Back at St Mungos, Harry arrived only to be half crash tackled, half bear hugged by Ron.

'Oh, Harry, Mate' the words came out of Ron's mouth were sort of muffled and soft as he was speaking into Harry's robe. Ron regained himself somewhat and stepped away from Harry, with a small lopsided smile he repeated himself.

'Harry, Mate, I can't get over how small she is! They took her away for some tests little while ago, but they said, that the moment they were finished they would send her out.' Ron sighed and shook his head.

'Dad sent over those' He pointed to three very large bags in the corner of the waiting room. 'Everything you could ever need to magically raise a baby.' Harry shook his head at the bags, and then turned to Ron.

'Your dads a good man,' Ron's ears went a little red at this, as Harry regularly told Ron that he was just like his father. 'Did they tell you what I named her?' Harry asked with a worried glance towards his friend.

He wasn't completely sure that Ron would be particularly thrilled with the idea of giving the baby Hermione's name.

Ron smiled sadly, 'yes they told me, nice name, but what happens when she comes home'

Harry look at Ron as if trying to determine wether his friend had gone slightly insane. Harry had decided long ago that Hermione wasn't coming home, Both Molly and Arthur had also come to the conclusion that Hermione wasn't coming home. Hell even Crookshanks had decided that Hermione wasn't coming home. Opting to live with Fred and George. Yet Ron, he was stuck in the past, and he seemed quite contented to continue pretending, Harry couldn't bring himself to remove Ron from that world. Then again, Harry thought, would he be able to even if he wanted to?

'I'm sure she would be more than happy to share her name with such a beautiful little girl' Harry moved walked briskly over to the ministry bags, desperate for a change of topic, and began to shuffle through them. One of them was completely filled with clothes, and the other two filled with little magical devices. One that particularly struck Harry was the Baby monitor. It seemed to be quite, well, muggle. The end that was supposed to be left in the baby's room was exactly like the ones that Muggles used. And the other end was exactly the same.

Harry plucked them out of the bag and turned to Ron,

'What are these supposed to do?' He asked while fiddling with the little buttons and nobs on the side.

'Harry you might not want to play with that' the words were barley out of Ron's mouth when the baby monitor flew out of Harry's hands up into the air and started to scream.

'THE BABYS CRYING, THE BABYS CRYING, THE BABYS CRYING!' .Over and over. While this was happening Harry was having a small panic attack, they were in a hospital. You have to be quiet here. Ron wasn't being any help as he was in fits of hysterics, he seemed to think that this situation was HIGHLY amusing. Harry tried jumping up to grab a hold of the monitor, with the plan of either being able to turn it off. Or stomp on it until it was silenced. However once he had a grip on it, the monitor took off even higher into the air. Taking Harry with it! Now Harry really didn't know what to do. He was floating about a metre and a half off the ground, clinging to a small white device that was screaming.

'RON! Help me! What do I have to do?' Harry called down to Ron. Who now, it appeared, was laughing so hard he was having trouble breathing. His face colour was matching his hair.

'Ok' Harry thought 'I am going to have to do something about this myself' Harry adjusted his hands. Shuffling around, he managed to get a strong enough hold with his left hand to reach down with his right and pull his wand out of his pocket. And muttered a silencing charm. The screaming immediately stopped. Leaving Harry with only one problem, he was still levitating. Ron was slowing regaining composer his face going back to normal colour. Ron looked up at the now silently hovering Harry. He got back onto his feet, and moved towards Harry; Ron looked up at Harry and smiled.

'I hate to say I told you so' he smiled evilly

Harry just glared at his friend,

'Ron 'He said evenly 'you better get me down right now or I might have to bring up, lav-lav'

Ron looked up at Harry, who was smiling evilly,

'You wouldn't'

'well I do have to go and talk to your mum later this week, I could mention that you guys have hooked up again, and you know that she really wants you two to get together,' Harry smiled softly and put on a Molly like voice.

'Oh, My Ronnie, it is so so so good to hear that you have moved on and found some one that you really like, and are willing to spend time with' Then Harry changed back to his own voice. 'And you can just imagine the twin's reactions' by this time Ron looked almost sick,

'OK, ok Harry, you win, I'll get you down' Ron waved his wand twice, and slowly the monitor floated towards the ground, Harry still clinging to it. The moment Harry touched the ground he tossed the little monitor back into the bag and whirled around to face Ron.

'When we get home YOU and setting that thing up, ok?' Harry looked up into Ron's face, and Ron couldn't help but think that regardless of how short Harry was, he could be really scary when he wanted to, But Ron wasn't going to give in to Harry with out an agreement, after all Harry had threatened him with Lavender.

'Ok, but under one condition'

'Anything, anything at all' Harry replied, though he did think he knew what was coming.

'You never ever ever, bring up Lavender Brown around my family, or me, again. Ok?'

Ron stuck his hand out to Harry waiting for him to shake it.

'You got it' Harry grinned and took Ron's hand.

At that moment a small female healer entered the room, her hair was blonde and cropped short, with light blue shimmery eyes. She held a little bundle of blue blankets in her arms, and she made her way over to Harry and Ron.

"Hello Harry, Ron' she smiled, her name was Jamie, and she was one of the healers that saved Ron and Harry's life after the final battle. She looked at them both quizzically and then looked down at the baby in her arms; she smiled at the sleeping little girl, before passing her on to Harry.

'I always thought you would make a good dad Harry' she quickly squeezed his arm lightly before throwing her arms around Ron and hugging him tightly, Ron hugged her back, but with restraint. Jamie had always had a very, ah, soft spot for Ron. Though she was aware of his lingering love for Hermione, That still didn't stop her maintaining hope, that maybe one day he would come around, or maybe a better term would be, move forward.

She let go of Ron, and laughed lightly, Jamie was just one of those people who everybody just liked. Her laugh was contagious and her smile made everyone more comfortable. Plus she laughed freely and often. During the war, she had been the only light and warmth that kept lots of people going.

Harry could tell that Ron liked Jamie as well, it was just the little things, the way she seemed to stand up taller, and the way he put more effort when they were going out and she was going to be there as well. Though, Harry could also tell that Ron wasn't going to leave the memory of Hermione with out a lot of persuasion. And Jamie wasn't really one to make the first move.

Harry sighed and smiled at Jamie.

'So, any news, after the tests?' Ron was fidgeting next to him, running his fingers through his hair, and rocking slightly. Harry gave Jamie and half smile and shook his head at Ron.

'Well' started Jamie 'Nothing much as of yet, She seems perfectly healthy, you will have to come back in a about a week, but that really is all that matters.' She smiled at Harry and his daughter, her eyes twinkling.

'So, no more partying for the chosen one, have to be the grown up father figure'

Harry laughed,

'Yep, well I have to try don't I?' He grinned, 'you want to come around to my house for lunch later this week, say Friday, I am planing on inviting the Weaslys along as well.'

Jamie smiled then turned to Ron

'Only if you don't mind Ron' she said softly, Ron looked a little taken aback at this question.

'No, No! I really don't mind.' He smiled at her, a small lopsided grin.

Jamie smiled back, and then pulled her gaze away from Ron and back onto Harry.

'I'll be there. And I will bring cake!'

'Ok' Harry smiled at his two friends. Jamie suddenly looked shocked and gasped.

'Harry! I cant believe that I forgot to tell you, you cant apparate with her until she is at least a month old, it will do bad things in terms of her development' At that point a little blue light began to flash on Jamie's belt.

'and that' she said 'is my cue to leave'

Once Jamie had gone, Ron turned to Harry.

'You have to go and fill in some forms; I will take the bags, get dad to send a car around for you and set up Hermione's room, that sound like a plan?'

Harry nodded.

'See you soon Ron'

Ron quickly waved his wand and summoned up a pram for Harry, he flashed his friend a quick smile and walked away. As Harry gently placed his little girl into the pram he said softly.

'Just you and me now kiddo, just us'
