This tale is not for those who expect a happy ending. In true fact it is not at all for those who expect a happy beginning. This is the tale of a murder suicide of a once happy couple and the affairs never meant to happen.
'I hear a voice say don't be so blind
It's telling me all these things
That you would probably hide'
On the morning of the murder Harry turned over feeling a warm body on the other side of him. He opened his eyes to see his new bride half naked and sleeping next to him. Even after six weeks of marriage he still couldn't believe that he married Hermione.
After all the official declaration of his loyalties he began to suspect that his bride was not completely faithful. Upon his return from the war against Voldemorts armies of Death Eaters he discovered that Hermione had given him a son.
Communication was forbidden during the final battles. Their son had been born without Harry's knowledge. Somehow or another the lack of communication continued into their marriage.
'Am I your one and only desire
Am I the reason you breath
Or am I the reason you cry
Always
Always
Always
Always
Always
Always'
Hermione insisted that the now eight month old Vittorio James was Harry's and that she had been more that faithful during the fourteen months of his absence. This time included the eight months of her pregnancy. There was no faith in his fiancée when he left and there was not much faith even after they were married.
Naturally most of what she had fed to him upon his return was a lie. However don't get her wrong. Vittorio James Potter was Harry's legitimate son. However three months before he had returned she began an affair that would lead to her end.
Now Hermione Granger was no fool and she didn't begin her affair as soon as Harry was drug into the war. To be honest until Vittorio was born there was nobody in Hermione's life. Not many believed that Harry would return from the war and told Hermione that she should move on. She didn't give up on the thought that maybe her love would return and she waited.
Her pregnancy discovery was indeed amazing. She had already been twelve in a half weeks along meaning that she had eight in a half weeks alone already.
Vittorio James Potter was born on the first of May. The labor was not an easy task at hand and Hermione endured the whole thing without a potion to end the pain.
Ronald Weasley returned that day from war. He had gone to fight at the same time Harry did, but when he lost his arm during one of the battles the regiment of wizard soldiers did not see a use for him to continue.
The two did not have a run in until the day after Vittorio's birth. At first sight, Hermione believed that she had hallucinated the six foot red headed man, but then he said hello and she was swept away in a gust of happiness that she had lacked since before Harry had left.
She invited him over for tea the next day.
Slowly over the visits Ron relived the war, he spared his old friend most of the gory details of the battlefield. When she asked him how he had lost his arm he told her about the Death Eaters and their love to hear people scream for death. Eventually you learn when the Cruciatus was administered several times you learned not to scream. It had been a Death Eaters way of getting off. Ron was captured by a myriad of Death Eaters. On the second day they put him under the torturous spell. Naturally he screamed, but he did not scream for death nor did he scream for mercy, only the Death Eaters present and Ron knew what he had screamed. It wasn't until after the second time that Ron understood you shouldn't scream. They would torture him near death and still he refused. His arm paid for their time as well as his freedom.
When Hermione questioned whether or not he had seen Harry, Ron muttered that they had gotten into an argument just before reaching Voldemorts citadel and went their separate ways.
The days grew hotter and conversations more and more deep. Middle July brought great news of Voledemort and his factions of Death Eaters downfall. The news brought forth great joy, but for Hermione and Ron it was only a bittersweet triumph. Harry was dead and his body was discovered among the casualties of the citadel.
There was a long period of anger, mourning and suicide thoughts.
Little did they know, the Boy Who Lived and the reason Voldemort had met his timely demise was still very alive.
'I just can't live without you
I loved you
I hate you
I can't get around you
I breath you I taste you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I'm guessing I'm out the door
And I'm done with you'
There turned out to be a reason as to why Harry James Potter had been identified as a casualty to the last battle.
When the Auror clean up crew arrived at the citadel to clear away the deceased witches and wizards they found a wizard resembling Harry with the identification tags reading Potter, Harry J. The body as well as the tags were thrown into the casualties pile.
As most do, Hermione moved on in life, not knowing that her fiancé was still alive. She removed her engagement ring for the first time since their graduation. Upon her twenty first birthday she made her first appearance as a single woman.
'Done with you
Done with you
Done with you
Done with you'
Ron was Hermione's first suitor as most of the men ran away when they found that Hermione had a son. Not many wanted much to do with the fact she had once been with the great Harry Potters "widowed" fiancée and the mother of his son.
The couple spent much of their time with eachother. By October they were sleeping together. Nothing between them was at all awkward. There wasn't that much of a change in how they treated one another. Ron was still the same old fun loving idiot and Hermione was still the smart intellectual.
An eerie wind decended upon the house of the Boy Who Lived as what appeared to be a ghost made way up the front stairs of his home.
It had been early in the morning when he had finally made it back from being held by American Aurors who had found him and nursed him back to health.
Unlike most who would barge into their home, Harry rang the bell and waited for an answer. Snow began to fall just as the door opened.
Nobody would ever be able to repeat the miracle of what happened that cold November morning. Lucky for Ron and Hermione they had not been together that morning. Ron had to go into the Aurors office before dawn.
Wedding plans went on immediately all the while Ron and Hermione kept up appearances. Harry even apologized to Ron for being stupid and asked him to be his best man.
Little did he know and soon would he find out that his beautiful bride to be was not very faithful during the last months of the engagement.
The only questioning was little Vittorio. Hermione raised her eyebrow and shook her head at Harry telling him that when he had left she had already been pregnant. Already unsure of the faith in his fiancée, Harry continued to help with the wedding plans.
There were stories from other Aurors on the field. One of the stories had come from Seamus Finnigan. While Seamus had been away from his wife, Lavender, she had gone straight to booze, drugs and one night stands. Upon his return a year later he caught Lavender in bed with another man. Both were higher than kites and drunk off their asses. For once the Irish Gryffindor did not lose his temper, instead he went straight for the battlefields to unleash his fury on sixty two Death Eaters.
That story had been passed to Harry the day he got to the battle field. He swore that if he had been Seamus, both Lavender and her lover would be found dead.
The wedding arrived in January. Vows were said including the vow 'to have and to hold forsaking all others until by death you do part.'
For a second time Hermione became pregnant. Vittorio would have a little brother or sister if October would ever come to pass again.
'I feel like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things
I guess I'll see you around
It's all been bottled up until now
As I walk out your door all I can hear is the sound'
There was a two week honeymoon in which Hermione and Harry spent together happily before they returned home. For a long while Harry noticed a change in Hermione whenever Ron was around.He questioned the man who had stood on his right while he and Hermione exchanged vows.
Hermione eventually drove herself to spending every waking minute with Vittorio. Somehow her love for Harry could be said to be dead and her love for Ron was alive and extremely vibrant.
'Always
Always
Always
Always
Always
Always'
Ron was afraid of Harry and what all his friend was capable of after slaughtering the Dark Lord. He went to see Ginny about the illicit affair. A part of him wanted to end his relationship to Hermione while another part wanted to keep it alive.
Ginny told him to let go, though she didn't know that he had been speaking of himself and Hermione.
The chance he would ever end his love for Hermione would never happen. He met her for lunch one day in Diagon Alley in the beginning of February to end it all.
Hermione did not look healthy that afternoon. She had told him that she suspected that she might have been pregnant, but she wasn't sure.
'I just can't live without you
I love you I hate you
I can't get around you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I'm guessing I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you'
The bad news came for Hermione on February fifth. She was pregnant. What made the situation even worse was the fact she had no clue who had sired the child.
Some how or another she managed a smile and told her husband.
Harry was overjoyed to find that he would be a father for a second time. His thoughts of Hermiones faithfulness passed as he ran out to buy stuffed animals for the newest addition. He knew that he would be there for this baby.
'I love you
I hate you
I can't get around you
I breath you I taste you
I can't live without you'
Hermione scheduled a meeting with Ron who was making his living alone in a small apartment in Hogsmeade.
The morning she was to meet Ron at his house she gathered Vittorio, left a note for Harry and took the Knight Bus to Hogsmead. It was cold that February morning and Vittoriio was already sick. She still did not want to leave her little one with his sleeping father.
Ron welcomed the two into his apartment and served tea. Hermione laid out a blue blanket and laid Vittorio down for a mid-day nap.
Tears streaked down Hermione face as she prepared to tell Ron of the pregnancy.
'I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart'
Neither knew that Harry would drop by to tell his best friend that his wife was pregnant.
Harry heard voices coming from Ron's apartment. One voice belonged to Hermione. He heard her tell Ron that she was having a baby. Ron seemed to get excited and that's when Harry heard Hermione say that she was not sure of who the father was.
He felt the jealousy betray him. Hermione's uncertainty of the father of her unborn child angered him more that anything in the world.
The jealousy drove him to the purchase of the pistol.
'Always
Always
Always
Always'
Harry stowed the gun in his bedside table before Hermione got home later that day. He wouldn't understand the reason he wanted to kill his wife. There was no lover to speak of at the time of the purchase so there was nobody else to punish for her mistakes. After a few drinks he began to re- think the whole situation.
The newlyweds went to bet that evening without a single word to eachother. There was nothing to say as there was the lack of evidence.
Harry James Potter got up the next morning drowsy from the liquor he had the night before. Hermione slept on. Deciding that she should sleep for the baby's sake he left their bed feeling uneasy. He dressed and decided to take Vittorio to see Ginny.
Ginny had not changed much as far as looks went, but her personality had changed a bit over the years. Part of this change was due to the fact she had married Goyle a year after she had graduated from Hogwarts. The story turned out to be that Goyle had always had a crush on her, but he knew how much Slytherins hated Gryffindors. If anything, the war is what drove them together.
Goyle and Ginny had twins, one boy named Corbin and a girl named Artimis that were just a month older than Vittorio. The infants played with eachother and just as Harry prepared to leave Ginny offered to keep Vittorio overnight. Agreeing Harry apparated to his back yard.
He went up to his room to change robes. Once he had finished he went downstairs to get a drink.
The sounds of moaning sounded from the library when he passed by. He stopped to listen. On the other side Ron's voice was heard. For the second time Harry was maddened by his jealousy. He summoned the pistol with his wand.
Nobody knew whether or not Harry was sane when he heard the moaning, but they say to never mess with a mans family.
Hermione and Ron scrambled to cover their half naked bodies. Harry raised the gun and pulled the trigger. The first bullet hit Hermione in the shoulder. She fell to the couch bleeding heavily. Ron screamed that he would explain, but Harry couldn't hear him. His sanity was gone.
The second shot rang you hitting Hermione in the head killing her instantly. Realizing there was nothing to do, Ron tried to run.
Shots three and four both hit Ron in the head. He was dead as soon as the second bullet penetrated his temple. Ron collapsed on to of Hermione.
Sanity returned and Harry fell to his knees realizing what he had done and wishing that he hadn't. His lungs felt as if they would collapse as he hyperventilated. The ministry would throw him in Azkaban for this.
'I see the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel more like a man
Was it all just apart of your plan
The pistol shaking in my hands
And all I hear is the sound'
There was not much to do as far a choices. There were three options and none of them were good. Harry could either turn himself in for twenty to a double life sentence, run, or take the cowards way out. He decided and made out his will leaving Vittorio to Ginny and Goyle and forging Ron and Hermione's name to the paper. He sent the will with Hedwig.
He prayed for forgivness. For a period of fifteen minutes he considered turning himself into the Aurors, but then he heard voices of people bellowing death to the murderer who killed his best friend, wife and unborn child.
'I loved you I hate you I can't get around you I breathe you I taste you I can't live without you I just can't take anymore This life of solitude I'm guessing I'm out the door And now I'm done with you'
Harry was alone in his home facing his decision with the two corpses of his wife and best friend on the couch. He looked over to see that Ron's eyes were open. The faint smell of copper reached Harry's nostrils and he retched onto the floor.
He knew that after that day he would never see his son again.
'I loved you I hate you I can't live without you'
Harry summoned a full bottle of Firewhisky and began to consume the contents of the bottle. The brew tasted strange, It almost tasted as if someone had poisoned it. Not caring whether or not the brew was poisoned, he continued to guzzle the burning liquid.
Maybe if he died and entered the afterlife he would be with his family and Sirius again. Perhaps Hermione would be faithful to him there and Ron would forgive him.
'I loved you
I hate you
I can't live without you'
Then he remembered halfway into his drunken stupor that Hermione was pregnant.
This case of murder was like no other. Some judges may look at it and charge Harry with double homicide and others would charge him with triple homicide.
After all an embryo's heart begins to beat after twenty-five days after conception. That embryo could be considered a life despite the fact there was not a live birth.
'I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I pick myself off the floor
And now I'm done with you'
Inside a drunken haze, Harry lifted the pistol to his head and pulled the trigger ending his pain as well as his life.
Once Ginny received the will she had Aurors deployed to Harry's residence.
Aurors removed three bodies from the house towards early evening. The ordered and autopsy for each of them.
Potter, Hermione L. died officially on the fourteenth day of February at three twelve pm due to gun shot wounds fired at a distance of twelve feet. She was exactly six weeks pregnant.
Weasley, Ronald V. died officially on the fourteenth day of February at three thirteen pm due to gun shot wounds fired at a distance of twelve point two feet. The child his lover had been expecting was not his.
Potter, Harry J. died officially on the fourteenth day of February at four thirteen pm due to a direct gun shot to the head. The child that his wife carried..
Was Not His.
Draconis Lucius Malfoy came forward a year later with his own story to tell of his own illicit "one night stand" with Hermione the morning before she was married to Harry. He unintentionally impregnated her and left her just as quickly as he came.
'Always Always Always'
So ends this soap opera-esque tale of a doomed couple stuck in a triangle of passion. Nothing good came from the example of the Boy Who Lived Again and Again and his wanton wife.
Their tragic tale was not passed onto Vittorio until he turned sixteen. Before he appeared to be a semi-normal happy teen. After the story was passed to him he remained the happy teen on the outside world, while on the inside he slowly drank himself to death before he too shot himself in the head after discovering his girlfriend had become pregnant with another man's baby.
The moral of this tale is that history repeats itself. I hoped you enjoyed this dark tragedy. I will be releasing "Bring Me to Life" as soon as I get it written. Reviews for this story are much appreciated.

There was not much to do as far a choices. There were three options and none of them were good. Harry could either turn himself in for twenty to a double life sentence, run, or take the cowards way out.

Harry summoned a full bottle of Firewhisky and began to consume the contents of the bottle. The brew tasted strange, It almost tasted as if someone had poisoned it. Not caring whether or not the brew was poisoned, he continued to guzzle the burning liquid.
Maybe if he died and entered the afterlife he would be with his family and Sirius again. Perhaps Hermione would be faithful to him there and Ron would forgive him.

I can't live without you'
Then he remembered halfway into his drunken stupor that Hermione was pregnant.
This case of murder was like no other. Some judges may look at it and charge Harry with double homicide and others would charge him with triple homicide.
After all an embryo's heart begins to beat after twenty-five days after conception. That embryo could be considered a life despite the fact there was not a live birth.
'I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I pick myself off the floor
And now I'm done with you'
Inside a drunken haze, Harry lifted the pistol to his head and pulled the trigger ending his pain as well as his life.
Once Ginny received the will she had Aurors deployed to Harry's residence.
Aurors removed three bodies from the house towards early evening. The ordered and autopsy for each of them.
Potter, Hermione L. died officially on the fourteenth day of February at three twelve pm due to gun shot wounds fired at a distance of twelve feet. She was exactly six weeks pregnant.
Weasley, Ronald V. died officially on the fourteenth day of February at three thirteen pm due to gun shot wounds fired at a distance of twelve point two feet. The child his lover had been expecting was not his.
Potter, Harry J. died officially on the fourteenth day of February at four thirteen pm due to a direct gun shot to the head. The child that his wife carried..
Was Not His.
Draconis Lucius Malfoy came forward a year later with his own story to tell of his own illicit "one night stand" with Hermione the morning before she was married to Harry. He unintentionally impregnated her and left her just as quickly as he came.
'Always Always Always'
So ends this soap opera-esque tale of a doomed couple stuck in a triangle of passion. Nothing good came from the example of the Boy Who Lived Again and Again and his wanton wife.
Their tragic tale was not passed onto Vittorio until he turned sixteen. Before he appeared to be a semi-normal happy teen. After the story was passed to him he remained the happy teen on the outside world, while on the inside he slowly drank himself to death before he too shot himself in the head after discovering his girlfriend had become pregnant with another man's baby.
The moral of this tale is that history repeats itself. I hoped you enjoyed this dark tragedy. I will be releasing "Bring Me to Life" as soon as I get it written. Reviews for this story are much appreciated.
