Alright.. has anyone of you seen the TRAILER OF HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISIONER OF AZKABAN? Well, I did (I have it on my computer) and it seams really interesting to me. I mean, it's my favorite book and I hope they don't smash it just like they did with the other two movies… I thought that the two former movies were good but not great. So many things were changed that… *sighs* But it looks really real… the dementor's hand… and LUPIN! Aaaah! I love him! He's sooo cute! Although I can't say much of Daniel Thwelis, I know nothing of his career except that he did a movie that was filmed in Argentina (aaaaaw!) but…:P Although, I have to tell you, I would rather have another person for Lupin, he seams good to me… I don't wanna give much away though, I might be mistaken. The same with Sirius… I have seen picture of him, and I think he could be better… but I can be wrong! What do you think? I think that Michael Gambon will make a good Dumbledore! He looks like Richard Harris but… I don't know, I think he won the part of Dumbledore. All of these are my speculations of the trailer! Did you feel the same as I did..?

Tell me what you think!

*~*~*~*

Those words had felt like a glass of Arctic Water thrown over directly at him. Trying to remember how he had felt, Ron realised that it was something completely strange and that he had never felt like this before. At first he felt… shocked. How couldn't he have felt like that? He had a daughter and nobody had even dared to tell him! Thinking hard about it, Ron realised he had been betrayed and not only by Hermione, but also by the rest of his family. Why had nobody told him? Not even his mother?

He sat on a small hill in the middle of a park and put his head in his hands. How could this be possible? When had they both turned into people that had to hide something as big as this?

*~*

"She's what?"

Ron felt his heart stop as Hermione told him who was the father of the little child he had just held in his arms.

Hermione got up and walked around the room, trying to avoid Ron's eyes.

"Look, Ron… There are something things that need to be explained…,"

"Damn right they need to be!" He got up angrily and crossed his arms over his chest. He gave Hermione a dirty look and then said, coldly, "Explain."

"Look, Ron… please don't act like this…,"

"How do you want me to act?" He snapped angrily. "Do you want me to be all happy and cheerful because I find out NOW that I have a daughter? Don't be stupid Hermione! I thought you were smarter than that."

"Don't call me stupid, Ron. You have no idea what I've been through."

"YOU have no idea of what I've been through!" He snapped angrily.

"Oh yeah?" She was getting angry now. How was this possible? They were fighting once again about something that they both were supposed to have left in the past… although Hermione wasn't sure of that right now. Neither was Ron. "Well, at least you weren't the one that has been cheated on!"

"Look, you didn't let me explain…!"

"How do you want me to let you explain something… something like THAT!" She stopped walking and faced him. "Sincerely Ron, for once stop thinking about you!"

"Thinking about me? What are you talking about? Am I being egocentric because I want you to explain me why I don't know anything about MY daughter? I think I deserve an explanation"

"You want your explanation? Here's your explanation. I was dating with a man I loved, but at a party he slept with someone else. We broke up and he went away, leaving me pregnant with his child. Nine months later she was born and then, eight months later the father returns and yells for the explanation. That's all you need to know."

"You know that that's not what I'm talking about, Hermione," he was unusually cold.

"Then what is it, Ron?" she said, fighting back tears. "You want me to tell you why I took this decision? Fine, here it is… How would you feel carrying the child of the man you loved? Happy? Right, all of us would feel happy, but not me. I felt cheated. You had cheated on me and now I was carrying your child! Did you want me to go and tell you this when I couldn't even look at you straight in the face? How would you feel knowing that your life is going to change and because of a stupid woman you are not going to be able to share it with the person you love? How would you feel? I did what I though was right. I didn't want you to be with me only because of the baby. How did you want me to tell you when I couldn't even listen to your name without feeling totally disappointed and angry?"

"If you didn't do this for me, then at least you could have done it for the baby. She doesn't deserve to be like this! She's not at fault for what I did. If there's someone who should pay for this it's me. Not Allyson."

"You should have thought about that when you slept with Parvati," she snapped coldly.

"C'mon Hermione, don't bring that up. This is totally different! This is about YOU hiding something as big as this from ME. That's something I never thought you'll do."

"I never thought that either, but isn't it funny how people react to such betrayals?"

Ron came slowly to her with a dangerous look. He stopped in front of her and looked directly in her amber eyes.

"Do you want to tell you how I reacted? Fine, here it is. For the first year I used to cry myself to sleep, cursing each person of that party, cursing myself for drinking so much and cursing everyone, hoping that torturing myself over and over again things would be the same, that time would go back and change my mistake. But I learned that it wouldn't happen that way. I learned that there are some mistakes that are bad enough to torture a man for the rest of his life and I learnt it in the worst possible way. I used to think about you all the time, thinking what were you doing while I used to moan and think over and over again of our times together, wondering if you were doing the same thing. You don't know what is to still love someone who hates you because of your mistakes and is so angry that they don't even want to see your face, not even in pictures. So don't talk about suffering Hermione, because you have no idea what I've been through."

Hermione couldn't believe her ears. Was this all true? Did he still love her? How…?

"Ron… please… I…"

"Look, Hermione. I can't look at your face right now… I… I have to go."

He opened the door and walked downstairs. Ron opened the front door and walked away.

"Ron… don't go," she said chasing him downstairs. When he closed the door Hermione stopped and looked sadly at the door.

'I love you too,' she said in an almost inaudible voice.

A loud cry from upstairs brought her back to reality. She turned around and ran upstairs.

*~*~*~*

If someone had asked any of the people present at the Weasley's what they thought had happened, they all would have given a different interpretation from the fight they had just heard coming from upstairs. They all had different interpretations of the recent events, but one thing was for certain: Ron had found out about Allyson and it didn't look like everything had gone fine.

Then they heard Ron walk out and slam the door behind him; seconds later they heard Ally crying from upstairs and Hermione running to calm her down. And, when they finally were about to talk, they heard Hermione going back downstairs, she didn't even dared to tell them goodbye, she just walked out slowly, still trying to calm Ally down.

Harry was still trying to figure out what to say, when Ginny turned to him and told him very low, so only he could hear her.

"Perhaps you should talk to Ron… I'll talk to Hermione." Harry nodded.

"Yes… but I don't think we should do that now."  Ginny sighed.

"You're right."

*~*~*~*

The first thing Harry did that morning was to try to trace Ron down. He looked for him at the Burrow, in Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, even Hogwarts, but Ron was nowhere to be found. Harry sighed defeated, thinking that perhaps Ron had gone back to Australia.

When had they come to a point where they all just ran away from their problems? Harry thought walking in Hogsmeade, with his head down and his hands in his pockets, looking more defeated than ever. All of their lives the problems had looked for them, and somehow they had managed to solve them all without escaping their destiny. And just like that, they had formed themselves… Then why were they running away now?

He could understand the fact that Ron was angry, sure, who wouldn't be if you just found out that you had a daughter? But things were not supposed to be coming out like this; it was as if an old witch had cursed them to have bad luck… or at least Ron and Hermione. On a desperate thought, he started to think that perhaps it was fate that gave them such lousy luck. Where they supposed to be like this?

No, he wasn't supposed to think like that, he was supposed to search for Ron and try to talk to him. Wondering where the hell he was, Harry walked sadly down the streets of Hogsmeade. He couldn't think of another place where Ron could be now; he wasn't lost, was he?

Looking at the hills of Hogsmeade, he sighed. So many things had happened there. One could think of them as just some silly things, but the many secrets they held was something that Harry couldn't even stop thinking of it. The cave where Sirius used to hide with Buckbeak, the place where he and Ron used to play Quidditch, the Shrieking Shack where…Wait a minute! The Shrieking Shack! How could he have been so stupid? Running in the direction of the shack as fast as he could, Harry realised that he had been really stupid if he hadn't thought about it before. Why not? So many things have happened in that place and now, all of the sudden, he forgot about it.

Minutes later he arrived out of breath to the front door of the house. He sighed, and bent down to get some air. He had run a lot, after all.

He then took a deep breath and, determined, tried to open the front door.  It didn't work. Sure, it was locked. People were still afraid of the house, even though no sounds had been heard for years now. He sighed and then went to the back of the house, trying to find another door to enter.  No, they were all locked. Harry started darting around the house trying to find a way in, but there was none in sight. And then, it hit him! Sometimes, and even more in situations like this one, he usually forgot about the fact that he was a powerful wizard and that he had a wand. With a correct spell, he could open the door of the house without any noise.

Secure of himself, he took out his wand and said the right spell to open the door. Normally, it would open up, but apparently, this one was especially well locked. Perhaps it was so that people couldn't enter the house, just in case. After all, Remus used to be in this house when he transformed, and it was better if no one entered on it, especially on a full moon. Although, werewolf or not, Harry didn't think that anyone would want to enter in the house.

Trying to open the back door, Harry failed once again. Ah, who cares? He thought. Nobody lived there, so why would there be any complaints later? He grabbed the biggest stone he could find on the floor and  threw it with all the strength he had, breaking a window. Carefully with his hands he took the little pieces of glass that were still in the wood and around off. Determined, he passed a leg through hole there was now, but then he couldn't move any further! Mainly because he heard someone coming in his direction (from inside the house) and the other  because he simply couldn't move. His leg was glued to the wood! Now this, Harry thought frustrated as he tried to take off the wood. Sure, if the door had a lot of security… then why not the windows? He had been so stupid!

He became very nervous when the steps came closer and closer. The room was extremely dark and he could barely see anything, even though it was still day. He took out his wand and then pointed it inside the house.

"Lumos!"

A small light came from the point of his wand, just in time to light the face of the person in front of him.

"Ron!" Harry sighed relieved. He had been nervous that it was perhaps another person, but seeing the well known face of his best friend made him breathe relieved. Ron didn't answer.

"Care to help me, please? It's not like I'm comfortable."

Ron said nothing, he just came closer to Harry and helped him unglue his leg from the window. It took them a while, but when they finally managed to Harry fell on the grass. Ron then went out of the house through the window and while Harry rubbed his numb leg, his friend sat next to him.

"How did you manage to get inside?" Harry asked frowning. Ron's face formed a small smile when he answered. "Well… I entered through the fireplace."

"The FIREPLACE?" Ron nodded.

"Yeah, it's really big and it doesn't have as big a protection as the rest of the house… Not many people have dared to come close to the house, and less people would try to enter it.  So I guessed that it didn't have many barriers… indeed, it didn't."

They were in silence for a few minutes.

"How are you doing?" Harry asked his friend, looking directly at his face. Ron bit his lower lip.

"You knew, right?"

Harry nodded slowly. Another uncomfortable silence filled the air.

"How are you doing?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why didn't I tell you WHAT?"

"About Hermione, about Allyson, about everything that was going on here."

"I…" Harry didn't know what to say.

"I would have come back here, you know?" Ron said after some seconds, slowly, as he picked up a stone and started to play with it in his hands.

"Ron…"

"I feel so betrayed."

Harry didn't know what else to say so he just let Ron continue with his monologue, but he didn't continue.

"Why didn't you tell me, Harry?"

Harry thought for a moment and then answered his friend's question.

"Well… Ron, there were so many things happening… I didn't even know what was happening, nor did anyone… All of the sudden you moved to Australia, we barely got to talk to each other and when I found out about Hermione… Look, everything was really confusing, you know?"

"Confusing or not, I should have known."

"Ron you have to understand that Hermione's feelings were in the middle as well and-"

"What about MY feelings?" Ron emphasised the word 'my' with an angry tone.

"W-what?"

"Yes, Harry, what about MY feelings? Don't you think that I felt bad already to move out of the country... and the perhaps you could have told me about the fact that I was going to become a father?"

Harry was speechless; he babbles seemed incoherent when he listened to Ron. He continued.

"Lately, everybody seems to be willing to hide everything from me, you know? And there are some things that, no matter what, should NOT be hidden… like this for example!" Ron said, frustrated.

"Ron, you have no idea…" but he didn't finish, for his friend cut him off again.

"NO idea of what, Harry? So you are going to be on her side, right?"

"Whose side?"

"Hermione's side!"

"Hermione's side?"

"Yes, exactly, Hermione's side!"

"What the HELL are you talking about, Ron?"

"About the fact that you also betrayed me, Harry. Of all people, I thought that you perhaps were the only one that always cared enough for me to tell me the truth and now I find out all this and the fact that even you KNEW and you didn't have the courtesy to tell me!"

"Look, Ron, I'm on NO ONE'S SIDE-"

"You have a very curious way of showing that," he snapped, angrily, as he got up.

"Look, Ron, will you let me explain…?"

"NO, Harry," he turned around and walked away. A few seconds later, he turned around.

"Harry, for once I want to be the one that's being heard, not the one who only listens what everybody has to say." Then he turned around and walked away, leaving Harry alone in the field.
