Chapter Fourteen: March Matches, and March Choices.

March was hetic, as Hermione found out. Remus wife was running around with her head chopped off. She was starting to show signs of being a mother to be. Of course Remus was very happy about what was happening and let everyone know that he was going to be e foe for his wife and child.
“ I think that it’s great,” Hermione told him when he had said this for the thousandth time.
“ I know, I’ve never been a daddy before and now that I’m going to be one. I just don’t know what to do, besides telling the world that I’m here.”

Hermione laughed at this and then departed leaving proud father to his own thoughts. Ivy appeared in the Entrance Hall not looking like she was a few weeks pregnant, of course neather did Hermione, but she knew that would all change. Hermione continued to train with her sword and soon she became good enoug pra practice with Harry.
“ Hermione why is Lucius wife here?” He asked.
“ Because tark ark Lord wants her dead.” Harry looked at her and guessed that she must have done something to get him mad.

“ Do you think that she will be safe, I mean he has the ability to find a person.” Hermione looked at him, and knew that he was talking about his parents.
“ Don’t you trust Dumbledore?” Harry snorted. He hadn’t told her or Ron about the Prophacy that involved him and Voldemort. After last year he hadn’t trust Dumbledore at all, but around Hermione he would lie.
“ I trust him, but I don’t trust Voldemort.”

Hermione gave him a long look and then headed back inside. She decided to head back to her quarters and put her sword away. She didn’t want to think about what she had to do right now, and with a dose of Dreamless Sleep Potion she fell right to sleep. Meanwhile Voldemort discovered that Lucius wife was not at work. He summoned Wormtail.
“ What happened to Mrs. Malfoy?” He spat.
“ I don’t know master,” he whispered. He was ed med more then ever. He waited to see what Voldemort would do.
“ I want to find her and kill her. And you know what happens if I don’t get my way.” Wormtail nodded and then Voldemort pulled his wand out. “ Curcio.” Wormtail screamed in pain and five minutes later he was removed from the curse and told that he could leave.

Hermione and Snape went to the match against Hufflepuff. They sat next to Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall.
“ Hello Mrs. Snape,” McGonagall called when she had sat down.
“ Hello Professor, how are you?”
“ Fine, and how is the future student of ours?” Hermione laughed at what she had said. She sometimes loved this women’s sense of humor.
“ Fine.” Professor McGonagall was about to ask her another question, but then all attention was diverted by the start of the match.

“ Welcome to the second game of the season Gryffindor Vs. Hufflepuff,” said a Hufflepuff that looked like he was in his 2nd year. They watched the balls being released and the game started. “ Gryffindor in possestion taken by Chaser Ginny Weasley. As you may well know this is her first year as Chaser and her second year playing Quidditch.” Hermione watched Ginny take the Quaffle towards the Hufflepuff side. She ducked to avoid Susan Bones and scored the first goal of the game. The Gryffindors cheered, and the Hufflepuffs bood.
“ And Ginny scores for Gryffindor they are up 10-0.” Susan Bones took the Quaffle and the Gryffindor players zoomed to the other side of the field.
“ Hufflepuff has pulled a strong front this year.” Professor Sprout told them. “ I know that they have a good chance of winning.”

Hermione had to agree with her, but just as Susan was about to score Angalina Spinnet took the Quaffle and they zoomed back across the pitch. This continued for twenty minutes, Hermione was amazed that the Gryffindors were able to hold their own. Soon it was 50-20, and the Hufflepuffs were getting excited about the prospect of winning if only their new Seeker could find the Snitch. Suddenly Harry dived forward and was joined by the Hufflepuff Seeker as well. Harry gave an extra spirt of speed and caught the Snitch, Gryffindor had and and soon the pitch emptied of people.

Snape allowed the Hermione to go and celabrate with the Gryffindors. When she entered Gryffindor tower the students went silent.
“ Hello,” she called. The Gryffindors looked stone faced at her, but Harry came forward and gave her a plate of food.
“ Hello Hermione, why don’t you join us.” Hermione smiled at him.
“ Thanks.” And soon the Gryffindors went back to their celibaration.

The next day Hermione had Defense Against the Dark Arts, Advance Transfiguration, and Advance Potions. Madam Pomfrey had given her something that would help with her morning sickness and when she took it that morning she felt much better. She decided to give the nurse a thank you when she got around to it. When they entered Professor Lupin’s class he had them reading out of their books and writing notes on what they had read. Simple enough for her, but she knew that a lot of the students wanted to know more about defeating these creatures.

When the bell rang they headed to Advance Transfiguration talking about the lesson.
“ I thought that it was to easy,” Harry complained. “ I thought that we would be blocking curses and things like that.” Hermione shot him a warning look; she still remembered Professor Umbridge and her verson of Defense Against the Dark Arts. When they arrived Professor McGonagall had them turning their friends into different objects. She didn’t want Hermione to do anything that might hurt the baby, and she was grateful for it.

By the time lunch came around the Potion had worn off and she had to return to her quarters for another dose. When she entered Snape was getting things ready for the class that Hermione would be taking.
“ Coming for your dose?” Snape asked. Hermione nodded and taking the vial she drank it and at once felt its effects. Snape conjured lunch and they ate in silence. Hermione had a lot of things on her mind, and even though she wanted to tell him what she was thinking, she didn’t think that she could put into words how she was feeling.

When lunch was over they both headed down to Potions. Hermione hoped thats tis time she could do a Potion and not have to worry about throwing up. Snape unlocked the door and entered, leaving it open so that his students could enter.
“ So are you hoping for a boy or a girl?” Hermione asked him as he put his sheets of parchment down. Her husband looked at her surprised by the question.
“ Is it really that important.” Hermione nodded.
“ To me.”
“ Well a boy,” he replied. Hermione smiled thinking that all men wanted a son that they could spend time together. Hermione wanted a girl, but right now she decided that she didn’t care as long as it was healthy. She had never had a child before and this was something that was new to both of them. Soon the class entered and Hermione had to set down.
“ Today class we are making a Heat Potion, it’s desined to warm you up when it’s cold outside. Now get your things out and I will unlock the cabinet so that you can get the other ingredience.” He went over to the long black cabinet and tapped it once with his wand. It opened and the students took the things that they needed. He watched them to make sure that they didn’t take anything that they weren’t suppose to. They returned and got to work at once. Hermione for the first time in a month was able to pay attention, when the class was over in which Hermione got her potion right again, Snape awarded Gryffindor twenty points. Harry guessed that he was just being nice.

When the bell rang they left and Hermione with a motion of her husbands hands joined them heading up to the Great Hall for dinner.
“ So how are you feeling?” Harry asked. Hermione who was eating her roast chicken looked at him.
“ Fine, the potion is working like a charm.”
“ I’m glad to hear that,” he told her. And they both returned to their food. Meanwhile Voldemort was still mad that he didn’t have his hand on Mrs. Malfoy.
“ Is Lucius nearly out of Azkaban?” He asked Bellatrix. She nodded.
“ We got him out last night,” she told him. “ All we need now is that stupid Mudblood wife of his.” Voldemort smiled and nodded. One thing was for sure irrgorance was bliss.

Word got around quickly that Lucius Malfoy had escaped from Azkaban. Snape knew that he was back with the Dark Lord, and he praied that his friend would make the right choice. Meanwhile a Ravenclaw recruited by Voldemort saw Mrs. Malfoy; he stunned her and brought her to Voldemort. Now it was time for Malfoy to make that choice once and for all.

A/N: Malfoy makes his choice, is it the right one or the wrong one. Got to wait and see. Also Hermione’s powers increase as March ends.
