Chapter 2
Ginny and Harry aparated just outside the door of Ron and Hermione's flat. From inside, they could hear angry voices.
'Crap, Harry, I told you we should've waited!' Ginny hissed, while shooting an evil look in the general direction of her fiancé.
'Ginny, don't give me that look. We did wait!' Harry knocked, but no one answered.
'Ron! Are you saying that I'm fat!' Hermione shrieked from inside. 'That is the absolute most barbaric thing you have every said to me. I can't stand to look at you right now.'
Harry and Ginny heard heavy footsteps going towards the back of the flat where Ron and Hermione's bedroom is, and then a deafening slam.
'I never said you're fat!' Ron's voice said angrily, following Hermione to their bedroom. But he seemed to soften as he heard Hermione's sobbing. 'Baby, please come out, I didn't mean anything by it…all I suggested was that we make a few extra eggs, that's all! And you're not fat, you're caring our child with grace; you're absolutely glowing, and you look beautiful.' He paused. 'But there was no reason to get so mad at me …. what's wrong with you!'
'Shut up Ron, you ugly git! I don't want to hear anymore. Harry and Ginny should be here any minute, so we'll continue this argument later.' Ginny and Harry heard Hermione open the door and shove Ron out of the way.
Harry glanced over at Ginny. They were both still in the hallway, looking uncomfortable. 'Maybe we should come back later?' Harry whispered.
Ginny silently agreed, and they made to back away from the door, but suddenly, a forcibly happy Hermione opened it.
'Oh, you guys are here! I didn't hear you! Come in!' she said, faking cheerfulness. 'Ron's just about finished with the eggs.'
Harry and Ginny walked cautiously into the flat, looking around for evidence of broken valuable items that may have been chucked during the fight. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, though, so they all relaxed quite a bit, and went to join Ron in the kitchen for brunch. If nothing was broken, it couldn't have been such a horrible fight…right?
'Mmm, Hermione, everything was fabulous!' Ginny gushed after their uncomfortable brunch was over.
Harry laughed at her, choking out, 'She likes anyone who gives her food.'
Ginny slapped his arm playfully, and looked over at Ron. 'Ronnie, you've hardly said anything at all. Is there something bothering you?' Ginny regretted these words as soon as they came out of her mouth. 'I just meant, you don't seem like yourse—'
'Ginny, I'm fine,' Ron interrupted, forcing a smile. 'We've just had a bit of a rough morning.'
Hermione snorted. 'Rough? That's what you call rough? Like hell! I am so angry at you right now; I really don't even know how I am in the same room as you and not ripping your throat out!' Hermione exclaimed, rather heatedly.
Ron began his rebuttal, but Ginny interrupted, 'This is wonderful,' she said smiling, 'Harry and I were hoping you would fight today so we could tell you about our brilliant plan to fix all your problems.' Ginny smiled at Hermione and the fuming Ron.
Harry said nervously, 'Don't bring me into this, yet…you all still look a little angry… too angry for me to deal with.' He sat back in his chair with a coffee mug in his hands.
'How exactly are you going to do that, Ginny?' Hermione asked acidly, ignoring Harry.
'Well, Harry has this friend… who has this friend… whose sister's boyfriend's, uh, something…never mind, it's too painful. Anyway, the point is, there's this marriage counseling retreat tha—'
'Marriage counseling! We do not need marriage counseling! That's ridiculous!' Hermione said irritably.
Harry interrupted again, 'No, Herms, let her finish. It might be a good idea.' He looked over at Ron who sighed dejectedly and nodded.
'Fine.'
'Okay, Hermione, thank you. As I was saying, it's this really romantic 10 day trip that takes place at a spa somewhere near the coast. There's a marriage counselor there that holds meetings twice a day. It seems like it might really help you guys. It's easy to get angry with each other, I know, especially while Hermione's pregnant, but I think this may be just what you two need.' Ginny finished her anecdote and looked around and Ron and Hermione.
Ron nodded again. 'I suppose it might help. What do you think, Hon?'
Hermione sighed. 'I suppose we should try it.' Harry smiled. Ginny was a good salesperson. 'But on one condition.' Hermione sent a death glare at Ginny and Harry.
'You two are coming with us.'
