Ron and Harry is hoping that Hermione will sit with them on the train.

In their eighth year at Hogwarts, the train ride back to school was filled with anticipation and mixed emotions for Hermione Granger. Ron and Harry hoped that Hermione would join them as usual, sitting together like old times. Little did they know that a surprising twist awaited them.

As Hermione walked through the train compartments, she spotted Draco Malfoy, who seemed different from their previous encounters. He wore a genuine smile, and there was a warmth in his eyes that Hermione had never seen before. With a smile of her own, she decided to join him.

"Draco," Hermione said softly as she settled beside him on the train, her heart fluttering with excitement.

"Hi, Granger," Draco responded, his voice tinged with a hint of mischief. He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her head, leaving Ron and Harry staring at them in utter confusion.

Caught off guard, Ron mumbled to Harry, "Is it just me, or did Hermione gain weight over the summer?"

Hermione, hearing Ron's comment, let out a sigh and exchanged a meaningful glance with Draco. She knew it was time to reveal the truth.

"I did gain weight, Ron," Hermione admitted, her voice filled with a mixture of weariness and vulnerability. "But it's because I'm pregnant."

A stunned silence filled the compartment as Ron and Harry processed her words. They exchanged bewildered glances before Harry found his voice. "Pregnant? Hermione, how...? Who...?"

Draco interjected, his tone filled with a newfound tenderness. "We're together, Harry. Hermione and I. We found love in unexpected places."

Ron's initial shock gradually transformed into concern. "Hermione, are you okay? How long have you known?"

Hermione smiled softly, feeling the support from her friends and the love she shared with Draco. "I've known for a few weeks now, Ron. It's been a whirlwind, but Draco has been incredibly supportive."

Harry, taking in the situation, decided to set aside any lingering grudges. "Well, if you two are happy, then that's what matters. Hermione, congratulations."

A sense of relief washed over Hermione as she received her friends' acceptance. She knew there would be challenges ahead, but she was grateful to have their support.

As the train rumbled along towards Hogwarts, the four friends sat together, bridging the gap between past rivalries and newfound bonds. With Hermione and Draco's love blossoming, they embarked on a journey of unexpected twists and turns, eager to face whatever challenges awaited them.

Their eighth year at Hogwarts would be unlike any other, filled with personal growth, love, and the strength of friendship that transcended all boundaries.
