Miss Granger,

There are some items that need to be discussed. I shall drop by around noon. If it is not convenient please send Bibby with an alternate time to meet.

Albus Dumbledore

The note was the first thing Hermione saw as she awoke from a surprisingly restful night. She also wondered what exactly the headmaster wanted to speak about since they had just spoken yesterday, but she'd find out soon enough. Looking at her watch she saw it was quarter to 11 so that meant she had enough time to get a shower and maybe try and stomach some toast.

After her shower she walked into her common room and saw Bibby had already brought her some plain toast kept warm under a heating charm. Though she didn't like the slavery of a house elf they were amazing and deserved so much credit.

Last night Harry and Ron had stayed long past curfew and had hidden under Harry's invisibility blanket, so not to get caught, and headed for the Gryffindor tower. They had a wonderful time just sitting and talking like they had done before erased memories, girl friends and such had come in the way. Hermione was almost able to imagine she wasn't pregnant with her Professor's child, and Lucius Malfoy hadn't visited her, and she wasn't behind in all her class, but instead ahead as she had always been. It had been a relaxing night to say the least.

With about a minute till noon a knock came at her door. Hermione moved from her place at her breakfast table, which disappeared when not in use, thanks to Bibby and headed for her common room door.

The sight that greeted her was as expected the headmaster.

"Hello Miss. Granger" Dumbledore said as he took Hermione's silent invitation into her rooms.

"Hello Professor Dumbledore, you note was rather unexpected, seeing as we just spoke yesterday." Hermione said as she made herself comfortable on her couch and Dumbledore on the chair.

"Yes my girl I can understand that, but I must admit yesterdays visit from Mr. Malfoy was enough to even throw me off balance for a time. So I completely forgot about what I had wanted to bring up with you the next time I saw you do forgive an old man for his stumbling" Dumbledore said with a twinkle bright in his eyes

"Of course headmaster it's no problem" Hermione said

"What I wanted to speak with you about is your classes. Sadly I don't feel we should put you back into regular classes with the students I fear that if Voldemort was to learn of the child there would be problems so I have spoken with each of your professors and they have agreed to tutor you in your class." Dumbledore said

"Tutor me sir? Does that mean I will not be getting my full education?" Hermione asked sounding very much like the 'old' Hermione.

"No my dear, but you must understand that as the pregnancy progresses you will not be able to spend as much time studying. You will need your rest. The teachers have agreed to teach you all the information you will need to pass your NEWTS, anything else you pick up will be your decision. Think of it as advanced placement." Dumbledore said

Hermione understood what he was saying; all of the pregnancy books she had read had hinted or indicated that further on in her pregnancy she was going to need more rest. At least she would still have all the knowledge she would need to pass her NEWTS, she could always read in her spare time.

"I understand headmaster" Hermione said with a small smile, though she would miss her regular classes with her friends she had to do what would be best for the baby and herself.

"Good, good child that's what I like to hear you will have the same schedule you had before we pulled you out. Sadly you will not have class everyday, just because we have to accommodate the teachers as well as yourself. I have a room prepared for the lessons, just because I don't want more people knowing where your room is than necessary." Dumbledore said

Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Sometime tomorrow a door will show up right over there" he said pointing to a place near the fire place.

"It will only allow you to go down and you to come up, know one else, for your safety." Dumbledore said

Hermione nodded liking that idea.

"Now onto a more touchy subject Professor Snape has agreed to tutor you in potions if you agree, if not I will teach them to you myself. There will be know hard feelings if you do not feel comfortable with Professor Snape teaching you" Dumbledore said

Hermione didn't know how she felt about that the indecision must have shown on her face because Dumbledore said something.

"My dear under no circumstances do you have to come up with a decision today. Your class will not begin until next week and it is only Tuesday. Do not fret child, take your time and make the right decision." Dumbledore said

Hermione nodded knowing she needed to think about having Snape as her Professor.

"Well my dear girl I feel as though I should let you think things over. Feel free to call upon me threw Bibby when you reach your decision." Dumbledore said while standing up and walking towards the door.

"Good bye headmaster; thank you for coming" Hermione said as she watched the headmaster left her rooms, and listened as the portrait door shut.

Hermione wasn't sure what to think, she wasn't sure if she was ready to face Professor Snape again.

Though she knew they had a lot of issues they had to cover that didn't pertain to her NEWTS testing. Having him tutor her might help her to become more comfortable around him, which would definitely help in the grand scheme of things.

She just wasn't sure if she could handle it, the last time they had talked, she exploded on him about every little pent of thing. Though she still did feel bad about that, she wasn't sorry she said it, it had to be said.

She stood up and went to grab a sheet of paper and a pen, when she didn't have to she preferred using muggle writing units over wizarding. She decided to make a pro's and con's list about him teaching her.

Pro's-

She'd get to know him,

She'd see what kind of man he was,

If he'd make a good father,

She wouldn't be so uncomfortable around him,

It would help in the long run of her child's life if they could get along

If he wanted children

Maybe she could find out his deepest desire that everyone seems to know but her

Con's-

She'd be embarrassed,

She'd be uncomfortable

He could turn out to be a git

Well if she went solely on her list then he'd be her teacher. But she didn't want to make a knee jerk reaction so she'd have to sleep on it.
