I own nothing.

This chapter has been edited. ENJOY!

Ron was still looking at Kingsley after Harry clarified what was happening in simpler terms. It's like Tonks and Lupin thought they were together! What the hell!? It should be me and Hermione not her and Harry! This is bollocks! Ron's face had crunched into one of anger before he practically growled out, "Well what does that mean for Ginny and I?"

Kingsley looked over at the angered ginger when he replied, "Well either you move into the house that they left for you or your sister does but if neither of you do then I am afraid that the ministry will take it over."

Ginny was paying attention to this exchange unlike the two sitting between her and her brother, she then posed the question everyone was thinking that had heard the reply. "Can they actually do that?"

Kingsley looked uncomfortable once again this group seemed to have a habit of that today. "Well yes they can but only because that is what Tonks and Lupin wanted. It is stated in the will did I not read that part of it?" He looked back to the will he figured that he must have been trying to get through it so fast that he missed the details on that section.

"No you didn't." Ron growled out between clenched teeth. Hermione looked over at him curiously she felt the vibration from his chest. He wasn't one to growl like that without good reason and she didn't think this was one, mostly because she wasn't paying attention which in itself was very unlike her.

"Ronald why are you acting like this?" He looked down at her next to him she was still holding one of his hands but now the other was holding one of Harry's as well. Which only served to anger him more.

"Because it's like they thought the two of you were together! And now with this you might as well get fucking married! I mean you have a baby now and have to live together why do you need me?" His voice got higher as he went and everyone in the room was stunned by what he said.

"Ron it's not like that!" Hermione spoke up before anyone else got the chance.

"Sure it's not!" He rose from the couch and stood over her and Harry. They were stuck in silence. Harry's eyes had widened and he had a strong urge to pummel Ron into the ground. Luckily Molly Weasley saw the drastic change in Harry and made to berate her son immediately before Harry did something he would regret.

"Ronald Weasley! How dare you speak to Hermione like that! What in Merlin's name has gotten into you? These were Tonks and Lupins wishes and you should respect them and let Harry and Hermione make their own decision! You on the other hand have no say in the matter!" She sounded just like she had in the howler she sent to Ron in second year for stealing the enchanted car. The only difference was that she was present this time and she was turning nearly the same shade of red as her hair. Everyone sat back in their chairs and some even took a few steps back, it was well known that the wrath of a Weasley woman was one you never wanted to encounter. They all began to look between the two gingers waiting for Ron to either apologize or make the argument even worse.

He looked back at his mother and then to Hermione and Harry who both appeared extremely uncomfortable. Hermione had small tears pricking the corners of her eyes and Harry had put his arm in front of her in an attempt to protect her should he do anything rash. Ron then turned to Ginny who looked right back at him with a look of understanding. The more he spoke the more she knew how he felt, and she began to recall a conversation they had not too long ago.

2 and a half weeks ago

"Ron stop you're hurting my arm." Ron kept pulling her towards his room he opened the door and pulled her in. He locked the door behind them and cast a silencing charm before he spoke.

"Ginny I think something is wrong." He looked at her with a look of deep thought on his face.

"Ron what is this all about? You're acting strange." She looked up at her brother a bit concerned. He looked back to his door before he replied.

"I think there is something wrong with Harry and Hermione, they aren't normal." Even though there was a silencing charm he still whispered as though someone might hear them. Ginny rolled her eyes at him, he really could be dramatic.

"Ron of course they aren't normal! We just survived a bloody war, none of us are the same! You are waisting my time with this." She turned away to head for the door as she put her arm out to grab the handle. Before she turned it he spoke up.

"I know that you feel it too Ginny." She dropped her arm to her side and stood without saying a word. She turned slowly and looked up at him. "What do you mean Ron?" She had an idea but she didn't want to be the one to say it.

"Really Ginny? Haven't you noticed the way that Harry is around you? He is hardly even there half the time and the other half he is staring off into space! Hermione is no better I don't think she even realizes that I am there most of the time. It is like we are non-existent in their eyes now. It isn't just the war that has changed them something else has happened something that we don't know about. I think it happened when I left them on there own, you know when we were searching for the Horcruxes. It makes sense doesn't it. When they are together they are more aware of what is going on then when they aren't!" Ginny took in what he said and she knew that he was right about how they were now, but she didn't believe what it was that he thought caused their behavior.

Ron spoke up again, "Hermione is trying to act as though nothing has changed but I can tell she has to force some things that used to be natural. I don't know what more I can do." He looked back down at his shoes.

"Ron," Ginny tried to get his attention back to her and out of his own thoughts. "It is probably just them trying to work through everything. There are somethings that they went though without us that we will never understand. We need to give them time. And you need to stop thinking that something happened between the two of them because I had the same suspicions at first. So much so that I asked Hermione about it." She looked down to the floor before she continued, "When I asked she told me that I had nothing to worry about because nothing had happened between them. I don't have a reason not to believe her and I don't think she was lying. We just need to be patient with them there may be somethings that have left a scar on them. We just need to support them." Ron raised an eyebrow at the mention of patience.

"Ginny you do realize that we are the most impatient people I know right?" She couldn't help but give a short laugh.

"Yeah I know but what else can we do?" She turned around and walked out the door.

Ron looked back over at his mother, she was waiting for an apology but she got none. He swiftly turned towards the back door and left the house. He walked out to the apparition spot and disapparated.

The air in the room stood still. Andromeda went over and sat next to Hermione she grabbed her hand and spoke up, "Hermione, Molly is right, this is between Harry and you to decide." She smiled at the young witch hoping it would calm her.

"But what about the house? What will happen if we don't move in?" She looked up into Andromeda's eyes with slight fear.

"Well," Kingsley spoke. "Andromeda is given the right to live here until she dies so from what is said she is guaranteed to stay but after she dies it is unsure. The ministry will probably overtake it after her death."

Hermione looked from Kingsley to Andromeda quickly trying to make up her mind. "I...I need...I..." She got up from the couch letting go of Andromeda and Harry's hands and ran up the stairs without a look back. Harry looked over at Ginny with an apologetic look before he got up. She gave him a nod and sighed to herself as she watched him walk away from her and up the stairs. He went a short way down the hall until he reached Teddy's room.

The door was slightly open when he got there he pushed it enough for him to get through and saw Hermione standing over the crib. He came up behind her and placed a hand on her lower back as he stood next to her. She looked up at him slowly as small tears ran down her face.

"What do you want to do?" He asked her slowly, he had decided to leave it up to her so that it was her choice and whatever she decided he would go along with. She looked back down to Teddy sleeping soundly unaware of everything that was going on. She knew that she couldn't leave Teddy it would be pointless for her to turn down what Tonks and Lupin had wanted. She knew she would end up visiting everyday anyway.

"Harry," She began before she looked up at him, "how much do you love Teddy?" He looked back at her somewhat surprised at her question.

"I don't think there is an amount that I could say, but I know that I love him and I would be there for him if he ever needed me." He didn't want to say the next part because he knew that it would make up her mind but he said it anyway without thought. "I don't want him to grow up without parents like I did." He looked back down at the bundle sleeping soundly. Hermione followed his gaze, she felt the same way she just wanted to be sure that he did to.

"I want to move in and be here for him." She looked back at Harry, "He needs parents and I want to honor Tonks and Lupins wishes." He looked at her with a small smile.

"Me too." They wrapped an arm around the others waist and peered down at Teddy with love in their eyes.

After Harry left the living room to follow Hermione up the stairs many of the Weasley's other than Ginny and Molly left to go back to the burrow. Andromeda and Molly were talking while sipping on some tea and Ginny sat on her own on the same couch that was once filled with two couples. Now those couples were separated, Ron was gone and Harry and Hermione were upstairs leaving Ginny by herself. She got up and told her mother and Andromeda that she was going for a walk and might just head back to the burrow afterwards.

Once she was outside she walked along the path in the garden she looked up at the house she had just left and saw a picture through one of the windows. It was a picture of a couple who looked at peace looking down at something that they both held dearly. She knew what the decision had been and she had selfishly hoped that they wouldn't have chosen it, even though she knew it was inevitable. She knew Harry wouldn't leave a baby with no parents if he could control it and now he could. It was something that she once found endearing about him but now seeing him with his arm wrapped around another's waist she couldn't help but feel betrayed. Betrayed by her friend Hermione for being so willing and her boyfriend for making up his mind without telling her beforehand. She glared at the pair and disapparated on the spot.

Hermione saw the fire red hair fly in the wind through the window and she saw that anger and hurt plastered on the girls face. She then saw the glare that formed directed at her. She shivered slightly in worry, not for her but for Teddy, she worried that the witch may take it out on him somehow.

"Ginny is angry." She spoke softly, Harry heard her and simply said. "She'll be fine."

He knew she would be angry, he expected it. He just didn't know what would come from it. He pulled Hermione closer to him and placed a chaste kiss on the side of her head as she took in their new son.
