Dumbledore burst out laughing when Tonks, now Mrs. Weasley, told him what Ron did when he found out that he had consummated the marriage.

"I really need to thank Ginny," she told him. "Unlike Hermione, that was a real potion that she put in his pumpkin juice."

"Oh, I don't doubt that," Dumbledore said. "Now onto other business. We've found out that Lavender is the mother of Tom's child. I'm going to have her rescued from Riddle Manor during the feast that will be taken place."

"Let's hope that she hasn't taken the mark," Mrs. Weasley said.

"I hope not either," Dumbledore said. "Now, I think you need to hunt down your husband and make sure that he hasn't flown out the window."

Mrs. Weasley grinned and then left.

"I can't believe that you did that to your own brother," Ron hissed at Ginny.

Ginny stood in the doorway of her home.

"And I'm telling you that what I do is my business," Ginny said. "Dumbledore wanted to make sure that you were protected and that's what I did."

Ron went red.

"Oh are you going to tell mummy and daddy that Ronny was a little horny for his wife?" she taunted.

Ron went even redder, which delighted Ginny.

"Hay, what's going on here?" Severus asked, sticking his head out.

"Oh, nothing honey, horny Ronny is mad that he had wild, hot, sex with Tonks due to a little potion that I brewed."

Severus smirked.

"Well, your mother would be surprised that you know how to do that," Severus said. "I thought the only thing big you could put into anything was food."

Ron stormed away, while Ginny and Severus roared with laughter.

"Harry," Hermione called out, crying. "I thought you would always be there for me."

She touched the bars that were her cage and sobbed even more. Her life had gone downhill the moment it came out that she had married Remus. She heard the sound of footsteps and then the door opened to reveal Harry.

"Harry, you came to visit," Hermione said.

"Ya, whatever," he muttered, just as Remus appeared.

"Sorry about being late, Hermione," Remus said. "But I almost had to drag the Headmaster into this."

Hermione was confused.

"Harry, I want to talk to you and since Hermione's here, and then she can hear what were saying," Remus went on. "Harry, me and Hermione had no intention of getting married to each other and since it happened, there's nothing that we can do to change that. If we had to do it all over again, we would have changed several things. Though I don't know right now what those things are."

Harry didn't say anything.

"Harry, I want to still be your friend," Hermione said. "Nothing has changed, except that sometimes I'm over you or sometimes I'm busy with my new business. Please, Harry, don't let this stupid law keep us from still being friends. We've been through a lot for the past six years and I don't want to lose all that due to something on a piece of parchment."

Harry turned his head, which meant the he was listening.

"Harry, you know first-hand what it's like to marry someone that you don't really care for," Remus said. "You had to marry Luna and I know that you didn't like that. Please understand that Hermione and I felt the same way."

Harry eyed him.

"Felt, don't tell me you both care for each other," he said.

Both Remus and Hermione blushed.

"Were not ready to say anything like that, but yes, we care a little about each other," Remus said. "And it might grow and it might not. Harry, listen, Sirius wouldn't want you to hate me for something that wasn't our doing."

"And right now I don't need that," Hermione added. "I'm expecting and I don't need the stress. Please don't make me lose my baby."

Harry sighed.

"Alright, but only for the baby," Harry said. "I'll decided the rest when the time comes."

Hermione felt a warmth relief flooding her and then the door opened and Severus appeared.

"Mr. Potter, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"We where having a little chat with Harry," Remus said. "But where done! I'll leave you alone with Hermione."

And both wizards left.

"Now that the morons are gone," Severus said. "Let's see how your fairing."

He walked over and tapping the cage with his wand, it opened. Hermione walked out and Severus ran his tests again. He noticed that her body had returned to normal.

"Now that's interesting," he muttered, writing this down on the parchment. "Now let's see what causes you to transform."

He conjured a glass of milk, which got Hermione's attention. She leaped at him, trying to get at the glass of milk, her nails and teeth extended. He stunned her again and put her back into her cage. He wrote this down and then left. He still had a lot of work to do.

"What do you mean that we can't have our brooms," Severus heard an angry man asking Remus.

"My wife is sick," Remus said. "But I'll try and get them for you, until then, you can't have them."

Severus listened with interest and then walked off.

"Can you believe that Ginny and that rotten husband of hers insulted me," Ron said to Neville. "I mean, what right did they have."

Neville felt like leaving him alone to rant, but the mail hadn't arrived and he hoped that his gran had given him something. A few minutes later the owls arrived and dropped a letter to Ron. He saw that it was from Fred. He opened it and read:

Dear Ron,

I hope that everything is going well and that you're not causing trouble. Me and my wife are abroad and are having a wonderful time. I hope to see you soon.

Love,

Fred.

Ron wished that he was with Fred right now.
