Blaime on the school the fact that you don't get to read my story very often (hehe) Anyways I realized many of you are learning spanish! Oh! I'm so proud!
Sermione: Hi ya! What I wrote about Debbie is this: Debbie! How are you? I dedicate you this chapter, I dedicate this to the best friend in the whole world! (Envy me… lol) I really miss you, crazy! Well, is it so obvious that I hate Parvati? Hehe *blushes * That what I wrote her. The crazy thing is because in spanish, we sometimes say crazy, as loca, but in a good way, you know.. how can I explain… it's like, we, you crazy! How are you doing, crazy? Somethings like that, but it's not that I call her crazy… I hope you understood! Lol. Anyways, what you translated was really good, except for one sentence, you translated it really good. If you want I can put you sentences and you translate them in the review, or you can e-mail me and you write me in spanish! As you wish. My e-mail (just in case!) is popular113@hotmail.com
shibbydragongirl: Helloooo!!! I liked the words you wrote to me in spanish! You can try and write a review in spanish if you like! That would be nice! =) I laughed out loud with this thing you wrote: i'm not even gonna try to give you a review in spanish because i would probably end up telling you that you have a pink poodle and it wears a tutu or something. Hahhahahaha, really good =) I hope you like this chapter as well! And don't be shy with your spanish!
ronniekins8 : Update your fic soon! I want to know what happens! And let me know when you do!
sun-nature-goddess: Oh, I'm sorry you didn't like the songfic chapters, most of people seam to like them, but never mind =) I'm glad you like my story… and well, my english, yeah, my problem is that I have silly mistakes, hehe. It's just that I learn so many languages that sometimes you get all confused! Anyways, sorry and I hope you like this chapter!
Lauren: Hola Lauren! Como estas? Soy de America tambien! De latinoamerica! De Argentina, especificamente hablando =) Your spanish attempt (as you called it) was really good! You didn't even have one mistake! I'm glad you started taking it this year, and I hope you really enjoy it, because spanish is a nice language (well, what can I say, it's my language! :) Keep on writing in spanish is "segui escribiendo" novel is "novela" story is "historia" ehrm… what else.. well, you can ask me if you want, and don't worry about the tildes and stuff, I barely use them when I'm writing e-mails and stuff, so don't worry! If you like, write me an e-mail and you can practice your spanish with me, so don't be shy! My e-mail adress is up, in the answer to Sermione. Kissex!

I think that's all for today! I hope you like this new chapter! And then again, I'm sorry if there's any grammar mistakes (I should change any for MANY, hehehe) but as you know, english is not my first language. So… well, I hope you like this chapter! And don't forget to review! You make me happy when you do!

"I'm pregnant" Hermione repeated for the fifth time in 3 minutes. She had been watching the sign until it disapeared in the air, but that still didn't solve Hermione's problems, doubts, shocks and most of all fears. What am I gonna do now? She asked herself. A baby… I can't have a baby! Not now… not now… And Ron… what am I gonna do about Ron? Oh gosh…
Hermione started crying loudly. What was she going to do? She couldn't go to Ron and tell him he was going to be a father! She just couldn't! And besides… she didn't want Ron to be with her only because of the baby… that was fake love, and she preffered to do it alone, instead of hurting her future daughter or son.
But she had to tell him… he was the father after all. But Hermione couldn't do it. She just couldn't. All her life she had been the first one to solve the other's problems, doubts, fears and now… now she couldn't think of an answer to her big problem. The only thing that Hermione knew, was that she was going to have her baby. All her life she had been against abortion, and now she wasn't going to betray her beliefes. No. She was going to have it. No mattter what. But a huge doubt filled Hermione's mind… what about Ron?
* * * * * * * * *
Harry Potter was preparing himself to start the Quidditch Practice. He already had his blue robes on, and his new broom was on a chair, next to him. But Harry Potter wasn't thinking about the practice, no. He was thinking of somebody else. Well, two somebody else. Ron and Hermione. He couldn't forget Hermione's face when she told him they have broken up. This was just to big and to sad for Harry to forget. Nothing is ever going to be the same, Harry thought and felt like crying. But no. This was a time of change, and he was willing to change as much as needed to help both of his friends. He suddenly rememberd a part of one song he liked really much. The show must go on. Yes, the show was going to keep on going, just like his friends, and he was going to help them.
* * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile, Ron was talking with his Quidditch coach. They were both lookin frustrated.
"So you basically say you don't want to keep on playing with us?" the coach seamed upset.
Ron nodded sadly "I'm sorry sir, but… I think I would love to try in the Australia team, they made me a good offer, and I just can't refuse it… besides you have a good chasers team. You don't need me.. and… I just can't live in here anymore… I want to go to another place. And this offer is taking me to Australia. I just can't refuse it"
His coach took a deep deep breath, closed his eyes, he then lit with his wand a magic cigarrete. Ron was about to tell him please not to smoke, because the smoke bothered him, but the coach looked at him again,seriously.
"What you are telling me, Ron, is a really shocking thing. And even more shocking that you accepted it. I thought you were fine here?"
Ron nodded. "Yes, but I need an air change. I want to get to know other places, and this is the best opportunity I ever got to move away from here"
"You told me you already talked with Jack Simmons, right?"
"Yes, and we agreed that at the very first day that I arrive to Australia, I would sign the contract, for year and a half, and then see if I like it, he's going to hire me for 3 or 4 more years if not… then, I'll see what I'll do"
"Oh…" the coach said. "Son, I see you made your decission, and I can't make you take it back. If you want to leave, then there's nothing that binds you here. You are a good chaser, a really good one. And if your decision is to leave-no matter what your real reasons are- for your own good, then it's your turn to leave. I can't bind you here forever… and your contract finishes next week, so, if you think you've made the right choice then go. Live your life and enjoy. You have your reasons to go, as I have my reasons to not let you go, to beg you to stay here. But I know you. You are not going to change your mind, so I guess we both will have to deal with this… this change"
Ron looked at his coach, surprised. He looked so sad.. .and still, what he had told him… he thought for a moment if he was making the right decision. Yes. He thought firmly. I can't stay here. I won't stay here. A new life is waiting for me. I don't belong here anymore. Yes. I'm doing the right thing.
"So, son" the coach said standing up and shaking his hand with Ron's "I guess this is it. I don't like to say goodbye to you, but I have to. The show must go on. I just wish you the best of luck, and remember, if Jack Simmons makes something bad to you, don't you doubt to owl me. We will we waiting for you, our team is always going to have a place for you"
Ron smiled. He felt like crying. This is it. The end of an era. Everything was going to start allover again now. New team, new place.. new life.
"I just have one more thing to tell you, Ron. Well, not to tell you, to ask you"
"What is it?"
"After I tell the rest of the team, I would love to do a goodbye training sesion, just like if anything of this had happened. Is that okay with you?"
Ron thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. It's ok"
His coach smiled. "Okay then, go. I will announce the rest of the team, and I will be waiting for you tomorrow at ten o'clock here, for… our last training sesion"
Ron nodded smiling lightly and then walked to the door, he opened it when the coach called him. Ron turned around and saw that he was sad. But still he smiled at him and said "Good Luck, son, you are going to need it"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Ron was on the locker rooms, packing his last things, when suddenly a familiar voice said behind him.
"So it's true then… you are going to Australia?"
Ron turned around, and he saw his best friend standing there. He had his broom on his hand, and looked sad. Ron nodded. It was the first time he saw Harry since the party, and he wondered if his friend already knew about Hermione and him.
"Why, Ron?" Harry asked. "Is it because of what happened with Hermione?"
He knew.
Harry knew.
"Partly" Ron said, he then asked "How do you know?"
"She told me" Harry answered coming closer to his friend "Ron… you don't have to leave…"
"Yes, Harry, I have to" Ron looked at the floor, and then back at his best friend "You haven't seen Hermione's face… gosh, I feel so dirty! I cheated on her!"
It was the first time he said that out loud and now Ron felt really bad. He sat on the floor, next to his locker. Harry sat next to him.
"What happened?"
"I don't know…" Ron started "She left, she needed to go to the office, and well, I stayed there at the party. Do you remember that Parvati and I have been talking on a table? Well… we drank too much, and then I remember something about her throwing me to the pool… me wanting to change clothes and then… you know"
Ron turned red.
Harry looke at him. "Gosh Ron…"
Harry was speachless.
"But Ron…" Harry said after a few minutes of silence "If you tell her… that you got drunk…"
"No, Harry, it's useless" Ron said shacking his head. "Hermione will not understand… besides, I should have went home at the same time you left… but no. I wanted to stay there. Don't ask me why. Maybe it was only to help her clean everything… or maybe… I just don't know why I stayed there. What matter is, I stayed there, and I slept with Parvati"
"Ron…" Harry put his arm around the back of his friend "But you have to explain her that… that you got drunk… maybe, maybe there's still a chance…"
Ron shook his head once again. "No, Harry. She's made her decission, and I made mine. I'm leaving. There's no point on staying here"
"Ron, you can't just run away from your problems!"
"I'm not running away, I'm trying to forget them. Harry, this is over, if I can deal with that, then you can also do it"
"I don't think that running away from your problems is a way of dealing with this situation" said Harry sharply. Ron said nothing.
They both stayed quiet for a few minutes, looking at nowhere speciall. Then Harry looked at Ron once again.
"I see you… you are not going to change your mind"
Ron shook his head
Harry bit his lower lip. "I never thought this could have happened… you… moving away from the UK, from your family… your friends… I… I never thought this was possible, and still.. it's happening. Ron you are like a brother to me. You were my best friend in the whole world. You are my best friend, we have been best friends since our first year at Hogwarts… you…you have everything here. But I see you've made your decission. I don't understand it, but I respect it. You have your reassons, as I have my reassons to tell you not to leave…"
"You sound much like our coach" Ron said smiling. Harry continued.
"Ron, this is a serious matter. I don't want you to leave. I don't understand you, but if you made your decission, then… there's nothing I can do about it…" Harry had tears in his eyes. Ron too. "We are going to miss you, pal. I am going to miss you…"
Ron couldn't take it anymore. He had to hug his best friend. They hugged tightly, and as they did this, they both remembered everything they had lived togheter and that made them both be sadder. They both started sobbing.
"You are going to owl, right Ron?"
"Obviously" Ron said, and then looked at Harry "If not, I don't know what kind of things you are going to do with my little sister…" Harry laughed. "You better take care of her. I mean, I know she has like, thousends of other brothers, but I am the one who loves her the most. And if you ever hurt her…"
"Believe me" Harry said "I better hurt myself than her"
Ron smiled. "I don't think I should ask this…" his ears turned red "But, do you love her?"
It was Harry's time to blush, he looked at the floor embarassed, and then back at his best friend. "Yes, Ron, I do love her"
Ron smiled but said nothing. He then laid his back on the wall, just like Harry, and they started talking about everything they have ever done at Hogwarts. They talked and laughed for hours, just like they used to do when they were at school. Just, enjoying themselves.
