After (Dramione)

Chapter 9

The days had passed, then the weeks. To celebrate the victory against the Dark Lord the headmistress and the teachers had decided to throw a Christmas ball on the eve of the holidays.

This is how Hermione ended up in Diagon Alley, along with Pansy. The future mother had obtained exceptional permissions to make purchases for her baby.

During one of those afternoons they had been with Madame Guipure. So she was looking at the dresses Pansy offered her.

It wasn't really easy. Almost six months pregnant, the Gryffindor couldn't find a dress that didn't show her belly too much. Some people weren't ready to know. Suddenly her gaze fell on THE dress.

Her friend was lost in the shelves so she asked the seamstress to use the spell that changed the size of the clothes according to the wearer on the dress she had seen. Entering the cabin with the dress the young woman undressed and looked at herself in the mirror. Her body had no more bruises, no bumps and above all her figure was again pleasing to the eye, she had regained her healthy weight.

Paying attention she put on the dress and looked at herself in the mirror. It was an elegant A-line dress, the shoulders were bare and the long sleeves were soft tulle, the bottom of the dress was what is called a brush train. The front of the skirt was slit and pearls adorned the neckline.

Calling for Pansy she prepared to leave the cubicle wearing the lilac-colored dress. Seeing her Pansy almost started screaming. It was this one.

Delighted she changed, leaving the cabin her friend presented her with heeled shoes. Hermione immediately refused, she wasn't used to wearing them and she didn't want to risk falling as she was about to finish her fifth month of pregnancy around prom.

It didn't take long for her to find the pair of shoes she wanted, they were all plain, the same color as her dress, and had very small heels.

The Slytherin had also found her happiness in the end. In the evening when they returned and found the boys they told them about their finds, while remaining surprised.

The subject had turned out only to Quidditch without anyone knowing how it was produced. The boys were talking loudly with those who were at their table. Everyone had a different opinion on who could win this year. All of a sudden Hermione screamed, putting a hand on her stomach.

- That nobody move!

All the greens and silvers nearby fell silent in an instant and looked at her.

-What's going on Granger?

-The baby kicked!

Apart from her three friends, no one understood immediately. Draco, the shining gaze rested his hand on the Gryffindor's stomach when she nodded.

He smiled like a child when the little girl, hiding toasty, kicked again where his hand was resting.

Theodore Nott, who had asked the question, was the first to understand.

-By Salazar, Granger are you pregnant ?!

A leaden silence fell in the great hall. The chief prefect had spoken much too loudly.

Ron had let go of his fork and he was in a violent fit of coughing. Ginny had spat out her pumpkin juice, half through her mouth and half through her nose.

-Theo couldn't you scream louder? I don't think they heard you at Hogsmeade!

Scolded by Pansy the boy lowered his head. Hermione put her hand on his shoulder.
