Chapter 7: Accio Ginger
The following morning, Hermione woke to find Harry’s arm protectively resting atop her growing baby bump. She glanced lovingly at his sleeping form behind her.
However, a loud crack heard coming from outside the tent startled her out of her reverie. Grasping Harry’s arm, she gently nudged him awake, alerting him to the possible danger.
“Harry, I think someone just apparated outside,” whispered Hermione.
Dressing quickly, they both exited the tent; Harry protectively took the lead, keeping Hermione at a safe distance behind him, wands held at the ready.
Squinting in disbelief at the sight before him, “Ron?” he questioned.
“Hey,” replied Ron, smiling shyly.
Looking disheveled and exhausted, Ron stood before them clutching his shoulder bag’s strap with one hand, a sword in the other.
“Is that…?” ventured Hermione.
Holding it up for closer inspection, “The sword of Godric Gryffindor,” Ron replied.
“Where did you find it? And, how did you find us?” asked Harry.
“After I left, I knew I couldn’t go home. So I stopped in various inns & pubs, keeping away from some Snatchers. I was hiding behind a pub’s bar one night, when, from the corner of my eye, I noticed a bright light coming towards me. It was a Patronus, a doe. I can’t explain it, but somehow I knew it wanted me to follow it. Leading me to a dense patch of woods, it paused, standing in the middle of a frozen lake. Its glow dipped below the surface, illuminating something metallic at the bottom. I took a chance, broke the ice, and dove for it,” explained Ron.
“And the doe lead you to us as well?” asked Hermione.
Ron nodded his reply.
“I wanted to come back as soon as I left. I just didn’t know how to find you, until that Patronus lead me,” said Ron.
Ron exchanged a brief look with Harry, who nodded in acceptance of his informal apology.
Casting his gaze to Hermione, Ron finally noticed the growing bump in her stomach.
“What’s been going on here?” Ron asked, eyes narrowed and gesturing his head in her direction.
“It’s a long story….come inside, sit down and we’ll explain everything,” Harry replied cautiously.
Entering the tent, Harry & Hermione sat across from Ron at the large table; where they recounted the events following Ron’s departure; without going into extravagant detail about their sexploits.
“Which is how I became pregnant,” Hermione explained further.
“With twins,” added Harry.
Both Harry & Hermione hesitated, studying Ron’s face for any possible reaction when he suddenly burst out laughing. Standing up and walking away from the table, he began to pace back and forth.
Harry and Hermione both stood, watching him cautiously.
“You’re kidding me, right?” Ron asked.
When they only continued to stare at him with guilty faces, he continued.
“So, I walk away….AND YOU DECIDE TO FUCK THE WOMAN I LOVE?!” Ron shouted at Harry.
Harry moved instinctively in front of Hermione, shielding her from Ron with his body; protecting her in case Ron decided to lash out, lost in his anger.
Placing a hand softly on Harry’s shoulder, appreciating the gesture, she stepped in front of him to properly address Ron.
Hermione interjected, “Ron, we didn’t plan for any of this to happen! We explained this to you. The locket overcame me. It affected Harry as well.”
“Right, I heard you the first time,” replied Ron coldly. “So where do we stand now?” he continued.
Hermione briefly exchanged a thoughtful look with Harry, before continuing.
“Ron,” she approached him slowly, “I understand that you’re angry. But we were never together. I admit I had feelings for you, but I don’t think we could have ever had a real relationship. I’m sorry you had to find out this way….but, I do love Harry,” she paused, “and I intend to be with him.”
Ron glanced at Harry, “And you? What about Ginny? How do you think she’d feel about all this? Do you even feel guilty at all?”
“Of course I do, Ron. But Ginny and I broke up, remember? We’re not together anymore,” said Harry sympathetically.
Ron’s mind was clearly racing, still fuming with anger.
Harry remained quiet, but moved forward to take Hermione’s hand in his, comforting her, while awaiting Ron’s reaction.
Ron took a moment, casting his eyes between Harry & Hermione…and her growing stomach.
“I get it. I do. I came back to help fight in this war, so I’ll stay. But I’m not alright with any of this….not yet anyway,” replied Ron, walking over to the empty cot, on the far side of the tent, placing his bag down on the floor, and laying down to sleep.
Turning to Hermione once he was sure Ron had passed out, “Well that went well,” replied Harry sarcastically.
