so... i got a few reviews, but not as many as i'd hoped for. =(
i guess i'm just spoiled because my first story (day terrors and night dreams) got a LOT of reviews. go read it if you havent already!! read all my stuff!! and all my friends' stuff! and all the great stories in my 'favorites' list!! and stuff by all the great authors in my 'fav. authors' list! or just some of that stuff cuz most of you probably have lives and dont want to read six THOUSAND stories just because some crazed lunatic told you to... well, go read my stuff anyway! how'd you like that? hmmm?
sorry, ranting and ravings there. i'm truly not THAT insane.
disclaimer: not mine. i'm not saying it is so don't sue me! Besides, i'm a minor and therefore all my stuff is technically my parent's and they didn't do anything to you!
PLEASE READ AND RESPOND! REVIEWS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND!!!
also, please forgive any typos. i try my darnedest but sometimes, you know, i miss one.
"Harry! Gin! Come on and get your selves over here, Mione and I have something to tell you!" Ron shouted into the glittery blue flames. He then turned around and embraced his fiancee, the huge grin still plastered on his face.
"So..." he placed a hand on her stomach and another on her back. "How's Ronnie Jr. doing?" he asked her.
"Ronald Jr.?" Hermione asked, a note of disgust on her voice.
"Yeah, well, what do you suggest we name him?"
"Not Hermione. A nice, simple name. You know, one that people can actually pronounce?" Ron laughed a hearty little laugh.
"Well that's not a problem, seeing as it's going to be a boy."
"You don't konw that!"
"I'm one of seven and six of us are boys. My whole family's like that, and you should know that it's the sperm that carries the deciding chromosome."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"It's still quite possible that she's a she. We could name her... Annie."
"Like the orphan who sings all those stupid songs? I don't think so. Besides, it's going to be a boy!"
"A girl!"
"Boy!"
"Girl!"
"BOY!"
"GIRL!"
While they went back and forth screaming at each other about the gender of their unborn child, they were oblivious to two pops and the two new people that entered the room with them.
"BOY BOY BOY!"
"GIRL! GIRL GIRL GIRL!"
Ginny looked at her husband, eyebrows high. Harry chuckled in response.
"What do you think they wanted?" He asked her.
"Maybe to say that they've come to some sort of agreement?"
Harry laughed, "In case you can't tell Gin, they don't ever agree. On anything."
The two of them slowly walked around the fighting couple and sat down on the couch. After watching their best friends for another few minutes, they engaged in quiet conversation. Eventually, Hermione shook her head due to her annoyance at Ron and she noticed the people in her flat.
"Given up have you?" Ron challenged.
"Harry and Ginny are here."
"When did they come?"
"I don't know..."
Harry looked at them like they were insane, and Ginny's face mirrored her husband's.
"We've been here for about ten minutes," Harry told them. "Now that you've finished your meaningful little spar, would you like to tell us what the hell is so important?"
Ron's face suddenly split into a gigantic grin, the likes of which Harry and Ginny had never seen. Hermione also blushed a little and smiled from ear to ear. Somehow, Ron's hand had made it's way around Hermione's waist, and Hermione's hands were gently resting on Ron's shoulder. They looked like they were posing for a prom photograph. Ron took a deep breath and his chest puffed out a bit.
"We're getting married!" He announced happily.
Harry stared at them for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"You're getting married??? You two? Who can't even wait ten minutes for us to get over before arguing? Poor little guy."
"HA!" Ron errupted, "Even Harry think's it's going to be a guy!"
Hermione rolled her eyes and pulled away from Ron.
"Man," Harry muttered, "He's never gonna get any ever again." This quiet comment went unnoticed by Ron and Hermione, but Ginny heard and slapped him quietly. While Hermione lectured Ron about how he needs to stick up for them instead of arguing over something stupid that they should have already dropped, Ginny hissed a nearly inaudable lecture at her husband.
"That's none of your buisness! And you should be supporting them! Ron's been trying to propose to her for over a month now! I can't believe you're so insensative! And what EXACTLY did you mean by that comment? Hmm?"
"Oh calm down Gin, you know I'm happy for them and so do they. Besides, all I meant was that with them always arguing, Ron's going to spend a LOT of nights on the couch."
"Well you can spend one there tonight!"
Harry's jaw dropped. "Ginny!" he whined, "That couch is so lumpy!" But all his argument gained was a dissaproving glare from his wife.
"ANYWAY!" Hermione called loudly, interrupting Harry, Ron, and Ginny's talking. "We wanted to ask if you'd like to come with us to dinner at the Burrow tonight. We have to tell them the good news. Tomorrow morning we have brunch with my parents."
"We'd love to!" Ginny said cheerily, then she muttered darkly to Harry, "Maybe Mum'll let you stay there. She sure does love you more than her real sons, so I'm sure she'll give you one of their beds for the night." Ron heard it and laughed.
"If she offers you Fred and Georges room, stay clear. Their old joke stuff is still all over the place, and some of that stuff's not even tested yet." Harry groaned.
AT THE BURROW
"Well hello dears!" Molly's voice rang out cheerfully! "What a wonderful surprize! Ron didn't tell me that you three were coming as well! Hermione, how are you dear? Aurthor says that you're supposed to go to Japan in a few months? How facinating, I know how much you love to travel and Japan is such a different place. I suspect your studying the language already."
"Actually," Hermione said in an amazingly calm voice, "I'm not going to be able to go. Change of plans."
"Oh, that's too bad."
Hermione smiled a shy, secretive kind of smile and said,"Actually, it's just fine. I'll have more exciting things going on here."
"Hey Mum," Ron interrupted, "Lets eat! The food smells great!" Everyone laughed at Ron and his appetite.
After dinner, the Weasleys and Potters retired to the livingroom. Arthur had sat near Hermione and was buisy asking her about the function of a television, Molly had sat near Harry and was asking him if he and Ginny were having 'problems', and Ron was standing in front of the fireplace- shaking. Everyone was relaxed, except for Ron, and they were sipping drinks and talking lightly. Ron took a deep breath and hit a spoon against his glass lightly. Everyone stopped what they were doing to hear what what he had to say, his face was pale and his ears were pink so some of them knew what was coming. Hermione smiled widely; she'd been waiting for this moment for a long long time.
"I have an announcement to make." Ron stated loudly. "I know this family is already huge, and the last thing we need is more people, but too bad. This morning, I was given a nasty shock, but it's all for the best because today Hermione and I came to an agreement, and two new people are entering this family."
Harry and Ginny clapped, Hermione grinned a huge and silly grin, Arthur clapped, but Molly Weasley frowned.
"Two new people?" she asked. Ron gulped and stated, "Yes Mum, two new people. Mione and ... our future child."
"You're only having one?" Arthur asked incredulously.
"Well, we haven't decided on a number yet, but we're definately having one." Ron said carefully. Hermone looked around at everyone's faces, and she knew that her future in-laws didn't quite grasp what was going on.
"We're already having one," she said and watched Molly's eyes go wide.
"RONALD WEASLEY ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU GOT HER PREGNANT BEFORE YOU PROPOSED?!" she burst out loudly. Ron cowered behind his fiancee and could only respond with a whimper. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"He bought the ring months ago," she tried quietly, "I already knew about his plans before it happened."
Molly took a deep breath and look slightly pacified.
"Well then Hermione, I don't blame you at all. However, Ronald, I think that this was very irrisponsible of you." She shook her head sadly, "I thought I'd taught you better."
"Mum," Ginny scolded lightly, "I think he knows what happened and how stupid he was. They are getting married, and he was already planning on it before anything happened. And don't neglect the fact that he's a grown man, he doesn't need a guilt trip from you. Hermione's the one marrying the git, let her lecture him- I'm sure she will." Molly smiled sweetly at her youngest child.
"You're right Ginny, such a smart girl you are. Hermione, you as well. I'm so happy with both of you."
Then men in the room all groaned.
NEXT TIME: HERMIONE'S PARENTS!!!
