Forbidden Love

Chapter Three

The next few weeks went by quite well.Mrs.Weasley ran around the house frantically making wedding arrangements and consulting books.

"Mrs.Weasley,you know you don't have to worry about the wedding for a while,Ron and I want a nice and long engagement." Hermione told her soon-to-mother-in-law one particular morning and she was looking through a catelogue at wedding dresses.

"It's never too early to prepare for something like this," She told the young girl."and call me Molly,dear,you're family now."

Hermione felt strange.She couldn't exactly put her finger on what it was,but she just felt different.Perhaps it was because she was now somebody's fiancé.Ginny noticed the change in the older girl's behavior as well.

"Something wrong,Mione?" Ginny asked her old friend one day when they were hanging out in the younger girl's room.

"I don't know..." Hermione told her honestly."I just feel...different."

"Hmm." Ginny said,thinking.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Hermione asked her.

"What's a penny?" Ginny asked,confused at the muggle saying.

"It's a figure of speech," She explained. "it means,care to share what you're thinking."

"Oh,well,it's really nothing." The red head answered,obviously hiding something.Hermione cocked an eyebrow at the girl she'd learned to regard as her sister.Ginny pretended to not notice,then got up and walked to the door.

"Mum and I are heading into Diagon Alley today,the letters were sent out earlier this year to make up for last year." She then walked out,leaving Hermione very confused.

*

Hermione was in the kitchen,starting dinner for Molly.Aurthur was at work,Ron was out flying his broom (he didn't want to get rusty) and Harry hadn't been back since the morning after graduation,more then likely looking for Horcruxes.Molly and Ginny still weren't back from back to school shopping for Ginny's final year.Hermione was nearly finished when the two walked through the door.

Ginny removed numerous shrunken bags from her pockets,then returned them to their natural sizes (having turned of age last February).Molly came right up to Hermione and captured her in a tight hug.

"I guess I should start dinner more often." Hermione exclaimed,having picked up on some of Ron's sarcasm over the years.When Molly pulled away she had tears in her eyes,making Hermione's stomache sink.

"Oh my gods,what happened?" She asked,putting a hand to her mouth.Maybe Harry or Ron were hurt.Maybe Voldemort began to wreak havoc again.

"Nothing dear,nothing at all," Molly told her,smiling through the tears."I bought you something." She reached into one of the bag Ginny had pulled out of her pocket.It was a small vial with a thick purple liquid inside.Just by looking at it she knew what it was.She'd once brewed the same potion for Ginny after she'd lost her virginity and thought she'd been pregnant.It was a Pregnancy Detection Potion.

"W-why did you get me this?" She asked,eyeing Ginny who was busying herself putting everything they'd bought in a chest in the kitchen.

"Ginny told me you'd been feeling strange,and I'd noticed it too.It can't do any harm to just check up on things." Molly said,smiling widely and handing Hermione the vial.

"But,I'm not-"

"Are you sure?" The older woman asked,giving her a knowing smile.For once in her life,Hermione was speechless.

Was she sure? She had already missed a period,and she was late for her next one.She'd began to feel slightly neaseauos,but she just blamed that on all the talk of the wedding.

"I-I don't know." She admitted.Hermione took the vial in her hands and stared at it.It couldn't hurt to just take it,could it? Looking around to be sure it was just the three of them in the house,she opened the vial.The smell of lilacs was emitted from the top.She closed her eyes and downed the whole potion.Ginny and Molly both gasped in surprise as she felt the tingling sensation which meant the potion had worked and her hand had changed to either blue,or violet,depending on the result.

Slowly,Hermione opened her eyes.She avoided looking at Molly and Ginny and looked straight down at her hand.She nearly fainted when she saw that it was violet,proving that she was indeed pregnant.

"Oh my gods." She breathed out.Molly motioned for her to sit,sensing she was light headed.

"Congradulations,Mione!" Ginny said happily as Hermione's hand changed back to normal colour.She hugged her best friend tightly.

"Oh,I'm going to be a grandmother!" Molly exclaimed,hugging her son's fiancé as well.

"Mum,you're already a grandmother." Ginny reminded her.Bill and Fleur had just had their first child,a son (Christophe),a few months before.Molly ignored her youngest child,kissing Hermione on the cheeks over and over.

"I can't believe it," Hermione said in a daze."I'm really pregnant." She'd been suspecting for a little while that it was a possibility,but she'd just pushed it aside,not wanting to have another thing to worry about.

"So," Molly said,not noticing the look of shock on the younger girl's face."how're you going to tell my son?"

*

Hermione was rather quiet at dinner,eating everything Molly pilled on her plate.Ron returned home just after dinner.

"Sorry I'm late," He told the women as he kissed his fiancé hello."lost track of time." Normally his mother would purse her lips and give him a disapointed look,but she was just too happy about Hermione being pregnant.Even Hermione didn't lecture him like she usually would,but he didn't seem to notice.He sat down beside her as his mother began to pile food on his plate.It made Hermione smile how he was still such a mama's boy.

"Something wrong,love?" He asked after he'd finished his second helping.Normally Hermione would scold him for eating too fast or not chewing his food enough,but she hadn't.Her mind was too preocupied.

"Oh,no,I'm fine," Hermione told him,squeezing his hand under the table."I think I'm just going to go have a lie down." She kissed Ron then made her way upstairs to her room.She still felt faint after finding out that she was going to bear Ron's child.

About an hour later there was a soft knock at Hermione's door.The room used to be Percy's,but since he was still refusing to speak to the family,and Hermione being Ron's fiancé and all,they turned it into her own room.

Ron poked his head inside the open door as Hermione sat up slowly.

"Mind if I come in?" He asked her.She nodded her head and pulled the covers off herself as he entered her room.He stood infront of her bed,looking down at her.Noticing how tense she was,he knelt behind her on the bed and began to massage her shoulders.She moaned as she felt some of the tension melt away with the touch of his hands.

"Um,Ron,love?" She asked cautiously.

"Hm?" He replied,stopping massaging her and sitting beside her on the bed.She took his hand in her's and he squeezed her hand lovingly.

"I have something to tell you." Confusion crossed his face.

"You know you can tell me anything." He told her.It was true,she could,and did.

"Well,um,I'm not sure how you're going to react to this," She began to bite her nails.Ron reached up and gentley pulled her hand away from her mouth,she always complained about her nails being too short because of her biting them."I,um...I'm...pregnant." She covered her face with her hands.She knew Ron was brought up old fashioned so he wasn't supposed to have any children out of wedlock.She knew Molly was still happy for her,but only because they were already engaged.Ron removed her hands from her face so she could see him grinning like mad.

"That's bloody brilliant!" He exclaimed,embracing the mother of his unborn child.He plated a emotion filled kiss on her lips as she felt all her worries melt away.

"How long have you known?" He asked when they broke apart,Hermione now smiling as well.

"Just since this afternoon,your mum went out and bought me a detection potion because Ginny told her I was feeling weird." Ron then kissed her again,and again,and again.

"I was afraid you'd be upset." Hermione confided in him,now feeling rather silly for worrying.

"Of course not!I've always wanted to have kids,and since I proposed I've been thinking about how much I want o have them with you." He told her.She too had been thinking about starting a family with Ron,but she had wanted to wait until they were actually married.

"So,you're not upset or anything like that?" She asked,just having to make sure.

"Well no,it's a little sudden and unplanned,but hey,that's life." He told her.She nodded her head in agreement.Everything did seem to happen so suddenly ever since she'd found out she was a witch.

And that's when she knew,that her whole life was falling suddenly into place,and that was just how she liked it.
