Emptiness Heart

Summary: It's been nine years since the Second Wizarding War ended a lot has changed over the years for Hermione Potter 'nee Granger, wife to Harry Potter, mother of nine children James Sirius Potter 'Jamie' (OC), Seth Oliver Cameron Potter (OC), Liliana Luna Potter 'Lily' (OC), Evelynn Sophia Carson Potter 'Evie' (OC) and Harrison Jacob Daniel Potter 'Henry' (OC) (Harry & Hermione's children-Quintuplets 'quints') then there's their godchildren Roselynn Taylor Dove Cameron Weasley-Potter 'Rosie' (OC), Daisy Jasmine Marie Weasley-Potter 'DJ' (OC), Amelia Susan Weasley-Potter 'Nia, Lia, or Amy' II (OC) and Hugo Joseph Shane Weasley-Potter (OC) (Ron & Susan's children-Quadruplets 'quads'). Hermione immediately gained full custody over the children after learning the truth that both her husband Harry and their best friend Ron Weasley got killed from the raid of death eaters in St. Mungo's while Ron's family got murdered being burned alive by a fire explosion much to their horror. It took three years for Hermione Potter to realize that she needed a fresh start, away from the memories of the war, the deaths, the tortures, the nightmares by moving across the country to heal, move on with her life knowing her husband Harry and their friends would want them too to heal, move on with their lives and started preparing herself for the move, enrolled into school well more like pretending to be the 'new student' where she's really the 'mysterious new boss' that is in charge of the changes in the whole entire town La Push High, Forks High and the Black PearlAcademy of Magic, building a mini town around her private property to get away from the paparazzi, the memories and most of all the horrors of the war and won't be going alone with her extended family coming along what could go wrong?

Hermione remeets her childhood friends Mike Newton 'Mikko' who she used to babysit as a child, Sam Uley, Leah Clearwater, Jacob Black & Seth Clearwater who happens to be shapeshifters (Quileute wolf tribe) her little cousins Quinn and Alex with their friends who are magical being a half blood wizard and witch where they inherited from their father Charlie while being a shapeshifter that's a big surprise for the family but, supportive of the twins to be careful and the Cullens (vampire clan) What happens when they all learn about Harry Potter's death along with their friends who lost their lives that left Hermione quite distant, an empty shell and keeps herself away from the crowd that left them quite worried especially Jacob Black 'Jake', Seth Clearwater & Mike Newton (Mikko) who always considers Hermione as his sister while Jake and Seth well—they both *imprinted* her, who silently agreed to become her rock, her shoulder to cry on whenever she's upset, who will love her until entirely, to gain a family of their own if they wanted too. What happens when a ghost from Hermione's past (*cough*Harry Potter her late husband *cough) comes back from the dead when he wasn't dead at all but, being in hiding as he needed to control his powers after receiving his creature inheritance as a shapeshifter of a werecat who can have one-three mates. What happens when Bella Swan comes back early in Forks from her visit to see her mom in Arizona and learns that not only Jacob moved on but, got together with her estranged cousin Hermione who she doesn't get along with as she couldn't help but kept seething with jealousy, envy, etc despite how she's supposed to be 'engaged' to Edward Cullen so why does she care? Jealous much? What will happen next? Well I don't know for sure yet, but we'll have to wait and see, don't we? Let me know what you guys think?

Chapter One: Saying Goodbye to Old Memories

Hermione Potter 'nee Granger walked through the now deserted household of her childhood home with her family. It looks so empty without the lives that used to live in this house. The lives that have been taken away by the hand of Bellatrix Lestrange and her husband Rodolphus Lestrange and the death eaters that were after her and her two best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

After learning what happened to her parents Dan & Emma Granger; Jay, Ariel and Hermione Granger were quite devastated, the only one in her family are her brother Jay, her sister Ariel being her only family left besides their uncle Charlie, the twins Quinn, Alex and their older sister who's her estranged cousin Isabella as she prefers as 'Bella' but, ignored her whining and protest by calling her Isabella just to spit her then there's her cousins from all over the world in her dad's side, it's a long list as she always been fond and close to her cousins except Isabella. She mentally shivered at the memory of the death of her parents.

It was one of the worst experiences of her life; luckily she called for help that her siblings Jay and Ariel managed to kill most of the death eaters as they tried to rescue their parents, but it was too late because Greyback werewolf bit her parents that left them to die slowly. The damage was done ... as soon as the memory entered her head she blocked it out. It was one of those things that Hermione had learnt to stop people from entering her mind, yet now she's used to it as a coping mechanism and hates when unwanted visitors try to read or enter her mind without her permission.

After the war ended, Hermione busied herself with work balancing to plan the wedding for the 2nd time—the happiest day of her life with everyone she cared about. This was before her parents got killed, a year before Harry and Hermione expecting Quintuplets, her uncle Charlie, her youngest cousins Quinn and Alex, her uncle Billy, uncle Harry and auntie Sue with their children being her childhood friends were invited to the wedding but, the only people who wasn't invited was her estranged cousin Isabella and her aunt Renee as she stopped contacting with either of them as she didn't want any drama to ruin Harry and Hemione's wedding neither of them needed that.

The wedding was perfect just like they hoped it would be, their friends and love ones were the only ones who were invited in a private island, the only people who would be invited was a private port key that Hermione invented no reporters or unwanted visitors; it was that protected due to the Potter's family heritage bloodline. It felt like it was only yesterday when Harry and Hermione decided to tell their best friend Ron about their relationship, it made the girl chuckle over that memory, learning the truth about his two best friends Harry and Hermione are now dating as they kept their relationship a secret for nearly a year and 2 months until they both decided to tell him during their school term during 6th year in Hogwarts. At first they both thought that Ron wouldn't be their best friend anymore, accusing them for betraying him or getting upset which he was at first but, in their surprise he took the news rather well after calming himself down.

[short flashback before Hermione's 6th year in Hogwarts] …

At the Great Hall, Harry Potter, his wife Hermione Potter 'nee Granger waiting for Ron to finish as they all agreed to head back to Gryffindor Tower as they bid their goodbyes to their friends as they headed back to their common room.

"Hey Ron there's something that Mia and I have to talk to you about…" Harry began to say as they headed back to the Gryffindor Tower after dinner, as they were both nervous and torn on how they're going to explain to Ron that they're in a serious relationship, as they both kept it over a year and 2 months by deciding to tell him the truth "It's rather important we talk about this alone just the three of us," he explained.

Ron looked rather confused eating the last of his dinner "I agree we do need to talk mate since I also need to talk to you guys too and let's head back to Gryffindor Tower and talk there since they're still in the Great Hall for dinner," he explained.

"Ronald, how many times must I tell you not to eat with your mouth full," Hermione scolded him "It's rather rude," she quickly added.

Ron rolled his eyes knowing Hermione "Sorry," he swallowed his food as they headed inside the common room inside the Gryffindor common room after saying the password noticing it was empty and walked to their original spot talking by the fireplace, clearing his throat sitting down on the couch "So...what's this important discussion that we have to talk alone guys," he explained.

"Well I'm glad you asked Ron but, will you promise us something?"

"Promise you what… Mione?"

Hermione held her breath staring at the window for a moment then turned back to Ron "That you won't lose your temper and hear us out first… your opinion means so much to us since you're our best friend Ron … you're family and our best friend to us you know that don't you," she explained.

"You're my best friend too Mione just like Harry is," Ron looked rather confuse and looked a bit offended "You guys are practically my family since we were 11 years old you know that,"

Harry and Hermione both knew Ron meant every word to this "Good… I'm glad we're in the same page," Harry began to say holding his breath "Because after everything we've been through … no matter how many fights or arguments we had over the years in the end of the day we're still best friends...and we just wanted to make sure you're okay with what we're about to tell you that's all…"

"We have been through a lot even from the arguments and fights we had… I'm always gonna have you guys back, you know that, don't you?" Ron explained.

"Of course Ron just like I know you two have my back right?" Hermione pointed out.

"Always… so what's this about… you're beginning to scare me…" Ron looked rather confused, noticing how nervous Harry and Hermione were "It's not like you guys are going to die right?" he asked jokingly.

Harry and Hermione chuckled nervously "No we're not going to die we hoped to live a long life just like you hoped you would right?" Hermione began to say sitting down on the couch "Let's sit it's going to be a long night," she explained.

"Sure" Ron began to say, noticing his two best friends Harry and Hermione sat down next to each other "So um…what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked.

"Before we tell you can you promise us that you'll hear us out first and won't lose your temper," Hermione explained.

"Mione I always hear you guys out," Ron pointed out.

"No offense mate but, this is for your good so will you promise because after we tell you the truth … you probably won't think of us as your family anymore…" Harry pointed out.

Ron looked at Hermione who gave a bambi look then Harry who had a pleading look then gave a tired sigh "I hardly doubt that since no matter what happens between us we'll always be a family, best friends till the end," he explained.

"You promise that you'll hear us out Ron Gryffindor Honor," Hermione nervously asked.

"I promise that I solemnly swear that I won't lose my temper and hear you guys out Gryffindor Honor but, for me to keep my promise you have to tell me what's this about?" Ron explained.

"I know we just want to make sure we're on the same page and it won't change your opinion about us right?"

"I agree and of course not but, as stated you two have to tell me what's going on? Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine Ron why do you ask?"

"Well whatever you guys have to say … you keep dodging my question no matter what happens between us nothing is going to change my opinion on you guys or stop me from being your best friend because we're family, best friends till the end Gryffindor Honor,"

Hermione whispered to her husband Harry "He seems serious … what do you think Harry do you think he'll be able to handle it?"

"Yeah I think so…since he's a Gryffindor they always keep their promise Mia," Harry whispered back.

"That's true…" Hermione murmured.

"So are you going to tell me what's this about or what?"

"Okay..okay… but, can I just add one more thing?"

"Go ahead,"

"Do you trust us?"

Ron looked at her weirdly "Yes, of course I do with my life you know that unless you don't trust me?" he asked.

"Of course I trust you I just wanted to make sure...Harry do you trust Ron,"

"With my life and I trust you with my life too Mia,"

"Good… since that's out of the way…" Hermione began to steady her breath but Ron cut her off.

"Hold on, why are you asking me if I trust you guys? You should know that I trust you both already don't you?"

"Of course we do,"

"Then why are asking me if I trust you guys,"

"No particular reason …I just… after everything we've been through so much together and I don't want anything to ruin our friendship … and we both trust you with our loves no matter how many arguments or fights we had over the years we'll always have each other right Ron," Hermione explained.

Ron looked at Hermione oddly "Mione your beginning to scare me a little… of course we're best friends…are we okay?" he explained.

"Of course we're okay at least I hope we are… we're best friends...at least I hope we are… after we tell you the truth…" Hermione began to say mumbling under her breath in French not noticing Ron and Harry staring at her weirdly "Especially since...we have a lot to plan for that secret mission that we have to do soon…" she explained.

Ron slowly nodded at this listening to Hermione silently "Yeah we do… " he sighed tiredly "I think I know what you wanted to talk to me about … considering we're not coming back next year in Hogwarts," he explained.

"Exactly with everything going on … Harry and I ...we've… been keeping something from you and neither of us can hold it anymore because we don't want you to feel like we kept you in the dark since we're best friends and we've been through so much together that nothing will ever, ever, ever, ever change between us even if you hate us… we can never hate you… no matter how stubborn, hard-headed, insensitive jerk you can be, even when you can be a total completely arse sometimes we'll still love you just like we know you'll love us right,"

"Exactly Mione since we never keep secrets from each other because I feel the same way," Ron cried out thinking Hermione knows exactly how he's feeling, but apparently it's the opposite that Harry and Hermione are feeling "Since I also need to tell you guys that I'm—" he was cut off by Hermione's rambling once more.

"And before you jump into conclusion or blame us that we kept this from you Harry and I talked about this multiple times on how we were going to tell you but, after what happened with Sirius last year..a lot of our emotions were … conflicted and it didn't seem like it was the best time to tell you the truth, we didn't really talk after that I suppose we were too busy with other things," Hermione began to say pacing back and forth rambling while the boys Ron and Harry watched her pace back and forth repeatedly trying to open their mouth but, she kept cutting them off "And you know for you being our best friend we didn't know how you react over this, we been through so much together, through the bad, the good, through our ups and downs arguments over the years because by the end of the day we'll always be best friends not even our relationship is going to change that between us," she explained.

"Um… Mia luv Ron is trying to tell us—" Harry tried to intervene but, apparently his wife Hermione was getting to the main point and cut him off not listening.

"And it's been so hard not to tell you Ron it really has but, with everything going on we didn't know who to trust obviously that didn't mean we didn't trust you, of course we do. It's just sometimes it hard to talk to you sometimes," Hermione sighed tiredly not noticing Ron gawk look about to open his mouth but, was cut off as she continued to talk "Although now that we think about it… we were planning on telling you this past summer but, then we gotten so busy that neither of us had one of our serious talks and we'd been debating how to tell you about us until we actually talked and we'd—" she stopped to realize what Ron and Harry said turning to them "Hold on … feel the same way towards who exactly… Ron?" she explained.

"For us," Ron rapidly got into the conversation making Harry and Hermione pale not noticing their expression "As best friends since it's been killing me that I've been hiding something from you guys too with the war going on, losing Sirius… I wasn't sure how you guys would react either…"

"Oh dear…" Hermione looked worried, staring at her husband Harry who looked rather pale than normal from his response then started to show some color "Err… Ron… how do you feel…?" she asked.

"About what?"

"About … Harry and I …"

"You two?...you guys are best friends like brother and sister? You guys have always been close just like I'm close with you guys right?"

"Right… yes, yes that's exactly it… we have been rather close since … 1rst year… but, uh you know once you grow up feelings tend to change… over the years… and … you develop feelings for the other person… ya know, it's like… you know a person for so long…that you don't know how you're feeling… it's like you see them… as if you can't live without that person … forever…"

"Yeah, it's like your reading my mind Mione it's like one minute you guys are best friends as if your feelings hasn't changed then the next day you notice something different about them…you can't pinpoint what but, something changed between you two… especially when it comes with your feelings and you have no idea how the other person is going to feel thinking it's going to cost your friendship with that person that it could ruin everything despite what you two been through,"

"How do you know…?"

"Because it's exactly what I'm feeling right now Mione,"

"Err… you do…?"

"Yeah, it's exactly what you said Mione you think you know a person for so long… and then one day... you see her … as if … there's something different about her.. You can't pinpoint what… but, it's always been there… you always felt that connection with that person your whole life… as if you can talk to her about everything and once you get older your feelings starts to change as if reality hits you like a ton of bricks as a realization that you can't live without them,"

"Yes that's—that's exactly right…it's like…no matter how many scenarios, or how many relationships you been with it's always the same no matter how stubborn, hard-headed, who can be a pain in the arse," Hermione muttered under her breath in French which left Harry and Ron about to ask but, she kept talking "Even when you think you're worth enough for that person it shouldn't change anything between them…thinking maybe it's not serious, or he's probably just fooling around with you not realizing he could be breaking your heart... " she couldn't help but, feel a little emotionally "Yeah… I know exactly how that feels...because that's what I've been feeling since 3rd year… and I thought I got over him but, apparently he always had my heart. I just didn't realize it at the time… until now…" she whispered.

"Exactly it may have taken me a while but, I didn't realize it either until now," Ron answered.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

Ron grinned "It's like that old saying… you always fall in love in unexpected places even with a person that's what happened to me?"

"You … "

"I'm in love with someone," Ron blurted out where Hermione was about to ask but he cut her off "Let me finish I think I know what you're trying to tell me Mione?"

"You can't possibly know what we're going to tell you Ron because—" Hermione was cut off by Harry who covered her mouth who muffled in anger.

"Sorry luv but, let's see what Ron wants to tell us then we can tell him ours okay," Harry whispered which left Hermione to shiver slightly.

"But, you're the one who insisted that we tell him first since he can't possibly know what we're going to tell him," Hermione muffled behind his hand.

"What did she say?" Ron asked.

"Don't worry about it mate," Harry waved him off which his wife Hermione gave him a slight glare "What were you going to tell us Ron?" he asked ignoring the glare.

"I did…" Ron looked rather confused then realized what he meant "Oh yeah I did, I've been seeing someone there's this girl that I rather care about a lot… more than care about her… I love her…as I can see myself having a future with this girl with a big family like I always wanted," he explained.

Harry remembered their conversation a few years back "Yeah I remember just like Mia and I both want a big family too we both do isn't that right luv," he explained.

Hermione however, was still covered by Harry's hand muffling in anger which he quickly let go after she bit him "Ouch," he flinches on that "You bit me," he accused her.

"Yeah what are you going to do about it Potter," Hermione growled.

"I have a few ideas…" Harry husky says, causing her to squeak.

"Uh guys…" Ron trying to gain their attention that left Harry and Hermione to cough nervously turning to their best friend "Are you going to let me finish telling you or what?"

"Yes, go on Ron you said something that you were seeing someone?"

"I am, I've been seeing her for a few months now we're really serious about each other?"

"O-o-oh," Hermione squeaks with wide eyes "A girl huh? Who is she?"

"Uh huh… she's amazing, beautiful, sweet, smart, she's like beyond amazing Mione and I honestly think you'll be quite surprised since you guys are like best friends besides Harry and I anyway,"

"Hold on it's not Lavender Brown is it because we don't get along with each other at all"

"What, no ew," Ron scrunched his nose "Why the bloody hell would I go out with her...we don't have anything in common to be honest,"

"Oh thank Merlin," Hermione looked relieved while Ron looked offended "No offense Ron but, that girl is a bit daft and doesn't know how to keep a secret or to shut up," she explained.

Ron rolled his eyes "I noticed but, you don't get along with a lot of girls huh?"

"I do get along with some girls but, they're in a different house then me though," Hermione sighed tiredly sitting on Harry's lap not noticing Ron's raising his eyebrow at them "So this girl that you're seeing from the past few months I want to know everything tell me about her. Do you two have a lot in common?" she explained.

"Yes, we both have a lot in common,"

"Like what?"

"Well … we're both stubborn, we both have best friends who are in the same house as us, she believes in the same things that we do and wants to fight in the war for what's right knowing her aunt would be damn proud of you. She also wants to help people especially kids and magical creatures kinda like you Mione,"

Hermione blinked her eyes "Oh really…" she looked intrigued and curious about this girl "Who is this girl that capture your heart Ronald Billius Weasley now I want to meet this girl who can match up with that temper of yours,"

"Oh believe me she knows how to tame my temper Mione," Ron chuckled at this leaving Harry to raise his eyebrow "Not like that more like… I found my other half just like how my parents found each other ya know," he explained

"Awee… does little Ronnikins find his match who could possibly gain your heart especially with that temper of yours," Hermione teasing Ron who flushed mumbling under his breath while Harry chuckled who leaned over "I'm sorry what was that Ron?"

"I said… I'm seeing Susan… Susan Bones,"

"Twix, who's in Hufflepuff best friends with Hannah Abbolt, Ginny, Lulu and I? That Susan Bones who has blonde hair, about my height and friends with my cousin's fiancee Cedric Diggory before he got killed by that bloody bastard in 4th year"

"Yes that's the one and who's your cousin?"

"Aqua she was dating Cedric in 4th year didn't you know?"

"What… I thought Cho was dating Cedric?"

"Nah they never dated, Cho made it seem they were dating but, in reality she was trying to steal Cedric from my cousin," Hermione growled as her eyes glowed in anger which Harry kissed her shoulder to calm her down "That bloody slut,"

"Whoa… easy there luv… "

"I can't help it she messed with the wrong person to mess with especially with my cousin Aqua who hasn't done anything to her except capture Cedric Amos Diggory's heart and Cho has always been jealous of that,"

Harry blinked his eyes dumbly about to argue but knew not to argue with his wife Hermione by rapidly changing the subject "So.. Ron you said you're dating Susan how did that happen?" he asked.

Ron nodded, blinking his eyes dumbly over this but, went along with it "Err.. yeah I've-I've been seeing Susan for a while we uh started to hang out and got to know each other after a few weeks," he explained.

"You mentioned that so how long have you two been together?"

"A few months, nearly a year why?"

"It would explain why she's always giggling and happy whenever we come around. I always wondered who would make her blush it would explain so much and I call her Twix because she's one of my best friends,"

Ron chuckled "I know she told me how you'd came up with the nickname from one of your girls sleepovers awhile back,"

Hermione pouted "It was supposed to be confidential but, oh well,"

"Why would it be a secret?"

"It's a girl thing but, that's great Ron I'm so happy for you. I hope she treats you right and won't hurt you. The only girl friends who I consider as best friends are a lot… let me see.. There's my big sister Ariel, my cousins Aqua, Ruby, Shayne, then there's Quinn, Alex, then there's Ginny, Luna, Susan, Hannah, Leah, Rae, Bex, and then there's—" Hermione was cut off by Harry,

"Mia luv, as much as I want to hear that story why don't we let Ron finish huh and then we can tell him the truth after he's done," Harry began to say noticing Hermione pursed her lips with a raise eyebrow at him who looked rather nervous "Well… you do tend to ramble when your nervous," he murmured.

Hermione sighed tiredly "You tend to like cutting me off don't you Harry," she explained.

Harry nervously laughs "Sorry luv, forgive me," he says holding his wife Hermione into a hug kissing her cheek affectionately.

"If I must," Hermione rolled her eyes, turning to Ron who was beginning to see something different between his two best friends "Well go on Ron how did you two become a couple?" she began to say, noticing Ron staring at them "What's with the weird look?" she explained.

"What weird look there's no weird look I'm just… what's going on with you two… you're acting as if you guys are dating or something?" Ron pointed out.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other then took a step back "Haha that's so funny…" Harry laughed nervously "Mia and I couple… whhhat…haha that's really funny Ron" he explained.

"And what's that supposed to mean Harry James Potter," Hermione growled.

"Nothing luv," Harry kissed his wife on the forehead "I love you," he quickly added however, Hermione squinted her eyes at her husband Harry and gave a 'humph' sound looking away "What I don't get a kiss from you?" he replied teasing his wife.

"No you may not," Hermione huffed at this "You're not getting away that easily Harry James Potter,"

"Awe come on Mia you know you love me," Harry grinned, wiggling his eyebrows holding his wife affectionately "Tell me you love me," he whispered.

"No,"

"Oh come on…"

"No…" Hermione refused, then noticed Ron looking at them oddly "So…?"

"So what?"

"Aren't you going to tell us how you and Susan became a couple?"

Ron stared at them for a moment but shrugged it off "Well… it's a long story?" he explained.

"Try us… we got all night," Harry pointed out.

"Well it happened when Susan lost her aunt,"

"Amelia Bones who works in the Ministry right?"

"Yes, she was the Head of the Aurors, head chief if you will,"

"Yeah I remember her she was one of the biggest supporters that helped me in the hearing when I was .. called there… last summer,"

"I remember, Mione and I were both worried for you, but I knew things were going to be different though… I just didn't really .. think of it until … I heard the news over her aunt being killed.. It broke Susan's heart since she didn't have much family besides her relatives,"

"Really…." Hermione grew quiet not knowing this "I had no idea… why didn't she tell me?"

Ron sighed tiredly "I asked her the same thing when she couldn't tell me but, at the time we weren't close with her until I realized she was right after a few days we started getting closer and went from there," he explained.

"I can't imagine how hard that was for her losing her aunt like that especially since she lost her parents just like I did," Harry began to say that left them quiet "Do you know how it happened to them on how her aunt died I mean?" he explained.

"From what Susan told me apparently there was some talk inside the Ministry, they believed it was someone who ratted her out going against 'you-know-who' knowing something that he doesn't know… and that got her killed… at least in theory anyway,"

Hermione frowned "What could she know that got her killed Ron?"

"Susan doesn't know but, whatever it was … it got her aunt killed. I was a bit worried about her you see because she always seem so happy whenever we talk to one another ya know,"

"Yeah of course especially when we had our sleep overs you'd be surprised what Susan can do when she's drunk. It's a bit funny but I had to be the sober one since I don't drink like I used too and …" Hermione began to notice Harry and Ron scandal looks and rapidly changed the subject "And what happened after you guys talked Ron?" she explained.

"Well that's when Susan and I began hanging out, once we balance our schedules from patrols being a Perfect, it's a good thing that Mione was in charge of it all, making sure our schedules matches with the Quidditch schedule as well since most of the Perfects had other stuff to do ya know," Ron explained.

"I remember...and that was when Malfoy was being sincere over that … for the day anyway," Hermione pointed out.

"Yeah… and after getting to know her I wasn't sure if my feelings were sincere like I considered her as my friend, more than a friend as a sister, it was confusing … so I kept it quiet and with everything going on … with the three of us … I didn't really think of it much but, I do know that I was beginning to care about Susan a lot… especially with the war going on. I didn't want her or her family to get hurt since we have a lot to plan out everything but, it was really hard not telling you guys about us but, I knew I had to tell you soon. The only person who knew from Susan's friends is just Hannah being her best friend but she's planning on telling you Mione, along with Luna and Ginny so pretend you don't know about it okay," he explained.

"Don't worry I won't say a word Ron I'll make it seem I have no idea that you guys are together as a couple,"

"Good...now that I told my secret now it's your turn,"

"Do you want to go Harry or shall I?"

"Ladies first,"

"Well aren't you a gentleman and you're right about that one," Hermione began to say nodding to herself noticing her husband Harry about to walk away "Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't you dare leave me here Harry James Potter you're the one who insisted that we both tell Ron the truth, after everything that's been going on now the time to tell him so don't you dare back out and put me on the middle again Potter," she scolding him in a hissy low tones causing Harry to flush about to protest "Oh no you don't get me to give me that look since you two are close besides with me you have to tell him the truth he has to hear it from us," she growled.

"Tell me what?"

"Mia you should tell him,"

"Why can't you tell him he's your best mate,"

"And you're…his best friend as much as you are mine,"

"Ohhh is that all I'm good for then?"

"No there's a lot of things that you're good at especially that thing that you'd—"

"Don't be cocky and change the subject with me Potter just tell him,"

"GUYS TELL ME WHAT?!"

"Err… " Harry and Hermione were both startled by Ron's outburst "R—right ummm well… okay… see Harry and I we're dating…" she began to say then whispered "As a couple," she explained closing her eyes.

Ron stared at Hermione for a second then started to laugh "Ha, ha, ha very funny Mione that's hilarious you guys are practically brother and sister to each other…" he blurted out bending down laughing.

"Ron… we're being serious,"

"No you can't be dating each other you would've told me since I'm your best friend…that's hilarious you two dating ha, ha, ha, ha,"

"Ron… we're not trying to be funny we're being quite serious, we're dating each other,"

"Oh yeah then prove it, go on let's see a kiss,"

Hermione gave Ron a challenge looking "Fine you want a kiss, let's give him a kiss Harry," she replied pushing her husband Harry to the couch despite his protest and started making out with him hard leaving poor Ron to gawk at his two best friends stunned.

[20 minutes of silence]...

Ron just stood there, his arms folded. His mouth wibbled a bit and he made a funny "wibble" sound when he had heard the news. This was a bad reaction. Harry and Hermione were holding hands, and were looking anxious as to what his next words would be, after they finished making out Harry decided to speak up from the awkward silence.

"Ron… are you okay with this? I mean Mia and I have been seeing each other for a year and 4 ½ months now… can't you just say something?"

"..."

"Ron….?"

"..."

"RON?!"

"Y-y-y-y-you been dating for A YEAR AND 4 ½ MONTHS?!"

"Err…. yes…"

Ron looked from Hermione to Harry and back again. It looked like words had failed him, eventually he sighed, sat down despite how he's too stunned to speak and finally spoke up.

"Well… why didn't you tell me? You're my best friends!? I thought we just said no more secrets from each other?" Ron blurted out.

Hermione looked down as she spoke up through the silence "Well… we were both worried over your reaction and what would happen especially with the mission that we were assigned too...maybe this was a mistake… maybe… Harry and I don't really love each other… maybe we're just … fooling around… who am I kidding… but all those maybe's are false…" she began to say when Harry and Ron were about to protest or argue against her but, she continued to talk with a serious look "We do love each other and we're not fooling around. We're both worried about what people would say but, mostly we were worried over yours since we don't want to hurt you Ron you're our best friend… I would hate that we lose your friendship over this… do you hate us…" she whispered.

By the time she had finished her speech, she was looking Ron in the eye almost definitely as though she really wanted him to believe her. Neither Harry or Hermione wanted him to be angry with them as Harry put his hand on Ron's shoulder.

"I'm sorry that we didn't tell you we should've told you the minute we got together but, I guess we were both scared of your reaction on how you won't be our best friend anymore… besides all that wibbling you did worried us a bit," Harry pointed out.

Ron laughed and looked at the two of them again. They looked so comfortable together and Ron could tell that even though they kept a secret from him for over a year and 4 ½ months now, they honestly love each other and that was all the evidence he needed.

"You know what… how about I treat you two lovebirds to a Butterbeer down at Hogsmeade? Come on, let's grab the invisibility cloak,"

"Does that mean you're not mad at us?"

"Nah I'm not mad at you guys I had a feeling you two would end up together if things didn't work out between us Mione,"

"What do you mean?"

"Ya know… if things were reversed me and you would've been the ones to be together instead of you two?"

Hermione gawked at Ron then grew quiet with a slow nod "Probably in a different universe but, I love Harry… does that mean your okay with us being a couple,"

"Yes, I'm okay with it and I can never hate you Mione, we're best friends… but, I do have something to say though?"

"Oh … and what's that?"

"Why did it take you this long to tell me this?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other for a long moment then turned to Ron sitting down on the chair as they were near the fireplace.

"Honestly Ron… we were afraid of your reaction and whenever we tried to tell you… it didn't seem like it was a good time after losing Sirius...I realized that I needed to be alone for a while to work things out," Harry explained.

Ron slowly nodded at this "Yeah I guess I can understand that mate since I was in the same position sorting out my feelings towards Susan too," he began to say debating something "Was it really that hard to talk to me sometimes?" he explained.

"Do you want an honest answer Ron?"

"Yes…?"

"Yes, yes you have,"

"Gee thanks nice to know that Mione?"

"Sorry it's true and well you tend to overreact over little things do you want us to recall the last time you reacted back in 4th year,"

"And I apologize for that Mione,"

"Or the time when you thought Crookshakes ate Scabbers only to learn that it was Peter Pettigrew the real culprit who got Harry's parents killed not Sirius Black,"

"Yeah but—"

"And what about the time when—"

"Now hold on that wasn't my fault—"

"Or the time you ruined my date with Viktor in 4th year—"

~*~End of Chapter One~*~

What do you think of the first chapter so far…? Like it... love it? I know I made a few changes Hermione being a widow and a single mother of quintuplets 'quints' James, Seth, Lily, Evie & Henry while being the adopted mother to Ron and Susan's children—Rose, Daisy, Amelia and Hugo Weasley-Potter it's a lot to take in but, I didn't want her to be by herself despite how she's a mother of nine children. Charlie, Fred, George Weasley with his wife Ariel 8 ½ months pregnant (Hermione's older sister/wife to George) with their children Percy II (OC), Emery (OC), Arthur 'Art' (OC),, Fred with his two children Barry and Anastasia, Charlie being the single bachelor/uncle then there's Jay (Hermione's older brother) who's also a widow of eight children. Draco, Luna his wife being 8 ½ months with their daughter Pandora 'Penny' (OC) and their sons Scorpius (OC), Lysander (OC) and Lorcan (OC) then there's Remus, Tonks being 6 ½ months pregnant with quadruplets 'quads', their son Teddy, the grandmother Andromeda (Tonk's mother).

Blaise, his husband Neville with their children while their surrogate mother Hayley is 5 ½ months pregnant with triplets-all boys, Theo & Pansy being six months with triplets all boys and their daughters Olivia 'Liv' (OC), Maddison 'Maddie' (OC) and Veronica 'Ronnie or V' (OC) will be joining them along the ride. It's a lot of people isn't it but not too much. I don't want to make it too obvious but that's what I was going for because I don't want Hermione to distance herself from everyone especially in the Wizarding World, but she has her extended family and knowing they'll support her no matter what. Hope you guys enjoy the first chapter ^_^
