Trouble in the Sweet Shop
Chapter 19
Molly stayed silent, how was she meant to react? She was confused and Molly hated feeling that way. Just over a year and a half ago, Hermione, the young girl who was best friend and then girlfriend to her youngest son, the girl who she saw as a daughter, had left. Just like that, no note, no nothing. Harry and Ron had returned home for a weekend, planning on surprising everyone they said. On this day, they had seen Hermione, they said she was acting strange and that she was heading to her parents and that was that. Not wanting to upset Hermione further, she left her alone, contacting her parents via owl to make sure she was ok. They said she had come home in hysterics and soon after she had taken ill.
"Mum? Did you hear me? I said I saw Hermione..."
"Is she ok?" What else could she say, she was dumbfounded and a little relieved that somebody had spoken to Hermione.
"She's fine, better than fine in fact. She's...she's grown up" Ginny looked at her mother, who naturally was taking in every word she said. Hearing from a lost "child" was a lot to take in.
"What do you mean grown up?" Ginny but her hand on her mothers hand and took a deep breath. Her mother was over the moon when she found out Hermione and Ron were together, it was a beautiful end to such a bumpy and tragic ride that was the war. How would she react knowing that they would never be together again?
"Mum, I know you wanted Hermione and Ron to get back together but she's moved on, She's sort of...married"
"WHAT?"
"...and has a baby" Ginny finished, her voice getting quieter.
"Oh, well that's...wonderful news." What? Ginny was shocked at her mother's acceptance. It was a little hesitant but it was definite acceptance.
"Are you sure mum because I know you were routing for them to get back together and all but trust me, she's happy. I've actually never seen her this happy."
"Of course, I guess it was a little selfish of Ron to ask her to wait, the girl needs to live her life whilst she still can. There is no saying when Ron will be back. It just seems so fast." This was definitely going to take some getting used to. Her other daughter was married with a baby and she had yet to meet them. Mrs Weasley stood and began fixing dinner. She needed to busy herself, it always helped her to think.
"Who is she married to?"
"She didn't say" Ginny was terrible at lying to her mother, she could always smell a lie from her children.
"Ginevra..."
"Mum, I told her I wouldn't say. When she feels ready, she'll tell you and when she feels ready, you'll get to meet little Scorpious. You have to remember this is different from anything she had planned. She wanted to be a top healer, get married and have her own place before having a baby but it was kind of sprung on her. She wasn't with him that long before they knew she was pregnant. She's still trying to get used to the whole idea." Mrs Weasley nodded, taking in all of this information.
"I told her I'd tell you this much, you can tell everyone else but mum, one thing. I don't think we should tell Ron or Harry" Molly's head snapped towards her youngest, there was no way they could keep a secret this big from them, they were all family.
"Why? They deserve to know"
"Because it would ruin Ron, he couldn't cope with this. It's something that has to be said in person, after their mission is complete. It shouldn't be that long anyway, they seem to be doing really well." It took a while but Mrs Weasley agreed to keep it a secret.
It was only a matter of days before the whole Weasley clan knew of Hermione's family, all except Harry and Ron. It was strange for them to accept this news, something that would have to take some getting used to.
A/N: Sorry it's only short but I wrote more to this but it really didn't fit with the rest of the story and I felt it was better like this than ruin it with the first part of the next chapter or something
Thank you so much for all the support.
