What Happens Now?

Chapter 4

Hermione true to her word came to join her husband in the great hall for lunch the following day. Lolly had obviously not missed a beat because Hermione’s plate was about half the size of everyone else’s. Clearly the house elf knew her stuff when it came to pregnancy.

“I’m surprised that you risked the rumours to join us for lunch.” Severus commented.

“I told you I’d come and tell you if I was going out this afternoon, so here I am.” Hermione replied, not letting his usual attitude bother her. “I’m going to the burrow this afternoon; Ginny is there for a visit today and asked me if I wanted to come.”

“Fine, don’t be back too late. In fact if you’re still out when I’ve finished last lessons and afternoon detention I’ll come and escort you home myself.” He replied.

“I’m going to the burrow Severus not a brothel.” Hermione retorted rolling her eyes. “I will assume that this is your own unique way of worrying about me so how about we compromise? If after the evening meal I haven’t got back then you can come and get me.”

“Fine.” He grunted. Hermione spent the rest of her lunch speaking to Minerva since Severus was not exactly known for his conversation skills. Severus ate in silence and when he was finished he left abruptly.

“I’m going to see the Weasley’s this afternoon, shall I say hello for you?” Hermione asked.

“Please do.” The Headmistress nodded. “And tell them that they are always most welcome to visit.”

“Just think, in eleven years time you could have a whole new wave of Weasleys coming to Hogwarts.” Hermione smiled.

“Perhaps.” Minerva nodded. “But I’m hardly going anywhere soon so there’s no need for them to rush.”

“Hogwarts isn’t really the place for a baby is it?” Hermione asked softly.

“I don’t see why not...there are worse places.” The older witch comforted her.

“But what about any seventh years from now on that for whatever reason get married straight away, they could have a baby while still at school. Then what?” Hermione asked.

“I guess we’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. With regards to your situation, Severus does have a house if you would prefer but we could always just extend your rooms a little into some of the less used rooms in the dungeons if it helps.” She suggested.

“I guess like you said, we’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.” Hermione replied. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Hermione!” a voice called as she stepped out of the fireplace at the burrow. She held up her hand to hold off the hugs while she tried to hold her lunch in. It was not working; she held her hand up in apology and dashed to the nearest toilet.

When she emerged a few moments later Molly Weasley handed her a glass of water and a plate with a piece of toast on it.

“Thanks.” Hermione sigh gratefully as they all headed back to the living room to catch up.

“Um...am I the only one that thinks after being sick eating is the last thing on Hermione’s mind?” Ginny asked.

“Sshh Ginny dear and tell Hermione your news.” Molly smiled warmly. Hermione tucked into the toast gratefully and nodded for Ginny to continue.

“Oh Hemrione guess what! I’m pregnant!” Ginny beamed. Hermione nearly choked on her toast.

“Congratulations!” she gasped out between coughs. “So am I. That was one of the reasons for my visit actually.”

“And that’s why I wanted you two to get that bit out of the way first.” Molly said simply. “Ginny just found out this morning and wanted to tell everyone straight away.”

“Mum you know Harry and I have been hoping since the wedding that it would happen quickly.” Ginny defended. “How about you Hermione?”

“I’m actually about seven and a half weeks now.” Hermione said guiltily.

“Hermione! Why didn’t you tell me?!” Ginny exclaimed.

“Well, I wanted to do it in person but...I didn’t know if it was safe to floo and I couldn’t find any books on it at the library.” Hermione confessed.

“Oh Hermione dear!” Molly chided. “You could have owled me! If you have any questions at any point just owl or floo me I’m sure I’ve been there believe me.” The three of them laughed at this.

“I can’t believe we’re going to be having babies together!” Ginny squealed.

“I’m sure I’m hearing things but I could have sworn I just heard my baby sister say she was having a baby?” a voice came from the doorway.

“George!” Hermione exclaimed, getting up to hug him. “I haven’t seen you in like a month how are you?”

“You know, same old me.” He shrugged. They all fell into a tiny moment of silence their minds going straight to Fred who was no longer with them. “So who do I have to hex now?”

“No one.” Ginny sighed rolling her eyes.

“Well I could have sworn my seventeen year old sister just said she was having a baby so someone’s getting an earful.” He shrugged. “Get it?”

“George? Really? Now is the time for ear jokes?” Ginny asked in disbelief. “And I’m eighteen in like two months so I think you can ease up a little on Harry don’t you?”

“Yeah, anyone who’s willing to marry Ginerva Weasley has a get out of jail free card in my books.” George grinned. “Scary!” He mouthed to Hermione. “And who am I hexing for you?”

“No one, although if you have any practical jokes that will give someone social skills and a burst of sense of humour and...you know what never mind.” Hermione trailed off, knowing George he actually would pull a load of pranks on Severus just because he’s Snape let alone because he had got Hermione pregnant.

“So who’s the lucky guy Hermione?” he asked.

“You mean no one told you?” Hermione asked in disbelief. “I’m Mrs Snape now.”

“Bloody hell! I thought Bill was kidding when he told me that. Jesus Hermione, hard luck.” George said clapping her on the back and wandering through to the kitchen.

“He’s not that bad!” Hermione called after him.

“Ew Hermione...I forgot you have to sleep with Professor Snape.” Ginny said quietly.

“Actually since I’m pregnant already I don’t.” Hermione corrected.

“You might change your mind on that when you get to your second trimester.” Molly said wryly.

“Excuse me?” Hermione spluttered.

“Hormones dear. Trust me you’ll go through a stage where you’ll want to.” She smiled.

“Ew mum!” Ginny exclaimed.

“You too dear.” Molly laughed. “And just think you haven’t had any sickness yet, that could still kick in unless you’ve very lucky this time around of course. I didn’t get any sickness with Charlie or Ron.”

“Well...I wasn’t planning on having quite as many kids as you mum. I was thinking three and since Harry and I are looking after Teddy too that makes four.” Ginny said.

“Bet you baby number three is twins.” George’s voice called from the kitchen.

Molly made the girls stay for dinner and Hermione knew that meant the Severus would be annoyed with her if she didn’t make it back to the dungeons before he did but it wasn’t like she was out anywhere dangerous.

“Oh that’s the floo!” Arthur exclaimed, standing from the table and heading into the living room. When he returned a tall dark figure followed and Hermione sighed and dropped her head to the table in embarrassment. She didn’t think he would actually show up to get her! She thought it was just something he was saying to prove his point.

“Oh Severus, take a seat there’s plenty left.” Molly said quickly.

“No, no Molly please don’t get up. I’ve already eaten at the school.” Severus said, leaning back against the counter. Strange how he could be polite to Molly Weasley but hardly anyone else.... “I just came to escort Hermione home, I’d rather she not travel alone if she’s tired.”

“I’m not four.” Hermione pouted.

“Oh yes, the pout really supports your statement.” He smirked.

“I heard congratulations are in order.” Arthur cheered. “double congratulations really but I suppose I’ll save some of the celebrating until Harry gets here.”

“Ah yes, Severus; Ginny and Harry are expecting a baby as well. Isn’t it wonderful?” Hermione asked her husband. George made a sick gesture at her calling the dungeon bat by his first name and Molly whacked him for it as she started taking the empty plates from the table.

“I offer my congratulations Mrs Potter.” Severus said civilly.

“It’s so exciting! Hermione our kids will go to Hogwarts together one day.” Ginny sighed wistfully.

“Don’t wish the time away dear.” Molly chided. “As soon as that little one can walk you’ll wish it couldn’t, especially if it’s anything like your brothers.”

“Hermione, if you’re finished here we should get back to the castle.” Severus said. Hermione nodded and looked at Molly apologetically.

“Thank you so much for dinner Molly.” She said, standing to hug everyone goodbye. “Tell Harry I said congratulations.”

As Hermione stepped out of the fireplace in their quarters Severus was right next to her. Her had insisted that they should go together as she was tired and he didn’t want her getting lost in someone else’s fireplace. A fireplace is a bit of a squeeze for two people she thought as she entered their living room but she had to admit that she was pretty tired. In fact the minute she sat on the sofa to stop her stomach from emptying again she thought she’d fall asleep and that maybe she shouldn’t have sat down after all. At least she wasn’t sick again she supposed.

“I told you that you’d be tired.” He said, walking straight past her to hang his outer cloak up.

“Yes, yes.” She muttered. “You know most people don’t feel the need to say I told you so.”

“Ah well, I am not most people.” He replied.

“I am well aware of that.” Hermione sighed.

“I trust Miss-Mrs Potter was pleased with your news.” He commented.

“Yes, it’ll be nice having someone else to talk to about all these pregnancy things.” Hermione nodded. “And Molly was so helpful. She knew as soon as I stepped out of the floo.”

“If you looked as green as you looked a second ago I can hardly say I’m surprised.” He smirked.

“I was sick.” Hermione admitted.

“And the woman should know, god knows she was probably the reason there was never a marriage law after the first war with her rate of repopulating wizarding society.” He murmured.

“Well you can rest assured that I have no desire for seven children.” Hermione said dryly. “I was thinking more along the lines of two.”

“For goodness sake woman! You haven’t even had the first child that the ministry is forcing on us yet and you’re planning a second by choice?!” Severus spluttered. “And when pray tell were you going to tell me about this plan of yours?”

“Oh don’t have a heart attack. That’s just what I always planned when I was younger I’m not going to be forcing any more children out of you if you still hate me in several years time am I?” she said rolling her eyes.

“I don’t actually hate you you know. In fact I don’t hate any of your wretched trio. Do not mistake not liking someone for hating someone.” He replied.

“Yes well, you’re not as scary as you seem to think you are anyway.” She told him, standing to go to bed.

“Well it is rather hard to appear as the evil bat of the dungeons when all I want to do is sit down and have a drink at the end of a hard day of dealing with foul dumb-witted students.” He replied. “Oh don’t look so surprised Miss Granger do you seriously think I don’t know what people say about me? I do tend to act that way on purpose and you see, it works.”

“When are you going to stop calling me Miss Granger?” she asked, turning and heading to the bedroom leaving him alone with his firewhiskey.

“When I no longer keep picturing my eleven year old student.” He muttered to himself, downing the rest of the glass. He couldn’t deny to himself that she looked nothing like her eleven year old self now, she was rather beautiful at the age of nineteen but still, she was miles too young for him and it simply seemed wrong for her to be his wife. At least she wasn’t quite as annoying as he thought she’d be and it would seem that they wouldn’t be forced to be intimate again since she was already pregnant and he certainly had no particular desire for someone he still saw as practically a child so that shouldn’t prove a problem either.
