Magic of the Heart
Doctor

The next day we get up and go talk to Dumbledore. He grants us permission so now all we have to do is wait to hear from Mr. Granger.

It takes Mr. Granger about a week to get back to us with a date with Hermione's ob/gyn. He had gotten an appointment for that following Tuesday at 11:30. We had our teachers informed that we would be gone with Dumbledore's permission. We left that Monday night so we wouldn't have to worry about getting to Hermione's parents house in the morning.

We weren't sure how we were going to get there though.

"You may use the floo in my office to get to Diagon Alley. Just say Gringott's"

"Is it safe for Hermione to use floo powder?" I ask I don't want anything to happen to her or the baby.

"Yes Miss Larson, it is perfectly safe for Miss Granger to floo until her third trimester." Madam Pomfrey says as she joins us. "I just wanted to make sure Miss Granger was feeling alright before she left. Travel by any magical way can cause nausea for anybody but worse for pregnant women."

"I am feeling fine Madam Pomfrey thank you for your concern." Hermione says.

"Well it is my duty to keep the students safe and as seeing as you are my first pregnancy I have to take extra care."

"Your first? Really?" I'm shocked that there aren't more with this being pretty much a co-ed boarding school, in the words of my best friend's mother back in America.

"Yes there are special wards up in the school that act like contraceptive charms for those students who are sexually active." Madam Pomfrey says. "But we do not tell the students that for reasons you understand." She looks to me and can tell I am about to ask an obvious question. "And no Miss Larson I do not understand why it did not work for you and Miss Granger."

"Oh ok."I say and shut my mouth. Hermione takes my hand and squeezes it. I look over and she smiles a big grin at me. I smile back.

"Ok, you two had better get going Gringott's closes in an hour." McGonagall says.

"Yes thank you." Hermione says. I step into the floo first.

"GRINGOTT'S" I shout and throw down the powder then go up in green flames. Next thing I know I am laying flat on my face in Gringott's lobby area covered in soot. I am about to get up when I hear the floo light up behind me. I turn onto my back just in time to have Hermione fall on top of me.

"Oomph." She says as she lands. My arms automatically wrap around her to protect her. I can feel her hard belly bump against my stomach. I smile up at her.

"You ok darling?"

"Yes love, but I would not have fallen if you hadn't decided to lie down in front of the floo." She laughs and kisses my forehead then gets up. She helps me up and I dust myself off. I help her clean herself off. I run my hand over her bell softly.

"I hadn't realized you had a bump yet, I had noticed your stomach was harder but not a bump." I smile and leave my hands on her tummy.

"Yeah I know, I'm getting fat." She sounds sad.

"Aww Love it's a good thing." I wrap my arms around her and hold her close.

"Anna?"

"Yes my darling."

"Will you still love me when I am big and fat and waddle like a duck?"

"Oh Love I will love you for eternity no matter what you look like. And I can't wait to see your stomach swollen with our child. I will want to kiss it and touch it all day. And when I make love to you I will massage it as I lick up your juices and enter you feeling your warm wetness envelope my fingers." I whisper in her ear. She moans. I lick her ear lobe then move away from her but she quickly grabs my face and kisses me hard.

"Eeh hem" we hear behind me. Hermione looks and sees her parents. I turn to look. I blush beet red

We drove back to Hermione's parents in silence. Hermione rests her head on my shoulder and wrap my arm around her and hold her close and rest my hand on Hermione's stomach. I smile and Hermione rests her hand over mine and intertwines her fingers with mine. I kiss her forehead and smile.

"I love you." I whisper kissing the top of her head again. Hermione squeezes my hand and snuggles closer.

We arrive about 45 minutes later. Hermione has fallen asleep. I unbuckle her and myself. I lower her head to the seat as I slide out my side and move to the other door. I open it and slowly lift Hermione out of the car trying not to hit her head on the door. Richard comes over and helps. Hermione wraps her arms around my neck and nuzzles into me.

"Want me to carry her? Rich asks.

"No I got her. I better carry her now before I can't." I giggle. Hermione slaps my shoulder. I didn't know she had woken up. "Ow, sorry I didn't know you were awake. Do you want me to put you down?"

"No I like you carrying me. Now take me inside before I freeze."

"Ok Love." I lean down and kiss her.

"We're going to bed see you in the morning." Hermione says to her parents.

"Ok night Poppet." Rich kisses Hermione's head.

"Sweet dreams darlings." Jean says kissing my cheek and Hermione's head. Richard opens the door and I carry Hermione inside and up to her room. I close the door behind me with my foot and lay Hermione on the bed. I move to get some pj's for us but Hermione grabs me and pulls my down into a fierce kiss.

"Mmm." I moan loudly. Hermione releases my lips when air is needed. She lifts her head and whispers in my ear.

"I'm not tired anymore" I hear her smirk and feel her slide her hand into my pants and starts rubbing my clit through my silky panties.

"Mmm Hermione…we…we…" she flips us over and gets on top of me. She slides her other hand up under my shirt and pinches my nipple. Merlin how I love it when she is forceful. She leans down and kisses my hard.

"Mmm I love the taste of your lips." Hermione says. She removes her hand from my pants and literally rips my shirt off along with my bra. She nips down my neck and chest and latches onto one on my hard nipples.

"Oh…God… Hermione…" I try to move away but Hermione just presses me harder into the mattress and she straddles my hips. "Your… your…parents." I gasp out.

"They can't hear us I've had a silencing charm on my room since after 1st year." She grins at me and grinds her groin into my hips.

"Aaahhh" I gasp. She starts grinding faster.

"Oh Anna I need you so bad." In the blink of an eye our clothes are gone and Hermione is grinding hard against me. Her wetness covering me dripping down between my thighs and mixing with my own juices. She grips at my sides and drags her nails along my skin. I arch up pressing harder up into her. I hold her hips as she rubs herself on me getting off like no tomorrow. "Oh Merlin… oh… oh… ah… ah… yesssss… Aaaannnnnnnnaaaa!" Hermione cums fast and hard. Her juices squirt from her and cover my stomach and legs. She twitches a little then collapses onto my chest and pants heavily. I just smile at her and kiss the top of her head. I gently stroke her hair.

"Merlin, how I love you so." I say into her hair and hug her close.

"I love you too. I'm sorry."

"For what, love?"

"For using you like I just did. These stupid pregnancy hormones."

"Don't apologize for that. I like you using me like that." I say and Hermione giggles lifting her head and kissing my softly. She then turns her head and yawns.

"Oh excuse me. Guess I am more tired than I realized."

"Its ok love today was a long day and tomorrow is going to be longer yet." I grab the comforter that was folded at the base of the bed and cover us up.

"But what about you?" Hermione lifts her head looking at me.

"I am absolutely great Love. All I need right now is you in my arms and knowing that I love you and you love me."

"Of course I love you." Hermione kisses her softly. "I am carrying our love child am I not?" She smiles and giggles a little.

"That you are love and I won't let anybody or thing hurt or take her from us." I stroke her hair. "Now let's go to sleep." She nods and sighs contently.

We wake the next morning and eat a healthy breakfast. And before we know it, it is time to head to the doctor's I am getting nervous and it's not even my appointment.

Hermione's mom drives us the doctor's office. I am now getting really nervous. I don't know what the doctor will say or ask. I don't even know if they will let me back with Hermione. Hermione can sense my worry and grabs my hand.

"Everything is going to be fine." She says and smiles

"Yeah but what if they ask about the father what will you say."

"I'll say that the father of my child is happy and will do anything to keep us safe."

"Yeah but…" Hermione puts her finger on my lips.

"No everything will be fine. You will be with me in the room and see our daughter for the first time. It is none of their business who I love and who is the parent of my children. I know your history and can tell them what they need to know. It is all going to be fine, love." She leans over and kisses me.

"Ok we're here." Jean says as she puts the car in park and turns it off.

"Ok." We say and get out of the car. I walk around and take Hermione's hand as we enter the large brick building. Hermione squeezes my hand. It should be me squeezing hers. We reach a door that reads Dr. Lynn Thatcher, M.D. OB/GYN. Jean opens the door and holds it open for me and Hermione. We enter and head to the reception desk.

"Hermione Granger for Dr. Thatcher at 11:30" Hermione says.

"Ok if you'll take a seat she should be ready for you in a few minutes. The receptionist says and smiles at us.

"Thank you." We say and go take a seat. I rest my hand on Hermione's thigh as we sit waiting. I bounce my leg trying to calm my nerves. Hermione reaches over and stops my leg.

"Stop it, that's annoying."

"I'm sorry I can't help it." I start bouncing my leg again.

"Here maybe this will help." Hermione smiles and leans over to me taking my chin and turning my head to look at her. She kisses me softly on my lips. I close my eyes and sigh into her lips.

"Umm, Hermione Granger." A nurse enters the waiting room and sees us kissing.

"Oh." Hermione says pulling away and stands. "Come on." She pulls me up and doesn't let go of my hand.

"Will you please step on the scale?" the nurse asks and Hermione steps on the scale, and then steps off. The nurse looks at the chart and then back to Hermione and cocks and eyebrow.

"I've gained half a stone." Hermione tells me. "7 pounds." She converts it so I understand. I am still learning all the new British terms for things.

"Ah" I smile. And we follow the nurse into a private room. Hermione sits on the examining table and looks at me as the nurse takes her temp and pulse and blood pressure.

"Ok the doctor will be with you shortly." The nurse leaves us. I move in front of Hermione and wrap my arms around her. She wraps her arms around my neck.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you too." She kisses me. "I'm so excited. We get a sonogram done and a picture taken." I smile.

"Yeah." There is a knock on the door and I step to Hermione's side and the doctor enters.

"Hello Hermione and how are you doing today?" she asks as she looks over the chart.

"I am wonderful."

"Good and what has brought you here to see me today?"

"I'm pregnant and I felt it be best if I came in to get some prenatal care." Hermione answers.

"Oh and you are positive you are pregnant not just late cause irregular periods are common until you turn 20."

"Yes I am sure doctor I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive plus I have been having some slight morning sickness and cravings."

"Ok well let me draw some blood and double check then we will go from there."

"Alright." The doctor leaves and comes back with a nurse to take some blood.

"It will only take a few minutes to test to see if you are indeed pregnant." The nurse says as they leave with the vial of blood.

Those are the longest minutes of my life. I am pacing back and forth. I already know Hermione is pregnant but it is still nerve wracking. Hermione just sits and smile at me. I look over at her she has her hand rubbing her stomach lightly. I stop pacing and move over next to her. I place my hand on hers and smile at her.

"It's alright"

"I know but I hate that we even have to do this. Just cause your father…" Hermione stops me.

"Don't go there." she giggles. I roll my eyes.

"Well I can't help it." Hermione smiles. Again a knock on the door and the doctor enter.

"Well Hermione you are indeed pregnant." The doctor looks at my position with my hand on Hermione's and how close we are. "Umm your blood work shows no abnormalities so I'd like you to lay back and lift your shirt so I can take a look."

"Ok" Hermione says and scoots back on the table and lies down. She raises her shirt exposing a small bump under her belly button. I look at her bump then into her eyes. I smile a huge grin. Hermione looks back and smiles just as big. The doctor moves the ultrasound cart over next to the bed and enters some information into the computer.

"Alright now this is going to be cold." The doctor squeezes some gel onto Hermione's stomach. Hermione shivers.

"Burr." Hermione says. I take her hand and squeeze it. The doc takes the imager and places it on Hermione's stomach. She moves it around until she finds the uterus.

"There we go. There's one of your ovaries." The doctor points to the screen. "And there is the top of your uterus." She looks it over. "And there is your baby." I look up at the screen and see my daughter for the first time. The doctor zooms in closer. I feel tears start to well in my eyes. "I'd say you are 12 weeks Hermione. I'm surprised you aren't showing a little more but everyone is different." I zone out on the doctor's voice as I see MY daughter move her arms and legs. I feel Hermione reach up and wipe away a tear from my cheek. I look down at her. She has tears in her eyes too.

"Love? You ok?" Hermione asks me.

"Huh? Yeah, I don't think I have been happier except of course when I first met you." I take Hermione's hand and kiss it.

"Ok…" the doctor pauses a moment then continues, "Now I want you to continue taking your prenatal vitamins and eating healthy foods. If you have any questions please call the office any time and a nurse will help you if I am unavailable. And as I understand you are away up north at a boarding school?"

"Yes I am and the nurse there knows a great deal but there is also village not far that as a wonderful doctor in case of any complications."

"Very good" the doctor stands and goes over to the printer and grabs a few pieces of paper. "Here you are." She hands Hermione the papers. They are pictures of our daughter. Hermione looks at them then hands them to me.

"Here hold these while I clean up." I smile widely and look at them. I know she is going to be as gorgeous as Hermione. I stroke my finger over the photo and smile softly at it.

"Love?" Hermione rests her hand on my shoulder.

"Hmm?" I look up from the photo.

"It's time to go." She smiles and caresses my cheek.

"Ok" I smile and take her hand in mine and we exit.

"So how did it go?" Jean asks as we enter the waiting room. I hand her the photos. "Oh my goodness. Look at the little angel." Jean grins. She then pulls us into a big hug. "My baby is having a baby." She pulls back and smiles as tears fall down her face. "Ok come on lets go she we can show your father and he'll stop being so childish." We all giggle and leave the office.

We get home a little while later and Rich is waiting for us with afternoon tea. I am slowly learning to enjoy tea. I have always kind of liked it but Hermione is showing me the finer points of tea. I pull out Hermione's chair for her as we all sit at the table. Once we are all seated I take out the photos and slide them in front of Rich. Not a word is spoken for what feels like an eternity.

Then we hear a sniffle from Rich. He looks up at Hermione and I and smiles.

"I am so sorry I doubted you poppet. It's just hard on a father when he hears his little girl is going to be a mum."

"I know father, but you still didn't have to act like a complete jerk."

"Hermione" Jean says.

"No Jean she is right, I was a jerk." He looks to jean then back to me and Hermione. "I'm sorry can you forgive me?"

"Oh, daddy." Hermione cries and gets up from her seat and goes and hugs her father. "Of course. I love you." She hugs him tight and kisses his cheek. He releases Hermione and looks to me.

"Anna, can you forgive me? I'm sorry about how I have acted and I am honored that you will be a part of our family. I have always wanted another daughter." I smile at him and go give him a small hug.

"Of course I forgive you grandpa." I smile at him and giggle. Hermione and her mother laugh too at the look on Rich's face when I call him grandpa.

"Well I guess I better get used to it because in 6 months I am going to be one." He smiles. We all return to our seats and finish our tea. I look over at the clock it is nearly 4 o'clock.

"Look at the time we should really get to The Leaky Cauldron and head back to Hogwarts." I say. Hermione checks her watch.

"You are right love." She finishes her tea and gets up. We all get up and get out things. I put the pictures in my jacket pocket and help Hermione get on her jacket.

"Thank you so much." I say as Rich walks us out to the car and Jean gets in and starts it up.

"We'll see you at winter holiday I hope?" Rich asks me.

"Yes sir that was my plan to come home and spend some time with Hermione, before I return to America for Christmas."

"Good I can't wait to see you again." We smile at each other and he gives me another quick hug.

Jean drives us to The Leaky Cauldron and we say our byes there. Hermione and I walk hand in hand to Gringgotts and we floo back to Hogwarts.
