Chapter 12

3 months later and it is now March. Hermione was in her office getting things prepared for when her temporary replacement would take over her class. McGonagall had set it up for Molly Weasley to be Hermione's replacement while Hermione was on maternity leave. Hermione would stay at the castle while she was on maternity leave and she was expecting Molly to floo in anytime now. Hermione had most of everything set up so that when Molly did show up things would move smoothly. Hermione had already let all her classes know of her going on maternity leave and who their replacement would be. They had all wished her the best of luck and some even gave her hugs. Hermione planned on going on her maternity leave in a few days' time and was relieved that Molly would be the one to teach her classes for her. Soon enough Molly flooed in and Hermione smiled as she slowly got out of her chair. Molly came rushing over to help her get the rest of the way up. They both chuckled while Hermione thanked her. Molly just brushed it off and replied, "Oh please…I know how hard it is getting out of chairs at 8 months along." She continued to smile as she asked, "So, how are you and little Alice doing? I mean how are you feeling?" Hermione smiled and sighed, "Well, to be honest I think this kid could have done great playing muggle football with all the kicking that she's done and I swear that my office should be moved into my bathroom." She giggled as she said, "I swear I feel like I have to constantly go to the bathroom." Molly chuckled and replied, "Ahhhh, I remember those days all too well." They both chuckled some more before they soon began getting things switched over to Molly. Hermione gave her heads up about some of the students and Molly nodded and after about two hours everything was in order. Hermione leaned back in her chair and then grunted as she held her side. Molly looked at her smiling, "Is she kicking?" Hermione chuckled and replied with, "Yeah, she loves to kick my right kidney every time." Molly listened and had the veteran smile as if she was thinking about all her times with those kicks with her kids. Hermione smiled, "You want to feel her move?" Molly just smiled and rested her hands on Hermione's belly. They just stayed in that moment as two mothers and grateful for each other's company.

Later on that evening Hermione got home after her husbands did. She had had a meeting with Molly and McGonagall and McGonagall had asked Hermione if Molly could sit in on her classes while watching how the classes went and see where exactly they were at with their learning. Hermione had been all for that and knew that Molly could put those kids in their place if need be. As Hermione entered the apartment her three husbands smiled and Neville patted the seat next to him on the couch. She slowly sat down with the help of her husbands and then felt as Neville began to do their nightly routine of massaging her back. After he massaged her back he moved to her legs and feet. She smiled and almost melted into their couch. Harry handed her a glass of water, "Hey how was your private meeting with Molly and your group meeting with Molly and McGonagall?" Hermione replied, "They both went well and I believe that Molly will be great in teaching them charms and if all goes well McGonagall said she may keep her on and have her teach the older years. Which means it will be a lot less stressful on me." Harry, Neville, and Draco all smiled as Harry kissed her sweetly, "That's great honey." Draco then asked if he could get her anything she smiled shyly as she asked him sweetly, "Could you get me a pumpkin pasty please?" He smiled at her and replied after kissing her, "Of course sweetheart anything for you."

Draco quickly returned with her pumpkin pasty and handed it to her. She then thanked him sweetly and rested her head on his lap while Neville finished massaging her feet. After a couple of hours they all headed to bed and Hermione went to go sleep with Neville in their bed. After she got ready for bed, she walked over to the bed and laid down. Their bed was nice and comfy with the perfect amount of blankets and sheets on it. She watched as never came out of their bathroom and walked over to the bed. He was wearing a red silk pajamas and as he was walking over to the bed he saw that she was looking at him. He smiled at her as he climbed into his side of the bed. He leaned over and kissed her sweetly and lovingly before looking at her, "Good night my love." He then leaned down and kissed her belly, "Good night little Allie…mommy and daddy both love you so much and we can't wait to meet you." She smiled and giggled and then they wished each other sweet dreams before Neville wrapped his left arm around her and they fell asleep surrounded by each other's love.

Hermione woke up the next morning and went and took a shower right away after kissing Neville a good morning kiss. Draco fixes them all some breakfast in their kitchen while Harry makes coffee for his along with Draco and Neville he poured Hermione some pumpkin juice. Hermione came out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped up in a towel and she smiles at Neville whose is putting the last of his professor uniform on. She then walked over and kissed him one more time before getting on her professor uniform. She asked Neville kindly if he would help her with her shoes since she couldn't reach her feet anymore. He smiled and gladly helped her with her shoes. She thanked him for his help then used a spell to magically dry her hair and put it up in a bun before turning back to Neville. "How does it look?" He smiled, "You look beautiful and it looks perfect." She smiled and thanked him as they headed downstairs together. She gave both Draco and Harry their good morning kisses and sat down at the table. She smiled and thanked Draco for making breakfast as did both Neville and Harry. Draco smiled and nodded then sat down at the table to the left of Hermione while Neville sat on her right side. Harry handed her her morning pumpkin juice. She thanked him before taking a sip. Draco along with Harry and Neville drank their morning coffee. Draco read that morning addition of the Daily Prophet and chuckled as he read aloud that Seamus had "accidently blew his grill which in turn made his new wife Delores Umbridge jump enough to fall out of her lawn chair and into their pool." Everyone laughed as Draco finished with, "no one was harmed in this incident other than a rather soaked Umbridge." Hermione belly laughed and held her belly at the picture in her head. She then added after composing herself enough, "Poor Seamus he has never had luck when it came to his magic." Even laughed harder at her comment and nodded in agreement. Soon it was time for them to head to their classes and for Hermione to have her last day of classes till after the baby was born. The other two days were to be her baby shower and making sure Molly had the hang of teaching at the school.

Hermione kissed all of her husbands a good luck/goodbye kiss before heading towards her classroom. Her classes went well and Molly was a great help with helping her with the huge classes. After several hours of teaching Hermione said her good byes to her students and promised to bring Alice by after she was born and was able. During Hermione's third year Charms class Cassandra had been sad to see her favorite teacher leave, but knew she would still see her around the castle. Hermione said goodbye and thank you once again to Molly before heading out of the classroom and headed to the apartment. She sighed contently as she carefully sat down on her couch. She had had lunch in the great hall with her husbands earlier and wasn't hungry at the moment. So, she decided to take a nap on the couch till her husbands arrived home. She smiled as she peacefully drifted off to sleep.
