The Greatest Gift

Hermione was preparing herself mentally for her meeting with Harry and Ron, Ginny was coming along for emotional support. The time had come for her to tell them that she was carrying the child of one of their worst enemies, it wouldn’t be easy and she didn’t think they would be as understanding about it as they were about the wedding. It had been Ginny’s idea to go to The Leaky Cauldron because she figured it would be too boisterous and crowded for anyone to catch onto their discussion.

“Here they come, are you ready Hermione?” Ginny asked patting Hermione’s back enthusiastically.

Ron and Harry spotted the two girls and headed their way, Hermione grimaced at this, telling Harry and Ron was farthest from how she wanted to spend a Saturday night. “Ginny I’m not…” It was too late; they were at the table now. There was no backing out.

Ron and Harry slid in the booth across from Hermione and Ginny. “Hey you guy, what’s going on?” Harry asked inquisitively.

“Actually, Ginny and I brought you here because we had some news for the two of you. Well, I have news for the two of you that is.” Hermione stated coyly.

“Good or bad ‘Mione?” Ron asked.

“That all depends on you and Harry’s perception of the circumstance.”

“Well go on Hermione, tell us then.” Harry said urging her to go on.

“Well…umm…” Ginny silently supported Hermione by squeezing her hand under the table, “I’m pregnant.” Hermione closed her eyes, waiting for the barrage of questions and anger. Instead she heard a loud thud. When Hermione opened her eyes she saw that Ron had fainted. “Ron can be quite the drama queen.” Hermione thought to herself.

Ron came to only moments later, crimson with anger. “Hermione are you daft, you couldn’t possibly keep it.”

“Ron, calm down.” Harry tried to coax.

Ron had only just begun. “There’s no way you would be able to take care of it, you’re way too young. To top all of that off, it belongs to that overgrown bat you call a husband.” He looked around for support to his ranting, but he was only met with condemning eyes, Hermione wouldn’t even look at him. Though it was what she’d expected, his words still cut her deep. She slid out of the booth and stormed out of the pub. Harry ran after her.

“RONALD WEASLEY!” Ginny bellowed. She seemed more and more like Molly with everyday.

Ron couldn’t bring himself to meet her glare; he was too ashamed of himself.

“Hermione came to you when she needed you to understand her the most and you shunned her! How surly and selfish could you possibly be?”

“I honestly didn’t mean to hurt her Gin.” Ron said sorely.

Ginny stared at him searchingly, “You’re jealous aren’t you?”

Ron looked away from his all too wise younger sister, he was embarrassed. “Ron you have to get over it, you know how she feels about you, and you have lavender now.”

“I know Gin, but what am I suppose to do now.”

“You need to find her now and apologize for what you said, I’m sure she’ll understand.”
-----------------------------

“Hermione wait up!” Harry shouted after her.

Hermione stopped and waited for him to catch up.

Harry stared at her trying sum up her mood so he could choose his words wisely, she was obviously livid. “You know he didn’t really mean what he said.”

“That doesn’t justify what he said back there Harry.”

“Well, you also know he doesn’t really think through what he’s going to say before he says it.” Harry said pointedly.

“Harry, believe it or not, I’m actually elated about becoming a mother. You just wouldn’t understand how quick you develop feelings for your child; I don’t even fully understand it yet. All I know is nothing in this world would make me happier than to have the two of you support that.”

“I understand Hermione. You’re married now; I expected you to have children eventually, it’s just a little earlier than we all expected. Ron knows this too, he just hasn’t come too terms with it yet.” Hermione smiled. ”How far along are you anyway?”

“A little over a month. That reminds me, I have an appointment with Madame Pomfrey tomorrow, I forgot to go last week after Severus brought me to my room. She’s doing a sonogram.”
---------------------------
Hermione walked through the door; she could see Severus sitting on the couch sipping brandy. He wasn’t wearing his robes tonight; instead he was wearing a black button up shirt and a pair of black slacks. The atmosphere was warm but dim. She moved a little closer to get a better look at him; the way the light from the fire struck Severus made his features look remarkable, he was indeed a very handsome man.

“Hello Severus.” Hermione said demurely.

“How did it go?” he asked, wanting to make small talk so Hermione would stay with him for awhile.

Hermione sat next to him; he could smell the vanilla scent of her hair. ”It went just the way I thought it would… terribly.”

“Let me guess, was it Weasley?” Severus asked amused.

“Yes, but he’ll come around.” They sat in hush for a few moments. Hermione had been dying to ask that morning when he kicked her out of his room, it was either now or never. “Severus, may I ask you something?”

“Hmmm?” he answered, he was a little spaced out, the brandy was doing its job.

“What happened that morning?”

“What do you mean?” he was bewildered.

“Why did you make me leave?”

“Reality.”

Hermione didn’t know what he meant by this, but she also didn’t want to push the matter any farther, so she let it go.

Severus saw the puzzled look on her face. “I assure you Hermione that I didn’t really want you to leave.” He then kissed her on her forehead.

Before Hermione could deliberate what she was going to do, she kissed Severus back on the lips, it was only a peck, but she could tell he had been taken aback by it, she was embarrassed by her action.

Severus could see the discomfited look in her eyes, so he kissed her again and this time, it was no peck. He kissed her deeply and breathlessly. He then slid his hand up Hermione’s shirt and caressed her breast, paying most of the attention to her nipple. Her back arched at this. Severus laid Hermione across the couch, simultaneously spreading her thighs apart and moving in between them.

Liquid heat pooled between Hermione’s thighs. She moaned as Severus rubbed his erection on her thigh.
He slid her panties off and pulled her skirt up. Severus basked in the feel of Hermione’s soft curls as he slid two fingers between her slick folds. He slid both fingers into her dripping quim, concurrently massaging her clit as he stroked with his fingers. Hermione’s back arched deeply as her eyes rolled back. Severus could feel her contract around his fingers and knew she was reaching orgasm, so he removed his fingers. Hermione groaned, she couldn’t hide the disappointment of being denied her climax.

“Your room or mine?” Severus whispered in Hermione’s ear seductively.

“Mine.” Hermione whispered back.

Severus swept Hermione up into his arms and carried her off to her bedroom. He set her on the bed and began too undress himself. Hermione watched mesmerized by his grace. Severus was perfect to her in every way imaginable.

He saw how she was admiring him, so he undressed slower. When Severus was finished, he edged toward Hermione and began to undress her too. Hermione moved his hand, it was her turn to tease Severus now.
Leisurely, she inched her skirt down, then unbuttoned her blouse. Severus was enticed to ravish Hermione on the spot, she was so alluring and sultry. She beckoned to him with her eyes.

Severus planted a trail of gentle kisses on Hermione as he made his way south. When he reached her core, he licked steadily, indulging himself in her taste, she was so sweet, he could have stayed there forever. He moved back up to kiss Hermione.

Hermione could taste her essence on his lips. Severus then took one of her nipples in his mouth, tracing small circles with his tongue causing Hermione to whimper, Severus loved the sounds she made.

Severus had been pleasuring Hermione all night, and she wanted to make sure she satisfied him too. She sat up and pulled Severus onto his knees along with her. Hermione had never performed fellatio before, but she was sure it couldn’t be too difficult. Hermione bent over and licked the weeping tip of Severus’ erection, it was salty, but she enjoyed the taste . Severus moaned, startling Hermione, she was afraid she’d done something wrong. Severus stroked her head urging her to continue. Hermione took all of Severus into her mouth this time, moving back and forth while simultaneously lightly licking. Hermione was taking to fellatio quite easily.

Severus couldn’t take it anymore, he had to have Hermione and now was the time. He picked Hermione up and tossed her onto her back, then entered her in one swift motion. Hermione threw her head back, the mixture of pleasure and pain was exquisite to her. Severus thrust in and out in rhythmic motions. Severus was picking up speed, he was nearing his climax.

Hermione wrapped her legs around Severus so that she was now straddling him. She started to ride him but it took her a minute to find her rhythm, so Severus had to help her a little. Severus rubbed Hermione’s clit, bringing her over the edge. Severus could feel her creaming and contracting around him, bring him over the edge also. Hermione rode both of their orgasms. Severus emptied himself deep inside her.

They were both spent, and fell asleep in their intimate embrace. Before falling asleep, Severus whispered “I love you” into Hermione’s hair, then kissing her on top of her head.
------------------------
Hermione and Severus headed to the hospital wing for Hermione’s appointment with Madame Pomfrey. It took a lot of begging and coaxing to get him to agree, but he finally let up. “Madame Pomfrey, Are you here?” Hermione called.

“Yes dear, I’ll be out in a moment. While you’re waiting, would you please change into the gown I left out for you, then lie on the cot.” Madame Pomfrey shouted back.

Hermione did as she was told. Severus sat in the chair next to the bed. “Severus, I’m so excited.” She said.

Severus didn’t answer, he just held her hand as they waited.

Madame Pomfrey came to the bed and said a quick charm, and a screen appeared in midair. Hermione would’ve never believed this would happen in million years. She was too awestruck to say anything, silent tears of joy streamed down her cheek. Severus kissed her cheek.

Madame Pomfrey was the first to speak up, “Congratulations, it’s…”

Hermione wasn’t listening anymore, she just wanted to get to her friends to tell them the news.
------------------------
She dashed to the great hall, she couldn’t hide her exhilaration . Hermione found her usual seat, she was grinning from ear to ear.

“Hermione what’s going on, what did Madame Pomfrey say?” Harry asked excitedly.

“I’m not having a baby…” Her friends gave her perplexed looks, “I’m having twins!”
