Harry Potter One Shots And Imagines II

Pregnant- Hermione Granger (c)

You were in your early years working at St Mungo's so when Hermione had a medical question for you, who better to turn to than her best friend. It wasn't unusual for your friends to come to you with normal medical questions than you'd either answer or send them on to someone to get it checked out, but this time Hermione was rather nervous about talking to you. She told you about her persisting nausea and frequent vomiting along with the various aches and pains that she'd been experiencing. To top it all off, she disclosed her non-existent menstrual cycle and you knew where her nervousness was coming from.

"Have you taken a muggle test?" You questioned.

She nodded her head. "Positive."

"Then I don't know what else I can say 'mione, I think you might be pregnant but I can get you in to see a proper healer to make certain of that," you said with a gentle smile.

Hermione held her head in her hands, not wanting something like that to be true. One day she did want children but with a promising career in the ministry of magic, a child would likely just get in the way. It was hard enough being a woman in politics, but a mother as well just made things worse.

"How am I meant to tell him?" She questioned.

"Hermione, you've been dating Ron for five years, you must have talked about kids at some point."

She nodded her head once more. "We just didn't plan for things to move this quickly. I thought we would be married before we had a child. Ron isn't going to want to step down as Auror and I don't want to step down from my career. I don't know what I am meant to do."

You rested a gentle hand to her shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile.

"You have options Hermione but before you worry yourself, you need to be sure that you are pregnant. You've been stressed lately, and stress can do a lot of different things to the body. Whatever the answer is though, you know I am here for you and I have no doubt that Ron will do the same," you assured her.

Hermione hugged you gently, lingering in the embrace, not wanting to let go. She knew that she needed to make sure of the fact but seen as she didn't want the answer, it wouldn't be that simple.
