"Oi, Ron" Harry called as soon as they flooed into his house. Ron came out of the kitchen and smiled at his two best friends.

'Harry, Mione" he greeted jovially, "What are you guys doing here"

"Came to talk to you" Harry said. "About Hermione, it's important"

"Everything ok?" Ron asked. He motioned for Harry and Hermione to follow him to the kitchen. "Want something to drink?"

"Water" Hermione said.

"Nothing for me" Harry replied scowling at Ron.

After Ron got Hermione her water he sat down at the table with his friends. Hermione looked at Harry who took that as a sign to start.

"You have one hell of a nerve," Harry snapped at Ron.

Ron recoiled as if he had been slapped and looked between them, "What are you on about?" Ron asked.

"Who are you to tell Hermione who she can be with?" Harry asked. Ron looked at Harry with his usual expression of bewilderment causing Harry to sigh in frustration, "Percy" Harry explained.

Ron's face clouded over, "That is none of your business Harry, that was between Mione and me"

"Not anymore" Harry told him. "Hermione and Oliver broke up today"

"Why?" Ron asked.

"I am pregnant" hermione spoke up for the first time, "and it's not Oliver's"

It took Ron a moment but slowly realization crossed Ron's face. He stared at Hermione as if she were a stranger, "Not Oliver's" Ron echoed, "So you're trying to tell me its Percy's"

Hermione nodded finding it hard to speak. Ron stood up from the table and clenched his fists.

"So your telling me that even after our conversation you still had sex with Percy, after I asked you not to" Ron shouted. "Do my feelings not matter to you? Are you that selfish?"

"Ron, what is your problem" Harry countered, "You broke up with her. You ended things. You don't have the right to control her love life as a friend or a boyfriend, got it?"

"I am so sick of you Potter, just because you were the bloody savior of the Wizarding world you think you have the right to stay in peoples business" Ron snapped, "If Hermione has a problem with me, she should tell me not you"

"He's right" Hermione interrupted the boys, She turned to Ron and said, "I understand that the idea of me being with Percy was weird for you, that is acceptable but it is not acceptable to threaten me or our friendship. Ron, I love Percy and it's hard enough to know he doesn't love me back. I could really use you in my life"

Ron was quiet for a moment then he softened. He reached out and took Hermione's hand, "Your right Mione" he agreed, and "I was only thinking of me I didn't even stop to check on you." He paused, "So, your really pregnant?"

Hermione nodded and Ron squeezed her hand, "I am really pregnant" Hermione repeated. At that moment it hit her and Hermione jumped to her feet, "Oh No, I am pregnant, what am I going to do?" She started pacing Ron's kitchen, "I just got promoted and now I am single. How could I be so stupid?" she berated herself as she paced. Ron jumped up and guided Hermione back to the chair.

"Calm down, we will figure this out" Ron told her gently.

Hermione's eyes filled with tears, "Thank you Ron" She threw her arms around his neck.

"Now, do you want me to make him marry you?" Ron asked, "Because he may be older but I can still beat him up"

Hermione laughed and shook her head, "No, I don't want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with me. Percy doesn't love me and that's ok, I can raise this baby alone"

Ron looked at Harry, who shrugged, and then he looked back at Hermione, "You will never have to do anything alone"

Hermione laughed through the tears, "Thank you guys" Hermione told them but she felt empty inside. Having Ron on her side was wonderful but she needed Percy and she nknew she would never have him.
