POTTER AND GRANGER: FIRST APEARANCE AS A COUPLE WITH LOVECHILD ON THE WAY

They started as best friends and cheated on their partners in the affair of the year… Now as we all knew but had never seen before, their lovechild is on the way. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were shown yesterday afternoon as they visited Hogsmeade and had a small shopping trip and then met up with their old Hogwarts friend Luna Lovegood. The people who saw them said to the Prophet that the couple looked relaxed and happy as they visited the Honeydukes and then the Three Broomsticks, there is information about the couple having visited Hogwarts School first. It’s at least admirable for the two to stroll around the Wizarding World when everyone knows that they cheated on the youngest Weasleys and now expect their lovechild. (Full Story and more pictures pages 2-10)

Hermione took a deep breath and rubbed her belly with her free hand as the other was holding the newspaper, she could feel Aurora kicking inside of her but she tried to calm down, she knew the last thing she needed was to get overwhelmed and risk both her and the baby’s wellbeing for all this in her seventh month.

Harry entered the room with a tray of food in his hands, the smile that was plastered on his handsome features was gone the moment he saw Hermione wasn’t just awake but also with a newspaper in her hand.

‘I though you would be asleep,’ Harry said as he placed the tray on the mattress gently and stole a kiss from Hermione who let the newspaper close to the tray and tried to sat up on the bed, Harry helped her and stole another kiss before he could take the newspaper in his own hands.

‘The owl was tapping on the window and I woke up,’ Hermione said with a small frown as she watched her fiancé’s face changing from worried to furious, he tossed the newspaper away and huffed as he rubbed his temples with his hands, Hermione immediately placed a hand on his arm.

‘What now… we’re not supposed to get out of our house? If it wasn’t for us none would be able to get out of their houses with Voldemort in power… or don’t I remember correctly how the community was like when you had taken the potion and looked like Bellatrix and we went to Gringorts?’ Harry exclaimed with venom in his voice as his hand kept rubbing his temples. He knew the newspapers would act like this today or at least the Prophet would but he hated all this, he was an auror not a celebrity, he didn’t want to have to deal with things like this, he wanted himself, Hermione and Aurora to be safe and untouched by all this, why did people care about him and Hermione so much? None had seemed to care when the two were off in a cold tent, struggling through every day…

‘Oh Harry… we know how people are… come on,’ Hermione said soothingly as she rubbed on Harry’s hand with affection, she took one of his hands in hers and kissed his palm, making him nod and then smile as he looked at her and her belly.

‘I know…’ Harry said and smiled at her, feeling slightly better from her touch and soothing words. ‘I just… Sometimes, I wish I could just take both of us away from all this…’ Harry said and Hermione smiled and nodded her head as he sat close to her.

‘First, it’s not the both of us anymore, if you want us to go away right now, Rory is to be with us…’ Hermione started and Harry chuckled and nodded his head as he kissed first Hermione’s lips and then her belly with love. ‘And secondly… we can always have a small trip before the wedding, if this is what you want; I’m still able to floo around Europe…’ Hermione said with seduction in her voice, Harry beamed and kissed her again, this time lingering in the kiss.

‘We’ll see if the house is alright in two weeks and yeah… maybe we could have a pre-wedding honeymoon, since after the wedding you’ll almost be due to have Rory, and after her birth, Hell will break loose with a tiny, poo-maker who will be crying twenty-for seven, we could arrange a small trip, you’re so bright, ‘Mione!’ Harry said enthusiastically, all the worries and anger aside for now, Hermione laughed and slapped his arm.

‘Our baby won’t be a poo-maker!’ Hermione said with a laugh and then rubbed her round belly. ‘Did you hear how daddy is calling you, princess? Just remember those nicknames when you will be teaming up with him against me,’ Hermione said as she looked down at her round belly. Harry’s heart warmed at the sight, he loved Hermione endlessly, he knew and cared for her since she was a child and now having her carrying their own child meant the world to him. Harry couldn’t resist and started kissing Hermione again, coaxing a moan from her, Hermione pushed him slightly away after a moment.

‘I love you,’ Hermione whispered as the couple looked each other in the eyes; Harry smiled and caressed Hermione’s side and belly.

‘I love you more,’ Harry said and that moment Hermione’s stomach growled and Harry felt a small kick beneath his palm, the couple chuckled and gave a last peck as Harry placed the tray closer to them.

‘She’s hungry, isn’t she?’ Harry asked and Hermione laughed and nodded her head as she patted her belly. Hermione frowned and pushed away the cup of coffee Harry had prepared for himself.

‘Ew, take it away from me, it stinks.’ Hermione said as she handed the cup to Harry with one hand while the other closed her nose and mouth. Harry smiled and nodded as he placed the coffee on his nightstand. The tray was full of other breakfast goodies like pumpkin juice and fresh fruits, pancakes and tea for the couple.

‘Coffee can’t stink, ‘Mione,’ Harry said as he moved away and took a sip from his drink. Hermione glared at him.

‘But I can always vomit in your plate,’ Hermione warned and Harry frowned playfully.

‘Little tantrum maker…’ Harry murmured as he rubbed his hand on Hermione’s belly when she smiled sheepishly.

‘I know… I can be a right pain sometimes with the pregnancy, right?’ Hermione asked and Harry smiled and took a bite from a strawberry.

‘You can always be a pain, my love,’ Harry said playfully and Hermione gaped at him for a moment, she snapped out of her stupor and threw a berry at Harry who ducked and caught it with his mouth thanks to his seeker reflexes, moaning playfully in delight and chuckling as Hermione slapped his arm again.

Harry and Hermione were having an appointment with Minerva in Hogwarts for the last details of the wedding reception that would take place there and the couple also wanted to give the invitations to Hagrid, Neville and Minerva. Helena Granger had decided the invitations and Hermione groaned when she saw them for the first time, after her blissful morning with Harry.

‘Mum! This is too much!’ Hermione complained as she twisted the invitation in her hand, looking the back of it. Helena Granger smiled and kissed her daughter’s cheek as she pointed at the two intertwined “H”s that the invitations were having, symbolizing the first letter of hers and Harry’s names.

‘Oh Hermione… I have only a child, you, and the invitations are beautiful, come on, don’t make me sad.’ Helena said and Hermione groaned as her mother always used the “mother with a child” excuse to cover up whatever she did. ‘Plus, your father and I are grown people, who knows for how-

‘—long you’ll be alive to see me happy and be proud of me, I know, mom, I know!’ Hermione finished her mother’s well made words she always used to have her way with something. Helena beamed at her daughter and hugged her.

‘I’m so glad you like the invitations,’ Helena said and Hermione sighed and shook her head, she had to admit that the invitations were nice indeed, maybe the two “H”s were too much for her taste and the state the whole world was about her and Harry being together and ready to get married but Hermione had to admit that the invitations were nice with expensive paper and delicate letters writing the small paragraph for the guests and a nice bow sealing the small envelope.

‘So… where’s Harry?’ Helena asked and Hermione smiled and let the invitation on the small pile on the table.

‘He went to the ministry as to take some last minute documents for our wedding at Hogwarts, you see there was needed a kind of license from the office of magical events and ceremonies in magical places that we need to give to Minerva, a lot of paperwork for an evening with friends…’ Hermione said as she shook her head dismissively, Helena smiled and nodded her head.

‘Don’t start crying again, love, but did you decide what you’ll do with the Weasleys?’ Helena asked and Hermione sighed and nodded her head, it was something both she and Harry had tried to avoid but she knew she wouldn’t be able to avoid it for much longer.

‘We’ll send them an invitation, but we’ll also send a letter to them, to all of them, we know Ginny and Ron are furious and Molly asked of us to keep distance from the family but we know them for so long and people like George and Fleur and Bill have nothing to do with all this, of course we understand if they want to side up with their family but we love them, mom, and we hope to see at least a few of them at the wedding.’ Hermione said sadly and took a deep breath as not to cry for all this again. Helena nodded her head and kissed her daughter’s head with love.

‘I know sweetie, I know, I’m sure you’ll find a way with all of them,’ Helena said and Hermione smiled at her mom and nodded her head. That moment an apparition sound was heard and Harry showed up with a smile on his face and a parchment in his hand.

‘Ready to go to Hogwarts?’ Harry asked and Hermione smiled and nodded her head as Helena smiled and greeted Harry with a kiss on the cheek, Harry smiled and hugged Hermione’s mom by the shoulders. Hermione smiled even wider as she saw her best friend and fiancé being so natural with her mother, Hermione was happy to see Harry acting around her family like a true member of it.

‘Yep, I’m ready,’ Hermione finally answered and Harry smiled and let go of Helena as to hug her daughter, Hermione smiled at Harry back and shared a peck that made her mom sigh happily.

‘I’m so glad to see you together and happy, my lovebirds. It’s time for me to go, call me anytime if you need anything,’ Helena said as she gripped her handbag and kissed both her daughter and soon to be son-in-law on the cheeks as she caressed her daughter’s belly before she could leave for her work. Harry and Hermione looked at each other with humor in their eyes.

‘Lovebrids?’ they both asked in unison and then burst in laugher as they moved close to the fireplace and left together for Hogwarts School.

When they arrived in the Headmistress’ office, Minerva McGonagall was already there, waiting for them with a smile on her face. Minerva stood up and smiled at the couple as she greeted them.

‘Welcome here,’ She said warmly as she gestured for them to sit down and the two did as they were told with smiles on their faces. A tray with tea was already served on the desk and Minerva purred tea for the three of them. Harry glanced at the portraits above the desk and grinned as he noticed professor Dumbledore’s eyes being half-opened, the old headmaster grinned back just for an instant an then closed his eyes more. Harry’s grin was gone and a sober expression was spread on his face when he looked next to Dumbledore’s portrait and saw professor Snape looking down at him with his eyes open and his face solemn. Minerva and Hermione saw Harry looking up and Minerva spoke.

‘Is there anything you’d like to share with the couple, professor Snape?’ Minerva asked and Snape kept looking at Harry before he glanced at Hermione who gave a small smile at the portrait.

‘The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.’ Snape said soberly as he looked at Harry. ‘I’m glad you had the courage to fight for what you deserve, you don’t have just your mother’s eyes after all.’ Snape said and Harry could only nod, he hadn’t spoken to the portrait in years and he wasn’t sure what to say to the man who made his life a living Hell but was also the one who made the most sacrifices after himself and Hermione. ‘Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight is said to be the only truth.’ Snape went on and then closed his eyes without further ado; Harry sighed and nodded his head, knowing Snape was right about many things, probably his feelings for Hermione included… Harry smiled as he felt Hermione’s hand in his, squeezing his hand with love, he returned the gesture and pecked the back of her hand as with his other hand took the parchment from his robes and gave it to McGonagall. Minerva took it from Harry’s hand, unfolded it and smiled after a minute.

‘Great,’ Minerva said and the couple smiled. ‘Now, we’re ready to have the wedding anytime you want,’ she said and smiled at the two young people who smiled back at her. ‘How’s the baby going?’ she asked when she placed the parchment in a drawer of her desk. Hermione smiled as Harry looked at her lovingly.

‘Not bad, I’m getting bigger and bigger.’ Hermione said and Minerva smiled and spoke.

‘You could look way bigger, you know,’ Minerva said and Hermione nodded as she knew it was the truth, to herself, she looked huge but even her healer had told her that she was having a smaller belly than the usual pregnant ladies but still, the baby was healthy and in the right measures so nothing was wrong with it.

‘Ms Granger always looked beautiful, no matter what,’ another voice was heard and this time both Harry and Hermione looked up at Dumbledore’s portrait with smiles on their faces, returning the smile Dumbledore’s figure already had on his face. ‘My beloved ones,’ Dumbledore said with a gentle smile that was returned from the couple. ‘So glad to see you together and with a little baby on the way.’ Dumbledore said and the couple smiled and nodded their heads.

‘It’s good to see you again, professor,’ Harry said with a smile and felt a small pang of pain when he remembered the days he doubted his professor and only Hermione was the one to keep him going and making him believe that Dumbledore indeed had cared… Harry also remembered Dumbledore back in that dream-like state he was in after Voldemort’s Avada, talking about only Hermione having helped him and kept him on the ground…

‘Many things have been heard about you…’ Dumbledore started and Hermione blushed and looked away for a moment. ‘But where there is love, there is pain, and I’m sure you both know this by now…’ Dumbledore said and the couple nodded, this time Harry squeezing Hermione’s hand reassuringly. ‘I’m glad you fought for what you believed in and that you believed in your love, you deserve it, after all, whenever you give your time, you are making a sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of love, and you have spent so much time for each other during all those years…’ Dumbledore ended his words with a smile and winked at Harry like he had done before, when he was alive.

‘Take care of each other, you deserve to be happy, don’t make mistakes that won’t be undone later on in your lives, keep fighting for what you want,’ the portrait figure said and smiled again before it could close its eyes and keep up pretending to be asleep.

When the two returned home they decided to do what they had postponed for so long. Harry brought a piece of parchment and ink with a pen as Hermione sat close to the dinner table and took the three objects, she would be the one to write down whatever they wanted to say as her handwriting was more delicate. The two looked at each with the parchment between them.

‘And now?’ Hermione asked and Harry sighed and took her free hand in his.

‘We say the truth.’

Dear Weasleys,

We both know that you don’t want to see or hear about us but we still consider you family and we love you very much. We know that we hurt you a lot; we know that some of you may be feeling betrayed and hurt; we know that Ron and Ginny probably hate us but we want you to know that we love you and that we apologize for all this pain that we have caused.

We fell in love with each other, we couldn’t stop or avoid it, we could only endure the consequences of our actions and we indeed suffer for being away from you, because you all are parts of our family. We are so sorry for hurting you but we hope that at least some of you can attend our wedding, if not as to give us your support at least come and try to give us a second chance.

After two Wars we all deserve some happiness, if you believe that you can forgive us for what we’ve done, we’ll be waiting for you at Hogwarts in a month and a half, we’re also sending you the invitation we sent to all our friends and family members.

We’re also hurt for the whole publicity that this situation has taken since it’s not just you and us involved in all this but an unborn child that has nothing to do with anything but we understand that this is probably an action of desperation and hurt from Ginny’s part, or at least, we hope it to be.

We love you

Harry and Hermione

Two weeks later, the couple was moving down the small street, leading to the graveyard of Godric’s Hollow. The village was quiet as the evening had followed a storm that had lasted up until a few hours ago. Everything was damp right now with the smell of fresh grass and ground filling their nostrils and relaxing them.

Harry and Hermione kept on moving, following the path from the apparition point to the small graveyard that held so many emotions and memories for them. Harry pushed the gate open and took Hermione’s hand as they both kept on moving inside the resting place. They had decided to first come here and see Harry’s parents and then go and see their brand new house that was finally ready for them. The couple was dressed in dark colored robes that prevented the cold from their bodies; however no cloth could help Harry’s heart that had frozen at the pain of this visit.

He had been visiting his parents ever since the war was over and he wanted to be here but that didn’t stop the pain, the memories, the emotions that took over him, only Hermione’s hand in his made things better, just like the first time, when they had came here in that snowy Christmas night, a few years ago.

They didn’t stop before Dumbledore’s mother and sister and they kept up until they found the graves they had come for.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death.

Such a small phrase that held so much meaning in it, he had almost conquered death, he had survived too many times to count and still, he felt the pain, he felt the desperation, the rejection and the anger. Harry sighed as he touched the grave of his mother with his bare hand, the stone being wet and cold from the rain. Hermione took her wand out of her pocket and conjured a large bouquet of roses, like she always did when the two visited the graveyard, once as friends and now as a couple.

Harry hadn’t visited his parents ever since he and Hermione had gotten together despite almost everyone. Harry smiled sadly as he guessed his mother would have scolded him if she was alive and he hadn’t seen her for so long, not letting her know that he and his best friend were to get married.

Harry smiled and took the flowers from Hermione and placed the bouquet before the two graves.

‘Mom, dad, I’m sorry for not coming sooner but many things have happened, I’m sure you’re already know about me and Hermione.’ Harry said quietly as he had kneeled close to the graves. Hermione’s hand was on his shoulder as she couldn’t bow or kneel before the graves in her condition. ‘We love each other and we don’t regret our baby being on the way, we tried way too hard to stop all this but after all, who are we to stop such power as love?’ Harry said and smiled sadly.

‘I’m sorry if you think that we hurt people close to us, people like Ron and Ginny and some others, it’s true we did but we, I have lost too many people to leave my love for Hermione to be lost as well.’ Harry said as he stood up and hugged Hermione from her side, one of his arms moving around her waist as the other moved around her belly, Hermione sniffed and hugged him back the best she could.

‘I guess it’s time for us to go and see our new house,’ Harry said after a moment as Hermione smiled and nodded her head.

‘Thank you, for having such a brave son,’ Hermione murmured as she looked at her dead in-laws’ graves. She wished she could talk with Mr. and Mrs. Potter, she wished she could have advices from her mother-in-law and she wished they could be there, watching her and Harry getting married. Hermione wished Sirius and Harry’s parents would be there to see Aurora being born and raised but all this was happening in an entire different level. They were there for them, they just couldn’t be seen.

The couple arrived at the house after a few minutes, they were hugged and in silence, enjoying the silence and the peace. They both beamed when they saw the new building standing proud for them to live in.

Externally the house looked brand new with a small front yard and two floors, the front was made by wood and it was painted in a nice shade of deep red, there was enough space for Aurora to play in the front and there were large windows, allowing them to see her from inside. Harry and Hermione pushed the small door of the garden open and moved close to the front door.

Harry was holding the key the ministry had sent them and the couple entered the house and gasped when they saw how beautiful it was with all the furniture and the colors they had chosen and now were set up by magic.

There was a large living room, joint by the dining area and the kitchen was nicely separated with a bench. The colors were soft crème and dark wood with a nice, sub shade of yellow and white details, it looked clean and sunny and modern and at the same time it looked classy and welcoming. There were big, white couches and nice furniture with dark wood and a nice, big fireplace was at the end of the living room for everyone to gather around it on the couches and it was big enough as to be used for the floo network that the house was connected with.

The kitchen was having matching colors with the living and dining room. Hermione and Harry hugged as they moved around the large room and examined the details. They moved in the study that was on the other side of the corridor and Hermione gasped and smiled as she saw the bookshelves waiting for her to fill them with books, there was dark wood here as well with nice red touches, making it a nice place for reading and having fun. The house was also allowing muggle devices to function as the couple had requested as they had both grown up in muggle houses and they liked muggle things like computers and the television.

Beneath the staircase there was a door leading to the small bathroom of the house. For being the “small” bathroom the room was quiet big with white and light blue tiles.

‘Oh my god, lets go and see Rory’s room.’ Hermione exclaimed and the couple moved up the stairs in a hurry, like two little children would run close to the Christmas tree for their presents. They were ready to check out their daughter’s room but the door of their own bedroom was opened so they couldn’t stop and looked inside.

The master bedroom was simply beautiful with a huge four poster bed and a nice dresser with a full length mirror by it’s side, rich curtains were hanging from the large windows, keeping most of the sunset’s light out, the room was made in beige and brown with crème details, the furniture were having rich wood and the carpet was seemingly soft and warm, there was a beautiful portrait of two lovers above the bed, showing a couple in love dancing in rhythms only they knew, the piece of art was beautiful as the figures were sketched with light brushes, not really showing two people in detail but rather the feeling of love that they radiated.

‘It’s so beautiful,’ Hermione said in a whisper as Harry wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck and shoulder lightly.

‘Isn’t it? I like the crème touches in the entire house, it make its look clean and happy.’ Harry said and Hermione nodded her head as she leaned into his touch.

‘We like happy, don’t we?’ Hermione said and Harry smiled and nodded his head as he kissed her again.

The two entered the room they longed more to see, leaving the master bedroom, it’s bathroom, the third bathroom and the two guestrooms for later. The room next to their own left the couple with huge smiles on their faces.

The baby room was as they remembered it in the store, but now the small clouds in the walls were moving slowly and small snitches were zooming through them. The two hens were replaced with a white and a ginger owl that flew above the crib slowly and there was a beautiful frame showing Harry and Hermione hugged with smiles on their faces from the end of their trainings on the nightstand by the crib. There were white curtains hanging from the large windows of the room and the place looked so happy. Harry couldn’t see the time for him and Hermione having their baby in here.

He smiled gently as he felt Hermione sobbing lightly, of course she would, this was too much for her and even if she didn’t have the hormones, Hermione always relieved some stress or emotional overwhelming with tears.

‘Rory will be so lucky,’ Hermione said with a smile through her tear as she hugged Harry who nodded and hugged her back, soothing her back with his hand. The couple shared a kiss as they remained in their daughter’s room.

‘I love both you and Rory very much,’ Harry said when the kiss was over and Hermione smiled and pecked his lips once again.

‘I love you and Rory even more, Harry,’ Hermione said and Harry smiled and hugged her tighter. This was a big day for him; it wasn’t just his visit to his parents’ graves after so long but also the start of his new life with the house being ready for them. It meant a lot to him to have this house here, rebuilt and new for him when it was here that Voldemort killed his parents all those years back, it meant the world to him to have the courage to live in a new house where he lost everything when he was a child and having his own child living here with the woman of his life.

They remained in the house for a little longer, making sure to have everything ready as they needed to move all their clothes and personal items the next day via magic from Harry’s house. The couple used the floor of their house for the first time and left.

When they got home, they both gasped as they found Ginny Weasley waiting for them with the invitation of the wedding and the letter they had sent with it, clenched in her first, her face was a mask of rage…
