Chapter Three ~ Pregnancy and the Birth of the first Charmed One

As the months went by Harry and Hermione were getting excited to welcome their baby into the world. Harry and Hermione also went to Hogwarts as agreed by the family.

At 6 months Hermione stopped going to classes because she didn't want to place their baby in danger though Harry and Hermione knew their baby would be born half-whitelighter and so she was at the Halliwell Manor and Harry came home to see her.

Hermione was 9 months pregnant and Penny told them their baby would be born any day now. Hermione was with Harry and then she said "uh oh Harry it's time. Owwww Harry; get Aunt Penny NOW!

Penny walked into the room and said "He doesn't have to I'm here umm Harry go get some blankets and some water. *Harry conjures up all she asked* thank you"

3hrs and a half later...

Hermione gave birth to a healthy baby girl and Harry said "what shall we name her"?

Hermione said "I like the name Prudence it was my great times five generations great grandmother's name".

Harry smiled and said "I like it what about for a middle name? How about Grace?

Hermione said "Prudence Grace Halliwell yeah I do like it. Harry you know we have to give her to Patty and Victor".

Harry sighed sadly and said "I know I wish we didn't have to but hey at least we'll be able to see her grow up right? Yes Harry and actually in September your parents, Sirius and Remus as well as the rat Pettigrew will be coming to Hogwarts it'll get creepy but as long as we're together it'll be alright"

3 days later Harry and Hermione returned to Hogwarts and as soon as Hermione got back into the dorm room she cried and her friend Sophia who had dark brown hair and grey/blue eyes said "hey Mia what's wrong"?

Hermione said "N-Nothing Sophia Hermione wipes her tears away".

Sophia said "I know something's wrong please tell me Mia also where have you been these last three months"?

Hermione said "I was temporarily on leave because I was pregnant"

Sophia gasped and said "Mia you're only thirteen"!

Hermione said "Actually I'm fourteen and the reason I didn't tell you was because I didn't want to be shunned by others and called a slut when I'm happily married to Harry that's the reason why we left 1993".

Sophia gasped and looked at her friend and said "Y-you're from the future? Wow also I'm not mad i understand now"

Hermione said "Thanks Sophia I appreciate it"

Sophia said "So what'd you name him or her"?

Hermione said "Harry and I named her Prudence Grace Halliwell-Potter"

Sophia said "Why the name Prudence"?

Hermione said "Because my great times five generations great grandmother was called Prudence and actually my six generations great grandmother started the Halliwell/Warren line but unfortunately she was burned at the stake for being found guilty as a Witch during the Witch trials.

Hermione paused thinking of her and Harry's daughter and said "Speaking of Prue Harry and I need to give Prue her Wiccaning"

Sophia said "What's a Wiccaning Mia"?

Hermione said "A Wiccaning is a blessing ceremony basically every time a baby is born in my family after 2 weeks or so we summon our ancestors' from the Warren/Halliwell line and they bless the child with good magic and in some ways help protect them through good magic so they will hopefully remain good"

2 weeks later...

Prue was now two weeks old and both Harry and Hermione asked Dumbledore if they could go home for Prue's Wiccaning ceremony and so both were at the Halliwell Manor and they went up to the attic for the ceremony. Hermione was holding Prue and Penny said "Alright are we ready"? Hermione said "Yes I believe we are"

Penny said "Alrighty I call forth from space and time the Halliwell matriarch mothers, daughters, sisters, friends we summon you here so you may bless this child in good magic" So then the Warren/Halliwell women/witches since the Witch Trials appeared and they all said "Blessed it be" Hermione, Harry, Patty, Penny and Victor said "Blessed it be" After they said that Penny gave back Prue to Hermione.
