I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHT TO HARRY POTTER! ALL RIGHTS GO TO JK ROWLING! I am just playing with the plot. A few things before I start the story. One Fred did not die. I could not bring myself to have him killed off. Two I am going to have the start of this story three years after the war. After the prologue, it will be 2 years later. For story purpose, I am going to have Hermione and Draco go through college a little quicker than normal. At this point, they have been in school for two years. So by the next chapter, they are going to be graduated and about to be working at St. Mungo's They did take some time off and left the country. Hey, the wizarding world might do it differently than how we do it. Also if you like Ron, Ginny or Molly this is not going to be a story that you want to read. I do not have a Beta so I am sorry if it is a little rough. One last thing, this is not going to follow JK Rowling's ending. Thank you all for reading my story! I hope you guys enjoy.
It has been a long day. Between being part of the Golden Trio and taking as many classes as I could to become a healer. I was pretty much always busy. Today, I got up early ate breakfast with Ginny. It was something we always did on Friday's. After that Harry asked me to come and have lunch with him. I did not see him often. I had class right before I was supposed to see him so I told him I would be a little later than one o'clock like he wanted. I got there at about 1:20. We ate our food and talked for about an hour before I went back to school for the rest of my classes. I had three more classes. By the time I got home all I wanted to do was sleep. I have always been an overachiever. It annoyed me I would already be a year into school if I would have graduated on time. I know that McGonagall said I did not need to finish school, but I wanted to be a Healer and I needed a degree. Ron and Harry just went straight into being Auror's. It was something they both have always wanted to do. I was proud of both of them.
Today was Ron's and mine Three-year anniversary. I decided that I would skip my class to spend time with Ron. He was an amazing boyfriend. He was always so understanding with my classes. I spent a huge amount of time in the library or at school. Ron and I shared a flat. The flat was near Diagon Alley. Today I Apparated to the front of our Flat. We were in a magical community, so we did not have to worry about using magic. I walked into the flat something felt off. There was something not right. It was too quiet. Usually, Ron was sitting on the couch drinking beer. Maybe he was not home yet. He could have stayed over at work. I shrug my shoulder and I walk into the bedroom to change. I change out of my robes into something more comfortable. I put on a pair of jeans and my Gryffindor T-shirt and walked out to the kitchen.
I liked to cook the Muggle way. It was a lot of fun to do. Actually, I had become friends with Draco during school. He apologized. With Voldemort gone Draco had seemed to relax and be himself. Harry and Ron did not like that I was friends with him. I did not care what they thought. He had proven that he was a better person. He was Head Boy with me. It was a very awkward experience at first but it got better. I also learned that he was a very smart person. We constantly fought on who was the top of the class. I got better grades. We still to this day fight over who is the better student. Today I would make one of Ron's favorite muggle food. Sausage and Mash. I got out all the ingredients and cooked.
It was about thirty minutes of me making the food when the door opened. I smiled at the door only to have my smile drop. Ron had his lips attached to some girl. I did not know who it was, but I dropped the bowl was in my hand. It shattered on the ground. They rip the lips apart and look at me. It hurt, even more, when I saw that it was Lavander Brown. Ron sat there with an oh shit look on his face. Lavender, on the other hand, looked at me with a smudged look on her face.
"Hermione I did not know that you would be home tonight." He said walking towards me.
I pulled my wand out and put it to his throat. "How long?" I asked him. I refused to let him see me cry.
"Two years." He mumbled.
"TWO YEARS! That is almost our whole relationship." I said digging my wand into his neck.
"You were gone at school and then you are always hanging around with Malfoy. I was feeling abandoned." He screamed back at me.
"I am trying to fuller my education to help people. I am hanging around Draco because he is studying the same thing. Also, he is my friend." I said pulling my wand away from him and turning away from him.
"How do I know that you were not cheating on me with him?" He said grabbing my arm.
I turned around and punched him as hard as I could. It was satisfying to hear the crunch of his nose. I am sure I broke it. "I will be here tomorrow to get my stuff. We are over." I said to him.
I walked out of the house and apparated to the outside of Draco's Flat. I walked up to the door and knocked on it. A heard a few crashes in the house and Draco swearing at the objects. He opens the door without a shirt on.
"Hermione what are you doing here? I thought you had plans with Weasley." He said catching his breath.
"He was cheating on me. I caught him making out with Lavander Brown. LAVANDER BROWN! What is this sixth year again?" I cried to him.
"Oh, honey come on in. Just let me tell David that we will have to reschedule." He said guiding me into the flat.
"What a new flavor of the week?" I asked him. Too bad he was standing right there. I heard Draco facepalm. David was attractive. He was about 6"5 with raven black hair. He was built well. He also had baby blue eyes. I can see why Draco liked him.
"Sorry, I will call you," Draco said to him.
"I hope to hear from you soon." He winked at Draco and walked out the door.
Draco waved at him leaving and then shut the door. "Flavor of the week?" He asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders and then flopped on his couch. "What am I going to do? The one guy that I was with for three years cheated on me. Oh, I forgot the best part it was for two years of our relationship." I said to him.
"Do you want me to go kick his butt?" He asked bringing me a shot glass and some fire whiskey.
"That would be tempting but I kind of broke his nose," I said doing a shot.
Draco laughed. "That is great." He said.
"It is my specialty. Punching people in the nose." I laughed back and took another shot. "So tonight we get wasted and tomorrow will you help me get all of my stuff?"
"Where are you going to stay?" he asked me.
"I do not know," I said, looking at my shot glass.
"You can stay here with me. I have more than enough room." He suggested.
"And have to deal with a new guy every week? I don't know." I joked with him.
"I am not that bad, "He said snorting.
"No, you are not. Thank you for letting me stay here." I said, knocking my shoulder into his.
"No problem. Now we can party and study all the time." He said.
"Don't joke with me. I will make you do some hardcore studying." I laughed at him.
He laughed and then got up. He helps his hand out to help me off the couch. I took his hand, and I let him help me off the couch. He drags me to the back of the flat. He took me back to the one room that was just a bed.
"This can be your room." He said.
"Thank you, Draco," I said hugging him. He hugged me back.
"Now I would go to bed. We will go over there and get all of your stuff before our first class." He said grabbing the door and shutting it.
I grabbed my wand and put a silence spell on my room. The nightmares were a real thing. I can still see all the people we lost. I change out of my clothes I was wearing. I slept in my t-shirt and panties. It was all I had for now and it is not like anyone will see me like this. I lay in bed thinking about the day. I was better without him. I would be a strong person. It is not like I will lose everyone I know. I broke up with him but he cheated on me. That was not my fault. I should be able to follow my dreams and become a healer like I want to. I should not have to worry about my partner cheating on me. Let's hope this won't bite me in the butt.
The next morning, I wake up at six. It was my normal time to wake up. I transformed my clothes into robs. Once they were on and my hair was up in a messy bun I walked out of the room and into the kitchen where Draco was reading the morning paper and eating a biscuit.
"Good morning," I said walking to where he was.
"I don't know if it is a good morning. These comes for you." He said pointing to all the pinks letters and the daily paper.
"Wow, he worked fast. I mean Lavander the best gossiper was right there." I said looking at the letters. There was one from Ginny and Molly. They were Howlers. I walked over to the fireplace and threw them in the fire. I did not care what they had to say.
"Did you know that you and I have been having an affair since before the war?" He said, showing me the paper. On the front page in the big letter, there was an article about the breakup.
I took the paper out of his hands and read the paper. "Rita Skeeter would be the one who published this story. She is still trying to ruin my life." I said handing him back the paper.
"Hey, you still have Harry on your side. I don't think he would believe such nonsense." Draco said walking over and hugging me.
I would say something when there was a knock on the door. Draco went to open the door. I walked back to my room. I did not want to be seen here. I trusted Draco but it would look bad if I was here.
"Potter, what an unexpected surprise," Draco said to him. "Why don't you come in?"
"I wanted to drop all of Hermione's stuff off and let her know that I never want to see her again. I can not believe what she did to Ron." Harry said to him.
"Wow. You really are stupid." He said to him.
"Excuse me?" Harry said.
"One Hermione would have never cheated on Ron. Two I love Hermione like a sister. That is all. Hermione is a good person. She was always loyal to you. Are you really going to make her lose all of her family?" He asked him.
"She lost me when she cheated on Ron. If either of you steps out of line, I will not hesitate to throw you guys in Azkaban." Harry said slamming the door.
I sat on my bed taking in the information. I have lost everything. My parents don't know who I am. My other family just disowned me. It was just me. Draco walked into my room and dropped a little bag on my bed.
"I'm so sorry." He said walking over to my bed and putting his arms around me.
"I want to get out of here. I don't care where we go just not here." I said to him. Maybe when I come back things will die down.
"Okay. I will talk to the school and get our schools switched. There is a good school in Romania." He said.
I gave him a small smile.
"Hey, your stuff is already packed." He said.
I laughed at him. "It is."
"I am going to the school and getting up switched. I don't think they will mind. We are almost done with classes. I think after we graduate, then we can stay there for a year and then come back and work. I have a house there." He said getting up.
"That sounds great," I said to him.
"While I am gone, will you work on packing things up. This place will be here when we get back." He said walking out of the door and left to go to the school. I grabbed a box that was sitting in the room's corner. It was empty, so I went out in the apartment and put things that were needed in there. I spent the rest of the afternoon doing that. Not that hard. Magic made packing fun. You could pack so much in a little box. I even packed up Draco's room.
Once Draco came home, he made sure we got everything we needed. We grabbed the few things and started our journey in Romania.
