Chapter 5: Back Home Again

"Gornin' Mommy." Hannah said to her mother.

"Good morning to you too sweety." Hermione Granger said to her young daughter one morning. (A/N: Hannah only says 'Gornin' cause she combined the words 'good' and 'morning' together and she's three so…)

"So,Mommy. Are we going to go to Auntie Ginny's and Uncle Harry's house today?"

"Not until we get finished at the store today,honey. Mommy has to get some supplies."

"Ok. What is the suppies for?"

"Well, Mommy has to get more quills, ink, and parchment to write to Grandma and Grandpa doesn't she?"

"Yes,Mommy. Ooo does this mean we can't go to Luna's Kreamery or The Tree Broomsticks in Hogsneade?"

"Yes, honey. Whatever you want. Besides Mommy was craving some icecream. And a stop by The Three Broom Sticks and Weasley's Wizard Weezey's in Hogsmeade wouldn't hurt. Come on, Hannah, we've got some shopping to do."

"Yay!"

"Ok, Hannah, what kind of icecream do you want?" Luna Longbottom asked.

"Hmm….I tink I want some twiple chocolate, pwease." Hannah answered.

"Ok, and what about you , Hermione?"

"I think I'll have the same."

"Ok. That'll be 4 sickles."

"Ok, thanks for the discount, Luna."

"No problem, Hermione. I know you're in a sticky situation right now."

"You're still a life saver. Say bye bye to Luna, Hannah."

"Ok, Mommy. Bye bye,Luna."

"Bye Hannah, bye Hermione."

"Bye."

Hermione and Hannah walked to the fire place in Luna's Kreamery and took the short-cut to The Three Broomsticks for some drinks when Hermione bumped into a very familiar red head.

"Oh, I am so sorry, sir." She politely said.

"Oh, no it's ok. Really, no harm done. Wait a second…Hermione?" the red head asked.

"Um, hi,Ron."she said.

"Mommy, who is this man?" Hannah asked.

"Mommy?" Ron asked looking at Hannah.

"Yes mister. This is my mommy. I don't know who my daddy is. My mommy said that he was away." She said to him.

"Really?" Ron asked only this time looking at Hermione.

" Yes, really. This is my daughter, Hannah Ginevra Granger." Hermione said strongly.

"Yeah, and I'm tree years ode." Hannah said.

"Really? Well, that's a wonderful age. And you're such a pretty little girl, much like your mother." Ron told Hannah.

"Ronald Weasley. I'd appreciate it if you'd let us order what we wanted." Hermione cut in.

"Sure, but, Hermione, she has red bushy hair. You didn't marry one of my brothers did you?" Ron asked, hiding the hurt tone in his voice.

"No, Ronald. I didn't marry anyone. Just meat me at the Burrow in a couple of minutes." She answered.

"Ok, see you then." He said quite confused.

"Oh hello, Hermione and Hannah!"Mrs.Weasley said in a high motherly voice.

"Hi, Ghanna Mowwy!" Hannah yelled entusiasitcally.

"Hi, Molly." Hermione stated.

"Oh, Hermione,dear, Ronald is back and he seems to be expecting you." Mrs. Wealsey told her.

"Ooo!Mommy!The nice Ron man is here!"Hannah screamed.

"Hermione,what is Hannah talking about?" Mrs.Weasley asked.

"Well, when Hannah and I were at The Three Broom Sticks, we ran into Ron. And I told him to meet me,us, here." Hermione answered.

"Oh, lovely dear. Here he comes." Mrs.Weasley said. "If you three would please excuse me,I'm going to finish those Christmas cookies."

"Ooo! Ghanna Mowwy! Can I come?" Hannah asked.

"Well, of course,dear." Mrs. Weasley replied.

"Yay! I'll be back Mommy. I liked seeing you again Mr. Ron."

"Hermione, did she just say Ghanna Molly?" Ron asked.

"Yes, Ron, for the past three years…." Hermione hesitated. I hope he understands. She thought. "I have been taking care of my,our daughter."

Ron looked as if he was about to faint.

"See, three weeks after you left for the U.S., I found out that I was preganant. With your daughter."

"WHAT!" Ron bellowed. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"

"Because,Ronald." Hermione tried to keep her cool. "Because I knew you would've come back and-." She was soon cut off by a raging Ron.

"SO, YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD KEEP THIS FROM ME UNTIL SHE GRADUATED FROM HOGWARTS? WHAT WERE YOU THINKNING!" He bellowed.

"I THOUGHT." Hermione let her anger get the best of her. "THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO QUIT YOUR JOB,YOUR DREAM FOR ME! I WANTED YOU TO BE HAPPY WITH YOUR JOB!" She screamed.

"WHAT! I CAME BACK SO I COULD MARRY YOU AND START A FAMILY WITH YOU! I NEEDED YOU! THAT'S WHY I CAME BACK! I QUIT AUROR TRAINING TO BE WITH YOU!" He yelled.

"WHY? RONALD WHY!" She screamed back.

"I CAME BACK BECAUSE I….." He began.

"You what, Ron?" she asked.

"I came back because I love you more than anything in the world."

"What?" she asked unbelievingly.

"I said I love you." He answered.

"I've got to go." Hermione whispered then in a ouder voice. "Hannah come with Mommy! We've got to go home, now! She yelled still looking at Ron.

"Mommy, why did we leave so early?" Hannah asked when they reached their flat in Muggle London.

"Because,darling, I got into a fight with Mr. Ron."

"Mommy, is he my real daddy?"

"Yes, honey. He is."
