Hermione sat in the gardens at Remus' house. She was spending the weekend with him. That man was doing wonders for her, he really was. Hermione had figured she would move in with him once school was finished until she was able to find her own place. She felt bad though, because Tonks was causing problems. Well, she felt that Hermione was causing problems. She was jealous because Remus took a huge role in her own personal life. She knew she had to talk to Tonks. It wasn't like she was falling in love with Remus because he reminded her of Sirius, because if Tonks believed that then she was just stupid.
Hermione heard a soft pop and turned around to see Harry in the garden. She smiled at him and he walked towards her. With a sigh he sat down on the ground next to her. She turned to him. "How are things at Hogwarts?" She asked, knowing that things were a mess, which was why she wasn't there.
Harry frowned. "Ron has told Lavender and the Patil twins about you, so naturally, the entire school knows now… I tried to do some damage control, but it didn't do much good."
Hermione frowned; she knew this day was going to come. She couldn't hide her baby from the world forever. She ran her fingers through her bushy mane, sighing. "I suppose it's fine. At least I don't have to tell anyone now. And Ron, well, he's just being a git." She paused, before turning to face Harry, looking into his beautiful green eyes. "I'm sorry you're friendship is practically ruined. It's entirely my fault. I never wanted this to happen."
Harry moved closer to Hermione before pulling her into his arms. "Listen, Mione, you're my best friend. And I'll always look out for you. I know we have our ups and downs, and you want to murder me most of the time, but that's the beauty of it. We have to work hard at our relationship, which proves that we deserve to have each other. Nothing ever comes easy, and this is proof of that. Ron, well, if he wants to be a git, then let him. Nothing will make me turn away from you. You're like my sister, we both have Muggle roots and we both love the same people. No matter what, I'll stand by you."
Hermione sniffled, and brushed away the tears that had been forming in her eyes. She leaned into Harry, closing her eyes. "Hum to me Harry, please." She said, wishing to hear his soothing voice. Harry nodded and then began to hum the tune of a lullaby. It was beautiful, and it always made Hermione feel better. They sat like this for ages, just enjoying the peace and quiet of the garden.
Suddenly, Hermione let out a gasp, her hand flying to her stomach. Alarmed, Harry sat up. "What's wrong? Hermione are you alright? Is it the baby?" He asked, panic evident in his voice.
Hermione smiled, and shook her head. "Harry, he just kicked! Eridanus kicked. Here, feel him." She grabbed Harry's hand and placed it on her stomach.
After a few minutes, Harry beamed. "Wow, Mione, he's certainly got a good kick. He's going to be a great Quidditch player someday."
Hermione laughed and shook her head, "I don't think so Harry. He'll be into books and learning, not sports and girls…"
It was Harry's turn to laugh then. "That depends. If he takes after his father, he'll love being outdoors and all the wild things that come with it."
Hermione laughed, and then looked at Harry. She was contemplating whether she should tell him.
"So, Harry, I've decided what I'm going to do once school is finished." Hermione stated, waiting to see his reaction.
Harry simply nodded for her to continue. He knew she was upset that she wasn't helping him do all these missions with Dumbledore, but she knew they were almost finished, and that the war would be over soon.
Hermione took a deep breath. "I want to work in the Ministry."
Harry's eyes widened in surprise. He wasn't expecting that. "That's great Mione! I do too, I think I want to be an Auror or maybe work in some other department. It depends. What do you want to do?"
Hermione grimaced. "I want to work in the Department of Mysteries."
Harry frowned, immediately knowing where this was going. "Hermione, no! I won't let you do that to yourself. No. No. No. No."
Hermione felt her eyes well up with tears. "But Harry, you don't understand..."
Harry growled. "Oh trust me, I understand. You can't bring him back Hermione. And it would be pointless to try. So no! I won't let you do that to yourself."
Hermione shook her head. "Listen to me Harry! I think I can bring him back, besides where's the harm in me trying. I mean, I'm sure it's all just-"
Harry cut her off, "Listen to yourself Hermione. He's dead, he isn't coming back. Please, just don't."
"But Harry, I still see him, I talk to him. These visions I'm having, they're real. They must mean something!"
Harry looked at her sceptically. "Visions? The Hermione I know doesn't believe in such nonsense. You're hallucinating, and that's understandable. But Hermione, that doesn't make it real. I just don't want to see you waste away your life pining for something that might not even happen. Please, please consider doing something else."
Hermione shook her head. "This is what I want to do Harry, I want to work with the Veil. Please, as my friend, don't try to stop me, just support me."
Harry stood and walked towards the house, but stopped and turned to face her. "Fine."
Hermione stood up and followed him. She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Please, Harry, I have to do this, I have to try. Please try and understand."
Harry looked at her. "I can't understand. But I won't stop you." He pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back, happy for the comfort.
They went inside for dinner. Hermione knew Harry was still mad, but she let it go. She couldn't afford to lose him as a friend, not now.
