Chapter 10
It had been around a month since she had consummated her three marriages to Harry, Neville, and Draco. Things had been going great and they were only a month away from leaving for Hogwarts to start their career. Hermione had been feeling tired recently, but had chalked it up to getting things ready for their work at Hogwarts. Harry, Neville, and Draco were concerned for her health. They had considered that she may be pregnant, but still weren't sure that the signs or symptoms would be showing yet. So, they decided to keep their thoughts under wrap till they were more positive. They had planned on going to Diagon Alley to get their teaching books together as they grew closer to their departure to Hogwarts. They soon all gathered in the library in their house and one by one flooed to the alley. Soon they had all arrived and decided to go to Flourish and Blotts to get their book first before gathering up the rest of their new supplies. Upon arriving the manager of the book store smiled and greeted them by their first names, "Ahhhh Hermione, Harry, Neville, and Draco. Welcome back to Flourish and Blotts. I hear you have all acquired positions at Hogwarts…I am so proud of all of you." Hermione smiled as the manager also added, "Also, congratulations on your recent wedding you four." The four smiled and politely thanked the manager before asking where the teaching books were located. The manager smiled and told them where the teacher section was and where in the section their book would/should be located. They thanked her for her help and for her congrats on the marriage. The young witch herself was newly married to three wizards herself and was a blushing newlywed. They soon found their books and paid for them as well as the rest of their supplies and decided to head back home to finish packing up for the school year. They were now only 2 weeks away from heading back to Hogwarts.
It was now two weeks later as they made their way to platform 9 ¾. They had decided to go by Hogwarts Express for old time sake. They soon boarded the train and they helped Hermione with her luggage. After about fifteen minutes were all on and found an empty cabin for them all to sit in by themselves. Hermione fixed her outfit and smiled at her three husbands, who all smiled back in turn. They saw students as well as other teachers passing past their cabin and Hermione smiled as she looked over to her loves. "I remember our first year being on this train and helping a young boy try and find his lost toad. Neville smiled and blushed lightly, "Thank you again Hermione. Who knew that I would eventually be married to you?" Harry smiled and chuckled, "Yeah and that that same first year who have helped fix my glasses would be end up being my wife as well." Everyone chuckled including Draco. This was the first time that he had heard all the others funny memories of their years through school. They spent the rest of the ride to Hogwarts reminiscing of the good memories they had at Hogwarts.
After an hour ride they arrived at Hogwarts and smiled as Hagrid walked over to them. He gave each one of them a big hug and turned to Draco, "Why isn't it Mr. Malfoy…I've heard you've joined the side of good for good." Draco smiled up to Hagrid and replied, "Yes I have and I'm glad to see you again, Hagrid." Hagrid smiled and hugged Draco again as he replied to all four of them, "Well welcome back to Hogwarts and should I say welcome professors." They all smiled and chuckled as soon Hagrid excused himself, "I'm sorry that I can't stay, but as you four know I have to escort the first years up to the castle." They all smiled and said their good byes to Hagrid before getting on a carriage. They arrived at the castle and Draco helped Hermione out of the carriage while Harry and Neville got all their luggage magically sent to their apartment in the castle. They all walked into the castle together and made their way up to the professors table. McGonagall along with their past professors smiled and welcomed them back. McGonagall along with the other professor congratulated them of their wedding and were all glad they came back to be professors. They smiled and shook the hands of each of their professors individually and then sat down in the assigned spots at the table. They smiled as they looked over the student body and looked at each house's table. Hagrid soon arrived with the first year students and the sorting commenced as it always had and at the end McGonagall gave her yearly speech. She added that Harry would become the new Headmaster of Hogwarts, however, she would stay on for the next year to help Harry with the transition. She introduced Draco as the new Defense against the Dark Arts professor as well as head of Slytherian house. Draco bowed, but vowed to make sure that any students that reminded him of how he used to behave and act would be put in their place quickly, but respectively. He sat down and soon McGonagall introduced Neville as their new Herbology instructor as Professor Sprout would stay on as his advisor. Neville bowed and then sat down as Hermione stood up when McGonagall introduced her as the new Charms professor as well as head of Gryffindor house. She smiled and bowed before sitting back down in her chair. McGonagall then asked everyone to be quiet as they had a few moments silence for all who had died while defending the school or were on the good side. After the few moments of silence the yearly beginning of term feast and dinner was served. Hermione had her usual favorite and began to eat along with her husbands.
After dinner and talking amongst themselves and the other professors, the four excused themselves and decided to go to their apartment. They were all exhausted and decided to turn in early. Especially Hermione, for some reason she felt exhausted all the time now. Once they arrived at their apartment the unpacked and Hermione sat down with an exhausted sigh onto their couch. Neville along with Draco and Harry had noticed and joined her. "Mione, are you feeling alright?" Neville was the first to speak while the other two just looked at her with concern expressions on her face. She smiled, "Yeah, it just been a busy two weeks and first day back at Hogwarts. I'll be fine. Just give me a few days to get back into a routine. They all tentatively smiled and Hermione rest her left hand on Neville's right shoulder. She looked at all three of her husbands and replied, "Come on, let's all go get a good night's sleep." Hermione slept with Harry, for it was his turn for her to sleep with. She kissed Neville and Draco a good night kiss and headed off to bed with Harry. Hermione yawned after getting ready for bed and soon fell asleep in Harry's arms after a sweet goodnight kissed shared between the two of them.
The next morning she got up and all of a sudden ran to the bathroom feeling like she was going to throw up any minute. Harry wasn't fast enough and was caught on the other side of the closed door. He hollered Hermione's name and asked if she was alright. By that time Draco and Neville came running down the hall from their rooms in the pajamas with concerned looks on their faces. "What's wrong with Hermione?" Draco asked as he looked at Harry sharing a concerned looked to him and to the closed bathroom door. They all could hear Hermione throwing up into the toilet and Neville knocked on the door next as Draco raked his fingers through his hair and Harry paced in the hallway. "Hermione, are you okay? Can we come in?" Hermione then called out, "I'm fine…please I'll be out in a few minutes. It was probably just something I ate last night that didn't settle with me right." The three men shared a look and then decided that they would wait for her in their commons room. Harry continued pacing in the room while Draco was sitting in a chair with his face in his hands. Neville sat in another chair and was thinking back over the past two weeks. He then told Harry and Draco what he had noticed over the past two weeks, but hadn't said anything because he wasn't sure of the true reason. He then was about to add something when they heard Hermione join them. Harry walked over to her while the other two leapt up of their seats to check on her. "Hermione, we all think that you need to go checked out by Madam Pomphrey." Hermione smiled, "Guys, seriously…I'm fine. As I said while I was in the bathroom it was probably something I ate last night." She sighed, "If I get sick again I promise I'll go see her, but until then we better get freshen up and get dressed. Otherwise we will be late for breakfast." The three men were hesitant, but decided to go along with it for now since she had promised she would go get checked out if she got sick again. They soon were all dressed in their professor robes and all headed down to the Great Hall.
Hermione ate with her three husbands at the professors table and after breakfast she excused herself, "I'll see you guys later for dinner, but if I don't leave right now I will be late for my first charms class." They all kissed her goodbye and wished her luck; soon parting ways themselves to head to places they needed to be. Hermione soon made it to her Charms class with fifteen minutes to spare. She smiled and introduced herself and welcomed them to first year charms class. The class nodded and then classed was started. Her first class went without a hitch as did her second class. Soon it was time for her third class of the day and she smiled as her class filtered in and soon sat down in their seat. "Hello I'm Professor Hermione Potter, however, you can call me Professor Longbottom, Professor Malfoy, or just Professor. I would like to welcome you to third year charms." They smiled and then class started. About midway through class Hermione began to get dizzy. She thought that she may be dehydrated so she took a swig of her glass of water. She then realized that she shouldn't be and remembered that she had been drinking water all day. The dizzy spell dissipated and she went back to teaching her class. After about another 10 minutes she then felt her dizzy spell come back and soon she fell to the floor. A third year named Cassandra came to her aid and asked, "Professor, are you okay?" Hermione then replied, "Go get Madam Pomphrey." The young girl nodded and ran off with two of her classmates to go get the mediwitch. The three girls soon found her and told her about their Professor was having dizzy spells and couldn't get off the floor on her own. She nodded and told the three girls to go find the other Professor Potter, Professor Longbottom and Professor Malfoy and to tell them that they are needed in the Medical Wing as soon as possible. She then went to get McGonagall to help her. The three girls did as they were told and went to find each other the three professors that they were instructed to find. Madam Pomphrey found McGonagall and asked for her help with helping get Hermione to the medical wing. McGonagall nodded and followed Pomphrey to Hermione classroom and as they entered they saw Hermione sitting on the floor with most of her female third year students around her trying to help her. The third year male students stayed back and out of the way, but were there if needed.
McGonagall and Pomphrey made their way to Hermione and after helping her stand up dismissed her class for the day. They soon made their way up to the medical wing and laid her down on a bed. Pomphrey started running tests on her. The three girls got to the DADA classroom first and knocked on the door. Draco excused himself and opened the door. The young third year then responded, "Professor Malfoy, Madam Pomphrey has requested that you make your way to the medical wing as soon as you can." He nodded and thanked the three girls and quickly asked that Professor Snape continue his class for him. Snape nodded and did as he was asked. Draco soon made his way through the castle and up to the medical wing. The three girls found Neville next in the green house and luckily he was in between classes. He looked up as he saw three third year girls running up to him. Cassandra was the one to speak up, "Madam Pomphrey has asked that you come up to the medical wing as soon as possible. Professor Malfoy had already been notified and we are heading to Professor Potter next. Neville nodded and thanked the three girls before rushing up to the medical wing. The three girls finally made their way and found Harry walking though the corridors. They ran up to him as he turned hearing the running he got a look of concern on his face. Cassandra once again spoke up, "Professor Potter, Madam Pomphrey has requested your attendance in the medical wing as soon as possible. Professor Malfoy and Longbottom have both already been notified." He thanked the three girls and told them to go back to their common room for the day until supper. They nodded and soon watched as he made his way up to the medical wing. Draco was the first one there and was told to wait for Harry and Neville to arrive, so they could all go in together. Soon enough he heard running down the corridor and saw Harry and Neville coming up to the medical wing. They soon joined him at the door into the medical wing and Harry asked, "What's wrong...Is Hermione okay… have you seen her yet?' Draco sighed, "Don't know…I was advised to wait for you guys so we could all go in together. They soon all enter together and go straight to her bedside. She smiled as they all asked questions all at once. Neville then asked, "Hermione, what's going on?" Hermione then added, "Everything's alright. Pomphrey has ran some tests and we are waiting on the results." Madam Pomphrey then came out of her office and was smiling, "Everything is fine, but Hermione there was one test that came back positive…"Hermione and the three others looked at her to finish. "Hermione, you are pregnant."
