"How do you think Ron and Hermione's anniversary is going?" Ginny asked as we both sat down on the dining table with the spaghetti Ginny made.

"Perfect, I bet. Ron was all worked up over how happy he was to have Hermione in his life. Hermione was also the same and she had the biggest grin in the world." I finished with a content sigh as I took another bite of my tomato pasted spaghetti.

Ginny giggled as I took my bite and reached her finger to my face to wipe the sauce from it. "Thanks, love!"

"So how was James today?" I asked and she filled me in with all the things he did today. I nodded and shook with laughter as Ginny went on telling me how James wanted a cookie today, so he didn't stop eating until he was looking like a cookie himself. I was about to answer when I heard somebody aparated into our apartment. I jumped up and carefully walked into our living room on guard with my wand in my hand prepared to attack.

The sight let my breath get caught in my throat and I ran to help Hermione who was on a heap on the floor. Ginny came from behind me and we both lifted her up and led her to the couch. "Hermione, what's wrong?" Ginny asked full with concern.

Her voice was hoarse as she tried to speak so I got her some water. I hurried back and let her drink before we both waited for an answer.

"I-I don't know what to say." She said and started crying once again. I rubbed her back in a soothing manner and she soon laid her head on my shoulder. Ginny noticed her dozing off and grabbed the brown throw to put it on Hermione.

Ginny and I sat there a bit longer with Hermione sleeping thinking about what in the name of Merlin could have happened. "Do you-you don't think this has anything to do with Ron?" Ginny said barely audible.

"I don't know Gin, I honestly don't know." I looked at Hermione who was stressed while she was sleeping and looked over to Gin who was looking anywhere but me. "Gin, is there something your not telling me?"

She gulped loudly and looked over to me but trying to hide her face with her hands. She opened her mouth and closed it multiple times before she finally spoke. "I-I- oh Harry I feel terrible. I think I may know what has happened but he never talked about it. He told me it wasn't true. I-I- I oh harry! What has he done?" At the end of her short explanation she had tears in her eyes. They silently started flowing.

"Gin, I'm going to go put 'Mione in bed. I'll come back downstairs and we will talk." I stated and she nodded. I carefully picked up Hermione carrying her bridal style to our guest room. I lay her down on the bed and cover her with a quilt. I walk out of the room and close the door.

"What could she have been trying to say?" I mumbled to myself. I thought for a minute more before heading downstairs to understand what my wife thought was happening.

I returned and sat by Ginny on the couch. She sensed my presence and looked at me with teary eyes. "Harry, I am so sorry I didn't tell you earlier." She whispered and I pulled her into a hug while whispering soothing words to calm her.

Once she fully calmed down, I pulled her up and stared into her bright brown eyes that told me everything. Something was wrong and it would take all her will power to tell me. She was fearing. This thing, whatever it was, was killer her.

"Harry, I uh," She paused and took a deep breath. "Harry, I can't tell you. I just can't." She went into hysterics and I calmed her down once more.

"Gin, you know I can never be mad at you. If anything I'll be mad at whoever made you keep this from me. But never at you." She nodded and looked up. Once she started she didn't stop a bit as she poured out the story.

"It started in 3rd year. The year where 'Mione punched him. Ron was ranting about how much of a bookworm Hermione is and I sat there silently listening, to him. And yes I did just say how much of a bookworm Hermione is. Though I didn't say it or think it Ron did and I'm afraid he might still."

I looked at her bewildered. "Gin, what does this mean? Where are you going with this?"

"Just listen please. I want to get it all out and there's much more to it. So as I was saying, Ron was ranting and I sat there listening. What we both didn't realize was the skanky ferret listening and his lot. After about three or four days later I was walking to the library where I saw Malfoy, Zabini, and my idiot of a brother talking. I snuck up behind a column and started listening intently. I heard everything Harry, everything. Malfoy and Zabini triggered him on and he started rambling about Hermione. Ron went on and on whilst Malfoy and Zabini stood there silently but smirking the great smirk of Salazar. I was nervous for my brother but I at that point thought he was a good guy. After he finished, Malfoy started speaking. He spoke slowly and clearly. It was a bet, a bet about everything. And when I mean everything, I mean everything that ever went on with Hermione and Ronald. They betted on him and Hermione dating, shagging, and marrying. They told him if he were able to do all those things and keep a peaceful marriage with pure bliss for two years, he would get the entire Malfoy property. Now this was when Malfoy was young and well all of them were. But Ron took it seriously, I think. I tried finding more out but then he stopped ranting to me and became Mione's best friend. But oh Harry, it was all fake. All fake." Ginny finished and she had a face I hadn't seen for years. The face where she had tear streaks and more coming out. The face where she was frowning instead of smiling.

I pulled her into a deep hug and we remained for a couple of minutes before I was reassured she was all right.

"Gin, I'm not saying that you're wrong because I believe you completely. But this is Ron we are talking about. Not some prat. I know you strongly believe this but maybe, maybe he said it then and didn't mean it. I know he didn't like 'Mione at first but then he warmed up and started loving her. I doubt he would ever be able to hurt her and cause the tears that were in her eyes today." I rubbed my eyes and looked at Ginny who was oddly quiet.

"Gin, what are you thinking?" I asked her unsure of what was going to happen next.

"Um, nothing. Lets just go to bed. It's been a long night." I nodded and helped her up. We walked into our room and I helped Ginny get into bed and crawled in after.

Ginny snuggled up to me and sighed. "I hope everything is alright with Hermione and I hope she will tell us."

I nodded my head and kissed her forehead. "Good night love." I looked over but she was already asleep.

I lay there thinking of what the hell happened. I mean even if Ron did do something, he couldn't be that stupid to hurt Hermione. If anything he probably forgot their anniversary. But that wouldn't make sense. He was happy and excited for it two days ago and even yesterday.

I thought more and couldn't help but come to a theory that what Ginny told me was true. What if Ron did do something as pathetic as that and make a bet? But why would he? And why would Malfoy offer this to him for his whole property? It didn't make any sense to me.

I groaned inwardly and lightly pounded my head. Ugh…whatever happened was something big and I intended to find out. I looked over to the clock and groaned again but this time on the outside. 2:12 a.m. the clock read. I shook my head and let my head fall into the soft pillow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I would find out that in the bloody hell happened.
