Chapter 1

He stayed with her

Hermione sat in front of her mirror and sighed. Luna Lovegood... Her Fiance thought Luna Lovegood was more desirable than her. He called her Loony. He picked on her, yet he had the nerve to cheat on her. Luna was supposedly her friend. She was with Ron for 4 years. Now he decides to tell her he had been with Luna for 2 years. Half of the time they shared he was just pretending. He was never going to even tell her. She had to come home earlier as a surprise and catch them in the act on HER kitchen counter.

She was stupid really for ever thinking someone could like her, let alone be in love with her. It seemed impossible then. She was always the bookworm the brainiac. She was never a lover a wife a girlfriend a fiancé. SHe was stupid to think she could be. Girl's like her get monuments and awards. Not husbands. Not love. Those were for pretty girls and she was not one of them. She moved out yes, but she still loved him. SHe always loved him that would never change. Ron has her heart, but she doesn't have his. She just had to accept it.

She glanced at the clock and sighed. If she didn't show up at the burrow Ginny would come and get her. She was told to bring a date, but she couldn't do that. No guy would want her, but to shut up Ginny she said she was bringing Cormac...which was a lie of course. She couldn't bring a date to see Ron all alone with all his brothers happy as can be.

It turned out her decision was wrong. She finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door. When did this happen? This place used to be like her second home, now she is terrified to even knock on the door... The door flew open and her friend greeted her with a look of pure pity.

She almost scowled at her friends look. She was Hermione Granger. She of all people shouldn't need pitying! Ginny asked slowly and uneasy her expression growing more nervous by the minute,"Where's..."

Then she saw her. The blonde haired girl she considered her friend. The girl she hadn't seen since she was sprawled naked on her kitchen counter top only a few months ago. He dared to bring her? He dared to bring His mistress to a family gathering? He is still with her? All the things she wanted to say. She zoned out focussing her vision the the blonde talking to molly with that dazed expression as she clutched onto her Exfiance's arm. finally she realized Ginny was talking to her telling her to talk to her later.

She uncomfortably made her way past all the happy cheerful redheads to sit on the couch alone. She felt like braking down and crying. Had she not been good enough? Had she really been that ugly that Ron took Luna Lovegood? The girl he made fun of? Was she really that awful to be with? Before she knew it the pain she felt was masked by anger and hate and she directed her gaze to Ron and Luna who were both oblivious to her.

Her scowl softened a bit at the sight of the eldest weasley handing her a drink. Usually she would decline, but it was going to be a long night and she didn't think she could get through it if she was sober.

"Fluer you are mine not anyone else's"

"it was dancing Bill!"

"I smell him on you!" he growled as he smelt the air ,"you Are Mine!"

Sh roiled her eyes and pursed her lips and he yelled,"You Are MY WIFE!"

" That was before you got those scars!"

"OUT!" he shouted at her as he turned to go to their bedroom

"bill I didn't mean it like..."

"GET OUT NOW!" he said as he through a picture of them out. A window causing the window to shatter.

"bill I love..."

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" he said as he punched his fist straight through the wall

Fluer backed away fearing he would be next and apparated to her parents house.

That was the last time he ever saw her. He considered her his mate, well almost. She would always stop before it gotten too far. He used to think she was nervous,but now he knows it was out of disgust.

She was repelled by his scars his behavior. Was repulsed by the wolfish qualities that he adapted.

He saw how she was now. How could he have been so blind? How could he have been so blinded by beauty that he failed to see her soul that was nothing short of ugly. Her personality that ,was uglier then any scar he has. His scars are only the outside,but hers are burned deep into her soul.

She was now remarried with a little girl living out near her parents. He hasn't seen her since their divorce was clarified 2 years ago, that day he saw the wicked women she really was. She had tricked him into thinking she was sweet and kind. Now there was no pretending she was rude and cruel.

As they walked away she said,"I never thought you were zat good-looking before now you are truly repulsive. You will never get any girl better zen me."

Bill sat on his bed and growled at the memories that were burned deeply into his mind. He stepped up and flooded the burrow. He didn't want to go but his mother was making him.

Once he was there he found the living room full of his brothers and sister and all their significant others even the twins settled down and he was there alone.

His gaze fell upon his youngest brother with Luna Lovegood. He was supposedly engaged to Hermione for the past year. So seeing him with Luna came as quite a shock. Maybe he should have read all the letters his family mailed him instead of just tossing them away? Too late now.

"where's Hermione?"He asked casually and not to anyone particular.

"she should be here soon..." Ginny said scowling at Ron.

Bill was about to ask what happened between them as a loud crack echoed from the doorstep. She was here. And alone. Ginny sighed and ran to her friend.

"where's..."Ginny started

Hermione saw Luna and started a scowl and looked as though she were about to start a screaming match when she snapped out of it and nodded at Ginny's whispers.

Bill never said anything to her, but could tell she felt awkward. It was new years eve and she was alone. He could almost hear her thoughts the way she scowled at his youngest brother. The way she sat fiddling with her thumbs on the edge of the couch looking as though any minute she would jump up and run out the door.

Bill walked to her handing her a glass of fire whiskey. They didn't need to say anything both knew what the other was thinking. They felt the same. She gladly accepted the glass and patted the seat next to her. It was only 9 which meant they had to suffer 3 more hours of being alone and miserable best not to be sober for it.


It was now 11:30 and almost everyone in the room was very drunk. The only person who close to sober was Molly and Arthur,but even they were a bit tipsy.

Bill and Hermione were still on they couch only much closer now and laughing at each other's usually painful memories...

"oh! That's nothing! well Ron proposed to me after we dated for about 4 years and I come home earlier from work to find him with LUNA on our kitchen counter!"

"that's bad but my ex-wife sends me Christmas cards of her and her family just to get me mad."

"well my ex-fiancé brought his MISTRESS to a family party! And I'm here all alone."

"why are you alone?" Bill asked clearly not as drunk as her, but still enough to numb the pain he usually felt.

"well I told Gin I didn't want to make things awkward by bringing a date..."

"that's the truth?"

"No! The truth is what man would want an ugly bookworm who cries all the time over being cheated on?"

"My dear you are anything but ugly." Bill replied taking another swig of the 3rd bottle of firewhisky they opened that night.

"Thanks Bill your pretty damn sexy as well...HEYY! Don't drink it all! Save me some." She said nearly tackling him in her attempt to snatch the bottle

Bill hugged the bottle to his chest as he said,"nah... I like it and it is the last bottle..."

She wrestled him for the bottle giggling the entire time.

Once the bottle was empty they started sharing secrets with one another it was now 11:55.

"okay so don't laugh but I have never been kissed at midnight..."

"NEVER? You dated Ron for 4 bloody years!"

"He was never around. Now I know he was with Luna, usually I spent it alone..."

"that brother of mine is a bloody git to want her over you."

"your sweet when your drunk bill..."

He smirked at her and when he was about to say something when he heard Fred and George start chanting,"10...9...8...7..."

He looked at Hermione who was watching the screen with a sad smirk and scooted towards her she raised an eyebrow at him,but said nothing.

"4...3...2.." Bill crashed his lips against hers. Mentally blaming it on the alcohol. After a few seconds her surprise ended and she kissed him back. It felt like an eternity, but neither one felt the need to break this kiss, Until Hermione was elbowed sharply by Ginny, who seemed to be the only one who noticed them. Hermione's head was spinning and she felt very tired.

"Bill... I'm tired." Were the last words Hermione was able to slur out. She said them low and quietly as the blackness enveloped her like a blanket. She was asleep before she heard his response.

Bill laughed at the Witch and picked her up. Even though he was drunk as she was he had often been in this place with Fluer who was never really able to keep her liquor down. Everyone was still celebrating the new year. The twins blasting Fireworks no one even noticed Bill when Bill Flooed them both to her flat.

He went to put her in her bed but she wouldn't release her grip around his neck. Then she mumbled,"stay please."

It was barely audible ,but he heard it. The more sober part told him she thought he was Ron. She didn't remember it was him. Didn't remember their brake-up, But the other part which missed having a witch laying next to him. The part that longed for him to wake up next to a beautiful girl again. The part that thrived to be with someone. He hated being alone. Even as a child he never really was alone in the burrow. He was also too tired to fight the urge to lie down. Whatever the reason he stayed with her.

A/N: Well this is the first chappy of my Bill/Hermione fanfic. Don't wory it will speed up. I think I made everything clear enough. Fluer left bill because she was concerned with looks and the qualities he adapted were repulsing her(in short she was an insane bitch). That happened a year ago. A few months prior to this Hermione found Ron with Luna While she was enganged to him. She broke it off. I think I made it all understandable though. I know this ship isnt very common but please read/Follow/ Review/ Favorite like you guys did with my Fred ones I have a really good feeling about this story ...REVIEW
