I hope you guys enjoy.
"'Mione, I am sorry. I love you so much. I promise to be safe as possible. I want you to keep yourself as safe as possible, for me," Ron told Hermione as he held her close to him and then kissing her gently. "Everything will be fine and I'll be back soon. I promise to not let it happen."
"How can you promise Ron? You never know what will happen," Hermione whispered to him softly, holding back the tears. It was hard saying good bye not know if or when she'd see him again.
"You've got to trust in me 'Mione. I love you so much. I'll try as hard as I can to come back. You have to believe in me," Ron told her softly and kissing her again. "Please 'Mione, believe in me. I'll come back."
She looked down the sighed looking up at Ron. "Okay Ron. I believe you will come back."
"I love you 'Mione."
"I love you too Ron."
Ron grabbed Hermione and pulled her close and kissed her gently. He didn't make it last long though. He let her go and looked at her. "Goodbye 'Mione. I will be back soon."
"Bye Ron. I love you so much."
After that Ron was gone. He left to meet up with Harry leaving Hermione all alone now. She wished it was otherwise but she knew his reason. It was just so hard though. She didn't know what would happen to him but she hoped he'd be okay.
"Why?" Hermione muttered as she paced the room of her and Ron's apartment. He had given her a promise ring after their last year at Hogwarts and they got an apartment together. Now he and Harry had left for war and they left her and Ginny behind. She could understand why Ginny was told to stay behind but not her. Of course now, now she was very happy about it.
Only thing was, how was she going to last by herself now? She stared out the window of her apartment and then sighed to herself. "This is a war and no time for something like this to happen."
Hermione silently waited for Ginny to come over. The two had already planned to go into hiding knowing that they would be the two major targets since they meant the most to Ron and Harry. Of course Hermione knew Ginny wouldn't come through the front door, that was too muggle like.
The sound of the crack behind her told her Ginny was there. "Hey Ginny, ready to go?" Hermione asked and then turning to look at Ginny standing there with her bags.
"Yes. But where are we going to hide exactly?"
Now this was something the girls had not thought of ahead of time like they should have. Where could they go that no one would find them or know about them. "Out of London or underground. Those are the only choices," Hermione finally whispered quietly.
Ginny stared at Hermione for a few minutes then looked at the ground. "I'd prefer underground."
"I would prefer out of London."
Hermione noticed Ginny look up in shock then looking at her curiously. "Why out of London?" Ginny asked quietly.
"It is safer for us, wouldn't you think?"
"No. I am not going so far away I can't figure out what is happening or so far away I can't see my family," Ginny told Hermione then smiling slowly at Hermione. "My family! At the Burrow, there is an underground pathway I found when I was a little girl. No one but Ron and I know about it. It is the perfect place to hide. It goes deep into the ground and is hard to find. Ron will know how to find it easily."
Hermione listened quietly, finding this a good place to hide actually. A place where Ron could find them when the war ended. It was a great plan. "Alright Ginny. Let's go, are we walking?"
"We are going to have to. I can't let my parents know that we're going to be so close to them. They think I am going far away," Ginny said quietly then heading toward the door. "Hurry. We want to get there before morning so no one sees us."
Quickly Hermione gathered her things and a few of Ron's just in case something were to happen during the war. Though she never knew what would happen. She hurried to the door with her things and put the hood of her cloak up as Ginny did the same.
The two girls walked through the streets quickly and quietly heading towards the Burrow as fast as they could. Since the streets were empty it was pretty easy for them to hurry though the streets without a problem. It was also easy to notice if anyone followed them, no one did though.
It wasn't a long walk for them. Ron had made sure the place was in walking distance of his parents just in case something happened. Hermione sighed to herself and followed Ginny around the Burrow. Ginny stopped at a door which surprised Hermione, seemed easy enough to find to her.
As quietly as possible Ginny opened the door and walked in and signaled Hermione to follow. "This is the storage room. I was playing in here once because the boys were being mean when I found a secret tunnel. I don't know if my parents knew about it because my family has lived in this house for centuries." She kneeled down on the floor pulled a rug off the floor and opened a door in the floor down into tunnels into the ground.
Hermione stared in shock and walked close to it. "What's it like down there?"
"You'll see. You go down first. I'll teach you how to make the rug cover the door later," Ginny whispered and lightly pushed Hermione down the ladder and under the ground. As soon as both girls were in Ginny closed the door and magically put the carpet back. When Ginny turned around she noticed Hermione looking down the light up tunnel.
"This is amazing Ginny. I've never seen anything like this," Hermione whispered then looking over at Ginny.
Ginny simply laughed some and nodded for Hermione to follow. "It is a nice place. I don't know how this place came about. I am sure someone in my family must have had some reason for it. There are beds, couches, a little kitchen area, and everything. It is like an underground home. It might be dusty. Neither Ron or I have been down here in a while."
"What about getting food?"
"We might have to take turns sneaking out for food once I teach you how to cover the door down here," Ginny answered simply as if she'd planed this all already in her head. It was kind of shocking to Hermione but she never doubted how smart Ginny really was.
When the two girls stopped when they got to a some what big but not to big room that looked to be like a living room. It had a couch and two seats near the couch and a table in the middle. Behind it was a little kitchen with a table to sit four people to sit and eat. There were 4 doors. One of them was a bathroom and the other three were bed rooms. Not a lot of room but for just Hermione and Ginny it was a lot of room.
Hermione walked through and looked into the three rooms and went into her one, the one in the middle. "I'll take this one Ginny," she said quietly. Though she liked another one better, she was thinking of how if she was here when the baby was born, then if it got a different room she'd be close by.
Ginny nodded and went to the one to the left of the room Hermione choose to sleep in. The two unpacked their clothes and put them in the little dressers they both had in their rooms.
"What should we do for dinner Ginny?" Hermione asked as she walked to Ginny's room and leaned in the door way. "Do you think it is still late enough for you to go to your house and steal something?"
"Maybe, I don't know. I can check though. I'll be back," Ginny quickly walked back the way they'd gotten in and left Hermione all alone.
Hermione walked to the couch and laid down and looked around. Her stomach growled in hunger. Tomorrow they would need to get a few days worth of food. She stared at the ceiling wondering how Ron was doing. "What will he think once he finds out? If he finds out of course," she whispers to herself quietly.
"Finds out what?"
Quickly Hermione sat up and saw Ginny want two sandwiches and hands one to her. "Nothing Ginny, just thinking to myself," Hermione said softly then sighing as she ate her sandwich.
"Seems like something to me. Tell me Hermione, please," Ginny said as she sat down in the chair close to Hermione and ate.
Hermione chewed some at her lip and looked away from Ginny. "In 8 or so months, you are going to be an aunt."
Ginny looked Hermione in shock. "Y-You mean… Ron got you pregnant?" she whispered quietly as she looked at Hermione.
It took Hermione a few minutes to reply and a few tears slipped from her eyes. "Yes. He doesn't know. I was scared to tell him before he left with Harry. I knew it would only add to his worry," she finished and started to sob in her hands.
Ginny moved and sat down next to Hermione and hugging the sobbing girl. "It is alright Hermione. I understand your reason for not telling him but he should know. I guess it is to late now. If anyone else finds out, the child will be in more danger then we probably are. I will help you, Hermione," Ginny told Hermione quietly and helping Hermione up. "Come on, you need some sleep."
Hermione got up and went to her room and laid on the bed, still crying. She couldn't stop herself from crying. It was war time and she hadn't told Ron about the child he was soon going to be having. It made her feel so scared of what would happen.
