~Why Me?~
Looking at the test in front of her, she couldn’t believe her eyes. When did they forget to cast the charm? They were always careful, since she couldn’t be on the potion. Laying the pregnancy test back down on the counter, she tries to think back to when they could have forgotten the contraception charm. Throwing the test away and washing up, Hermione headed to the kitchen in Grimmauld 12 to tell Fred the news. Just news, not good news, not bad news, just news. They had been together since before the war, but that was in secret. It was only until after the war, that the two decided to tell everyone that they were together and that was two years ago.
Two years of happiness and arguments and mild hexing, but they were in love none the less. Hermione had brought up the idea of getting married and starting a family, but Fred always changed the subject. Maybe, she thought, now that we have a little one on the way, he will be more willing to discuss the future with me. Finally reaching the kitchen door she stopped when she heard her name. Curious about what was being said about her, she casts an amplifying charm on the door.
“So Freddie, when are you and Hermione going to take the next step?” Sirius asked
“What do you mean? Like getting married and having kids? I don’t think that will be for a while, Mia has brought it up a few time but I usually changed the subject. I don’t want to be tied down in marriage or with kids yet, what we have going on now is good.” Fred replied
“Fred, you would be great with kids. You are wonderful with mine and Angie’s twins, why not have one of your own. And if ‘Mione is wanting to start a conversation about the future, marriage and family, why don’t you give it a chance?” George question
“Maybe because I don’t want to be like everyone else in family! We have been together since before the war and yeah I almost died and she was captured but that doesn’t mean we should be jumping into marriage and kids like the rest of you. Charlie and I are the only ones not married or have any kids, the rest of you do and I don’t want to give up my freedom to be tied down in marriage and to watch some snot nosed, pooping baby!”
Hermione was shocked to say the least, how was she supposed to tell Fred now after hearing all that. Canceling the charm, she headed back upstairs with tears in her eyes to pack everything that she had. Making sure that everything was in her bag, she shrunk it to the size of a necklace and put it in her pocket. Quickly wiping the tears from her eyes, she headed back to the kitchen for a second time that day.
Standing outside the kitchen door one more time, she listened to the three men speak.
“George, I understand that you are a family man but I am not and you’re not going to change my mind. Maybe in ten years, I’ll be ready to settle down but not right now.”
“Fred, listen to George and I. You need to talk to Hermione, she needs to know that you feel this way.” Sirius pleaded
Finally having enough, Hermione walked into the kitchen.
“You’re right Siri, I should have been informed but that is neither here nor there.” Hermione turned to Fred with tears flowing down her face “But if you want freedom from marriage and kids, then you have it Fred. As of now, we are done and don’t try to find me, you won’t be able to.”
And without a good bye to any of the men, she fled out of the kitchen to the sound of scraping chairs and her name being called. Running through the front door and down the steps, the three men were able to get one last glimpse of Hermione before she apparated away.
Landing outside a small cottage up on a hill, Hermione made her way to the door before softly knocking. After a few moments, a tired looking man with sandy brown hair opened the door with a sleeping toddler. Looking at his visitor, he stepped to the side and allowed her entry before quietly shutting the door and putting the toddler down in a playpen and covering him with a blanket. Casting a few charms over the sleeping boy, the man turned his attention towards the crying witch.
“Mia, what’s wrong? What’s happened?”
“Remus, I…I… He doesn’t want a family” was all Hermione could say before she fell to the ground crying. Scooping up the small witch, he made his way into the kitchen and deposited her in a chair before turning to put the kettle on. After a few minutes, he handed a steaming cup of tea to the sniffling witch.
“Mia…Hermione, why don’t you start from the beginning and tell me what is wrong. We should have enough time before Teddy wakes from his nap.”
“I don’t think I can right now, do you…do you still have the pensive I gave you?”
Remus nodded and went to go get it. When he came back, Hermione had already pulled the memories from her head and put it into a vial. Handing over the vial, Remus poured them in and went into the memories. Once out, he took the small witch in his arms and rocked her until she fell asleep.
Remus’ only line of thinking was “how dare he!” How dare Fred hurt the young witch that he has started to see has his own daughter. He had taken her in and helped through her grieving process when her parents died. He was also the first one to know about her and Fred, since it was a worried Fred that brought Hermione to Remus, when Fred couldn’t get through to her. Coming out of his thoughts, Remus gently picked up the sleeping witch and laid her on the couch. He turned to block the floo in that room so no one would wake her or Teddy.
Putting the same notification charms on Hermione that he does with Teddy, he went to the kitchen to freshen his cup of tea and to wait for Sirius to call him. It didn’t take long before the animagus flooed into the kitchen with a worried look on his face.
“Remy, is she here?” Sirius questioned
“Of course, but I doubt she wants everyone to know. So you have to keep that to yourself.”
“I will but how is she?” Sirius asked
Exasperated Remus answered “How do you think she is? The man that she has been living with for the past two years and has been dating for longer than that, said that he didn’t want to be tied down with either kids or a wife.”
“He is just young and stupid; I doubt he really meant it.”
“I hope you’re right, but I doubt that she will be as forgiving as she usually is. She was on her way to tell Fred some news when she overheard the conversation between the three of you.”
“What news?” Sirius was even more curious now that there was a secret.
“I am not going to be the one to tell you, that is Hermione’s news to tell and she will tell everyone if and when the time is right.” Remus said sternly.
“Okay, fine. But is she at least well? She is not dying on us is she?” Sirius worried.
“No, she is not dying.” Remus said with a smile. It was at this point that the alarms on Teddy started to go off. “I have to go get Teddy.” He said as he stood up and to get the small boy. When he got back, Sirius was still at the table and had a small snack waiting for the boy. Handing Teddy over to his “Unca Siri,” Remus went to make another pot of tea. By the time Teddy was done with his snack and the two friends were done with their tea, Sirius said his good byes and made his way back home to start dinner.
The second set of alarms, the ones on Hermione, started to go off just a few minutes after Sirius had left. It was only a few seconds after he had disabled the alarms, when he saw her run passed him and into the loo to vomit. Quickly putting Teddy in his playpen, Remus grabbed a glass a water and a cold flannel and brought them towards the bathroom.
Knocking on the door, he got a groan as an answer and opened it. His heart sunk, when he saw his little witch leaning over the toilet shaking. Setting the glass on the counter, he knelt next to Hermione and gathered up her hair, placing the flannel on the back of her neck.
The two sat in the same position until Hermione finally leaned back and into Remus with a heavy sigh.
“It really happened didn’t it? The baby, Fred, everything?”
“I’m sorry Mia, but it’s true. Now if you’re feeling better, I know a little boy who wants to see his Mimi.”
With a small smile, she picked up the glass of water and followed Remus to get Teddy out of the playpen once again and then to the kitchen to start dinner. Remus made pasta for him and Teddy, and set some crackers and tea on the table for Hermione.
The three ate in relative silence with the occasional noodle that Teddy would fling, but it was the first time that Hermione had smiled since she left. Picking up Teddy, she brought him into the bathroom and gave him a bath while Remus cleaned up the mess that his son made.
Once both adults were done with their tasks and Teddy was put down for the night, the two met in the living room with tea.
“Mia, what are you going to do now? You know you can always stay here, Teddy and I would love to have you.” Remus said
“Thank you for the offer but no, I am leaving. I don’t want anyone to find me.” Hermione said with a sigh
He knew who she meant when she said “anyone.”
“But” she continued “I will make sure that I keep you and Teddy up to date with my pregnancy, I just won’t tell you where I am at.”
“I understand Mia, but will you at least stay for the night? I will make up the guest room and you can stay here and get ready for your trip tomorrow?” Remus pleaded
“Sure, that would be great. Would I be able to use your floo? I need to contact the person I am going to stay with.” Hermione asked
“No problem, use the one in the kitchen. I will give you some privacy and go make up the room and put towels in the bathroom for you.”
“Thank you Remy.” Hermione said kissing his cheek and picking up the two dirty tea glasses. Heading to the kitchen, she put up a privacy spell and flooed the one person that she could now count on to get her out of the country. The conversation was quick and full of tears, but the person promised her that a portkey would arrive to her by owl tomorrow morning and would activate at noon. That way she could say good bye to those she needed to and pack up anything else. The two said their good byes and Hermione canceled the privacy spell.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Remus, but she wouldn’t put it past some people to slip him something to try and get information out of him. Leaving the kitchen, she went down the hall way and head for the loo for a quick shower and then to get into bed.
The next morning arrived too quickly for Remus and Hermione. Both knew that in order for Hermione to have a good life, she had to leave. The two had breakfast and played with Teddy during the hours leading up to her departure. With a quick kiss to both her guys, Hermione put her shrunken bag around her neck and picked up the coke bottle that was sent to her that morning. With a tearful wave, she was gone.

A/N: So this was little plot bunny that wouldn’t leave me head, so I decided to type it out. There is no Beta so shush and obviously it is not cannon, and will probably be a lot out of character so please don’t be too harsh. Now the question, is do I continue and if so should the next chapter be a time jump to after Hermione as given birth or should I lead up to it and try and make this a multi-chapter story. I was thinking that I would just do 2 to 4 chapters but if people like it, I can try and write it along with my Two Worlds Collide. Let me know what you want?
