A Night of Many Surprises

Ron Weasley was sitting at the Gryffindor table waiting for his dinner. It was the first night back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and everyone was greeting each other and pairing off to their house tables. Ron had his eye on the door waiting for someone. Usually he would be sitting with his best mate, Harry Potter, but this year Harry wasn't going to attend his last year at Hogwarts.

Harry was on a mission to destroy all of Lord Voldemort's horcruxes and eventually destroy the Dark Lord himself. Over the summer, Ron and Hermione Granger had helped him with this dangerous mission. They had only found and destroyed one horcrux. When the summer started to end, Ron and Hermione decided that they should go back to school and finish their last year. Harry decided otherwise.

Ron's eyes were fixed on the entrance to the Great Hall. Finally, she walked through and made her way to where Ron was sitting. Ron had felt that the two of them had a connection going between them. She was all that he could think about lately and he was hoping that she felt the same.

"Hey Hermione," Ron said with a smile on his face.

"Hi Ron, sorry it took me so long," Hermione sat down next to her best friend and gave him a soft kiss on the check, "McGonagall didn't start the speech yet did she?"

"No, you're just in time," Ron said as he saw Professor McGonagall rise from her chair.

Throughout McGonagall's speech Ron's thoughts were drifting elsewhere. He was going back to about a month ago…

"Bloody hell it's cold in here! Where are we anyway?" a freezing Ron said.

"I don't know, Harry said we were somewhere in Northern Switzerland," Hermione said as she tightened her blanket around her.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in a tent in Switzerland and they had just found a lead on where one of the horcruxes might be. This would be their second one to destroy.

Harry was asleep in the tent and Hermione and Ron were still wide awake.

"Hey, Hermione…can we talk about something?" Ron was trying to find a way to word this.

"I think I know what you're thinking about, Ron."

"No you don't…I know you don't," Ron said with confidence.

"It's about us," Hermione said calmly.

"Bloody hell you're good! How did you know?"

"Well, we've been getting closer these past few months and I just couldn't help thinking that you were going to bring our relationship up sometime or later."

"Hermione, I…um…"

"We should just take it slow, Ron," Hermione interrupted with a smile on her face.

"Sure, yea, that sounds good,"

"Should we tell Harry?" Hermione sounded worried, just thinking what her other best friend would think if he found out about the two of them.

"No, well at least not until he's relaxed and not in any dangerous situations."

"That means probably never," Hermione said as she cuddled up to Ron to keep warm.

That was definitely one of the best nights of Ron's life. He would have continued to think about the times that he had spent with Hermione, but his thoughts got sidetracked when the long awaited food appeared on his plate.

After dinner, Ron and Hermione walked up to the common room together. Ron thought that this was a great start to his last year. The only thing that could make it even better was if Harry was here with them. Hogwarts was definitely going to be different without him. Hermione said the password to the Fat Lady and the portrait swung open.

Ron and Hermione walked over to the couch in front of the fire and started to sit down when they heard a familiar voice behind them.

"You guys are just going to sit down without saying hi or anything? Fine, I see how it is," it was none other than Harry Potter.

"HARRY!" Ron and Hermione both shouted at once. They ran over to him and the three of them embraced.

"Bloody hell! What are you doing back here?" Ron said full of excitement.

"Since the two of you ditched me I have destroyed every horcrux except for one of them. I think that the last one might me in Hogwarts, I've had many lead to prove this. So, I talked to Professor McGonagall and enrolled myself back into Hogwarts. Man, it's good to be back."

"This is great! The three of us can have the best last year ever!" Hermione replied with a huge grin on her face. The three of them sat down on the couch and talked for what seemed like years. Finally Harry said he was tired and went up to bed.

"I'm tired too, I think I'll go to bed as well," Hermione said to Ron. She got up and kissed Ron goodnight. Ron watched her walk to her room and decided that this was definitely the best night that he would ever spend at Hogwarts.

Ron rose from the couch and started to head to his room when he felt a soft tap on his back. He turned around and found himself face to face with Lavender Brown.

"Hey Lavender, how was your summer?" Ron tried to saw something normal to his ex-girlfriend.

"It was fine," she sounded different, "Do you have a minute?"

"Not really, I'm really tired and I was just going to go up to bed. Can we wait until the morning?"

"No, I need to talk now."

"Okay, what's wrong?" Ron sounded a little nervous.

"Ron, I'm pregnant."
