How fast did I get this chapter up!? It's so weird. But I've had the flu since Saturday I think so I haven't been doing much. The flu sucks, by the way. So does my little sister. She's the one who gave it to me. =(

Well, I hope you like this one. It's a bit short but my last chapter was really long so, it doesn't matter. =D

Chapter 9: Ron's Worst Nightmare

Hermione was lying on her back in bed, reading through a Muggle baby store catalogue. She was six months pregnant with her first child and didn't want her baby to wear miniature robes. Just as she finished combing through the magazine, she heard a high pitched squealing coming from downstairs.

"Bloody hell" she muttered and forced herself out of bed. She drew her wand and walked as quickly as she was able, taking care on the stairs. After searching the study, kitchen and dining room, she discovered the source of the squealing in the living room.

Her husband.

Ron was standing on the couch, shaking with fear. His eyes widened in horror.

"Ron! Love, what is it?" Hermione asked gently as she stroked his cheek. He merely shook his head furiously.

After half an hour of futile coaxing, Hermione still had no idea what was causing her husband such distress.

Who the hell does he think he is? He can't just scream his bloody lungs out and then say nothing. Stupid git. I'm the one who's pregnant! He should be caring for me! Not the other way around! What a bloody wanker.

"That's it, Ronald! Get off that bloody couch this instant!"

He completely ignored her. By now he was laying on the couch in the foetal position, rocking himself back and forth.

"Ronald! If you don't get yourself up right now, I'll make you! I mean it!"

Still no response.

"Alright then, I warned you."

Hermione grabbed hold of his ankle and started dragging him off the couch. As soon as she started pulling, he started squealing again.

"NO! HERMIONE! DON'T! I CAN'T! DON'T MAKE ME! IT WILL ATTACK ME! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Ron screamed hysterically.

"What? Ron, what will attack you? There's nothing dangerous here. You're safe. Now get off the bloody couch. You are being completely ridiculous" Hermione huffed.

"Nothing dangerous? Of course there's something dangerous! It's right….It's…..It…..It's gone…I-I can't see it! It's hidden! Oh My GOD! Where the hell is it!? This is more horrible than when I knew where it was!" Ron shrieked his voice going higher and higher with fright.

He slumped forward with his head in his hands, staring at the floor.

"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

He leapt up and bolted out of the living room, out the front door and then Apparated away.

Hermione gazed after him with her mouth slightly hung open. She quickly shook her head and looked down to see what made her husband run away like a madman.

On the floor, roughly the size of a bottle cap, was a spider.
