Ends and Beginnings

‘Oh I hate this,’ Hermione mumbled as Harry helped her off the floor in front of the toilet. She turned around and washed her teeth, trying to get rid of the gusting taste of vomiting, Harry was rubbing cycles on her back all the while.

After the morning of their plans and happiness, Harry had called both his office and the hospital and requested their days off for about two weeks, they needed to set things up for their new life and whatever was coming with it. He had also booked an appointment for Hermione in the hospital as Healer Morrison had advised them and now, two days after relaxing and lovemaking, both of them were ready to face their realities. Hiding under a warded house was great but they knew they couldn’t hide anymore, they were people out there, who wanted to vent, to learn the truth and people who needed Harry and Hermione’s help to forget and forgive if that was possible.

‘I just want to see the healer and then take all the potions that have been invented for the nausea,’ Hermione murmured as she leaned against the counter and breathed through her mouth, afraid breathing from her nose would make her vomit again. She was a healer and knew better than anyone not to take potions or cast spells on herself in this condition so she couldn’t wait to visit the healer and get the info needed along with the green light of casting spells on herself that would help her pregnancy. Her pregnancy, it still seemed terrifying, yet after two days with the man she loved, exciting.

Harry grinned, the whole pregnancy and being together situation has settled inside him and even if they had cast pain around he was feeling happy, he loved Hermione, he knew as much and he could only care about her and the little one inside of her. The days they had spent in this house, making love, relaxing and making love again were the happiest of his life even if he knew they would eventually come to an end, these days had helped him realize how much he had sacrificed both his and Hermione’s happiness for so long as to keep everyone else satisfied, he had sacrificed far too much for the community, his friends, the people his knew, his career, for everything, now it was time for him to feel free and loves, it was time for him and the woman he loves to be happy.

‘You’re beautiful,’ he blurted out without thinking it as his hand ran down Hermione’s hair before she could start brushing them, he saw her smiling sweetly through the mirror, a delicate blush spreading over her cheeks, he smiled and took the brush from her hand and started running it down on her hair, careful not to hurt her. He loved the aroma of her shampoo as he moved closer, they ended up pressed against each other with him kissing her neck and her leaning against him, her eyes closed their breaths even, the brushing forgotten.

‘We need to go to the hospital…’ Hermione whispered as the thought popped in her head through the peace of the moment, they needed to go indeed, it was time for them to come out of their hiding place and face the world like grownups. She heard Harry murmuring his agreement but never taking his lips away from her neck, with a sigh she moved first. Harry sighed and took a lock of her hair in his hand as she turned around in his hug, she gave him a kiss, delighted to have the liberty for the last days. He smiled against her lips and answered the kiss with one of his own.

‘We should floo, the waves might return by the apparition.’ Hermione said when the kiss was over, Harry nodded his head and led her out of the bathroom, the moved in the living room of Harry’s house and soon they flooed in the Hospital together.

The moment they stepped out of the fireplace of the hospital many witched and wizards looked at them holding hands but none seemed to notice something out of order, everyone had gotten used to see Harry Potter and Hermione Granger holding hands, people knew these gestures of love and care since the War’s time so none seemed surprised.

The couple moved silently in the maternity ward and Hermione led Harry in Morris’ office, they knocked once and heard the healer inviting them in. When they entered the room the blonde healer was waiting for them.

‘Good morning,’ she said smiling as she stood up and shook hands with both of them.

‘Hello Christina,’ Hermione said warmly at her co-worker and personal healer.

‘So how’s the pregnancy so far?’ Christina asked as Hermione sat up in the bed while Christina moved closer as to start the examination. Harry moved close to Hermione, Christina –like everyone in the Wizarding community- knew about Hermione being with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter with Ginny Weasley but considering she was the one who announced Hermione’s pregnancy and saw the reactions she had figured out what was on, however, she said nothing.

‘Not too bad, I haven’t taken any potion before we check out if everything is alright,’ Hermione said and Christina smiled and nodded her head.

‘Good for your, when I had Liza, I was taking every potion available,’ Christina said and Hermione smiled, remembering Elizabeth, Christina’s child, with a ache in her heart Hermione wondered how her and Harry’s baby would be like. ‘Lets see,’ Christina said as she lifted Hermione’s top and touched the tip of her wand on Hermione’s belly, after a moment a small, rapid thudding was echoing, Christina smiled as she looked at Harry and Hermione, ‘This is the heart you’re listening to, it sounds strong and steady,’ Christina said and Harry took Hermione’s hand and kissed it, they were looking into each other’s eyes, listening to their baby’s heartbeat, both of them lost in the delightful sound. After a moment Christina took her wand away and a small piece of parchment was conjured from its tip, Christina took and looked at it, she smiled after a moment.

‘Everything looks normal, I need you Hermione to be calmed however, we don’t want the waves to strike again, it can be dangerous for you, the baby and even for people around you, you have to remember that it’s not just you, it’s also the baby that needs care and when you’re getting out of control your hormones along with the baby’s magical power inside you create these waves.’ The healer said and both Harry and Hermione nodded their heads.

‘She’ll be careful, no stress at all,’ Harry said reassuringly and Christina smiled at him as she nodded her head. ‘Can we see if the little one is a boy or a girl?’ Harry added and Christina smiled and spoke.

‘We can try but it will probably show nothing right now, the baby has already a sex but it’s too little to respond to the spell, however sometimes it shows,’ Christina said and pointed her wand on Hermione’s belly again, after a moment a faint purple glow appeared on Hermione’s skin. ‘Nope, you’ll have to stick with the “little one” nickname for a little longer, the spell can’t show what it is.’ Christina said and the couple smiled, they knew the little one was well little but it didn’t hurt to try.

‘Thank you very much, Christina, we owe you,’ Hermione said, knowing her friend would catch the double meaning of her words, Christina waved her off.

‘It’s my job, I want to see you in a month and a half, we’ll be able to see what the little one is then, remember, don’t get stressed, I will have my eye on you the moment you’ll be back at work.’ Christina said, pointing her finger at her friend, knowing how much Hermione could work and tire herself.

‘I’ll be careful,’ Hermione promised and Christina nodded and smiled, she shook hands with the couple and the two of them left the office, hand in hand again.

‘I know a nice café two corners from here that makes great muffins,’ Hermione said and Harry grinned and kissed the top of her head before they could turn around a corner in the deserted corridor.

‘Sounds perfect, with a nice cup of French coffee for me and a cup of milk for you… Yum,’ Harry said and laughed as Hermione elbowed him.

‘Milk make me wanna vomit and even if I can’t drink coffee, I’ll take tea, like you will,’ Hermione said smiling and Harry frowned and pocked his tongue at her, for the last years coffee was the only thing that could wake him up fully.

‘I’ll take coffee,’ Harry insisted.

‘You’re making me angry and I’m supposed to be calmed,’ Hermione said with a grin on her face, Harry groaned.

‘You’re not playing fair.’ He said accusingly, she just smiled widely as they left the hospital from the muggle exit as to go to the café Hermione knew.

They moved out of the hospital and in the little muggle street, they smiled at each other as they wrapped fully their arms around each other and started walking, they didn’t made more than three steps. There waiting was Ron, waiting for them with his arms in his pockets, his face a mask of anger already.

‘Finally, the lovebirds.’ He said and straiten up, only one of his hands remaining in his wand pocket. Harry moved in instinct in front of Hermione.

‘Ron, we can talk in private,’ Harry said, he could fight with Ron anytime, they’ve done it before, for fun or even for practice and he knew he could win but right now Hermione was in a delicate condition and Harry wasn’t jeopardizing her for Ron or anything in the world.

‘Talk about what? How she screwed you? How she’s expecting your bastard? How long have you been screwing behind mine and Ginny’s back, I have nothing to hear! Enough with the lies!’ Ron started, his voice rising in each word to a shrieking point.

‘Ron please, calm down, we can explain,’ Hermione said and moved from behind Harry who tried to stop her by gripping her hand, they both knew how absurd Ron could be when he was furious.

‘You won’t speak to me again, ever, I had enough from both of you, traitors!’ Ron shouted and this time took out his wand, Harry was a heartbeat behind, the scene was surreal with the two best friends pointing their wands at each other and Hermione being almost in the middle.

‘Ron please, we don’t have to do it this way,’ Harry said, his arm never falling. Hermione looked between the two men and got fully in the middle, hoping she won’t be attacked by Ron, she knew him, he could never hurt her no matter how angry he could be, no matter how much he hated her.

‘Please Ron, you have every right to be mad at us but please, listen to us, you and I were already over when... things happened, please just listen to us.’ Hermione said, trying to find some logic in all this, they were guilty indeed but exchanging curses in the middle of a muggle street wouldn’t solve anything.

‘You and this bastard destroyed mine and my sister’s lives! You were supposed to be my best friends, the ones I trusted the most, the ones I loved the most, but no of course not, you had to go and screw each other! Ginny and I weren’t enough for the great ones, Potter and Granger-‘

‘Ron this is nonsense… We never--’ Harry tried to interrupt but that was the moment Ron burst.

‘SHE’S PREGNANT WITH YOUR BASTARD, ASSHOLE AND MY WORDS ARE NONSENCE?!’ Ron bellowed and this time Harry pulled Hermione from between him and Ron as the redhead casted a stunning spell the same moment Harry was casting a disarming one.

‘NO, STOP!’ Hermione screamed and that moment Harry felt a huge wave of power that had nothing to do with Ron’s spell washing over the small street and crashing against him and everything around him, the next thing he knew was his pointless try to help the falling Hermione before blackness could take over his mind.

Hermione woke up on a bed, she looked around her and almost groaned as she realized she was back in a hospital bed in less than a month’s time, her hand flew on her stomach, hoping with all her heart her baby was fine.

‘I think I asked you to be careful and not to be stressed,’ the voice of healer Morris was heard and Hermione focused on her right, where the voice was heard, the healer smiled at Hermione as she moved even closer.

‘Is the baby alright? Where is Harry?’ Hermione asked as everything that took place out of the hospital came back to her, panic filled her hear at the memory of Harry and Ron casting spells at each other.

‘They’re in the spell damage ward, they were both inured by your wave instead of the spells they exchanged with such grace before a pregnant woman who is suffering by the waves,’ Christina said disapprovingly as Hermione tried to sit up, the healer helped her. ‘Hermione, I’m not judging here but you need to take things easy, you haven’t probably realized that you can irreparably damage your child by casting so much stress upon yourself.’ The healer said and Hermione felt like crying, she knew she was pregnant and she always was a responsible person but the last weeks’ events, twists and turns had proved her a person who had lost any control upon her own life.

‘I know, I’ll try to short everything out,’ Hermione only said as the healer helped her on her feet, Hermione was feeling dizzy but right now she wanted to see Harry, she wanted to make sure he was fine.

Together the two women moved through the floors and soon Hermione was in a corridor she knew all too well from the times Harry or some of his co-Authors would come in the hospital injured. Christina pointed her finger at a door on their right but Hermione’s eyes were glued on the family across the corridor, the entire Weasley clan was talking with a healer of the ward, at first none seemed to notice Hermione standing on the other side of the corridor but after a few moments Ginny turned her head and looked around, that moment the two women’s eyes locked with each other. Ginny’s face was fierce when Hermione’s was apologetic, Hermione didn’t need to hear Ginny blaming her for all the things she had the right to blame her, only her eyes were enough, after a moment Hermione broke the eye contract and entered the room Christina had pointed.

She entered the room and with a sigh closed her eyes and leaned against the door, everything was a mess and she was way too naïve to believe that things could even be a bit better when she and Harry would stop hiding. She opened her eyes and moved closer to the only bed of the room where Harry was laid, sleeping under potions Hermione guessed. She sat on a chair close to the bed and took Harry’s unmoving hand, she hated seeing him like this, damaged and hurt because of her and not just on the physical level, they had both lost friends and people considered family and yet they had so many more to face, people like her parents, people that they might lose as well.

Hermione’s other hand moved on her stomach again and the first tears started falling from her eyes and running down her cheeks, when she was younger when she was thinking of sacrificing everything for Harry she meant it and with a smile through the tears she was glad to find herself still being able to do the same, this time not only for the man she always loved but also for the little one she was sharing with him. God, she loved Harry for all her life and she already adored her little baby but things around her were so cruel, none understood them, none agreed with them, none accepted the two of them but yet, probably none had experienced so much as to understand them, none had been through hell and back holding hands with the only person you could trust, none of the people she knew had shared what Hermione had shared with Harry.

Monsters, Dementors, time traveling, Death Eaters, snowy days in Hogwarts grounds, grim nights and fights in the castle’s inside, snowing nights in graveyards at Christmas or tortures over betraying each other, only the two of them had been through all this and with a sad smile Hermione almost understood everyone who wanted her head on a plate right now, they couldn’t see how much she and Harry needed to be with each other, how much they loved each other.

‘I love you,’ Hermione said quietly as the tears kept leaving her eyes, Harry was still unmoving but she hoped he could listen to her because right now she needed to take it all out. ‘I love you and our baby and I swear to Merlin that I won’t let you down, I know that for the last days I have been keeping my wards up but I love you, Harry, for years now, you were and still are the centre of my universe and this is something none can change, for no reason at all.’ Hermione said as she was looking at her lap and back on Harry’s face repeatedly.

‘I love you and I know you love me too and even if many people are against us, even if even more people are gonna be against us, I don’t care because I have given everything as to help and save and love you because you’re my reason for being. And even if at the end of the day it’s going to be only you and me and our baby, I’m fine with it because after all, it was always you and me, always the two of us when Voldemort was right behind us, or when our best friend betrayed and left the both of us in the middle of nowhere I had you and you had me and that made it for us to survive every painful day and every cold night at that tent.’ Hermione went on and her voice became stronger.

‘I love you and I’m ready to fight for you like I did before, I’m ready to face the guilt and the pain and the insults and the scandal because only you and the little one matters to me, nothing and none else, I don’t care if we’ll die old and alone with a son or a daughter caring for us and checking on us every so often, once I thought I wouldn’t make it for the next day because your life was on the line so I don’t care what people are gonna do to take us down because I know they just can’t, pain and death didn’t make it so a bunch of red tempered people won’t make it either.’ Hermione said and her voice was steady and clear at the end of her little speech, she brushed her tears away and rubbed her stomach more, looking at her lap, she gasped when she felt a hand touching her face slightly.

‘I love you too, Mione,’ Harry said with his voice harsh after the pain and the sleep. He had heard her entering the room and he had guessed she had encountered the Weasleys outside, the moment she entered the room and leaned against the door Harry thought she was there to say goodbye, he thought she was giving up on them after all this pressure, he had underrated her, his Hermione would never do such thing, not after what they had been through, not even after what they were through, Hermione was there but his fear of facing the world alone had made him question her for those moments.

When she had started confessing to him how she felt his heart ached and he wanted to take her in his arms and never let her go but he forced himself to stay still and listen to her, he knew she needed to take it all out of her system and he needed to listen to her doing so because he wanted her words’ and truth’s comfort.

‘I love you and even if I can’t express myself as well as you can, I won’t let anyone to stand between us or before our child, they will have to face me first and if they can’t accept us, they can stay away, we’ll find our happiness no matter what, we have suffered enough,’ Harry said and Hermione nodded her head and moved closer to him, Harry made some space and Hermione laid next to him, the couple wrapping their arms around each other, one of Harry’s hands resting above where their baby was growing.

‘I’m so sorry for injuring you,’ Hermione said after a moment and Harry chuckled and hugged her even closer.

‘I knew you would get me laid sooner or later,’ Harry said and they both laughed quietly as Hermione slapped his arm playfully before he could capture her lips with his, enjoying another moment of peace in each other’s arms.
