Hermione sat in the meeting room with Pix, Percy and a few other workers in the new department at the ministry. She had been busy these last two months which was good because she was halfway thru her eighth month and soon she would pop and be out of work for…three weeks at the very least. She needed this meeting so she could get all her plans in motion before she left on her maternity leave. She had already had one scare of a possible early birth so things needed to get moving and fast. She rubbed her belly and waited for the chatter to stop so Percy could get the meeting going.
“Okay, okay” He tapped the table a few times and waited for them all to look at him “Good afternoon everyone”
“Good afternoon” Was heard from everyone around the table.
“Okay” He looked at his notes “First things first. Macy, Hermione’s secretary has been let go, she was observed being rude to the new couples and being rude to Hermione about her state of pregnancy” Hermione tried to say that Macy had never actually said anything but he held his hand up to stop her “She never actually said anything, I know but the rude looks and sarcastic sneers are just as bad if not worse”
“True” Hermione agreed and everyone nodded.
“On Monday a new woman is starting” He said “Pix and I interviewed her and Hermione also got to meet her. Her name is Nadia Darke she was homeschooled instead of attending an actual magical school and was moved out of the country during the war”
“Very good” Someone said from the end of the table.
“Now, Hermione has a few things she wanted to bring to the table for us to oversee” Percy said and smiled at her as she stood up.
“Now, I have spent the last two months matching people and studying” She started “I have made notes about my own personal experiences as a woman matched up, I have considered the people I work with and have looked over old laws including this one” Everyone nodded “Now, before I was married I received a letter telling me that my name was being given to a few different men and that I would likely receive some letters from interested gentlemen” She took a sip of her water and grimaced as she felt the Aibhlinn give a hard kick.
“Are you okay?” Percy asked and she nodded.
“She just kicked” Hermione answered “So, my new hopes for this law working without having people rebel against it is that we have to take people’s choices in to considerations. I mean ages ago I would have thought that for sure I would be married to Ron Weasley but now I am happily married to Severus” Percy smiled “But we should give them a chance to be with who they want. If say, ‘Mary’ is “in-love” with ‘Mark’ she can send us a letter after she gets her letter from us telling us that” She looked around the table “We would do our matching spells to see how compatible they are together and go from there. Maybe they would be perfect together but maybe not, the thing is that we tried and it looks better if we try to appease the crowds as opposed to fighting with them”
“I agree” Pix said with a bright smile, Hermione looked around the table happily noting the slight tick in Percy’s right eye. She knew having him angry or suspicious of her wouldn’t do so she quieted the talkative room again.
“Percy is a great minister of magic” She told them “He stepped up when there was no leadership and he risked everything by enacting an old law to ensure the safety of our world” She was struck with a great idea suddenly “I think that if we put this new law through then we should also have a Ministry ball. One that will not only honor our Minister of Magic but we’ll invite the happy families that we have created, we will have a few give speeches to erase any fear that the community may still hold about this law” Everyone was practically bouncing in their seats and Hermione felt like she as simply on fire with this new power, this strange sneaky rush that she had and wouldn’t have been surprised if someone said that her very hair was sparking with it “We will invite sixth and seventh year students from Hogwarts as well as any unmarried people. We can put their worries and fears at ease, what do you guys think?”
“I think it’s wonderful!” Pix exclaimed, clapping her hands eagerly “Just the kind of thing the ministry needs”
“It is a wonderful idea” Percy said, still preening a little under the compliments she had given him “And thank you for your kind words”
“Your welcome” She smiled. The rest of the meeting was very dull compared to her inventive new ideas and even an hour later when they were finally released back to their work they were still talking about the amazing possibilities that she had come up with.
“Hermione” Percy called “Can I talk to you?”
“Yes” She stopped and Percy closed the door behind the last person to exit.
“You amaze me” He said walking closer than normal to her “I thought that you were happy with Severus”
“I am” Hermione said looking at him.
“You don’t have to lie” He said running his index finger down her cheek and neck then to her shoulder and leered at her “If you wanted me you just had to tell me”
“Percy!” She moved aside “I am married”
“We’ll just have some fun” He smirked and she slapped him across the face hard enough to make him stumble back.
“Don’t ever talk to me like that again or it won’t be me that hits you and I highly doubt Severus will stop at hitting” She snapped at him
“He’d be arrested in a minute” Percy menacingly.
“By who?” Hermione raised her eyebrow with a challenge “Harry, Ron…maybe I should tell Bill or Charlie how you’ve treated me”
“I was joking” He said quickly as he was still scared of his big brothers “I’m married as well”
“And imagine what your wife would do to you” Hermione pointed out as she walked to the door “In short don’t do it again” She walked out the door before she pushed it open again “Silly me…I won’t tell Harry or Ron, Bill or Charlie”
“I didn’t think you’d…” He started.
“Do it again” She said with a smile “And I’ll tell your mother”

Severus was nearly in a blind rage when Hermione told him that Percy had come on to her. He wanted to find out where the ‘little worm’ lived so that he could do all the things that people assumed he did in the war to the ‘little fucker’ but Hermione wouldn’t let him. As endearing as it all was she was just too tired to put up with his ranting and raving, she was going to lay down for a nap once she was completely sure that he understood how important what she was doing was and that he couldn’t go kill the minister in a jealous rage.
“I understand” He said clenching his jaw “What he needs to understand is that you are mine!” Hermione nodded as she walked in to the kitchen, she was starving and tired and the baby wouldn’t stop moving around. She was even too tired to remind her husband that she was her own person, that she didn’t belong to him nor to anyone else.
“What’s all this?” She asked as she opened the fridge in their chambers “Have I been cooking in my sleep?”
“Molly came to visit” He answered “Seems to think that you’re going in to labor at any moment and that if that happens I won’t be fed or something”
“There are house-elves here” Hermione said with a laugh “Like they’d let you starve. She did the same thing for Tonks, I think it’s just a tradition or something, I think it’s sweet”
“How is Tonks by the way?” Severus asked “I haven’t seen her since the baby was born, not really”
“She’s good” Hermione stretched and walked towards the living room door “Little baby Remus’s birth did a number on her, the healers said that she would be fine in time but over the first couple months she would have to take it easy”
“Is it the sickness that I took care of that’s the problem?” He asked.
“Yes” She answered “Her immune system is real weak so she’s been getting sick off and on, that’s why there’s been a substitute professor so much for DADA as Remus needs to stay with baby Remus”
“I’ll brew something for her immune system and then for the sickness” He promised.
“That sounds wonderful” Hermione agreed “I’m going to bed, I think I need to…” She stopped suddenly and looked at him a little perplexed as the sound of a trickle of water hit the ground. She looked down at the ground between her feet and then back at Severus with her eyes opening even wider. She wasn’t due for another two and a half weeks but there was no denying it…her water had just broken.
A/N: I know I kind of flew through the pregnancy months but really anyone can figure out what happens during pregnancy. Now we get to the fun stuff…parenthood and her plans for the Ministry. Can you guess?
