Well folks this one is my daughter's fault too. I finished up Harry and Ginny early Saturday morning. Made breakfast as a treat for the family, bacon, eggs toast the whole greasy mix. Did some yard work, worked on some craft projects and ten was sitting in my chair next to the daughter and told her I had finished Harry and Ginny. I talked about the plot bunnies that wanted attention. Poor Dudley has been bumped to one side two times now.

Then she said it. "You'd do a good job with Hermione and Ron." That wasn't even a plot bunny that had ever popped up it's head! I didn't think any more about it and enjoyed the day. We watched 3 movies. Enchanted, Elizabeth the golden age and Sweeny Todd. (Sorry I just could not buy him as the judge, I just kept picturing Snape.)

Everybody headed to bed. I was just about to close my lap top and head to bed myself when this plot bunny ran, screaming like a crazed berserker, from the back of my mind and slapped me between the eyes.

So here is the beginning of Hermione's story. This first chapter will be a short starter one. Those of you who have read my other fics know I like to get my facts as straight as this old mind can. So I have some re-reading to do.

HRHRHR

This is a love story. It is about the man I loved for most of my life. His name was Ronald Bilius Weasley. Oh I'm sure you know of him. You may know him as the best friend of the boy who lived. Or as the head of the auror department for many years. Or maybe as part of the famous Weasley family.

Ron Weasley came from a old wizarding family. He was one of 7 children. He grew up knowing he was a wizard and was quite comfortable in the magical world.

I came from a muggle family of dentists. I was an only child who had no idea she was a witch until I got my letter from Hogwarts.

I met Ron on the train to Hogwarts. To say it wasn't love at first sight is an understatement. I thought he was a prat and he thought I was a know it all.

But we over came first impressions and went on to become best friends and later husband and wife. We had two children.

Rose Weasley-Malfoy is quite well known as a former quidditch player and as the general manager of the Chudley Cannons.

Hugo Weasley is a renown author and lecturer, whose discoveries have made him famous.

Our 4 grand children, 16 great grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren are well known in their various fields.

You might know my story, how after the second war I studied magical law and became the head of magical law at the MOM. How I was Minister of Magic for 25 years.

But you don't know it all, not even with all the biographies that have been written about our family. You don't know what it was really like to grow up fast. To understand real evil existed. To watch loved ones die.

You don't know what it took to rebuild our lives, to heal the wounds and to continue the fight against darkness.

You also don't know how wonderful it was to be married to a man named Ron Weasley.

I'm going to attempt to tell you.
