Chapter 7 - Emotions
Hermione tapped her foot impatiently as she waited in front Gringotts' Bank. Ginny was rarely on time just because she felt she had to look perfect. Hermione glanced down at her watch and it read 2:10.
"Oh, good job, Ginny, you're ten minutes late." Hermione said aloud, but not loud enough for anyone to hear, or so she thought.
"Sorry, 'Mione!" Ginny said from behind and Hermione turned around to face her. Ginny hugged her quickly.
"I was just kidding, Gin." Hermione smiled sweetly before continuing on, "Before we can start this big shopping extravaganza I need to get some galleons."
"Yeah, me too." Ginny replied. The girls walked in to the bank and went up to the head counter. Of course the head goblin, Grimban, had seem them both plenty of times as Mrs. Ronald Weasley, and Mrs. Harry Potter, so Hermione and Ginny weren't expecting a hint of trouble.
"Yes, I'd like to visit the vault of Mrs. Harry Potter," Ginny said. Grimban looked at her strangely.
"Mrs. Weasley, since when have you become Mrs. Potter?" Grimban gave her a curious look and looked at Hermione.
"No, I'm Mrs. Weasley," Hermione said. Grimban looked from Ginny to Hermione and chuckled.
"Quite funny, you two." He said dully.
"We're not kidding!" The squealed together.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to play around with the bank security as you two are obviously trying to pull something off. I always knew little Ms. Weasley was just like her brothers after all these years. Now please, remove yourself from this bank." Grimban said before going back to the accounting he was doing.
"What!?" Ginny exclaimed.
"Fine, we will leave." Hermione said in a smart-ass tone, "You just wait 'til our husbands find out about you kicking us out." Grimban didn't even look up at her when she said this.
One second later Ginny and Hermione both apparated back to Ginny's house.
"I can't believe he did that!" Hermione was frustrated, Ginny could tell.
"I don't see where all this confusion is coming from. You look just like normal Hermione to me," Ginny said examining herself in the mirror.
"And you're still Ginny," Hermione said calmly.
"I don't understand what's going on," Ginny sat down on her bed, exhausted.
"Me either," Hermione began before she felt that familiar queasy feeling coming over her body. "I'm going to be sick." Hermione ran towards the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
Ginny just stared at herself in the mirror. Everything from her ginger-y read hair to her small, cute frame. She didn't know why everyone was getting Hermione and Ginny confused.
Hermione slowly came out of the bathroom.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay."
"So, what do we plan to do now?" Hermione asked. Ginny was still staring at herself in the mirror, not really paying much attention.
"I don't know…" Ginny said dully.
"Well, I'm going to go home and try to think of something… anything," Hermione said and Ginny nodded her head. "Bye, Gin."
"Bye, Mione."

Hermione was glad to finally be back in her real home. She landed in her living room and glanced around her. She couldn't describe how good it felt to be home. It had only been a day, but she missed seeing Ron and their little kitchen and her computer…
"Ron?" Hermione called out. No answer.
Hermione walked into the kitchen and spotted the note Ron left.
Hermione,
Hey, honey. I went to work for awhile. I should be home around five o'clock. Then we come really spend some much-needed time together.
I love you so much,
Ron
Hermione smiled at the note and went up to her bedroom to change. An hour later, Hermione was cleaning up their bedroom when she heard the front door open. She smiled at herself, Ron was home.
She quietly snuck down the stairs to see Ron at the kitchen counter going through their post as she snuck up behind him and placed both hands on his eyes.
"Guess who?" She said sweetly.
"Ginny!!" Ron grinned excitedly.
Hermione's hands dropped furiously.
"I am not Ginny, Ronald Arthur Weasley!" Hermione yelled.
Ron turned around to face what looked to be his baby sister and gulped.
"Uh… Ginny, are you sure you're okay?" Ron asked smiling down at his sister.
"I don't know what everyone is trying to do here, but I am not Ginny and Hermione is not me!" Hermione felt a tear trickle down her cheek.
"Ginny, calm down. Pregnant women need lots of rest… You'll get over this," Ron said sweetly and walked her over to the sofa.
"No! Ron! Can't you see?" Hermione began, "I am H-E-R-M-I-O-N-E!"
"Sure?" Ron said, not wanting to upset her anymore than she already was. "Let me call Harry and this will all be settled." Ron got up from the coach quickly and hurried over to the phone.
Hermione could only hear bits and pieces of the conversation.
"Yeah, she's acting really strange."
"Sure. We'll be there in five seconds." Ron hung up the phone and walked back into the living room.
"C'mon, Ginny. We're going to go back to Harry's now."
Ron grabbed her hand and with a blink of an eye they were in the living room of Harry's house.
"Ginny!" Harry ran into the living room and hugged his wife.
"I'm going to be sick…" Hermione began. She ran swiftly up the stairs, holding tightly to the railing next to her. As she arrived upstairs she saw Ginny weeping by the bathroom door.
"What happened?" Hermione asked kneeling down next to Ginny.
"He seriously thinks I'm you. He can't tell!" Ginny sighed and continued letting tears escape her eyes.
"I know, Ron, thinks the same."
"I don't know what to do, Hermione." Ginny looked up at her best friend.
"For once, neither do I…"
