Chapter 19: Time After Time

Harry POV

"What?" Hermione and I asked at the same time.

"He hates me! I told him the news that we were going to have a baby. Then he, well he got all quiet and I heard him whisper 'This isn't happening to me.' He didn't even look at me as he walked back up to the castle. I ran up to him and begged him to say something to me. He ignored me and just went up to him room." Lavendar said with tears coming down her face.

I couldn't say anything. How could Ron be so stupid to the mother of his child? I didn't say another thing as I ran out of the common room and found myself taking a different path, up to the Gryffindor tower. "Shooting Star." I almost shouted to the fat lady.

"Mr. Potter, what an unexpected surprise. Shouldn't you be down in your own common room?" she asked.

"Open the bloody door!" I shouted.

"Yes, very well." With a click the door opened and I ignored the people in the common room looking at me as I made my way up the boys' dormitories, all the way up to the 7th years. I opened the door and saw Neville lying in his bed with a book and Ron sitting on the end of his.

"Harry!" Neville said with a surprised look on his face.

"Ron, are you okay mate?" I asked him. "And hello Neville."

"Yeah, I think I am." Ron barely responded.

"Good." I smacked him on the back of his head.

"Hey! What was that for?" Ron asked getting on his feet.

"For Lavender, you insulted her. She is the girl who is going to give birth to your child and you ignored her like she was a piece of trash. You don't do that to women, it is cold-hearted and cruel." I yelled at him.

"You don't understand Harry, I can't be a father yet, not now." Ron tried to explain.

"Don't explain it to me, explain it to your girlfriend who is down in mine and Hermione's dormitory crying her heart out." I yelled at him.

"Harry listen to me! What would you do if Hermione suddenly said, I'm pregnant?" Ron asked me.

"I would be the happiest person in the entire world that I am so lucky to be having a child with the woman of my dreams." I snapped back. "Look I know you love Lavender but you not showing it to her. She loves you more than anything, and the one thing she wants right now is the father of her unborn child to be there for her instead of him running back off to him room."

"Lavender's pregnant?" Neville spoke up.

"I just can't! Don't you see, were too young. This should be happening to me when we both decided to get married, when I have a decent career and we both decide this together. It wasn't suppose to turn out this way!" Ron was now shouting.

"No! Because this is just a kid. Not like when my girl was taken from me and I had to go save her. That's what she said when she had to bring my body back to Hogwarts. This isn't a life or death situation Ronald. This is being there for your son or daughter when he or she is being born!"

"Harry I can't do this, not now." Ron said laying back down on his bed. He turned and faced the wall.

"This isn't just another Quidditch match you think you can skip, this is a girl you love deeply and you hurt her. I would expect more from you."


Hermione POV

A month passed where Ron wouldn't speak to Lavender and then another. Soon enough the end of the year was coming upon us and that meant the Last Dance was coming up soon. Lavender made it clear that she still wanted to go. She didn't want Ron to ruin some of the last memories for Hogwarts.

The Saturday before the dance on Friday, Lavender and I found ourselves in the same store where I always bought my gowns. Lavender had picked out a pretty brown dress that was long sleeved and was long and flowing and it hid up the baby fat she was already gaining up.

I once again found myself going through all the dresses in the store until I could find the perfect one. It was black and had the same design as the one I wore to the Winter Ball but instead it didn't just tie around my neck, it was more of a collar. On the back of the collar were it hooked what a chain made up of small diamonds in a line that connected to the bottom of the backing of the dress. It was looser than my other on and didn't have the original V-neck cut.

Lavender and I then made our way to Witch's Touch. Lavender insisted that she didn't need any more jewelry in her collection and just made her way to the shoe store down the street. I quickly found black gloves that matched the shade of the dress that went up past my elbows. I then bought a matching jewelry set. The necklace was a diamond in a heart cut on a silver chain. The heart cut diamonds was smaller on the earrings and hung down on a thing silver chain.

I met Lavender in the shoe store where she had found the perfect shoes for her and I. They were black high heels that wrapped around my ankle and the top of my foot to keep them in place, but the heel. It was thinner than a pencil.

"Lavender, I am more worried on breaking them." I pointed out.

"No trust me, just try them on and you'll see they're pretty sturdy." Lavendar said excitedly.

I put one of the shoes on and then its pair. I stood up and then walked around with them on. I came back, thinking I could get used to this when I almost tripped.

"See, what did I tell you?"

"No, look all you have to do is walk around in them in your room, where Harry can't see you, so you can get used to them. It works all the time. I had a pair of shoes like that for the Winter Ball in my first year; I kept missing the stick thing until Parvati told me to try walking around on them. It totally works, trust me."

I did end up buying the shoes and Lavendar and I made our way to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. Harry was nowhere to be seen so Lavender and I made our way to the back of the room in a small booth.

"Stay here, I'll go get the drinks." I told her as I set down my bags. I bought two butterbeers and went back to our table to find we went alone. None other than Ron Weasley decided to show up and was standing right by Lavendar.

"Hello Ronald." I snapped at him as I handed Lavendar her drink and sat down opposite of her.

"Please Hermione, I just want to talk to Lavender." Ron said, not looking at me.

"Well go ahead, if you decided you finally want to talk go on and do it. She is right there." I hissed at him.

"Alone."

"Lavender is just going to tell me anyways." I pointed out.

"Yeah that is true." Lavender spoke up.

"Forget it then. But look Lavender, will you just go with me to the dance Friday at least?" Ron asked.

Lavender remained silent for a moment. "Yeah, I suppose."

Ron then left without another word. "Did he apologize?" I asked.

"The first words out of his mouth were, 'how are you?' Then he said that he was sorry for all the pain he caused me, and that's when you walked back over here." Lavender answered.

"Do you think he's changed?" I asked.

"I think so, because, well when he first asked me out there was this sort of sparkle in his eye and everyone tells you if you see a sparkle in your partner's eye then you two are actually meant for each other and only you and your partner can see it." Lavender explained.

"A sparkle?" I questioned to myself.

"Hermione?"

The sparkle in Harry's eye! The one I always see, the thing that I loved most about him. "Lavender, I see a sparkle in Harry's eye." I explained.

"For how long?" Lavender asked.

"Ever since we started going out. Lavender I have a confession to make, when Harry first asked me out last year, I actually didn't like him at the time. But I saw this sparkle in his eye and I found myself falling for him. I don't know why but I found myself falling for him."

"That's scary, although the first time I saw it in Ron's was the night I told him about the baby."

"Wait, but I remember the first time I saw it was when I met him on the Hogwarts Express in our first year." I admitted.

"Wow, that means you guys were made for each other since you first met. Aww! That is so sweet!" Lavender exclaimed.

"Why didn't you tell me about the sparkle before?" I asked.

"Well, when was there a time when I could have? I mean a typical conversation doesn't go 'You know I heard if you see a sparkle in someone's eye it means you are both meant for each other.'" Lavender pointed out.

"Yeah, your right." I admitted.

We both finished our drinks and headed back up to the castle. Lavendar and I parted ways as she went up to Gryffindor Tower and I headed down the Third floor. The door opened and I went straight to my room. Put all the bags away in my closet, as I shut the door another one opened that led to the bathroom as Harry entered my room.

"Hey, I thought I heard you come in." Harry said coming towards me.

"Hi. I need to ask you something." I told him.

"What?"

"Do you see a sparkle in my eye?" I asked.

"How do you know about that? Have you been talking to Ron?" Harry asked.

"So you do?" I asked with a smile.

"Of course I do, I see it all the time, ever since our second year." Harry answered. "Why do you?"

"Yes, Lavender told me about it, and how see started to see it with Ron."

"Ron told me about it too, how it is suppose to be the that the two of us are meant for each other. How long have you seen it?"

"Ever since I met you, but then it sort of went away after my third year and when you asked me out, it came back. But why didn't you ask me out earlier?"

"I told you before, I was afraid you though of us only as friends. And I didn't know if you saw it too." Harry answered. "Anyways, enough about the sparkle thing, did you get your gorgeous dress?" I asked.

"Yes, and it is black like you requested."

"Hey, I can't help it. We have to match Miss Queen."

"Well, Mr. King, you'll never believe how came to his sense down in Hogsmeade."

"Don't tell me, I know this one. Ron."

"Yeah. How did you know?"

"He was walking in as I was walking out. I told him the only reason he should be going into the village was to be telling Lavender that he is sorry. He didn't respond, he just ran past me."

"Well, they aren't back together, yet. But they are going to the Last Dance together." I told him.

"Oh wait, I forgot something. Hermione will you go with me to the Last Dance?" Harry asked.

"Harry you don't have to ask anymore, you already know my answer."

Somehow I had a good feeling that this was going to be the best dance ever.
