2. Chapter 2 (2/2)

there was a moment of pause, and sherlock was loathe to admit he wasn't quite sure what they were talking about with wars and different worlds and ministries. but ron stepped closer to hermione.

"i didn't come to open old wounds, mione." sherlock grimaced. mione? "how have you been?"

hermione laughed humorlessly. "i've been... better. i've found a place with my cousin and our friend."

yes, likely because she was tired of traveling with the people she'd gone to school with and she didn't like the prospect of living alone. ron seemed to have come from a large family, the youngest in it. maybe. not terribly

ight in intelligence, but a decent strategist. hotheaded, masculinity issues, and had harbored feelings for hermione in the past. but sherlock had already known that part.

"i'm getting married," he said suddenly, cutting her off. "lavender and i, we're getting married. and, well, i know we haven't spoken or seen each other since harry died, but i want you there. and lavender wants you there too. we both owe you a lot."

"neither of you owe me anything."

"no, we do. lavender, her life, and i owe you for ignoring all of my advances or i might not be where i am. i find i'm rather happy in my life."

hermione looked at him with a searching expression and smiled. sherlock like when she smiled. "i'm glad. you deserve to be happy, the both of you."

ron nodded. "will you come? you deserve to be happy too. i know that you left because of harry, but its been years. mum misses you. and charlie's still single."

she laughed. sherlock like that too. "yes, i'm sure he still is. but i'm afraid i don't have the sense of adventure enough to keep a dragon tamer interested. i'm perfectly happy finding murderers and microwaving eyes."

"micerwaving?" ron asked, confused, before he shook his head. "i don't need to know. but, come home sometime, yeah? and, if you give enough notice that we can lock dad in a closet, you could

ing the muggles too. but come to my wedding, hermione."

"i will. owl me."

ron pulled her into a hug. "i have to go. lav's pregnant and decided she wants dragon liver. all the time. it smells absolutely horrendous."

"congratulations! do you know what it's going to be yet?"

ron nodded. "a boy. and... we were thinking... well. we're planning on naming him harry. we wanted to ask if you'd like to be godmother?"

hermione threw her arms around ron and sniffled. sherlock had never seen her do something so girlish. "i'd love to."

a/n: i know it's short, but it just sort of happened. hope you like it! idk if there will be another chapter.
