**Triggers, again**

"Mum, professor, are they okay?" Ginny asks her mother and Minerva. "No. But they will be, dear." Molly tells her daughter. "What happened?" Molly and Minerva look at each other, debating on whether or not they should tell them. Minerva speaks up, "It is not our place to tell. But, I guess we'll tell you since she is your best friend." Minerva sighs. She looks at Molly, who nods at her to continue. "Last month, they gave birth to a baby girl. But.. she did not make her. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck." She tells them sadly. Ginny gasp and covers her mouth her hand. "Awe. Poor Hermione. It must be really devastating. I've never seen Snape so emotional." Ginny finally said. 

"So you all are just going to ignore everything I just listed. He's a Death Eater for Merlin's sake!!" Ron yells. "Ronald! Did you now see how emotional Snape just got. Did you not see the way he looked and spoke to Hermione. He is a changed man. You need to get over her, son." Molly chastised her son.

Molly W. felt a tug on her sleeve. She looks down to see her granddaughter. "Grandma, where did mummy and daddy go?" "They went for a quick walk, Molly. They'll be right back. Now, why don't you take us to see your Uncle Draco." Molly S. broke into a huge and excitedly grabbed her hand and lead her towards Astoria, Draco, and Narcissa. "Uncle Draco! Aunt Astoria! Nanna!" Molly S. calls when she reaches them. Narcissa turns around first and smiles. "Yes, sweetpea?" "Nanna, this is Grandma Molly. The one mum named me after." She said with a big smile. "Molly, its so good to see you again." "Wait, you know each other?" Molly S. exclaims. Narcissa, Molly, Draco, and Astoria all chuckled. "Yes, dear. Your Nanna and I went to Hogwarts together. We weren't the best of friends. But after the war, she came and apologized for everything, and we have been friends since." Molly W. explained to her. 

"Molly, I'm sorry I never told you about Hermione. I was only respect her and Severus's wishes." "It's quite alright, Cissa. I know her and Severus had their reasons." Molly assured her. "Daddy!" They hear little Zander yell. They look to wear he is pointing and see Severus walking towards them. Severus smiles, "Hey, bud. Come here." he says as he takes Zander from Draco. "Where's 'Mioine?" Draco asks. "She's gone to get drinks for the two of us." 

Hermione had just reached the refreshment table when she felt a hand on her shoulder. " 'Mione?" She cringed when she realized who it was. "Yes, Ronald." "Why'd you leave? Why are you just now coming back?" "I left because I wanted to go find my parents. I decided to go get Sev's body, first, and bring it to the castle. But when I got there, I found him alive. I told him my plans and he decided he'd accompany me. He didn't want to stay here. So we left. We learned my parents had been killed by Death Eaters, and when I found out, I broke down. I didn't want to come back til I knew what I wanted to do. So Sev and I found an apartment and helped each other cope. Then we ended falling love. We were happy with living in Austraila, away from everyone. We could be together and not be judged. Narcissa and Draco were the only one's who knew."

"But 'Mione, you could've asked me to go. I-" "No, Ron. I didn't want you to go. You were one of the reasons I left. I loved you, yes. But I wasn't ready for a relationship. So I left." Ron thought for a second, "Well you're back now. We can be together now. Runaway with me. We can get married!" He grabs her arm with excitement. Hermione yanks her arm free and, for the second time, she smacked him. Ron grabbed his face and looked at her confused. "What was that for?"
