A/N: I know it has been a long time since I've updated my stories. I've been busy and really haven't had time to just sit and write like I used to. I wish I did, even now that it is summer time but I really don't have it all that much anymore. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and look forward for the next one. I've started... I just need a great way to finish it.

The window in the cell only let in the darkness of the night. It was hard to see but Hermione didn't need to move. All she could do was sit there, knowing that Ron was close by but she couldn't be with him. How was she supposed to tell him without anyone hearing her? That was the hardest thing to do.

"Hey," she whispered softly, wondering if Luna and Neville were still awake. When she got no reply, she figured that they were already asleep for now. Sighing softly, she stood up to look out the bars only to see the empty dark hallway.

There were voices coming from the cell near them, Ron and Harry. Obviously they were still up and wide awake. They of all people would be up at a time like this talking about how to get out. Without a wand, it wasn't going to be very easy for them to do and hopefully even they knew it.

"Ron, Harry," Hermione whispered, hoping that they'd hear her. Their faces appeared at the bars of their cell. "I am so sorry I let this happen," she told them, tears in her eyes.

"Hermione, it isn't your fault," Harry told her softly, trying to keep it at a whisper. "We knew as soon as you found out you'd be coming to get us."

"Yeah 'Mione, we could never be mad at you," Ron whispered, giving her a soft smile as best as he could. "Why would you think we'd be mad about this?"

"I did the one thing you asked me not to do," Hermione told him, tears rolling down her soft cheeks. "I left to come get you and help in the war. I put Ginny in danger and who knows where she is right now."

"Hermione, Ginny is a strong girl and you know that," Harry whispered, smiling a little bit. "We all know that and we trained her very well."

"Hey, that is my little sister that is out there," Ron whispered to Harry, giving him a small glare.

"That is my point," Hermione whispered softly. "I let her go Ron. It is my fault. Why aren't you upset with me?"

"Well…" Ron whispered softly looking at her. "I just can't be mad at you. You and my family are important to me."

"So it means he can be mad and hit me but he won't to you. He loves you," Harry replied, trying to add a little bit of a laugh.

"Be quiet Harry," Ron whispered, hitting Harry in the arm.

"Are you guys' intent on whispering from different cells?"

Hermione looked to the doorway to see Ginny standing there, the keys in her hand. She smiled brightly; glad to know now that Ginny was alright. Ron and Harry on the other hand seemed a little more worried then her. But if it got them free, they shouldn't care so much.

Ginny laughed a little bit and walked over to Hermione's cell and unlocked it. As soon as the door opened, Hermione hugged her tightly. She smiled and went to unlock Ron and Harry's cell to let them out. They both watched her closely as she did it and pulled the door open it for them.

"Ginny Weasley!"

"Ron, we don't have time," Hermione whispered, then hurrying into her cell to wake up Luna and Neville. "Let's go," she told them as they were all up and together. She made sure to stay close to Ginny until they were out into the woods again.

When they were safe Neville and Luna said their goodbyes and went off on their own. Hermione looked over at Ron and then walked over to him quietly. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close to her, not sure if she wanted to let go.

"I love you," he whispered softly to her, kissing her forehead.

"I love you to Ron," she whispered back to him, smiling up at him.

"So, I am guessing the best thing to do is send Hermione and Ginny back," Harry said, sitting down by a tree near Ron and Hermione. "We can't have you two getting hurt and you know that."

"Harry is right Hermione," Ron said as he looked down at Hermione, brushing the hair out of her face. "I want you to be safe. Now that I have you, the last thing I want is to lose you."

"I don't want to lose you either but I let you go out with Harry," Hermione told him, trying to see if that would do much but she doubted that it would.

"That isn't the point."

"Please, if we need you then we will find a way to tell you. We promise but for now we don't want you to get hurt," Harry tried to explain, a lot better than Ron was. "Obviously they are after us all. If we are together, that makes it so much easier for them."

"I understand Harry," Ginny whispered, looking at Hermione for a second then nodding towards Ron.

"Do you understand Hermione?" Ron asked softly, looking down at her as he held her close to him.

"Yes, I do," Hermione whispered, getting up on her toes and kissing Ron gently. She knew Ginny wanted her to tell Ron about Jason but she just couldn't have anyone else find out. She kind of didn't want to take the chance with it.

"Good," Ron said softly, kissing Hermione again and holding her close. "I love you so much 'Mione. I promise to be much safer. I will come home alive."

"I love you to Ron," Hermione whispered, moving back towards Ginny. "I will miss you so much. Please be safe."

Ron gave her his famous smile that made her feel week before him and Harry disappeared. Hermione felt her knees going weak but Ginny managed to catch her and hold her up. The two walked back to the Burrow alone, trying to stay hidden in the night so they wouldn't get caught again.

Hermione walked into the Burrow to see Fred and George up in the living room, talking to themselves. Ginny had gone down to their little hide out, knowing Hermione could get Jason alone. She walked over to them and they looked at her for a few seconds and smiled a little bit.

"I'll go get Jason," George whispered, getting up and hurrying up the steps.

"Well, what happened?" Fred asked softly, trying not to laugh. "You look like a mess."

"Oh thanks Fred," Hermione commented, going to sit down near him. "Every girl loves to hear that. But anyways, Ron and Harry are alive and doing okay. They sent us back here when we finally got them free."

"Sounds like it was interesting. You guys were only gone 2 days," he pointed out, laughing a little. "Must have found them fast."

"Yeah, I got captured and Ginny saved us. Can't get faster than that," she said, yawning quietly. "I think Ginny is mad I didn't tell Ron about Jason. I just, I couldn't do it."

"Do you think it was the right choice?"

"No, I don't but I do know that it will keep him safe and unwanted by the Death Eaters," she whispered softly and then looked up as George came down with Jason in his arms. She smiled softly and took Jason from George carefully. "Hey baby boy, mummy has come home."

"How are you going to tell Ron about Jason though?"

"I wish I knew," Hermione told Fred then sighing. "I'm sure I'll see you all tomorrow. Tell your family thank you for me and that Ginny and I are alright."

"Did you need one of us to walk you out?" George asked softly.

"I should be alright. Thank you two so much for everything," Hermione whispered and hurrying out of the house and into their underground home. When she got down there, Ginny was already in her room asleep. She walked into her room and set up Jason's crib in her room and put him to bed.

Quietly, she walked out into the living room and sat down on the couch. It was hard, knowing she had the perfect chance to tell Ron and she was afraid. Jason was a baby, there was no way he'd survive if the Death Eaters got a hold of him and she didn't want that. Maybe it would be more trouble but it was safer.

"I really screwed up!" Hermione muttered in a hushed tone, so not to wake Jason and Ginny.

"Maybe, but maybe it was the right choice in some ways," Ginny whispered as she stood in her bedroom doorway. "I do think you should have told Ron the truth but I also think that Jason is safer if we are the only ones who know about him."

"Yeah, that is how I see it but it feels wrong at the same time," Hermione said softly, not even giving Ginny a glance. "The longer I wait, the more he'll think it is someone else's child."

"Jason looks a lot like Ron, he is a Weasley baby," Ginny pointed out. "I mean, who else would he think did it?"

"Maybe one of your brothers," Hermione said softly, looking over at Ginny. "Some people thought it was Fred or George's baby."

"Ewww!"

"That is what I thought," Hermione said, laughing a little bit at Ginny. "I have never liked them like that and I don't think anything would change that now."

"Yeah, I never understood how girls liked them," Ginny said, laughing a bit herself now. "Then again I never understood what girls saw in Ron either."

"Ginny!" Hermione said, looking over at Ginny.

"He picked a good girl though," Ginny said, smiling brightly. "I would pick you to be my sister-in-law any day."

"Thanks Ginny," Hermione whispered then getting up off the couch. "We should get some sleep now. Good night Ginny." Quietly, she walked into her room and closer the door behind her carefully so she wouldn't wake up Jason. She laid down in her bed and curled up, falling asleep slowly.
