We were seated in cold metal chairs inside Professor Snape's classroom. Around us were all the teachers, including Professor Dumbledore. Some were giving us dirty looks- Professor Snape- some were looking at us with sympathy- Professor McGonagall. Dumbledore stared at us with an unreadable expression. I peered at Ron who was fiddling with his hands in an anxious way.

"You know," I began. "If you're going to punish us, you should just get on with it."

"Miss Granger!" Professor McGonagall warned.

"No, it's alright professor. The girl is right." Dumbledore stated evenly. "Now, who would like to explain the situation to me?"

"You basically know everything from what everyone's saying. But it's all Ron's fault!" I exclaimed. I heard Ron slap his forehead and groan.

"Bloody hell, Hermione..." I heard Ron whisper exasperatedly.

"Is that so? If I may ask- How is it Mr. Weasley's fault?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"He's the one who bought us fire whiskey." I explained.

"Albus! Underage drinking! You must punish them." Snape reminded in his annoying, lifeless voice.

"Honestly, Severus. Don't you think they have enough going on?" Dumbledore asked, turning to Snape. I looked at Ron with a small smile and he returned a smirk. We might actually be getting off the hook!

"No disrespect, sir; but-"

"No disrespect, Severus; but my decision is made." Dumbledore cut him off. Snape stared at him in astonishment as Dumbledore turned to look at us.

"You will not be treated differently in the classrooms. You are expected to meet me at least once a week. You must update me on any future plans you make. And lastly, you must go to a doctor." Dumbledore said and we both nodded.

"Thank you, sir." Ron said and Dumbledore nodded his head at him. I smiled at the teachers and walked to leave the room with Ron. Once we were in the hallway and heard the door shut, I turned to Ron.

"We're not in trouble!" I cheered. Ron nodded and kept walking. "Ron! Did you hear me? I said, we're not in trouble! Why aren't you cheering?"

"Because, Hermione! Every time someone brings up the baby, you throw me under the bus and say it was my fault! You can't even take responsibility for your own actions..." Ron grumbled the last part and kept walking away from me.

"Ron! Ron! Will you quit walking for one second!" I chased after him. He stopped and turned to me with crossed arms. "I'm sorry, okay? I don't mean to, I just blurt it out. You have to understand where I'm coming from- I'm the smartest witch of our generation! No one expects me to be pregnant! So I just kinda look for an excuse, and you come to mind. I'm sorry."

Ron stood there for a moment, contemplating what to say. He sighed and looked into my eyes. "It's fine. But seriously, stop. You're making me look like a prat." Ron smirked.

"No... I think you look like a prat for getting a 16 year old that's not even your girlfriend knocked up." I said giggling. He smiled and shrugged.

"Yeah, that might be it." And with that, he laced his fingers with mine, and we began to walk to our classes.

00oo00o0ooooooo00000oooo...

Ron, Harry and I worked on our homework for a little while before supper that night. I was about half way finished with my essay when supper was called. Ron took my hand-which managed to confuse me even more about what to call us- and led me to the dining hall. Once again, people were whispering and staring when we walked in. We ignored them and went to take our seats. People were still walking into the large room as we waited at our table patiently.

"Of course the mudblood would get pregnant." I heard someone snicker from behind me. I spun around angrily to see none other then Draco Malfoy and his two stooges.
"What did you call her?" Ron yelled angrily as he stood up from the table. I grabbed his wrist, but he shook me off.

"Well, looks like Weasley finally got some stones." Draco chuckled.

"You better watch it, Malfoy." Ron stated gruffly.

"Or what?" Draco urged. Ron clenched his fist, and before Draco could react, he swung his fist directly into Draco's nose!

"Or that." Ron spat and sat back down beside me. Draco stood there holding his nose while it gushed blood. He quickly turned to the one teacher that was in the room- Hagrid.

"Hagrid! Did you see what he did! Expel him!" Draco yelled. Hagrid calmly walked over to where Draco was and tried to contain his smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy. I didn't see a thing." Hagrid lied with a smirk, and then he walked away calmly; leaving an enraged Malfoy, and a happy Ron.

00oo00o0ooo...

After supper, everyone had hung around the Gryffindor common room. Every few minutes, people would disperse until it left just Ronald and I. Apprehensively, I sat my book down and looked at Ron. He peered up over his essay and stared at me.

"Listen, thanks for you know... Standing up for me earlier." I stated awkwardly.

"No one should call you that. You're better at spells than Malfoy ever will be. And you're sure as hell a better person than he ever will be." Ron explained sweetly.

"Thanks." I said quietly with a smile. Ron nodded at me.

"I think I'm gonna call it a night. Walk to breakfast with me tomorrow?" He asked and I nodded. He collected his things and was making his way to the stairs, when I called him back.

"Ron, wait!" He spun around to look at me. Confusion was etched onto his face. "I was wondering... What do... What do I call us?"

"What do you mean?" He asked dumbly.

I took a deep breath and explained. "I mean, when people ask about us. Do I call us friends? Do I call us parents? What do I say?"

Ron thought for a moment then smiled at me. "Whatever you want us to be. Now, you better get to bed. You two need sleep." He said and walked to where I was. He kissed my forehead and let his lips linger for a moment, as he did the night before. As he was pulling his head away, I grabbed his shoulder and brought his lips to mine.

The kiss was short and sweet, and when we pulled away I bit my lip gently.

"See you in the morning." I whispered. And with that; I left the room, leaving a shocked Ronald Weasley behind.
