The Year Things Got Tricky

Chapter 7

Part 7

*Hermione*

I’m glad I get to see mum and dad soon, but I know I’m going to miss my kids and family that I have here. I just need time, time to figure out if I really want to marry Ron or not after all we barely see each other and we all know he hasn’t always been the nicest to me. But he has always been there for me, sure Harry was too but after everything that happened in fourth year our relationship changed, sixth year was a living night mare for me, and then seventh year we were on the run and we kissed during the battle was that a smart move no was it a move that was needed yes, eighth year I went back to Hogwarts and I was made head girl with Draco as head boy. That year reminded me of the summer before fourth year so much and I was actually smiling and having fun again. After eighth year I left, I had to go look for my parents and nobody knew of this plan except Draco. That’s why when I found them I owled him before anyone else and he came to me not Harry, not Ron, and not Ginny, Draco came to my rescue. Everything comes back to that summer before fourth year. That summer Draco saved me from boredom and my life.

*Flash back*

Day 2 of being home plans sleep, go for a walk, not get bullied, and get a tan. Is this superficial I don’t think so I mean its summer and my parent’s just bought me a rather skimpy wardrobe. What were they thinking I am not a hoe. So I need a tan otherwise I will look stupid and out of place. Yes I know I should be excited to be someone I’m not even for a short period of time but I know Draco lives close by and what would he think?  Snap out of it Hermione, you don’t care. Then why do I care so much? I hate inner conflict it’s much harder than you would imagine it to be I mean you’re fighting with yourself. I seriously need a life or some friends in this town before I go crazy.

“Hermione dear come here please.” Oh my gosh what does he want?

“Coming!” Fake a smile you are happy to be home with your loving parents and whatever news they bring to you. I just hope it doesn’t include that pregnancy stick with the little pink plus sign. Just imagine them having a baby now, I’m 14 and have been an only child for the last 7 or so years. That is since Amber in the car accident when I was 6 or so. I did everything with Amber she was the best sister ever I wanted to be a big sister just like her, now not so much just call me a built in babysitter.

“We have some news; you are going to be a big sister.” I knew it, why, why, why? My life is over.

“No, NO, NO, NOOO that’s unfair to me, I had a sister I don’t want another sibling ever again.” They can’t do this to me, they can’t can they?

“Sweat heart it wasn’t planed it just happened.”

“Just happened, just happened things like this just don’t happen. There are things you have to do to conceive a child believe me I know I read about it at Hogwarts.”

“You did what now at Hogwarts?”

“Daddy stop being over dry mantic I said I read about it at Hogwarts not practiced that’s just ewe*shoulder shrug gross face*” I can’t believe he thought I had already had sex what does he take me for a Gryffindor sex god? No that’s not it I’m the Gryffindor princess, and a pure one at that.” Since this conversation is going nowhere fast I’m leaving.”

*End flashback*

That was quite the surprise even if I had known they wanted to have more kids I never thought they would after I turned 12 or 13 let alone 14 that was a shocker at best and when they conceived little Meagan and gave birth to her I was and still to this day shocked they even had her, but I love her. No one knows about her except Draco. And that’s only because he was my rock that summer. Yes I never mentioned to Harry, Ron, or Ginny how close we got and the memories we have, that was before and now my life again is in ruins and this time it is my fault.

I couldn’t sleep so I packed, and planed what I wanted to do with 9 year old Megan once I got to Australia. She is a completely different person than I am she is very athletic and quite enjoys spots like football (American soccer), and anything on ice and a field. Maybe I can convince her to go to the pool with me or something. She may be athletic but she also is very girly with long brown hair much like my own but not frizzy and she can manage it with little difficulty. That is the only thing I want to have from little Megan is her hair, but she is herself.

I can get through this, it’s just I don’t know how I feel anymore. I don’t know if I can forgive Ron for the things he’s said and done in the past and even now that were getting married I wonder if this is the last straw of our relationship. Yes I understand that I never told him who Marry and Angelo’s dad was but I had my reasons and I was going to tell him tonight but it’s a lot of work  to hide who it was. This was crazy, the whole situation was crazy Draco coming back into her life 5 years ago and never leaving, the twins, moving back to London, hiding the twins from the media,  Ron and her rushed engagement, and to top everything off Ron finds out about Draco before I can even explain. My life is in ruins.
