Chapter Eighteen: Six Weeks, and a Summons.

Severus winced, as Hermione happily bit into her meatloaf smothered in lime marmalade. She was drinking a glass of strawberry milk with it.

The rest of the staff was turning pale as Hermione devoured the concoction, with the exception of Albus, who had taken it upon himself, to try it as well. "Ah!" He exclaimed. "Hermione! You have impeccable tastes! This is delicious!" he said happily, spooning more of the marmalade onto his meatloaf.

Several of the staff stood stiffly, and left the room quickly.

"I know, it is good isn't it." Hermione said as she reached out to take the salt away from Severus, and salting her food.

"Um...Hermione...maybe this is why you have been sick...you know, the new food choices..." Severus flinched when Hermione swung around to glare at him.

"No it is not Severus!" she spat. "It is really good, even Albus likes it."

"Yep!" Albus said, happy to be in the conversation.

"Hermione..." Severus began, as she stood up.

"I am late for...well...I need to go to the library." Hermione said suddenly. "I need to look something up, I can't believe I didn't see it before!"

Hermione stood up sharply, and tilted. The room was spinning, wasn't it? "Severus..." Hermione muttered falling, the room turning black.

Hermione slowly opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings. She was laying on a stiff, thin bed, and covered by a white scratchy blanket. Turning her head, she saw Severus sitting next to her. "What am I doing in here?" she asked, causing him to jump slightly.

"You passed out," Severus said, taking her hand. "I was worried."

Hermione felt tears sting her eyes, "I'm sorry Severus, I didn't mean to worry you."

"Is she awake?" the stern voice of Madam Pomfrey rang through the room.

"Yes." Severus answered.

"Well Miss Granger, you gave us quite the scare." Madam Pomfrey scolded.

"Yes...I'm sorry." Hermione said.

"Well then, just give me a few moments, and I will find the reason as to why you fainted."

Madam Pomfrey raised her wand over Hermione's body, starting at her head. Her wand tip was glowing a steady orange, as it passed over her head, down her throat, over her chest, stomach, the tint changed slightly redder over her abdomen then back to orange the rest of her body. Madam Pomfrey marked on her chart, then muttered a different spell. This time she centered her attentions around her stomach and abdomen. The wand tip was a deep purple. Nodding her head knowingly, she marked this as well.

Turning to Hermione, she asked, "Miss Granger, when was your last menstrual period?"

Hermione's face paled, as she thought. "Um...it was the second week of last month, but I was always irregular."

"So you have not had your period this month, correct?" the mediwitch asked.

"Yes..." Hermione said softly, suddenly scared.

Severus, catching on paled.

"When you have intercourse, are you using protection?"

"Always." Severus answered, thinking hard.

"...Not last month...remember...when you showed me the flat...and we..." Hermione stopped then, and blushed deeply at Madam Pomfrey's knowing stare.

"Okay, have you had any food cravings, morning sickness, any of that?"

"Yes." Severus answered for her. "She has been throwing up a lot, and had...meatloaf and marmalade for dinner..."

Madam Pomfrey looked at them, and then said, "In that case I need to check your blood." she pulled out a small vial out of her pocket, and touched Hermione's abdomen with the tip of her wand, which glowed a deep red, then faded. She placed the tip on the inside rim of the vial, and it glowed red once more as the vial filled.

"I will be back in three minutes with the results. I have to test the blood to see if your magical signature has changed." she turned and entered her small lab, leaving Hermione and Severus to their thoughts.

"I'm sorry Severus...I forgot to cast the anti pregnancy charm..." Hermione said, several tears sliding down her cheeks.

"It isn't your fault, Hermione," Severus said, reaching out to hold her. "We are both responsible...and even if you are, it's okay...I still love you, and I will love our child."

"Oh, Severus." Hermione hugged him tightly.

They were still hugging when Madam Pomfrey walked back in. She cleared her voice, and the two turned to her.

She gave them a warm smile, "Congratulations. In eight months, you will be parents."

"You mean I'm..."

"Six weeks along." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile. She began to tell them what they would expect during the pregnancy, and when they would want to schedule an appointment with St. Mungo's. Before they left she gave Hermione some prenatal potions to take, and gave Severus express orders to make sure Hermione took them.

The next month flew by, and Hermione was now in her third month of pregnancy, and gaining quite a bit of weight, in her opinion. To Severus, she never looked more beautiful.

The new students were arriving tonight, though Severus and Hermione would not be there. Their first visit to St. Mungo's was finally here, and though Hermione dreaded it, Severus was very excited.

They had just gotten everything together, and were on their way to let the Albus know they would not be there for dinner, when Severus hissed, and gripped his forearm tightly. Hermione was confused, then the realization hit her. "Severus!" she exclaimed.

"Come on...it is time...I have to tell Albus." Severus grasped her hand, and together, they ran to the Headmaster's office.

Upon arriving, Albus had just stepped out of his office, when he saw the look on their faces. "He has summoned you?" he asked gravely.

At Severus curt nod, Albus motioned for them to hurry into his office, just as Severus grasped his arm again. "I must hurry..." Severus said.

"Yes, yes. If he asks you for information, you must tell him that as of this moment, you have nothing but whispered rumors, amongst the professors. Assure him that, given a bit more time, you can procure the information he desires." Albus said quickly.

"Wait..." Hermione said, thinking hard. "Tell him that you heard whisperings of a new weapon, that is under construction...say that it is very deadly, and when it is completed, will have great power. Voldemort will be intrigued, and want it for his own. we can buy some more time, and hopefully he will not call you for a while more."

Severus looked at her confused. "Is this one of the ploys I used in the future?"

"Yes..." Hermione said.

"Very well, Severus, use that method. Now hurry, you must go. offer any excuse as to why you were late."

"Yes Albus." Severus answered. he kissed Hermione quickly and said. "I am sorry, the next time I will go with you. Albus would you mind..."

"Of course Severus my boy, I will take her."

Nodding, Severus held his own wand to his Dark Mark, and his death eater garb washed over him, and he dissapperated.
