Ron was not having a good day at all. He'd just learned that none other than Ginny had soul-bonded with Draco Malfoy. He was absolutely furious as it felt like he'd been stabbed in the heart. He didn't have the chance to respond however as he was then told his father had disinherited Ginny which lead to his other brothers leaving the family. He was very distraught. He could have contented himself with being their only child but couldn't remain when Charlie Black had shown him the memory. His parents were disgusting and he was most ashamed. He had also learned that due to the whole blood feud between the Malfoy and Weasley families Ginny had not be allowed to bond until she was disinherited. In fact Ron was so utterly stunned that he apologised to Draco without needing to be asked to do so. Draco chuckled slightly at that.
When he learned about Harry and Narcissa he just laughed. "Can this day get any weirder? Sure thing mate! Have a nice life. Narcissa I learned many spells for the war and a lot of them are ones you do not probably know. If you hurt even one hair on Harry's head it will be the last thing you ever do. Same for you and Ginny Draco!" he said passionately shocked as a crying Narcissa rushed forward and hugged him closely but not in the same smothering way his old mother had also done.
"The fact that you love and care for Harry as much as me is the best thing in the world I could ask for right now. I Narcissa Ariella Prewett Black do hereby swear on my life and magic to love and protect Ronald Billius Prewett Black like the parent he never had but deserved. May Harry also have the brother he always longed for in his own longed for family so mote it be!" she intoned with a vow as a shocked Ron was made a member of both of their families something which warmed his heart inside. Hermione was still furious all the time as this pregnancy was wreaking havoc on her hormones. She went from furious to horny every hour these days and hated it. She also hated all the weird foods her baby was making eat such as anything with vinegar on it. Now though that she was in her second trimester she was becoming more bearable and pleasant and didn't snap at anyone as much as she might have before. She was genuinely sad that Molly and Arthur had messed up so much they were missing out on grandchildren but had an idea of what to do next.
She approached both Harry and Narcissa with a smile on her face. "Harry, Narcissa, Ron and I have been talking and we have agreed we'd love for you to become the first godparents to our unborn child. I'd like also for Fred and George to be secondary godparents too. They mean so much to us and also we wondered if you wouldn't mind almost being like grandparents who just happen to be exceptionally young to our child. They will miss out on Molly and Arthur and that's not entirely fair is it?" she asked as Fred and George gasped agreeing at once. Bill and Charlie were happy for them. A surprisingly weepy Harry hugged Ron tightly before doing the same to Hermione.
"Oh Hermione we'd be honoured. You are literally giving me the one thing I never had family!" he said as a stunned Narcissa thanked them in a hurried way before excusing herself and darting from the room. She wound up in front of the kitchen sink as in her rush she couldn't make it to the bathroom. She hurled into the sink and felt awful. She knew that shrimp she'd eaten last night had tasted funny. She asked Kreacher for a pepper up potion which he had supplied making her feel better. They all assumed she must have been bursting for a wee when she left the room. She wouldn't be having seafood again for a while. In fact at the thought of seafood her stomach once more roiled as though she may vomit again but she didn't. The new family celebrated long into the night with a large family feast of formal proportions. Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes had been changed to Prewett Parlour of Pranks Inc. and was doing a massive turnover as the Prewett name was still a large one in society.
Lucius Malfoy was absolutely furious when he learned that not only had Malfoy Manor been sold but his son had married Ginny Prewett of all people. He couldn't understand why she wasn't a Weasley member anymore and was further stunned to discover that whatever they had done the Weasley family now had no children. He'd be out in a year or so and he'd make Draco pay then for selling his precious manor. Didn't Draco know that image was everything to him? He had learned that Harry Potter had married Narcissa but he didn't care about her at all and was relieved to be free of her. As head of the Malfoy family by default however Draco had left a trust fund of sorts for his father which couldn't be changed no matter how much the evil old fart complained.
In two months' time Hermione and Ron were getting married in the Japanese Gardens of Waterloo and were very excited about it. It would be a pureblood wedding something she was very excited about once Narcissa had explained it to her. They were in for more shocks as she did an inheritance test herself and inherited a large Manor and a load of money. She'd needed to change her name to Dagworth Granger. When she married Ron it would be Dagworth Granger Prewett Black or simply Dagworth Black. She loved it and so did Ron. Ron had grown in leaps and bounds. Learning that he'd not need to ever fight for his meals again like he'd needed to growing up with Molly and Arthur had made his dining habits better. Narcissa had used an old pureblood etiquette spell for children force him to behave better. It had taken weeks but soon enough he could now talk without his mouth full. He was learning what it truly meant to be a respectable pureblood man and with Hermione's new inherited wealth it meant he didn't need to work and could be there for her and their new child all the time something she both loved and loathed in equal measure.
She felt not working was cheating but agreed that Ron would make an excellent house husband. She would never be content to just back not working. It wasn't who she was. Narcissa was actually not happy about that as most pureblood wives didn't work and it looked bad for her image. She was projecting by working that she needed to work because Ron couldn't afford to support her by himself. Hermione had been incensed even more so when she realised everyone else actually thought that as well. It wasn't fair! Why couldn't she just work without everyone assuming Ron couldn't afford to keep her? She decided instead to save herself the headache and constant judgement she'd devote her time to charitable causes something everyone approved of. This way she was still technically working but it was under the umbrella of being charitable work. Her main aim was to protect the rights of house elves. When everyone had told her to actually speak to them and find out what they needed she had first accused them all of not supporting her desires but then reluctantly realised they were right of course. It was something she was honestly regretting the need to do. What if they told her they didn't want to be free?
She went and interviewed them stunned as they said not only did they not want to be free but it would literally kill them to be free. She was crying when she heard that and realised what she'd tried to do at school and why all the Hogwarts house elves were terrified of her. She had only wanted to help them but it had backfired horribly in her face as did most things when she'd not thought them through properly. The elves told her that they wanted better rights and uniforms. They wanted protection from abusive masters who made them either torture themselves or do things they were not designed to do pushing them far beyond their limits and often draining them of most of their magic. She would work hard for that for sure.
Narcissa herself was not ok having blown up in Harry's face when he brought home spicy buttered shrimp for her to eat. He had been stunned at her outburst when she burst into tears shortly afterwards. "Oh Harry I'm so sorry. I think I'm allergic to shellfish and I never realised it before. A while back when I had some it made me sick the day after and ever since I've been terrified of eating them. They scare me. I don't want to have another reaction like I did!" she said weeping slightly. He convinced her to go to Saint Mungos with him for an allergen test which could let them know for sure what if anything she was allergic to. They entered the mediwitches office and smiled as she removed a blood sample with a smile. She added the sample to a special parchment and smiled at them as the results came through and she looked them over. One result surprised her but she assumed they knew about it so did not bother broaching the topic with them.
"Ok Lady Prewett Black you are allergic to bananas and oats. You have a mild intolerance to shellfish so you're not allergic but if you eat it, it might cause you to become a little sick or even throw up!" she said handing the results to Narcissa who read them and fainted shocking Harry. She was revived and gasped.
"I am so sorry I fainted ma'am. I don't usually do that I assure you. Is this accurate?" she asked pointing at something in the left hand upper corner which Harry had not seen.
"Oh my goodness. I didn't mention it as I assumed you would have already known as that's not why you were here!" she said pointing to an eight beside it as Narcissa cried. She was very emotional and it showed.
"Harry please read this!" she said nervously handing him the results of the test. He looked it over and smiled brightly.
"There is nothing wrong with this test nor how it was done. Why are you crying sweetheart?" he asked as she looked up still crying and asked him to read the very top line which he frowned but did so. He then gasped. He'd not seen it the first time as he'd not been looking for it.
"Oh Narcissa a true family of my own. I love you so much and I don't give a flying fuck who knows it! I'm sorry ma'am I'm just very excited!" he said with a blush as the mediwitch laughed at him.
"Don't worry. As this test shows all is well and Narcissa here is eight weeks pregnant. Congratulations!" she said as they both embraced tears rolling down their cheeks. She smiled leaving this new happy family to enjoy their wonderful moment alone in peace.
