"Harry…Ron," I repeated staring at my best friends as they stared at me like I was bonkers.

"Jesus you got fat," Ron said his eyebrows raised so high they disappeared into his hair. Harry turned to him with a furious glance and Ron shut his mouth.

"I did not get fat," I snapped angrily.

"Hermione what the hell is going on? One minute Snape is telling us that you're fine you still think you've been kidnapped and now you're pregnant?" Harry asked furiously. He closed his mouth as the room went silent, signifying that he said to much.

"What do you mean I THOUGHT I was still kidnapped?" I asked my voice shaking with suppressed rage that was only going to stay that way for a few more seconds.

Ron and Harry turned to each other looking doubtful.

"You tell her," Ron whispered and Harry shook his head violently.

"Tell me what?" I said my voice rising.

"Nothing," they both chorused at the same time.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked placing my hands on my hips. "Tell me before I kick your pansy asses!"

Ron and Harry looked at each other for a moment before turning their attention to Snape who, when I turned back to him catching him by surprise, was waving his hands violently.

"What the hell did you do now?" I asked furiously my entire body shaking.

"I didn't do anything," Snape said backing up slightly. I turned back to Ron and Harry who were watching me carefully as though I was going to explode and kill them. Which I may just have to do if they don't tell me what the hell is going on.

"Ok so we heard that someone might come and try to kill you. So we put your parents in a safe house and we transformed into them. Then we had Snape pretend that he killed Dumbledore, who is still alive somewhere, and go back a spy. Malfoy saw him kill Dumbledore so everyone thinks he is still bad. Then the whole thing with your kidnapping, well if Voldemort knew you were kidnapped then he wouldn't have to hunt for your parents anymore and then he would leave them alone. So your kidnap was all a set-up and Snape didn't do anything bad. Oh and you got married because the Ministry was rounding up muggle-born wizards and witches and making them marry a pure blood so we thought we would just stick you with Snape until the whole thing passes over. We didn't expect to get you pregnant," Harry said quickly. I stood stock still and then turned to Snape.

"I am going to kill you. I am going to kill you all," I said calmly like I was explaining a homework assignment. The three men stared at me for a moment to see if I was kidding.

"Come one Mione, we did what was best for you," Ron said quickly as I pulled my wand out of my pocket. I sighed angrily.

"I would run or do whatever you think might save you. Oops, ok here I go," I warned. Snape stood still like he didn't think I was going to do it. I aimed a spell straight at his head. He ducked quickly and the basket behind him blew up.

"Hermione calm down!" Harry said urgently as I aimed a spell for his head. He ducked quickly and the wall behind him caved in, leaving a large gaping hole.

"Bloody hell woman calm down!" Snape roared as another spell just missed hitting him.

"You pretended to kidnap me and had me fearing for my life for six months! What did you think I was going to do? Let it slip to Voldemort? I didn't need that and now look where I am because of you three assholes!" I bellowed aiming a spell at Ron. It just skimmed his head and the chest behind him burst into a million pieces. My father ran in to see what all the mess was about.

"Alright why don't we just calm down!" Snape said in what was supposed to be a soothing voice but my anger seemed to be scaring them. I aimed another spell and he ducked in time as it soared through the window and lighting a tree outside on fire. "Now really!"

I have another snarl of anger and lowered my wand. Someone came behind me and grabbed it out of my hands. I turned to see Harry trying to soothe me, he pinned my arms at my side and led me into a chair.

"I really did not think she was going to act like that," Ron whispered in a voice he thought I couldn't hear. I rolled my eyes and watched as they placed my wand in a safe box locked by Snape's magic.

"You really think I need my wand to do magic?" I asked smiling scarily. It seemed to work because Harry looked at Snape doubtfully. He shook his head.

"She didn't have her wand all summer," Snape said in a low voice. What do people think I'm deaf or something? I can hear them.

I snapped my fingers and an apple flew into my hand. I just raised me eyebrow and bit into it. I didn't mind that it had all paint clippings and dust on it.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked sounding in awe.

"I went all summer thinking I was going to die, so I began learning magic without a wand. Oh I also stole some books out of your library even after you told me you would kill me if I did. Then just to spite you, I spilled fruit punch on it. And cleaned it up with your socks. Then put them back in your drawer," I said as Snape got an ugly look on his face. "and you wore them the next day."

Ron stood still for a moment not knowing whether or not he should laugh.

"This is why I told you I needed her out," Snape snapped at Harry whilst jabbing a thumb in my direction. I rolled my eyes and continued eating. I snapped my fingers again and the chest went back into one piece. Everyone turned back to me.

"Are you calm?" Harry asked me inching towards me with his hands up innocently. I kicked him in the crotch with one sharp kick. Ron and Snape winced and took a step back from me.

"That is for ruining my summer!" I yelled as he clutched onto the table.

"You need to calm down!" Snape yelled. I leaped up, with as much grace and speed as a bump would allow, and advanced on him while he took another step back.

"I need to what?" I asked in a furious whisper.

"Calm down," Snape repeated obviously not fearing my wrath. I kneed him in the crotch.

"That is for holding my hostage for nothing," I kicked him again, "That is for making me clean your crap house," I hit him in the chest, "That is for forcing me into some shit of a marriage," I punched him in the face, "And that is for getting me pregnant and ruining the rest of my life."

I turned around and grabbed the safe box off the kitchen table and stomped out of the house. I passed my "parents" who were sitting in the den talking quietly. I stomped out of the house and into the cool air. I closed my eyes trying to think where I could go. I heard steps getting closer to me, so I ran down the steps and down the street.

I walked to the park and sat down in my bench as I watched the swans float by closely followed by their babies. I touched my stomach and felt the small bump. It was still hard to think that in four months, a baby is going to be here and I'll just be another fat housewife. I felt tears come into my eyes and quickly tried to shove them away.

"It'll all be alright dear," an old woman said as she sat down next to me. I glanced over at her and saw she must have been like a hundred years old.

"I don't think it will," I said sadly.

"Tell me what's the matter," the woman said again. I hesitated and she looked embarrassed. "You must forgive me! I speak before I think."

I smiled a little. "Well it's a long, complicated story."

"I got another hour before I need a refill on my oxygen," the woman said with a tiny smile. I laughed again and turned to her.

"I was kidnapped and held hostage by my old teacher who I thought went back over to the Dark Side, after he killed the Headmaster of my school. So I'm trapped in his house and he is really awful to me and he makes me clean and whatever. Then we start to fall in lust and I sleep with him. The next day he forces me to marry him and I find out I'm pregnant and I didn't even need to be kidnapped and I cant have this baby because this is Snape!" I said quickly sobbing with every word.

"My don't we have quite the predicament," the old woman tutted and handed me a tissue so I could blow my nose. She said sleeves are made for tears.

I smiled sheepishly and wiped my dripping nose carefully before turning to her. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let myself get carried away like that."

"Codswallop," the woman huffed. She turned to me with an all too familiar gleam in her eye.

"You know Tonks I really wanted to be alone," I said staring back at the lake.

"How did you know it was me?" Tonks said and with a small pop turned back into herself. I shrugged slightly and just sat hunched over my belly watching the ripples in the water.

"I think I am officially wiping my hands clean of this," I whispered sadly.

"Of what?" Tonks asked leaning forward.

"The whole witch thing. It was great but…with this baby, there isn't much I can do. I feel trapped and sometimes it's like I'm drowning and I cant come up for air. And as quickly as it comes, it's gone and I'm fine again. But this is so much worse. I was tricked by the two people who I ever truly cared about. They tricked me, and let's face it, fucked my life. And all for what? Some silly wizard who we should have just taken a nuke to years ago? I can't deal with this. I mean Snape and I don't even love each other. This is the one night stand from hell and I will have to deal with it for the rest of my life. It isn't fair to force a man like Snape to stick around with an ex-student and some baby. Let's face it, he'll kill the both of us. I think I'm just going to get on a train and ride it until it stops. Then that is where I'll have my new life. What do you think?" I asked turning back to her. She had a deep frown that was hard to keep with all the tears brimming in her eyes. "Don't you dare cry." I warned.

She sniffed once and then pulled me into a harsh hug. It was awkward and pointy, but it was that of a friend offering the only comfort she knew to give.

"Shouldn't you let Snape decide whether he really wants the baby or not?" Tonks asked in a small whisper. I turned to her with a snort.

"Does Snape want a baby? Does a Comet 360 out fly a Firebolt?" I asked with a smirk. There was a pause.

"Fuck no," we both said at the same time. I sighed in despair and let my back rest against the damp metal.

"So are you just going to leave and not tell anyone where you were going?" Tonks asked sadly.

I shrugged. "They'll find me. They always do. What does it matter?" I asked bitterly.

"It matters to everyone," Tonks said in a harsh voice I didn't recognize. I didn't let it faze me, I was already to far into the Bitter Barn Zone.

"Right the people who locked me away for the summer," I said furiously. "Who couldn't even tell me that it wasn't real? Who had me pray every night that maybe I would get through this? Those people? They can care about me all they want. I will never care back. I cant," I snapped back. She looked affronted and focused back onto the lake.

"So that's the attitude you're going to take?" Tonks asked angrily.

"Sorry that little game doesn't effect me," I said smiling at her. She shook her head amused but it quickly turned into another sad expression.

"You don't need to cry over me. I'll get through it. I always do. I know how to pick up the pieces," I said once again the bitterness seeping into my voice.

"Don't you even want to know what they have to say?" Tonks pleaded.

"Not really. See these were the people I trusted more than anything and they…just invaded it," I said shaking my head, the lump growing inside of my throat.

"It's not their fault!" Tonks said angrily.

I turned to her. "It isn't their fault that I was "kidnapped"? It isn't their fault that for six months I was sure I was going to die? It isn't their fault that I slept with Snape?" I hissed furiously than stopped. "Ok that wasn't their fault. I blame Snape for that. And then he married me and got me pregnant. Now if that happened to you, I am pretty sure you would not be sitting by some lake contemplating the meaning of life. Don't try that forgive and forget bullshit on me. It doesn't work. I'm just going to go. Maybe I'll come back maybe I wont. Who knows?" I said and stood up. "Bye Tonks."

I kissed her and turned around. Snape was standing in back of us, leading me to believe he heard the entire conversation.

"Yes?" I asked placing my hands on my hips.
