Author's Note: Hey everyone. So here is a shot I wrote for my good friend on tumblr, Wirda (contra1veritas). She also made a graphic for it and I will be posting it shortly in my profile. Anyway, just posting here since some people requested me to do so. I will also be posting on H&V later. :)

Chapter 1: Over and Done With
"Draco!" a voice called out as someone else Disapparated away from the flat. "Draco, wait!"
Ignoring the call of his name, he continued walking through the hallway and down a set of stairs briskly. He pushed the main door open with so much force that it caused the door to bang loudly against the wall. The neighbour's dogs began to bark hysterically.
"Please! Don't go!" Hermione cried as she grabbed his hand.
Just feeling her hand on his, he recalled with vivid clarity where that hand had been and pulled it back harshly. But to his dismay, he accidentally smacked the side of her face - hard. The resounding smack echoed as they stood in front of the building's entrance.
His eyes widened in horror as he saw her cup her cheek with tear-filled eyes but he quickly composed himself and sent her a cold glare.
"I'm-"
"Don't," she replied. "I know it was an accident."
He released a heavy breath through his nose as he focused his sight across the street. He doesn't move or make to leave again.
Neither says anything and all that they can hear is Hermione's neighbour trying to quiet his dogs again.
"It's not what it looked like," she says quietly.
"No?"
"No."
"So you weren't snogging the life out of Zabini just now?"
"I...yes. But I was trying to stop-"
"You're such a fucking liar! I know what I saw. You were enjoying it."
"I was not!"
"Oh no? Then were those sighs and moans I heard from my imagination?"
"Well…no, but-"
He scoffed. "Father was right about you."
"Drac-
"He always said that your kind were nothing but whores. You're just another dirty Muggle, with no morals whatsoever. Or sense of loyalty. You're nothing more than a filthy little Mudblood slut."
She gasped sharply, her eyes widening in hurt surprise. It felt as if he had slapped her again. Did he really just call her a slut? And a Mudblood?! It had been years since he had ever tossed her that insult with such venom.
"I feel like such a fucking idiot," he went on, ignoring her reaction. "I never should have thought that you were going to be any different."
She finally snapped out of her stupor.
"Then you really are an idiot if you believe what is blatantly not true! Draco, you've known what kind of person I am for years and specifically this last year in our relationship. Have I once done something to prove you otherwise? No! Because I never have! And never will! Never!"
"Bullshit! You were about to shag one of my mates just now!"
"For Merlin's sake! I wasn't-"
"Save it. It's over."
She gaped in shock. "What?"
"Are you deaf? I said it's over."
"What-no! You can't possibly end us over this!"
"Oh yes, I can and I just did! So get the hell out of my life!"
She cried as she made her way towards him. "Draco, please! Let me explain!"
"I said save it! I don't give a fuck!"
Before she could touch him again, he Disapparated away.
She fell to her knees and bursts into tears as the cracking sound disappeared.
"It's done."
"You're certain that Draco saw you?"
He gave the man a cold smile. "He saw more than what was necessary."
"And what of their engagement?"
"Broken."
"Does he suspect any foul play?"
"Only from Granger."
With a small lift of his lips and a nod of his head in satisfaction, the man dug his hand into his cloak's pocket to retrieve a bag of galleons. He placed it on the table.
"Well done, Mr. Zabini. I trust that this will be more than enough to cover your debts."
Blaise scowled. "I wouldn't have been in debt in the first place if you hadn't frozen my accounts."
"Oh, come now. I know very well that you were just as unhappy with Draco's match as I. My son deserves better than that filth."
"Despite what I feel, it was his choice."
"Pah! It doesn't matter. What's done is done. Thank you for your diligent and thorough assistance," Lucius replied while sending him a cruel smirk.
With a look of disgust, Blaise snatched the bag from the table and stormed out of the dingy pub they had met. He was very unhappy about the way he had been manipulated to interfere. Not only had he broken a relationship but he also destroyed a friendship as well.
But that guilt didn't really cover the surprise he felt. It was amazing to see how easily Draco had been swayed by what he had seen. Didn't he know Granger at all?! They had been together for over two years for him to suddenly put end to it over one night. Blaise had always considered them to be a strong couple.
Apparently, they weren't as strong as he had thought.
Because if Draco truly believed that that brief interlude was to be real, then he truly was an idiot.
A/N: Hope that was enjoyable! Please review :)
