After everyone piled into Hermione's room, Poppy cleared her throat. "Hermione is going to be okay, but she is going to need our help." "Help? What kind of help?" Molly asked in a concern voice. "I'm pregnant." Hermione spoke up before Poppy could continue. Everyone looked at her confused. "Remember when Harry, Ron, and I told you we were held prisoner at Malfoy Manor?" Everyone nods silently. "And that I was the one they mostly tortured..?" Hermione and Poppy watched as realization crossed their faces.

After a while, Molly spoke up, "Oh, Hermione. You should be at home with us so I can take care of you. Stress is not good for the baby." "No! I am staying here to finish my studies."

"Are you sure, Hermione?" Minerva finally spoke up. "Yes, professor. And I know I can't do this myself. That is why I'm telling you all. No one else knows. Not even Ron and Harry. And I would like to keep it like that."

"Are you sure you don't want them to know? They are your Best friends." Molly asked. "I'm sure. Ron will just explode and that'll really stress me out. And Harry will just baby me. I don't need that." "Okay, Hermione. We won't say anything."

Poppy finally spoke, "Hermione, you will come see me once every two weeks for check ups. But, I also want you to start going to therapy." "No. I don't want to go to a therapist. I know I'm having trouble coping, but I don't want to go to someone who is paid to ask me questions. I'd rather talk to someone, one of you, perhaps. I trust you all.." Hermione finishes with a whisper.

Severus decided to speak, "Hermione, I assure you, we will not send you to a therapist of you do not want to you, but only if you promise to talk to one of us at least once a week and any time you have any nightmares. Can you agree to that?"

"Does that include you, sir?" Hermione asked. Severus was taken aback by her question. Why would someone want to come to him for help? The greasy dungeon bat? But he doesn't want her to continue down this path of destruction. "Yes, you can come to me if you choose."
