Summary: Hermione is married to Ron, pregnant and life couldn't be better. Until he does something to muck it up, and Hermione receives a letter that changes her world
.
For the last three weeks, Pansy felt as if she had been walking on clouds. When she had come back to school on Tuesday, her classmates almost laughed at her smile, but she couldn't care less. She had gone to sleep the night before with a kiss from the girl she loved on her lips, and she had got another one as she left for school. The weeks blissfully continued in the same fashion; waking up, kissing Hermione, eating breakfast, kissing Hermione, school, home, kissing Hermione, making dinner together and then eating together and then doing some homework while Hermione did some work stuff or simply lounging on the couch, all with a lot of kissing in between. In the weekends they would do whatever, or just nothing at all. They had progressed quite a bit when it came to intimacy, although the jutting bellies didn't exactly help.
Today was Friday, and Pansy was on her way home. She was looking forward to a weekend of rest, just being with Hermione and relaxing. She was also quite excited; Hermione had been at the doctor's today with Blaise and had finally inserted the genes. Pansy had wanted to come, but her class had a project that was due the same day and Hermione had insisted that she was fine with Blaise.
As she made her way into the apartment and replaced the locking charms, she felt the emptiness of the apartment even before she had been through any rooms. Lately, she had been able to sense Hermione's presence, and she was most certainly not here. Pansy found it a bit strange, seeing as the appointment had been in the morning and she had taken the day off work, but maybe she had just joined Blaise for lunch, it was only two o'clock. She sat down with some school stuff and started working.
Two hours later, she became a bit nervous. She decided she could check with Blaise and Draco - Hermione was probably there - and walked over too the Floo. As she called out their place, she spun and was soon standing on the familiar green carpet. Two very surprised men looked up at her, in the middle of dinner.
“Hi, I was just wondering... is Hermione here?” When she saw the most obvious, that her girlfriend wasn't eating dinner with her friends, her voice had started shaking a bit, and she felt a knot tie in her stomach.
“Why? Did you guys have a fight or something?” Draco smirked at her whilst Blaise grinned like a madman.
“No. Just please, answer me.”
Pansy figured they must have heard some desperation in her voice as both faces grew serious and Blaise got up and walked towards her.
“No, she's not here. I haven't seen her since we said goodbye at the hospital.” The question in his eyes evolved to worry when Pansy's eyes grew big and she started pacing.
“Crap crap crap....”
By this time, both men were standing next to her and looking a bit scared. “What's wrong?” Pansy couldn't make out who said it in her worry.
“She hasn't come back yet; there was no one home. She would leave a note or something if she had gone somewhere.”
“Maybe she's just at Potter's place and forgot the time? Have you checked there?” Blaise's words made hope flare in Pansy's eyes and relief flooded her. She was with Harry. Of course.
“No, I haven't. She's there, of course. I'll go there now.” She turned around towards the fireplace and took a handful of Floo powder.
“Come back and tell us when you find her, will you?” She gave a nod and called out Harry's apartment, and again spun.
Harry and Charlie were just cleaning up their dinner, and the second time that day, two very surprised faces looked up at Pansy. She just smiled at them, and even though she knew Hermione had to be there, the little knot still resided in her stomach. Harry and Charlie had been told of Hermione's and her relationship a few days after they became a couple, and both had actually been a bit relieved, mostly because they had seen Hermione's feelings long before she did. The two men didn't exactly live together, but usually stayed over with each other.
“Hi, I where just wondering if Hermione was here or if you've seen her?”
“Why, did you have a fight?” If it had been any other situation she would have laughed at the fact that Draco's and Harry's thought were so similar. And the concern Harry showed didn't exactly invite to a laugh. At the panic in Pansy's eyes, he answered.
“Sorry, we haven't seen her since yesterday. Wasn't she supposed to be at the doctor's today?”
“Yes, and she was, but she hasn't come home yet, and I'm getting more and more nervous. She would have left me a note, but there was nothing when I came home.” Pansy could feel the knot growing in the pit of her stomach and the panic arise again.
“What? Have you talked with Zabini, weren't they supposed to go together?” Harry, Draco and Blaise had all reconciled, but neither became as good friends as to call each other by first names.
“I just came from there, Blaise hasn't seen her since he Flooed from the hospital.” Pansy felt the panic overtake her voice and she started shaking, keeping in the tears that she felt building up.
Charlie lightly touched her shoulder. “I will check with the rest of my family, you stay here.” Then he went to the Floo and where gone.
Harry walked over to Pansy and enveloped her in a surprising hug. Pansy hadn't grown up with a lot of hugging, and she was still getting used to Hermione hugging her all the time, but for once a hug from anyone else didn't feel awkward, but rather quite comforting. Suddenly her cheeks were wet with tears, a side effect of hugging when sad that she hadn't gotten used to yet, and she tried her best to wipe them with the back of her hand without Harry noticing. Something he, of course, did.
They hugged for half a minute, Harry making soothing noises, before they let go, and Pansy collapsed in the chair while Harry sat down on the couch.
“I... I just don't know what to do if something has happened to her.” She felt the tears coming on again, and started blinking like mad.
“She will be fine; Hermione is tough, she can stand on her own.” Even though he said this with as though he believed it, he was getting nervous too, and as Charlie flooed in again, he sprang up from the couch. Pansy did the same next to him, and they both looked at the redhead with questions in their eyes. But they were disappointed when he shook his head sadly. Pansy started shaking again, and collapsed against the chair once again.
Harry was thinking hard. When they had been searching for the Horcruxes together, they had learned plenty of spells that were very unusual, and one of them were used to find certain witches or wizards. Or rather, it found their wand. He got up and drew his own wand, concentration on casting the spell. When he looked up for a split second, he was met with confused stares.
“I know a spell we can cast; it finds a witch or wizard's wand, that way we may find her.”
Pansy sat up and Charlie smiled hopefully as Harry cast the spell he hadn't used in years. The end of his wand lit up, and he grabbed Pansy's hand. “Sorry, Charlie, I can only Apparate with one person.” He let the wand lead them and Disapparated.
They turned up inside the Hospital, right by the fire places. Pansy was looking around to see where Hermione could possibly be, and Harry looked confused. He mumbled something to himself as he took a step forward and stepped on something. As he bent down to retrieve it, he felt a growing fear, and his fears were confirmed when he looked at the item he would know anywhere; Hermione's wand.
?*?*?*?*?
Hermione said goodbye to Blaise as he flooed out, and was about to take a handful Floo powder when she heard someone call her name. She didn't recognise the voice, but it came from a wizard standing in front of another fireplace. As she closed in on the person, she felt there was something familiar about him, but at that moment she heard him utter a spell, and everything went black.
She woke, with no idea what time it was, and no idea where she was. She felt a little bruised and praised whatever protocol which made the mediwitch put a cushioning and general protecting spells on her stomach after the little operation. The room was dark, and as she laid there she tried to think of anyone who help a grudge against her; all the known Death Eaters were either dead or in Azkaban, and she didn't know of anyone else she could have wronged.
She tried getting up, and was able to sit up, but didn't have enough energy left to get further up. She tried finding her wand, but became a little panicked when she realised she had lost it.
Suddenly a door of some kind opened and a person came in to the room. Through the little light of the door she could see it was a man, presumably the wizard from the hospital. He closed the door, and turned a little light bulb on, and before Hermione knew what was happening, she received a blow to the stomach by a shooed foot. She groaned and curled up, trying to protect her stomach best as possible. As she received another one, she rolled and got a glimpse of the man. Suddenly her fears tripled. The wizard in front of her was none other then her ex-husband, Ron Weasley.
