A/N: This story was originally going to be a one-shot fic, but it was just getting too long (over 20 pgs). So, I decided to put it into chapters instead. I don't now how many chapters there's going to be, because I'm not completely finished writing it. I do promise not to keep you waiting in between chapters. I'll let you know in my profile page if I can not get a chapter up within 3 days of the previous one. Some of the chapters will be shorter than others. But that's only because I wish to leave you with a desire to come back and read the next chapter. So, enjoy! And don't forget to review! I'll shut up now, so you can go on and read the first chapter.

Chapter 1: Thoughts and Worries

The manor was quiet; Harry and Ginny Potter lay fast asleep in their bedroom. In the other bedroom, however, Ron Weasley was wide awake. He lay there with Hermione Granger sleeping peacefully beside him, her head resting on his chest.

It has been five years since Harry, Ron, and Hermione have graduated from Hogwarts; for Ginny it has been four. Harry had been going out with Ginny ever since sixth year. Two years after graduation Harry asked her to marry him, and to Ron's disgust, his sister had said yes.

Ron's thoughts left Harry and Ginny and went to his own love life. He has been in love with Hermione ever since their third year, yet he was too stubborn to admit it to her. He had been hoping that she would ask him out first. Ron waited too long, however, and Hermione had given up on him. It wasn't until seventh year and Hermione had finally broken up with her boyfriend of three years, that Ron had swallowed his pride and asked her to the graduation ball. They have been together ever since.

Ron came back to the present when Hermione stirred and rolled off him. She didn't wake, he was grateful of that. Ron wondered if what he had done was right; he loved her, he was sure of that. But does she love me? Ron thought. Of course she does or she wouldn't have had sex with him. What if she had only done it in the heat of the moment? Sure the night had been romantic, but was the decision that was made been right? Ron's doubt's kept him awake for a long time.

Ron woke the following morning to find Hermione still fast asleep beside him. Ron got up, put on a pair of boxers and left the bedroom.

"Morning, Ron," Ginny called, as Ron entered the kitchen.

"Morning, Gin," Ron replied, yawning. Harry, who was sitting at the table, looked up from his paper.

"Did you have a nice night Ron?" Harry asked, with a smile. Ron glared at his best friend. Harry's smile widened, Ron didn't say anything, but just flung himself into a chair opposite Harry. Ginny placed a plate of food in front of both Harry and Ron. "Thanks honey," Harry kissed his wife.

"Yeah, thanks," Ron said. Ron looked up as Hermione walked into the kitchen wearing nothing but his shirt, which went just pass her knees. "Morning, love." Hermione looked into his deep blue eyes, he smiled and she melted. He's so handsome, she thought.

She smiled back and mumbled, "Morning." Hermione sat down beside Ron as Ginny placed a plate of food in front of her, than Ginny herself sat down beside her husband. They ate breakfast, which was very good; Ginny was an excellent cook.

"Ron, have you seen my skirt?" Hermione asked, she was looking allover Ron's room for it.

"No, it might be in the bathroom," Ron replied, remembering the bubble bath they had had last night before going to the bedroom. "I'll go and see if it's there." Ron left the room. Hermione found her bra and blouse under Ron's pants. As she was putting on her underwear she heard Ron yell for both her and Harry. Wondering why he would want both of them, Hermione rushed from the room.

Ron stopped in front of the bathroom, the door was closed. He knocked; no answer. He knocked again and still got no reply. Curious as to why the door was closed when clearly there was no one in there, Ron opened the door. But there was someone in the bathroom. Ginny lay on the floor by the toilet; she was unconscious. "Harry! Hermione!" Ron yelled, rushing over to his sister.

Hermione appeared in the doorway. "Ron, what's?" She stopped seeing Ginny. "Ginny."

"She fainted," Ron said. Harry came running in zipping up his pants.

"Ginny!" Harry exclaimed, "Ron, what happened?"

"I don't know, I found her like this." Hermione bent down and felt Ginny's neck for a pulse; it was there but weak.

"Hermione, what's wrong with her?" Harry asked.

"I don't know," she answered.

"But," Ron said, "Hermione, you're a healer!"

"She needs to get to a hospital," Hermione told them. Ron nodded, stood up, and went back to his room to get dressed. Hermione looked up at Harry, concern in her eyes; he too nodded and lifted Ginny from the floor. Hermione scrambled into her skirt which was on the floor and buttoned up her shirt.
