"Hermione, snap out of it!" Harry waved his hand in front of her face.

Her eyes finally focused on him, the dazed look leaving her. "I'm sorry Harry, were you saying something?"

Harry frowned. "Hermione, I've been talking to you for the last ten minutes. Did you really not hear a word I said?"

She blushed and Harry knew that she didn't.

"I'm sorry Harry." She said, a frown on her face. She felt terrible that she kept spacing out. Shivering, she wrapped her arms around herself. This had been happening more and more. But she couldn't tell anyone. They would just think she was crazy. She was pretty sure some people already thought that.

Harry rubbed her shoulder. "Hermione, I'm just concerned about you. You aren't yourself anymore."

Hermione sighed. "I'm sorry Harry, I really am. But I just can't help it. I'm so tired all the time."

"Try sleeping then Hermione. This isn't good for you, or the baby."

"I can't Harry. I keep reliving our memories, it's terrible. I fall asleep, only to wake up in hysterics. And potions don't help either."

"What about Madame Pomfrey? Maybe she could help." Harry suggested.

Hermione shook her head. "No, I'll be fine. I think it's just because I'm still freaking out about the pregnancy."

Harry shrugged. "Don't be. Hermione, you're going to be a great mom. Please, stop stressing."

"I'm trying, okay?" She said in a small voice.

Harry smiled. "Okay. But in the meantime, Remus is meeting us at Hogsmeade later today!"

This brought a smile to her face. She missed Remus, a lot. They had been sending owls back and forth, but it wasn't the same. She really needed a hug from him. "I've missed him."

Harry smiled. "I know you do. That's why I owled him asked to meet us."

"Harry Potter, thank you so much!" She said, smiling still.

"No problem Mione. Plus, I figured since we've only got a few weeks left of school, you should probably mention that you and Eridanus are going to live with me."

Hermione nodded. "I know. I need to tell him soon. I can't believe we're almost done with school. Have you been accepted into the Auror program yet?"

Harry shook his head. "No. I haven't applied yet. There is something I need to do first. I need to end this war."

Hermione looked at him, terror in her eyes. "Harry, no. That isn't your job. Let someone else save the world, please."

"Hermione, you heard the prophecy. You know it has to be me."

"Harry, I can't lose you too. Please."

He shook his head. "It'll be over soon. The mission Dumbledore gave me, it'll be over soon. Okay, just don't worry."

"I don't know. When do you think all this will happen?"

Harry glanced at her stomach, smiling. "Hopefully before the next month and a half go by."

She placed her hand on her baby bump, and smiled as she felt her baby kicking.

Harry glanced at the clock. "Mione, let's go. Remus is probably waiting for us."

Hermione nodded and quickly grabbed her jacket. Although it was almost April, it was still cold. Most likely due to the Dementers. She shivered.

"Remus!" She shrieked as she threw her arms around him.

"Hermione, you look fantastic! Look at the baby! Oh my, he must be getting so big." Remus lead the two of them to a table in the back of the Three Broomsticks.

"Remus, I've missed you! Please, fill us in on what's been going on." Hermione said, the smile on her face getting bigger by the second.

He started talking about his relationship with Tonks. Hermione listened intently, glad that things were working out between the two of them. She wanted the best for Remus, and if Tonks was who he wanted, them that was he deserved.

"She misses you, did you know that?"

Hermione opened her mouth in disbelief. "No, surely not!"

Remus chuckled. "I know, I was surprised too. But she said she misses your "useless chatter."

Hermione just laughed. "Well, she has you all to herself, surely that is worth it?"

Remus nodded. "Yes, the alone time is great, although it might have been too great. We're just found out she's expecting!"

"Ah! Congrats! Oh, I'm so happy for the two of you!" Hermione squealed.

Harry clapped Remus on the back. "Congrats Remus. You're going to be a great father."

"We're excited, but nervous as well. Hopefully everything goes okay. But I'm still nervous. What if he inherits some of my curse? That would be a nightmare. I would never wish that one my child."

Hermione patted his hand. "Remus, even if it does, it could never hate you. He would learn to cope, and hopefully the world will be a safer place by then."

"Besides, there is always the possibility that it'll inherit Tonks ability." Harry added.

Remus' eyes lit up at that. "I never thought of it like that. Maybe you're right. Hopefully we'll end up that lucky."

The idle chit chat went on. Hermione had a good time, laughing and enjoying herself.

The three of them left, but as soon as they were outside, Harry excused himself so he could meet up with Ginny. Hermione rolled her eyes, knowing that the two were so wrapped up in each other sometimes.

Hermione and Remus made their way to a small bench and sat down upon it. She positioned herself so she was leaning on his shoulder.

"So how have you been holding up Hermione?" He asked, his voice full of concern.

She shrugged. "Pretty bad. But there isn't anything I can do about it. I miss him terribly. But you know that."

Remus hugged her tighter. "Things will be okay, I hope you know that."

"I do, it's just hard. But we'll survive."

"You're strong. I'm proud of you Hermione."

She huffed. "Everyone keeps saying they so proud. But no one really even knows what I'm going through. And how can they? It's just hard to hear the same thing all the time, but no it won't make a difference. I don't know." She closed her eyes.

Remus didn't respond. He didn't know what to say. What do you say to someone who has heard it all and has gotten no comfort from it? What do you say to lessen someone's pain when the pain is inconsolable?

Hermione shrugged. "I have something to tell you Remus. And with what you told us earlier, I think it would be for the best."

"What is it Mione?"

"Well, I think once school is finished, I'm going to move in with Harry."

"Hermione, that isn't necessary-"

"Remus, just let me finish. You and Tonks are going to be a family. You don't need me and Eridanus there. Harry already said it would be fine. And I would feel more at peace in Grimmauld Place, as disturbing as that is."

Remus nodded. "I guess I understand what you're trying to say. As long as that's what you really want Hermione."

"It is," she nodded.

"Okay then. I just want you to be happy."

"Thank you."

"Come on, let's get you back to the castle. It's getting colder out."

She nodded and walked back up to the castle with Remus. She was glad he was too upset she was moving out, but it really would be for the best.

At least that's what she kept trying to convince herself.
