Chapter 2: Big News
A Few Weeks Later
Ron and Hermione went to The Leaky Cauldron for their weekly dinner with Harry and Ginny. This week, Harry announced that the newlyweds had big news. Fearing what they were going to say, Hermione forced a smile and said, "Well, what is it?"
"I'm pregnant!" Ginny shrieked.
"Oh my God, Gin! That's great!" Hermione said, trying to hide how much this upset her.
But Ron saw right through her, deciding to talk to her later. "Wow, Harry, Gin, that's great! Congratulations!"
The food came, so they didn't discuss this anymore.
After Dinner
Harry and Ginny each hugged Hermione and Ginny hugged Ron. "We'll see you both on Sunday at the Burrow," Ginny said before they left.
"Well, Ron, I guess we should be going too," said an exhausted looking Hermione.
"Not quite yet. First, I want to walk around Diagon Alley. Maybe buy a few things."
"Um, all right," Hermione replied, unsure of where this would go.
He took her hand and led her out the back ways. He tapped on the third brick and they walked through the archway together.
Once inside, surrounded once again by the craziness, he led her to a quiddich store. She laughed as they walked through the door. "Ron! We've been going to this store since second year! Isn't it about time you grow out of this?"
Ron pouted and grabbed a book off the shelf. "I only wanted this." He headed up to the register to pay.
They left and went to Flourish and Blott's. "I just need this one book…" Hermione rambled on and on. She had a stack of ten books by the time she decided she was done.
"So, 'Mione, I saw how you looked when Ginny told us, but I want to hear you say it. What do you really think of their being pregnant?" Ron asked as he pick up one of Hermione's bags.
"Oh, I'm really happy for them."
"Hermione Jane Granger! Tell me the truth! Now!"
"I don't know what you mean, Ronald." She folded her arms over her chest as she said this. "I am happy for them." Ron gave her a quizzical look. "Okay, fine. There's no point in trying to lie to you, is there?" She briefly glanced at him as they continued walking over to a bench, where they sat down. "I'm a little jealous. I mean, remember a few weeks ago when we were talking about marriage and all that?" He nodded, but she didn't notice. "This is just more for me to worry about! If I never get married, I may never have children!" She was almost crying again.
" 'Mione, don't say that! You know your going to get married, you just don't know when or to who."
"To whom," she corrected.
"Right, right. To whom.You're twenty-three years old! You don't need to get married now." She started crying. "What? What's the matter?"
"Nothing. You're so sweet, Ron," she smiled through her tears. "You don't need to say all that. I Know I'm being irrational."
"No, no you're not. I hate to see you sad." They stood up. He put his arm around her as they continued walking, pulling her closer.
