Chapter Twenty: Diagon Alley

Hermione walked out of the emerald flames of into a room full of people. When she looked around she noticed that she was in the Leaky Cauldron. A few seconds later Harry, Ron, and Seth came out of the fire.

"Come here, Seth." Hermione said. Ron handed Seth over to Hermione.

All of them walked into the back of the pub and came face to face with a brick wall. Harry grabbed his wand and tapped the Wall and it open into a passageway.

"Ok, I need to get Seth some baby clothes. Ron can you get my school supplies?" Hermione asked.

"Sure, Mione." Ron said. "I'll tell mum where you went."

"Thanks." Hermione said as she walked off down the street. She then came up on a little store for babies. She walked in and looked around, she noticed that she was the only teenager in the store with a baby. She walked around and saw a baby suit in the form of Hogwarts robes.

"This is so cute." She told herself, "Here, Gryffindor." She picked the suit that had the Gryffindor pendant on it. She grabbed a few other clothes. She walked up to the cashier and bought the clothes.

When Hermione walked out of the store she ran into Pansy Parkinson and a few other Slytherin girls.

"Look girls its the school slut." Pansy said and all of the other girls started to laugh and Pansy smiled as she walked by Hermione.

Hermione had tears in her eyes. She walked down the street and found the Weasley's and Harry.

"What's wrong, Mione?" Harry asked.

"Nothing," Hermione answered as she wiped the tears out of her eyes.

"Let me take Seth for you, dear." Mrs. Weasley suggested. Hermione handed Seth to Mrs. Weasley and sat down at a table, they were in an ice cream store.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley."

"It's no trouble really, i have seven children and don't forget I had to raise Fred and George." Mrs. Weasley said, "I'll order for everyone."

Harry and Ron sat down at the table with Hermione as Mrs. Weasley walked off.

"Now what was the matter?" Harry asked.

"Nothing, really."

"No, i saw the tears." Harry said.

"Well, Pansy walked up and she...she called me a slut." Hermione explained.

"Don't listen to her. Its not your fault that you had Seth, you were raped. She is the slut anyway, everybody knows about her and Draco. I'm surprised she hasn't had his baby yet." Harry comforted Hermione.

A smile formed on Hermione's face.

Mrs. Weasley walked back over to the three and gave them the ice cream and then sat down and made funny faces with Seth.

"This year is going to be horrible." Hermione said.

"Don't say that." said Harry, "Be positive."

"I am positive that its going to be horrible. I have N.E.W.T.s, other school work, and I have to take care of Seth. Oh, and don't forget about Voldemort." Hermione listed.

"You can do it, Hermione." Ron said, "You have taken lots of classes before, remember third year."

"Yes, but now I have a child to take care of, you've never taken care of a baby Ronald, they demand a lot of attention and they need to be changed constantly." Hermione explained.

"Well with Harry and my help you can do it."

"You two are the best." Hermione said as she hugged them.

"We know." Ron joked.

Hermione was suddenly happy again, she hadn't felt this way in five months. She was finally getting to be a teenage girl again and not a mother.

"Well, I think we should be getting back home." Mrs. Weasley said, "Are you two staying with us?" She asked Hermione and Harry.

"Yes ma'am." They answered at the same time.

"Good." Mrs. Weasley picked up Seth. "Can you all cary the supplies and I will carry Seth."

Hermione, Harry, and Ron gathered the supplies and walked with Mrs. Weasley back to the Leaky Cauldron and then they Flooed back to the Burrow.

~At The Burrow~

Mrs. Weasley walked through the fire and into the living room area followed by Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Mrs. Weasley handed Seth to Hermione and took all the suplies up to the bedrooms.

Hermione sat down on the couch and sat Seth beside her and conjured his baby bag. She opened it and searched through it and finally found a bottle after searching for five minutes, due to the undectectable exstending charm she had put on it.

"Ronald, can you heat this up for me?" Hermione asked.

"Sure." Ron answered and he took the bottle of milk and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, Seth." Harry said as he walked over and sat down on the couch beside him.

Seth smiled and made a giggling sound, a sign that he liked Harry. Hermione smiled as Seth began to play with Harry. Ron walked back in and handed the bottle to Hermione.

"Thanks." She said to Ron. Hermione took the cap off tipped it upside down over her arm and waited for a drop to fall onto her skin and the it did.

"Perfect." She said and then handed it to Seth.

"I'm not sure if I should go back to Hogwarts this year." Hermione said.

"Not this again, you are going back to Hogwarts with us." Ron said quickly. "Nobody is going to care about you and Seth, well they might be some talk about it but you can tell them what really happened. They are probably going to ask why you weren't there at the end of the school term last year, but I am sure they are going toknow when they see Seth. And once they get to know Seth they won't even care and they will probably be asking to play wiyth him, well everyone except for the Slytherins of course."

Hermione smiled, "Thank you, Ron."

"No problem."

Ginny ran into the living room with the others, "Mom told me that you were here." She said, "I have been waiting to see Seth again, he is just so cute."

Ginny picked Seth up and the bottle and started to feed him.

"Yeah, he is cute." Hermoine agreed.

"Are you going to take him to Hogwarts?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, mum and dad can't watch him, you know with their busy lives." Hermione answered, "Its best that he gets to see Hogwarts anyway, he will be going there in eleven years."

"Yes, I can't wait till everybody gets to see him, they are all going to love him." Ginny said.
