“I’m not going any further, Professor. What’s Ron done to Hermione? How’s he involved?”
Releasing the Imperious but not the Body-Bind, Snape paced as he explained the Weasley’s callous choices to Potter.“Your ‘mate’ here has been forcing himself on Hermione —”“That’s Ms. Granger to you, you sodding bat, soon to be Mrs. Ronald Weasley!”
“She’s bruised in the expected places. As ‘Mr. Randy’ can’t keep to one woman, he’s infected Hermione with a sexually transmitted disease.”
“That’s a lie! Wizards don’t catch’em!”
“And you didn’t catch ‘it’, you ignorant git, your witch did!”
“She’s muggle-born…” Harry reasoned aloud.
“Hey — you might have given it to her for all I know!” Ron shouted in his own defense.
“You told Snape back there that she’d only been with you, Ron.”
“Hermione’s been infected for weeks to be this ill. She’s been taking my pain potions to keep him ‘satisfied’. Well done, Weasley! You’re quite the stud, aren’t you? Thank Merlin you used the contraceptive spells; at least she won’t have that to deal with!”
Snape and Potter recognized the look on Ron’s face. Ron either faked or screwed up the contraception spells to get Hermione’s compliance. Either way, an unplanned pregnancy worked in his favor; it would accelerate her march to the altar. She’d trusted him.“Poppy!” Severus shouted, flicking his wand over Ron before dashing back to Hermione’s bedside.“Severus — keep your voice down!” the healer commanded in a hissed whisper.
“Poppy, he didn’t protect her. Check her, please!”
In the hall outside of the medical wing, Harry released Ron.“Thanks, mate. Barmy bat, isn’t he?”Harry's punch lifted his best mate off his feet. Ron landed noisily on his back across the chairs in the deserted waiting room.“You forced her.”“Force? Hermione!? She’s a witch, Harry! If she didn’t want to be with me, I’d be a glass of piss right now!”
“Then why all the bruises, Ron? You didn’t even protect her!”
“Don’t get all high and mighty, mate! My sister’s breedin' your bastard right now! Pomfrey told mum.”
“We’re MARRIED, you heartless git! And we agreed it’s what we BOTH wanted. I never forced Ginny! Get out of here, Ron, before I seriously hex you. We’ll talk later, just… leave!”
Harry left the Waiting Area, rejoining Severus at Hermione’s bedside.The tableau above Hermione’s abdomen bore a striking resemblance to one Harry’d seen three months ago except his wife lay beneath the healer’s moving wand. Where Ginny’s images were colorful and dancing with vitality, Hermione’s looked grey. No sound came from the tableau; there shoud have been a quiet rhythmic beat.“What happens now?” a stunned Harry asked the healer.“The child won’t survive. Ms. Granger wouldn’t have survived the pregnancy in her condition. I’ll treat her infection and her injuries; things will take their course. She should recover, in time.”
“How far along…”
Madame Pomfrey laid a heedful hand on Severus’ shoulder before answering his whispered inquiry. In shock at Hermione’s illness and Ron’s contribution to it, Harry missed the healer’s response.“Almost three months, Severus. A girl child…”Neither Severus nor Harry heard the healer’s footfalls as she returned to her office.“My nephew…” Tears trickled down Harry’s face as he made his way to the chair opposite Severus’ on the other side of the hospital bed.“Niece…”“‘sorry???”
“Hermione’s child… a daughter…”
With the slowing of his own tears, Harry noted those of Severus Snape.“You love her, don’t you, Professor?”“Merlin help me… It’s happening all over again…” Severus sobbed, “I should have protected her. She’d have protected me…”
