Meanwhile...at the Burrow...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*************
The guys were looking through all the newspapers they had. They were sprawled out on the ground, and highlighting lines in the newspaper. "Hmm.this one looks good." Said Harry; pointing to an article he was holding.
(A/N: sorry, I'm not gonna tell u wat they were looking for!)
"Yeah, how bout this one?" Ron replied, he too, newspaper in hand, and pointing at an article. Suddenly, he yelped in pain and gripped his left hand so hard, it turned white. "Ron.. Ron, what's wrong?" Harry said, panic on his face. "Ow.. hand.hurts.OWWW!!!" was all Harry got. "Ron!! What the hell?" Harry said again, this time, stepping away a little.
"God, Harry, I'm not insane." Ron said after a few minutes. "Well, you sure did look like it." Harry teased. Ron punched him with his right hand. "So now can you explain WHY your hand was burning with pain?" Harry said. "Yeah, yeah." He said, and then continued.
"Well, when I got Hermione's engagement ring made, I asked the people to put a device in it. One so that if she's in danger, or something, I would know. It was supposed to come with some control thingy, but I lost it, so I went back. They didn't have any left of the kind that was in Hermione's ring, so they had to make this mark on my left hand ring finger, where my wedding ring'll be, and it'll burn in pain if she's in danger."
"Cool." Harry replied. "I'll have to make one of those for Ginny.." He thought out loud. Ron looked at him with wide eyes. Harry instantly blushed a deep crimson. "I-I mean if w-we ever do g-get married.." He stuttered. "Don't worry, I bet you guys are soul mates." Ron said encouragingly. Then it hit them. "The girls!!!" they both yelled together. They were out of that house as quick as lightning.
!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()
Two cold hands slapped over Hermione and Ginny's mouths. Obviously, the girls struggled as hard as they could. They got blindfolded and the people tied their hands together behind their back. Right before Ginny got blindfolded, she saw Hermione go limp in the person's hands. Ginny tried to yell to Hermione through the hand, but it was muffled. Suddenly, she felt a tingling sensation in her chest. Her eyes rolled around and then she too, went limp in her capturer's arms. *********^^^^^^^^^^^___________********^^^^^^^^___________*********^^^^^^
"Oh my god Harry!! How do you think the girls are in danger? Do you think it was Voldemort?? Oh my god!! What if he and the death eaters got 'Mione and Gin? AAAIIIII!!!!" Ron said in his high-pitched voice, pacing around. He and Harry had apparated to Hogsmeade. "Whoa, stop it there Ron. Are you sure that they're in Hogsmeade?" was Harry's answer, which was hard to say, because Ron was yelping like a girl, and he was trying to stifle his laugh. "Yes!! And how are you NOT panicking?!?! Your girlfriend and best friend could be suffering under Voldemort's spells right now!!" Ron raged. " Yes! I AM scared! Ginny is the love of my life!!! And I've known Hermione since my first year! But you've got to face it, Ron! How do you think we can reach them if we just panic in the middle of Hogsmeade, making a fool of ourselves!?!" Harry yelled, he was clearly getting very annoyed by Ron.
They suddenly heard a cruel voice behind them, the same voice Ginny and Hermione heard. Of course, naturally, they also whirled around. There stood the hooded creature Harry had fought in almost all of his years at Hogwarts. "Voldemort." Was all Harry said. "Potter." Was Voldemort's answer. His voice was in a whisper.
Unexpectedly, Harry saw Ron try to lunge at Voldemort. "What have you done to my fiancé and baby sister??!!" He demanded. Luckily, Harry hung onto Ron's collar when he tried to tackle Voldemort.
"What the bloody hell are you doing?" Harry yelled at Ron. "I bet you so much that he killed our girlfriends!!" he replied, again in a yell. The cruel voice spoke up again.
"As a matter of fact, they are not dead, as I wanted. The mudblood actually knocked herself out at the sight at me, and we had to put a spell on the girl I ALMOST killed in her 2nd year, if it weren't for you, Potter." Voldemort said, taking off his hood. His scaly face made Ron cringe.
"What have you done with them?!!? If you lay another hand on them, I swear to you, I'll-" but Ron couldn't finish. Harry had taken his wand out, and had sent a spell straight to Voldemort's head. Voldemort fell on his knees, and then his upper body fell down to the dirt.
As Harry had thought, all Voldemort's followers had come out, and were looking for revenge. Then, Harry thought of something. A death eater sent a spell at Harry that knocked him down. Still, though, he stood up in pain, and limped with all his strength to the group of death eaters, dodging all their spells. He took his hand and touched a few. They screamed out in pain and burned to ashes. He looked up and saw what looked like the never-ending line of death eaters. Surprised, Harry saw Ron torturing more death eaters. Not the same way as Harry did, of course. But with his wand, he was making them suffer a painful death. When Harry gained his strength back, he got up and started smacking some more death eaters until they were all gone.
The guys looked and saw where the death eaters came from. A store called "Tami's Best Dresses- For All the Dresses you want." They ran inside. There, they saw that the girls were tied up and immediately untied them. "Ginny?? Ginny? Gin!! Answer me!" Harry tried to shake Ginny's limp body awake. He pulled her close and silently sobbed. "Harry, she's not dead. She's not cold enough to be dead." Ron told him. Harry could tell that he had sobbed a little over Hermione's body a while, too. "I know, but how could Voldemort do this to her? ...We have to get them to St. Mungos!" Harry said, forgetting they were in a clothing store. Harry and Ron carried their girlfriends' limp bodies and apparated to the hospital.
Hermione had woken up right when she was put into a bed and changed into a hospital gown. She was comfortable Ron was next to her, holding her hand. "Hey." Ron whispered. "Hey." She whispered back, with all her strength. "Are you still in pain?" Ron said, concerned. "Yes, a little." She said, trying to sit up. "Shh.don't get up. You're safe." Ron said, rubbing her hand. Hermione smiled at her fiancé. She thought how lucky she was to have him. "Where's Ginny?" Hermione said, trying to look around. "The medi-wizards are trying to see what spell the death eaters put on her." Ron replied. "How's Harry taking it?" Hermione asked. "Not that well. He wanted to go in, but they wouldn't let him." Ron answered. "Stay put. I'm going to see what they can give you to kill the pain." Ron said, getting up. "Thanks, Ron." Hermione said, tired. Ron got up and walked out of the room. She looked around the room, seeing if anyone was in it. No, but there were windows in the walls, so she could see the next room over. Surprisingly, Ginny was in it. She was laying there limp and in a hospital gown. Many wizards and witches were casting spells at her body. She looked outside of that room. There stood Harry, pacing around nervously.
'God, please don't let Ginny die. She one of my best friends.' Hermione prayed silently. Just then, Ron came in, apparently pretty mad. "Damn wizards. They won't give you anything. Say they have to take some exams before giving you medications. Says something bad might happen." Ron said. "That's alright. As long as you're with me, the pain's fine." Hermione said, reaching out her hand to hold Ron's. She looked across the room to the room Ginny was in. People were still casting spells at her body. Suddenly, Hermione saw Ginny's eyes trying to open. When they did, Hermione tried to sit up. "'Mione, what are you doing?" Ron said, trying to make her sit back down. "Ginny. Over in the next room. She's awake." She said, jerking her head in Ginny's direction. Ron looked up. "I'll be right back." Ron said, getting up again. Hermione saw him walk toward Harry, point toward Ginny's direction, and Harry took off through the doors to the room.
"Told Harry." Ron said coming in, proudly. "Yeah, I saw that." Hermione said, teasing him. She looked over again. Now Harry and Ginny were holding hands, just they were. "Do you think the medi-witch will let me visit her?" Hermione said hopefully up at Ron. "Probably not, but it's worth a try. Fortunately, a medi-witch came in right after Hermione asked. "Excuse me, do you think I could go and visit Ginny Weasley in the next room? She's a good friend of mine." Hermione asked her. "Oh, no, dear. I'm sorry, but not in your condition." The witch replied. "Wait. What condition am I in?" Hermione said, confused.
"You mean no one has told you yet? We couldn't give you any pain killer spells because you are going to have a baby!" The witch said with a smile. "Congratulations!" she added. Hermione slowly looked over to Ron. Gradually, Ron's expressionless face turned into a smile. "We're going to have a baby!" He said, kissing Hermione. "Yes, but we're not even married yet!" Hermione reminded him. "That's fine! We'll be married in a week!" Ron said, now skipping around the room. Hermione smiled at the thought, then patted her stomach.
"Are you sure I can't visit her?" Hermione asked again, looking at Ginny. Ginny had a smile on her face now, and so did Harry. "No, I'm sorry. She's in a bad state right now. I'm sure she's very tired, and I'm not sure she'll want company." The witch told Hermione. "But she's my sister. We're concerned." Ron tried to persuade the medi-witch. "Well, I guess, if you're really that close. But we have to get you into a wheelchair. Come on now, dear." She said, pushing a chair toward Hermione. With Ron's help, Hermione successfully got into the chair. Ron pushed her over into Ginny's room.
Ginny's face brightened when she saw Hermione. "Oh, 'Mione, you're okay!" Ginny said excitedly. She tried to sit up, but then she cringed in pain. "That's okay. Don't try to sit up. We're more excited to see that YOU'RE okay." Hermione said to Ginny. "Why didn't you get any pain killers?" Asked Hermione. "I got a few. Did you get any? You still look like you're in pain." Ginny said, concerned. "Well, they wouldn't let me." Hermione said uneasily. "What? Why? Excuse me! Medi-witch!!" Ginny said, trying to get the witch's attention outside. Hermione was amazed that Ginny had the strength. " No Ginny. I already asked them." Hermione said. She looked slowly at Ron again. Then she gave him a look that said, "Should we tell them?" Hermione saw Ron nod.
"Ginny, Harry, we have something to tell you." Hermione said. "What? Is something wrong?" Harry asked, now he sounded concerned. "Oh no, everything's fine. It's just.. that we're going to have a baby!" she said with a smile. Harry and Ginny's eyes widened and their mouth's dropped. "Really?" Ginny said. "Yup!" Ron replied excitedly. "That's great!" Harry said. "But where are we going to live? I don't think the Burrow's big enough for all of us." Ginny said. "Well, that's what we were looking for when you were shopping. We looked through the newspapers until we found the right one. We haven't seen it yet, but it sounds perfect. It'll fit all of us!" Harry said excitedly.
"Oh my gosh!! What happened to all the stuff we bought?" Hermione said, panicking. "Don't worry. We got it all." Ron said, pointing to a pile of packages outside the door. "Okay, thanks. Got a little worried there." Responded Hermione. Ron rolled his eyes. "What about your wedding gown and the bridesmaid dresses? We never did get them." Ginny reminded Hermione. "What's wrong with getting them after we get out of the hospital? It won't take that long, will it?" Hermione said. "Well, I suppose not." Answered Ginny.
Two days later, Hermione and Ginny were all healed, and the girls were ready to shop again. "We're going to get the dresses. It's the last thing we need." Hermione said to the guys. Ron and Harry groaned. "Aw, 'Mione, do we have to?" Ron begged. "Okay, fine. You don't have to go." Hermione said while sticking out her tongue. Ron returned the tongue. "We have to take a look at that house anyway. It's around here in Hogsmeade, somewhere.but these damn maps don't seem to help." Ron said, trying to figure out how muggle maps worked, holding one in his hands. Harry reached over and turned the map right side up. "Oh!!!" Ron said, after realizing it was upside-down and actually understood the map. The girls rolled their eyes and walked off into "Tami's Best Dresses- For All the Dresses you want."
They were surprised to see that it wasn't harmed. "So, what kind of dresses were we getting again?" Ginny asked Hermione. "I think it was that kind in an aqua color." Hermione responded, pointing at a dress that was pinned against the wall. "Hello girls!! How can I help you?" a lady said, coming out from the back. "Oh, yes. That dress in the aqua color, please." Hermione said, again pointing at the dress. "And how many?" the lady asked. "Um..I think there are 5 bridesmaids." Hermione replied. "Okay. Sure. Excuse me a second first. The lady went into the back compartment and came out with 5 dresses in hand. The girls paid and left.
The guys were looking through all the newspapers they had. They were sprawled out on the ground, and highlighting lines in the newspaper. "Hmm.this one looks good." Said Harry; pointing to an article he was holding.
(A/N: sorry, I'm not gonna tell u wat they were looking for!)
"Yeah, how bout this one?" Ron replied, he too, newspaper in hand, and pointing at an article. Suddenly, he yelped in pain and gripped his left hand so hard, it turned white. "Ron.. Ron, what's wrong?" Harry said, panic on his face. "Ow.. hand.hurts.OWWW!!!" was all Harry got. "Ron!! What the hell?" Harry said again, this time, stepping away a little.
"God, Harry, I'm not insane." Ron said after a few minutes. "Well, you sure did look like it." Harry teased. Ron punched him with his right hand. "So now can you explain WHY your hand was burning with pain?" Harry said. "Yeah, yeah." He said, and then continued.

Are you sure that they're in Hogsmeade?" was Harry's answer, which was hard to say, because Ron was yelping like a girl, and he was trying to stifle his laugh. "Yes!!
