AN:Hope the first 2 chapters made since I accidently deleted some pages between the 1st and second chapter. Well here is ch 3 enjoy and REVIEW please :D
The next morning classes started, Ron was nervous as he looked at his schedule of course it was the same as Hermione's and Harry's and somehow even Ginny. He had a feeling the professors had something to do with it. He was happy but, unsure of what to make of this semester. This is the first time something horrible hasn't happened he knew it was the first day but he just felt like for at least the semester everything was going to be okay. The chamber of secrets was far past them years ago. Voldemort was defeated and it just felt like this was the chance to be normal, well as normal as you can be being a wizard, and having best friends that just happen to be Harry, and Hermione.
Lunch was the first time Harry got to see Ginny and actually talk. When she came in to sight Harry couldn't get the smile off his face. He really loved her. He knew somewhere deep down she was the one. He felt like a fool for thinking that. They were both so young and also his best friend's sister. He knew he really needed to talk to Ron. Now was not the time though, it was time to eat and be merry. Classes have gone great except Ron accidently turned a potion blue instead of black and the professor was still confused on how that happened. Hermione also fell off her stool in the second class after falling asleep to the professor drone on about whatever it was.
Hermione had changed the most after the war. Yes she still studied and loved to learn but, now she knew that it was okay not to be too serious, but sometimes she wondered if she learned this just a little too late. She didn't mean to fall asleep but he was going on and on about something they learned first year, and went over in second year, and mastered by third year, she could have probably said the speech word for word so her mind quickly drifted, into a blissful sleep until she landed on the floor thankfully Ron had been there too catch her before she hit her head.
"So Ginny how are you liking our classes." Ron asked as they sat beside her. "So far so good, not falling out of chairs quite yet." Ginny replied." "First day and I'm already being gossiped about." Hermione said. "Well at least it's not as bad as Jane, there is a rumor going around she was pregnant over the summer." Ginny looked over at Jane they weren't exactly friends but they knew each other. Ginny wondered if it was really true. So much stuff had happened after the war she thought it could have happened. She thought about all the couples that came after the war everyone seemed to be paired up if they were 6th or 7th years. Maybe Jane made a mistake; she knew she almost did with Harry, the night they all came back. Not that it would really be a mistake it just wouldn't be for the right reasons.
She thought about that night. Harry was alive and Ron and Hermione, and she was still shocked and all she wanted was to be with Harry. She wanted him just in case, just in case that the war really wasn't over. That tomorrow Harry would have to leave her again. Then she went to Harry's bed and couldn't find the strength to wake him he looked so peaceful and so instead she clung to him and fell asleep that night. That had been enough just holding him was enough for her that night and the rest of the time until he left for muggle London that summer, then every night she laid there for hours trying to remember the feeling of him in her grasp.
"I don't think it was rumor, I overheard her talking about it with some girls about how she had to get rid of the baby." Harry said. "That's just awful" Ginny mentioned. "What's awful, the fact she was pregnant or the fact she "got rid" of it"." Ron ask. "got rid of" Ginny and Hermione both said rather loudly and looked if anyone else heard. "I couldn't imagine being a father right now." Ron answered. "Well Ronald sometimes it just happens and you have to be a dad weather you like it or not if your 15 or 25. It's not like she wanted to be pregnant at her age!" Hermione couldn't believe she said that. Her darkest secret just unknowingly came out to the table.
Her father wasn't her biological father, his name was Sam Linvine and her mother was 16 when she got pregnant and 17 when she had Hermione. Hermione hadn't told anyone about it not even Ron or Harry. She loved her father like he was her own. He was the only man there for her and she knew he loved her just the same. Sam was her mother's first time. Her mother told her the story when she was old enough to hear it. Her mother told her of a drunken night in high school right after a dance. She had liked Sam for a while but she never acted on it. The Vodka gave her a little more courage to talk to the boy she liked. Talking lead to kissing and kissing into pulling off clothes and eventually sex. Her mother said it was a mistake to be with him but never mistake to keep Hermione. When her mother told Sam about the pregnancy he was honestly really great she said. He wanted to help and be there but, as the months went on he realized that an actual baby that was his would be in the world and he couldn't handle it. He left transferred to a new school sent money and apology letters for a while until Hermione was about 3 and he completely stopped.
Hermione's mother had much support from family and friends and when Hermione was 4 her mother met a wonderful man her father. He was the only father Hermione ever knew. He was only a year older than her mother but was so kind to her a sweet. She started calling him dad when she was 5 and never looked back. He was her father. When her mother got married to him she and mother both took his last name. She wouldn't change it for the world but she always remembered that her biological father wasn't there for her and it hurt more than anyone could know, that your own flesh and blood wanted NOTHING to do with you. She knew after this she might have to explain herself but, for now she would apologize and keep quite.
"Hermione I'm sorry, I'll take it back" Ron said surprised by Hermione's reaction."Ron you don't even know what you're sorry about." Ginny replied. "Do you even know how they do one?" Hermione ask. "Well I never really thought about it." "Well we're not discussing it at lunch!" "Well I think we are now aren't we?" Ron asked in an angered tone. " Look Ron, not that you would know or anything but Muggles do have different procedures and I don't know why Ginny knows what it is but, they basically suck out the baby inside you and it dies did you want that baby to die?" Hermione said in a hushed tone. "Well since you put it that way no, not really, sounds like an awful way to go if you ask me." Ron said.
Harry changed the subject. "I thought that Ron and I could have a boy's night you know, after practice." Harry said looking at the girls. Both Hermione and Ginny smiled. "Finally a girls night." Ginny laughed. The rest of the time the group discussed classes and the excitement of study hall being the right after lunch.
It was now late evening the last of the sunset was showing in the sky and boys night had officially begun. "So Harry why a boys night we never had one before and no offence the girls are a lot more fun, even though one is my sister" Ron said. "Well, Ron I don't know how to say this, but it's about Ginny." "Harry, what, what did you do to her, or what do you want to do to my little sister?" Ron ask with his voice slightly shrill. "I don't want to do anything to your sister, I want to do things WITH your sister, and the answer is everything Ron. I love her, I really do Ron and I just want to be with her for the rest of my life. Don't you feel that way about Hermione?" Harry ask. "Harry I know, I know but, she is my little sister, the first girl in 7 generations and no offence Harry but we get into dangerous things and I just don't want her involved. I get it Harry you want to be with Ginny and I can't stop you and I won't because, I know how much I need Hermione, just like you need my sister" Ron said with a sigh. Harry smiled. "Well honestly I didn't think it would go this smoothly." Harry chuckled. "Well I've had all summer to think about it really and you were with my sister the whole time and I never saw her so happy before. You better not be making her too happy Harry" Ron muttered the last few words. "And are you Ron making Hermione "too happy."" Harry questioned. "Believe me I don't think I could contain myself if I did you would be the second to know well after Hermione of course." Ron blushed. "She's like a sister to me Ron and I know you love her so much, I can see it, but uh this getting way to gushy for guys night." Harry said. "Agreed lets go do some manly things." Ron smiled. "let's go get some drinks." Harry smiled. Ron frowned, maybe we should get the girls then, no offence but if we go just the two of us I don't think we'll no when to stop!" Ron said. "Alright let's go find the girls." Harry said.
