Chapter 5: A Few "Little" Surprises

(A/N: Yes...it's still flashback...I'll let ya know)

Hermoine waited anxiously. She had never seen Ron look so serious. He had now moved his head out of his hands and was staring straight at the wall in front of him, tapping his right foot, and running his hands through his long, ginger-colored hair. He suddenly turned and looked her square in the eye. A nervous chill ran up her spine. Oh for Merlin's sake, stop overreacting. It's probably just some stupid little thing that he's making into some HUGE deal. Pull yourself together!

Just then Ron opened his mouth, ready to spill his guts. Hermoine leaned forward, encouraging him to talk. He sighed and began. "Well, you see...in fifth year Harry and....." He was cut off by the sound of footsteps. The doorknob wiggled and then there was a soft knock. Ron rose to unlock and door. When he opened it, a small girl, aged three years or less, stood outside holding a small ragged doll in her hand. She had red hair, darling dimples, and beautiful green eyes. They were like large, sparkling emeralds.

The small girl quickly attatched herself to Ron's leg. He simply sighed and dragged her over to his bed. He picked her up and sat her on his lap. A huge smile spread across her face and a very mischevious one crossed his. Then, he grabbed the girl, threw her on the bed gently, and started tickling her. The small child's giggles were enough to make anyone laugh but all Hermoine could do was stare. Questions were racing through her mind. Who is this child? Why is she here? I hope she isn't....

"'Moine....are you OK?" It was Ron....apparently the tickling session had been over for a while and she had just been staring.

She tried to regain her composure. She cleared her throat and asked, " Ron......who is your little friend?" Her voice quavered. She wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the answer.

He noticed her voice. He could tell she was in shock...and he couldn't blame her. This wasn't exactly how he'd planned on telling her. But, as fate would have it, he didnt really have a choice. "Hermoine.....this is Nadia Rose. But we usually just call her Nadie."

"Oh, I see," She got up, walked over to the little girl, and crouched down. "Hi Nadie." She looked up at Ron. "Is she a....a cousin of yours?"

"No...she actually is my..." Merlin, please don't say daughter, please don't say daughter "...niece." Oh...that makes her Fred's...or George's...or..... Hermoine gasped.

"She's Ginny's...isn't she?" Ron nodded. "Ginny's and...." Who? Who would she do this with? Who was she.....Oh! It all makes sense now...I knew those eyes looked familiar. "Ginny's and Harry's!" This was all too much for poor Hermoine. She sat on the floor and rested her back against the bed. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with her fingertips.

Ron figured some "adult talk" would be needed shortly so he politely told Nadia to go downstairs. She happily skipped through the door and Ron closed it behind her. He walked over and sat down next to Hermoine on the floor. He slowly put his arm around, hoping it would comfort her a bit.

She felt his arm go around her but she didn't really care. She just wanted more details. "How did this happen?"

"Well..." he began again, " you see, after you left us, Harry was really down about it." A cringe of guilt swept through Hermoine's body. "He started hanging around with Ginny more. It was kind of weird always having my sister with us, but I got used to it. Anyways, her crush on him developed again. And I seemed to sense he fancied her too. Then one day, I see them kissing in a hallway. Let's just say I was not please with that. But after talking to Harry, I figured it would be OK. I mean, he was my best friend. I wanted him to be happy. Plus, I figured I could trust him. Boy was that stupid! Because in our last year, I find out that those two had been snogging!!" He was practically yelling now. Hermoine flinched at his sudden change of volume. "So I hunted down that bastard and told him off. I told him to stay away from my sister and the rest of my family and that I never wanted to see him again. And that's the last time I talked to him." Ron paused and took a deep breathe, obviously trying to calm himself down.

"So, over the summer we found out that Ginny's pregnant. Of course, by now, Harry is conviently away somewhere, only Merlin knows where, and my poor sister is stuck to care for his mistake all by herself! If I ever see him again I'll hit him with an Unforgivible."

Hermoine now had tears in her eyes. This whole ordeal was caused by her. Her ignorance and not being able to deal with a stupid problem. But poor Ron......Oh Ron! She took his hand in her own and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry. But did anyone ever tell Harry about it? Maybe he would have shown up if he knew."

Ron dropped his head. "No...I wouldn't let Ginny. He's a jerk. Why should we tell him? Nadie deserves a better father than that. Someone who I can trust!"

OK, now Hermoine had been a good friend by letting him curse and yell and she had not interruptted once. He needed to vent but she had had enough. It does take two people to make a baby! "Ron, how do you know Harry wouldn't be sorry? How do you know he wouldn't want to help raise Nadia, support her and Ginny? You need to give him a chance. Talk to him. Obviously Ginny's ready to forgive, why aren't you?"

He pulled away from her, stood up, and walked over to the desk. He slammed his fist down on it with a BOOM. Hermoine jumped. "Dammit Hermoine.......why do you always have to be right?" He had a smile playing on his lips. She relaxed and smiled but his face fell. "But I was such a jerk to him, he probably won't even want to talk to me." He shook his head. "No, Hermoine, I just can't go with you. I don't know if I'm ready to face him yet."

She understood. She really did. But she really needed Ron to go with her and help Harry. She just knew Harry would be thrilled to see Ron after all these years. And she figured Ron needed to see Harry. He needed to talk to Harry, face to face, and sort out their problems. She wasn't going to force Ron....but she was not going alone.
