So let me know if you're still reading.

"My dear Minerva what can I do for you on this wondrous night?" Albus Dumbledore asked sitting back in his desk chair with a smile.
"I've just returned from a meeting with Miss. Granger" Minerva said taking a seat at the headmaster's desk.
"Oh" the headmaster said intrigue filling his features.
"Not to worry, nothing is amiss but Miss. Granger did bring up the subject of becoming an apprentice to one of the teachers after her NEWTS are completed." Minerva said reaching for the tea that magically appeared as usual when she was in his office.
"Hmm I see, what are your thoughts on the subject my dear?" Albus asked looking thoughtful.
"I see no reason to deny her request, except for Severus." Minerva replied before taking a sip of her tea.
"Yes that could problematic" Albus said in a far off voice.
"I'm not sure I'd even know how to rectify the situation, because the dear girl doesn't have all her memories, and once she does the final verdict will be up to her" she spoke with a tense look filling her face making her seem older than she was.
Silence filled the room as the greatest wizard the world had ever seen pondered the situation.
"I do believe that we will reserve any decision until the time is right. I would never turn away a student, whether present or former. Severus is an irreplaceable asset to the order and a brilliant mind that few can match let alone beat. Miss. Granger is, despite present circumstances a witch on her way to the history books, but I will not make a decision until I see how the progress with each other" Dumbledore expressed his brilliant mind with his words.
"I for one agree that it would be best not to tell Miss. Granger that it depends on her relationship with Severus. I feel the strain of knowing that her chance depend on her and Severus relationship would cause strain on there already thin relationship, but what will you do if they don't progress accordingly?" Minerva asked her voice higher than normal due to the worry she felt growing inside her.
"As I said I would never turn away a student, if Severus and Miss. Granger's feeling towards each other do not progress as I hope they shall then I will make other arrangements for her. I will not leave her to the wolves. I had already thought of this for I fear that Voldemort will learn of her conception and wish to harm her and her child" Albus replied his voice showing strain.
"I understand your fear, and agree but shouldn't we explain that to Miss. Granger so she won't place herself in any risky situations?" Minerva inquired gently.
"Perhaps but at this moment I am content to simply let nature take its course I still worry about Miss. Grangers mental state, for it is on the edge of a cliff she will either cope accordingly and step back from the edge, or lose her balance and fall, becoming lost to us all" Albus said his voice grave.
"Do you really think her that weak Albus?" Minerva asked anger in her tone.
"Weak, no, never but her life has done turn over and everything she's ever known has changed, and nothing will ever be the same. Though I do believe that if anyone can come out through all of this standing it will be Miss. Granger." Albus said a twinkle in his eye.
"I do believe that your right, Albus as much as I had hoped for a instant decision I realize that there are to many unknown variables to make a correct decision when the future is unknown" Minerva said with a sight as she rubbed her temples from stress as she stood up to take her leave.
"Fear not my dear everything will progress as it's meant to" Albus said for his parting words.
Though she knew Albus was right it didn't hinder her worrying in the least how could you not worry with all that was happening each day in the world.

The night hadn't been long enough for Severus, none of them were as he rolled over debating whether or not he wanted to stay in bed for a few more minutes or awake fully for the hellish day that was in store for him he bumped something warm.
Sitting up quickly he took in the sight a women was in his private rooms. Had he done anything last night? No he'd headed straight to bed after working on his lesson plans for Miss. Grangers, tutoring sessions.
He was about to jump out of bed and fire call Lucius to see what kind of prank this way and why he had felt the need to pull it when the body next to his turned and began to awake. What he saw made his jaw drop.
Miss. Granger was in his private bed chamber, heavily pregnant with their child
"Morning love, how did you sleep?" The heavily pregnant Hermione asked as she maneuvered her hand to caress his arm.
"Fine and yourself?" Severus asked not sure what was happening she hadn't been this far along days ago.
"Wonderful that backrub you gave me last night helped me sleep better than I have since before I was pregnant" Hermione said as she sat up and gave him a long kiss.
Severus was stunned into silence.
"I love you" Hermione said snuggling towards his body forcing him to lay back down, while laying her head on his chest her finger moving in gentle patterns along his skin.
"And I always will" Hermione said planting a kiss on his chest with a smile, looking up at him with love and adoration clear in her eyes.
Gasping sat up quickly, realizing that it was only a dream a very wrong dream. Miss Granger was his student and though she was pregnant with his child that in know way made it alright to have thoughts of that nature about her.
He slowly laid back down trying to calm his heart rate down to its normal pace.
While he lay there alone trying to regain his sanity he couldn't help but realize just how lonely his rooms felt now that the dream was over.
