Ginny Weasley was shocked when Hermione fell out of the fireplace and onto the floor of her flat. Hermione was sobbing hysterically and speaking incoherently. Ginny rushed to her friend's side and lifted her to her feet. Harry had followed Ginny and was standing in the doorway watching in horror.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" Ginny asked as she steered Hermione to the couch. Hermione tried to speak but couldn't. Harry rushed forward and began stroking Hermione's hand.

"Gin, get a paper bag from the kitchen and a glass of water" Harry ordered, Ginny stood there looking confused, "Gin, she is hyperventilating. She did this all the time at Hogwarts, just please hurry."

Ginny ran into the kitchen and grabbed a paper sack and quickly filled a glass of water. She rushed back into the living room shoving the bag into her boyfriend's hand. He passed the bag to Hermione who lifted it to her face and began breathing into it. After a few terrifying moments her breathing slowed down to normal. She took a sip of the water.

"Sorry" Hermione mumbled. Harry moved up and sat beside her on the couch.

"That's ok" Harry assured her, "But you want to me what prompted this. I haven't seen you have an anxiety attack since before Newts"

Hermione laughed and wiped the tears from her face. Ginny sat down on the other side of her friend and stroked her hand. Hermione took a deep breath and sighed before speaking. "I am pregnant," she whispered more to the floor than her friends. "And it's not Oliver's"

Ginny was blown away by this information. She knew Hermione had an affair because all of the signs were there but she never expected Hermione to become pregnant. "How did Oliver take it?" Ginny asked.

Hermione let out hollow laugh, "He took it better than me" Hermione informed her friends, "He seemed entirely unaffected when he told me to 'get rid of it'" At Hermione's words Harry jumped to his feet and began pacing and mumbling under his breath, Ginny continued stroking Hermione's hand.

"What are you going to do?" Ginny asked softly.

Hermione shrugged, "I don't know" Hermione teared up again. She laid her head on Ginny's shoulder and cried softly. "I don't want to get rid of my baby"

Harry cleared his throat and looked a little embarrassed as he asked, "Hermione, who is the father?"

Hermione paled and buried her face in Ginny's shoulder, "I am so embarrassed," Hermione, wailed.

"You can tell me anything" Harry assured her, "No matter what I am here for you".

Hermione stared at him for a long moment then whispered, "It's Percy". Ginny gasped and Harry looked confused.

"Percy" Harry echoed. "As in Percy Weasley"

Hermione nodded her head and told them the whole story, the beginning of the relationship and Ron's ultimatum.

"Ron is such a foul tempered, pompus.."Harry trailed off.

"Prat" Ginny finished for him, "What is Ron's problem?"

"Please" Hermione pleaded, "Please don't say anything to Ron"

"At some point your going to have to" Ginny interrupted her, "I mean it is Percy's baby" Ginny paused and then jumped to her feet, "Were you even planning on telling Percy?" Ginny exploded.

Harry put a hand Ginny's arm to calm her down, "Slow down love, give her a chance to talk before you explode" Harry said

"Of course I am telling Percy" Hermione replied, "I am just not looking forward to it"

"Well, you don't have to tell anyone, anything tonight" Harry told her, "But you do need to make some decisions, are you staying with Wood."

Hermione shook her head, "No" Hermione admitted, "it's been over for a long time. I am ready to admit that now"

"Ok" Harry rationalized, " Then tonight you will sleep here tomorrow you will go home and talk to Wood. Ok?"

Hermione nodded and allowed Ginny to lead her to the spare bedroom and put her to bed, she fell asleep quickly dreaming of Percy and how he would react to her news.

Hermione awoke the next morning and ate breakfast with Harry and Ginny. When they were done and the kitchen was clean Harry went with Hermione to her flat. Oliver was there pacing the living room. "Where in the hell have you been?" Oliver cried. Harry stepped and put a hand on his chest.

"Calm down" Harry ordered. "You will either talk rationally with her or you'll have row with me, those are your choices"

Oliver glared at harry but nodded. Hermione motioned for him to join her on the couch. He took a seat and Hermioen started the conversation, "I am really sorry about what happened. I din't want you to find out about my indescretions this way"

"I am not angry about that" Oliver assured her, "I would be htpocrite if I was. I just want you to end this. Call me selfish if you want but I don't want tstart our life this way, you pregnant with someone else's child. That's not fair to you, to me or the child"

"Your right" Hermione agreed, "That is no way to start our life, Oliver, it's over"

Oliver grabbed her arm as she stood up and he pulled her back down. "Hermione, no, we can work through this"

"Oliver, we can't" Hermione told him gently. "You have never been faithful to me and I am not sure I can be faithful to you. I am in love with someone else"

"The father?" Oliver asked and Hermione nodded. He stood up and cleared his throat, "then I will be getting my things and going. I want you to be happy even if it's not with me. I will call Percy and have him help me move my stuff, I will stay with him for a little while"

Hermione felt panicked at the idea of seeing Percy at that moment, "Have you told Percy about me and the baby?" Hermione asked hoping her emotions didn't show in her voice.

Oliver looked apologetic , "I am sorry, I did" Oliver told her, "I wont tell anybody else. I don't want to talk about you behind your back. But Percy would have been one of the first to knwo anyway."

"Why do you say that?" Hermione asked, "What would make you think that?"

Oliver looked confused , "The Weasley's are like your own family, I figured they would be the first people to know" Oliver explained.

Hermione sighed in relief, "Oh, sorry I missunderstood" Hermione mumbled. Oliver crossed thr room and lightly kissed Hermione on the forhead.

"I am sorry" Oliver said, "I drove you away, and you deserve better, I hope you find it Hermione"

Hermione felt tears falling down her face. Harry put his arm around Hermione's shoulder. "It's going to be ok" Harry whispered, "Your not alone, We are going to figure all of this out"

"I need to get out of here" Hermione told Harry, "I can't see Percy, "Not yet"

"Yeah, I agree, let's go" harry said pulling Hermione toward the fireplace, "We need to go have a little talk with Ronald."

Hermione grimaced and tried to protest, "Harry he will stop speaking to me, he will hate me" Hermione cried as she puleld away from Harry.

"If I slaughter him that wont be an issue"Harry mumbled.
