Okay, so I hope you are enjoying the story so far. I want to say a massive THANK YOU to those who have reviewed, favourited or followed me. It means so much to someone like me you don't understand.

I started writing when I was young, so most of my stories are very old and need re-writing, which I will get around to eventually. Right now, I want to focus on my new fic, and I hope people can tell the difference in my writing since my earlier works.

So as you can imagine, reviews mean a lot to me. It also shows me that people are interested, and I'm not wasting time posting them to my account.

''Ron, calm down.'' Hermione tried.

''You're shagging him, aint you? That's why you don't want me and wouldn't put out. Tell me, Mione, are you such a frigid ice queen to Malfoy, or was it just me? Are you that desperate?'' Ron accused.

Harry was just as angry ''SIT DOWN, Ron, you know nothing. Mione can be with whoever she wants. She's just not stupid to do anything with you. You know she wants to wait till it's right.'' his face then grew dark as he made a connection. ''Hang on! Is that why you went running to Lavender? Because Mione wouldn't do anything with you!'' He could feel his magic getting more potent with his anger.

Ron was standing and leaning over and sneered ''Why, you want a go at Mione too, do you? I mean, you've always had a thing for her. You probably only made her a Potter to cover up that you probably shagged her too and to hide the fact you betrayed your girlfriend.''

''I don't have a girlfriend,'' Harry said, dumbfounded.

''Yes, you do, Harry, Ginny, what is Ronald saying? Is it true? I mean the article in fourth-''

''WAS LIES!'' Hermione finally yelled, fuming and standing up. She wasn't going to listen anymore. She was shutting this down ''No, I am not involved with Draco or Harry. I was supposed to be dating Ron, but he only saw me a few times, too busy apparently to visit me in the hospital.''

''You were in a coma,'' Molly told her.

''Yes, Molly, I was in a coma but not forever. I still heard everyone and everything. Everyone came many times. Even Professor Snape turned up. Granted, it was to discuss potions, but he still greeted me when he entered and left, but Ron was nowhere to be seen.'' she informed her.

''I was busy.'' Ron snarled.

''Doing what exactly. Eating or sleeping? Perhaps flying your broom. The only time when you did visit before I woke up, you just moaned about how It wasn't fair your mum wanted to go back to Hogwarts and how Kingsley hadn't offered you the chance to void your NEWTS due to the war and how Harry was offered but turned them down wanting to gain his exams properly.'' she ground out. ''Then, when I was awake, you moaned about the rebuild of Hogwarts, told me how you were being branded a hero and how you were going to be able to work for the Chudley Cannons as a keeper because you defeated Voldemort, clearly forgetting it was a joint effort and that you abandoned us more than once.'' she finished angry.

''Rubbish, My Ron was with you the whole time-'' Molly began

''No, he wasn't running from the responsibility. He wanted a home-cooked meal and missed his bed. When the tough gets going, Ron goes running. He couldn't handle hard work or having to work for anything. He just wanted it handed to him on a silver plate, ignoring that all his siblings and Arthur worked hard for what they got or wanted and to be a success. Still, no Ronnie here was above d work.'' she snapped at Molly, wondering what her problem was.

''When Hermione was better, I heard the conversations myself. All Ron wanted to do was play quidditch, eat and kiss Hermione. He didn't care that she was recovering and in a lot of pain. He didn't care about her mental health, let alone her physical. All he did was argue and wind her up despite being told she wasn't to get angry or upset,'' Remus spoke up, the amber in his eyes glowing slightly.

''I wasn't going to rush into anything with you, Ronald. I wanted to wait. We had only been dating, if you can call it that, for a month maximum, and when I did get mobile, I found you at the castle when you were supposed to be helping rebuild, snogging and getting off with Lavender so I see how you really loved me, and how apparently you couldn't be without me and you wanted to be with me so badly because you loved me to death.'' she snorted ''Really how stupid do you think witches are.''

Tonks smirked ''Clearly, this Lavender was. If he tried those lines on her, it's no wonder she put out.''

''So don't you dare accuse me of anything of the sort.'' Hermione thundered.

''So, what? I'm a grown man, and I have needs. All men do. You are just a prude. I mean, you say I'm pathetic look at you, hanging around with Slytherin scum and Death Eaters. I bet that's what you are, isn't it, Mione, a Slytherin whore, or is it Malfoys' whore because it's one of them? It's the only reason he would bother with you. It's not like your hot or interesting, you're a boring bookworm, and no one is attracted to that.''

''STOP RIGHT THERE! How dare you accuse Draco of being a death eater? You know he didn't want that, nor did Professor Snape! They made mistakes, and they fixed them. They did more than you, Ron. They are brave men, and anyone would be lucky to be with them. Draco is my friend, he apologized for how he behaved, and I forgive him because, unlike you, he is genuine and meant it. On the other hand, you say it as much as Albus offers his lemon drops to people. You are the pathetic one, and you are the one who can't let go and want to believe that whole Slytherins are evil, well news flash Ron, not all Gryffindors are light and innocent either.''

Harry nodded ''Or are you forgetting you slept and shared your home and everything with the traitor who gave my parents to Voldemort and saw Sirius locked up for thirteen years of my life? You need to think back, not to mention the time the Gryffindors believed the papers about me after the fourth year. They're not all loyal either, Ron.'' he growled.

''Well, if you say you're sorry and you're not interested in Malfoy and dump the brats, I will take you back. I mean, no one else will want you anyway, but it's' okay. I forgive and will take you back so you're not alone forever. I mean, how lame would that be,'' he told her, not noticing the shocked and stunned looks on everyone's faces.

''Ron.'' Hermione began, shocked.

''Wait till I've finished. I will forgive you. I know you want me, and I will wait for you. I will wait till we are married, and then we can have children, and you can stay home and look after them, and I will study and get a job as a quidditch player and support you. But you must get rid of the brats. You won't have time to care for them after were married. You'll have our children to watch.'' he finished.

''Ronald Billius Weasley.'' Hermione bellowed, smacking her hands on the table and making everyone jump. They could feel her magic. Her hair was expanding and crackling with power. ''I will never ever take you back. I wouldn't take you back if you were the last human on earth! I would rather die than be with you. Those twins are my responsibility; it will be my decision if I ever get married and have children. I will be working as well as raising a child if I wanted children. I will bow to no man! And I will not bow to you. You disgust me. You DO not own me!'' she said in a deeply angry, calm voice that sent shivers up everyone's spines. Even Molly Weasley was silent.

Hermione turned to Molly ''I used to respect you, but not anymore. You are small-minded and pig-headed. You judge everyone, and you clearly believe in the paper over someone you claimed was both your children. You claim you love Harry like a son and me a daughter, yet you believe me and Harry would have a relationship, not to mention I would mess around with two wizards! When have I ever given the impression that I am such a person? I want nothing to do with you. I don't want your help. Just stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours if possible.'' She told her, ''But I warn you and Ron now. YOU attack or complain about Harry or Draco, or you badmouth them, Ron, I will hex you so bad that St mungos won't be able to help you, and you'll likely never father children or be able to practice making them.!'' she snapped.

Before continuing with Molly ''if you try to control Harry and this so-called fake relationship between him and Ginny, we will also have issues. He is my brother. I am his sister, and I will do all I can to protect him and see him happy if that's with Ginny, then fine, I'm happy. I'll be happy if it's with another girl, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. If someone from a death-eater family is innocent, I will be supportive because that's what you do for people you claim to love. You support family. He could run off and marry Draco, for all I care or any other wizard. I would laugh, tease him and then support him all the way.'' she told Molly truthly.

''I will do anything for those I love, Molly, but you won't see me helping them or excusing them for bad behaviour or making excuses for poor manners or treatment of others. If anyone I loved did something as horrible as Ron, I wouldn't support them. I'd agree with whatever punishment they received. Yes, I'd love them, and I would be there for them, but I won't condone what they have done. They would have to responsibility for the actions that I would happily help them with.'' she spat.

''You're going to fail. You know nothing of being a mother. Look at you. They will have nightmares, and you are scared, you're probably damaged for life, you twitching all the time, you're a wreck, Mione.'' Ron said nastily, ''You may be a pureblood now, but that will change nothing. You are still scarred; hell, nothing will cover that thing on your arm, no matter how you try to hold it. Who would want to listen to you whimper and cry every night? That's another reason I didn't visit Mione, because of your nightmares. They were annoying.''

Hermione froze for a moment. All colour drained from her face as she slumped in her seat. It was like the wind was knocked from her sails. She couldn't believe he would stoop so low. She looked around, noticing everyone for the first time since the row began and noticed they all looked equally puzzled, stunned, angered, disgusted and worse of all. They were looking at her with wonder. They were clearly wondering what Ron meant.

Harry had enough and pulled his wand out ''Say that again, Ron. Go on. Repeat it and see what I'll do.'' he said deadly.

''Harry dear, don't let this Scarlett woman get between you both. -'' Molly tried.

Harry just looked at her in disgust ''Stay out of it, Miss Weasley, it has nothing to do with you.'' he told her. ''Well, Ron, what were you saying.'' he challenged. ''If you want to talk about stuff, how about we talk about you leaving us in the middle of nowhere on our mission to kill Voldemort? Hmm. Or how about how you lost your temper again and said the taboo that saw us chased and hunted by snatchers? Or Ron, do you want to discuss how thanks to you, we were captured, and Mione was left to deal with the mad bitch, who your mother killed and got off the hook far too easy? If I'd have got to her, I'd have happily killed her.'' he hissed menacingly. ''SO go on, Ron, continue your train of thought, continue bad-mouthing and saying stupid shit and see where it gets you.''

Hermione shook her head from the daze she was in ''Harry, don't. He's not worth it. She isn't worth it. Just let it go. He's a lousy friend, always has been. All he cares about Is food and quidditch. He's going to be the one left with nothing. You, my brother, are going to go far. You will be an Auror before you know it. You are not only the wizarding world's hero but mine, and now the twins. You will be any future children's hero as well. Your just Harry to me, my slightly awkward brother, and pain sometimes, not to mention someone who doesn't think before he acts, but I love you. Ron has never seen you as just Harry, no matter what he says.'' she soothed him. ''Calm down so we can finish this meeting, and then you can spend time with the twins. They wanted to play with you, didn't they? You could also fill in Fred and Geroge for me while you're over there if you like.'' she told him.

Harry began to calm down but nodded. He looked at Hermione. He knew everyone could see his eyes soften at her request ''Okay.'' he got up, turned around, glared once at Ron and Molly and said his final peace ''I am not with Ginny, nor will I ever be, being with her was a mistake, she is and always will be Ron's little sister to me. I have no interest in her romantically whatsoever, and to be honest, some of her qualities are less desirable. She's certainly put herself about a bit during Hogwarts, and when I was on the run, don't take my word for It, of course. I'm sure you could ask about the portraits of Phineus. He was quite fond of Mione and told us all the gossip.'' he then walked away and over to where the kids and twins would be.

Draco now spoke up, tired of being quiet ''Despite what you think, Weasel Hermione is a kind and forgiving person. I know what happened as I was there, as you well know. If it wasn't for mother and me, you wouldn't have the help you needed to save your sorry ass.,'' he spoke coldly. ''Hermione forgave me, and I will forever do what I can to show her that her faith isn't miss placed and that her forgiveness wasn't mistaken either,'' he told them smoothly. ''Hermione is my friend now, and despite what you say about us Slytherins, we are loyal and will stand by our friends. We often have to have each other's backs due to people's beliefs that we are all evil.''

Tonks spoke up angrily ''My mother was a Slytherin and a Black. Are you saying she is evil and deserves to be thought of in such a way?''

''Your mum is different. She was like Sirius.'' Ron tried.

''Yes, she chose her own path and did all she could to escape it. Sirius also tried but look where it got him for a while, and look what it did to him trying to break away from my aunt and uncle. It almost destroyed him. Plus, my cousin Regulus as we all know now, wasn't so lucky and was forced to join Voldemort by his parents and wasn't strong enough to break away like Sirius or my mother. Like Aunt Cissy, mum was devastated by what happened to her when she left the family home, but she continued to fight even though she was made to follow that madman.''

Remus nodded ''I don't know what your problem is, Ron, but Hermione is like my Neice, like Harry is my nephew. I will do anything for them. Hermione is also Teddy's godmother, and I wouldn't have it any other way. She forgave me when I almost killed her in their third year, and she helped me with my aches and pains by brewing potions. She discovered my secret before anyone, and never once did she go tell people. She kept it quiet and even spoke to me. She never treated me any differently. Look at her actions and ask yourself whether you deserve someone like that as a friend because I can tell you now, had Sirius been here, he would have hexed you by now. He was protective of Hermione just like he was Harry.''

Still angry, Minerva spoke up ''Albus, I don't see a reason for Mr Weasley or Molly to be here still. If they're not going to help, they may as well leave.''

Albus nodded ''I agree, Mr Weasley. I have never been so disappointed to have been a Gryffindor in my life till now. I do not condone your actions towards Hermione, Harry or young Draco. You will change your ways, or you will be starting will end up serving detentions for the rest of the year or worse, expelled.'' he warned him he wasn't playing. It was time for a change.

Arthur was deeply ashamed of his wife and son. He wanted answers ''I think I will take them home. I believe some discussions need to happen.'' he looked from Albus to Hermione. ''Hermione, despite some members, you have always been like family to me, and I'm sure the others will agree all accept these two,'' he said, nodding to his wife and son. ''I will do all I can to help keep you and, by extension, the twins safe. You got my support. Let me know when I'm needed and what I can do.,'' he told her with a small smile. ''Tell Harry the same won't you.''

He then looked to the Malfoy boy ''I hope you will forgive my son's accusations. For what it's worth, many people were made to do things they didn't want, and I saw the help you gave during the war and lead up to it, both you and your parents.'' Arthur took a deep breath ''Thank you for helping the twins as well. If you hadn't used a spell to push the boys apart... Well, we all know what would have happened.'' he said, shaking the young man's hand.

Arthur looked around and decided action was needed. ''Weasley's home now we are having a family meeting. I want this sorted now,'' he commanded them, letting them know he wasn't messing around. He watched as the twins came around the corner and followed them and their siblings out of the room. He knew they were fuming with their brother for his treatment.

''Well, that went well,'' Tonks added, making Hermione laugh, the anger and upset pouring away from her laughter.

''Awe, I love you, Tonks. You know that, right.'' Hermione teased back, smiling,

''Of course, who wouldn't.'' she joked back, watching as everyone else chuckled or smirked in Draco's case.
