Chapter 7: Hermione's surprise
Eight months later
Harry still refused to talk to Hermione even after many pleas from people the school year was nearly over and they hadn't talked since the end of September it was now nearly the end of May
Hermione had been putting on weight at an alarming rate she put it down to eating too much chocolate and being lazy. She was sick for a while as well. Ron was beginning to become concerned for her.
Hermione walked into Charms class and sat beside Ron they were to revise some charms and go over their end of year exams
Hermione of course earned points for doing each perfectly they then headed to potions where they would be doing the potion which would make a persons eye fall out of course snape had reassured them that if they did not pass that they would be made do it again and test it on themselves. Ron was dreading this class because he could never seem to pass it but he and Hermione had been practicing it in their spare time.
Snape had the desks set up when they walked into class "get started you have the rest of the class then you will bring I up to me and I will make sure that it is right"
Hermione nodded "good luck Ron" he smiled "good luck Hermione"
Hermione and Ron were the first to finish the potion. Snape looked at both potions carefully "well it would seem that these potions are correct let me just make sure" he cast a spell on it and it came up correct
He looked from Hermione to Ron "well ms Granger you seem to have gotten it right as usual and mr Weasly well done you two may leave"
Hermione and Ron picked up their schoolbags and left the dungeon . Hermione took a quick glance at Harry who was still struggling with his potion.
That was their last end of year test over with very few teachers gave an exam apart from potions charms and Herbology . It was their last day at school as sixth years.
They were so delighted that they decided to celebrate with sweets.
Hermione went up to the prefects room while Ron waited outside. Hermione arrived back out with the bag of sweets and the two of them walked around happily eating sweets
That Night
Harry walked up to his room to get his prefects coat and started doing his duties he thought about what he would do over the summer since him and Hermione were not talking Ron would let him stay wouldn't he?
Hermione began he duties she loved being a prefect but she was lonely at night she missed the conversations she used to have with Harry
The Next Day
Hermione packed her suitcase and her schoolbag full of items she would be bringing home for the summer
Hermione headed down to the end of year ceremony where Professor Dumbledore would award points for bravery and announce the winners of the house cup.
Hermione sat down beside Ron and waited excitedly for Professor Dumbledore to start awarding points to houses.
Hermione saw Hagrid smiling in his seat he was talking to Professor Trelawney about something she seemed interested Professor Dumbledore stood up and waited for silence "now as you know I will be awarding extra points before the final total is revealed now Hufflepuff ten extra points for helping us out with the cleaning of the brooms and so on twenty points are awarded to Slytherin for Draco Malfoy who bravely fought against the largest blast ended skrewts this school has ever seen" Draco took a bow "thank you mr Malfoy now Griffindors thank Harry Potter for bravely fighting away Peter Petigrew fifty points to you and Ravenclaw will be awarded thirty points for the best overall Herbology result well done now the totals are being added up Gryffindor wins! In second place Slytherin in third place Ravenclaw and in fourth place Hufflepuff well done everybody and enjoy your meal"
Claps were heard all round the Griffindors table. Harry was smiling happily at the congratulations he was receiving.
Hermione wanted to congratulate him but she could not because he wasn't talking to her. She sighed and turned to Ron "so Ron I can not wait to go to your house during the summer" Ron nodded and turned his attention to Lavender
Hermione smiled at him as she remembered the night he told her that he had lost his virginity. It was their first visit of the year to Hogsmeade and Ron was planning to get the wizard contraceptives when he got them two days after Lavender and Ron felt they were ready and used them. She had told Ron not to go into great detail even when she asked him about it she told him that it was his and Lavenders memory not hers.
Ron had invited Harry to stay the first two weeks of summer and Hermione the last two weeks
They were all boarding the train ready to go home when Hermione felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She ignored it even though it hurt
Hermione kept getting the sharp pains all the way home but she ignored them. Ron saw her wincing a couple of times but she insisted nothing was wrong because she had no idea either
Hermione got off the train and made her way through the wall to be greeted by her parents "mum dad" Hermione said running towards them
They hugged her and told her to stop hugging them or they would not be able to get to the car. Hermione laughed and followed them to the car she felt another sharp pain but ignored it. She was used to feeling them by now she had felt them on the way home on the train
Hermione's parents noticed but she told them that there was nothing wrong.
The car ride home was full of silence Hermione was in too much pain. She could not ignore it much longer. They pulled into their driveway and let Hermione out of the car
Hermione's mum let out a yelp when she saw water coming from Hermione
Hermione got a fright "what's wrong mum" Hermione asked
Hermione's mother looked at her "Hermione dear we have to get you to a hospital"
Hermione looked at her parents "why"
Hermione's mother put Hermione into the car "Hermione dear your waters have just broken"
Hermione was confused "what"
Her mother sighed "Hermione dear did you have unprotected sex this year"
Hermione looked at her mother "yes mum" she had completely forgotten all about when she slept with Harry they had not used protection
Her mother sighed again "I am not going to give out to you I just want you to know that I am here for you ok"
Hermione nodded she couldn't believe that she was having Harry's child. She had not planned to get pregnant so young.
They arrived at the hospital where the nurse took her straight to a delivery room "you are quite big did you not know you were pregnant" Hermione shook her head "no"
The nurse looked at her and sighed "you are quite big looks like quads" Hermione looked shocked "quads"
The nurse nodded "c'mon good girl there's a good girl" the nurse said helping Hermione onto the bed and getting her in the appropriate position
"Hermione push" the nurse said helping Hermione her mum holding her hand
Hermione pushed with all her might and ten hours later a baby girl was born they cut the cord and began to clean it
The nurse began to speak again "Hermione c'mon push I know you're tired but it will all be worth it" Hermione began to cry she never wanted to go this pain again for a while
A further five hours later a baby boy was born "again Hermione push" the nurse said
She was exhausted but she knew she had another two to get out of her so she kept going another eight hours later a baby boy was born
Hermione screamed in pain as the last one came out another three hours later a baby girl was born
Hermione was exhausted but her mum told her she had done a good job. She was brought back to a private room where she fell asleep
When she woke up she thought it had all been a dream but she knew it was not she looked over beside her and she saw four babies sleeping in the cribs
She saw one of the girls had a tuft of black curly hair she knew it was Harry's. she rolled over and saw her parents sleeping on chairs beside her "mum dad" she said
The opened their eyes and smiled at Hermione "honey do you want to ring the father"
Hermione shook her head
Hermione's parents looked confused "why"
Hermione looked down at her parents she didn't want to tell them why "well I am not really speaking to him" Hermione said
Her parents nodded "I will leave the choice up to you" Hermione's mum said
Hermione nodded she knew she had to tell somebody but not just yet.
