~Malfoy Manor~
"Well, well, well it looks like I'm too late, no matter; Potter will just die sooner, one less problem."
The happy couple whirled around to face Voldemort. A scared look came across Hermione's face as she placed a protective hand on her belly. Which you could now tell was there as the glamor charm was off. Voldemort saw this action and laughed.
"Don't worry my dear I won't hurt our child. After I kill Potter, I will raise the child to take over after myself. It will be perfect, Harry Potter's own child; the heir of Lord Voldemort, it will show my power." Voldemort stated.
"You will never win Tom. I will see to that." Dumbledore said
"You think you can stop me you old fool, I will win and I will have everything that I want. That includes the all the power that comes with it."
"Prepare to die Voldemort because you will have to kill me before I let you anywhere near my wife and child."
"Hahahahaha, I'll make you a deal Potter, you hand over Hermione, and I promise to kill you fast."
"In your dreams, I will never give you Hermione."
The others watched as Harry and Voldemort went back and forth at each other.
"Let's end this now, a fight to the death right here."
NO! Harry you can't, I won't let you, not here." Hermione then whispered in his ear "We need time to get everyone ready, there is no way we can take him, he'll just call his death eaters to him."
"My dear sweet Hermione is right, we will meet at Hogwarts in two hours and then I will kill you Potter." With that Voldemort was gone and Harry and the others made their way back to Hogwarts to get everyone ready for the battle that would determine it all.
~Hogwarts~
All the Aurors, and everyone in the Order and Dumbledore's Army were there.
"This is it everyone, he will be here in less than an hour and we will end this." Harry began
He looked at all the people in the room and then looked at Hermione.
"There are some of you that will need to stay in the Hospital wing to help Madam Pomfrey."
Hermione knew he was talking about her but she was not going to stand by and let him fight while she hides away. Pregnant or not she was going to be right beside him and she planned to tell him that. After Harry was finished everyone got ready for the battle. Hermione pulled Harry to the side of the room and told him
"Harry I'll be right there next to you, I refuse to hide away while you might get hurt."
"Hermione you have to think about yourself and the baby."
"I'll be fine they won't hurt me, he won't let that happen, he needs me remember."
Harry stared at her for a few minutes and was about to start arguing with her when there was an explosion outside. The two of them ran out of the Great Hall and out on the grounds. The battle had begun. Everywhere you looked order members and the DA and Aurors were fighting Death Eaters. Harry Looked around for Voldemort but couldn't seem to find him. Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and started to look for him. The found him at the base of the Forbidden Forest waiting for him.
"Harry Potter the boy who lived comes to die, and you have brought me a gift, how sweet."
Harry turned to Hermione and said "I want you to run as fast as you can after he kills me."
"What! No, you can't die."
"I have to, it's the only way to win."
"I love you Harry."
"I love you to Hermione, now go."
Harry turned back to Voldemort
"Nott, grab Hermione, I want her to watch as I kill her soon to be late husband." Voldemort hissed.
"NO! Let her go it's not safe here for her." Harry said
Voldemort fired a curse at Harry while he was distracted looking at Hermione. The curse knocked him back into one of the trees. Hermione screamed and started begging Voldemort to stop. Voldemort just laughed at her and said
"It is going to end here and now."
Harry got back to and faced Voldemort.
"Your right lets end this now."
Harry didn't even raise his wand as Voldemort yelled "Avada Kedevra". Harry dropped dead to the ground as Hermione wrestled free from Theo and ran to Harry.
"No please Harry you can't be dead."
Hermione was pulled up from the ground and into Voldemort's arms.
"Grab Potter, Let us go and show the light they have lost, Come along my dear we have a victory to celebrate."
Nott did as he was told and slung Harry over his shoulder and followed his master out of the forest. They walked back out on to the grounds of Hogwarts which was covered with bodies and people fighting. Everyone stopped at once when they saw Voldemort carrying Hermione and Nott with Harry over his shoulder.
~Ginny and Blaise~
Ginny and Blaise were fighting side by side when three death eaters started to flight Ginny at once. Blaise wanted to turn and help her but couldn't as he was fighting Death Eaters himself. Blaise had just fired the killing curse at the Death Eater when Ginny screamed. He turned around in time to see Ginny get the CruciatusCurse. Blaise fired the killing curse again this time at the Death Eater that was hurting Ginny. He dropped to the ground dead. Once Ginny got her breathing under control she looked around trying to find the rest of her family and friends. She spotted Fred and George fighting two death eaters and saw Remus and Sirius fighting a very scared Wormtail. It looked like the light was winning. That was until Voldemort and Nott walked out with Hermione being held by the devil and Harry slung of Nott shoulders.
~Voldemort and Hermione~
"Look at what you put your faith in, a boy that couldn't even save himself." Voldemort hissed
"Throw down your wands and for those who join me I will spare, for those who don't, well we both know what will happen."
The light side looked at each other not sure what do. Then Ron yelled "WE WILL NEVER JOIN YOU." What the others didn't notice that Ron did was that Harry moved. While everyone's attention was on Ron, Harry hit Nott on the head with his fist knocking him out.
"Very well then you all shall die." Voldemort hissed to the light side
Voldemort made his way towards the Great Hall where he would finish off the Order once and for all. Voldemort stood in front of Dumbledore's chair waiting for his death eaters to bring in the Aurors, Order and the DA to their death. He set Hermione down next to him. The people started to come into the Great Hall and Harry followed behind them under the invisibility cloak ready to end it and save the one he loves. Voldemort had the order brought forward first.
"Who wants to die first?" it was more of a statement than a question.
Hermione looked at the order trying to figure something out that could help them and maybe even keep them alive.
"Let's start with the side kick."
'No please don't let them go please I'll do anything" Hermione begged as she ran to stand in front of Ron and the other.
"Move out of the way Hermione now they will all die and there is nothing you can do about it."
"There will be only one who dies tonight Voldemort, and that will be you."
Voldemort looked around for the voice that dares to defy him. Harry pulled off the cloak and stood in front of Voldemort.
"Potter back again. No matter I will just have to kill you again in front of these pathetic people."
"It will be you that dies Tom not me, Ron take Hermione and the others out of here."
"Harry we are not leaving you"
The two looked at each other then back at Voldemort.
"Let's end this now."
Both wizards pulled out there wands and faced each other.
"You can't kill me my boy, I cannot die."
"That's where you are wrong, all of your horcruxes have been destroyed"
"DIE POTTER, AVADA KEDAVRA"
"AVADA KEDAVRA"
The two spells meet. Neither wizard backing down, Harry felt a hand on his and looked to his right. There was Hermione standing right next to him.
She placed a hand on her stomach and said "We are right here with you."
Harry looked back toward where Voldemort was and with Hermione and their baby, defeated Voldemort with love, the one thing that he never knew. The Aurors rounded up the remaining death eaters. The light side had won at last. Harry turned back to Hermione picked her up and spun her around. Just as he set her back down on her feet she grabbed her stomach.
"Hermione what's wrong?"
"The baby, she's coming."
"It's too soon you still have two months."
"She's coming ok, I need to get to the hospital now.'
Harry shouted "I'm going to be a father" and apparated Hermione to the hospital. Lucius looked at Jane just as she said "It's time we have to go."
She ran over to her sister told her what was going on, as Lucius told Draco. Jane grabbed Lucius' hand as he apparated them to the hospital. When they got there they found Harry waiting out in the waiting room.
"Oh thank God you're here they won't let me in there with her"
"Harry you stay out here with Lucius and I will go in with Hermione, breath and relax everything will be fine."
Jane walked into the room Harry said Hermione was in.
"Miss you can't be in here."
"I'm her mother and I'm not leaving."
Jane walked over to Hermione and took her hand.
"How are you holding up baby.'
"OK I guess. It hurt when the contraction hits."
"I know" she looked at the healer "How much longer till she can push."
"She is ready now, Hermione I need you to push."
Hermione pushed as hard as she could.
"Again Hermione"
Hermione pushed again and again and again. After the fourth push the healer looked up and said "The head is out one more push and you will have you baby."
Hermione gave one more big push and you could hear the cries from her little girl.
Hermione laid back and smiled at her mother
"Please get Harry for me"
"Of course."
Jane walked out of the room just as they handed Hermione her baby. Harry came into the room a second later and looked at his wife and daughter.
"What should we name her?" Harry asked
"I was thinking Lily Jane Potter what do you think."
"I love it and I love you."
He looked down at his little girl and whispered "And I love you Lily Jane Potter."
The baby opened her eyes and looked at Harry and looked up at Hermione and started to cry.
This startled Harry but Hermione reassured him that she was just hungry. She positioned Lily to feed.
"Harry will you let the others know that they can come in, in a few minutes."
"I'll be right back'
Harry walked back to where everyone was sitting.
"Well when can we see her?" Lucius demanded.
"In a few minutes, she's feeding the baby."
"What did you name her?" Draco asked
"Lily Jane Potter"
"I'm going to go see if it's ok for you guys to come and see the newest Potter."
Harry walked back into the room just as Hermione fixed her gown. He smiled and stuck his head back out the door. Letting the other know they could come in. Lucius, Jane and Draco were the first to come in.
"She looks just like Hermione did when she was born."
"Yea but she has Potter's black hair, what color are her eyes?"
"Green just like her wonderful father."
Hermione and Harry smiled at each other. Other came and saw the baby. Severus even held her while Jean cooed at the baby.
Everyone came and went until it was just Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Blaise, Draco and Ron left.
"Ginny we wanted to know if you would be Lily's Godmother."
"Of course I'm going to spoil this little one the best I can."
The others in the room laughed.
"As for Godfather we were thinking Blaise and Ron you both could be."
"I would love to Mione"
"I would be delighted Hermione"
"Draco you are her uncle don't look so sad you will be a big part of her life. Knowing you, you will spoil her more than mum and dad."
Draco laughed at this "You better believe it sis."
They left the family alone when the healer came into the room.
"Well the good news is she is fine even being early, she is completely healthy and both of you can go home tomorrow."
"Thank you so much for everything."
"You're welcome." The healer walked out of the room
"She is safe and we don't have to live in fear of Voldemort anymore life is perfect."
"Yes it is." Harry kissed Hermione and lay down next to her with Lily in a bassinet next to the bed the couple fell asleep.
A/N: The way that I am thinking the battle was just after Christmas. Hermione was due in January and she ended up pregnant at the end of her 6th year around the start of June when the Gryffindor's where celebrating winning the house with of the war didn't think anything of it. Also she was not showing. This should help if anyone is confused as to why she is in labor and only has two months left. All that is left is the epilogue. Let me know what you think of this chapter and the story I had a great time writing it for all of you and thank you all for sticking with me. Dramione-fan 17
