Time was moving in slow motion.
In one moment, both Harry and Remus both lunged at Bellatrix, tackling her to the ground.
Hermione's heart started beating faster. Thump, thump, thump.
Fenrir's hot breath made her realize she was still trapped, as he tightened his grip on her. He began to drag her away.
"Stop," she cried out. Something didn't feel right. There was a pressure in her pelvis. "Oh gods," she whispered to herself. She started struggling.
"Harry!" She screeched, but Fenrir covered her mouth, quickly dragging her away.
Harry sent a hex at Bellatrix, who quickly dodged it. "Remus, find her!" He shouted.
Remus blocked a curse aimed for Harry's back. "I can't leave you alone with her Harry." He argued.
Harry shook his head. "No, she needs you. Please, Remus, you have to save her."
Remus nodded, quickly sprinting towards where he last saw her.
Fenrir quickly released Hermione, and she crumpled towards the floor. She cried out in pain, as she felt herself quickly grow wet. Her water had just broken.
Quickly, she pulled herself up and propped herself up against the wall. She bit down a cry as she felt another wave of contraction tear through her. She should have known this wasn't her Braxton Hicks. It was happening too often and too roughly for that to be true.
She looked up at Fenrir in fear, who was smiling down at her, licking his lips. "I've never tasted a pregnant one before," he said huskily, moving his face closer to hers.
"And you never will!" She heard a voice shout. She looked and saw Remus running towards them.
Fenrir stood back, still grinning. "Well, Remus, what can I help you with?"
"You can get away from her," Remus snarled.
Fenrir laughed. "No, I think I'll stay here. She does smell delicious, but I'm sure you know that." He teasingly took a step towards Hermione.
Remus growled. "Get Away."
Hermione gasped in pain, clutching at her stomach.
Remus' eyes widened in a mixture of understanding and horror. He growled at Fenrir, before leaping towards him.
The two of them tumbled on the ground together, each clawing at each other, scratching whatever they could. Fenrir shoved Remus off him, and the two scrambled to their feet.
"Tell me Remus, why is she so important to you? I can smell that she isn't your mate. Why is your bond so strong?"
Remus snarled. "Just because she isn't my mate doesn't mean that I don't love her, or that I wouldn't die protecting her."
Fenrir shrugged. "I'll never understand you pathetic wizards."
"Emotion and attachment doesn't make us weak. It gives me strength."
Once more the two began fighting, all while Hermione was laying in labor. She winced as she felt Eridanus shift. Her contractions were growing closer. She was going to have to deliver her baby, in the middle of a battle, alone.
She glanced up and saw Remus pointing at Fenrir with his wand. "You'll never hurt anyone ever again." He hissed. "Avada Kedavra!" He shouted, the anger seeping through his voice.
Hermione watched in horror and relief as Fenrir's lifeless body fell to the ground. He was dead. The cruel monster than had ruined so many lives and family was dead. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The gasped as another contraction crashed through her body.
"Hermione!" Remus shouted.
She looked up and saw him rush towards her. "Oh Merlin, are you all right?"
She cried as another contraction hit. "Do I bloody look all right?!" She all but screeched at him.
A panicked look crossed his faced. "Ummm, I'll go find help!"
She quickly grabbed his hand. "Remus, it's too late. I can feel him... ARGHHHHH. He's crowning. Remus, this baby is coming out now. You're not going anywhere." She growled, her face scrunching up in pain.
"Hermione, I can't." He shook his head. "I can't do this. I don't know anything about birthing babies. I can't, oh Merlin, I'm going to be sick."
"Remus Lupin, get a grip! I need you. Eridanus needs you. Please, you can do this." She pleaded, gasping as another contraction hit. "Besides, I'll be doing most of the work anyways," she said with a humorless laugh.
"Okay, okay." Remus began to mutter to herself.
"Take my pants off." Hermione commanded.
"Pardon?" He gulped.
"Oh god, Remus, take my pants off."
"Hermione, I can't see that. I just... it's wrong. I mean, I just..."
"Oh for fuck's sake, you're going to see my vagina. GET OVER IT!" She growled, getting frustrated.
"Okay, okay." He quickly vanished her pants. "We're going to have to do this the Muggle way... I'm not sure how to do it any other way."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "I kind of figured as much." She cried out. "FUCK!" She could feel Eridanus pressing up against her pelvis. He was pushing, hard.
"Okay, I think I can see him. With the next contraction, push as hard as you can." Remus spoke softly, his calmness coming back. He glanced around, glad that they were in an abandoned hallway.
She took a deep breath, and then pushed when she felt the next contraction. She panted. "Remus, I can't do this."
"Oh hell you can. I know you can." Remus encouraged her. "Push again."
Hermione pushed. She cried out through her tears.
"Come on Hermione, one more and the baby will be here." Remus encouraged.
Hermione was exhausted. She could do this, so was so close. "I'm so tired," she muttered.
"Hermione, you're the bravest woman I know. Come on and push, I know you can do this." Remus said.
When she felt the next contraction, she bored down as hard as she could until the whole room was filled with the most beautiful sound in the world.
Her head fell back in relief, her eyes fluttering closed. She was so tired... maybe she should just take a nap...
Hermione's eyes fluttered open. She immediately shut them, the bright light hurting her. Groaning, she tried opening them again.
"She's awake!" Someone shouted, and then she heard running.
She tried sitting up, but couldn't. Her eyes fully opened, and see took in her surroundings. She was in a bed, surrounded by people. She saw Remus, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and McGonagall. She tried to speak, but lost her voice.
Professor McGonagall conjured a glass of water, and handed it to her. She quickly drank it. Licking her lips, she savored the moisture. Suddenly, her memories came flooding back.
"Where's my baby?!" She cried out, struggling to sit up.
"Shhhh, it's all right Hermione. Molly is with Eridanus right now. He's safe, a perfectly healthy baby boy." Remus said, holding her hand.
She leaned back, breathing a sigh of relief. "So what happened?"
Remus closed his eyes. "As soon as I got Eridanus out, you fell back, and just collapsed. Hermione... I thought you had died.." His voice grew hoarse, and he stopped.
Harry stepped in. "He was a mess, but we found you, and Madame Pomfrey said you had slipped into a coma. You've been asleep for five days."
"Five days!?" Hermione shrieked.
"Shhh, it's okay. You're awake now, and everything is all right." Harry soothed.
She nodded, fighting her tears now. "And what happened with the battle?"
Harry smiled, "He's dead. We did it."
Tears of relief came flooding down her face as she grabbed Harry, pulling him into her arms. "Oh Harry, I'm so proud of you!" She sobbed.
"I still can't believe it's all over," Ron muttered.
"Can I see my baby?" Hermione asked timidly.
"Of course. I'll go get him," Remus said standing. He coughed, and everyone else got up to leave.
Harry stayed though. He pulled Hermione close. "Hermione, I thought I had lost you." He began to cry into her shoulder.
"Oh Harry," she frowned. "Harry, it's all right. I'm all right. Things will be okay now. Please, oh Harry." And she began to cry with him.
Harry quickly pulled away, wiping her tears. "Come on, I hear your baby."
Hermione's eyes lit up, and she smiled. She looked at the little bundle of joy in Remus' arms. She held her hands out, and Remus gently laid Eridanus in her embrace.
"He's beautiful," she murmured. "An exact copy of Sirius." Eridanus had Sirius' shaggy hair, and big blue eyes. He had a pale complexion. "He's perfect," she kissed his nose.
Eridanus waved his arms, gurgling.
Harry grinned. "Hermione, you're going to be a great mom." He hugged her gently. "But hey, I'm going to go see Ginny." He got up and swiftly exited the room.
Hermione gently rocked Eridanus in her arms. "Remus, did anyone die?"
Sadly, he nodded. "Snape did, but no one will miss him. Mad-Eye did. Bellatrix did, as well as Horace. Little Colin Creevey died too. A few others did as well, but no one we really knew."
Hermione nodded sadly. So many had died, but hopefully, they would be able to recover what had been lost.
"Remus, can you take Eridanus? I'm feeling really tired all of a sudden." She muttered, handing her baby to him. Immediately, her head fell back on the cool pillow and she fell into a deep sleep.
