((A/N: Just your average HermionexRemus ficnot turning back time, but there is the idea of 'mates' so that's why the rating is high. Sorry to say that there is some GinnyxHarry in this fic. Don't hold me to it!))

Chapter One:Love's Limits
"Ron, what are we going to do?" Hermione asked sitting in a chair of their Scotland home. Ron sits in front of her his eyes full of worry for her and for himself. Ron shakes his head and sighs.
"Hermione, we've gotten threw worse. This'll be no problem," Ron said looking into her eyes with love and…was that regret? Hermione looked deeper into his and and confirmed it.
The phone rings and they both jump. Hermione stands up and tries to get her composure before walking to the phone.
"Weasley residents," Hermione says as she answers the phone.
"Hi, Hermione, it's Lavender. Is Ron there? There's something wrong at Hogwarts," That's all Lavender said before Hermione gave Ron the phone and headed into the library.
Hermione knew Ron would never disturb her in there. It was her place and he never dared to enter or even come near it. Hermione buried her nose in a book before levitating the phone off the hook and into her lap so she could listen in. She didn't trust Ron talking to Lavender. Why should she?
"Hi, Lavvy, what's wrong?" Ron asked and it caught Hermione's attention immediately. He was using a pet name with her!
"Ron, I'm pregnant," Lavender said in a small voice.
"What?" Ron asked louder than he had wanted to. Hermione looked down at the phone in her lap and shook with anger. Hermione walked over to the fireplace and grabbed a hand full of floo powder.
"12 Grimwald Place!" Hermione screamed s she was flooed over and into the fireplace at 12 Grimwald Place. Hermione walked out of the fireplace and shook the soot off of her clothes.
"Hermione? What are you doing here?" James, Sirius, Lilly, and Remus looked up from their conversation. Hermione took a seat next to Remus and Sirius and buried her head in her crossed arms on the table.
"Oh, Hermione, it can't be that bad," Remus said stroking her hair lightly as to sooth her uneasy nerves.
"Hermione, what happened?" Lilly asked leaning over the table. Lily placed a hand on her shoulder and Hermione looked up tears coming down her cheeks like a waterfall.
"Should we call Ron?" James asked Sirius in a low voice. Hermione whipped her head around to look at them and glared furiously.
"I don't want to see his ugly face again," Hermione said threw her tears. Sirius and James were shocked but called Harry instead. Harry apperated into the room a few seconds later and wrapped Hermione in a brotherly hug.
"Hermione, what did Ron do?" Harry demanded as he took Sirius's seat.
"He had sex with Lavender! Lavender's pregnant! It's all his fault!" Hermione screamed into Harry's shoulder.
"Hermione, Ron would never do that to you. He loves you too much to even think of something so rash and irresponsible," Harry said rubbing her back and pulling his fingers threw her, now straight, hair.
"I heard him and Lavender talking on the phone. She told him everything. She wanted to be more than just his lover," Hermione said as Lilly slowly approached Harry and gave him a glass full of pumpkin juice and relaxing potion. Harry gave the glass to Hermione who drank the whole thing before falling asleep in Harry's arms.
"I'll put her up stairs so she can sleep this off," Harry said as Sirius and Remus nodded and He walked up the stairs carrying Hermione.
"What do you think that was?" Lilly said as she clung onto James.
"Do you really think Ron would do that to Hermione?" James asked looking at Sirius and Remus.
"Ron always seemed like a great kid, but now that he's older…he might not want to commit to Hermione," Remus said looking into the fire.
"Love has it's limits," James agreed sitting back down at the table to wait for Harry.
((A/N: How true that is. Anyway. Don't forget to R&R! I might make more chapters come.))
