" I can't take this anymore Ginny! Mentally, his taunting, his games, his endless defilement of my emotions and thoughts; I cannot take it! Why is he so obsessed with torturing me?"
"Maybe its because you've been missing for three years or that you've been avoiding telling anyone where you were. Or maybe it because you left him knowing that he had you so close to falling for him that you couldn't take it anymore and that has been driving him crazy. Better yet, could it be because of Adrian? Am I getting warm Hermione?"
The brunette glared at the fiery red head with tears in her eyes. Ginny was the only one who knew her reasons for leaving and she had thrown them in her face. He was married! How could she have been expected to love him when he would never fully love her back? All he cared about were the nights of torturous pleasure that she brought him in return for his security, his protection. Could she ever tell him about… Oh God! What was she thinking, why did she do this?
" Ginny." She fell into the younger girl's arms and began to sob. The intense love and hate she was feeling encouraged the tears to run from her eyes, taking the majority of the pain she had experienced in the past three years with and heightening it to a point where she could feel a hole in her chest beginning to form.
" You have to tell him. You have to talk to him and convince him to love you. Hermione, it's the only way." Ginny soothed, stroking her friends hair and rocking her, the sobs coming in slow bursts.
" You… yyou don't know whhhatt it's llike… how… horrible hee can make me feeeel about existinggg." She managed to stammer, a heart breaking whine escaping her lips every few words.
" Not as much as you do, no I don't. But he's made us all feel that at some point or another and there is nothing me, my brothers, or Harry can do it about it. This altercation your up against might end up as the hardest thing your ever going to face, I can't do it for you love…" Hermione's tears were beginning to slow.
" How am I going to tell him everything? What if he tries to take Adrian?"
" I hate to say this, really I do, but Draco Malfoy will not be coming within ten meters of my god-son unless you, Harry, Ron, and myself are all present. " Ginny's face became serious making Hermione giggle slightly at her over-protective friend.
"Thank you Ginny." Hermione said, using what was left of her strength to wrap Ginny in a quick embrace as the last few tears trickled from her eyes.
" I'm sorry to interrupt you Ginny, but there's someone here to see you…"
