What is it, Nym?

Chapter 9

A knock on the door, woke us up. It had been a few days since we found out, and a Saturday. So, we were sleeping late. I sat up, and nudged Nym. She sat up, looking at me. She can be ......... Grumpy, when she's tired.

"What's wrong?"

"There's someone at the door. I'll sort out in here, if you get that."

I looked around. I grabbed my wand and the clothes which had been strewn around the room, (we'd been ...... Busy the previous night). flew into the laundry basket. Nym grabbed some jeans, and went to answer the door. I got changed, and walked into the living room and found Tonks talking to my parents.

They looked at me when I walked in.

"Hermione! How are you?"

"Fine, dad. I thought you weren't coming today?"

My dad shook his head. They had cancelled today.

"We thought we'd surprise you. How have you two been?"

I looked at my mum, who had been interrogating Nym. Nym looked at me, trying not to smile.

"Fine. Busy with work, but OK."

"Nothing bad, I hope?"

I shook my head, telling her it wasn't anything1. She turned to Nym, and started asking her about the twins.

"Actually, we just found out that it's twins girls. We've decided on Natalia and Hope."

They were both happy about that, they knew that we had decided on names for boys to. We told them about the nursery and they wanted to see it. We walked in and my mum loved it.

"I came home to find a very tired Hermione and this."

My mum looked at me, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I had help. I didn't do all of this by myself."

"Well, it's lovely. How far along are you now?"

"20 weeks."

My mum nodded and we walked back into the living room and sat down. My dad was watching us, and I noticed him smile when Nym grabbed my hand.

"How are you feeling?"

Nym shrugged, and started to say that she was OK.

"You are not. Her back's been at her."

Nym glared at me, but my mum smiled. She shifted, and I could tell it was bothering her again.

"It's bothering you now, isn't it?"

Nym nodded, and my mum stood up.

"Come on, sit up."

Nym wasn't used to my mum doing this stuff for her, but she sat up. My mum re organised some pillows and Nym sat back.

"Better?"

Nym nodded, smiling.

"Yeah. Thank you."

My mum shook her head, telling her it was no problem.

"It's fine. I had that with Hermione."

I just looked at her, but she didn't say anything else.

"Have you seen Ron? He hasn't been bothering you, has he?"

Oh great, this is going to be awkward.

"Yeah, I have. He doesn't like the fact I'm happy with someone else. He actually trashed my office, and started talking about how we should have these two."
