A/N: Hello I am so sorry for being late to upload holidays and real life took over. Plus on the day of my birthday at Jan 5, my net got cut off because my modem had problems and needs to be replaced, so I am here at BK using wifi to be able to finally upload a chapter. Sorry for the long wait to those who are waiting. Btw I just want to ask you the next chapters after chapter 5 isn't beta-ed yet. Is it ok if I upload the non beta version? Or are you willing to wait for the beta-ed chapters? And I want to thank my beta and friend rainsrabble for beta-ing this.


Hermione's POV:

The extreme silence was deafening because neither of the two wanted to say anything. Made more obvious by their refusal to meet my eyes. I was about to speak up and ask again where was Ron until Harry finally got the courage to speak.

"He's not coming Hermione."

"And why is that Harry? He should be here, after all I am his fiancé! He should be here worrying about me!" I yelled not being able to control myself from raising my voice. It hurts knowing that your fiancé isn't here by your side to comfort you with what is happening.

I needed to feel his presence to tell me that everything is alright.

"Because Hermione, you and Ron have been over for a long time. Ever since his birthday of 2000." Whispered Ginny.

No this can't be! Ron adored me. I can still remember our comforting/romantic dates after the Battle of Hogwarts, and the dates when we graduated and started our new chapter in life. And last to say was when he proposed to me in Muggle Paris near the Eiffel Tower, where he yelled his happiness when I said yes.

This isn't happening. This is just a nightmare, right? Maybe if I go back to bed and sleep I might wake up from it. I can feel the pity filled stares Harry and Ginny are giving me and I lay back on my bed to get further away. I shut my eyes, waiting for all of this to be over, and for my real life to return to me.

Nothing happens and I reopen my eyes.

I am still laying on my hospital bed here at St. Mungo with Harry and Ginny who remained quietly by my bed, waiting for me to react.

Even though I really want to believe this was all a dream and that I was still in my denial phase, a part of me knew that I had to come to grips with the whole situation presented to me.

"Do I still have a job at least?" I asked Harry and Ginny who flinched when I finally broke the silence.

They both shook their heads making it hard for me to believe that I woke up to a time where I lost everything.

I then sat up and asked again, "Can I at least get discharged? I don't want to stay here any longer."

Before Harry could answer my question, Ginny nudged him on the stomach and then revealed her wand saying, "Muffliato!" A silencing charm and other wards so that I couldn't hear them. All I can see were their heated body language, where It seemed Ginny was yelling at Harry, and Harry conveying a frown trying very hard to get a word in edgewise.

After what seemed like an hour, but may have only been minutes, Ginny finally took down her silencing charms and other wards and they both turned to face me with a serious look. It occurred to me that whatever Harry was going to say was scripted and carefully chosen words by Ginny. It must be bad if she felt the need to intervene, so I braced myself for another bout of awful news.

"Yes, Hermione after the doctor checks on you then we can get you out of here. But because of the investigation taking place at your... uhh.. ahm.. apartment and for safety purposes you can't stay there. So Ginny and I would like it if you stayed at Grimmauld Place for a while. If you need anything Ginny and I will be glad to help." Stuttered Harry a bit making me a bit suspicious of him when he then moved closer to Ginny and held her hand.

"Wait a minute, you are living together Harry? Does Molly know?" I asked shocked, focusing on what Harry had said.

"More like married Hermione with a second baby on the way." Said Ginny who winked at me and seeing Harry's flushed face it was true.

I had missed so much!
