Hermione Granger was a teenage mother. No none of that pre-marital junk she didn't hold for that as her Mum and Dad were strict Catholics You see in their 5th year Hermione and her boyfriend Harry Potter saved Benjy Windor from Voldemort. His mother had been killed leaving two-year-old Benjy in foster care. He never stayed in one place long he was BAD he said 'Want Herm and Harry,' all the time. So eventually he was allowed to stay at Hogwarts, Harry and Hermione were his legal guardians. They might adopt him later on.

            He had special permission from Dumbledore to stay at Hogwarts. Madame Pomfrey watched him during the day. In a way Hermione thought it brought her and Harry closer. She had loved him since he saved her from the troll. She went out with Ron for a while in 5th year but they had a brother-sister thing going.

            Now that he was where he wanted to be Benjy was the sweetest thing ever. She loved him soooo much. It was her last year at Hogwarts and she and Harry were getting married July 31st, 1998. That however was a year off. The day was Harry's birthday, He was staying with her because when Vernon Dursley went bankrupt they lost the protection of Arabella Figg and Hermione's place was safer that the shack the Dursley's lived in now they had found out.  Vernon was now in hospital after having a heart attack

            Hermione lay in bed that morning thinking about this when she heard a familiar clanking sound getting closer. The door opened to reveal a little brown haired boy with green eyes. Benjy stood there leaning on his metal crutches.

            Benjy had Cerebral Palsy. He was missing part of his brain causing low muscle tone in his legs. Harry and Hermione did therapy with him ever night. He was an adorable boy. Sweet and kind with so much personality. His legs were his only flaw thought Hermione as he climbed on her bed. Harry had rigged his toy broomstick so he had a stick to push off with and handles on the front because he had soooo wanted to fly. His mother it seemed had taken him to many doctors for he was wary of them. Only Dr. Alemra at St. Mungo's Children's did he like he saw him every three months.

            'Morning Mummy' he said snuggling up to her,

            'Morning' she replied thinking he never called me mummy before

            'Hullo' said a cheer voice at the door. Hermione looked up there was Harry.

            'Did you take your potion?'

            'Yes Mother.' Harry had fallen off a broom in April and the potion kept his leg from hurting constantly he could still play Quidditch but he had a limp.

            'How'd you sleep?'

            'Horribly 'nother nightmare.'  When they moved and while Albus Dumbledore tried to set up a new connection to watch over Harry Voldemort had showed up at the Dursley's. Dudley of course had fled; when Vernon and Petunia had tried to help Harry Voldemort had cursed them. He mad Petunia vomit and Vernon's massive stomach contract saying,

            'Stomach ailment's are the hardest to ignore.' He and Harry had dueled and Harry won of course but it still gave him nightmares. Guessing a patronus would ward him off because of the spells that kept Voldemort from dying were the same that made dementor immortal he did it right as Voldemort shouted Avada Kadavera. The Dursleys though not happy about it were on potions to keep their ailments at bay.

            'Oh poor baby' another voice had rang. Ron Weasly had appeared in the doorway.

            'Ron' Hermione exclaimed.

            'Arrived by floo powder now that you're a witch Hermione your house is on the floo network. Blimey I can't wait 'til we can Apperate.'

             Not realizing Benjy was under the covers she pulled them up.

            'Hey' he shrieked laughing

            'Sorry luv but 'aven't oo better get some hoths on aforin oo freeze tew death?'  He giggled at her imitation of her father's Cockney accent. He wiggled out of the covers with her help. As he left the sound of his laughter and crutches continued down the corridor.

            'How is he doing?' Ron asked.

            'Better' she said a far away look in her eyes. 'He's better. Hey weren't we meeting at the Burrow?'

            'Emily's got flu' Ron's two-year-old sister.

            'Oh poor baby.'

            'Yeah.' Ron brightened. 'Did you hear about Malfoy?'

            'Which one the second year hero Justin, the awful Draco, or Dementor lunch Lucius.' she asked as Harry nodded.

            'Draco' he said. Ron continued,

            'He's mad.'

            'What?'

            'Yeh. After Justin told those secrets and Lucius ended up on Azkaban-'

            'And Justin battled Voldemort who headed for-' Harry winced. 'Sorry hon.'

            'It's okay.'

            'Yeah after all that Draco went mad' the group burst out laughing.

            'What's so funny?' asked Benjy reappearing. He had his shirt on backward and his leg braces on the wrong legs. His dressing skills were not great yet.

            'Nothing. Shall I help you get dressed?' Harry asked. Benjy nodded Ron followed them to Benjy's room leaving Hermione to dress.
