I kept waking up from nightmares and had a feeling that Harry was having nightmares too.

"I stood waiting in a train station waiting for my parents, the people around me are different, Harry stood next to me as did Hermione, Ron, Alex, Draco, Ginny and Cho. Suddenly a green light flashed and my parents car exploded. I turned to find Cho choking Hermione while Both Harry, and Ron were being held by an invisible force and couldn't do anything. Suddenly a black cloaked figure appeared and killed Draco then Ginny. I was helpless and couldn't do anything but watch. I couldn't move and I saw Ron die and looked to see Hermione's lifeless body lying on the ground and Cho was now heading for a frighten and sorrowful looking Harry. 'NOOOO!' I screamed as there was yet another green flash." My eyes bolted open and I looked around me. Ron was snoring at my feet, while Harry next to me had rolled over and was now facing me and had his arm resting across my shoulders. His face looked relaxed but I could see the tracks of tears on his face. 'Poor Harry,' I thought as I looked at him. After a moment I realized that the sun was just coming up. 'Well it's not like I'm going to get any more sleep, but I don't want to wake these two.' With that thought I slowly moved Harry's arm and slipped off the bed successfully, both boys were still sleeping. I walked out of the room and started walking around the deserted halls of Hogwarts. I made my way outside. Once outside I could see the after effect of the battle the day before. Next to Hagrid's hut there was a huge crater where lush green grass use to be. Other then that there wasn't much difference from before. I was sure that the students would be asking questions. I just stood there thinking of how yesterday had gone.

'HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME!' I suddenly heard.

'Harry Ron?' I asked but they were still asleep.

'Well you were the one that called upon me,' a voice replied.

'I was reading it! Besides it was Xelloss's fault!' the first voice replied and it sounded familiar but I wasn't getting my hopes up yet.

'Ahh yes Xelloss, I must say that was a nice throw,' the second voice said.

'Humph.'

'Well are you done glaring at me yet?'

'No, you still haven't answered me!'

'Why Miss Granger I thought you would have figured it out,' the second said.

'Hermione!' I called.

'Yes,' she said then started talking to the other voice again. 'How dare you go and kiss my best friend,'

'Yes, but it was in your body,' the other replied.

'THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!' Hermione yelled.

'Huh what are you talking about? I don't recall you kissing anyone,' I asked.

'She is talking about that cute Potter boy,' the second voice said while I could feel Hermione glaring at the person.

'Ahh I see. Well with two best friends that are boys I just wasn't sure… Hey wait does that mean that you are…' I started.

'Yes,'

'It's the Lord of Nightmares,' Hermione grumped.

'Would you stop that, I'm sending you back,' Lord of Nightmares said then added 'because I can't have you staying here and burning a hole in everything you look at.'

'Wait what do you mean that you are sending her back?' I asked.

'Exactly what I said,' Lord of Nightmares said as she once again yelled at Hermione to stop glaring at her, while Hermione just yelled back. I was getting a headache and was hoping that Harry and Ron weren't getting any of it, 'Anyway miss, you can get Hermione over here in the bushes. And for now I'm gone,' Lord of Nightmares said and I could feel her leave but Hermione was still yelling at her. I just looked in the bushes. At first I didn't see anything and I thought that the Lord of Nightmares was joking but a small movement caught my eye. There was a little baby, a year old to be exact sitting there still glaring at the sky.

"Hermione?" I asked as I looked at the child. It had fluffy brown hair and a brown eyes. She was wearing a dark green shirt.

'Yes, it's me,' Hermione grumped.

"Well it could be worse," I said as I knelt down and picked her up.

'Just how could it be worse!' Hermione yelled.

'You could be dead!' I replied as I wrapped her up in the blanket that she had been sitting on.

'Uh…well that's true but now I'll…. Uh never mind,' she said blushing slightly.

'You never know,' we heard Lord of Nightmares suddenly say.

"Come on Hermione we have to get you back into the castle before the rest of the place wakes up," I said as I hurried back inside. There were already a few students up and walking towards the Great Hall. I hid in the shadows and waited for them to pass before I headed back the way I had came earlier that morning. I really wasn't in the mood to try and explain why I was carrying a baby.

'Amber, why are your eyes red? Didn't you sleep last night?' Hermione asked me. I gave her a looked.

'No, Hermione I was just a little upset that someone wasn't around any more,' I told her.

'What did something happen to…' she started but I cut her off.

'You Hermione! Everyone thinks you're dead. Poor Harry he's going to have a heart attack. He was crying so much and wouldn't let go of you,' I told her.

'Oh, but he is alright?' she asked.

"He will be," I said as I came up to the same wall. I knocked on it and said what McGonagall said the night before, I was slightly surprised that I remembered it. "Especially now that you are alive," I said as I opened the door and walked into the room. It looked like Harry and Ron were still asleep but at a second glance I could see that they weren't, they were talking.

"Hi boys," I said smiling.

"Why are you in a good mood?" Ron asked me while Harry's gaze fell to my arms.

"Uh Amber what are you carrying?" he asked.

"Uh a surprise," I said as I walked over to them and sat in between them giving them a good view of baby Hermione.

"What? Why do you have a baby?" Ron asked.

"Because it fell out of the sky and it's not really a baby. Boys I suggest you say hello to," I started but was cut off by Harry.

"Hermione! But how!" he said shocked.

"Apparently the Lord of Nightmares likes to play jokes," I said as they looked at Hermione.

"You can say that again," Xelloss said appearing in front of us.

"You know you are going to give someone a heart attack one of these days," Ron grumped.

Xelloss just smiled before talking again. "I'll have to inform Dumbledore about this, it shall be an interesting while," he said before disappearing again. Harry and I just sighed as he did.

"Mione are you ok?" Harry asked her as he raised his hand and pushed back some of her brown curls.

'Other then being in a year old body, yes,' Hermione grumped.

"It's really her isn't it!" Ron said just as he fainted.

"Gee, I guess it was to much for him. Well any way here Harry," I said as I handed her to him.

"But Amber I've never held a child in my life," Harry slightly protested.

"Oh it's not that hard, here," I said putting Hermione into his arms and stood.

"Uh…but where are you going Amber?" Harry asked stiffly holding Hermione.

"To take a shower," I said disappearing into the bathroom leaving Harry with and unconscious Ron and a baby Hermione.

After a nice long shower I came back out to see Ron was now up and the two boys were talking while Harry had Hermione in his lap. He had a book also on his lap, Hermione was reading it.

"You know Hermione you might not want to do that when you are in front of anyone else," I said as I was still drying my hair with a towel. Some one had put some our clothes in the bathroom. I was only slightly shocked as this was Hogwarts and the teachers had put us there. They could have easily asked a house elf to bring us clothes.

"Yeah well at least it isn't Hogwarts; a history," Ron half complained. I just smiled at them standing in front of them. I then saw the book that she was reading.

"Hey Hermione, since when do you read my books?" I asked, kneeling down.

'Uhh…I thought it would be a good read?' Hermione replied blushing.

'Well it is, but don't let those two know you're reading a romance,' I told her smiling.

"So what book is Mione reading? She wouldn't tell me," Harry said.

"An interesting one, you guys wouldn't like it," I said not looking at them.

"I'm sorry to inform you guys but you will have to attend classes today," McGonagall said as she entered the room then added. "For some reason Dumbledore thinks you are up to it. Even though I don't agree with this."

"Yes professor, we'll be down," I said she just looked at us, not even giving the baby a second look as she walked out of the room.

'Oh no! I won't be able to go to my class! You guys have divinations and I don't!' Hermione said in a panic.

"You're a baby and you're worried about classes!" Ron said surprised.

'Yes, I still need to learn,' Hermione said.

"Well we'll worry about that later, we need to get to class," Harry said as he picked up Hermione and handed her to me.

"I can't carry Hermione and all of my stuff," I said with Hermione in my arms.

"I'll carry your books," Harry said.

"Uh Guys! Doesn't it worry you a little bit that you are carrying a baby to classes?" Ron said.

"Well a little but we can't leave her here. If she is quite then hopefully no one will notice," I said.

"McGonagall didn't," Harry pointed out.

"Yeah now come on, we need to get something to eat before we go to class," I said as I stood with Hermione in my arms. Ron and Harry quickly picked up everything and we headed out of the room. As we neared the Great Hall though I started getting second thoughts. 'Uh guys on second thought you guys get food while Hermione and I will just go to class,' I told them. At first they just looked at me funny then nodded and walked into the Great Hall while I walked towards our first class.

'We'll bring you some food,' Ron said.

'Thanks,' I said as I stood in front of the class room.

'So you guys got rid of Morty?' Hermione asked.

'Yeah, kicked his butt. He ticked us off,' I said.

'How did he ticked you guys off? It wasn't because I had well uh…' Hermione started.

'Well partly, he started making fun of you and called you a mudblood,' I said.

'He did?' Hermione replied.

'Yeah and we uh kind of called him an inbreeding git for that,' I told her smiling at the memory.

'YOU WHAT?' Hermione asked while I winched.

'We called Morty an inbreeding git,' I said just as Seamus walked up to us.

"Amber, why weren't you in the common room last night, I wanted to talk to you," he said not noticing that I was holding a child thank goodness.

"Uh…hasn't Dumbledore said anything?" I asked.

"The only thing that Dumbledore has said is that we don't have Divinations for the rest of the year. Something happened to the class room," he said. I just looked down and silently thanked Dumbledore.

"Amber!?" Draco suddenly questioned. I looked up and past Seamus to find Draco standing there alone shocked look in his eyes.

"Draco," I replied as I looked at him. I noticed that his hands was bandaged.

"Why don't you leave her alone," Seamus asked turning towards him.

"Draco what happened?" I asked. 'yeah what happened?' I heard Hermione ask.

"Uh…it was burned from uh," Draco said.

"From that!? But I thought that you would have gotten behind the teachers!" I said almost dropping Hermione.

'Amber don't drop me please!' she said, and I wrapped my other arm around her and pulled her close as she had a death grip on my robe.

"Well Weasley wouldn't move! I barely was able to but a shield up! You three were crazy!" he yelled back at me.

"Well it got the job done! Or would you rather have him still running around!" I yelled back forgetting that Seamus was there.

"No I wouldn't but still…uh Amber what are you carrying?" Draco asked while Hermione and Seamus confused.

"What are you two talking about?" Seamus asked before I could answer Draco's question. Hermione was also now wanting to know.

"Dragon slave," I said, while Hermione understood Seamus didn't.

"You are avoiding my question Amber," Draco stated dryly looking directly at me.

"Fine you want to know, this is what I'm holding," I said as I held Hermione out clearly.

"What in Merlin's beard is that!" Draco yelled.

"What do you think it is! Even you aren't that daft!" I replied, while Seamus was in shock.

"I know what it is!" Draco said as he gave Hermione's cheek a poke.

"Gee... and here I thought I would have to spell it out for you," I said just as Draco poked her again like he was trying to see if she was real. He paid for his foolishness though.

"I want to know OWCH! It bit me!" he yelled as he pulled his hand back.

'ooo I've wanted to do that for so long. But yuck now I have to wash my mouth out,' Hermione said while I just laughed lightly.

"What do you expect poking it like it was a stuffed animal," Seamus said.

"You know it's not an it!" I said.

"Hey Amber here is some toast for you," Harry said coming up to me. "Sorry though I didn't bring any for…uh…" he stopped as he realized that there was a small group around him. I hadn't even notice that more then just Seamus and Draco were there.

'It's alright Harry I'm not hungry at the moment, Draco left a bad taste in my mouth,' Hermione told him.

'You know we really have to find a name for her while she is a baby,' Ron said.

"Thanks, Harry," I said as I took the toast before turning to Draco. "You deserve it Draco."

"Yeah well what did I ever do to it?" he questioned looking at his hurt finger.

"When I have an afternoon I'll tell you," I said as I slipped into the class room with Harry and Ron on my heels.

'We need to think up an excuse for why I have this child with me. It's obviously not mine,' I told Harry and Ron as we sat down.

'Hum….'

'I've got a name, how about Rose?' Ron said after we sat thinking for a minute.

'Sounds good to me, how about you Mione?' Harry said.

'I like it,' Hermione said.

'Well we have that figured out, now how about a excuse,' I said.

'Well you could always say that is a friend of yours,' Ron said.

'Oh yeah like people would believe that,' I said.

'Well you could always say that it is a friends child and they asked you to watch her for a while,' Harry said while Ron, Hermione and I just gave him a look.

"What?" he asked.

"We have to think of something," I said as more students filed in.

'Uh what about, this is what a lot of the commotion was about yesterday and Dumbledore placed her into our care,' I said as Flitwick walked in.

'That will work,' Ron said.

'Hopefully,' Harry said.

"Ahh…it's good to see you guys up," Flitwick said to us as he passed by. Class went by normally and I did as much as I could with Hermione with me who was wanting to take my wand and do the magic too.

"Miss, Lanobi, I would like to talk to you before you leave," Flitwick said as we were getting ready to leave.

"Here take her," I whisper to Ron.

"Ok," he said holding out his arms to take her but she wouldn't go. She had a death grip on me.

"Well never mind, just take my books will you?" I said after a moment Ron just nodded and said that Harry and he would wait outside for me.

"Yes Professor," I said as I walked up to Flitwick.

"Dumbledore would like to have word with you," Flitwick said as Dumbledore walked out of the shadows.

"Good morning Miss Lanobi, Xelloss has informed me of the situation and I hope that you will take good care of this little one. All of the teachers have been informed that you have a child with you and are not to bug you about it. I'm sure you have an explanation for your classmates. It is good to see you again Miss Granger and let's hope that you grow up soon, or you may have to attend Hogwarts again," Dumbledore said smiling.

"Yes Professor," I said and turned to leave. Dumbledore just smiled and nodded before turning and speaking with Flitwick.

"Oh yes, Miss Lanobi, as I know Miss Granger, would you please take her to her class, since you don't have Divinations. You can switch on and off with Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore said as I near the door. I just nodded that I would then left the room.

"Well that solves that problem," I muttered as I joined Harry and Ron outside.

"What did Flitwick want?" Ron asked.

"Flikwick didn't want anything it was Dumbledore. He knows and the teachers have been asked to leave us alone. Plus one of us is going to have to take Hermione to her class seeing that we don't have Divinations any more," I said then added. "Harry could you take Rose?"

"Yeah," Harry replied and we switched, he took Hermione/Rose, and I took his books as Ron was carrying mine. With that we headed off to our next class and barely made it. We made it all the way through the morning classes without many people asking questions but now it was lunch time and we had to eat. I again was carrying Hermione as she wouldn't go to Ron, only to Harry or me. As we walked into the great hall people were already speculating that Hermione went missing and that this was her and Harry's child. That she had it during the summer. Harry and I just groaned while Ron was laughing. 'Me have a child!!!! Just how old do they think that I am?! Come on how dense can people get,' Hermione complained to me as we ate lunch.

"So, where is Hermione, Harry? Did she run off and leave you with your child?" some kid asked.

"No," Harry replied as it was the only thing he could reply.

"Then where is Hermione?" the kid asked. Ron, Harry and I just looked at each other then down to Hermione.

"Uh…she is sick," I finally said.

'Yeah so sick she shrunk,' Ron said while Hermione glared and kicked him.

"Really? Why weren't you guys in the dorms last night?" he asked.

"Well it's good to see you four feeling better. Lina would like to talk to you after classes today," Amelia said cheerfully.

"Ok," we said ignoring the other question. Amelia just nodded then walked off. We on the other hand tried to eat but found it difficult when every to seconds someone else was asking a question.

"I wonder what that crater is from, and why we don't have divinations for the rest of the year," Lavender said pouting.

"Maybe it was an accident?" Dean suggested.

"You weren't trying a new spell were you Neville?" Seamus asked. Neville just shook his head.

"Yeah an accident that really needed to happen 14 years ago," Harry said.

"Yep," Hermione, Ron and I said.

"What!?" everyone around us yelled.

"Oops," we all said while Hermione just sat there, while everyone was silent.

"I don't know how Snape but it is true," McGonagall said.

"It is finally over, if only…" Snape started but stopped as he realized that almost everyone at Gryffindor table was looking at them. He glared at everyone, which sent Gryffindor students back to their lunch.

'I wonder if he is thinking of Hermione. He wasn't all that happy that she had died, well sort of,' Ron said.

'Probably,' I said.

'Snape was upset?' Harry and Hermione questioned. Both Ron and I nodded.

"Weird," Harry said startling Neville who was sitting next to him.

"What was weird?" Neville asked.

"Oh just something I was thinking about," Harry covered lamely. Neville took the excuse and started chatting with Dean as lunch was finishing. The rest of the day was rather uneventful well as uneventful as it could get with either Harry or I carrying a baby around. People were still wanting to know what had happened and were asking us millions of questions. A few we answered but some we just ignored.

At the moment I was taking notes for Hermione in her class while Ron and Harry were having fun with their free hour without Trelawney.

"Are you sure that Miss Granger will get these notes? It would be better if she was here," the teacher said.

"Don't worry Professor she will and she'll do her regular best," I told him as I was trying to figure out how to carry Hermione/Rose and the books that I had when Harry and Ron appeared at the door.

"Have a good hour?" I asked.

"Yep," they replied.

'Did you enjoy class Mione?' Harry asked.

'Yeah it was good, and Amber takes great notes!' Hermione replied smiling brightly.

"Uh… Miss Lanobi will you be attending the classes for Miss Granger?"

"Well, probably half of the time Harry will do a few times with Rose," I replied as Ron picked up the books sitting on the desk.

"You know I really must say that is the quietest baby I've ever seen. Well have a good day," the professor said. Ron, Harry and I carrying Rose just nodded and walked out of the room. We had a little bit before dinner so we dropped our stuff off at the room before heading to dinner. Harry was now carrying Hermione/Rose as Ron and I walked on either side of him. Harry and Ron were talking about Quidditch as Hermione and I were talking about the book she had been reading earlier.
