'Hi,' said Ron, running to catch up with Harry.

'Bloody hell Ron, where have you been?! I've been trying to find you for the past half an hour!' replied Harry. Ron's face went redder then his hair.

'Nowhere...let's go, or we'll get into even more trouble with McGonigle...'Ron said hastily, as he attempted to change the subject. As they walked together to transfiguration, Harry tried to get out of Ron where he had been – but Ron wouldn't give in so easily.

'Look, you'll find out soon enough, okay?' Ron said to Harry, irritated. Please don't be late Hermione, or he'll question me even more.

Hermione was late to transfiguration, and like Ron had guessed, Harry questioned him even more about where she was, when he had last seen her etc. By lunchtime, they still hadn't seen Hermione anywhere, and Ron was beginning to get really worried. However, when they walked into the hall, the mystery was solved. Parvati Patil ran up to Ron and Harry, and told them that Hermione had collapsed and was now in the hospital wing.

'What?' Yelled Ron, and without any further warning, he ran as fast as could towards the hospital wing, Harry closely at his tail. By the time they got to the hospital wing, they were both out of breath.

'Where's Hermione?' Ron and Harry yelled in unison at Madam Pomfrey.

'Sssshhhh! Keep your voices down, you'll wake up all of them!' Whispered Madam Pomfrey to Ron and Harry. She tilted her head slightly to her left, indicating where Hermione was, and as they walked up to her, she sat up and smiled at both of the boys.

'Hermione! You had us so scared! What happened? Parvati-' started Ron, but Hermione cut him off.

'Hi Ron. Hi Harry!' she added, waving at Harry.

'I'm fine, don't worry about me. Harry, would you mind leaving Ron and me alone for a few minutes? I need to talk to him privately.'

'Sure.' Said Harry, and as he started to walk towards the exit, he noticed that Ron's face had gone as red as his face again. He waited. 2 minutes, then 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then when it had been nearly 20 minutes and he was going to leave, Ron came out, looking as if he had been smacked across the face. He moved his hand to indicate that he could come in now.

'Harry, I know this will come as a shock to you, but Ron, and me well, we're about to have a kid. That's why I collapsed.' Hermione said to Harry.
