"What…" Hermione asked herself before apparating to the flat to find something to wear… and to find Ginny to get a pregnancy test.
&&&
Ginny Weasley was sitting in her room in the flat that she, Harry, Ron and Hermione were currently sharing, when she heard a loud 'crack' coming from the kitchen. Where, did a loud and confused Hermione, soon follow.
"Ginny! Ginevra Weasley! Where are you?" Hermione screamed looking around the flat frantically.
"I'm right here." Ginny answered walking up behind the screaming woman.
"Oh, thank God." Hermione said, softly embracing her friend in a hug.
A few second went by when Ginny asked, "Why are we hugging?"
"Your…"
"Oh, no." Ginny started. "Is my brother being a giant prat again?"
"What, oh no. It's not that."
"Then what is it?" Ginny urged.
"I'm getting to that… well, your mother told me that I may be pregnant. Ginny, I can't be. After the last miscarriage…"
Ginny gasped at her words. "Miscarriage?"
"Yes. Seven years ago. But, that's… after the last miscarriage... the doctors told me that I may not able to get pregnant again. Ginny, I'm so scared." Hermione finished, walking to the small love seat by the window and falling down on it. "What if your Mum's right? Then what? I don't want to lose another baby. Ginny… What if…" Hermione cried with small tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Hermione, it will all turn out to be ok. Trust me."
"That's what Ron said." Hermione hiccupped.
"And he's right. Now, shall we go se if you are indeed pregnant with my brother's baby?" Ginny asked and added as an after-thought, "Ok, gross… you slept with my brother…"
This statement caused a very flustered Hermione to smile a wicked smile. "Yes, I did sleep with your brother. He is quite the expert with me…"
"Ok, Mione. I don't need to know! Let's just go see if you're knocked up."
"Ginny…" Hermione scolded.
"What? All I said was 'knocked up'… So, how do we confirm whether or not you are pregnant?"
"Well, I think we should go to a Muggle drug store and get a Muggle pregnancy test."
"Ok, then. Lead the way."
&&&
"Hey ya, Harry." Ron said as he walked through the living room of the small flat that the four of them shared.
"What's up, Ron?"
"Mione told my mother that I'm searching for a better job than the one I have."
"Well, you know, mate, just because she was gone for seven years in a mental ward nonetheless, she still is the same old Hermione Granger from Hogwarts. Sure, she was depressed for a while could you blame her? She lost a baby for crying out loud, but that doesn't mean she'll go and change on us."
"Yeah, I guess you're right, mate."
"Hell yes, I'm right. Now go get yourself a better job." Harry told him.
"Harry, how did you know about Mione's miscarriage all those years ago?"
"Ginny."
"How did Ginny know?"
"Hermione."
"When did Hermione tell her?"
"Not too long ago."
"Oh… ok." A very relieved Ron answered back. "Do you know where Hermione is?"
"Uh… Ginny left a note saying something about her and Hermione going to some Muggle drug store for something… She didn't exactly say what, I s'pose she's trying to hide something; both her and Hermione." Harry chuckled a bit. "It's probably something to do with women stuff. No need to bother."
"Eh. What'cha watching?"
"Quidditch."
"I know that." Ron said pointedly. "Who against who?"
"The Chuddley Cannons against Krum's team."
"Ah, I see. Should I go get some beers then?"
"Already got a few." Harry smirked.
"My best mate!" Ron cried as he grabbed a beer from the small cooler Harry had beside him.
&&&
"Well, what does it say?" Ginny practically screamed as Hermione and her sat in the bathroom at The Burrow.
"I… Oh my God."
"What? What is it? Is it good? What?" Ginny screamed excitedly.
"I'm pregnant." Hermione breathed. "Oh my God."
"Congrats, Mione. Ron will be ecstatic!" Ginny smiled.
"Your Mum was right. I am… pregnant." Hermione said flustered.
"Well, of course she is. She had 7 kids from 6 pregnancies." Ginny said, practically reciting what Mrs. Weasley told her only hours before.
"How can this be?"
"What do you mean, Hermione?"
"We only did it… oh…"
"What is it?"
"Never mind." Hermione blushed.
"It is Ron's, right?"
"Of course, Ginny. That's a silly question to ask. It's just… a little while after I got back, Ronald and I…"
"OH! No need to continue. So, when are you gonna tell him?"
"Today. I'm not waiting like I did before." Hermione smiled a bit. "I've got to go tell Ron!" Hermione yelled, excitedly as she apparated towards their flat.
&&&
"Ronald!" Hermione yelled throughout the flat, running into the living room.
As if the flat was on fire, Ron jumped up immediately and ran to Hermione. "What is it, love? Is something the matter?"
"No, nothing's the matter at all. I just have great news!"
"What is it?"
"I'm… we're… pregnant!"
"Really?" Ron asked ecstatically.
"Yes." Hermione smiled, tears streaming down her face.
"Oh, Mione, why are you crying?"
"I'm just so happy."
"Good, nothing can bring us down, now. Nothing." Ron said pulling her into a hug.
"Did you hear that, Harry? Hermione's pregnant!" Ron yelled.
"I did, mate. Congratulations you two." Harry said, walking to the couple and patting Ron on the back before hugging Hermione as Ginny apparated into the living room.
"Well, you could've waited for me, Mione." Ginny told her, smiling.
"Sorry, Ginny. I was just too excited. What took you so long?" Hermione asked her.
"Oh, nothing. Mum just asked me why you were so loud. And I told her it was a surprise. And she told the four of us to come to dinner tonight if the surprise was that big that I couldn't tell her." Ginny laughed.
"Well, then we should probably get ready." Hermione told her, leading Ginny into one of the bedrooms so they could find something nice to wear for the occasion.
"Well, that means that I should probably get a new job." Ron laughed.
"Yeah, mate. And a new place, furniture, baby stuff. And then after the baby is born a whole crap load of baby food and diapers."
"You make it sound horrible."
"Sorry, mate." Harry laughed. "But, at least you'll be together." Harry reassured him.
"True. And I'm happy for that."
"Me too, mate." Harry told him, really speaking about him and Ginny.
