The Night Before - NC-17
Title: The Night Before
Author: pica_scribit
Rating: NC-17 (some chapters)
Warning: Hermione makes a bad decision under stressful emotional circumstances. This decision has proved very unpopular with Ron/Hermione fans, but I am not writing a fluffy romance here. People screw up sometimes, even with regard to those they love. Especially teenagers.

Excerpt:
"Do we have to go through all the technical terminology?" Her tone now verged on impatience. "You know where babies come from, right?"
"Of course I do." His offended tone suggested that he did not see how this was relevant to the topic under discussion. "The man's potion goes in the woman's -- er -- cauldron, and they -- um -- stir it up and a new life starts."
Hermione could not decide whether to burst out laughing or give up and go back to bed. She stared at Ron in stunned amazement. "No! That's not -- it's because --" She shook her head. "Never mind. You just put this thing on and there's no baby, okay?"
