Chapter 4

As Neville appeared alone at Longbottom manor, Hermione looked as if she was going to lose all control until he said "Harry's on his way he had to put the dragons back"

Hermione went from almost a total wrack to one very mad lady and ask Neville very nicely "what bloody dragons".

Just about then Prof. McGonagall appeared and told her that when the Potter and Black seal rings are put together they call dragons green and black dragons.

Hermione said calmly now "so Harry knew about this beforehand and didn't tell me"

Prof. McGonagall said no he didn't know about it at all until she and her clam joined him on the field.

Then Harry appeared and was waiting on a whack from Hermione but didn't get one just then. But he did get the best kiss he had got yet.

Then he got the whack.

The rest of the day was spent going over everything that had happened, even the part where he (Harry) knew that he wouldn't live. He looked up at Hermione and said "no matter how good you are one man can't beat hundreds"

Prof. McGonagall added "no one man can't but one man and his friends can".

Harry had that same look on his face and was about to say something when Neville cut him off "Harry we have been friends a long time and I have never called you a git but today you was a git" then he went on "all you had to do was ask for help and you would have got it".

Harry looked to Hermione and then to each one of them and said "thank you for coming to my aid today and for trying to show me that I don't have to always stand alone" and "Hermione thank you".

Hermione asked "what for, I wasn't there"

Harry said "yes you were in more ways than you could ever know"

Prof. McGonagall said "Lady Potter-Black battles are won in the heart first and as long as you're in his heart he will never lose".

Hermione took Harry hand but didn't say anything, but then Neville granny put a song on and Hermione asked Harry "do you remember this" (O Children) and started dancing around him it just took a second and he was in step with her. It didn't take long before everyone was dancing.

The party went on for hours with some other friends asked over as well as Luna's dad, who took up very quickly with Neville's grandmother, hum could be.

Harry, Hermione, Neville and Luna had took a break from the party and stepped outside, it was then that Luna told Harry and Hermione that they were going to have a baby.

They had only been married a month went across Hermione mind.

But there was so much that Harry and she wanted to do and there was plenty of time for a family.

Harry could see the tear in Hermione's eyes but there was nothing he could do about it right this moment.

After some hugs and pats on the back they all went back inside, but Harry could see Hermione's heart wasn't in the party any more so he made up something about the being long and how he would like to get his wife home so he could get the beating from her over with.

As they left Hermione put her arm around his and said "thanks for that I'm not sure how much longer I could stand it" Harry said it was hard for him to.

They appeared at Potter manor, all the work was done and it looked great. Kreacher met them at the door and asked if they would like something to eat or drink but both said no thank you we're going to bed.

Harry added "no wakeup call ok we're sleeping in"

Kreacher asked can we sleep in as well sir

Hermione turned and said yes you can Kreacher and tell the others.

Kreacher said thank you Mrs. Potter-Black and ran off to tell everyone.

The next morning Harry woke up looked at the clock next to the bed to see it was 8:30, he moved as fast as he could trying to not wake Hermione. He was showered and dressed in 5 minutes, then downstairs but he didn't have time to eat so he disappeared.

A moment later he appeared in a park across the street from a doctor's office, he wished he had told Hermione and had her come with him, but if it wasn't that would mean it was her and he could not take finding out like that. So he crossed the street, as he walked in the door a nurse asked if she could help him, Harry said "yes Harry Potter-Black to see Dr. Warlock".

The nurse said "have a seat and they will call you back in a minute" but before he could set down another nurse called his name from down the hallway as he got near her she said room 3 if you don't mind the Dr. will be there in a minute.

Harry was just about to enter room 3 when the Dr. took his arm and said "good news Mr. Potter-Black we can fix that little problem today if you have about an hour" Harry said "what are we waiting on"? The Dr. asked another nurse to take Harry back to the O.R. and get him ready.

Harry was talking to the nurse one second then waking up the next. The Doctor walked in and asked if he felt ok, Harry had felt better but said yes. Then the doctor said "you have to go before we can let you go" and handed Harry a cup. It took him a few minutes to get his legs to work and a few more before he could go.

As he handed the cup to a nurse she said "one quick test and if it's good you can go home after you get the doctor's orders and do's and don'ts and when your checkup will be. Ten minutes later she came back in and gave him a list of things to do and not to do and the time for his checkup.

As Harry took the list and card with his checkup time on it he asked if they could call him a cab, because he had walked down from him in-laws but didn't think he could walk back.

The nurse said they call a lot of cabs it wasn't a big deal Harry smiled and thanked her.

As the cab pulled up the Granger's office Harry seen them coming out, just in time he said to himself. As he crawled out of the cab he seen Mrs. Granger coming at a dead run to him, they helped him up and asked what had happened.

Harry told them about how Hermione and he had been trying to have a baby and how she was afraid that is was something wrong with her, but last week he had remembered that he had been hurt there during their fourth year and he had went to a Doctor to have it checked out last week and that the tests came back today. Then Harry closed his eyes and said "well when the Doctor said he could fix it today well she's my wife and I'll do whatever it takes to make her happy".

Mr. and Mrs. Granger looked at each other than to Harry and smiled then Mrs. Granger said "we'll take you home". Thanks said Harry and slowly walked with their help back into their office. Once inside, they each took out a portkey. Harry knew where they had got them Hermione had made them so her parents could come see them anytime.

Hermione was very upset when she got up to find only a note from Harry saying he had to do something and he would be back soon, four hours later still no Harry. Just as she was on her sixth trip to the window her mum appeared in the hall way and ask her to set down.

Hermione said "she was to upset with Harry to set down" that is when her mum said that her dad was bringing Harry in just a minute. Just then her dad and Harry appeared, Harry wasn't in too good of shape and it was hard for him to move very far.

After getting Harry to the loveseat, her mum took Hermione into the kitchen and told her that had happened and what he had told them. Harry was ready to tell Hermione everything but when they came back from the kitchen Harry could tell he didn't have to. Mrs. Granger came over to him and said "hope you feel better soon" Harry looked up and said "I do to for more reasons than one" then he thanked them again and told them they would drop by after the checkup next Friday to let them know. Mr. Granger said "if it turns out good I don't think we will be seeing you that weekend" and with a smile from both they were gone.

Hermione came over to set with him and asked "why didn't you tell me"? Harry looked away and said "I was afraid that it wasn't me and I just could take that", "I'm sorry for not telling you but I couldn't stand seeing you there if it wasn't me". She started to hug him then stopped and asked "can I hug you" with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. Harry said "I'll deal with any think to make you happy" and set up and hugged her, he tried to kiss her but she said "you know how you get when we kiss" Harry said "look no sex for a week sucks but no kissing ant going to happen" and spent the next 30 minutes kissing her.

This was the longest weeks in Harry's life, and it wasn't any better for Hermione. But Friday finely came and as the sun came up Hermione was waking Harry and not the way she had the last six days. She pushed him out of bed with a thud when he hit the floor.

Harry looked over the bed at her and said "honey they don't open till 8 and its JUST 6 NOW, Hermione I'm going to kick your butt". Hermione had that make my day look on her face so Harry got up and took a shower then got dressed. When he got downstairs Winky had eggs and toast ready, Hermione wasn't so rushed now but Harry could tell she really wanted to go. So he finished up and asked "if she was coming", and got his daily whack as she walked by.

As they crossed the street to the doctor's office Hermione was shaking a little then just before they went in she asked "what if this didn't work" Harry just said "well there is this other thing they can do", then added but we will cross that river when we get to it. A nurse met them at the door and handed Harry a cup and said "we need you to, well you know" Hermione took the cup and told Harry to "come on". Less than two minutes later Hermione handed the cup back to the nurse and told Harry to set down.

The nurse came back in about 45 minutes later and said "well Mr. and Mrs. Potter-Black we will need to see you again in a year to check for scaring and theirs a hotel the next block over", Hermione said "done got a room thanks" and grabbed Harry's arm and out the door they went.

Harry pulled Hermione to him and said "we've waited a week a few minutes more want kill us, your mum and dad are just down the street". Hermione smiled and said "ok but you're going to pay for making me wait longer" Harry smiled and said "the hotel is just passed their office".

The Grangers were happy to hear, but couldn't understand why they had stopped to tell them. They didn't care that much about the test all they wanted to know was when the baby was due.

A few weeks later Hermione came in slamming the doors as she passed them, Harry came running into the den to find Hermione knotted up on the loveseat, Harry asked "what's wrong" she looked at him like she could kill him then said "twins you git, bloody twins". The smile that was on his face was now gone he wasn't ready for that.
