Chapter Thirty-one: Parcels and Stuff
Ron stared in shock at all the parcels that were sitting in front of him.
Harry was looking at the parcels that were in front of him, mildly surprised.
"Did I do something wrong in order to get this?" Hermione asked, remembering the last time she had gotten this many letters in the mail.
"Err…not sure." Ron said. He picked up the first letter and shook it. "This is heavy." He said. He opened it, and poured out the contents. His eyes opened in shock. "Are these galleons?" He asked.
"Are you serious?" Harry asked, looking at the galleons that were sitting on the table in front of Ron. He forgot the parcel that was sitting in front of him. "What's the letter say?" He asked.
Ron quickly pulled out the letter and read it out loud to Harry and Hermione.
Dear Ron Weasley,Having read the news article about you and the three other youngsters, I have sent money for you. I know what it's like having a child in school, and right out of school, and it isn't cheap, or easy. Hopefully these meager galleons will help you out in clothes and other things you'll need to raise a child.
Signed,
A knowing Mother
Hermione was near tears reading a letter she picked up. "Listen to this." Hermione said, sniffling.
Hermione Granger,
I wish you luck with raising this child. In storage at Gringotts bank are a child's crib, changing table, and mobile. Both my husband and I agree that you are a deserving father to have this, since you have accomplished so much, in such a short period of time.
I would appreciate it if you took these things. I can't bear to throw them away, yet I can't bear to keep them. My child just passed away a few weeks ago, and I hope that nothing of harm happens to your baby. You deserve all the luck in the world.
Love,
Brenda and Steve Smith
"I can't believe they did this!" Hermione said, wiping her eyes. "I can't accept it. What if they decided to have other children?"
Ron and Harry exchanged glances. They didn't know what to say.
"This makes me want to cry!" Hermione exclaimed, gently setting aside that letter and picking up another.
For the next thirty minutes, the three of them read the letters, and collected the gifts they got in return. When they were finished, breakfast was forgotten, and Ginny was watching this with mild interest.
Hermione picked up all the letters, except the one, and bound them together. "I have to write Brenda and Steve back."
Hermione had tears in her eyes, reading and hearing the letters she and Ron and Harry got. "I don't think crying in the Great Hall, in front of everyone is a good idea." She said, wiping her eyes. She took a deep breath, and her tears began to vanish.
"I don't think I've seen this much money in my whole life." Ron said. "Except for that time I saw Harry's vault at Gringotts."
"Well, you should put it away." Ginny said, smiling at her brother. She had found the majority of this humorous. "So when you do have the baby, you can get it clothes and stuff. And I'm assuming you and Hermione are going to live together to take care of the babies jointly."
Ron and Hermione exchanged glances. "I guess…" Hermione said, not giving it much thought. "I haven't thought about it much."
"Do we have a place to stay?" Ron asked.
"Yeah." Hermione said. "My parents bought a house." She said, pausing. "They gave it to me before they died." Again she stopped. The tears were coming to her eyes again. "We can buy furniture and stuff with the coupons they gave me." Hermione wiped at her eyes.
This time, Ron and Harry exchanged glances. They didn't know what to do. "Hermione, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring anything up to make you upset." Ron said.
Hermione shook her head. She gathered up her things. "It's okay, I'm fine." She paused a moment, as more tears filled up her eyes. "Excuse me." She said, getting up. She waddled out of the Great Hall.
"Sometimes things get too emotional." Ginny said worriedly. "I'm going to go with her. I'll see you later." Ginny got out of her seat and followed Hermione, catching up with her quickly.
"I honestly didn't mean to make her cry." Ron said, running a hand through his hair. "I feel bad now."
"It wasn't you who made her cry." Harry said, swallowing the rest of his pumpkin juice. "It was thoughts she was having, don't worry about it."
"You honestly think that works?" Ron asked. "I always worry about her…" Ron paused. "I just said that out loud didn't I?"
"Yep, but don't worry. I'm the only one who heard." Harry said, patting him on the back. "Let's get ready for classes."
"I am ready."
"Well…then let's go to classes. What's our first class today?" Harry asked. Ron thought about it a moment.
"I think we have…Divination." Ron said. "Yeah, and then Hagrid's class…" Ron said. "Then we can ask Hermione what we have after that."
-----
Harry and Ron walked alongside each other as they went to Care of Magical Creatures. They could see Hermione just getting to the class, so they were in no hurry to get there.
When they finally reached Hermione, Hagrid still hadn't started the class.
"You okay Hermione?" Ron asked.
Hermione looked at them and smiled. "I'm super! Ginny is a wonderful person to talk to."
"I know that." Harry and Ron chorused. The two of them looked at each other and then laughed.
"Anyway, I hope we aren't doing anything really hard in this class." Hermione said. "I'm in the mood to feed flobberworms lettuce. Or gathering woodlice or something."
"I doubt we'll ever do anything that simple again." Harry said.
"Oh well, we can dream, can't we?" Hermione asked.
"You can." Ron said. "I'll dream when I go to sleep."

"Is Hermione still in the Library?" Harry asked.
"She hasn't left it, if that's what you mean." Neville said, looking up from his homework to look at Harry.
"She didn't eat lunch, and it's almost time for dinner." Ron said. "She's going to stress herself out or something."
"Then go get her." Dean said. "I'm sure she won't curse you into oblivion."
"It's not that easy." Ron said, sitting down. "She's trying to catch up with her N.E.W.T.'s studies, and that's going to take forever and a day. She's taking notes, reading, and copying sentences. She's going to be forever."
"N.E.W.T.'s are like four months away." Neville said. "That is a long time. She's studying now?"
"Usually she starts from the beginning of the school year, but with everything that's been going on, she's forgotten, until just recently." Harry said. "Which is really weird. But we have to either force her out of the Library, or sneak her food, and both of those ideas are bad."
"We know." Seamus and Dean said.
"Madame Pince catches food in her Library, and she'll kick you out faster than you can say text book." Seamus said. "Or if you get caught snogging or anything other than reading…"
"I'm sure they're not going to snog Hermione when they get there." Neville pointed out.
"But prying Hermione from her books, is like sedating a dragon." Harry said. "Nearly impossible."
"Charlie sedates dragons all the time." Ron said. "It's like Michelle sedating a dragon."
Everyone looked at Ron. Ron looked at them back. "What? I'm just stating the truth."
"Charlie, whom I am assuming is your brother, is one of the few who sedates dragons. We were talking hypothetically speaking." Seamus said. "Besides, where'd that analogy come from?"
"My head."Ron said.
"Let's go get Hermione."Harry said, getting up. "Because I'm getting hungry, and by the time we get her out of there, dinner will be done."

BB/N: Even though this story is on Hiatus, I felt the need to update at least one more time, before I go back to my debating. I finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on Sunday, at 1:38 in the morning. I am debating finishing this story or not, because, well...some of you know why...
I do have up to chapter 34 finished,
