I do not own anything of the Harry potter empire...

I do own this plot, I am still deciding if that's a good or a bad thing...

This takes place a couple of weeks after the previous chapter. (about 3 to 4 weeks)

Hermoine's POV

" Harry stop it!" Ginny yelled.

" Really Harry, you need some new guy friends. Ever since Ron took that job at the ministry instead of coming back for a seventh year with us you've been constantly hanging around Ginny and me. How are we supposed to talk girl talk now." I giggled.

" Yes Harry, how are we supposed to talk about our menstrual cramps and periods and make-up now?" Ginny giggled too, as she understood what I was getting at.

Harry face was a bright glowing red by now and as he excused himself quickly, Ginny and I fell into a fit of giggles.

" Amazing 'Mione! How did you come up with that?" She grinned.

" Well I actually need to talk to you about something that I believe falls under girl talk." I replied softly.

" 'Mione, what's wrong?" Ginny asked.

" Come with me."

"Where?"

" Your room."

Ginny looked confused but followed anyway.

After checking if we were alone, she turned to me.

" You didn't sleep with Malfoy again did you?"

"No! Ginny!"

"Well last time you hoisted me up to my room like this and told me we had to talk, you slept with Malfoy so excuse me for assuming something like that." She said grinning slightly.

" Well I didn't this time!"

" Calm down 'mione, just tell me what you wanted to talk about."

" I've been feeling kind of sick lately and I haven't had my period last month and I was wondering if you knew what it could be because I've searched ' Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions' (this is a real book in the wizarding world of Harry Potter) but I can't find anything that covers all the symptoms." I sighed.

" 'Mione darling, do you mind if I try a spell?"

" No, if it helps us to a solution then go ahead. You're one of the cleverest witches I know Ginny, I trust you."

She held the tip of her wand to my stomach and whispered "Examino Praegnas". ( Not a real spell, I just made it up with some latin words)

The tip of her wand slowly started to glow with a green light.

" Oh 'Mione..." She whispered.

" What? What's wrong Ginny?"

" You're not sick, you're pregnant."

" No silly, you can't be pregnant without having sex... Oh no.. No Ginny, you have to try it again , maybe you did the spell wrong. I mean it was just one time and..."

" Hermione! Stop rambling! You're going to have to tell Malfoy.."

"I'm not telling him!"

"But he's the father 'Mione!"

" I don't care, I don't want him or his family involved with my child!"

"So you're keeping it?"

"Off course, I wouldn't think of taking away his or her chance of life." I replied while rubbing my stomach.

Ginny smiled at this small gesture.

" I still think you should tell him." She whispered.

" Ginny, he's a death-eater!"

"Ex-death-eater."

"And his father is locked up in azkaban."

"You should be glad about that, it's better then him being around your child."

"And his mother.."

"His mother turned out to be a rather decent woman, Hermione. She understands what you do to protect your family. They turned to the light side remember."

"Yes, when it was obvious their side was losing." I drawled.

"They would've been killed if they changed sides before."

"And then I haven't talked about the years of taunting and name-calling yet."

"Well... Ok, I can't argue with that one but still... You've gotten along pretty well the last few weeks haven't you?"

"Maybe... but I'm still not telling him! I'm not telling anyone. Ginny you have to promise me, you won't tell anyone..."

" I won't, But they'll notice eventually 'Mione."

" But it will give me time to think about it."

"What about Harry?"

"I'll tell Harry myself.."

"And if anybody asks who the father is?"

"I'll tell them it's Harry, everybody know I spent a lot of time with Harry and Ron."

"Uhm, 'Mione.."

" Oh sorry Ginny, Uhm I'll tell them it's Ron then. We had that little thing over the summer so.."

"'Mione, I don't think Lavender would like that. She and Ron have been dating again remember."

" Oh by Godric, I'll just have to tell them I don't know or something."

"Tell them you cant tell because it would bring you and the baby in danger."

" Yes! Perfect! " I smiled. " Thank you Ginny!"

I entered the common room silently again, weeks after that night I had another reason to avoid him again.

I had come back from a long talk with Ginny and Harry, Harry actually took the news fairly well.

* Flashback *

We cornered Harry in the Common room and told him we needed to talk.

After we entered the room of requirement, ironic isn't it, I immediatly dropped the bomb.

" Harry, I'm pregnant."

" 'Mione, are you sure?"

" Yes, Ginny did this spell and well, I kind of know when it happened..."

"Is it Ron's? I know you guys had a thing over summer break but I don't know if you had..."

"It's not Ron's.."

"Do you know who the father is?"

I looked at Ginny and contemplated if I should tell him but this is Harry, he's been with me through everything.

" It's Malfoy.." I whispered.

" You're dating Malfoy?"

" No, we had a one-night-stand after the ball."

"Hermoine, how could you. I mean.. Merlin... Does he know?"

" No, I'm not going to tell him and neither are you."

" I won't 'Mione. I'll support you, whatever decision you make I'll be here."

* End Flashback *

On my way back I had made a detour through the library for some books on the subject, I wondered if a magical pregnancy was any different from a muggle pregnancy. I was carrying them close to my chest as I hurried to my room, praying that no one saw me.

I hurried past the sofa where Malfoy was reading a book and locked myself in my room.

These are going to be some though months...

At the rate I'm going, I think I'll be able to post a chapter ever 2-4 days...

Don't hate me if it takes a little longer sometimes :D

Thank you for reading and uhm.. I still LOVE your reviews :D

Happy New year to everyone! May all your wishes come true in 2011 !
