It Started With a Project

Chapter 8: baby names and the gift

Hermione woke up early the next morning to find her father had gone somewhere else her mother was sitting on the chair holding one of the babies Hermione smiled

"Hey mum" Hermione said brightly

Hermione's mum smiled "do you want to hold her" her mum said asking weather she wanted to hold one of her babies

Hermione nodded and her mum place the baby carefully in her hands "hello little Ella" Hermione said gazing down at the baby

Hermione's mum looked up at her "what you have thought of names" her mother said hopefully

Hermione nodded "but only two Ella and Lily" Hermione's mother nodded "they are nice names but what about the boys how about James and Harry"

Hermione looked shocked "mum how did you guess that"

She laughed "it wasn't hard dear look at them they look exactly like him" Hermione nodded

Hermione's mum got up and gave her a kiss on the cheek "I am going to go but sweetheart you have to tell him soon ok" Hermione nodded "oh and sweetie here's a phone you can use It I asked ring Ron even" Hermione nodded again her mum was right she needed to ring somebody so she decided to put Ella down and call Ron

She dialled in Ron's wizard number she was not sure it would work though. Thankfully it did "hello Molly Weasly here who is speaking"

"it's Hermione is Ron there"

"yes dear just one second"

"Ronald Weasly phone"

"Hello Hermione what so you want"

"well I was wondering what you would say if I told you I had quads and not the bikes"

"I would say when who with and why are you joking me"

"Ron this is not a joke I went into labour two days ago and I have four of Harry's kids lying in cribs beside me"

There was silence on the line for a few minutes

"which Hospital"

Hermione was relieved that he did not hang up on her he was actually asking what hospital she was in she might actually have some company other than her parents not that she didn't like them or anything

"it is a muggle hospital called St Josephs in London do you think you can make it"

Ron nodded on the other side of the line

"she can't hear a nod idiot" she could hear one of the Weasly twins say

"I would love to come see you in a few hours"

"bye"

"bye" Ron said

Hermione put the phone down and picked up one of the boys "hello Harry jr" she said cradling the baby boy who had the sparkling green eyes of his father and just visible wisps of curls like Hermione only hers was a lot frizzier

Hermione cradled each of the babies and gave them their first bottles she felt so proud to be a mum but still she wished she had Harry with her even if they were fighting she just wanted to see his face and tell him in person that he had four beautiful children but she knew that was only a dream and that she would probably never really talk to Harry again because her mum would probably want her to take full responsibility for her actions and leave school to take care of them.

Hermione could hear Ron's familiar voice coming along the corridors she smiled and put baby Harry down she sat up properly in her bed and waited eagerly for his arrival

Ron opened the door to find Hermione sitting up in her bed and smiling eagerly "hey Hermione you look well well for having four babies I know I would be a wreck"

Hermione beamed "thanks Ron good to know somebody cares"

Ron laughed "yeah but anyway did you tell Harry"

Hermione sighed and shook her head "I do not think he would want to know I mean he is only seventeen after all"

Ron looked at Hermione "well so what both of you have got to deal with it I mean you are"

Hermione looked at Ron "ya I suppose but I haven't talked to him since like September"

Ron looked at her with a serious look "Hermione you are so silly sometimes c'mon I'm sure you could put your differences aside and just at least take care of your children together"

Hermione nodded "hey Ron do you want to hold one" Hermione asked picking up Ella

Ron nodded "sure"

Hermione handed him Ella "that's Ella"

Ron smiled and looked down at her baby Ella was so like her is was unbelievable she had the brown eyes and the brown wisps of hair "she looks like you Hermione"

Hermione smiled "yeah but this little fella has the eyes of his father" she said picking up baby James

Ron smiled and looked at Hermione she was handling it so well but she did look like she would need help after all there were four it wasn't just one or two it was four even two would be hard to handle but four that would be impossible to look after by yourself

Hermione was not paying any attention to Ron who was staring at her she was too busy feeding the baby "Hermione you will need help you know that"

She sighed "I can handle them on my own" she said putting the baby back in it's crib

Ron shook his head "no you won't"

Hermione looked at him "I will Ron and I will not bother Harry about it ok"

Ron nodded "oh yeah here before I forget here is something that belongs to you"

Hermione shrugged "that's not mine"

Ron sighed "it is well it was meant for you it was something Harry was going to give to you"

Hermione shrugged "he hates me now and I thought you didn't know about us"

Ron sighed "I did Hermione he told me and then he told me to get rid of this so just take it"

Ron handed her a gold locket with Harry's and her name engraved on it

Ron looked at her "just open it Hermione you will understand"

Hermione looked confused "what do I need to understand"

Ron sighed "understand why he got so upset about you pretending that there was a project"

Hermione nodded "I will open it later" she said to Ron who was turning to leave

Hermione coughed "Ron are you taking something with you"

Ron looked down "oh sorry almost forgot"

Hermione laughed and watched Ron leave she sighed and decided she should probably open the locket. She looked at it there was a picture of Hermione and then a picture of Harry and in the middle was an inscription; Hermione I love you more than a project please make me happy and marry me

Hermione was shocked she did not have any idea that Harry felt this way about her she abused his love and now she would be alone without him as punishment.

She sighed and looked at her watch it was fifteen past three she decided to call Harry. She dialled in his number a man answered "hello Dursley's residence Vernon speaking"

"hello may I speak to Harry please"

"no you may not I will give him a message"

"well tell him Hermione rang and said sorry and that I have a surprise for him if he forgives me tell him to ring me on 083125690

"thanks for calling" he scribbled down the details

Harry was up in his room looking at a wizarding book when he heard Vernon shouting at him "Harry Potter down here now"

Harry sighed and got up off of his bed and thudded down the stairs "Harry I do not want you making such noise when you come down the stairs you got it and by the way don't let me have to pick up the phone again and have to take a message from one of your strange friends"

Harry looked at him "what who rang"

Vernon laughed "silly name really Hermione"

Harry sighed "what did she say"

Vernon looked at him "it's at the stairs"

Harry looked at him "it's at the stairs"

Vernon looked at him again "do you need directions"

Harry shook his head "no"

He made his way out to the stairs and found a small piece of pink paper with a message written across it it read ; Hermione rang and said sorry and that I have a surprise for him if he forgives me tell him to ring me on 083125690

Harry scrunched the small piece of pink paper and laughed 'she still thinks I'm gonna forgive her after she took my virginity'

Back At The Hospital

Hermione rolled over and rubbed her eyes and sat up. She saw all four of her babies asleep in their cribs she wished she was younger so she did not have to deal with being a young single mum.
