Chapter 11
Hermione looked across the dance floor at just the right time, seeing Harry and Ginny kissing. Her jaw dropped, and she nudged Ron. He looked around, just in time to see Harry kissing Ginny again. Hermione guessed that it was a bad idea to let Ron know, because he almost lunged across the room at Harry. If Hermione hadn't kissed him before he could, that is.
When she pulled away, Ron was still fuming. He pursed his lips and gave Harry a death glare.
"What does he think he's doing? That is my little sister!" Ron exclaimed, finally pointing his glance back at Hermione.
"Ron, she's fifteen. This was bound to happen at some point. And, aren't you glad it was Harry, who's your best friend, rather than someone you barely know?" Hermione said knowingly as Ron's face softened.
"Yea…I suppose…but if he does anything to her, at all, I'm gonna kill him!" Ron threatened, and Hermione just rolled her eyes. He was so overprotective.

Harry followed Ginny outside. Ginny felt numb all over, and thought the cold might give her a slap in the face. She took Harry's hand, and they began to walk through the field behind the Leaky Cauldron. Harry conjured up a fire, and they sat down in front of it. Ginny waited for Harry to say something, but he just stared into the flames.
"Harry, if you're having second thoughts…" Ginny said, hesitantly. Harry looked at her, shaking his head fiercely. Ginny grinned as he took her face in his hands, kissing her softly, and then let her kiss him back desperately. Ginny felt Harry's hand on her back, untying her dress. She let it fall on the ground below her, pulling off Harry's shirt at the same time, and pressed her body against his. Harry's hands traveled up Ginny's back, and he began unclipping her bra. She reached for Harry's belt as he began to kiss her fiercely.
Suddenly, Ginny pulled away from Harry, letting her hand fall. Harry looked at her, seeming shy all of a sudden.
"What-what is it?" Harry asked, and Ginny bit her lip, crossing her arms over her chest.
"It's nothing, I just…well, with what's happening with Ron and Hermione, I'd rather be safe than sorry." Ginny said cautiously, pulling her dress back on.
"Oh…that's fine…I understand…really." Harry replied, retying Ginny's dress and then sliding his shirt back on. Ginny helped him button it back up, letting her hand linger on his stomach wistfully for a moment.

"Oh my god, you're kidding!" Hermione exclaimed.
"No, but I stopped him. Just…with what's happening with you getting pregnant and all, I…I don't know." Ginny said, picking at a loose thread on the rug.
She and Hermione were in Ginny's room with an overabundance of food spread out in front of them. Hermione was having more and more cravings lately, so Ginny just brought a ton of food up to her room so they could talk in private. Ginny took a bite of her pumpkin pasty as Hermione repositioned herself in front of the dessert pizza, next to Ginny.
"Ginny, I'm so proud of you, hun! You're not an idiot like me!" Hermione joked, wrapping her arms around Ginny.
"Thanks, Mi, that means a lot…I just hope Harry doesn't get cold feet because of it…" Ginny said, taking a treacle tart.
"Gin, if anything, he's gonna respect you more! And if he doesn't, he's crazy. He would hate to have a girl who he could just push around all the time because she's probably slept with half the school!" Hermione exclaimed, while Ginny just sat there smiling.
"You're the best, Mi." Ginny said, taking a piece of dessert pizza.
"Oh, I know." Hermione joked, grabbing a piece of dessert pizza as well.

Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione returned to Hogwarts just as the weather was getting warmer. (London was experiencing its warmest winter in twenty years.)
Their first night back, Ron and Hermione decided to take a walk on the school grounds. Hermione held Ron's hand tightly as they walked slowly along the black lake. It had been really important to Hermione lately that Ron was with her and for her.
The couple found a place to lie on the grass right underneath the stars. Ron and Hermione lay down, Hermione settling her head on Ron's chest, with a hand on her stomach.
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
"Hey, should we be thinking up names for the baby?" Hermione asked suddenly, catching Ron off guard.
"Well…I don't know, I guess we could…" Ron said, shrugging.
"I just thought, because I'm already four months along, so I just thought…" Hermione trailed off, and Ron could tell she was getting nervous.
"I think, if we have a boy, he should be named Ron Jr." Ron said, and Hermione laughed out loud. "What? I think the Ron legacy should go on with my child! Of course if we have a girl, she'll be Rowena." Ron said, acting as if this was the obvious choice.
"Okay, but if by the chance that I have a say in this decision, then I like the name Delilah for a girl, or Myron for a boy." Hermione said, as Ron stroked her shoulder.
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
"Oh, yeah, I like Myron, but Delilah Weasley? I don't know about that…how about…Journey?" Ron asked, and Hermione wrinkled her nose.
"Journey Weasley? Ron, come on, it rhymes." Hermione said, laughing.
"Yeah, I guess you're right…what about…Cassidy?" Ron asked. Hermione bit her lip thoughtfully.
"Cassidy Weasley still rhymes, though." Hermione said matter of factly.
"Yeah, but it sounds good!" Ron said, and Hermione had to agree.
"Okay, so, Myron if it's a boy, and Cassidy if it's a girl." Hermione said, and Ron nodded.
Suddenly, Hermione felt a small kick in the side of her stomach. She brought her knees up to her chest reactively, and sat up quickly.
"Ron, I think the baby just kicked me!" Hermione gasped, and Ron sat up quickly as well, putting his hand where Hermione's had been.
"Oh my god, I feel it too!" Ron said, and Hermione began to breathe hard. Ron wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her softly. "This is amazing, Mi! I love you." Ron said, and Hermione smiled at him.
"Wow, I can't believe it, this makes it real!" Hermione replied.
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
Yay I finished the chapter, finally! I promise you, even though I don't blame you if you don't believe me, that I will be getting the chapters out faster after this. The story's going to be moving along. I predict like 10 more chapters.
