I've been doing my summer work and I've had end of summer parties to go to. I apologize. From now on though, since we're all starting school and work and such, I'm only going to be posting on weekends. Every Saturday and/or Sunday I'll post a new chapter. That way I'm not distracted from my schoolwork

Hermione.

I work as hard as I can to keep my mother off the topic that is Fred and I's relationship. I help her clean, offer to cook, just keep her busy. But by the fourth day of my mini vacation, I knew she was going to bring it up. She just had this mischievous look in her eyes. She knew what I was trying to do and went along with it. But now she was ready to talk.

"Hermione!" My mum calls from the living room. I sigh as I walk slowly downstairs.

"Yes mum?"

"Sit." I sigh again and sit across from her on the large sofa on the other side of the long glass coffee table. I barely pick up my feet, loving the feel of the freshly cleaned carpet on my bare feet. "I know you've been trying to avoid this conversation, 'Mione. But honestly I can't help but think your brains a little-err-well mental...lately."

I frown. "How am I mental?"

Mum raises an eyebrow, ready to get into a whole big thing but stops when my father enters the room. I watch as my mother smiles, lighting up her whole face when she sees him. "Jack, remember how I told you we needed to talk to Hermione? Now's the time."

"Ahh yes." My father gets comfortable on the couch with mum. "'Mione darling, what's going in with you?"

I lay down on the sofa and yawn. "What do you mean?"

"You've never seemed the type to push for marriage and kids," my mum answers.

"I just-I-" I try to explain but I can't find a reason. "I'm not sure." My father raises his eyebrows but doesn't say anything. "Its just...after seeing so many people...so close to me...die, during the war, I just got this 'life's too short' mentality." My mum starts to speak and then seems to realize I have more to say before even I do. She knows me better than I know myself. "But lately the mentality's wearing off. Ginny promised me that when James is born, I can visit and babysit as often as I want to really get a feel of having a child. Of course I won't know about the before birth process. Only what I've read in books."

My mum grins. "All of that stuff is baloney. They make some stuff sound so awful when in reality it may be your favorite part of the pregnancy."

I smile. My dad starts speaking and both of us turn to him. "Hermione...are you-that is to say you and Fred-ready for that?"

"We both want it more than anything."

"Yes, Hermione, but are you ready for it?" I've never thought about it that way. I know it's what I want but is it what I'm ready for? "I don't mean to alarm you," my father says chuckling. "I can already see the gears running through your brain darling. I'm sue you want a family very much but make sure you're ready."

I nod. "You're right daddy."

My mother beams at her husband. "Very well said Jack." She turns to me. "So when you go home tomorrow, you'll sit down with your boyfriend and speak with him about this right? I know you're trying not to change your mind sweetheart but don't force yourself to want something. You'll just end up being unhappy and going mental."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I stay in the living room a little while, thinking and reading, until my mother calls for my help. "Hermione! Help me fix dinner please?" I begin to walk towards the kitchen when the fireplace flares. I stand there wondering who is flooing my parents at dinner time.

I get y answer a minute later when my boyfriend steps out. "Freddie!" I squeal and run to him. I throw my arms around him and my lips are on his before he can say anything.

"Hang on a minute, love. Who are you and what have you done with my girlfriend?"

I grin. "Whatever do you mean?"

"You initiated some PDA? It's as though I don't know you anymore."

"Oh shut up Weasley. What are you doing here?"

"I invited him for dinner," my mother says from behind me. "I figure you'd want to see him sooner then later."

"Thank you mum."

Another short and quick chapter. I just wanted to get in her sort of a view change before I go into their conversation. Think of this as a part 2 to the last chapter?

There will be more Percy soon!

Okay I start school tomorrow so I'm definitely going to be busy…stay tuned? I guess? Review with your ideas for this story? Thank you!

I just want to give a quick shout out to the people who continuously show love to this story.
