Sirius dropped down onto the couch beside Remus and was silent for the first time in his life, until he burst into laughter.
Hermione and Harry looked at each other, puzzled. "What are you laughing at dad?" Harry asked.
"Good joke kids, good joke. What were you really talking about?" Sirius asked.
"We're not joking." Harry said, shaking his head. "Hermione really is pregnant. She was on the muggle pill, but it didn't work."
Sirius was silent once again. "So, Moony and I are going to be grandparents?" He asked slowly.
"Yes Padfoot, it seems that we'll be grandparents, very good." Remus poked fun at his mate.
"You guys aren't mad?" Hermione asked.
"It wouldn't do any good for us to be angry, because what's done is done, but we aren't happy with your irresponsibility, though I suppose part of that is our fault, for not making sure Harry knew the right charms, or at least had a bit of muggle protection as well. " Remus said, comforting the scared teenagers a bit.
"And we will be talking later," Sirius said, looking directly at Harry, "But for now the two of you have to go and talk to Professor Dumbledore, because Madam Pomfrey will have to notify him within 10 days if you two don't and it would be best for you to tell him first."
Hermione and Harry looked at each other, unsure of the Headmaster's reaction.
"Harry, tell the Headmaster that you'll be spending the night with us, and floo back here from his office, so that Severus doesn't catch you out after curfew, he was supposed to take over rounds after my turn was over." Remus said.
"Ok dad." Harry said, worried about both the Headmasters reaction, and the talk he was going to have with his dads when he got back.
Remus wrote a note and gave it to Harry, in case Professor Snape stopped them on their way to the Headmaster's office, and the couple headed out of Harry's fathers' rooms and up to the tower where Dumbledore's office was located.
Together they spoke the password, "Fainting Fancy," and stepped onto the spiraling staircase to get to the Headmaster. Just as Harry was about to knock on the office door, it swung open and Dumbledore said "Come in, Harry, Hermione."
The couple entered the office and found the Headmaster in a purple armchair behind his desk. "What can I do for you at this late hour?" He asked, the ever present twinkle in his eye seeming even brighter.
"We have something that we need to tell you, Professor Dumbledore." Hermione began.
"Yes?" the Headmaster asked.
"Hermione's pregnant," Harry said bluntly.
"With twins," Hermione added.
"Oh my, I've very surprised at you Mr. Black, Miss Granger. You were the last students I would have expected to hear this from." Dumbledore said. "This is going to be very hard on both of you, you know this?"
When both Harry and Hermione nodded, the old wizard continued. "I take that Madame Pomfrey has given you all your options, and you've already chosen to keep the children and raise them?"
Harry and Hermione nodded again and Dumbledore continued again. "Things will have to change a bit. Miss Granger, I'm afraid that you can no longer continue your duties as Head Girl."
Hermione sniffled a bit, but Dumbledore continued. "Pregnancies are very rare at Hogwarts, and frowned upon, not only because of your ages, but also because this is a prestigious school of witch craft and wizardry and most parents will not look well upon a pregnant Head Girl."
Hermione's eyes were filled with tears, but she nodded, completely understanding where the Headmaster was coming from.
"If you two wish to live together, you will have to be married. Hogwarts rules do not allow for unmarried couples to live together. However, I will allow Mr. Black floo access from Gryffindor tower, to private rooms that you will receive for you and the children, if you choose not to marry. The choice is completely yours. Mr. Black will not be allowed to sleep over, but you can contact him at any time of the day or night to come and help you with the children." Dumbledore explained to Hermione.
"Harry, if you chose to propose to Miss Granger, I would be happy to facilitate the wedding, but if not, you are still expected to provide for Miss Granger and your children, as well as help her take care of them, and help to find, and if needed, pay for child care while they two of you are in classes." Dumbledore addressed Harry.
"You don't have to tell me that, sir." Harry said. "I plan on providing everything I can for Hermione, and our babies."
Dumbledore nodded. "I would expect nothing less from you Harry, I know how much you've always wished for a family," the older wizard said with a small smile.
"Hogwarts will not abandon either one of you, but there will be a few consequences for your actions. You've heard most of them, but I also need to make sure you understand everything. In order to pass your classes, you will have to complete all assigned work within a reasonable amount of time, even after you've had the baby. No extensions will be giving without an emergent reason. You will sit tests with the rest of the students, and unless you or the children are in the infirmary and very ill, no make up tests will be given."
Both Harry and Hermione understood, and after a few more minutes, Dumbledore let Hermione go back to her Head Girl rooms for the night, explaining that her things would be moved the following day. Harry walked Hermione to the door and hugged her goodbye, before flooing to his fathers' rooms.
When he tumbled through the floo and brushed himself off, Harry found Remus and Sirius both sitting on the couch waiting for his return.
"Have a seat son, we need to talk." Remus said.
Unable to tell from his voice, or either of his fathers' body language, if they were angry or not, Harry walked slowly to one of the plush arm chairs and sat down, waiting to hear what ever was coming.
