Here's the new chapter guys! (Thanks for all the sweet reviews!)
Ron's POV
I looked around my grimy apartment with distaste. I never was very good at cleaning spells, that was always Hermione. My apartment had been like this since she left and it pissed me off. Who was she to leave me?! Because she loved the boy who lived? Fucking Potter was such a prat. It wasn't enough that he was married with three kids, had enough gold to make malfoy jealous, and all the fame he could ever want. No he wanted more. He wanted the only thing I had that he didn't. Hermione.
"Fuck you potter!" I threw another glass at a picture of him and I.
"Ronald Weasley! This place is filthy!" I heard the shrill voice of my mother
"Not now mum"
"You need to have this place cleaned and ready for after tonight. We are going to make everything right. But hermione won't want to come back to a slob!"
"Mum! I'm shit at cleaning spells! You know that!"
"Watch your language!" She waved her wand and the room started cleaning itself. I smirked inwardly, mum never did like a room messy so if I left it long enough she'd get it.
"Now march into that loo and shower. I want you looking your best tonight for when Hermione comes to dinner." She pushed me towards the loo with a wave of her hand. I knew she was right. If I wanted her back I would at least have to look somewhat nice. Lord knows she can be picky
Flaschback
I was sitting with Hermione with our friends in the leaky cauldron. We'd been officially dating for almost a year, she was laughing with Luna as I noticed Ginny and Harry starting to leave tiredly. "Herms, we should get going huh? It's getting late."
" Just a moment Ron"
She sat there talking for another five minutes before I finally managed to get her out of the bar. I apparated us to my place
"Ron. I need to go home."
"Herms come on. Spend the night with me."
"Ron I don't think that's a good idea."
I pulled her inside my flat while she muttered little excuses for why she shouldn't. "Herms, I want to become closer to you. I love you"
She looked unsure as she let me lead her into my bedroom. A half hour or so later we were laying beneath my sheets tiredly. "Ron..." she started sounding unsure
"Hermione. I know you wanted to wait till you were married but it'll be ok. Let's get married"
"Ronald! Is that what you call a proposal?! I like having sex with you let's get married?!"
"Herms"
"Shut it!"She grabbed her clothes and got dressed while completely ignoring me"
"Herms! Come on!"
With a pop she was gone in a second.
FlashBack Over
Ginny's POV
I sliced through the tomatoes on the cutting board with a newfound ferocity I hadn't seen in myself in years. I missed having someone to cook for me. The laundry was starting to pile up as I continued to put off doing it. I couldn't believe Harry. We had children. I didn't care that he had slept with Granger. I honestly didn't. But did he have to get her pregnant? He'd destroyed my life. I was a respectable figure. I had a doting husband and three children. I had more gold than I could spend. I had a man to see on the weekends. I had everything I could have ever wanted in life.
"Bastard" I mutter as I chop harder and faster at the defenseless tomatoes. When I pick them up to place the now pulverized fruit only to find that there were splinters of the cutting board mixed in.
I threw them into the trash as I glare at nothing in particular. I couldn't believe him. He ruined our lives for her. For another woman.
FlashBack
I walked down the isle in my beautiful flowing gown. It moved as smoothly as water and was lighter than air. It slid across the floor behind me as I walked toward Harry Potter. My lover, my friend, my confidant. He was looking at me in a way that made me shiver but as I drew closer his eyes no longer seemed to follow me. Instead they had landed on a brunette in a red bridesmaid's dress. His eyes didn't leave her and they had the same look. I shook it off as I grew closer and his eyes switched back to me. He smiled weakly and held out his hand for me to take. And as I did I could feel his fingers shaking with nerves. Wasn't he as sure about this as I was?
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Witches and Wizards! We gather here this morning to witness the joining of these two young souls.' Kingsley said over the deafening silence of the crowd.
"They have elected to speak their own vows. Ginny?"
I took my hand from Harry's so I could grab my little paper with my vows. "Harry, I have loved you since you saved my life in my first year. I have loved you since I saw you win the quidditch cup in my second year. I have loved you since I saw you defeat a dragon. I have loved you since Voldemort came back in my third year. I have loved since you crushed on Cho Chang in my fourth year. I have loved you since we dated in my fifth year. I have loved you since you left me to fight. I have loved you since you defeated voldemort. I have loved you forever, and I will love you until my dying day." I was crying by the end of it and I looked up from my slip of paper to see him looking like he'd been hit in the face.
"Mr. Potter" Kingsley said which jolted him out of his reverie.
"Yeah...Um. Ginny. I have done wrong in my life. I left you when I should have stayed to protect you. I went after other girls before I was with you. But I want to do right by you. I want to make you happy." His vows were short. They were nice. But I didn't feel as loved as I wanted to. I was numb as we exchanged rings. I was numb as Kingsley pronounced us bonded for life. I was numb as he kissed me.
End FlashBack
I sighed as I looked back to my hands. I would notice that look a lot just not toward me. Toward her. Toward Granger. I was in love with him. I loved him so much but he never saw past her.
Flashback
I grinned as I looked at the little slip of parchment in my fingers with the St. Mungo's crest in bold. I was finally pregnant. I had been trying to get pregnant for months! I was beyond excited to tell Harry!
I waited patiently on the couch for when he would get back from the burrow, when he finally walked in I jumped at him excitedly. "Harry! I'm pregnant!"
He smiled then said "Wait...were we trying Gin?"
"I was...aren't you happy?"
"Of course Gin. I am ecstatic." I knew he was happy about having a baby. It was just having one with me was what got him a bit down.
End Flashback
I bore him three children. I loved him for years and he did nothing but look at her. I couldn't stand it. It hurt that the only man I had ever loved didn't ever feel that way for me. It was always someone else. As the years wore on I could only find solace in things outside of my so called home. In my work first...then in Dean's arms. I felt guilty for not telling Harry...but I couldn't let go of Harry. I was scared to be without him, even if he didn't love me.
Hermione's POV (Burrow)
There Harry and I stood, in the garden of the burrow. Usually it looked warm and inviting but now it looked foreboding and cold; I shivered as Harry took me by the hand and led us into what I was sure was our impending doom.
The door behind us swung closed and trapped us in the room full of red haired vipers. I took a deep breath and sat down in an empty spot with Harry beside me in the other. Molly was right across from me and she looked like she'd eaten a bogey flavored bertie bott's every flavor beans.
"Hermione, Harry...how are you two?"She asked blandly
"Fine...the kids are settling in well. They're handling the divorce pretty well." Harry says coldly
"You already told them about the divorce?!" Ginny says in a shriek
"Of course I did Ginevra. What was I supposed to say when I take them and their things to a new house without you?"
"You could have just said anything Harry. They would have believed you, they're children for god's sake."
"They may be children but they are not stupid. My children happen to know that it is odd for a man to suddenly move his children out of their home and into another with a woman that is not their mother. Please think before you speak."
"Harry, it's that kind of hostility that is going to make this harder than it has to be." Molly said evenly
"And what is this exactly?" Harry said just as evenly. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as we waited for the answer.
"It should be obvious Potter. You're here to take my sister back and give me back my fiance." Ron growls out toward Harry.
"I have no intention of giving up Hermione. She is going to be the mother of my fourth child and is going to be my wife someday." My heart jumped at his words. He wanted to marry me. But I couldn't bask in my excitement for long since I heard Molly begin to speak.
"Harry. We all know that isn't going to happen. Deep down Hermione loves Ronald and you love Ginny. We just need you all to talk it out-"
"And have MY daughter call him dad?! I will not let that happen. I never loved Ginny. I have loved Hermione for years."
"Well she loves me. She can't love a specky, whiny, fame hungry git." Ron growls with his father's hand holding his shoulder to keep him from lunging.
"I didn't love you either Ron. I'm sorry..." I mutter timidly as I watch his face go from red to this uglyish purple color. But before he can lose his temper Molly says "Nonsense Hermione dear. And even if you didn't you'll grow to now. For the baby's sake."
"The baby is not his. It is Harry's." I say firmly
"we don't know that for sure"
"That is not-"
"I want a paternity test." Ginny grumbles from her seat
