apter 1: Confrontation!

Confrontations!

Hermione looked at her Healer wide-eyed. It was her birthday, and she wasn't feeling very well at the celebrations. After vomiting for a second time, she had excused herself from the party and made an appointment at St. Mungos, which wasn't very difficult for one of the Heroes of war.

Her healer, Mrs. Cartmenis, had cast a diagnostic charm on her, and offered her a sympathetic but happy smile, then congratulated her for being pregnant. And now, she was in a daze. She was only 19 and she didn't even have a chance of restoring her parent's memory as International Portkeys took time to be arranged, even for a war hero.

But what troubled her the most was her baby's father. It was not her boyfriend Ron. She had ever been physical with only one person, and it had been her best friend- Harry Potter. She clearly remembered the date, 7th July - the day Voldemort had been defeated by the saviour of the Wizarding world. It had not been an easy win. They have lost many, including some whom they were very close to. Ron and Ginny had their family to lean on, and Harry and Hermione only had each other. It had felt just right, being intimate with Harry, looking into his emerald eyes felt with desire and love, as he made love to her.

They had felt ashamed the next day, not for being with one another, but for betraying their partners. Both she and Harry had been in relationship with youngest Weasleys. Harry had dated Ginny in their sixth year. He may have broken off with her at Dumbledore's safety, due to regards of her safety, but they had rekindled their relationship with a kiss when the trio had arrived at Hogwarts. She and Ron have also announced their relationship, that very day, with a kiss. Not her first one though. That like many firsts in her life, belonged to Harry. She doubted the green-eyed hero remembered it though. He had never talked about it again and she had dismissed it as him needing some form of comfort, after facing a large number of dementors.

She sometimes wondered if Harry ever felt trapped in his relationship with Ginny, like she did with Ron. It didn't seem like that, when she saw him with Ginny, though she doubted he would ever let it be seen. Harry was noble like that.

The Weasleys have done lots for them and she didn't want to repay their kindness with anything else. Her breath hitched as he thought of her boyfriend.

"Ron!' She gasped to herself, "What would he do when he finds out I am pregnant? He already felt shadowed by the image of Harry, even after being recognized as the Hero of the war. It will only seem to him like Harry taking one more thing from him."

With these thoughts, she exited the elevator when a movement caught her attention. She thought she saw a flash of ginger hair before everything went dark.

Ronald Billius Weasley was the sixth son of a poor wizarding family. Even after being part of the Sacred 28, they were looked down upon even worse than the Gaunts, who were at least not Blood-traitors, even though they were piss poor. He had been ecstatic when the boy-who-lived who he had shared the compartment in Hogwarts Express, had chosen his friendship over Malfoy's. Unfortunately, it came with its own setbacks. The Boy-who-lived, cast a shadow even larger than his brothers. He had tried his best to get some recognition, but in front of the youngest seeker of the century, the slayer of Slytherin's monster, the boy who faced a hundred dementors, the Triwizard champion and the chosen one, he was always overseen. It was the reason, he had chosen not to believe Harry when his name came out of Goblet of Fire. It was also the reason; he had asked his mother to brew Prewitt's family love potion which caused subtle feelings rather than immediate obsession to feed it to Hermione, when he found out Hermione fancied Harry and Harry fancied her back. His mother and Ginny were in when he showed them the dreams of being related to the Potters and living a luxurious life ever after with the help of vast Potter fortunes. He was happy when he was successful in planting feelings for him, in Hermione's mind, but it soured when he found out that even after being influenced by potions, Hermione always chose Potter over him. He had stormed out of their tent in rage, due to his failure in advancing his relationship with Hermione. He was very ecstatic when Hermione had kissed him back, in the Chamber of Secrets, and they had become a couple.

Today, he was planning to take Hermione on her birthday, making her his forever and sticking it to Harry Potter. But for some reason, Hermione had reacted badly to his lust-potion laced drink and had left for St. Mungos after vomiting a few times. He was worried that his plot with lust-potion would be found out, so after clearing the evidence, he had brought out the Deluminator, a great device Dumbledore had left him as if already knowing he would abandon Harry and Hermione and need a way back to them. It was connected to tracking and listening charms on Hermione, which activated whenever she called out his name. He then went to St. Mungos, waiting for Hermione to take his name and learn what was happening.

When he heard that she was Pregnant, and Harry was the one who was father of her child, he was overcome by rage. Harry had taken one more thing from him, and he wasn't willing to let it go this time.

He stunned Hermione as she came out of the lift and portkeyed her to one of the spots, the trio had camped while they were at Horcrux hunt. He then sent an anonymous note to Harry along with a portkey, that would bring Harry directly to a trap he had prepared. He then rennervated Hermione and welcomed her with a cruel grin on his face.

"Hello, love! How are you? Or should I ask, how's the little thing growing in your womb?"

Hermione was scared witless. She was in the forest of Dean, her hands tied, and she couldn't access her magic. Ron had somehow found out about her being pregnant and had kidnapped her. The expression on his face was something she couldn't comprehend. It felt her with more fear than Bellatrix's maniac expression. She knew that Ron would never stand a chance against her in a fight normally, but she was helpless, her access to magic somehow cut. 'Probably the cuffs', Hermione thought, 'they must have runic suppression tags'. If it had been Harry, he would have just overpowered the cuffs with his magic, but she wasn't a magical powerhouse like her friend.

"H-How do you know?" Hermione stuttered.

Ron again grinned and took out the Deluminator which he had received from Dumbledore, "This artefact here has tracking and listening charms linked to you which activate whenever you take my name. Wonderful thing, isn't it?"

Hermione looked at him in disbelief. An average wizard like Ron couldn't do something like that, which meant it was Dumbledore's work. With that revelation, many things that she couldn't put a finger on started to clear out. And as Ron's rant progressed further, it painted an even more clear picture.

"-didn't work properly. We had to overdose you both and still, you both went to each other's arms. The revulsion potions worked a great deal in 6th year but then until the last of the year, you both somehow built a resistance to it. And when everything worked out, you just had to get cosy with the Saviour of the Wizarding world and get pregnant with his sprog. D-Do you know the things I had planned for us tonight? We were going to give ourselves to each other and then I would have proposed you to marry me. Then we would have our own bunch of children with me working hard to make us all happy and you would have raised our children, just like dad and mum. Hell, I even had the lust potion ready, to make sure you would not let your hesitations ruin our night, but you just threw it up. I was afraid that the healer would find out my attempts of giving you potions, so I took out the Deluminator and waited in the basement, to spy on you and memory charm you if you had found out about it. But Surprise! Surprise! What do I hear? That my scarlet woman of a girlfriend couldn't wait for me to scratch her itch. She threw herself on Harry Bloody Potter and even got pregnant with his child!" Ron finished his rant ending in maddening giggles.

"It has to be Potter, doesn't it? Allways Potter. I risked my life by going with him to the Acromantula but everyone just talked about the mighty Basilisk Slayer. I nearly lost my mind when those brain thingy attacked me and all I heard about was Harry bloody Potter being the chosen one. I was the one who destroyed the locket horcrux but my girl showers Harry bloody Potter with attention. And now, he beat me to you and got you pregnant. How the hell is that fair?" Ron shouted his spittle falling all around in his rant, "But this ends today. I have sent him a note that if he wants to save you, he better take the portkey, which will dump him into the trap. But until then," He smirked lecherously and started undoing his pants, "I am going to have some fun with you!"

Hermione felt revulsion as Ron took his member out and started stroking it to hardness.

Hermione decided to take a shot at Ron. She smirked as she eyed his member, "If you want to compete with Harry 'Stallion' Potter, you need to do better than that 5-inch toy. I guess the rumour about stronger wizards having mightier swords is true after all. Because you are pathetic in both departments."

Ron was filled with rage as he heard Hermione's humiliating words. Along with jealousy of Harry besting him in yet another thing he nearly killed her there, before controlling himself. He wanted to see Potter shout in impotence as he took her before him and then kill all three of them, hence getting the last laugh against Potter.

"Shut up bitch, or rather why don't you use your mouth for better things?" Ron sneered as he brought his already hard member near her face. But before it could even touch her Ron let out an 'Omph!', as a strong banishing force hit him, and he was sent flying before slamming into a nearby tree painfully.

Hermione looked in the direction from where the spell might have been launched to see a furious Harry Potter whose eyes were lit with emerald flames.

"Harry!" Hermione called out in relief as he started advancing towards her quickly.

Harry Potter felt rather conflicted these days. For some reason, he didn't feel the same rush of excitement, he used to feel whenever he saw his girlfriend in his sixth year. He had broken up with her to keep her safe, before going for the Horcrux hunt, but he never missed her like people in love were supposed to do. He was just worried for her, just like he was worried for his every other friend stuck at Hogwarts. The other thing was Hermione. He had been intimate with her after the final battle. It wasn't something they planned, but they needed comfort and then it just happened. And he wouldn't hesitate to say that it was the best thing that ever happened in his life. Sometimes he just wanted to take Hermione and just go as far from everyone as possible. But he couldn't bring himself to do that to the Weasleys.

He was musing about these things when an owl, he didn't recognize brought him a note along with a palm-sized galleon. He was furious as he finished reading it. Someone had kidnapped Hermione, and he was asked to use the portkey to reach her. For a moment, he nearly did so before remembering the events of 5th year when he lost Sirius. He took a deep breath and started to go through his stuff. He was successful in digging out the time-turner that Hermione had given him. It was the same time turner they had used to rescue Sirius, but it didn't have enough temporal sand (powdered unicorn horn), to make a trip to even an hour back in time. Still, it did have Hermione's magical signature on it which can be used to plot the coordinates of the place where she might have been held. It was one of the things he and Hermione learned while trying to track the Horcruxes. Unfortunately, after creating one, the magical signature of the wizard changes, thus it didn't do them any good as every Horcrux had a different magical signature.

As soon as he got her coordinates, he prepared taking the hallows with him. No matter how much he tried to get rid of them, they would always find him. He held the Elder wand in his wrist hostler and the stone was linked to a chain as a locket. Finally wearing the cloak, he apparated at the coordinates, his invisibility cloak passing through erected wards as if it weren't even there.

His whole world seemed to shake as he saw the identity of the Kidnapper. It was none other than Ron. He decided to wait and listen to Ron's rant, so he might get a reason behind it. He was ecstatic when he learned he was the father of Hermione's child. He was disgusted as Ron accounted for the events that made him bitter of Harry. He was heartbroken when he learned that three important and trustworthy people were involved in potioning him, in order to manipulate his life. He froze when he saw Ron preparing to force himself upon Hermione before somehow feeling smug as Hermione complimented his equipment against Ron's pathetic pp. He broke out of his smugness as he saw the bastard was going to touch her and whipped out the Elder wand stabbing it in the direction of Ron.

"Depulso!"

Overpowered with his rage, the already powerful spell from the Elder wand supercharged and hit Ron sending him flying to a tree, hard.

"Harry!" He heard Hermione's relieved voice and moved towards her freeing her of suppression cuffs, Ron had bound her with.

Harry saw Ron trying to move in the periphery and he hit the bastard with a disarming charm. A transfiguration and animation spell later, Ron was pinned to the ground by a powerful-looking stone jaguar.

"You dare! You bastard! After going through so much together, I thought you would have come far away from being the jealous and bitter brat you were. But I see there had been no change!" Harry sneered at Ron, who was nearly sobbing at the sight of stone predator watching him hungrily.

"Harry! About that night, I am preg-" Harry cut her off with a tight hug.

"I heard Hermione and while I am somewhat nervous, I am happy to be a father, even if it may be too soon for us. I want to be there for it. I want to be there for us if you want to. If you don't then I at least want to be a part of child's life." Harry spoke, insecurity leaking through his words.

"Oh Harry!" Hermione sighed tightening the hug, "Of course, I want to. I was just afraid that you would not want to. I mean you are very young and to be a father, I mea-"

Harry cut her off once again, this time by placing his lips on hers, filling them both with joy and contentment. Something neither were able to, while being with the youngest Weasleys.

"Avada Kedavra!"

In just a moment many things happened. Ron, who was distraught and afraid a moment ago, felt hatred while seeing Potter kissing 'his!' girl in front of him. He saw green and then red. Procuring a spare wand from his pocket, he banished the stone jaguar away, before sending the killing curse at Hermione's back. At the same time, the stone jaguar pounced on him again and chomped down the traitor's neck with enough force to break it. Ron Weasley died on the spot.

Harry who saw it coming, shielded Hermione with his body as the green curse slammed into him.

"HARRY NOOO!" Hermione wailed but Harry didn't show signs of being hit with the killing curse.

He reached under his robes and brought out the time turner, he used to track Hermione.

"You used it to track me, didn't you?" Hermione asked after sighing in relief.

Harry nodded but before he could give a verbal answer, the time turner started to shoot green lightning out of it. Suddenly Harry's wand, stone and cloak, ripped off from his person and slammed with the green energy coming out of the time turner. A few moments later, Harry's Holly and Phoenix feather wand also got absorbed into it, changing the colour of the portal from green to fiery crimson.

"Harry? W-What is this?" Hermione asked shaking in front of energy being released from the vision in front of them.

"I-I don't know", Harry replied holding her closer as the energy took for of a portal.

"W-Wha-" was the last thing they both spoke in unison before they were dragged into the portal and the portal closed itself.
