Could It Be?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Fifth Month~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


\" They\'re going to try and take our babies.\" I said to him quietly, after waking up from a nightmare that I kept having night after night. It had been a month since I\'d been confined to my room.
\" I won\'t let that happen.\" He said.
\" You and what army? Geez, Baby they could--all the things they could do...\" I said. He sat next to me and held me close.
\" They\'re not going to do anything.\" He said. \" I won\'t let them.\"
\" They could put a curse on you.\" I said. He held me tightly, and kept reassuring me. He got up a little while later to go to class. I sat there with nothing to do. I started studying. \" See what you two have done now? I can\'t go to class, and your daddy is worried sick.\" I heard the entrance to our room open later that afternoon. Harry was in Divination, so I knew it must be Hermione. Ron was in class too.
\" Hey.\" She said, quietly.
\" Hi.\" I smiled.
\" Bored yet?\" She asked.
\" Yes.\" I said. \" How\'s Harry doing? He didn\'t want to leave earlier.\"
\" He\'s a mess, but he\'ll be ok.\" She said. \" Nightmares again?\"
\" Yes.\" I said. \" I can\'t keep the image out of my head. But at least now they don\'t get so worked up, or at least they don\'t for now.\"
\" Four more months, and you\'ll have them in your arms.\" She smiled.
\" If everything goes ok.\" I said.
\" He won\'t dare come on campus with Dumbledore here.\" She said, catching my thoughts.
\" Speaking of Dumbledore, he mentioned to Harry that he would like us to marry before the twins come.\" I said. \" And I wanted to ask you to be my maid of honor. You know the whole muggle tradition thing.\"
\" Yeah, they say if you don\'t follow them, then your marriage is doomed.\" She smiled.
\" Just like my parents.\" I said. I\'d gotten a message from my parents, they were separated, and getting a divorce. \" They\'re not together anymore.\"
\" I\'m sorry.\" She said.
\" Don\'t be.\" I said. \" I\'m not telling them about anything. I don\'t want them here.\" I told her. I paused. \" So will you?\" I smiled.
\" Of course I will.\" She smiled.
\" I think Harry\'s going to ask Ron. We talked about it.\" I said. \" He agreed to follow all the muggle and wizardry traditions.\"
\" He really loves you.\" She said.
\" I know.\" I said. \" I love him too.\"
\" I hope Ron and I end up like you two.\" She said.
\" You will.\" I smiled. \" I know it.\"
We got back to our tutoring, and Harry came in over an hour later. He immediately took to my side, and I snuggled up to him. Hermione left not long after, saying that her and Ron would be back later.
\" I love you.\" He said, quietly.
\" I love you too.\" I said. I closed my eyes, just taking in his scent, one that I was very familiar with and would know anywhere. That\'s when I felt it. I gasped.
\" What\'s wrong?\" Harry asked, just a little jumpy.
\" Give me your hand.\" I giggled.
\" What--\" I grabbed his hand, and pressed it on my belly. The twins were kicking. It didn\'t hurt, it was more of a ticklish kind of feeling. \" Oh my--\"
\" Four more months.\" I told him. We kissed.
