Harry was tired. Not just tired, Harry was weary. Bone deep, brain numbing, feet dragging weary. And what was worse, Harry couldn't sleep. The last 36 hours weighed heavily on Harry's mind. The break-in and escape from Gringots, the chaos and horror of the Battle of Hogwarts, dying and coming back, and then the final battle with Riddle. Now Harry was sitting in the window seal of one of the few windows of the Gryffindor common room that hadn't been broken during the battle. It wasn't even his idea, Luna had looked at him right before causing a distraction so he could slip away and had suggested that he might find it to be a relaxing place to unwind. "Just make sure to use your invisibility cloak."

Harry remembered thinking that that was a very odd thing for her to suggest, but then, she did seem to be able to see things most people couldn't.

"Hurry up Ron! We need to find him before someone else does!" Harry could hear Ginny's voice coming from the entrance to the common room. "Did you bring the potions?"

'Sweet! A dreamless sleep potion is just what I need.' Harry thought to himself. Content in the knowledge that even in their grief, the Weasley family was looking out for him. He let out a small sigh and started to get down from the window seal to meet them.

"Did you take the fertility potion like mom told you?" The question from Ron's mouth made Harry freeze and hold still, confused and horrified by what he was hearing. "All you have to do is let him get you pregnant and then after he is banished and you have his baby, Kingsley will confiscate the Potter fortune, and we will get half, and the ministry will get half."

"I'm not stupid Ronald!" came Ginny's retort. "Uhg, I can't believe I have to sleep with that whiney, scrawny twerp."

"Just remember that twerp has more magic and power than Dumbledore did, and if he breaks the blocks on his power he will be the most powerful wizard on the planet." Hermione's voice cut across Ginny's complaints and made everyone stop. Harry felt his world crumble. His best 'friends' were just using him for his money.

'I should have seen this coming…I should have known.' Harry felt the hot bitter tears of betrayal slowly make their way down his bruised and dirty cheeks.

"Go upstairs and get ready Ginny" Hermione was taking charge again. "Ron and I will go slip Harry the lust potion. Then you get in bed with him and when you're done, I'll obliviate him." The plan was perfect. They would steal his fortune, and he'd never know about it.

Ginny made her way up stairs leaving Ron and Hermione alone in the common room. As they watched her go, Ron came up behind Hermione and put his arms around her waist. "Do you think she'll do it?"

"She'll do it; she wants his money and the fame of bearing his baby." Hermione looked smug. "And I get the Black and Potter libraries, and you get enough money to buy the Chuddley Cannons." She was confident in their plan. "It's a good thing Professor Dumbledore set most of this up before his death, with just a few changes, we get it all. It's too bad Harry didn't die like he was supposed to."

"Forget the little looser, let's get this over with so we can get to bed have our own fun" Ron started kissing Hermione's neck. "Don't forget we need to claim the Chamber of Secrets and the basilisk carcass soon. That itself should bring you and I millions of galleons each. Just think of the library you can build yourself with that kind of money. Ran's hands worked their way around Hermione's waist.

Hermione giggled at Ron's attention, and turned around and kissed him on the lips. By this time Harry was seeing red. He drew the Elder Wand and was ready to unleash some righteous retribution, when something stopped him. That something was an idea…a crazy, hare brained, no way this will work idea. The type of idea you can't plan, but only take advantage of when the opportunity presents itself.

Harry grinned evilly to himself and unleashed his Slytherin side.

Molly was walking at a brisk pace towards the Gryffindor common room while humming a tune. Soon her family would have it all. The fame from helping defeat You-Know-Who, the respect of the wizarding world, and with the Potter's money, all the nice things that the Weasley's deserved. They were a pureblood family after all. She knew her youngest son was currently obsessed with that little mudblood, but she also knew it was just a passing phase. Once he had had enough of her, Molly would convince him to drop her like the trash she was, and find a nice respectable pureblood girl to marry. It was too bad that Ginny actually had to carry Harry's baby and give birth to it, but by then he would be long banished and the baby could always be blood adopted and the Potter name allowed to finally die out.

Molly saw Ginny sitting in the common room on a couch in front of the fire.

"How did it go dear?"

"It was sickening, but I did it" came the reply, almost listless. "This better be worth it Mom. He was terrible in bed, a bumbling idiot, and almost couldn't get it up! And then when he did, he was so small I had to fight to keep from laughing!" She was clearly disgusted.

"Well, done is done. You won't need to be with him again. When this is all over, we will be so rich, you can have any husband you want. Don't forget Harry also has the Black fortune that we can claim." This brightened Ginny up considerably, as she imagined the millions of additional galleons she would get.

Hermione woke up stiff and sore from her long night and wondered briefly where she was. Looking around she realized she was back in her old bed in the 6th year dorms. Still feeling tired, she snuggled back down into the covers to have a bit of a lie in.

Ron work up in his own bed with a very satisfied smile. Last night he'd finally gotten laid. It had taken him quite a while to get Hermione to give it up. But he finally had. 'She really wasn't that great, Lavender was much better.' Thinking of Lavender made him do a double take…'Maybe I should get back together with her now that I have had Hermione.' His smile got even bigger. 'That will make mom happy, and she at least doesn't act like a wet fish in bed.' Ron got out of bed, wondering if Lavender was still down in the Great Hall. 'Hermi will just have to go find someone else to boss around.' And with that thought made his was down the stairs to the common room.

"Where is Harry?" Ron was startled to hear Kingsley's questions.

Ron looked over and saw him standing with half a dozen aurors and knew the boy-who-sought-fame was about to get his comeuppance. "He should still be in his bed, I didn't hear him get up this morning." He said with a smirk.

Ron turned and left the common room while Kingsley and the aurors drew their wands and got ready to confront Harry.

"Let's just stun him and tie him up. Then we'll wake him up and give him his choice, banishment or Azkaban". Kingsley secretly hoped Harry put up a fight so he could put him in Azkaban. Wouldn't do to have a loose Potter coming back in the future wanting to know where his inheritance went. He felt a little guilty for a brief moment. He knew he and the Weasleys plan to steal Harry's fortune was wrong, but felt somewhat justified in that the Ministry would need the funds to rebuild, and of course, he could use some of the money to help make sure he stayed in office.

Kingsley and the aurors slowly climbed the stairs and made their way over to the only bed with the curtains drawn. On the slow count of three, one of his men drew back the curtains while the others all shot stunners at Harry. Kingsley frowned and cursed under his breath. Harry Potter wasn't there.

Hermione made her way into the great hall shortly after breakfast and started looking around for Ron. She was a little confused, she had expected Ron to still be in bed with her, or her still in bed with Ron. She couldn't remember much about the night before. She decided she must have been more tired than she thought she was.

Spotting Ron at the Gryffindor table talking to Lavender. She smiled a small smile as she made her way over. The smile slipped from her face as she noticed the way that Lavender was draped across Ron, paying attention to his every word.

"Ronald, what are you doing?" Her tone came out much harsher than she had intended.

"Breakfast. What does it look like?" Came his almost flippant reply.

"I meant with her?" Hermione was looking at Lavender who was looking all too smug for Hermione's taste.

"Look Hermi, last night was great, but it was a onetime only thing. Besides mum wants me to settle down with a nice proper witch." Ron kept putting food in his mouth while talking, bits of it dropping on his robes.

Hermione felt her stomach drop and her face heat up. Lavender was again looking smug and hanging on Ron like a cheap dress. She had to fight down the urge to yell and scream and slap the gold digging tramp from taking her boyfriend, the man she had spent the night with last night…the man she had had sex….wait a minute…Her brain did a quick reboot….

Just at that minute Minister Shacklebolt came into the great hall, and seeing Ron and Hermione made his way over.

"Ron, where did you say Harry was?"

"In his bed, I didn't hear him leave this morning, and his curtains were closed. He only leaves his curtains closed when he is in bed."

"He wasn't there, and his bed wasn't slept in last night."

Molly and Ginny had made their way over by then and were horrified to hear that their source of wealth was currently missing.

"Ginny, are you sure he was in his bed last night?" Kingsley was getting concerned.

"Of course he was there, we had sex last night" she hissed.

A slow smile of sweet revenge came over Hermione's face. "Which bed did you climb in last night Ginny?" She asked.

"Duh, second on the left" Ginny rolled her eyes at the question. 'Stupid mudblood, I can't see what Ron sees in her' she thought to herself.

"Ginny, Harry's bed is second bed on the right. Ron's is the second one on the left." Hermione put the pieces together. "You slept with Ron last night, not Harry!"

The silence of the group was total. After almost a minute of silence she looked at Ron, whose face had gone pale white. With a small shake of her head she turned and left the hall.

"OH MY GAWD!" Lavender was the next to break. "That is so sick and wrong, just wait until I tell Pavrati!" She too bolted from the table and left the great hall in a hurry. As she was leaving, she could hear the start of a titanic fit coming from Molly Weasley. Honestly, that woman made the word harridan look tame. She would have to thank Hermione for pointing out what would have been one of the biggest mistakes she would have ever made by getting together with Ron 'I-knocked-up-my-sister' Weasley.
