Hermione could feel both Harry's and Ron's eyes on her but she focused on putting some food on her plate. She swallowed hard as the smell of the food reached her nose. She took in a deep breath and let it out and then forced herself to look at Harry and Ron. When she saw that they were staring at her instead of eating she sighed. "Why are you two staring at me?"

Harry sighed and said "Hermione why were you with Snape? Is that where you have been all day? Ron, Ginny and I looked everywhere for you but we couldn't find you."

Hermione took in a deep breath and let it out. She decided to go ahead and tell them what she had learned. She could only hope that Ron wouldn't jump to the wrong conclusion then again she knew how Ron was and she also had no doubt that he wouldn't jump to the wrong conclusion. She knew she could put off telling them until after she ate but she also knew that they wouldn't let up until she told them. "No Harry I wasn't with Professor Snape all day. Actually I wasn't even at Hogwarts all day. I had an appointment at St. Mungo's today."

Harry frowned and Ron demanded "And you didn't tell us? We could have went with you. Are you okay 'Mione?"

Hermione smiled slightly at Ron. She was glad that Ron and her were still friends even though they didn't make it as a couple. "I didn't tell you two because I knew you both would want to go and I needed to go alone. As for me being okay you could that that. There is nothing serious wrong with me. However I did find out something that I wasn't expecting."

Harry looked at Hermione with concern in his eyes and frowned. "You said that there was nothing serious wrong with you 'Mione. What was it that you found out then?"

Hermione took a bite of the food on her plate and forced herself to chew and then swallow it. She had to fight the urge to get sick. She then took in a deep breath and let it out. "What I'm going to tell you two you have to promise not to tell anyone until I'm ready."

Ron and Harry exchanged looks and then looked back at Hermione and said at the same time "We promise 'Mione."

Hermione nodded and then took in another deep breath and let it out and then whispered just loud enough for both of them to hear "I found out that I'm pregnant."

Harry's eyes widened in shock at Hermione's whispered statement. Her couldn't believe he had heard her right. "Can you repeat that 'Mione? I don't think that Ron or I heard you correctly."

Hermione sighed but once again whispered "I found out today that I am seven weeks pregnant."

Ron fell back off of the bench as he reared back in shock at what Hermione just said. As he stood up anger coursed through him because until seven weeks ago him and Hermione had still been a couple. "Tell me that you're joking Hermione."

Hermione looked up at Ron with a frown. "I wouldn't joke about something like this Ron."

Ron glared and then he let his anger show as he yelled "YOU WHORE! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?"

Hermione paled at Ron's choice of words and then she forced herself to her feet even as she saw a lot of students standing up as well as Albus and Severus standing up from the Head Table. "How dare you call me a whore Ronald Weasley?"

Harry saw that Hermione was unsteady on her feet so he stood up and put his hand on her back to help steady her and to keep her from falling down. "Ron you need to calm down."

Ron snorted and then shouted "Don't tell me to calm down Harry. As for how I can call you a whore Hermione it's because you are one. You were still my girlfriend seven weeks ago. Now here you are telling me that you're seven weeks pregnant. I know that baby isn't mine because you wouldn't shag me. Hell I had to go somewhere else to get it since you wouldn't give it to me."

Hermione gasped at Ron's words and her face paled even more. She couldn't believe what Ron had just admitted to her. She swayed on her feet and fought the rush of dizziness that came upon her. "I can't believe you Ronald Weasley. How dare you cheat on me! If you would have asked me how I got pregnant I would have told you. The Healer I saw said he wasn't sure since I don't and couldn't recall having sex with someone. Neither Healer Adams or myself know how I became pregnant. Thank you for showing what kind of friend you are!"

Harry gasped when he saw Hermione's eyes roll into the back of her head just as she started falling to the floor he yelled "Hermione!"

Severus was talking quietly to Minerva who was concerned about Hermione when he heard someone yell "You whore! How could you do that to me?"

He broke off his conversation with Minerva and quickly looked up. When he saw that it was Ron who was yelling he looked at Hermione and saw that she was pale and starting to stand up. He got up from his own seat and looked at Albus who was also standing up. He started walking down the stairs with Albus right behind him.

He saw that students were standing up and watching the scene. He could hear Ron saying something and then he heard Hermione responding but he couldn't quite make out every word because where Ron was yelling Hermione was talking softly. He did notice that Harry was trying to make sure that Hermione didn't fall. When he looked to the left he was surprised to see that Blaise, Draco and a couple other Slytherin's were making their way to Hermione's side. He made a note to himself to ask Draco about it later.

He was thinking about what had caused Hermione to pale even more a few seconds ago when he heard Harry yell "Hermione!"

He looked up from where he was trying to get through some of the Gryfinndor's standing in the way just in time to see Hermione get caught in Draco's arms as she started falling to the floor. He growled at the four students who wouldn't move. "Move out of the way you dunderheads!"

He was relieved that they moved without him having to say anything else and he quickly made it to Draco's side who was holding Hermione in his arms with Harry standing by his side in case he was needed. "What in the world is going on here?"

Ron who was being held in place by Blaise and another Seventh year Slytherin snarled "The whore passed out after I told her what I did and what she was."

Severus stepped around and over to Draco and Harry and looked down at Hermione. When he saw that she had fainted but seemed to be unharmed he looked up and glared at Ron. "Mr. Weasley you have a months detention with Filch and you just lost your house fifty points for your language. I also think that you and I will be having a conversation later today but first I must see to Miss Granger. If you have caused her or her baby any harm there will be more punishment."

Ron swallowed but glared at Severus. "I only told her the truth. We were still together seven weeks ago and she is seven weeks pregnant. There is no way that baby is mine."

Harry looked at Ron and glared. "You have no right to talk Ron. You just stood there and admitted that because Hermione wouldn't sleep with you that you cheated on her. If anyone is a whore here it is you!"

Ron glared at Harry and tried to step forward but Blaise held him back and he snapped "Let me go Zabini!"

Severus looked at Albus who was standing behind Ron as he said "Mr. Weasley you need to come to my office. We'll wait there for Severus to come and talk to you."

Ron swallowed hard as he looked over his shoulder and saw Albus standing there with a hard look in his yes. "Yes Headmaster."

Albus nodded and then looked at Blaise. "Mr. Zabini I'd appreciate it if you would escort Mr. Weasley to my office. I'll meet you there shortly."

Blaise nodded and then looked at Draco and said "Make sure Granger is okay."

Draco nodded and looked at Harry and then Severus. "Are we taking Hermione to the infirmary?"

Severus thought for a minute and then nodded. "Yes we are. Poppy will have some of the potions that I need and what she doesn't have I can go and get. Draco are you okay to carry Miss Granger or do I need to do it?"

Draco shook his head. "I can carry her Sir. She doesn't weigh anything at all."

Severus nodded and then said "Come along then Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter."

Draco and Harry both nodded and followed Severus out of the Great Hall just as Blaise walked Ron out of the Great Hall followed by Albus and Minerva.
