Well, the average wizarding public has quite the track record of being too quick to believe what they read. I'm not sure if Ron, Lav, and Rita have really considered the various possible consequences of their actions, as well as being ignorant of many facts in the case. One of the pitfalls of seeking revenge, I guess.And yes, the other Weasleys have been incredibly supportive and will continue to be so. Thanks for taking a moment to review, it's greatly appreciated!

Thank you, KittyP! And I agree, Ron's behavior is completely horrid, but there really is more to what's going on with him (and Lavender) than meets the eye.Thanks so much for taking a moment to review, it's greatly appreciated. :)

Well, it's safe to say that Ron's really not thinking at the moment. At least not with the appropriate part of his anatomy.I'm working on the next update right now, should be ready for the beta by sometime this weekend. :)

The next chapter should be ready for the queue by morning. :)

Thanks!Ron really crossed a line with Molly.Hm. Well... Hm. You're kinda on the right track. Sort of. But not quite.Keep reading! :)

Ron's behavior is definitely way out of line. He was completely horrid to both to his wife and his parents. There's more to Ron's behavior than meets the eye, and we will learn more about that in the next chapter.As for your last comment... let me just say you're very perceptive. :)*Clamps mouth firmly shut*

Ron's behavior definitely took both of his parents by surprise. Hermione has been turning to Molly for the comfort her husband was not providing, but this is the first time she's seen for herself exacly how irrational he has become. Luna will continue to be there for Hermione... she's going to be a big part of this story as well.LOL! I'm working on the next chapter as we speak, it should be ready for the queue in a day or two. Thanks for continuing to read and review, it really means a lot!

Ron's behavior is definitely beyond the pale. We will learn more about what's going on with him as the story unfolds.I adore Luna myself, and we will be seeing much more of her.Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)

I think Arthur and Molly, as parents themselves, have a good grasp of exactly what Hermione is going through, and are shocked and disappointed by their son's cruelty towards his wife. But there is more to Ron's behavior than meets the eye, and we will get a clear picture of what's going on with him as the story unfolds.We will learn what's happening with Ginny in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)

Ron will definitely end up paying a high price... count on it. But there's also more to what's going on with him than meets the eye and we will learn exactly what as this story continues to unfold.Thanks for taking a moment to review, it's greatly appreciated. :)

Luna is a huge favorite with me as well, and we will definitely be seeing more of her.As for Ron and Lavender, there's more to their story than meets the eye, but both are and will be rapidly wearing out their welcome in the wizarding community.Much more's on the way... I just finished the outline for this story last night, and barring any surprises, this story should have a total of 20 chapters plus an epilogue. If I stay on schedule, the next chapter should be ready for the queue in a day or two.Thanks for reading and reviewing, it's much appreciated! :)

Very well put, And Ron's behavior is definitely way beyond the pale.And thanks! I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying this story. :)

I rather thought that Molly, as a mother herself, might be more inclined to sympathize with Hermione's pain in this situation, rather than automatically taking Ron's side. And after Ron's latest performance, they could clearly see his behavior is irrational. Thanks!

Ron is definitely scary when he's this out of control. Hermione is much safer away from him right now. At least until she gets her bearings.Then it's Ron who had better run.Thanks for taking a moment to read and review. :) 

I am so sorry to hear about your condition, that's so awful!  *Hugs* And of course I won't hold it against you if you find this story too difficult to read. There are things that I, personally, would find very hard to read due to certain RL experiences of my own, so I quite understand.I do appreciate the effort and the compliment as well. Thank you. :)

I never could see Ron and Hermione lasting as a couple either, and while opposites do sometimes attract, I think they are too completely different to realistically work out longterm.You won't have to wait long to see how things develop. The next chapter was just added to the queue this morning. :)

If Ron's smart, he had best start running. Then again, Ron's never exactly been the sharpest knife in the drawer.Thanks for reading and reviewing! : )

Thank you, I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying the story. : )More's on the way. I'm working on the next chapter right now, it should be ready for the queue in a day or so.And thanks for taking the time to review, it's greatly appreciated!

Thank you. Hermione is going through a really painful experience right now, but there is still hope. As for her marriage, I think in time she'll realize that she is better off without such an unsupportive, negative presence in her life.Thanks for taking a moment to review!

Ron is being a real wanker, isn't he? Poor Hermione, indeed. But I think she'll come to see that she's much better off without him.Thanks for taking a moment to review!

Yes, Hermione's definitely going through a rough time right now. But you're right, I believe she will find she's much better off without Ron in her life.Thanks for reading and reviewing! : )

I don't know if actual death is in store for Ron and Lavender, but they will both have to face the music at some point.Thanks for taking the time to review!

Hermione was most definitely caught off guard. I don't think she realized just how far her marriage had deteriorated. Of course, Ron had been drinking, and then there's the Lavender factor. As for how Hermione might react once she's had time to think about Ron's appalling behavior, that remains to be seen. But I agree... Hermione's hardly the doormat type. Ron had better watch his behind, because he will pay dearly, sooner or later.Thanks for reading and reviewing, it's much appreciated! : )

Deteriorated relationships are one thing, being totally unsympathetic to a miscarriage is unforgiveable.  Drinking and Lavender really don't factor in to such abominal behavior.  He deserves whatever he gets!  Can't wait to see what that will be. :)

I agree with you, Ron's total lack of sympathy for what his wife is going through is absolutely inexcusable, and there are no mitigating circumstances for the horrific things he said and did. That was all Ron.The drinking and Lavender's insidious influence excerbated a problem that was already there, but they certainly don't even begin to excuse it, because there is no excuse.At any rate, Ron will be paying a very stiff price for his execrable behavior... and Hermione won't be the only one wanting a piece of Ron's miserable hide. Although I'd say she definitely gets first dibs.

Thanks. And yes, Hermione is definitely going through a rough patch right now. Hopefully, with Ron out of the picture, things will slowly take a turn for the better.I'm working on that update by now, and it should be in the queue in a day or so.Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Judging by the indignant screeches coming from Pig's cage, I think he's quite insulted to be mistaken for his erstwhile master.Thanks for taking a moment to review!
