That same morning, the rising sun peaked through the curtains in the cheap hotel room and shined bright on the face of Ronald Weasley. He groaned loudly as he began to regain his consciousness.

'What the bloody hell happened last night?' He wondered to himself, trying to piece together the night before.

His head was pounding and he could taste the remnants of firewhisky on his breathe. He felt something stir next to him and looked over to his right in shock. Why the hell was Lavender Brown naked and asleep next to him?

He continued to look at her form dumbly.

It took him a full minute to register what had happened the night before. He had gone out with a few of his quidditch teammates from Puddlemere United for a couple of drinks. And so that exactly what they did.

He remembered the moment his speech began to slur and that was when Lavender Brown came into the picture. She started talking to him and the next thing Ron knew, they were in one of the many rooms of the leaky cauldron going at it like rabbits.

"Fuck!" he shouted angrily and slammed his fist on the bed, causing lavender to jump out of her sleep and nearly fall off the bed.

Ron placed his head in his hands while Lavender looked at him, eye wide with concern.

"Is everything alright Won-Won?" She asked him, her voice was raspy from just waking up.

Ron jumped out of the bed and began putting on his pieces of clothing that had been thrown across the floor.

"Last night was…fun, but I have to go," he said to her as he rushed to put his shirt on.

"When will I see you again?" Lavender asked him, hopeful.

He stuffed his feet into his shoes and made his way towards the door of the hotel room.

"If you're asking if this," he gestured between her and himself, "Would happen again? The answer will have to be a no. This was a mistake and should never have happened."

"But-" She started to say.

Ron cut her off. "Good bye Lavender."

With those last words he grabbed his wand that had somehow ended up on the ground next to the door and rushed out of the room and down the stairs to the lobby where he apparated home.

The moment he flooed into the burrow, Ronald Weasley knew he was in for it.

"Ronald Weasley where have you been all night long?!" Mrs. Weasley shouted loudly at her last son.

Ron winced when at his mother's voice. He felt like he was going to pass out from the serious migraine he was having.

"Are you even listening Ronald?!" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"What?" he asked her dumbly, not hearing a word she had just said.

Harry's voice cut into the conversation.

"Hermione is missing, Ron."

"How the hell is she missing?" he asked Harry with shock.

"It's all your fault Ron. You were supposed to pick her up from the book store last night. What were you doing that you couldn't pick your pregnant best friend up from her job?" Ginny asked him.

Ron really didn't want to tell them the entire truth so he only told half.

"Well, while I was waiting for Hermione I decided to go get something to eat and drink. I may have had too many drinks. I honestly don't have a clue what happened last night," he told them.

His hopes of them believing his words were crushed.

"Uh-huh, is that why you are in the daily prophet shoving your tongue down Lavender Brown's throat?!" Ginny shouted at him angrily and shoved the newspaper harshly into Ron's chest.

Ronald nearly fell back when Ginny shoved the paper into his chest. He lifted to newspaper to his face and blinked a couple of times to make sure he was seeing things correctly.

Indeed on the front cover of the Daily Prophet, was him making out with Lavender Brown before apparating away.

Ginny was still ranting about his irresponsibility's.

Ron deeply sighed, taking one hand and rubbing his face. Seriously, this morning was just getting worse and worse for him.

Harry finally managed to cut into the conversation in between Ginny's shouting.

"Ron, do you understand how serious this is? Our best friend, who is pregnant, was kidnapped by the snatcher who raped her," Harry stated slowly so Ron could comprehend the seriousness of the situation.

Ron nearly groaned.

"How do we know that she was kidnapped? Maybe she went to her apartment or her parents' house or something!"

Harry rolled his eyes and clenched his jaw in annoyance. Before Ginny could say anything, Harry spoke.

"Ron, I went to her apartment earlier to pick her up, there is no sign of her there. She wouldn't go to her parents, they don't even know that she is pregnant yet! That snatcher took her, I know it. He has her right now and Merlin knows what he is doing to her and that baby!"

Ron rolled his eyes at Harry's antics.

"Harry, this is Hermione we are talking about. I'm sure she is alrig-"

"Alright?!" Harry cut Ron off and got in his face.

"For bloody sakes Ron he fucking raped her, twice for all we know! He could be bloody raping her right now and all you can say 'she is alright'!" Harry said while grabbing Ron by his shirt.

"Harry, let him go. You're wasting time. We have to start searching for her now." She said while slowly pulling him away from Ron.

"Ron I am highly disappointed in you! This is one of your best friends we are talking about. Hermione would do anything to find you if you had vanished mysteriously. Why can't you be more empathetic and responsible!" Ginny shouted at him before turning and walking out the door which lead to the backyard.

Harry looked at Ron and shook his head before following Ginny outside where they both apparated away in search of Hermione.

Ron tried to sit down at the kitchen table, only to be stopped by his mother's disapproving glare.

"Ronald Billius Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.

Ron rolled his eyes at his mom, "Yes, I know."

He walked to the kitchen pantry and grabbed a potion for his headache.

After downing the potion, he walked out to where Harry and Ginny previously were.

He seriously hoped Hermione was okay wherever she was.

"Bloody hell. I'm never drinking again," he muttered to himself before apparating to the first place he could think of in the search for Hermione.
