The world of Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Dedicated to my sister... The one who believed in story and gave it a chance...

Ron was sitting at table in master's bedroom going thru some case papers. Even though five months have passed it was still hard to see those pictures. He looked at them over hundreds of times, but still couldn't find anything. Passed days and weeks hadn't brought anything. He was still standing on dead spot. He wanted Harry first to tell him his part of the story, he wanted to start from there. From a person who's supposed to be responsible for this.

Harry, once Wizarding world's biggest hero, someone that had respect from almost every witch and wizard was now sitting alone and lost in a prison for a crime he didn't commit. Not just that it was about Ron's brother in all but blood. Ron was concerned for him. He visited him once, sometime even twice a month and every time he did, concern only grew. Every time when Ron visited, Harry looked worse than last time. Usually he talked like Ron wasn't there or he would ask some unrelated questions. Whenever Ron wanted to talk about that night, Harry would turn around or simply ask about someone.

On top of all papers sat a letter. That day at the office, Harold came and gave it to Ron. He said that Harry asked him to give it to Ron. At first he was surprised knowing that Harry had the same communication with the others as he had with him, almost non-existing one. Ron accepted the letter saying Harold that he would read it. He still didn't. He couldn't collect enough strength to open and see if there's something of his friend left. Countless of times that night he took the envelope only to put it down again. He still hadn't told Hermione about it. He knew that she would make him read it. He would always told her when something's bothering him, it was her who listened his worries about Harry and she was his light. But he felt like this letter was something that only he knew about right now.

The bathroom doors opened. Hermione entered the room warped in mantle with a towel holding up her wet hair. Her pregnant belly was showing quite clearly right now. She slowly came next to him and gave him a kiss on cheek. He turned to kiss his lips. Then suddenly Ron pushed her straight in his lap which caused surprised shriek from Hermione. She playfully hit him in his forearm and they kissed him once again.

"Well, someone is in a good mood…"Ron commented kissing her once again.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" she asked him raising one eyebrow.

Ron quickly closed files causing a letter to fall down. He stood up and went to make his way toward the bed when Hermione stopped. She crouched to pick up a letter but Ron was quicker. He took the letter and stuffed it in a drawer. He turned only to see suspicious Hermione looking at him.

"What was that? And don't you dare to say nothing Ronald…"

"Hermione, it's nothing that should bother you, it's about a case, nothing-"

"Ronald. Only case that you're working is the one with Harry and if there was one you'd tell me. Now, either you'll tell me what's inside or your partner in next few nights will be couch. It's your choice."

Ron just stared at her. He could choose, then he will. He took a pillow and a blanket, took a file and a letter and went downstairs leaving stunned Hermione. He entered quiet living room and sat down. He groaned in his hands realising what he has done. He acted like an idiot that's what happened. Why hadn't he just told her and had normal night. He sighed and took a letter. What else could he lose? He cautiously opened en envelope and found Harry's handwriting inside.

Ron,

I know that you must be surprised to see me writing. I need to talk to you. About that night. I know that I'm acting strangely, I feel it too, but I guess that I'm trying to block out all of the pain. Please come tomorrow morning, the night's shift is the one with dementors and I'm not sure that I'll be able to talk after it. I'll tell you everything that you want to know. And I beg you bring some chocolate…

Harry.

Ron just stared in a paper not knowing what to feel. He sounded, normal… he reread letter once again. He wants to meet, could he risk it? He adjusted pillow in a most comfortable position and laid down. Lights turned off only a light from the wand allowed him to stare at the paper until late night hours.

To Ron it seemed that the Sun raised earlier than normal. He sat up nursing his stiff neck. Sitting up carefully he looked down. A letter laid on the floor. As the yawn came he crouched to pick up a letter. He placed it somewhere in the file and got up. His first stop was the kitchen. He prepared himself a cup of coffee and made sweet tea for Hermione placing warming charm on it so it won't get cold. After a quick shower he dressed up in a clothes that he found in a living room. Next room he visited was nursery. Rose and Albus were both standing up in their cots happily chatting.

"Dada!" almost two year old Rose said raising up her hands asking to be lifted.

"Unca!" Al said next copying James.

"Well hello you little menaces, have you had good night sleep, huh?" Ron said lifting them up.

Just a few weeks after everything, Ron and Hermione decided to start potty training and they could say that they had done pretty good job. Of course from time to time there were accidents, but who could blame them? They did their morning needs and went to the kitchens. Ron slowly began to prepare breakfast. The clock showed straight seven o'clock. He gave both Albus and Rose a bowl of porridge and pumpkin juice in a sipping cups and went to check on James. Little guy was sitting on his bed hugging stuffed toy. Ron slowly entered the room and sat down next to James.

"Good morning buddy, what's wrong?" He asked looking at James.

"Notin…" he murmured his voice muffled by toy.

"Jamie, you know that you can tell me…"

"Is Auntie and you gonna send me and Al away?" he asked in a small voice.

"Jamie, where have you got that idea?" Ron asked shocked.

"Fwed tell me…."

Ron took a deep breath and placed him in his lap. James was still looking down until Ron held up his chin making him look into Ron's eyes.

"I need you to remember something, ok? No matter what, we will not replace either you or your brother. You understand?" said Ron in serious voice.

James nodded and hugged his Uncle. Ron returned embrace. He lightly kissed James's head and went downstairs. When he entered the kitchen he was surprised to find William there playing with Rose and Al.

"Hello Will- I mean, Boss."

"Oh shut up Weasley, only because I'm and Head auror it doesn't mean that you need to be so formal." Said William with a chuckle "I'm here to collect you up, Harold said that Potter had something for you."

On surname James looked at Ron.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah Buddy, I'm going to pay your Daddy a visit." Said Ron placing him down and taking a cup of still hot coffee "Will would you just wait a second so I can- OH BLOODY HELL!"

Ron tripped causing a cup of coffee he was holding to spill all over his robes. With a quick wave of his wand hot liquid disappeared. He looked at William only to find him laughing hard. He just opened his mouth to say something when he stopped in tracks.

"Bwoody!" his daughter yelled.

"Oh shit… no Rosie that's a bad word." Ron said hoping that they would stop.

"Shit?" Al said testing new word.

"Dammit! Al stop and you too Rose. "He said panicky as Rose along with Al continued to repeat the word.

"Unca, what Dammit mean?" asked James.

"Oh fuck, I'm dead meat…" Ron groaned.

"Go, go I'll cover for you!" William said trying to contain laughter.

Ron didn't had to be told twice. He collected all of the papers, quickly kissed blabbering kids and exited the house. As quickly as he could he apparated.

Azkaban still had its own cold atmosphere. As quickly as he could he went inside. After quick hello to the group that guarded today he went toward the third floor. He came in front of the cell and saw Harry sitting on the bed his knees upon his chest. It reminded him of a broken Harry right after the murderer. His beard got longer, his thin frame was only decreasing. There was no doubt that he was getting worse. He entered the cell and placed privacy charms.

"You got my letter?" He asked.

"Yeah, you said that you need to tell me about that night." Ron said sitting down in a chair.

"I…I was working on a case. An illegal organisation that uses children for their own needs. I went to the man to speak with him about it. Find my notebook and you'll see what I'm talking about. He gave me quite, well I'm going to say weird informations. I had to sit somewhere to think about it. I went to the nearby park. I was reading until light went off. I used Lumos trying to make some light but it didn't work. I decided to go home. I apparated in front of the house and heard two loud cracks. I entered inside and found her there. Other part you know from the auror's office." He finished in a small voice.

"Thanks. I promise you Mate, I'll get you out of there, but you need to promise me one thing. Don't lose yourself. You still have Jamie and Al out there waiting for you. James asks about you every day."

Gentle smile nestled upon Harry's lips.

"I'll try… but sometimes… sometimes it's so hard, I just feel lost… I'm so scared…. I really am"

Ron stood up and hugged his broken friend. He held him in a hug as Harry cried. He didn't know what to say. It took quite a time for Harry to calm him down.

"Well I have to say something to you. I guess I taught them few new curse words…" Ron said smiling guilty.

"I'm sure that Hermione would have a fit, Gin would for sure…" he said tears streaming down his face.

Ron reached for his bag ad took out chocolate that he brought. He took it out and gave it to Harry. He chuckled as he took it.

"Thanks, It will help tomorrow… hopefully I'll be only awake for a beginning…" he looked at Ron only to find him lost in his thoughts "What's wrong?"

"It's just, Mione and I had a row… it wasn't nice…"

"Go home, pamper her and the baby, be with kids and… and tell Jamie and Al that I love them" he finished softly.

"I'm telling them that every single day… I'll see you soon. And please, stay strong, for all of us. Now that you gave me the information that I needed, you're a step forward you leaving this hole…" Ron said exiting the cell.

Harry took sharp stone that laid on the floor and he craved a single line in the wall. He turned to look at the opposite side of the wall. Old lines were cowered by colourful drawing from Al, James, Teddy and some were even from Rosie. He loved his goddaughter so much. He always wanted to have little girl that he could spoil rotten, they even planned it, but now… now he needed to concentrate on his family, his three boys. Ron was right, he couldn't let everything collapse on him. Then he, as he did so many times, dived in the memories that graced much brighter times.

Hustle at the street seemed more pronounced than it did usual. Ron walked bumping in so many people but he didn't care. He thought about what Harry told him. He knew that he didn't have to react on that way last night. What could cheer her up? Suddenly, an idea came into his mind. He went straight toward Diagonally.

Hermione was not having a good day. Last night she had a row with Ron. She knew that her reaction was probably exaggerated but not that she would admit it to Ron. Entire night passed in her tossing around empty bed. A little bit before Sun raised she managed to fall asleep but baby jumping on her bladder woke her up. Calmer than she was last night, Hermione went for a breakfast. She expected to find Ron, but instead of him, in her kitchen stood no one other than laughing William Jones and bunch of swearing children. After she got rid of a laughing auror she had to deal with kids. It took her until noon to stop them and then she noticed something on a table. Cup of still hot tea was awaiting for her. She took deep breath and took it. She knew that she should be angry on him but now she couldn't. She sat down and took the cup. It was about noon when she heard door open. She stood up and placed stern look on her face.

"Ronald Billius Weasley! What in the world were you thinking? Teaching them curses?! Are you out of- oh…" she suddenly stopped.

Ron was standing at the door with bouquet of flowers in his hands. He came closer to her and kissed her lips gently. She took flowers and smiled gently at him.

"Oh I hate you…" she murmured smiling at him.

"Wait for a little longer to hate me, I'm not finished yet." He said giving her a box that was hidden in his robes.

She confusedly took it and opened. Suddenly she inhaled sharply. Inside laid small brownish kneazle sleeping tightly. She looked up at him, gentle smile still present on Ron.

"I know it has been only a year since Crookshanks' gone, but I thought that this little guy will be welcomed here… I'm so sorry for last night, I acted like an idiot…"

"You did, but so did I…" Hermione said suddenly hugging him tightly "What have I done to deserve you?"

Ron didn't answer, he just hugged her tightly.
