"I was here a few days earlier, with Snape." Draco started, "And I heard him talking to Dumbledore, and I think he might play a role in you being pregnant," He looked at them to see if they were paying attention.
"Go on, we're paying attention." Harry said.
"Yes, well," Draco said. "He was talking about a potion, I'm not sure which. But he was talking about you two. He's got a plan, and it's not for good either. He's planning something. I'm not sure what, but he is. And I think it might even be deadly," Once those words came out of his mouth Hermione gasped.
"Deadly?" Hermione said barely above a whisper, "Why, why would he do that?" Harry took her in his arms and rubbed her back.
"Mal-Draco, do you think you could give us some more information?" Harry asked hopefully.
He nodded and added, "don't think this means were best friends, like you and Weasley."
"No, but how about starting off slow?" Hermione suddenly asked. Draco eyed them both carefully for a minute before nodding.
"But, not a word to anyone. At least not right now." Draco said.
"Silent agreement?" Harry asked, Draco looked at him for another moment, but nodded.
"It's late, not even a day into school and we're going to get in trouble. Better get going," Harry said. The three headed off back to the castle, and to their respected dorms.
Harry woke up with three blurry heads looking down at him. He had no idea why they were looking at him, but he knew whatever they had to say was not good. He got his glasses by his bedside table and put them on. That's when he saw in focus, Neville, Seamus, and Dean, all staring at him.
"What do you want?" Harry asked frustrated. They were staring at him for Merlin know's how long, and still weren't talking. Harry look his wand and pointed it at them, "I'm giving you one chance, why are you staring?"
"Where were you last night?" Dean finally said, Neville and Seamus were looking at him intently. Ron was no where in sight.
"Somewhere," Harry said, "Where's Ron?"
"Breakfast," The three of them said at once. Harry reluctantly got up from bed and got clean, he went downstairs where he found Hermione sitting on the couch, patiently waiting for him.
"Hey love," Harry said as he gently kissed her.
"Hey, Harry." Hermione said, she winced in pain and put her hand on her stomach. "I think the twins are saying hello too." Hermione winced in pain again.
"They're kicking already?" Harry asked amazed. "In that case, hello kiddies. I'm your daddy." Harry said joyfully.
"Harry, people are staring." Hermione whispered. Harry backed away from Hermione. They both went into the Great Hall to eat breakfast. They saw Draco pass by and the three of them nodded at each other. They went to the Gryffindor table and saw that Ron was already almost done with his food and getting ready to leave.
"What's wrong with him?" Hermione asked Harry as they started filling up their plates.
"I dunno," Harry started, "he wasn't there this morning when I woke up."
Once they were done they headed off to their first class of the day, Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry and Hermione sat next to each other and waited for their teacher to arrive.
"Ah, fourth year. McGonagal talked to me about something.'' Professor Moody said. Everyone ignored him, he kept going. "Anyone, tell me about the unforgivable curses?"
Hermione's hand shot up, as usual.
"Yes, Miss Granger." Moody growled. Hermione explained why they were called the unforgivable's and what would happen if one were to use them.
"Yes, yes very good. 10 points to Gryffindor." Moody said. "Someone tell me what one of the Unforgivable's are."
Neville's hand hesitantly went up, "Yes, Mister Longbottom" Moody said, his magical eye swirling around looking at the class.
"One is," Neville started, "the Cruciatus curse"
"Ah yes, you would know about that wouldn't you," Moody grumbled. He took a swing of from his flask and went to a jar holding a spider.
"See class, the Cruciatus curse," he demonstrated on the class. He whipped out his wand and cast 'Crucio' the spider instantly started squirming and looked to be in a lot of pain. After another few seconds he let it go. "Do you know any other?" Ron's hand went up, "Mister Weasley."
"It's something like, Imperius curse." Ron said, as he slumped back into his seat by Neville. Moody smiled a sinister smile and went back up to the spider. He took out his wand and cast the spell, in an instant with his wand, the spider went was bouncing around the students. Everyone thought it was funny but Moody.
"You think it's funny, don't you?" Moody growled, "how'd you like it if I did it to you?" Instantly everyone stopped laughing, "Total Control, that's what it is. Anyways, someone tell me the third Unforgivable."
Hermione's hand went up, "Yes Miss Granger," Moody was watching her with his normal eye, and his magical eye was scanning her stomach. "Interesting," he mumbled.
"The Avada Kedavra Professor sir," Hermione said.
"Ah, yes, the Avada Kedvara, the Killing curse." Moody continued, "Only one person is known to have survived it, and he is sitting right here in this classroom." Moody said looking at Harry.
Moody went up to his desk where the spider was laying, "Everyone, look." he growled. He pointed his wand at the spider and cast the words, "Avada Kedvara," a green light came from his wand, and the spider lay motionless. Dead. That was when Harry realized, that was the curse Lord Voldermort used on his parent's that night.
"Class is over, remember kids. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" Moody roared.
"That was interesting," Hermione said. She took Harry's hand and walked down to their other class. She noticed that people were eyeing her and started to point and whisper. "Harry,"
"Hmm," Harry said not paying attention to anyone. Than he noticed that everyone was staring and pointing. "Oh, they were about to find out sooner or later 'Mione." Harry gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
Classes passed by quickly, Ron sleeping during classes, Hermione having mood swings, and Harry having to calm her down. They were about to go to dinner when McGonagall called them into their office.
"Potter, Granger. I need to know a few details, are you having a male or female?" McGonagall started, "Or two of one?"
"We are having a boy and a girl," Hermione said. The older witch nodded and proceeded to write down a few things down. She continued to ask them questions such as what color would they like the rooms to be, etc.
"Ok, you two may leave," Minerva said.
Harry and Hermione left their office and went to the Great Hall. When they went through, they saw everyone looking at Hermione with the utmost interest. Harry took her hand and they went to the Gryffindor table. When they sat down girls started whispering furiously, and no sooner did Parvati Patil come up to Hermione.
"So its true!" Parvati squealed. "You are pregnant! Wait until the girls get a load of this!" She said before leaving Hermione.
"Oh. My. God." Lavender said, who was sitting across from Hermione and Harry. "Aren't you a little, young?" She asked while staring at Harry with a dreamy look on her face.
"No, I don't," Hermione said sternly, "I'm perfectly responsible for children. Now If you don't mind. Harry and I are trying to eat dinner." Lavender glared at her and started to whisper to Parvati.
Dumbledore stood up from where he was sitting to get everyone's attention. "Tomorrow, Beauxbatons and Drumstrang schools will be arriving at Hogwarts," he said. "That is all, you may go back to your dinner."
"Where do you think they're going to stay?" Harry asked Hermione as they made their way to the Gryffindor common rooms.
"I'm not very sure actually," She started. "They might stay with the other houses. I don't know." She saw that some of the students were whispering about them, but they ignored that. A first year girl with blond hair and brown eyes came up to them.
"Are you going to be a mommy?" The little girl asked. "And are you going to be a daddy?"
Harry smiled at her before nodding his head. "Yes, we are. Who told you?" Harry asked.
"Everyone is talking about it," the girl said before taking off.
"Well, looks like everyone know's now Harry." Hermione sighed, "I'm going to bed now, I'll see you tomorrow," she said. She kissed him on the cheek and went to the fourth year dorm. Harry did the same. When he got up there he saw everyone grinning at him.
"Why are you grinning?" Harry asked.
"Well, you got her knocked up," Dean said. Harry just rolled his eyes, put on his pajamas and went to sleep.
"People really need to stop gossiping," Harry mumbled before sleeping.
The next morning Harry woke up fully energized, he got up from bed at took the days clothes. He showered, brushed his teeth and went down to see Hermione waiting for him. They smiled at each other and headed off for breakfast.
"What do you think we're going to do in DADA today?" Harry asked while he helped himself to sausage, bacon and eggs. Hermione was eating double, sausage, eggs, bacon, toast, and lots of fruit.
"I don't really know," Hermione said as she started on her eggs. "Probably more of the Unforgivable curses." Harry nodded and they ate their breakfast despite the constant talking amongst their friends.
Harry and Hermione met Draco in a corner by the bathroom, before DADA started. "Did you find anything else out?" Hermione asked hopefully.
"No," Draco said glumly. "The only thing I found out what that you two are expecting twins, a boy and girl. Also that McGonagall is making rooms for you guys."
"Yeah, she is." Hermione said. "Oh, we've best be getting to class, it starts in about 5min." they nodded and left to their class.
"Today, I'll be casting the Imperious on you — you lot remember what it is?" Moody said. The class told them what it was, he seemed pretty impressed. "Ok, now Thomas, get up here." He roared.
Dean went up to the middle of the classroom, "Imperio," Moody said. Dean started to prance around singing lullabies to all of the Slytherins. Next was Lavender, she started to crawl and act like an infant. Than was Parvati, she started doing advanced Bharatanatyam dances.
"Potter," Moody growled. "You next."
Harry was excited, so he went up to the middle of the room with a sort of, strut. Moody cast the spell upon him, Harry felt a distant sound telling him in the back of his mind to jump.
Jump on the desk . . .
But than another distant voice asked, why?
Jump. On. The. Desk.
But I don't want to, the other voice said.
Harry was fighting his body, to jump or not to jump.
JUMP ON THE DESK!
Harry fought with all his might, until he both jumped and stayed. Thus, crashing headfirst into the desk.
"Now that's more like it!" Moody praised, "he fought – and almost beat it!"
"Yeah, thanks." Harry said attempting to get up. "I think I'll just sit over here."
"Oh no you don't Potter," Moody growled. "You almost beat it. You're going to do it until you do beat it. Won't be long."
"Argh, my legs hurt." Harry said to Ron and Hermione. He had to do two more times until he finally beat it, Ron was having a lot of difficulty beating it. Hermione wasn't allowed to try it.
"Yeah, well. At least you beat it. I had to skip around the room singing 'I feel pretty' in front of everyone!" Ron said.
"Well," Hermione snapped. "Perhaps you should've fought it!"
"I did Hermione!" Ron yelled. "Sorry if I'm not the-boy-who-lived here!"
"Hey, hey. Leave me out of this." Harry said.
"Harry's nothing to do with this!" Hermione yelled.
"Yeah he does!" Ron spat back. "Always comparing me to him! Always need perfection don't you?!"
"What? I'm not perfect." Harry snapped. They were fighting on the bottom of the steps and it was a miracle that no one asked for the Professors.
"YES YOU ARE!" Ron Yelled. "YOU'RE HARRY BLOODY POTTER! THE-BOY-WHO-LIVED. YOU'RE RICH, YOU'RE POWERFUL, YOU'VE GOT HERMIONE, HELL EVEN THE GIRLS LOVE THOSE GEEKY GLASSES AND YOUR EYES!" He yelled. "AND WHAT AM I? THE BLOODY SIDEKICK! NUMBER TWO! THE BACKUP! WELL YOU KNOW WHAT!? I'M SICK OF IT!" He punched Harry in the jaw and fell to the floor. He got back up seconds later and attacked Ron with punches to his jaw, and stomach.
"YOU BLOODY IDIOT!" Harry said in between punches. "I'M NOT BLOODY PERFECT! I DON'T WANT THE MONEY, I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M POWERFUL, I CAN'T HELP IT IF GIRLS LIKE MY EYES OR GLASSES!"
"ENOUGH!" Professor Snape yelled. He cast a body binding spell on Ron and Harry. "What is the meaning of this rubbish! Detention for a week and twenty points off of Gryffindor!" He let go of the body bind and they got up.
"Sorry sir," they both said in unison. Ron was bleeding from his lip and nose, while Harry just got away with a torn robe, and broken glasses.
"Go to Poppy, Weasley," Snape said bitterly. He nodded and headed to the Hospital wing.
"Oh Harry!" Hermione cried once everyone cleared up and they were heading outside. "He was awful! I would never compare you two! You know that don't you?" Hermione said on the verge of tears.
"Yes 'Mione, I know that you'd never do that." Harry said grabbing her hand. She instantly became happy again.
"Here, let me fix your glasses and robe," Hermione said. She said the spells and his glasses and robe were repaired. Together they went to the bridge where the other students were. They saw a huge carriage, the size of a house, zooming towards Hogwarts being pulled by winged horses.
"Look!" Neville exclaimed. "that woman is huge!" he was pointing to a large woman that was very tall. She had short black hair, and black eyes. There were beautiful women emerging from the huge carriage after her, they wore silky blue dresses and a blue hat that was tilted. Not more than 5 minutes later did someone else shout out.
"Look!" Someone yelled out, "look at the lake!"
A ship was emerging from the lake, it looked as if it were in a wreck, the ship was black with torn sails. It looked more like a haunted pirate ship than a school ship. The lights were dim on the ship, as the ship began to glide onto the edge of the lake. There were students emerging wearing, black fur coats and a slight scowl imprinted upon their faces.
Harry noticed the bushy eyebrows and the crooked nose on one of the students; Victor Krum. Imagine the look on Ron's face when he finds out that Krum is here. Harry thought to himself.
"Isn't that Victor Krum?" Hermione asked Harry.
"Yup," Harry said simply, as they disappeared into the crowd of students. They made their way into the Great Hall where all the students were talking about the students, and the hot topic right now. Victor Krum.
"Silence students," Dumbledore said over the chatting students. "We've two schools, Beauxbatons and Drumstrang. I'd like to welcome the headmaster of Beauxbatons school; Madam Maxime."
The same large women stood up, she was atleast 7 feet tall and had short black hair. She had black eyes and a toothy smile. "Thank you for ze vonderful welcoming. I really appreciate it." She said as she sat back down.
"Now, students. I'd like you to meet The headmaster of Drumstrang, Karkaroff," Dumbledore said, a man with a fur hat, a goatee and had a slight scowl on his face, stood up. He didn't say anything, just sat back down after a few moments. "The tournament will officially be opened after the feast, we shall see who the three champions are on Halloween night," Dumbledore said.
Harry and Hermione went to the room where the Goblet of Fire was, it was a sparkling blue - metallic color, with the wor printed on it. It had blue flames burning on it, everyone that was atleast 17 were putting their names in it, than walked in Cedric Diggory.
"Go Diggory!" Girls shouted. The boys were giving them their ''manly'' praises. Than Victor Krum came in, the room suddenly went silent.
He put in his name and glanced at Hermione who was reading a book. He smirked at Harry and left. Than the room went loud and everyone started shouting again as the twins, Fred and George came in.
"Yes, yes. We've done it–" Fred shouted over the students.
"We've outsmarted Dumbledore–" George said.
"Ready Fred?" said George
"Ready George." Fred said.
"Bottoms up!" they said as they crossed their arms and drank the potion. The students cheered as they jumped over the age line, they put their names in. The students went wild, and a few moments later, the twins were thrown out of the age circle and started to rapidly grow white beared with matching white hair.
"You said!–"
"You said!–"
They started to throw punches at each other while everyone was roaring with laughter. Dumbledore came in within 5minutes and broke up the little fight.
"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore said. "I suggest you go to the hospital wing, unless of corse that is, if you fancy white beards with white hair." Dumbledore said smiling. Fred and George broke apart and went to the hospital wing. "Ok children, anyone who is under 17, please leave," he instructed. Everyone mumbled something about it not being fair, but they eventually left.
"Where do you think Ron is?" Hermione asked as they left.
"I don't really know," Harry said. He grabbed her hand and they headed off to the common rooms, "you know your birthday is in a few days. Do you know what you want?" He asked as they sat on the couch.
"Nothing, you're giving me children. That's enough." Hermione said as she snuggled closer to Harry. He started stroking her hair.
"Well, your going to be 14, that's important. Isn't it?" Harry said. Hermione smiled at him and kissed him.
"Not really," Hermione said as she got up. "I've got a great boyfriend, I'm going to be a mother, what else could I ask for?"
"I don't know," Harry smiled as he too got up, "look, I'm going to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok, good night Harry," Hermione said as she kissed him.
"Goodnight my love," Harry said as he kissed her forehead, "and good night kids, don't give mum too much trouble ok?" Harry smiled as he kissed her stomach.
They went up to their dorms with a pleasant sleep awaiting them.
