A/N: While since my last chapter I know, but heres a new one for your enjoyment :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione sat down on the sofa and was she was so very glad it was a nice soft sofa. She could feel her baby move about inside her now and again…

Hermione let her self smile softly as she closed her eyes.

To think when she lost her eye and had been scarred by Beatrix that she though Ron would no longer love her anymore.

She been an utter idiot because if anything Ron seemed to love her even more now and always put so much more effort into making sure she was ok and felt loved.

And now she was carrying there baby, Hermione let herself giggle, she was feeling so happy, well she did feel happy until about thirty seconds latter when Luna came into the room.

"Hello Hermione, hello bump" she said as she sat in chair in front of the sofa, Hermione had her eyes closed (her replacement eye let her see right through he eyelid), so for all Luna knew Hermione could have been fast asleep. Hermione sighed.

"You ever thought I might be trying to get a nap?" Hermione asked in an irritated tone.

"I did, but then I realised you snore in your sleep." Luna said serenely "also I want to talk to you about bump"

"What about it?" Hermione said as she opened her eyes and turned to look at Luna's, she was being honest with her at any rate.

"What you going to call bump when he or she is born?" she asked with a look of intense curiosity.

"I was thinking of going for something tradition like Amy if it's a girl or David if its boy" Hermione said after a bit of thought.

"They sound rather exotic to me, there muggle names aren't they?" Luna said with a wide smile as she stated the obvious.

"Well yes, but I want my children to be proud of there muggle roots" Hermione said while stating the clearly obvious fact.

She knew Luna was bright (the fact she figured out that Rubik's Cube out fairly quickly that Hermione bought for her birthday was enough evidence that there was in fact a well functioning brain in her skull) but she really had a bad habit of not paying attention and letting her insane delusions effect her judgement.

"Well I decided on what names I want to use when I have some babies " said Luna, beaming like she was the happiest person in the world, which in all fairness wasn't that uncommon a state for Luna these days, the lucky bitch. "I'm going to name my babies after the planets"

"Mars, Venus and such?" Hermione asked with forced politeness.

"Well not Mars, he was the god of war in roman times you know" Luna explained the rather obvious fact once again "But Venus is a very nice name I think, she was the goddess of love after all"

"Also Mercury and Jupiter are nice names too" Luna said happily. Hermione wondered how Harry felt about Luna's plans to name all there future kids after planets, she had enough deep talks with Harry over the years to know that his idea of a good name was one with a history of belonging to someone he admired who happened to be also dead.

"Through I don't know about Pluto, he was the god of underworld if I remember correctly..." Luna continued on with clear intention of going on for the next century.

"Shut up!" yelled Hermione at the top of her voice, and Luna stop talking very suddenly. However she continued to stare at Hermione. Harry ran in about ten seconds latter, and looked at both the girls, clearly waiting for one of them to say something which was something Hermione could have figured out without reading his mind.

"Ok I lost my temper... sorry, just want to sleep and she won't..." Hermione managed to sneak out in a low mutter. Harry sighed; Hermione avoided eye contact, because she really didn't want to know his thoughts right then.

"Come on Luna, let give Hermione some peace and quiet ok?" he asked an uncharacteristically shaken Luna, who quickly nodded.

Had Hermione really been that intimidating? The two of them disappeared upstairs, she was pretty sure they start the poetry soon enough and then they get real noisy, Hermione tried to get in some tranquillity while the two of them were doing poetic foreplay.

Hermione finally relaxed a few minutes latter and touched her little 'bump'; she knew it would be only a few months before the child of her and her red headed lover would be born. Hermione fell to sleep with a smile.

She was woke up rather pleasantly by a kiss on her lips from her Ron. She quickly realised he had quietly picked her up and placed her on his lap.

"And how's my two utterly brilliant loved ones today?" he asked while covering her neck in kisses, he was always too good to her…

"Awake now thanks to you Mr wake-me-up" she said as she half heartedly tried to resist his kisses.

"Well don't blame me for being a good owl man" Ron said as decided to tickle her instead, after she final stop giggling her head off she finally managed to talk again.

"Oh and what mail do you bring my mail owl?" she said in her attempt to sound seductive.

"Apparently some friend of yours thinks she found something about the SOTB's" said Ron before he bent down and kissed her, she felt spoiled rotten. "Also please try to keep your temper Hermione, because while Luna pretty forgiving of your outbursts, Harry much better at remembering..." as he let it hang Hermione felt the guilt rush over her.

Dam it Ron knew her too well.

"I go apologize now…" Started Hermione, as she reluctantly got off Ron's lap and onto her feet.

"She's in the kitchen by the way" Ron added .Hermione felt more than slightly anxious as she walked into the kitchen.

Luna looked her normal dreamy self as she turned to face Hermione from what Hermione assumed was cooking, either that or Luna was brewing a purple potion of some kind in one of the kitchen pans.

"Hello Hermione "she said calmly as she stirred her pan.

"You ok?" Hermione asked as nicely as could.

"Oh yes, I was rather scared earlier when you shouted at me, but Harry and me talked it over." She said as pored what looked like curry powder into the pan.

"And what conclusion did you reach" probed Hermione, Luna really did have a bad tendency toward being vague.

"Oh its obvious that being with child is stressing you out a rather lot, also you been a lot less happy since you lost your eye and you also probably feeling rather guilty over Viktor's death." she spoke bluntly as she broke a few eggs into the pan.

Hermione stood there a few moments as she processed Luna's words.

"I'm still sorry I shouted at you" Hermione said ever so meekly.

"I know" she said as dreamily as usual, as calmly as normal while she added what looked like barbecue sauce into the pan.

"I best help with the cooking; your unique style isn't to everyone taste" Hermione said moments before Luna's strange pan of cooking caught fire.

"Oh I don't know, Harry always seems to eat my food" Luna said as she shot water out her wand into the flaming pan. Hermione smiled slightly as she started looking for some potatoes, course Harry would eat Luna's crazy food, he loved her silly.

It was sometime latter when Hermione was ready to go see Wendy. She walked out the house and apparated to Wendy's, did the secret knock on her door and was greeted by her much older friend thin face, thin grey hair and gleaming emerald green eyes which were alive with energy. She fondly remembered that she had been the one to teach her Legilimency.

"Come in! Come in! Hermione my dear!" she said in her normal jolly voice as she took her into the living room.

"Now Hermione I have some important truths about the Bringers to tell you" Wendy said in her normal jollily voice.

"Oh what you found out" Hermione asked excitedly.

"There not here and they can't save you" Wendy said coldly as she kicked Hermione with inhuman strength into the stomach and sent her flying into a bookcase.
