Arthur knocked as he pushed open Ron's bedroom door.
"Ron, are you alright?" asked Arthur.
Ron was laying face down on the dusty old mattress. He merely mumbled into the pillow in response.
Arthur sat beside his son on the mattress, placing a hand on his back.
Ron sat up to sit beside his dad.
"Want to try that one more time, son?" questioned Arthur.
"I said, I'm fine," Ron groaned.
"Mm, right. So you're telling me that you're okay with Harry and Hermione as an expecting couple, then?" Arthur pushed.
Ron shot his dad an annoyed look.
"It's taking time, but I'm getting used to it. Have no choice, do I?" Ron paused for a moment before continuing, "As long as they are both happy, I can be happy for 'em."
Before either of the Weasley men could further the conversation, they heard the door one room over bang open. It quickly shut soon after; giggles and laughter could be overheard.
"Guess the love birds escaped any further interrogation from Remus and Tonks," mused Arthur.
Although the sound was muffled, moans filtered through the old, thin walls.
The mattress next door began creaking slowly, increasing its pace steadily until it was almost creaking nonstop. The moans also increased in volume, in time with each creak and groan of the mattress.
"UGGGH! Oh, Harry!" came Hermione's muffled voice, "Oh, YES! UGH!! Fuuuck! Baby, you feel so good!"
"Arrrgh," Harry's muffled groans now joined Hermione's, "Blimey, 'Mione, you're so tight!" Harry's moans increased as the vibrations of their lovemaking was now virtually shaking the wall.
Ron was now grimacing from being an unexpected bystander to Harry and Hermione's shagathon next door.
"Ugh, yes…well. I must be off," fidgeting with his clothes awkwardly, Arthur continued, "Got to find Remus and Tonks. Why don't you come down to say goodbye?"
Ron nodded thankfully, and followed his dad out of the room.
As they quickly passed Harry & Hermione's room, she had begun shrieking from the added intensity of Harry's powerful thrusts and her oncoming orgasm.
"You'd think they would at least be courteous enough to cast a silencing charm?" Ron asked as they walked downstairs.
Remus and Tonks were in the lounge area, seated in front of the fireplace.
Arthur's face brightened as he joined them, partially because he no longer had to endure the sound of teenagers making love; for which he was incredibly thankful.
"Ah, there you are, Arthur. We thought you ran off," said Remus.
Leaning in close to Ron, "Thought about it," Arthur whispered. "No, just went to check on Ronald," he continued.
"So, why are you all here?" asked Ron.
"The Order is keeping an eye on all of its members and locations," replied Remus.
"This is still considered to be an official meeting place for the Order, and we refuse to lose anymore territory to…You-Know-Who," said Arthur.
"We just pop in to make sure the protective enchantments are still in place," added Tonks.
"Oh, alright," said Ron.
Another long, awkward pause filled the room.
"I still can't believe that Harry is gonna be a dad!" smiled Tonks.
Remus sighed, "He's young, but if anyone can handle it, he can. Hermione as well. Their kids will be lucky to have such amazing parents," he replied.
Tonks suddenly realized that Arthur and Ron had been uncomfortably quiet since the news broke.
"Ron, how do you feel about all this?" asked Tonks.
"They're my friends. I'll support 'em no matter what happens," answered Ron quietly.
"Well, I hope you kids know that you'll have to carry on your mission without her. She certainly cannot continue in her state," said Arthur.
"Dad, we already tried that. Especially Harry. He, above everyone else, doesn't want her in harm's way. Trouble is, it's Hermione. She can be rather difficult," explained Ron.
"Well, once your mother gets word of this, you can best bet that Hermione will be resting safe and sound," assured Arthur.
The group all laughed.
"I, for one, would love to see that conversation," replied Ron.
