Chapter 2

The proposals: (flashback) 3 months before

She sat by the window curled up on the couch, waiting for a breeze or a cloud to cover the harsh sun. She had hoped to find Harry there already when she had apparated in to his living room from her own flat but instead there was a note on the table with a single red rose.

“Ginny,
Im sorry but im going to be a little bit late you know how goblins are and I had promised to talk to Ron but it might take longer then I thought, there still not talking, ill be there soon.
Love Harry x”

He unlocked his door with his key; he lived as a muggle apart from his job but was hoping to change that later this evening.

“She sat up and was about to speak before he cut her off.
“Hi Gin, what shall we do tonight? I thought about we could sit outside and enjoy the weather while it lasts or I could put the air con on and open a bottle of wine while you order pizza?”
Moving her legs round so he could sit beside her, she allowed him to put his arm around her and kiss her tantalisingly before she spoke.
“I think we should go out?”
He smiled
“Of course you do” he kissed her again and then left to get a shower. They left at Seven, it had cooled down only slightly as they walked down the street and round the corner to the muggle restaurant.
They were placed at a small table outside ordered there favourite wine and a starter. Harry looked across at her and smiled. Being very romantic he had taken her to there restaurant to ask her, the very place and table of there first date, and had planned the evening. They talked of what there days had been like, Harry dealing with disgruntled Goblins of the spells used by dark wizards to protect there vaults from entry by the aurors. Ginny, of her day at quiditch training with the Harpies and there Oliver wood like planning. Then the time came when he discreetly slipped his hand in his pocket to grasp the box with the carefully selected ring inside.

“Gin” he started. She knew this was coming from the moment they sat down at the table and quickly said “I have to go to the loo, sorry it’ll have to wait” she got up and without looking at him went into the toilets. Harry sat flabbergasted at what had just happened and felt the wind being knocked out of him just as he had been building himself up.

“Sorry I just really needed to go” Harry laughed and began again. “Ginny Molly Weasley, this is the table were we had our first proper date and I would like us to have many more dates here, I love you Gin, you’re the only girl for me” he smiled “and I would be honoured if you would marry me” she smiled lovingly at him as he knelt down in front of her and opened the ring box, it was a perfect square cut diamond on a sliver band. “Well it would be my honour to except” and she leaned over and kissed him passionately and knew she never wanted to let go.

They walked home and fell asleep in each others arms lying on the couch with the breeze blowing through the open window.

She woke up that morning enfolded in his arms, they had fallen asleep and the TV was still on. They planned over breakfast the opportune time for them to announce there news to friends and family and settled on an engagement party.

“We have to invite Pascal and Martha you work with him for goodness sake” replied Ginny, Harry had spent the morning trying to convince her not to invite his work colleagues due to there lack of association with them in the first place but she wouldn’t listen.
“I may work with Pascal but it doesn’t mean I like him or his wife!”
“They can come to the engagement party but you going to have to tell him at some point”
“And I will, but for now I have to go into work, enjoy your day off”
Throwing the crusts from his toast in the bin and downing the cup of coffee he grabbed his wand and made a pit stop at the table to kiss her for the hundredth time that morning.

Staring, smiling into her coffee cup for the next half hour she finally decided to move, took a shower, changed into his old green t-shirt and her own denim mini skirt and went for a walk. The weather had continued to hot and sticky from the day before and she sat on a bench feeling the sun on her skin and smelling his scent from the shirt.

A black smart car pulled up beside her and the driver got out walked over and they hugged.
“I got a proposal” she whispered in her ear
“Really?” she looked at her shocked
“Yes, Hermione why do you look so shocked?”
“Well I got one too…” she replied she sentence trailing into nothingness and tears forming in her large brown eyes.

****

Hermione had been sitting in her office discussing the new elf laws and there effect on there closest neighbours France and Germany with representatives from there ministries. They did react openly and seem to want to embrace the plans but she couldn’t shake the feeling that some one was watching her. Once the meeting was over she was heading up to the law enforcement offices when he stopped her grabbed her arm and pulled her into a nearby toilet.

“How have you been Hermione?” he started his eyes a cool grey as she smiled back “all the better seeing you Draco” He stroked her face as they both remembered there previous encounter.


They had sat in her office a two weeks ago, arguing about his family and there refusal to free or pay the three elves in the Malfoy Manor estate but when he approached the door to leave she held her wand preparing to help him go if he wasn’t going to leave peacefully. “What are you planning to do with that rob my wife of her husband? You don’t have it in you!”He walked towards her with out even taking his own wand out of his robe. “There are other ways I could do that with out my wand” she replied. He continued to walk closer a smile on his lips; she raised her wand and closed the blinds with a flick of her wrist. She began to move towards him, “what Ron doesn’t know wont hurt him and he broke up with me!” she thought. He kissed her like she had never been kissed before.

“I’ll leave her for you, I know you want me to” Draco said snapping her back into reality, “no” She replied “I … I don’t know any more “. As she broke down in tears, it’s been two weeks since then and Ron has really been trying to be nice, I… I … “she stammered “I can’t go after lust when I’ve lost love”
“Weasley doesn’t deserve you”
“And that makes you think you do, I know your wife Draco and I haven’t looked her in the eye since you have to leave me alone” Hermione snapped, tears rolling down her checks.
“you cant just go like that, I like you Hermione, I maybe married to Cecilia but it doesn’t mean I like her or she likes me it was just convenient to marry her”
“Go now and don’t come near me again!”She shouted “He left slamming the door as she slid down the wall crying “what have I done” she thought. Ten minutes later after she had cleaned up her face ignored questions from other employees asking what was wrong and walked back to her office she realised she had a visitor. “Ron!”
*****

It had been yet another day at the office for Ron as he sat with Harry going through piles of paperwork and discussing the goblin visit when Harry brought up Hermione.
“Just talk to her mate” he started “it will be ok but you have to explain why you broke up in the first place”
“The thing is Harry I don’t know why” Ron looked at him miserably “why can’t I have what you and Ginny have”
“You will, someday you just have to work at it, even Ginny and I have are differences, which reminds me I have to go before im even more late and she does that bat bogey thing on me”
“Ok, see you tomorrow”
“Ok mate, just talk to her you’ll see” he patted Ron on the shoulder and apparated.
“Just talk to her” he repeated to himself a mantra in his head.
He got up and walked to the lift got in and some how found himself in her office but she wasn’t there”
He nearly got up to leave when he heard her. “Ron!”

“Hello Hermione, can I ask you something?”
“Of course, you can ask about me anything, what’s on your mind?”She said trying to hide the surprise, shock and terror in her voice.
‘Would you marry me?”
Lost for words she began to rely on logic “you mean hypothetically of course” he laughed “no, im being serious, would you Hermione Jean Granger marry me?”
“I can’t”
“Why not Hermione am I too poor for you, to pathetic or do you just not love me the way I love you?”
“It’s not that …I’ve been going out with...With...With someone else” she cried tears rolling down her porcelain cheeks.
“In two weeks you’ve moved on! With who, tell me Hermione, with who!?” angry tears falling from his side of the table. “You’ll never forgive me” she cried “ill have lost you forever”, “who Hermione!” he demanded “Draco Malfoy” she replied in a small voice, “Malfoy…he’s married” was his only response, she fell on her knees crying when she looked up he was standing over her looking down into those eyes he loved so much. “Please don’t tell any one, please im so sorry Ron please”
“Why?” and with that apparated from the room.

He refused to tell any one anything except that he had proposed and she had said no, whereas Hermione had confided in Ginny but refused to let her tell any one not even Harry.

good so far!!

Chapter 3

The honeymoons officially over

Harry collapsed on the couch in his flat. “I can’t wait to move in should we start tonight?” He said as Ginny plopped herself down beside him, “I don’t know, I cant really be bothered and Ron said he’d come tomorrow to help out” “well how about I make us some dinner, and we pack some stuff away cause I’ve got to actually appear to be moving out due to my muggle neighbours, I cant just send stuff through the fire place”
“You could, but I think ill cook I don’t want food poisoning and have to spent tomorrow in the toilet” “My cooking cant be that bad, the Dursley’s didn’t seem to mind”
“Just keep in mind I married you cause I love you and not for your cooking skills” She giggled and placed a kiss on his forehead as she got up and walked into the kitchen “well ok,… it’s a good job you moved here before we got married or we would have to empty your flat as well although I don’t really care for your decorating skills” He said laughing as he picked up a rather lacy undergarment off a heater. “Hey I was wondering were that went, I knew I put it somewhere safe do dry” as she waved her wand and it flew into an open box of her clothes. Harry shook his head smiling and began to pack the rest of his books off a nearby shelf.


*****

“What am I going to do Romlin?” He sighed shuffling papers on his desk “Ronald I honestly have no idea about your love life but I can say Pascal wont be happy if you haven’t sorted out those files on Azkaban before you leave to help Harry and your sister move in tomorrow”
“I know I’ll do them at home tonight”
“just finish up here, go home, have some fire whiskey and forget about her” said Romlin glancing at him as Ron proceeded to thump his head against his desk. “Thanks but no thanks” he replied “I shall call her on the felly tone” he said triumphantly as he stood up and grabbed the papers on his desk. “Don’t you mean telephone?” said Romlin but Ron had apparated to his London flat before he could give a reply. He went into his kitchen poured a glass of fire whiskey knowing he would need it, turned on his air conditioner with a flick off his wand, sat on his couch, took a sip feeling it burn his throat, then picked up his own phone and began to dial.

Hermione was sitting in her living room surrounded by text books, broken quills and parchment, the wizard radio was playing a classical number by a renowned witch nose flute player Malanda Winthrop, and the curtains fluttered in the breeze from an open window. She just reached out for her glass of cool pumpkin juice when the phone rang. “That’s odd” she said to a fat orange crook shanks curled next to her on the couch. “No one phones me apart from Harry, Ginny, my parents and Ron but since four of them are on holiday and ones not talking to me who could it be” she got up and answered it. “Hello, Hermione Granger speaking”
“We need to talk”
“Thankyou Ron,”
“Im not doing this for you, but I can’t not be your friend we’ve been through to much”
“Can’t we talk face to face then?”
“Not yet, I can’t bring myself to look at you at the moment”
Silent tears fell from her eyes as she looked guiltily at the floor “I know you’ll never forgive me, I know I made a big mistake with what I did and I’ve been paying for it ever since by not having you in my life”
“I want to know why you did it and how you thought Malfoy could possibly mean anything to you”
“I don’t know why Ron, its been 3 months since it happened and nothing become any clearer accept that he was there we argued, he showed an interest in me after you dumped me and I was weak”
“So it was my fault?”
“I know im to blame, I had a choice and I picked lust over love and have regretted it ever since, but we were over and he was there”
“He was there!” said Ron anger rising in his voice “that’s your reason, he was there!”
“Yes” Said Hermione “and you weren’t, he’s changed Ron, he’s not the same boy we hated in school, he’s passionate, caring and” “And MARRIED HERMIONE”
It felt like someone had stabbed him in the chest. “Have you been with him again?” he said trying to control his voice
“Once, weeks ago, but its all over now I told him to leave me alone” was her reply “Ron why did you break up with me in the first place?”
“I dont know, we were fine, i think i made a mistake Hermione”
“What do you mean?!”
“I didn’t think I loved you I..I.. I should leave you alone, bye Hermione” and with that he hung up.
“Ron, Ron” she called down the phone but to no avail
There was a flash of green in her fire place and a figure stepped out of the flames.

“Hello Hermione”

Oooh... Mysterious person steeping out of fire place...

And whats got into Ron? One minute he was like 'Why him? I still love you and will protect you blah, blah blaah' and then he was like 'Don't come near me'...

PAMS!

“Aren’t you happy to see me?” he said sneering at the look of disbelief on Hermione’s face. “How can you get in here this house is protected?” “You forgot you brought me back here to talk remember” He said as he walked towards her his wand pointing at her chest. “I do unfortunately but I also remember telling you to leave me alone twice already”
“Im just a glutton for punishment” he said as he picked up the glass of pumpkin juice, took a swig and threw it against the wall. He smiled at her but she couldn't look at him and focused on the juice dripping down the wall behind him.

“Look at me Hermione, I can’t live like this any more, I have to be with you” She refused to look up “I can’t, I won’t” He placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her forcefully towards the wall, he held her there “and you think you belong to Weasley, is that why you were calling his name? I Heard he dumped you, you’re a free agent now” She reached in her jeans pocket for her wand but he was too quick “you won’t need that where we’re going” He took it and placed in his robes still pointing his own at her “where do you think im going with you?” She said calmly placing a hand on the side of his face and looking into his eyes. “Anywhere” he said as he placed his own hand over hers, still on his face, and they apparated.

Chapter 4

The forgotten kiss

“Harry! Its eight O’clock” called Ginny walking to the bedroom door “you need to get up before Ron gets here” she said peering through the door a McDonald’s ™ coffee in her hand “ok, ok “he replied sleepily “I don’t understand how you can be so awake so early”, “I did share a bathroom queue with eight other people in the mornings, oh and I got you some breakfast since we packed the kitchen”

There was a knock at the door. “Coming” called Ginny “Harry!” He had gotten up and sneaked up to her when she wasn’t looking. “let go I have to answer the door” she said pretending to be cross as he picked her up and carried her to the door, “put me down” she tried to sound stern but couldn't help giggling. He did put her down but kissed her holding on with one hand and opening the door with the other.

“For crying out loud do you have to do that all the time, it’s too early in the morning and I’ve just had my breakfast” Said Ron as he avoided there embrace, walked past them into the living room and threw himself on the couch. “Sorry” said Ginny as she sat down beside him “He snuck up on me” she said childishly as she hugged her brother, “Sorry mate, it’s all my fault, you see I married her and now she wont leave me alone” said Harry laughing as he wandered into the kitchen “Your so funny Mr Potter just wait till I tell my mum” He faked a shocked look “you wouldn’t dare”
“Oh yes she would mate, just be careful or you’ll be going to work as a toad in a jar” said Ron laughing at best friend and sisters antics. “Well while you two catch up im off for a shower” said Harry taking gulp off coffee and heading into the bathroom.

“So Ginny how was Paris and spare me the lovey dovey stuff?” started Ron “As you can probably tell we had a wonderful time but lets talk about you and Hermione” She looked at him concern etched on her freckled face, his eyes were sad his face pale. “im fine, I spoke to her last night, she told me why she did what she did, I cant understand what would drive her to pick him out of everyone but she did say she had been with him again, but suspect she told you that anyway ?” “Yes” said Ginny feeling ashamed by her display of affection with Harry seeing him so heart broken. “Did she say she was sorry?” He nodded “she’s been saying it for three months but I can’t get over her Ginny, she’s all I think about and it’s driving me mad, im just so confused everyone says talk to her and im trying I really am that’s why I phoned her but she makes me angry and Im making it hard for myself”
“I know its hard Ron, but you’ll get through it and you never know you might still be friends, you have been so for eleven years, with only four of those in a relationship with her. It takes time to forgive and forget” Ron smiled at her “you always know what to say, but can we talk about something else I need distraction” Ginny returned the smile hugged him began to talk about Paris.

Harry came out “so all caught up Ron” He laughed “yep let’s get going then” he said getting up off the couch “why don’t we take this first Harry” said Ginny pointing to the couch “how?” said Ron “its to big for the fireplace” Ginny and Harry laughed “we hired a van Ron, we have got to look as if we’re moving out for the neighbours benefit since there all muggles” Ron patted Harry on the back you just like to make more work for your self by keeping up appearances, lets get them downstairs then” It took them a few hours to load there belongings in to the van and then drive to there destination.

“There it is” Said Ginny as they arrived on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole and pointed to a small cottage at the end of the road and down a long drive way. “Home Sweet Home” said Harry as he parked the van.

“Hermione will be here soon” said Harry as they began to unload “Why?” Said Ron “Because she offered to drive my car here and the van back otherwise I would have had to go back and make the trip twice and wouldn’t be able to unpack, since Ginny didn’t see the point in learning to drive “Ginny gave him a look of fake offence at his comment “um ok well I’ll just go before she gets here and avoid the awkwardness” said Ron.

They unloaded the van using there wands and hours later they sat on the couch tired and drinking coffee to stay awake “I wonder if Hermione got lost, Harry maybe we should check her flat “said Ginny “What time did she say she would be here?” piped up Ron “about three” said Harry looking at his watch “but its five now and there hasn’t been an owl or patronus message” Ginny and Harry both instinctively looked at Ron “lets go to her place” he said looking into his coffee cup.




******
“Where are we?” She couldn’t see a thing but felt his hand in hers and immediately pulled hers away “I can’t tell you Hermione” He pulled he along behind him until they reached a large room, it looked like a library with the bookshelves along the walls a desk covered in a dusty white sheet to one side of the room and a large globe in the corner. “tell me where we all” He pushed her into a chair behind the desk and used his wand to conjure ropes to bind her “I can’t tell you don’t ask again, im sorry about these” pointing at the ropes “but we can’t have you leaving me now can we” he said a look of sorrow on his face “you don’t need to do this, I came with you willingly so you wouldn’t have to hurt anyone” he smiled “Hurt, I could never hurt you my love” He walked over to her and kissed her forcefully on the lips, she tried to move her face and but he wouldn’t let her. He knelt down in front of her, “it only been a year, don’t you remember, you came to me when Ron wanted a break”
“Yes, I asked you over to you to talk but you kissed me and I told you to leave me alone, I would never cheat on Ron, and I would never make you cheat on your wife, you were supposed to be, my friend”

He picked her up off the chair and carried her to a door not far down the corridor they had apparated into. She looked around, it had once been a bedroom, a large wooden four poster sat in the centre with a wardrobe and green peeling paper covered the walls. He placed her on the bed and sat down beside her. “Sleep, you look tired” he said as he kissed her on the fore head “ill be next door if you want me” He got up and placed the covers over her bound body “Good night” He left her in shock surely he had gone mad. He was acting so normally as if binding her and putting her to bed was the most natural thing in the world.

She fell asleep after sometime and woke to the smell of fresh coffee. “Good Afternoon” He said as he released her from her bindings, “the bathroom is in there” he said pointing to a door , there are clothes in the wardrobe and lunch will be served in the dinning room in twenty minutes” He smiled “oh and there’s no way out the house is magically sealed”

She sat looking at him across the table
“When people realise were gone we can move away before they come snooping around but I know they’ll never think to look for us here”
“I never told Ron you kissed me, I forgot about it; to me you are just a bad memory”
He ignored her, so she continued.
“There will be people looking for me im supposed to be at Harry and Ginny’s at three, there moving in to there new house” she tried to stay calm and wanted him to let her go on the pretence of keeping up appearances so that she could get away with out having to harm him. “Your not going anywhere” he said firmly “two women have already left me I wont let it happen to a third” She began to lose her cool “what if I told you I don’t love you, I never have and I that I want Ron here not you, I want Ron to be with me, to kiss me and to never see you again” he looked at her as if his heart had been broken but his face changed he looked almost manic “I don’t believe you Hermione” He said raising his wand and he lifted her up in the air she screamed “put me down please, I never meant it, im sorry im just scared” He glanced at her and lowered her to the ground “scared how can you be scared of me I love you” he put his wand in his robes and walked over to her he pulled her into an embrace and gently kissed her she shivered and felt a sickly feeling come over her.

She thought ‘I've got to get out of here’ as she slipped her hand in his robes and felt for her wand; grasping it she carefully placed it inside her own. He let her go and didn’t seem to notice the wand was missing.They sat down again “who were the first and second women who left you?"
“My so called mother” he replied angrily “she moved to Italy, found her self a rich wizard and divorced my father, she’s a Ribosi now and wants nothing to do with me I’m a just her ex husbands son, I was a nobody at the ministry and im a nobody to her the same as I was to my wife”
“But your not any more, you have moved on, we all have” Said Hermione trying to think of a way to get him to tell her where they where.
“And so did my wife she moved on to Draco Malfoy”
“What!”

Chapter 5

She’s with Malfoy?

“I’ll organise the van being taken back “Said Harry as he grabbed some floo powder at the fireplace and stuck his head in the flames “19 May view place” Ginny looked at Ron confused “Romlin” he told her.
“Hi there Romlin, I was wondering if you could do a favour for me” said Harry looking at his blonde haired work mate sitting on a couch surrounded by papers “sure Harry, but what is it first” he replied eying harry suspiciously “Well I know how you love to drive” he said smiling “so could you take our moving van back, its for muggle purposes I would use magic but it would be hard to explain it coming out of an thin air without some memory charms” Romlin smiled back “and what’s in it for me?” Harry laughed “How about I take those sightings in Coventry off your hands , and some of my new wife’s cooking when you come over for dinner” Romlin got up and took a hand full of powder “ done! Now get your head out of my fire so I can come through before I change my mind” Harry got up and stepped back, “ok now we can go” said Ron “Go where?” asked Romlin “erm to look for someone” said Ginny as she handed the keys to Romlin “thanks” as they all apparated to Hermione’s flat.

“Hermione” called Ginny “are you here?” They spread out to look the “the phones off the hook” called Harry as he entered the living room “and there’s juice on this wall and glass on the floor” said Ron .Ginny walked in from the bedroom “there’s no one here, im going to check the ministry” she said she hugged Ron and kissed Harry “be careful, both of you” “we are aurors” said Ron “will be fine you just look after your self” She apparated and Harry immediately turned to Ron “where could she be, she wouldn’t just leave without telling any one Ron” He looked miserable as he sat on the couch “ Harry you’d better sit down, I’ve got something to tell you about Hermione.”

“I can’t believe it Ron, Malfoy he’s married isn’t he?!” Ron nodded “she says he’s changed he’s passionate and he was there when I wasn’t” Harry looked at Ron “Malfoy!” he exclaimed “yes, no need to rub it in Harry” Said Ron angrily “No Ron she’s with Malfoy” Ron stood up as he got madder “I GET IT HARRY ” as he grabbed his wand and pointed it at him “no Ron” said Harry calmly “ think about it, she’s WITH Malfoy” Ron lowered his wand as it dawned on him “oh” he collapsed on the couch “No ! She told me it was over with them” Just then Ginny appeared he face pale “She’s not there” as she sat down beside Harry “She’s with Malfoy apparently” said Ron in a small voice looking and feeling as if he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.
“What? I though you told me this morning it was over between them?” Harry interrupted before Ron could reply “Hold on you knew, you knew and never told me” Ron looked at his sister and then turned to Harry “we didn’t think you should know, Hermione thought you’d never speak to her again if you knew so I told Ginny not to tell you, its my fault Harry don’t be mad at her”

“Well Hermione’s right, but I suppose I wouldn’t have reacted well and im surprised You haven’t killed him Ron!” as he reached out and held Ginny’s hand “ I haven’t had the opportunity” Said Ron looking furiously at the carpet ”She wouldn’t have got with Malfoy willingly, would she ?” replied Ginny. Harry shrugged “it looks like they had argument, she wouldn’t not miss a day of work she’d owl a message in sick a least” “So where would he take her?” questioned Ron as he got up and began to pace his agitation getting the better of him “Well your the dark wizard hunters” Said Ginny “Dark wizards, not crazy ones” Said Harry “I thought they where the same thing” said Ginny “what about old Malfoy manor it hasn’t been lived in for years since Lucius was put away, Narsissa fled to avoid the same fate as her husband and Draco married and moved away” Harry looked at Ginny and then spoke to Ron “Surely he wouldn’t go back there, wouldn’t he think that’s the first place we’d look?” Ginny nodded in agreement but Ron replied “not if he’s not thinking straight, I have to go; this is the only lead we’ve got”
“Ok but we’re going, I don’t know what makes you think we’ll let you go alone Ron” Said Ginny getting up and pulling him into a hug “I love her Ginny, I have to stop him before he does something stupid”

*****
He Stared at her in surprise, “its true, Hermione, she met him that day she came in to the office to tell me she was going to her parents for a week cause they were ill”
She couldn’t speak, “You know I said I’d go with her and that you would have to find some one else to help you with the S.P.E.W campaign in Belgium”
“I know, but Draco? Are you sure?”
“Yes she told me four months ago she was leaving me, for him and then a month later came to my doorstep telling me he’d left her pregnant and finished there affair, that he wanted his wife”
She kept herself from telling him who he had moved on to and knew it wasn’t back to his wife. “And what did you do to her, why didn’t you tell anyone what was going on?”
“I packed the rest of her stuff and told her to go to her parents, why would I want her when I
