Chapter 4

Hermione knew why she was at the Burrow. She and Edward had been making plans for their wedding for a few months now and it was time to tell the Weasleys.

"So, darling, what are you doing here," Mrs. Weasley questioned in her usual cheery tone.

"Well I was just wondering if we could... chat?"

"Of course!"

"Well, Mrs. Weasley, Ron has been gone for three years. And Erin is just a few months into her twos and Ron is her father. Well Ginny introduced me to Edward."

"He's a lovely young man sweetheart. Also no one had any question whether or not Ron was Erin's daddy. I know you miss him and I know that no one could ever take his place in your heart, but you really need to find a life for you and Erin."

Hermione was starting to get impatient. She was biting her lip, tapping her foot and rolling her eyes when Mrs. Weasley put her head down.

"Well Mrs. Weasley I'll always be in love with your son but you are exactly right. Erin needs a father and Edward asked me to marry him and I said yes and I just wanted to apologize for any pain that I might cause you."

"Oh, well I must say that I was not expecting that. But Ron would have wanted you to move on. He would want you to be happy over anything in the world."

Hermione was starting to tear up. That's not what she thought at all. She thought that Ron would be furious if he knew that she was giving up on him and she was furious with herself. He'd asked her to wait for him, but he didn't know about Erin. He didn't know that Hermione hadn't done a spell to prevent her from getting pregnant. All she wanted was to have a part of Ron with her forever even if he himself never came back to her.

"Oh Hermione. It's okay! He wouldn't have wanted us to mourn forever," Mrs. Weasley choked out before she grabbed Hermione and they went into a full on sob fest.

They cried together for half of an hour, when a large brown owl swooped in and dropped a muggle piece of paper on Hermione's lap.

Hermione looked at Mrs. Weasley confused as to why anyone would be sending her a letter at the Burrow when everyone was there already. The letter was also on muggle paper which confused Hermione more. Mrs. Weasley gestured to Hermione telling her to open it. As Hermione opened the letter she smelled smoke and sweat.

Hermione,

I am alive. This is the first I could get word out.

Ron

It was then that Hermione handed Mrs. Weasley the letter and fell to the ground.

A/NYAY!!! RON'S BACK!!! YAY!!! NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF!! hope you enjoyed please review.
