AN: Not mine.
Enjoy!
The Burrow echoed with laughter and warmth as the extended Weasley family gathered for a joyful reunion. Amidst the cheerful chatter, Hermione and Viktor exchanged a glance, their hands intertwined with a shared secret. Tonight was the night they would share the news of their impending parenthood.
As the news rippled through the room, friends and family offered hearty congratulations, enveloping Hermione and Viktor in hugs and well-wishes. However, amidst the jubilation, Ron's expression darkened, his heart sinking as he grappled with the reality of Hermione's growing family.
His attempts at a congratulatory smile felt forced, and the room seemed to close in on him. The woman he had once loved was now carrying the child of another man, a realization that left Ron grappling with a mix of emotions.
In a quiet corner of the bustling celebration, Hermione noticed Ron's distant gaze. Concern etched her features as she approached him. "Ron, are you okay?"
He mustered a weak smile. "Yeah, just processing. I'm happy for you, Hermione."
As Hermione rejoined the festivities, Ron's smile wavered, and he turned away to hide the pain etched on his face. The ghosts of unspoken feelings lingered, overshadowing the joyous occasion.
The celebration continued, but the revelation left a bittersweet aftertaste. Hermione and Viktor reveled in the love and support of their friends, unaware of the silent heartache that echoed within the heart of the red-haired friend who had once harbored dreams of a different future with Hermione.
Review please.
