AUTHOR NOTE

This version we see a CONTRAception potion get turned into a CONCEPTION potion. I admit I couldn't find a way to make it affect the big picture so focused on some of the more interactions between the people. But my wife influenced this existing and happy wife happy life..lol.

OOPS: I got my wires crossed forgot I killed Dumbledore then gave him a happy ending. This was pointed out by N0wa5t3r

Dennis UD: Thanks glad it was enjoyed.

Timekeeper: I tried to write a scene where they wanted to bring Ginny with them but I couldn't make it flow smoothly in the rest of the story. It felt like trying to shift from second to fourth gear as it just stalled and made Molly sound like a complete beetch. Not what I was going for. This time.

Sayianhuad: Yeah magic does seem to have the ability to fix any problem no matter how horrific, dangerous or traumatic short of absolute sudden death, or lycanthropy or dark curses...In that regards it reminds me of the transporters on star trek and I hated those episodes. Especially "Tuvix" and the one on TNG that had the captain and some others get turned into kids, and the Enemy within from first season original. DS9 was about the only one that didn't really abuse the transporter too heavily but they had other things going on...Anyhow rant aside I interpret magic to be a bit more realistic with harder rules and limits. I admit its not canon but then nothing I write is. Hence the idea of form-locking. Magic can only change the body's pattern so much and if you break it you bought it. Oh well as you say it is a story. Thanks for reading at least.

OfficerdonNZ: yeah I have to kinda stretch my mind to make Dumbledore sympathetic and ignore a lot of things he's done. In the Retold I'm working on I've tried to balance betwen him being a manipulative meddler and being a sorta sympathetic meddler. Taking the approach that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and he meant well. It just takes bending canon like a bread tie.

Stevem1: Thanks. I've been thinking on this a bit and have more ideas. The biggest threat is trying to avoid it becoming repetitive.

September 1st 1994

Harry and Ron were chatting with Ginny when they saw Hermione come through the barrier onto 9 and ¾. She must have been running very late as the Weasley's had been early and still among the last to board the train.

She was walking slowly and with a funny sway. Harry noticed her breasts and belly were both larger and her face was a bit puffier. She was breathing hard and leaned on Harry when she finally reached them.

"Hermione are you okay?"

"Yeah just the baby makes running a bit rough."
"BABY!" Ron and Harry both exclaimed while Ginny stared at her.

"Yes baby. Now please don't shout she doesn't like that. I need to get on the train. Could you help me Harry."
"Uh yeah sure. He took her trunk and stuff and let her go ahead of him. She stopped at the loo while he put everythign in a compartment not far away. She caught up and grunting sat beside Harry kciking her shoes off. Placing her hands on her distended abdomen she caught her breath. Ron kept looking at her like he wanted to say something but wasn't sure what.

Harry was trying to do math and came up with multiple errors. He knew the robes at school hid a lot of Hermione's figure but he had hugged her, been held from behind by her when they rode Buckbeak and he was certain he would have noticed her breasts and belly being that big.

"No Harry I wasn't pregnant until six weeks ago. Its a magically accelerated pregnancy."
"Oh uh wow. Well congratulations. Who's the father."
"Well now this is a bit of a laugh but there isn't one."
Ron snorted, "Hermione even I know you have to have a guy involved to get a baby."
"Not entirely. I was working on a contraception potion and when I used the microwave to set some of the ingredients into a gel it caused them to flip their magical properties and turned it into a conception potion. Stupid magic." She said grumpily.

"So you got yourself pregnant?" Harry was confused.

"Yeah a fine example of Parthenogenesis."

Ron and harry looked at each other then back at Hermione. "Partho who?"

"Parthenogenesis. I self fertilized one of my eggs which implanted in my uterus and blammo I'm pregnant. Unfortunately I was still infused with thaumically charged tachyonic particles which is accelerating it."

Ron shook his head, "Hermione could you speak English. I have utterly no idea what you're saying."

Harry knew time travel was what she was talking about. From the time turner she had been using last year. "So is there any other side effects?"

"Aside from giving birth in three weeks no. They don't think so at Saint Mungo's. Harry could you rub my feet?"

"Yeah sure." She grunted and shifted with Harry's help so that her feet were in his lap. She had not been wearing socks so he was rubbing her bare feet. He looked as her legs went up under the skirt she was wearing.

"Are you trying to look up my skirt Harry?"

"Uh well uh."

"Well I need to talk to you about that anyhow." She chuckled nervously.

"Why?"

"Well right now the baby has no father magically. Legally in the wizarding world it'll be registered as a bastard child. I was hoping you might be willing to claim it."

"You want me to claim to be the father of your baby."
"Yes please. If you would Harry. You're the only person I can think of I'd want to do that." She was looking at him fearfully biting her lip.

"I suppose."

"You don't have to do it right now. I'll take a nap. It just has to be done before she's born." She relaxed and let Harry rub her feet. Ron was looking somehow upset as she settled in to take a nap. Soon she was gently snoring. Harry rubbing her feet gently and looking at her thoughtfully.

"You're really going to do that?" Ginny asked. She had been staring at Hermione and frowning.

"Yeah. I don't mind. Its a kinda neat idea."

"This is so weird." Ron grumped.

"Weird. Harry you do realize that in the wizarding world if you claim a child as yours you are honor bound to take care of it. That magic itself will make you. It will be your heir and have your name and everything."

"Really? I'll not be the last Potter." He said with a hopeful expression. Looking at Hermione's belly. "So it'll really be my child?"
"Yeah and you might even wind up married to her. Magical marriages cannot be annulled if you change your mind Harry." Ginny stated.

"How do you know so much about all this?" Harry asked in confusion.

"I uh studied up on it."

"She was looking into it because she wanted to be your wife." Ron smirked.

"Shut up prat."
"No its true Harry Ginny has been practicing her name as Ginny Potter."
"Shut up you prat!" Ginny shouted.

Hermione snorted then growled when she woke up, "Both of you shut up or get out. Octavia has not been letting me get much sleep. You realize how fucking hard it is to go through a pregnancy, much less an accelerated one? Each damn week has been an entire month. You want to know how much of a pain in my ass this has been, literally? I learned a spell that lets me share the sensations. I'll use it too."

Ron looked scared while Ginny huffed and stomped out of the compartment. Ron apologized and said he would see what Neville was doing.

"Octavia?" Harry asked gently after they left.

"Yeah that's what I want to name her. I talked it over with mom and that would have been my little sister's name if mom hadn't had a miscarriage."

"Oh. I'm sorry. Yeah I like that name. Octavia Potter. Sounds neat."
Hermione smiled, "Octavia Potter?"

"Yeah I want to claim her as mine. Do I have to do anything?"

"Yeah they gave me a ritual you have to do."

"Does it involve us having sex?" He chuckled awkwardly.

"No but if my hormones keep swinging wildly at some point I'll be jumping your bones no doubt. Mom told me that she would sometimes not even let dad get to the bedroom." She said with a laugh looking at him carefully.

"Oh. Okay. Sounds fun. As long as you don't do it in the middle of the great hall." he was smiling which made Hermione relax.

She laughed, "Might get some house points from Professor Sprout. Especially if we do it right."
"Okay so what do I have to do?"
She raised her shirt exposing her belly. Harry took a deep breath, She chuckled, "Its just my belly."
"Yeah but this is a lot more of you then I've ever seen."
"Well since you're going to be the father of my baby you'll be seeing a lot more of me."
"Okay so now what."
"Put your hand on my belly. Just about where my belly button is and say you claim this child. That they are you family and their blood is your blood."

Harry touched her then pulled back when her belly twitched. She made a slight grunt then chuckled, "Its okay Harry. Its normal."

"Oh okay."

He touched her then repeated the words with a slight alteration, "I claim this child and her mother. They are my family. This child's blood is my blood."

"A warm golden glow surrounded his hand then spread over Hermione finally concentrating in her abdomen and sinking into her. She gave a gasp and a slight high pitched squeal.

"Well that was unexpectedly pleasant."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I just won't need to jump your bones tonight." she then chuckled softly.

"Oh." Harry said figuring it out.

The door was pulled open and Draco was standing there. He looked at Hermione's bare belly oddly then looked at Harry with his hand on her.

"What do you want?" Harry snarled quickly.

Shutting the door Draco sat down across from them. Hermione pulled her shirt down as she struggled to sit up. Harry turned and helped her. Draco staring the entire time.

"What?"

"You're pregnant?"

"Yes well spotted."
"Harry's child?"

"Yes. His daughter."

Draco ran his hand through his hair. "You're going to be in a lot more danger."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Harry growled.

"Everyone knows you're pregnant. They saw you on the platform."
"Yeah I know not exactly easy to hide this." She said rubbing her belly.

"You don't understand. This makes you a target."

"I know Draco. I am aware of what this makes me. Just being Harry's friend makes me a target. Having his baby is not that much more, especially for a mudblood."
"You should have gotten a tutor and been home-schooled."
"I can't do that Draco. Remember its illegal. I'm a mudblood."
He frowned but nodded, "Oh yeah. I forgot."
"What do you want Draco?"

"Nothing."

=====xxxxx=====

Arriving at the school the whispers and pointing started as Harry proudly walked with his arm around Hermione's ample waist. She bit her lip but held her head high as Harry had asked her to. Promising to be there with her every step.

Colin came up with his camera and snapped a picture causing Hermione to glare at him but Harry stopped and posed themselves for him. Making sure that he stood behind Hermione with his arms around here and the belly.

Helping her into the carriage Ron and Ginny both looked sheepish but Neville looked awkwardly at the floor.

"What's wrong Neville?"
"Uh nothing Hermione. I just uh."

"He's a bit awkward because you're preggers." Ron explained.

Neville glared at Ron but when Hermione grabbed his hand and put it on her belly he almost screamed. "Hermione!"
"What. There is a baby inside me. Its not like I'm going to explode or something."

Neville got a strange grin as harry laughed ,"You feel her kick?"
"That's what that was? Something hit my hand."

"Yeah she's going to have a great job on a football team."

The friends reconciled as Ron congratulated Harry and Hermione and even Ginny worked to swallow her crush for Harry.

=====xxxxx=====

After the feast Professor McGonnegal called out to Harry and Hermione. "I would like to speak with the two of you in private please."

"Following up on the information that Saint Mungo's gave Madam Pomfrey it was determined that earlier today a magical claim of birthright was formed between yourself and your daughter Mister Potter."

He grinned hearing those words, "Great."

"Yes well also at the same time a marriage bond was registered between yourself and Hermione. She is at least in the wizarding world Hermione Potter now. Your wife."
Harry looked like he was going to float off the floor without a broom. Hermione was a bit surprised but adapted well. "So now what?"

"Well we have had to open the married quarters. They will be available tomorrow for the two of you. You'll have to spend tonight in the dorms unfortunately. Madam Pomfrey has the nursery and birthing room prepared for you. Of course after the birth you'll be given excuses from class to feed her. During the day you'll have to leave your daughter at the Nursery but will as expected take her to your quarters in the evening and for the night."

"Thank you ma'am. I wasn't expecting that. But Harry and I are married?"

"Yes in the wizarding world a magical declaration of marriage is sufficient."

"But aren't we too young?"

"No as the wizarding world has not updated their laws the legal age is still 13."
Filius stood by as the Potters walked off towards Gryffindor tower arm in arm. Minerva held her hand out and the diminutive professor put a sickle in it. Minerva just smiled and said , "Pleasure doing business with you Filius." as she walked off chuckling.

=====xxxxx=====

Harry arrived in the dorms that evening after seeing Hermione to her stairs. She had smacked him a few times reminding him she was pregnant not crippled as he had tried to be overly helpful. The guys chuckled and joked with him and teasing him finally went to sleep.

Hermione was descended upon by the girls all seeking information and to touch her belly. Lavender and Parvati joking about how it was always the quiet ones who turned out to be the wildest.

The next night a door appeared between the two stairways in the Gryffindor common room that would only open for Harry or Hermione. It was the married quarters which announced to the school their marriage. Hermione sighed and just accepted it as everyone started treating them a little bit differently. Girls she had never met congratulated her and Harry.

=====xxxxx====

Harry and Hermione since they were married and she was carrying his child had sex one night. She said that it was only right given the circumstances plus her hormones were needing dealt with.

As a week went by it was determined that sex with Harry had somehow managed to burn off the last of the acceleration and she would finish out the pregnancy normally. A surprising but happy discovery.

Draco was very polite to her and helpful in class. Which confused Harry and her both as well as his minions. Draco refused to explain his actions to anyone.

Dumbledore was supportive but distant from Harry at this point. Harry was not sure why but had more important things to worry about. Both the Tournament which Hermione wanted him to be ready for and her pregnancy. The third thing was adjusting to living with Hermione full time. She admitted that the hormones were not her at her best but that she wanted to try and make sure they worked things out as equals which Harry agreed. They had some disagreements but nothing more than some strenuous words which resulted in a brief bit of tense cohabitation before they worked it out and compromised usually.

=====xxxxx====

It was November 21st. Three days before the first task. Hermione had been pushing Harry hard with various spells, techniques and tricks. When they had found out thanks to Hagrid about the dragons Ron had written his brother Charlie for any tips as well as they did a lot of research. Harry was about as prepared for that as he thought he was.

Hermione was huge and her belly button popped out. A maternity school uniform was comfortably worn by her now. Everyone was not even aware of these things as she was the first pregnant student who had remain at the school since the 1960s.

They were in transfiguration class when Hermione felt some unpleasant cramping. A moment later she stood up as a gush of fluid hit the floor. Seamus was right behind her and exclaimed, "Eww gross Granger couldn't you have gotten to the bathroom?"

"her water broke." Harry was leaping to her side so fast some thought he had apparated.

"Very well get her to hospital wing Mr Potter. Everyone else please calm down. Females have been having children for a very long time. Miss Brown could you please use a cleaning charm on that?"
=====xxxxx====

Hermione was cleaned and placed in a bed with a healer from Saint Mungo's called given the circumstances of her daughter's conception madam Pomfrey had not wanted to take any chances.

After some charms and potions Hermione had a very easy and calm birth. Soon a small healthy girl with brown wispy hair and golden brown eyes was laid on her breast. Harry was so visibly excited he was shivering almost as much as Dobby had been.

They were cleaned and taken care of. Put in a recovery room until in the morning. Madam Pomfrey's protective nature wanting to ensure there was no unusual problems.

"Okay Mr Potter. Hermione needs to rest and relax until tomorrow so you can go back to your quarters."

"Are they okay?"

"Yes fortunately witches are protected by their magic from many of the unfortunate problems muggle women experience. She is still fatigued by the experience though as it is rather strenuous."

"Will Octavia be alright. I mean will she have anything odd going on?"

"Considering her parentage I would feel safe saying that yes she will no doubt have odd things in her life. As for any magical problems it is too early to tell. She does not seem to be under any odd effects at the moment."

Harry sighed in relief. "Can I stay." He said watching the pair of girls in his life.

"Mister Potter you will be having a new born child in your life. This will no doubt be the last complete night of sleep you will have in an extended period. Go back to your quarters and relax." Minerva said as she had come in once the birth was announced. She patted him on the shoulder as he kissed Hermione and Octavia gently.

=====xxxxx=====

A few days later Harry was sitting in the common room when Hermione and Octavia came in. "So how is everything?"

"Hey Ginny can you hold Octavia. I need to talk to Harry for a minute."
"What is there something wrong wrong with the baby?" Ron suddenly was looking at Octavia his goddaughter very carefully.

"No Ron she's fine. Okay."
"SO is there something wrong with you?"

"No Ron. Fine I'm sure Harry will tell you soon enough. But we're going to have to be very careful if we don't want Octavia to have any siblings soon."
"What all you gotta do is take a Prophylactic potion."

"Yeah well since there isn't one for males that isn't a one shot that could pose a problem."
"Hunh?" Ron and Harry were both looking at her in confusion. Ginny rocking the baby happily.

Hermione sighed, "Fine. I can't take a prophylactic potion. My body rejects it. I'm too fertile as well. Like Weasley fertile level."
"Whoa mom was joking that if dad even sneezed on her when she was younger she got pregnant." Ginny chuckled.

"Well ok I'm not that bad, its not magically enhanced or anything just I'm at the upper levels of human norm and would have to use muggle devices as the pill or potion won't work."

"Bummer Harry." Ron said.

"Bummer Harry, why is it bummer harry, why not Bummer you guys, or Bummer Hermione?"
"Ron you might want to surrender now."

"Uh sorry Hermione. Bummer you too."
"Really I have needs too you know."

Ron shook his head, "I don;t need to hear these things"

=====xxxxx====

Harry having a pair of reasons to live for was a lot more determined to stay alive during the tournament. He did not take as many dangerous risks and was a lot more cautious. The Yule Ball saw Hermione in a beautiful pale blue dress. Having to retire halfway through the night to feed Octavia as her milk laden bosom began to ache.

=====xxxxx====

"Mister Potter placing your face into your cauldron is not recommended."
"Sorry sir I've been helping Hermione with Octavia."
"Really? Having a child not turning out to be as easy as you had thought."

"Uh no." Harry said rubbing his chest.

"Are you having some difficulty?"

"Uh no Hermione found a charm that lets me uh feed Octavia so we've been alternating feedings."

Snape looked like he was going to say something when Draco spoke up, "Cool that's good of you Potter."

Everyone turned to look at the blonde who continued to work on his potion. Snape cleared his throat, "Well yes. Try not to poison yourself Potter. Some potions may pass through the milk into the child."
=====xxxxx=====

Hermione was not at the bottom of the lake which was confusing for her as Cho and Lavender who had danced with Cedric and Krum were. Fleur's date Roger Davies was not at the bottom either.

Harry arrived and found Ron at the bottom of the lake. Which made him laugh but there was also a small blonde girl there. Harry refused to leave her until he was sure that she was going to be saved. When no one showed up he rescued her too.

Fleur was grateful and swore to help the Potters all they had to do was ask.

=====xxxxx=====

At the final task Cedric beat Harry to the end of the course. As Harry was moving much more carefully and watching out for himself more.

Harry had left the maze and was walking back to the winning platform when Moody saw him and screamed. He hit him with an Avada Kedavra to the back The last thing Harry heard before the lights went out was screaming.

When he woke up he was sitting in a quiet lounge. He looked around and then he was hugged by a tall auburn haired woman with emerald green eyes.

"Mom? Where am I?"
"Well technically you're in between."
"IN between?"
"Yeah. In between tick and tock, life and death. There was a horcrux inside you. When Barty hit you with the killing curse it was sent beyond to his final punishment. Death doesn't like cheaters."
"Barty?"

"Hermione will explain when you go back."

"yeah I'm sure. So how do I go back?"

"Well first you need to know a few things. Since we finally have a chance to talk. First there are several more of those things Death wants you to get them."
"Okay. I have no idea where or what they are."
"Oh Death does. There is a diadem of Ravenclaw in the room of requirement. Talk to a girl named Luna. There is a ring at the Gaunt ancestral home. There is a snake that Riddle keeps near him. A cup owned by Hufflepuff in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault and a Locket at Sirius' old home. Kreacher has it. Once they are gone Riddle's a mortal being and can be stabbed or shot just like anyone else."
"Okay good to know."
"Secondly Draco is not a bad guy. His father found out that Draco was hit by a curse and won't have children of his own. The Malfoy family line ends with him."

"But couldn't he do like I did with Octavia?"

"He could but his father's pride won't accept anything but one born of the blood. Adoption is not an option."

"Wow so that's why he's been nice to Hermione?"

"Yeah he can be an ally if you reach out."
"Oh okay. I guess."

"He can be if you want to change society for your kids dear."

"Kids as in more than one?"
"Spoilers hun. I'm only allowed to tell you certain things."

"Okay. Sorry."
She laughed, "Your father knew you'd be excited though. He wanted to have several too but things happened."
Harry held her hand. "I'll make sure there's several grand-kids."
"Better make sure Hermione is happy with that idea too."

"Yeah good point."

"Don't let them zap you with the AK again. You ran out of get out of death cards."

"Yeah no problem." Harry nodded in enthusiastic agreement.

"Okay last thing cause our time here is over. Let Dumbledore get the ring. Don't interfere in that."

Harry hugged her when the world came back.

=====xxxxx=====

He was being held tightly by someone crying huge tears over him. "Hey Mione you're getting my shirt wet." He weakly grunted.

She stopped crying and started shrieking before laughing and hugging him tighter. Minerva looked at Poppy who shook her head. "Figures. Mister Potter." She said louder.

Hermione finally let him loose enough to respond. He saw Ginny standing nearby holding Octavia looking at him with wet eyes. "Uh, Sorry about that."

"You got hit by a killing curse, again."
"Yeah someone named Barty?"

"Well once they get all of his body put back together they'll identify him."
"Hunh?"
Hermione bit her lip. "I kinda got mad when I saw him kill you and uh overpowered my stunner. Well technically I think I cast a bombarda. Maybe. Well I kinda exploded him a little bit." She finally admitted.

=====xxxxx====

It turned out that it was Barty Crouch Junior impersonating Moody. Hermione's spell had sent organs and parts flying up to 50 yards away. She was forgiven for it given the circumstances and the fact that Barty Junior was supposed to be dead already.

Cedric returned in the middle of this with a large gash on his left arm and singed from a fire or explosion. He couldn't remember or explain what happened once he left the maze.

Harry told Dumbledore, Hermione and Sirius everything his mother had told him about the Horcruxes. They began to work together to retrieve and destroy these items.

Harry and Hermione found Luna and asked her about the Diadem and the room of requirement. She helped them find Dobby who told them about the room and with Luna's help found the diadem. They destroyed it with the sword which made Luna sad but she could at least tell her father what it actually looked like.

Sirius invoked an ancient law and the Black family codes to gain access to Bellatrix's vault and pulled the cup out. He gave it to Dumbledore along with the locket that Kreacher had. Kreacher watched as Dumbledore had the two items destroyed with the sword as well. The broken locket given to Kreacher as a reminder of his former friend and master Regulus.

Dumbledore went to retrieve the ring and was cursed when he put it on. He asked Harry about the curse and he was able to honestly say he had not been warned about that.

The Order hunted down the spirit of Voldemort who had not been able to reintegrate using Cedric's blood. He had exploded causing boiling potion to spray over the entire region. Pettigrew dying of blood loss due to his severed hand. They found him at Malfoy manor when Draco betrayed him due to Lucius ordering him to kidnap Potter's child.

The Order invaded the Manor and what allies Malfoy had managed to gather fought fiercely but

eventually lost. The snake was held down with iron bands as the spirit of Voldemort was caged in a force spell. Harry was brought forward and chopped the snake head off and then used the sword to poke the spirit of Voldemort as it dissipated into the great beyond.

The students finished their schooling as the Order worked to clear the Ministry of its corruption. Good people like Amelia Bones becoming Minister helped. After graduation Harry began working on being an investment banker with his Goblin accounts manager. He made wise investments that gained them funds that he used to take care of his family and support his wife's political career in the Ministry.

Hermione worked hard in the DMLE as an investigator and barrister before becoming a judge and then Minister for Magic. Over the next 15 years she also had four more children with Harry before her fertility faded enough that a Prophylactic potion worked. They had been married in front of her parents and family in Saint Mary's at Crawley and proudly gave birth to Harry's son 9 months later. The five children had plenty of family available to help raise them.

Draco had become a good person and helped them clean up society. He met a muggle girl and married her. They adopted and ran a foster home for youth.

Neville and Ginny enjoyed a good life together as he became a major player on the Wizengamut, and eventual headmaster of Hogwarts after spending several decades as Herbology Professor. Ginny's career as an Auror was good but she eventually retired and became a mother.

Ron became professional Quidditch player and led his beloved Chudley Cannons to a second place finish in the World cup after a decade. He and the entire wizarding world almost passed out while the Cannon fans celebrated almost as spectacularly as they had when Voldemort had been destroyed. Any finish that wasn't dead last in the League considered a miracle of biblical proportions.

His wife Luna simply took it in stride as she took care of the house and children as well as the Quibbler, her magical animals, the fan club for Ron and her own spell research.

Dumbledore had been buried when the curse took him. His legacy as the greatest wizard ever eventually fading.
