I Found a Reason For Me
Chapter Six
"We're taking the car there. It's not too far away." Ron told Hermione, looking up from the Daily Prophet. Hermione had settled to watching cartoons with Lexie. Hermione turned to him, Lexie on her lap. "Where are we going?" She asked, tilting her head to thee side. He smiled. "A shopping center. There are lots of shops there, and you'll find almost everything in it. However, its not wizarding, so don't expect any clothes you buy to be charmed." Ron joked, and Lexie stared at him, wide eyes and in total shock. Hermione smiled at this expression and played with her daughter's curls. Lexie's eyes moved back on the Television.
"I'm lucky I got that channel. Certain rooms only get certain channels." Ron told her. Hermione walked over to the kitchen area, and sat on a stool he had at the counter. "What's happening in the wizarding world?" Hermione asked. "Oh, the usual," Ron smiled at this, "absolutely nothing." Hermione smiled a bit too.
"Actually the stocks went down and two ministry members were fired for fraud. Nothing else happened really." He told her. Hermione nodded. "Hermione," Ron started, "I made a few calls, and when I mean calls, I mean owls earlier. I spoke with a friend at the ministry who works with hiring, firing, and laying people off. I asked him about any jobs that will be available. There is one. It's in my department. You would be working as an analyzer for ancient things, prophecies, or any other thing we work with." Ron told her.
Hermione looked like she'd been hit by the Knight Bus. It took her a few moments before she could talk. "But Ron what about my education, I mean, I can't-" Hermione tried telling him, but Ron always was the rude one, and stopped her. "If you want the job Hermione, I can arrange for you to take classes of the stuff you miss. You will be able to work at the Ministry if and while you take these classes. Hermione it's a terrific job, its good money, and there are so many benefits. Hermione please think about it. I don't want you going back to that place." Ron told her, tears in his eyes.
Hermione walked around the counter, getting him in a big hug. She had tears in her eyes too. "And you'll pay for me to take the classes I missed?" Hermione asked. Ron nodded. "Everything will be covered, Hermione. You can even stay with me. We can go back to London and be where my real house is, or you can stay here at the hotel. I'll pay for that too." He told her. Hermione gripped him even more tightly. She was crying into his chest. She had never been happier. She would be able to give Lexie a better life and finally have the life she always wanted since she played mummy to her baby dolls.
"Ron, can I do it?" Hermione asked, through his shirt. Ron smiled. "I want you to do it. I'll give you what you need, alright?" Ron asked. "When do I start?" Hermione asked, happily. Ron smiled, wiping Hermione's tears away. "Whenever you want to." Ron told her. "I'll make the arrangements to have you have your own tutors for the classes, instead of actually going away to school. This way, you'll be close to Lexie. I also need to give you an application. Don't worry, you got the job already, but they need some information about you. And you could start as early as Monday." He told her. Hermione was crying, still. Ron patted her back and traced circles on it, while speaking words of comfort. Lexie had come over from the television to see why her mother was crying. "Mummy, wat goin on?" She asked. Hermione, whose head had been leaning on the counter, looked up. She put her arms out for her daughter, who walked right into them. Hermione hugged her daughter. Though, Lexie had no idea why her mother was acting overly affectionate, she allowed her to continue hugging her.
"Lexie, everything going to be all better!" Hermione told her daughter. "Ron will see to that…"

SuperDog12:
I thought I put Harry/Ginny in it… In the chapter when Ron tells her what's going on with everyone. I'll see what I can do with putting Harry/Ginny in it in future chapters, however remember this is a Ron/Hermione fic and I don't like to switch between fic. Harry/Ginny will not get there own chapter. They will always be with Ron, Hermione or both. Does anyone else want Harry/Ginny?
Also, Hermione wouldn't be able to get a ministry job with out her FULL education which she never got.
Crimson Blood Dressed
Hermione didn't but most of Lexie's clothes. Before Hermione left her parent's house for good, she took her things from her childhood. Most people don't save those things, but I saved mine. I still have my first day of school dress and my favorite pair of shoes! Most of the clothes Lexie has were Hermione's.

There isn't any reason that the doctors can find, for Lexie having a speech problem. Some children are born that way. It could be genetic (don't forget about Lexie NOT being Ron's child. It could be from the father, you never know.) Either way the reason she has it doesn't matter much.
Hermione is twenty-three or around there. She and Ron haven't seen one another for years, and would any of you expect your favorite bookworm to be wearing what she was wearing?
Harry will probably be in the story, especially now that I was asked to put Harry/Ginny in there.
Lunis Lupin
I feel the same way, and I bet more than half of the population of women does too!
