AN: HARRY'S STILL NOT MINE.

*HERE IT IS. ONCE AGAIN, I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT AS MUCH AS THE PAST CHAPTERS.

*ENJOY

Ron was starting to come around. 'What the hell happened? Why can't I move?' he thought. He heard voices, and decided to pretend to still be out. After all, strategy was his forte, and he might be able to figure a way out of whatever sticky situation they were in.

"Now, Mollywobbles. You know we had to stun them. That was the only way to get them to take the antidote." he heard his dad say. "Now that we know it isn't someone under polyjuice, un-bind them and then we'll wake them up. They'll be fine." After he said that, Ron felt like was able to move again.

"I know, Arthur." he heard his mum say with a sniffle. "But, my baby boys come for a visit after all this time *sniffle* and instead of hugging them and welcoming them home, you allow Bill and Charlie *sniffle* to stun them."

"Come on, Mum. We didn't kill them. Just stunned them a little." Ron heard his brother Charlie say. "Besides, after seven years, what do you think Mione and Ginny will do to them, eh?" he added with a laugh.

"Well, speak of the idiot. Hello, baby brother mine." Bill said. "The jig's up. I know you're awake, Ron. You as well, Potter."

Ron opened his eyes. Bill always did know when he was faking being asleep. Ron never did figure out how. Looking to his left, he saw Harry sitting there, straightening his glasses.

Raising his head, he looked Bill in the eyes. "Hey, Bill. Long time no see, eh?" Ron said with a nervous laugh.

"Oh! My baby boy!" Ron heard. Before he had time to register what was happening, Molly had yanked him out of the chair and had him in a crushing hug. After she released him, she turned to give Harry the same crushing hug. "Harry! My dear!" Then, to both Ron and Harry's surprise, she pulled out her wand and started sending stinging jinxes at them. First at Ron, then Harry, then Ron again, and so on for about five minutes.

Meanwhile, in muggle London…

"Holy hell. You really are pregnant, aren't you?" Ginny asked. She and Hermione were having lunch at a little deli after some light shopping, and Hermione was halfway through her third sub sandwich. That was in addition to the two bags of crisps she'd eaten.

"Yes, I really am. Trust me. After the last few weeks of morning sickness, then all day sickness, then night sickness, I wasn't really able to eat anything. But now, I'm always hungry. Must be that special potion Severus made for me." she said, taking a bite of her sandwich. "Plus, they started making these sandwiches really small." Hermione said.

Ginny laughed. "Oh, Mione. The sandwiches are the same size they've always been. You're appetite has just gotten bigger. From the way you're eating, I'm throwing my hat in with Draco and saying you're having twins." She laughed harder at the glare Hermione sent her way. "Come on, it could be true. Look at your morning sickness. It was in the morning AND the evenings. Mum told me that's how it was when she was pregnant with the twins."

"Don't let Severus hear you say that. He's been more obsessive about this baby than I have, and I'm only two months along." Hermione said. Getting a teary expression, she smiled at Ginny and said, "It's actually been so sweet to watch Severus lately. At night, before we go to sleep, he'll spend an hour or so talking to the baby."

"Awww, that does sound sweet. Who would've guessed that Severus Snape was just a big softy?" Ginny said with a laugh.

"Gin." Hermione said as a warning. "Do you really want to start this? I believe I won the last time." She finished off her drink and stood up. "Hence the reason you just bought lunch." she added with a smirk worthy of any Snape or Malfoy.

Following Hermione outside, Ginny laughed. "Alright, alright. I'll be nice. Besides, you know I love 'uncle' Severus. And, I really don't want to lose and have to buy lunch again."

"Alright. Since you're being nice, I'll be nice, as well. You know I love Draco. Kinda have to, don't I?" Hermione said.

"Hey, he is your brother." Ginny said. "Now, let's stop by mum's before we go visit Lavender, alright? I'll bet you anything she's got a pie made just for you."

"Oh, I do love pie. Let's go." Hermione said, and started walking toward Maple Leaf Tower, the sound of Ginny laughing following her. "Not my fault the baby wants pie."

"Ouch!" "Stop it!" "Bloody hell!" "I'm sorry!" "MUM!" "Shit!" "Hey!" "Bollocks!"

Those words were the only ones said by Harry and Ron during their five minute hexing from Molly. She wasn't letting up, either. Each stinging jinx was stronger than the one before, letting them know just how mad she was.

"Man alive, look at her go, Bill!" Charlie said. He was enjoying this.

"I know. Do you think we should help them?" Bill asked.

"What? And get hexed ourselves? I don't think so, mate." Charlie said. He wasn't getting in the middle of this. Let them get their punishment over with. "Besides, she's just stinging them. We'll wait and offer our assistance when the boys meet up with Ginny and Hermione again." he said with a laugh.

Bill shivered. "I don't know if I'll want to help then or not. Ginny's got some wicked hexes, you know. And Hermione's always been scary with the hexes, but now that she's pregnant? I don't think I want to be on the receiving end of her wand right now."

"Yeah, alright. Hormones running all over the place combined with the sight of these two gits again? I'll just sit by and watch. Better them than me, right?" Charlie asked. The last time he got in the middle of anything, Hermione hexed him and he had to spend the night at St. Mungo's. Granted, it was an accident, but still.

"SEVEN YEARS! I HAVEN'T LAID EYES ON YOU IN SEVEN YEARS! NO LETTER OR PICTURE IN FIVE! NO IDEA IF YOU WERE ALIVE OR DEAD! NOT EVEN A SIMPLE 'I'M OKAY' AROUND CHRISTMAS! I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU TWO FOR FIVE YEARS! WELL? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES?" Molly yelled. It was like getting a howler in person.

"Molly?" Harry said tentatively. "We're sorry for that. You have no idea just how sorry we are for that. We wanted to write you so many times over the last five years, but we kept putting it off. We wanted to come back and visit, as well, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it."

"Yeah, mum. After our last letter, we wanted to wait until we were somewhat settled before we wrote again, but time just got away from us. Before we knew it, a year led to two, then three. Four. Then five. Besides, we were always rubbish at keeping up with letter writing. You know that."

"Yes, I do know that. But that was when you were at Hogwarts. Back when I knew where you were and that you were okay. For the two years after you left, I didn't worry as much because I knew you'd write. Then, the letters just stopped coming. The only way I knew you were both still alive was by your hand on the clock." Molly said, tears running down her face.

"We're sorry, mum. Really." Ron said. He slowly stepped toward her, and when he was sure she wasn't going to hex him, pulled her into a hug. "We would like the chance to explain it to the family. I know they deserve to know what happened to us, and we would like to tell them."

"I think that's a good idea. We'll also invite Neville and Luna. They're due an explanation as well, don't you think?" Arthur said. "But not today. We'll see if everyone can come over tomorrow. Maybe Helena could baby-sit the kids." he said, looking at Molly.

Just as Molly was about to go write letters telling everyone to come over tomorrow, the door opened.

"Hey, mum? Do you have a…WHAT THE HELL?!" Ginny said. She was just about to ask if Molly had made a pie when she saw both Harry and Ron in the living room.

"What are you yelling about now, Ginny?" Hermione said as she walked into the living room. After she shut the door, she turned and found herself looking directly at Ron and Harry. "WHAT THE HELL?!" she yelled, and Ginny burst out laughing.

"Now you know what I was yelling about." Ginny said. Turning to look at the boys, she crossed her arms and glared, just as Hermione was doing. Neither girl said anything. They just glared until smiles crossed their faces.

"Hey, Mione. Ginny." Ron said. He thought the smiles on their faces were 'I'm happy to see you' smiles. Harry couldn't say anything. He knew that smile of Hermione's, having seen it on her face when she was pissed off before.

"I've been waiting to see you for seven years." Hermione said in a too sweet voice.

"So have I." Ginny said in the same tone.

Before either Ron or Harry could open their mouths to say anything, Hermione and Ginny got their wands out. 'Uh oh.' both boys thought.

"SLUGGUS" Hermione yelled at the same time Ginny threw a bat bogey at both of them.

Without a word to anyone else, the girls turned and stormed out the door, leaving Harry and Ron covered in bat bogeys while throwing up slugs.
