Who: Ron and Hermione
When: Today, July 31st, after lunch
Where: St. Mungo's
What: Pretending not to stalk Hermione

Though Ron didn't like to admit it, he was a bit jealous of Harry's new life. Though he hadn't been married to Ginny that long, Ron thought he seemed happier for it, lighter, as though the burdens he'd always carried around were now more equally distributed between himself and someone who understood what he had been through. It was a good thing for Harry, and Ron was really starting to want the same thing for himself.

Which was why, despite his protests when Harry suggested he should tell Hermione how he felt, once and for all, Ron was hanging around the corridors of St. Mungo's on Friday afternoon, hoping to run into her, without making it look like he was running into her.

"And what about us?" Ron blurted, imagining the couch at Harry and Ginny's flat filled to the brim with little red-haired and black-haired Weasley-Potters and feeling a bit of a twinge for a moment. "I mean - " He took a breath, collecting himself. "Do you think either of us will ever have kids? Someday?"

He hadn't meant together, really. The thoughts about being with Hermione, and the thoughts about having kids sometimes went together, but at this moment, they really had been two separate ideas. He did wonder, though? What did Hermione want? How many girls? How many boys? What would she want to name them? Would they be little red-haired and brown-haired Granger-Weasleys? Did he want that? Yes, a small part of him whispered. A thousand times yes. But he couldn't face it. He was still too afraid.

"Oh, I don't know." Hermione sighed. She was doing her best to understand that he meant what about Ron, and what about Hermione, separately. "I suspect you'll have kids someday." She gave him a warm smile. Some girl would be lucky to end up with Ron as a husband. Oh, how she wished it was her.

The thought burned white hot in her brain, then she forced it away and shook her head.

"I think I'd fancy one of each. A boy and a girl." She went on, trying not to feel awkward about it. "I never had any brothers or sisters, but I see the way you Weasleys interact with each other. I think it'd be nice to have two."

Ron nodded. "I've got to, I think," he said. "Mum would kill me." He chuckled a bit. "I can't imagine only two, though. I bet that'd be pretty nice and quiet. Maybe there'd actually be enough time to spend with each of them, yeah?" He smiled a bit at that thought. He had always felt like the inferior child, and he thought maybe kids did better when they didn't feel lost in a crowd. Not that he was still upset over not being the favorite. He'd confronted that issue when he'd destroyed that awful horcrux. But there was still a part of him that thought maybe he didn't want quite so many kids, in case of them ever felt the inadequacies he had.

"Was it weird, being the only child?" he asked, curious, and showing an interest. "I always wondered what it'd be like."
