Chapter 11
A/N – Sorry bout the short chapter, just wanted to get this bit out of the way!! I did however thanks to the kind review from MsBentleySnape, resist the temptation to have sev dancing to swan lake in his brand new tutu!!
The next morning, a rather sheepish looking Ron and Harry followed by Seamus, Neville and Sirius came to visit her.
“Hey guys.” She smiled. They all sighed, thankful that she was talking to them. “Look, I don’t blame any of you for what happened. I was the one who accepted the drink and you did nothing wrong. Now if you don’t mind Seamus, Neville, I’d like a word with these three before madam Pomfrey comes back.” They nodded and scampered in relief before she finished her sentence shouting get well messages from the doorway.
“What's wrong Mione?” Ron asked as they sat on her bed.
“Well first of all, I did something very stupid last night and I’m not proud of myself.” She looked at her hands.
“Hey, everyone gets drunk. It’s fine. We’ve all done it.” Sirius smiled.
Hermione took a deep breath.
“Not while your five weeks pregnant you haven’t.” She said, barely a whisper.
“What?” They asked in unison with faces frilled with shock.
“You heard. I’m having a baby and I endangered its life last night and I feel awful.” She looked down.
“HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?” Ron shouted as she began to cry.
“Ron, calm down.” Sirius scolded him while Harry took Hermione’s hand and stroked it, soothing the distressed woman. “Well is it ok?” He asked smiling down at her.
Hermione nodded stroking her stomach.
“WHAT? Your just gonna be all smiles?” Ron exploded.
“We said, calm down.” Sirius growled while standing aside from the group.
“I won’t bloody calm down Sirius. Who’s the father Hermione? I think we have the right to know.” Ron fumed.
“Ron, we have no right to know and as her friends, we should be happy for her and give her our support when she needs it.” Harry glared at the red haired boy.
“It’s ok Harry.” Hermione patted his arm. “He has every right to ask. The truth is that I have been seeing someone. We only did it once and there was a mix up with the contraceptive potion. I ended up pregnant and I’m keeping it.” She didn’t want to tell them that her baby was conceived from rape because sooner or later the father would have to come out and they would put two and two together and kill Severus. They’d probably guess when her pale skinned child with raven hair and a preference for black, billowing robes ended up in Slytherin anyway. She mused to herself.
“Does he know about the baby? Is he going to marry you?” Ron asked.
“Contrary to what you believe Ronald, a woman doesn’t have to be married to raise a child.” Hermione smiled.
“In the Wizarding world they do. You’ll be shunned and become an outcast Mione.” He looked sorry. “That’s why I’m so upset. I care about you. You’re like a sister to me and I can’t stand the thought of anyone hating you because of this. I’m happy for you, I really am, but you don’t know what this society will treat you like.” He cleared his throat and looked at her. “Does this mean that he doesn’t want to marry you?”
“Well we never talked about it. We split up just before I found out that I was pregnant. He knows about the baby but we haven’t had time to talk about it.” She pulled the blankets up around herself. “We’ll be fine. It’ll have three brilliant uncles and a mother who loves it very much and that’s all we’ll need.” The boys sat either side of her. “Anyway, you should know by now that I don’t care what people think and I'll raise he or she to think the same.”
“Hermione, I think that you’re making a mistake. What about your education? What about university?” Ron reasoned.
“Well I thought that I could still continue with it. I’ll have a word with the headmaster and work something out and there are lots of mothers who still learn.” She looked out of the window and sighed. “I know its not the most ideal situation and I dread to think of what my father will say but there’s no way I am killing this baby for my own selfish reasons.”
“Well I suppose I am looking forward to being the best uncle in the world.” Ron grinned.
“Hey!” Harry gave him a shove. “I’m the famous Harry Potter. It’s going to like me better.” He joked back.
Sirius smiled and gave Hermione a hug. She looked at the people surrounding her and realised that she had the best friends anyone could ask for. The next day, she told Ginny and was surprised to find the girl ecstatic, suggesting that she and Harry could baby-sit together.
