The following morning Hermione awoke in the hospital wing still not quite sure why she was still a resident. Poppy had informed her when she awoke yesterday that Professor Snape had brought her to the hospital wing, after she had collapsed in front of him. Her memories were still blurry.

When she had awakened yesterday she was immediately checked over, given a full check up everything was fine until Poppy had brought the results back and began to read over them. Stopping suddenly in the middle. Hermione then had been given a sleeping potion that had kept her out until this morning. Maybe she had been given another, Hermione wasn't sure. She felt rested and calm. Finally she had caught up on the sleep that she had been deprived from the nightmares.

Suddenly Poppy came bustling out of her office, glancing up she found that Hermione was awake. A frown graced her face.

"Morning Miss. Granger" Poppy said

"Morning" Hermione spoke back

"How are you feeling today?" The nurse questioned

A shrug was her reply.

"Well let me floo the headmaster and tell him your awake. You've been excused from classes today." The nurse spoke as she went to her office and fire called the Headmaster.

Hermione sat and waited, she found no reason to try and ease drop on the conversation. There was nothing physically wrong with her; she was only here because she'd been having a hard time with things.

Moment's later Poppy came back out, calling for a house elf. She ordered a very bland breakfast for Hermione, which consisted of plain toast and tea with out sweetener.

Hermione had enough time to eat her breakfast in peace before the headmaster arrived. Hermione wasn't sure why but she had an off feeling about the headmaster visiting her especially, she hoped she wasn't in trouble.

"Ah… Miss Granger, it is good to see you up." The headmaster spoke as he walked to her bed. Hermione nodded as her only response.

Poppy came out upon hearing the headmaster's voice.

"Where's Severus?" She questioned

"I'm afraid he didn't take the news so well, but he should be her momentarily." The headmaster spoke his eyes twinkling with amusement. Seconds later the hospital wings doors were pushed open and Snape entered, his robes billowing in his wake.

He nodded curtly to all, but stayed silent. Looking as he always did, grumpy.

"Well Hermione yesterday during your check up we discovered some rather upsetting news. Poppy and I both felt it would be better told on a restful night sleep." The headmaster spoke.

Hermione nodded biting her lower lip slightly in worry.

"My dear girl there would be no easy way to say this, so I'll just be rather blunt. Your are pregnant." Poppy spoke swiftly

Hermione's eyes widened in shock, of all the things she had been expecting this was the last. She looked at Dumbledore he nodded his head as if confirming what Hermione had been told. She glanced at Professor Snape to find him coolly surveying her, the back at Poppy who seemed to be looking for any sign of hysteria.

"Hermione, it would seem the same incident that has been taking such a strain on your body has also given you a gift of sorts. Of course it is up to you and Severus what is to be done with the child. I understand that you are still in school, and that Severus is your teacher. I also understand that this was not something given willingly. It is however up to you to decide how to handle this situation." The headmaster spoke gently

"Miss Granger" Snape started formally

"I will abide by whatever choice you make. It is you that this event would effect the most. Whatever you decide I will except without question." He finished

She nodded still in shock. Pregnant. Snape. Were the only words going threw her mind.

"Hermione I understand you need time to process all that has happened. Most likely you would rather be alone, then surrounded by your fellow classmates. I have set a room up for you in between the Gryffindor house and the dungeons. You may invite whom ever you would wish, or you may keep to yourself. But no that wards have been set that if you try to harm yourself intentional or unintentionally Poppy, Severus and myself will be notified and sever action will be taken." The headmaster said his face expressed a humor while his voice was terribly serious.

The incredulous look that Hermione gave was seen by all.

"Miss Granger I am sure no one believes that you will harm yourself or your child, you are a strong willed individual. Regardless there have been strong ones then you whom have cracked under circumstances lighter than these." Professor Snape spoke

Hermione wasn't sure why but she got a warm feeling when Snape had told her she was strong. Though most likely it was not meant to be a compliment Hermione decided to take it as one. She nodded in understanding.

Poppy seeing as she wasn't going to go into hysteria anytime soon walked back towards her office, leaving the three in silence. She returned moments later with a stack of books for Hermione.

"Miss Granger, hear is some reading material for you to go over. It explains your choices, which are different from those in the muggle world. It explains all that you will go threw during your pregnancy. Wizard pregnancies are a little different than muggle ones." Poppy spoke as she set the books down on the nightstand beside Hermione's bed.

"I do believe that is mostly all that has to be said. Poppy and I will take our leave of you now. I'll leave Severus to take you to your rooms. I would also hope that you would set another time for you to discuss what happened that night. I will be informing your head of house of the current situation that has made its way to light." Dumbledore said

"I'll have a house elf take care of moving your things to your new suite and transfer the books I have given you. I don't want you to put more strain on your body then need be. Until you decided what you are going to do concerning your child I will have a house elf monitoring your eating and sleeping habits, so you don't inadvertently cause more damage." Poppy said with a small smile.

"More damage?" Hermione said her voice rough from the sobs from the night before.

"Oh I am sorry my dear, I meant to say that I've done the tests on you and your baby there was no damage but if you continue to not eat and hardly sleep it will effect your baby. It could result in a miscarriage." Poppy spoke

"Oh" Hermione said looking rather horrified.

"Well Miss Granger my door is always open if you need to talk. You are excused from classes until Poppy deems you healthy enough to attend." Said the headmaster

"Of course you will be able to get your homework assignments the same time as all the others in your class but there will not be a dead line." He added quickly once Hermione has gone pale at the thought of no classes to keep her busy.

With that the headmaster took his leave.

"Miss Granger feel free to come by if you are having any questions or concerns." Poppy spoke and gave Hermione a warm smile and turned away.

"Miss Granger I will wait for you outside of the hospital wing, while you get your self presentable." Professors Snape spoke and then turned swiftly on his heal and headed out the doors.
