walk like an egyptian

Draco's POV

Hermione began rambling. "You have got to be kidding me! One kid with this dude was bad enough, but now three? I'm screwed! My life is over! I'm-"

"Stress is bad for the babies," Vi interrupted. "Please try to calm down."

I smirked. Telling Granger to calm down was like asking for a death wish.

"Calm down? At a time like this you want me to calm down? Alright, ma'am, I think you've overstepped your boundaries," Hermione shot back.

"Please, miss, consider seeing reason. Yelling at me is not going to change your predicament," Vi sighed.

"Ugh, fine," Granger concluded.

"What are we going to do?" I asked Hermione, still shocked to my core that she was pregnant with my child, let alone there being three of them.

She opted not to answer me and turned towards Luna. "Could you tell? That there were three of them, I mean."

"Not at all. I'm good, but I'm not that good," she responded.

"Okay, okay, this will be okay. It's just three babies. Only three little midgets... that happen to be the loin fruit of the man I can't stand. Oh my god, I'm ruined!" Hermione began hyperventilating.

"Stop, Granger. If stress isn't good for them, hyperventilation can't be great either," I commented.

She began calming down, but shot a very dirty look at me. "This is all your fault," she pouted.

"Wa-What? How could I control this situation?"

"Why didn't you tell me triplets run in your family?"

"They don't!"

"Oh."

"Would you like to hear their heartbeats?" Vi asked us both.

"Oh, yes, please," Hermione answered.

"Comadomori!" Vi whispered as she pointed her wand at the bottom left side of Hermione's womb.

A gentle thump-thump sound filled the room. It was a constant beating that signified that the baby the wand was pointed at was truly there; truly alive.

My face melted into a grin as Hermione beamed. The thump-thump continued until Vi waved her wand again.

"Alright! That was baby A's heartbeat, which is the baby that will be born first. That's a nice, strong heartbeat for a multiple this size!" Vi smiled.

She waved her wand again and another thumping sound erupted in the room; this one a bit deeper than the other.

"Baby B's heartbeat. Healthy as well," she commented.

She waved her wand one last time and the sound of the third baby's heartbeat filled the room. This one sounded similar to the one before it, but the thumps were a bit more spaced out.

"And that was Baby C. Each of your bundles of joy have very impressive heartbeats. Congratulations!" She announced.

I looked down at Granger, and a few small tear tracks were streaming down her face. She was grinning with glee, but sobbing at the same time. I leaned down and gently wiped one of the tear tracks away. "Hormones," I sighed at Vi, rolling my eyes playfully.

"Alright, Mr. High-and-Mighty! Try carrying three kids, then you have the right to complain," she huffed.

"You've officially completed your first ultrasound, Ms. Granger. You're free to leave as soon as you wish," Vi grinned.

"We should go. Ginny will surely want to know all about your visit," Luna suggested to Hermione.

We filled out the paperwork and went our separate ways.

Hermione's POV

Ginny, Luna, and I were currently in Ginny's living room, lying across the floor. I had just finished describing the ultrasound in detail to her, and she had been ecstatic to learn that I was having triplets.

"I know it's crazy, but he told me triplets don't run in his family and they definitely don't run in mine, so I guess it's just some crazy coincidence," I sighed.

"Well, that's incredible. And I call dibs to being the godmother of at least one of them, you owe me," Ginny laughed.

"Owe you? Since when! You were the one who wanted to make me James' godmother!" I gasped.

"Uh-huh. You practically begged me, Hermione. 'Oh please, Ginny, don't you love me? If you loved me you'd make me godmother of little Jamesy!' were basically your words, so don't give me that 'I didn't make you' crap."

"Fine, whatever, whatever. What should we do now?" I asked them both.

"Ooh, dancing would be lovely. It's a good exercise to use to keep the nargles at bay," Luna offered.

I snorted. "If you say so, Luna."

Wannabe by The Spice Girls had just concluded, so I ran over to the radio. "I have a song!" I yelled.

"What is it?" Ginny asked.

"You'll see."

I popped the CD in and the opening beat for one of Ginny and I's favorite songs started. She smiled a knowing smile at Luna, who looked a bit confused.

In sync, Ginny and I began to blare,

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know?
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

We began spinning around and Luna stared at us, bewildered.

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

We continued dancing about as Luna began to get the drift and started shaking her hips from side to side.

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian

It was then that Ginny and I lost our shit. We started doing the Egyptian dance all around her living room, and even journeyed into the kitchen. Luna quickly joined in, though not as enthusiastically as Ginny and I.

Once the song concluded, all three of us collapsed on the couch to catch our breath.

"And you guys call me weird," Luna sighed in disbelief.

We burst out laughing.

A/N

Three orders of business:

1. This chapter is 1,000 words long so I'm quite happy w myself atm :).

2. WandaVision is so good. Wanda has always been one of my fav avengers, so her getting her own show (especially when it's so good) is very exciting 😌.

3. Walk like an Egyptian is a great song by a great band, and I love it so much. It's an oldie, but I have many memories of my mom blasting this song in the car or doing the just dance of this song w me. We actually watched the music video together today so that's what gave me the idea to put it in this chapter. It's pure nostalgia, and it's also in the media card at the top of the chapter if you swipe past the nature pic. I truly recommended, it's a bop :)).

Love you, and thanks for reading!
