- Chapter 4 - Back At Hogwarts
A week before Christmas, Harry and Hermione were sitting in their bedroom. Harry had just returned from a mission and Hermione was helping him with a wound on his left arm.
"Why you didn't ask for a Healer when you returned to the Ministry?" Hermione asked him angrily.
"Come on hun, it's not that serious." Harry replied and bit his lip for don't scream when Hermione used a potion before healed him with a spell.
"Yeah I see!" Hermione said and stood up, turned her back to him and started watching out of their bedroom's window.
"Come on 'Mione, I'm fine..." Harry said and hugged her from behind.
"Yes, this time you are, what about the next one?." Hermione said and tried relax.
"Sweetheart, we chose this job didn't we? Everything is fine, please calm down." Harry said and stroked her belly.
" I'm sorry... I just feel that something bad will happen..." Hermione said.
"It's OK baby, I understand, lets talk about something else, shall we? Did you visit Hogwarts today?" Harry said and led her back to their bed.
"Well, no I didn't feel good all morning, but I will visit tomorrow, I have to visit the D.A.D.A. classes of sixth and seventh year and after to talk with Madame Pomfrey." Hermione smiled at him.
"You think she'll accept?" Harry said.
"Yeah she will, she knows she's the only Healer close to Hogsmeade, and as I learned she had helped other pregnant women to deliver from the village so yeah I think she will."
"I hope so, I can't help you delivering our baby of my own." Harry joked.
"Well, I hope she'll say yes, I trust her, she is getting upset really easily but she is great Healer, she had helped us so many times in our years at Hogwarts." Hermione smiled.
"Yeah, that's true, if you need anything Minerva, Remus and Hagrid will be there so don't be shy to talk to them." Harry said.
"Yes Sir, I know what to do if I need any kind of help... I know how to protect my self." Hermione said and slapped his arm lightly.
"Yes, you know how to protect your self, but I want to be sure my child will be safe..." Harry laughed and laid her on their bed.
"Oh well well. Your child? What about your wife Mr. Potter?" Hermione laughed too.
"Well as I know, she can protect her self..." Harry smiled. "Would you like some message?" Harry asked.
"Hmm, it sounds great." Hermione said and put her foot on his laps. Harry started messaging it.
"Have you think about names?" Harry asked.
"Well yeah... I have some ideas. But I won't tell you a word, I want first to know our baby's sex." Hermione smiled.
"Oh please tell me." Harry said and tickled her sole, Hermione started laughing and tried took her foot away from him but he attacked to her, he came on top of her without pushing her body with his own. "You'll tell me, or I'll make you to." Harry smiled and kissed her on the lips.
"OK, I'm an Auror, I can stand any kind of torture..." Hermione giggled and kissed him back.
Sun had rose two hours ago, the magical alarm clock was showing 7:30 when a crazy little voice started screaming from it "Harry and Hermione! Time to wake up! Harry! Hermione!" the clock was repeating with a voice close to Hermione's.
" I hate that clock and I hate Tonks who bought it for us!" Harry said sleepily and tried turn it off. The clock was on Hermione's side so Harry couldn't graped it.
"Oh God, why so early?" Hermione murmured and graped her wand first and then the clock, made a spell and the clock stopped screaming. "You have to wake up honey." Hermione shook Harry's arm.
"I know, give me five more minutes." Harry said and laid back to his side.
"Wake up sweetheart, you'll be late, you have to take a shower first." Hermione kept shooking him.
"That's so unfair, when the wife became pregnant both future parents should took some months off!" Harry murmured and started searching for his glasses on the bed-side table next to him.
"Well, that's an interesting theory, I have to wake up too, I'm visiting Hogwarts today." Hermione said and stood up first.
They took a shower together and then Hermione came out and started drying her hair. Harry went downstairs and made breakfast for both of them.
"Oh my...When did you make all that?" Hermione asked when she came to the kitchen.
"You need to eat more than before. So I made breakfast for make sure you will." Harry smiled and hand her a cup of chocolate.
"Please give me some coffee, just for once." Hermione begged but Harry shook his head.
"Forget it sweetheart." Harry said and drank from his cup of hot coffee.
"You are a cruel and bad person who deserves just a pathetic life and a painful end." Hermione said and drank from her cup.
"I love you too darling." Harry smiled at her.
They took their breakfast and then Harry woke up first, Hermione followed him in the hall and helped him with his coat.
"I'll come and pick you up from the school in the afternoon." Harry smiled.
"OK, I'll be waiting."
"Don't forget to invite them for dinner."
"I won't honey, say hello to Tonks from me please." Hermione smiled.
"OK, I will love. Have a nice day." Harry said and kissed her.
"Thank you honey. Be careful, you promise?" Hermione asked and kissed him.
"Yes baby I do promise, take care." Harry said before apparated himself.
Hermione went upstairs and dressed up in warm clothes. Then she went to the kitchen and drank the last sips of coffee from Harry's cup. Then Winky showed up. "Good morning Mrs. Hermione." Winky said and looked at her.
"Good morning Winky, let me clean the table and then you and Dobby will be alone until the afternoon, I have to visit Hogwarts today." Hermione said.
"No no, please Mrs. Hermione I will clean the kitchen and make dinner for you and Mr. Harry." Winky said.
Hermione didn't want to argue with her, she knew how much useless the elf could feel if her master did her jobs so she just left the kitchen.
An hour later Hermione was crossing Hogwarts' gates and entered the Entrance Hall. The first person who saw was Mr. Filtch, screaming to four first-years. Hermione couldn't help but smile to that picture, it remained her all the times Filtch was close to catch her, Harry and Ron in their seven years at Hogwarts.
The breakfast had just finished in the Great Hall and all the students started coming out from it. Many students started whispering and saying to each other that this woman was Hermione Granger, the Auror, Harry Potter's wife.
Hermione kept waking when 3 little Gryffindor girls blocked her way.
"Are you Mrs. Potter?" The taller girl asked her.
"Yes I am." Hermione smiled at them. But before the girls said something more the Headmistress showed up behind the three little girls.
"Misses Morison, Brown and Adams, please let Mrs. Potter alone." Minerva McGonagall said to them with her famous cold voice. The three girls froze, tried to smile at Hermione and ran away from her.
"You shouldn't scare them so much, they just asked me if I was Hermione Potter after all." Hermione smiled.
Minerva hugged her and said with a totally deferent voice. "I'm so happy you came. Lets go to my office."
Hermione followed her old teacher to her office "Chocolate Frogs" Minerva said to the statue and it started moving. The two women entered the office, Minerva sat on her seat and showed to Hermione another one. Many portraits started looking at Hermione but none talked.
"Why Harry didn't come with you? I thought you will talk to the sixth years and him to the seventh." Minerva smiled at her old student and appeared two cups of coffee on the desk.
"Well... I will be the onlyone who will visit Hogwarts from now on for teach to classes as guest." Hermione said and tried not look at the cup of coffee in front of her.
"Oh and why is that? What happened?" Minerva asked worried.
"Well it's not something bad, I just took Harry's hours here for kill my hour, I took some months off from work."
"What? Why?" Minerva cut her again.
"Because I'm pregnant and I can't fight evil wizard with Harry's baby inside me." Hermione smiled proudly to her.
"Oh Gods! That is fantastic!" Minerva rose from her seat and hugged Hermione like Moly would.
"Yeah I know." Hermione said as Minerva was pulling back.
"Congratulations my dear." A man talked from a portrait.
"Thank you professor Dumbledore." Hermione smiled.
"Please pass to Harry my congratulations." Dumbledore's figure said.
"I will professor, gladly." Hermione smiled again.
"OK, Hermione, your guest visit is starting in 10 minutes in Remus' class on the third floor and I have to give some detentions to Mr. Tomas for spend his week." Minerva said and smiled again.
"Oh ok...Professor, Harry and I would be really happy if you'll join us for dinner at Christmas Eve, we can talk about it, have a nice day." Hermione smiled and left the office after her goodbye to Dumbledore's portrait. She walked slowly to the third floor and there a ghost was waiting fo her. "My dear Hermione Granger, or should I call you Mrs. Potter?" Sir Nicolas said and smiled at her.
"Hello Nick, how are you?" Hermione smiled and kept walking.
"Well, I'm boring to death." Nick joked as he followed her.
Hermione laughed. " I have to visit Professor Lupin's class, I'll see you later." Hermione smiled and opened a door on her right side. Almost fifty kids were waiting for her, the half of them with red and the other half with yellow robes.
"Hermione!" Remus smiled and hugged her. "I mean... Mrs. Potter, such an order." Remus said and everyone laughed, including him and Hermione.
After an hour the bell started ringing and kids came out disappointed for their little time with a true Auror and specially with that Auror.
"Well how are you doing?" Remus asked as they both sat near the fireplace and waited for the bell ringing again.
"Fine thank you, I'd like to invite you and Tonks for a dinner in my house, Harry and I have something to tell you." Hermione smiled.
"Oh ok sure." Remus said. "Is something wrong?" He asked a bit worried.
"No no, everything is alright, Minerva will join us, I'll invite Hagrid too." Hermione smiled.
"OK, if everything is alright then I'll gladly join you and my dear Harry for dinner at Christmas Eve." Remus smiled.
The bell ringed again and two teams, one in red and the other in blue robes this time entered the class, whispering excited. After that class Hermione walked down the hall and took the right corridor which led her to the Hospital Wing, she entered the long,large room and stood there, waiting, two kids were on two beds, both of them with scratches and wounds around their faces and bodies.
"Next time you will steal broomsticks and fly without promision you will be expelled Mr. Tomas and Speedman! The Headmistress will be here in any second!" Madame Pomfrey screamed from inside her office before showed up with two bottles of potions in her hands, she was more tired then the last time Hermione saw her but she was still strong as rock.
"Oh Hermione! What are you doing here?" Madame Pomfrey asked surprised.
"Well I need your help." Hermione smiled.
An hour after Hermione walked out Madame Pomfrey's office.
"You need to be extra careful my dear, don't get pissed, relax, don't move things without help and try be careful with your husband... plus and most important you have to take the potions I gave you for the rest months of your pregnancy, the potion for learn your baby's sex needs a week to be done and I don't have it here, you can buy the book from Hogsmeade for make it, the title is "Potions for everything" I suggest you to start making the potion today, it will be ready on Christmas so you can have one more surprise for Mr. Potter." Madame Pomfrey said before Hermione left the Hospital Wing.
"I'll see you in a month, thank you very much...Poppy." Hermione said and smiled at her.
Hermione closed the door behind her, turned around and gasped, some inches from her a brunette, Asian woman stood frozen too. There was a third-year student next to her.
"Umm Kevin, go inside, Madame Pomfrey will help you with your headache." Cho Chang smiled to her student. "Hello Hermione, long time no see." Cho turned and smiled to Hermione.
She moved away from the door and smiled to the woman in front of her. "Hello Cho, how are you?" Hermione managed to ask. It was hard for both of them to talk to each other, Cho was Harry's first released love, the girl who first kissed him. Hermione was his best friend, and his wife for the last three years of his life. An awkward silence followed and then Cho replied finally.
"Fine thank you, what about you? What are you doing here?" Cho smiled.
"Umm I will be visiting Hogwarts as guest speaker for the D.A.D.A. classes." Hermione replied smiling as well.
"Uhmm yeah I know about it. I meant what are you doing here... in the Hospital Wing." Cho said.
"Oh, well... I need some medical help." Hermione said. For some reason she didn't want to say to Cho she was pregnant.
"Oh why? What's wrong?" Cho asked worried.
"Well... nothing is wrong actually, I-I'm pregnant--" Hermione said and avoided Cho's eyes. She froze looking at Hermione's face and down her abdomen. After some seconds she almost whispered.
"Oh that is... great. Congratulations."
"Uhmm thanks Cho." Hermione tried smile.
"I-I have to go, I'm sorry but my class is waiting for me. Bye Hermione, nice to see you again." Cho said and started walking away before Hermione replied.
She had a free hour until lunch so she decided to walk around the castle and tested her memory to every little secret door through walls and portraits. She and Harry knew the castle very well but they really learned everything in it at their last year at Hogwarts as Head Boy and Girl. Hermione crossed the Great Hall (which was empty yet) and opened a small door close to staff members' table. There was room full of cups and awards in posh vitrines and tables. Hermione started walking around and stopped in front of a big vitrine, three awards were standing there, one for Harry Potter, one for Ronald Weasley and one more for her, Hermione Granger, for special offer to Hogwarts' history by defeating Voldemort. There was a parchment full of names of the people who had fought that night against Him. Hermione didn't know for how long she stood there reading the names over and over again.
She finally walked a bit away, there were a few more awards for Harry as Griffydor Team's Captain for Quiditch. There was another, a really big one parchment, pinned on a wall, with all the Head Boys and Girls who had passed from Hogwarts, Hermione searched eight lines from the end and touched with her fingertips hers and Harry's names. Then the bell rung and she decide to leave for go and take her lunch with the rest of the staff members. She opened the door and gasped for second time in the same day, this time Harry was standing right in front of her. "Harry! What are you doing here so early?" Hermione asked and hugged him.
"Well we didn't have much work and Tonks will cover me for the rest of the hours, Nick said you were there and I was coming to find you when the bell rung, come on, Moony is waiting for us to take our seats." Harry smiled and took her hand. They sat next to each other and enjoyed their meal, tens of students' eyes were watching them, but they didn't mind at all, they have used to. After the lunch the Great Hall started getting empty. Harry went closer to Hagrid (who was sitting on the other side of the table) and invited him to their dinner, "Oh of course I will." Hagrid smiled and hit friendly Harry's shoulder making him even on that age weak to his knees. Harry returned to Hermione (on the other side of the table) and together started walking for the Entrance Hall. Cho took the carriage and stopped them.
"Hello Harry." she smiled.
"Oh... Hello Cho, long time no see." Harry replied a bit uneasy.
"Uhmm Hermione talked to me about her pregnancy. Congratulations." Cho smiled at both of them.
"Oh thanks Cho." Harry smiled back.
"Uhm well, I have to go for prepare for my next class. Bye Harry, Hermione." Cho smiled again and left.
"She looks fine." Harry said.
"Well yeah she does, eleven years have gone... she needs to get over Cedric's death." Hermione replied.
"It was really hard for her." Harry said.
"And so unfair, at least the murderer is dead.." Hermione said and get upset at Pettigrew's though.
"It's Ok, it's over honey, relax. What happened with Madame Pomfrey?"
"She said yes, we need to stop in a few stores before our return at home, we need to buy a book and some other stuffs for my potions." Hermione said.
"Then lets go, we have to walk enough." Harry said and they started walking away from the castle. They talked about Hermione's day at Hogwarts, and the potion which could reveal the sex of the baby. They bought anything they needed and returned to their home, statred making the potion and took their dinner, then went upstairs and kept their talking about their baby.
"I think it will be a girl." Harry smiled and laid next to his wife on their bed.
"Well I think it will be a boy." Hermione smiled.
Harry pulled her into his hug and kissed her forehead. "Son or daughter, you have gave me the most great gift I could ever ask." Harry said and kissed the top of her head, he wanted to talk more about it but Hermione was already asleep with her head arresting on his chest so he kept looking at her for a bit more and then he fall asleep too.
