She couldn't believe it, the father of her son, the man she thought she'd never see again stood before her.

"Hello Wesley," Draco was first to recover, " welcome back a lot has changed."

" I see that, Is he yours?" Ron asked gesturing to the freckled faced kid in his lap.

" No," Draco paused for a moment looking at the child, "he is Granger's his name is Harold."

"Does anyone else have kids?" Nevile stepped forward to answer this

"Hannah and I have a Daughter named Alice, Harry and Ginny have a son named James and they officially adopted Teddy when Andromeda passed about a year ago. Ron where have you been?"

As he began telling of his journey to find inner peace Hermione slipped out ran to the nearest lavatory and emptied her stomach, she sat on the floor and started to cry. She heard the door open and watched as Luna's shoes walked past then listened to the door shut. Just as she thought that it was an odd action even for Luna, she heard the door open again.

"Heeey hey baby, I wanna know ow ow if you'll be my girl" Draco sang softly

"I can't believe you remember that song." Draco laughed before answering,

"Who would forget their first muggle basketball game?" Hermione thought back to that night

Her cousin was on a high school basketball team in America and Hermione, and Harry thought it would be a fun and new way to introduce their magical friends to the muggle world. As they sat in the stadium, the marching band played at timeouts, and it seemed to the English visitors that "Hey Baby" was their favorite song to play. Draco had absentmindedly hummed it for weeks after.

" I don't want to talk about anything to do with him right now."

"I didn't bring him up." A loud "BANG" echoed through the bathroom followed by,

"Mummy!" Hermione laughed as she got up and left the stall she was locked in. "are you sad?"

"I thought I told you to wait with Luna." Draco scolded the child.

"You did" Harold smiled innocently up at Draco.

after they left the restroom, they journeyed down to breakfast.

Since it was Saturday after they ate the three of them walked to Hogsmeade, for a stop at Honey dukes and Zonko's picking up a few prank items before heading to the Longbottom's for lunch.

'Hi, Nev said he wouldn't tell me about the meeting till you got here, What happened?"

"Ron's back" Hermione's voice was soft as she looked into the eyes of the only person who honestly knew what his return meant.

"Do you know why he has returned?" Hannah's face had gotten pale as she spoke

"He is the new quidditch coach, he told us after you left, are you okay Hermione?" Neville asked

"Yes just in shock and nervous from seeing him." Harry and Ginny flood into the living room each holding a small boy Teddy, looking like old pictures of his father before he had been bitten aside from his blue hair, jumped down and ran to the backyard looking for Harold. James, his messy black hair already a dominant feature of his look, curled into his mother's chest and gurgled sleepily.

"Can I put James down for a nap?" Ginny asked a slight pool of tears in her eyes.

"Of course, Alice is asleep, but I'm sure there is room for him." Hannah smiled trying to hide the thoughts of which friend to comfort first. Ginny went upstairs, and the boys wandered into the Lounge. So Hermione first perfect she thought to herself as she turned to her friend. She barely had time to pull her into the bathroom before Hermione started to cry.

"How do I tell Ron I've kept his child hidden? How do I tell Harold a man he has never met is his dad?" The women didn't notice the small noses poking into the bathroom; the boys wanted juice, so they had gone looking for adults. What they found instead was a world of questions.

"Teddy, who is your dad?" The younger boy asked

"Well Harry is right now, but when I was small like James I had a different dad, he and mum got hurt when they saved the world and had to go away, so I got a Harry and Ginny."

"Whose my dad?"

"Let's go ask." The boys walked into the lounge to overhear more conversations.

"So he is back?" Harry asked with hope in his eyes.

"Yep saw him this morning, Hermione ran off after he started talking about where he had been." Neville updated the third of the golden trio who was absent from the meeting.

"Uncle Neville are you a dad?" a small voice interrupted the conversation

"Yes, Harold I am Alice's dad."

"Uncle Harry, are you a dad?" the men had a suspicion that the boys were treading on thin ice toward questions which they didn't know the answers.

"Yes, I'm Jame's dad and Teddy's adopted dad."

"Daddy Harry, what makes you a dad?" Three heads snapped to the older boy

"Well," Draco spoke first, "What makes Harry a dad is that he loves James, Ginny, and you more than anything else Teddy. However, What makes Neville a dad is that he loves Alice and Hannah more than anything."

Hannah's voice drifted into the room little boys lunch is almost ready time to go wash." and with that, the young ones dropped their interrogation and ran to the washroom. The conversation had peeked the interests of the men, and they shared a thoughtful look.

"Potter," Draco broke the silence. "Has she ever hinted at who his father is?"

"Not to me, but I have my assumptions."

"Care to share?" Neville asked taking an avid interest

"It's got to be a Weasley unless you have a confession to make Neville because she didn't talk to any males other than those brothers and the two of us during and after the war. Fred was already gone when he was conceived, Percy was already pulling away, Bill and Charlie were always more big brothers to her. Therefore I know Ron and George are the most likely candidates; They were both so broken when Fred died. It was war many turned to friends for comfort at that time and found something else, not that I think she would sleep with both of them I'm just saying that I think she slept with one, and with them disappearing it would make sense to keep it a secret."

"That would explain why Hannah calls him ginger. She knows who it is and has for years but won't tell me says the knowledge is for emergencies only." Neville couldn't believe he overlooked the nickname for so long it was an obvious clue.

"He is Ron's," Draco thought this was true for a long time, then this morning looking back and forth at the two it was impossible to deny. "That's why she ran off this morning and why the boys suddenly have those questions, I'll bet they overheard the girls talking about it." It made so much sense now how did they not see it before. "It is her secret we can't tell her we know." Harry and Neville nodded in agreement with Draco's statement, and they walked into the dining room to enjoy lunch.
