She was shaking fiercely.
"Hermione, dear, wake up." Madam Pomfrey said as she tried to wake the sleeping girl.
"Huh, wahh...where am I?" Hermione said, before realizing she was in the hospital wing.
"Oh, yeah. Madam Pomfrey, do you have that potion so that I can drink it and go back to class?" Hermione asked sitting up.
"Dear, I am afraid that a potion will not help your problem." Madam Pomfrey said, looking very sad.
"Why?! Oh know, what's wrong? Is it deadly?" Hermione asked, deathly afraid of what was wrong with her.
"No dear, I'm afraid that you are pregnant. Only barely though, I'd say you were a month and a half along. But, dear, how did this happen to you - of all people?" Madam Pomfrey asked, still completely stunned.
"I'm WHAT?????" Hermione asked, freaking out.
"I can't be, there is no way. I haven't done anything. I'm clean, I can't be pr...pre..." She couldn't bring herself to say the words.
"I'm sorry dear, but you most definitely are. I've called the headmaster down and we are going to see what can be done about this. We definitely don't want you to have to leave school, but you can't be pregnant at school. I just don't know what is to be done about this." Madam Pomfrey started to babble on.
Hermione sat there in utter disbelief. When had she ever done anything to cause pregnancy, and then it hit her. She and Harry had done it, but only once, and never again, they hadn't had time since them.
Only once, no one ever got pregnant off of having sex once! This was impossible. It was all some joke that McGonagall and Harry were playing on her, or something. It couldn't be true.
That was when it hit her, she had skipped period, but that wasn't unusual either. Oh no! What was she going to tell her parents? What would she do now? How was she going to survive? How would she tell Harry?? What about the Weasleys? Where would she go? Hermione looked up at Madam Pomfrey and began to cry harder then she ever had before. She crumpled up on the bed in a little ball and cried. She cried for herself, the life she would miss out on, for Harry and ruining his life, and most of all, she cried for the little life inside of her that was a little bit of her and Harry combined that should have never even been made. She laid there and sobbed.
McGonagall stood inside Madam Pomfreys office staring at her.
"Poppey are you sure that there is nothing that was done wrong? We are talking about Hermione Granger, top student in her class. She was going to gradute with all her NEWTS and go on to be a huge success. I don't understand how she could have let this happen!" McGonagall said all in one breath
"I felt the same way Minerva. I re-did the test four times, each time it came back positive. Is there anything we can do for her?" Poppey asked.
"We can help her through this. Of course, we'll have to talk to her, then to Harry and finally to Miss Grangers parents. I still just can't believe this. How could it happen." McGonagall shook her head in disbelief before entering the hospital wing to find Hermione laying on the bed bawling.
"Now now, miss Granger, I understand we have a problem on our hands."
Hermione looked up and hiccuped, then started to cry harder.
"I...I don't...I mean...one time...not fair...how...why..." Was all that made it out of Hermiones mouth before she started to sob again.
"Well Miss Granger here is what needs to happen. I understand the horrible feeling you are having.
This isn't the first time this has happened here at Hogwarts. We must tell Potter, then we must inform your parents. You are permitted to stay at school till your robes start to show a bump, then you must go, this way no one will have any idea why you have left. No one needs to know but whomever is necessary. You can take your NEWTS at the ministery of magic a few days after they are taken here and then you can go on with life. We would love to keep you here, but students will be students and I don't want you to go through any of what they would say. Plus school regulations say you must leave once you begin to show. Now, Madam Pomfrey can make you a potion weekly to help with the nausea. She will also give you a sleeping aid, that way you can get some rest. You will sleep here tonight. Tomorrow you must return to classes. You must tell Harry tonight. Tell your parents whenever you see fit, but I suggest it sooner then later. Now, I know this is alot to take in right now, but Harry is on his way now. It's best that you clean up a little and get ready to tell him. I'll give you some privacy." McGonagall finished up, patted Hermione on the back and walked out of the room, Madam Pomfrey by her side, shaking her head as she went.
Hermione sat up and tried to gain what composure she had left. Stripped of all she had ever known, she was hurt and horribly terrified. She started to recite what she would tell Harry when the door opened.
Harry walked in, looking slightly worried, but more confused then anything. His glance swept the hospital wing and landed on Hermione.
His mouth opened and he ran over to her.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay. Baby what's the matter? Why are you crying? Why are you looking at me like that? Are you okay?" He asked.
Hermione just looked at him and let out a little sob.
"Oh, sweetie, I don't know what's wrong, but don't worry, I'm here." Harry said.
At that Hermione cried harder. Harry pulled her chin up tenderly and softly kissed her.
"Whatever it is, we'll get through this." He said, smiling.
Hermione looked up at him and tried to smile, it didn't work.
"Harry...I...I'm...We are...I mean...I'm pregnant!" She finally got out.
Harry' mouth opened, then closed, then opened again.
"How...waaa...why...I...Oh" He said, then looked at her.
"How long have you known?" He asked.
"About five minutes. Sweety, I'm sorry, I didn't want this to happen. I don't understand what's going on and I'm so scared. I'm so afraid of what's going to happen. I have to tell my parents. I'm sorry, I'm sooo sorry." Hermione spilled, starting to cry hard again.
"You shouldn't be sorry, that one night that we had was absolutely amazing. It's my fault as much as it is yours. I know it's wrong but I'm kinda excited. You and me created a baby. Hermione, we are going to have a child. You and me, with our love did this. Wow. We'll get through this. I'll be with you the whole time. We'll graduate and I'll get a job. We'll get married and we'll do this together." Harry said. He smiled at Hermione and kissed her again.
Somehow something inside Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at Harry, the first smile of this whole thing.
"Okay, we can do this...okay." She smiled and the kissed again.
