"Are you sure this is a good idea," Pavarti asked Hermione a couple of days later.

Hermione slipped on a black mini-skirt and matching top that showed a lot of her stomach, which she had enchanted to not show her condition.

"Of course," Hermione said. "I need to move forward in my marriage and this is a chance to do just that."

Pavarti bit her lip but knew that the conversation was over.

"So how long are you going to be out?" Pavarti asked.

"Not that long," Hermione promised. "After all this is just a date it's not like I'm going to spend the night with him."

And before Pavarti could answer that, Hermione was gone.

Remus was waiting on Hermione when she showed up. He stared at her outfit and she figured that he had never seen anything like it. She grinned, feeling strangely that she had gotten one over on him.

"Now don't be out to late," McGonagall teased.

Hermione blushed and both of them left.

Remus apperated them to a nice restaurant in Muggle London. Hermione seemed surprised that he knew of such a place since he had been raised in the Wizarding world.

"I used a phone and called it in," Remus told her.

Hermione seemed surprised.

"Lily taught me how to use one years ago," Remus explained. "And how to use a phone book."

"Well I should thank her when I die," Hermione said, smiling sweetly at him.

They entered the restaurant and Remus told the man up front that they had a reservation. He looked them up and then had them follow him to a nice seat that was next to the window.

"Your menus," he told them, handing them two.

He left them alone.

"So what should we get?" Hermione asked, looking hers over.

"How about some chicken with a nice sauce," Remus suggested. "And some apple juice."

"That sounds lovely, but I don't think they sell apple juice."

He turned his over and showed her.

"Well then we'll have that," Hermione said.

Remus snapped his fingers and the man returned.

"Well have your chicken with the red sauce," Remus said.

"Very well, do you want it with the wine added or not?"

"Not," Hermione said.

He wrote that down.

"And to drink?"

"Apple juice," Hermione said, pointing to her stomach.

He took the hint at once and wrote that down.

"Thank you and I hope that you enjoy your meal."

He took the menus and left.

"So where's Hermione at?" Harry asked Pavarti.

She looked up at him.

"She went out with her husband," Pavarti answered. "Some fancy restaurant or something of that nature."

Harry made a sour face.

"And what's that for?" she asked.

Harry crossed his arms and looked at her.

"Did think a filthy werewolf knew how to go into a restaurant!"

And he left before Pavarti could work out what he said.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

A tall woman delivered their first serving, a nice soup that seemed to be made to go with the main course. Hermione knew that Remus hadn't ordered it and when she told her that they hadn't ordered it, she explained that all the main courses had a special soup that went with it.

"Thanks," Hermione said.

They took their time with the soup, Hermione savoring every morsel that she put in her mouth.

"This is an excellent soup!" Remus commented.

Hermione nodded in agreement.

After the soup they had a nice salad that gave them the choice of dressings. Hermione chose ranch and Remus asked for the same thing. After the salad then their main course finally arrived. An hour later Remus paid for the bill and they left.

It was well after midnight before both of them returned to Hogwarts. Hermione said goodnight to Remus and then returned to Gryffindor tower. When she returned back to Gryffindor tower she was met with an angry Harry.

"Where the hell have you been?" Harry said, not even paying attention to the fact that she was happy.

She stared at him.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked.

"It's nearly one in the morning," Harry hissed.

Hermione suddenly was hit with what Harry was talking about and put her hands on her hips.

"For your information I was out on a date with Remus," Hermione said. "Now I'm going to bed and you better not bother me."

And she stormed past him.

Hermione wasn't in a good mood with Harry when she woke up. She didn't talk to him during Care of Magical Creatures and hurried off as fast as she could to have her monthly visit with Madam Pomfrey. Remus, himself, saw what was going on between her and Harry. Harry had been somewhat supportive of Hermione a few days after finding out that his best friend was having a child, now he felt that maybe he hadn't been telling Hermione the truth.

Two days later a loud scream went through the school. Students woke up from their beds, shocked that such a sound could exist. In the Hospital wing Madam Pomfrey was trying to stop internal bleeding that was coming from Eileen. Dumbledore was telling McGonagall about what had happened.

"She just woke up and that's when I smelled blood," he told her.

A few minutes later the screaming stopped and Madam Pomfrey appeared. She looked saddened and Dumbledore knew what had happened. She had lost the child.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"I can't even imagine what your mother is going through," Ginny said to Severus.

Severus, who was dead tired because he had spent all night with his mother, shook his head.

"So what is going to happen now?"

"I don't know," Severus said. "I really don't know, but I trust Dumbledore in helping her through this difficult time."

Ginny bit her lip to keep from crying.

On Saturday a notice arrived in the different common rooms, telling everyone that Professor Snape was opening a new club. Harry and the other Gryffindors were even interested in this. However, Hermione sighed up at once and then McGonagall came around to pick it up. She seemed surprised that no one wanted to know what it was about.

"I can't believe no one wanted to take up a craft club," McGonagall said to the Headmaster.

"Do you blame them," Dumbledore said. "Severus and craft shouldn't be in the same sentence."

McGonagall glared at him.
