Chapter 20: Exposed

“Ron! Harry! What are you doing here?” inquired Arthur.

“Why don’t we all move this little chat inside? Hmm?” asked Remus as he gestured towards the dining room.

Ron hugged his father as they walked into the dining area.

Harry quickly hugged Remus and Tonks and followed everyone inside.

“Hermione! Should’ve known you would be with these two! How are you?” asked Arthur as he entered the room.

Standing to hug Mr. Weasley, Hermione replied, “I’m fine,” timidly.

Harry moved to stand by her side, and after everyone exchanged their ‘hello’s’ they all sat down at the elongated table.

“Where have you three been all this time? What’s been going on?” asked Remus.

The trio exchanged hesitant looks.

“I think it’s better to leave the Order uninformed in our whereabouts and activities,” Harry stated.

Hermione reached over to hold Harry’s hand underneath the table, which went unnoticed amongst the group.

“Harry, the Order wants to help,” insisted Remus.

“Please tell us what it is that you guys are trying to do,” added Tonks.

“All I can say is that Dumbledore gave us a mission,” Harry stated, giving Hermione’s hand a little squeeze for comfort.

“A mission….involving what?” questioned Arthur.

“The less you all know, the better,” replied Harry.

Remus and Arthur seemed perturbed, while Tonks attempted to break the tension in the room.

“Well, in other news,” she glanced towards Remus, smiling, “we are officially parents! Gave birth to a healthy, baby boy about a month ago. Ted Remus Lupin.”

“Congratulations!” praised Harry and Ron.

“That’s fantastic!” exclaimed Hermione.

“And, we’d like for you to be Teddy’s godfather, Harry,” proclaimed Remus.

Harry was taken aback, shock evident on his face.

“It would be an honor! Thank you!” Harry smiled.

Harry stood to hug both Remus and Tonks in appreciation.

Hermione taking Harry’s lead also moved to hug the happy newlyweds and offer her congratulations.

“There’s a lot of that going around I guess,” mumbled Ron into his hand.

Remus shot Ron a questionable look, “What do you mean?”

Harry and Hermione’s gaze instantly darted to Ron. They were piercing daggers with their eyes.

“What’s Ron talking about?” Arthur questioned towards Harry and Hermione.

Harry and Hermione both faltered, glancing down at the floor, unsure of how to explain their current situation.

Breaking the awkward silence, Ron stood abruptly, “Hermione’s pregnant!” he blurted out loudly. “Go ahead, offer your congratulations to the happy couple,” he seethed, heading up to his bedroom.

Remus, Tonks, and Arthur watched Ron storm out of the room, before returning their stunned faces to Harry and Hermione, awaiting an explanation.

“Uh…” Harry stammered.

“Is that true?!” demanded Remus.

Harry and Hermione glanced at one another, silently questioning their next move.

“Yes, it’s true,” answered Hermione softly..

The young couple watched as mouths fell open in shock, and gasps were heard.

“How?! When?! How?!” demanded Remus.

“Three excellent questions,” added Arthur.

Harry and Hermione gestured for everyone to take a seat again.

“We can’t tell you much, but Hermione and I are together now. And…yes, we are expecting,” replied Harry hesitantly.

“Hence Ron’s angry outburst just now. He’s still pretty upset,” he continued.

“You two are having a baby?!” announced Tonks, clearly still in shock.

“Twins, actually,” Hermione corrected.

“Twins?!?!” Remus repeated dumbstruck.

Harry and Hermione simply nodded in confirmation.

Another long pause in silence filled the room once again.

“Well, despite our obvious objections to the situation, it is what it is,” reasoned Remus.

“Hermione, how far along are you?” asked Tonks.

“Um,” Hermione paused, silently doing the math in her mind, “about 13 weeks.”

“Thirteen weeks?! How is that possible? You’re as thin as a rail!” replied Tonks.

“I cast a very strong concealment charm on my clothes. The baby bump is still there, but it’s hidden,” answered Hermione.

“Well, cheers! That’s fantastic! Do you already have names sorted out?” asked Tonks.

“Yeah. We’re naming them ‘Lily’ and ‘James’,” replied Harry.

“Potter,” finished Hermione confidently.

Harry looked at her questioningly. She met his gaze and returned a smile.

“Really?” asked Harry astonishingly.

Hermione nodded.

“It’s only fitting. Besides, I want them to carry on your family name,” replied Hermione bashfully.

Dumbfounded, Harry embraced her in a tight hug, kissing her gently.

“You’re amazing, you are!” beamed Harry. “Maybe you could help keep the name going, too…” he trailed off.

Tonks excitedly grabbed Remus’ arm, knowing what was about to happen. Arthur silently excused himself from the room to check on his son upstairs.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, unsure of what Harry meant.

Harry knelt down on one knee, taking Hermione’s hands in his.

“Hermione Jean Granger, you are undoubtedly the most amazing person I have ever met. You have always stayed by my side, no matter how difficult or dangerous the situation. I have no doubt in my mind that the reason that I am even still alive, is because I am lucky enough to have you in my life. You’re kind, stunningly beautiful, fiercely intelligent, and you have the warmest heart I’ve ever seen. You find the good in people, even when they can’t see it in themselves. And now…carrying my children…” Harry trailed off.

“Hermione, will you do me the incredible honor of accepting my hand in marriage?” asked Harry hopefully and lovingly.

Hermione gasped, smiled brightly while nodding her head slowly up and down.

Harry searched her eyes cautiously, still awaiting her response.

“Yes!” squeaked Hermione. “Of course I will, Harry!!”

Quickly pulling him into her arms, she kissed him passionately.

Harry returned her heated kiss, wrapped his arms around her, lifting her up and spinning her around excitedly.

Tonks was now bouncing in excitement next to her husband, cooing her support. Remus was still in shock from the onslaught of news, but began to smile at the happy young couple.

“Aw! Congratulations you two!!” squealed Tonks as Harry and Hermione separated.

“Yes, congratulations! To both of you!” added Remus, hugging both of them in celebration.

Harry turned back towards Hermione, frowning, “I—uh, I don’t have a, a ring…uhm,” he quickly scanned the room.

Spotting a small wooden spoon lying on the countertop, Harry pulled out his wand and transfigured it into a beautiful, simple 1 karat diamond in a white gold band.

Picking it up, he walked back towards Hermione, clasping her left hand, and slowly eased it onto her wedding ring finger. He looked into her eyes, and she blissfully pulled him into another hug.
