I woke up the next morning and the feeling of nausea washed over me. I quickly leaped out of bed and sprinted from my shared dorm. Once in the bathroom, I vomited everywhere. Disgusting. I slumped down next to the toilet and leaned my head back against the cold wall.

How could I have been so stupid? I knew what having sex could lead to. I mean, even if all my rational thoughts had been washed away by the alcohol, I must have thought about it at least a little. And then the whole situation with Ginny.

Ginny. She had ignored me all night. Yesterday was Sunday, so she was out with Harry all day. When she got back, she didn't say a word to me. She just got ready for bed and ignored my attempts at a conversation. Who could blame her? I was having a baby with her brother! And I couldn't even pluck up the courage to tell him. But he wouldn't want to be involved anyway. He had Lavender. That little blonde haired twit...

I shook my head and tried to clear away all my thoughts before they went somewhere bad. I saw a dark shadow looming on the ground and I traced it up to the figure that was leaning against the door post.

"You okay?" The person asked.

I nodded and hoarsely whispered, "Yeah. Thanks Ginny." She nodded back at me and walked back towards the room. I waited on the floor until I felt better, and then mustered up the courage to walk back to the room and get ready for the day. The big day. The day that will ruin Ron's life. The day he finds out he's going to be a father.

When I entered the room, I saw Ginny setting out her uniform and robes for the day. I went to my closet and began to do the same. Ever so casually, I brought the subject of telling Ron up.

"So, today I'm gonna tell Ron." I said without lifting my head.

"How do you know it's even his?" Ginny asked harshly. I swallowed hard and turned to look at her.

"Listen Ginny, I know you don't want to accept the truth; trust me, I don't either. But Ron is the only guy I've ever... done that with." I whispered.

"You guys aren't even dating! Bloody hell, you two haven't spoken two words to each other since he started dating Lavender!" Ginny whisper shouted. We had learned from experience that if you want a conversation to stay private, you have to whisper. Even in your own dorm.

"I'm aware of all that! But it doesn't matter. I have to tell him. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting to class." I said and briskly left the room. I bounded down the stairs to the common room where there were a few lingering students getting ready to leave. I swung the door open and left to go to class.

After lunch, we had free period. I had been walking with Cho until I had spotted Ron. He was walking with "Lav Lav" or whatever disgusting nickname he had for her. I excused myself from Cho and jogged to where they were walking.

"Ron!" I called as I was half way to where they were. They both stopped in their tracks and waited for me to catch up. Lavender was latched onto his arm and I couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy.

"What's up, Hermione?" Ron asked politely. I could see the surprised etched onto his face- he wasn't expecting me to be speaking to him.

"Can we talk?" I asked when I reached them. He nodded vigorously and Lavender stood there dumbly. "Um, alone?" I asked and motioned towards Lavender.

"Whatever you have to tell Won Won is my business too. I am his girlfriend." Lavender said. I winced at the label and stared daggers at Ron.

"Lavender, can you give us a minute?" Ron asked her lightly. Lavender took her arm from his and folded her arms over her chest.

"Why? What's so private that your own girlfriend can't know! You know she's jealous of what we have... she's just going to try and steal you away from me, Won Won." She whispered the ending. My mouth when agape and I felt my blood boiling. Ron began to protest when I cut him off.

"You know what? Lavender's right. She's your girlfriend. She should know the truth. Do you remember last month when we got drunk and hooked up?" I spat sharply. The tips of Ron's ears turned red as did his cheeks and he opened his mouth to speak. Lavender looked as if she had been hit by a bus. She just stood there with her eyes wide and mouth open. "Well, guess what? I'm pregnant! You're gonna be a dad!" I spoke in a hushed tone and then spun on my heel and left the mess of drama behind me.

After classes that day, I went for a stroll around the large courtyard. Just as I had reached one of the trees, I heard a voice calling my name.

"Hermione!" I recognized that husky voice. That was the voice that I could pick out from a thousand people. The one and only, Ron Weasley. "Hermione!"

"What?" I yelled in an annoyed tone as I spun around to face him. Much to my dismay, he had been directly behind me when I turned and I had collided with him, as I pulled him down in the snow. He landed directly on top of me, his reddish-orange hair laying between us in a wispy way.

"Well, now that I have your attention..." Ron trailed off with a smirk. I scoffed at him and whacked him arm.

"Get off me!" I demanded and pushed his large frame off my little one. He reluctantly stood up and offered a hand to me, which I thankfully took. He placed a gentle hand to my stomach once I was back on my feet.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly and I nodded. "Good. Now, um... What you said. Is it-is it true?"

"Yes! Why would I lie about that, you git!"

"Sorry... Um, I just wanted to say that I broke up with Lavender and I'm here for you. Both of you." He stated awkwardly. I nodded slowly and kept watching him. "So what do we do now?"

"Well, we have a lot to talk about. It's going to be a long night." I whispered in an exasperated tone.

"That's okay. As long as I'm with you. We've got a lot to figure out." He said and we began walking back to the campus. As we were walking, I felt his fingers cautiously intertwine with mine. I tentatively I peered down at our dangling hands. This was going to be something new...

So I'm not gonna just jump into hot and heavy make out sessions between our favorite couple. I want to make it believable. Thanks for all the reviews, I hope to see more for this chapter(: I need at least 5-10 for chapter 3 :D
