Hermione walked around her new apartment, she held her stomach tenderly. She had just had the weirdest craving for chocolate ice cream and mashed potatoes. She shook her head not comprehending her situation and walked back to the guys who were waiting for her in the next room.
"The place is awesome, Hermione? How did you find it?" Harry asked her innocently.
"Umm...Draco and I were planning to move her after graduation. When he disappeared I decided to still come. He would have wanted it."
"Hermione, you can talk to us if you ever need to!" Ron said eyeing her suspiciously.
"I know but I'm fine!" She lied "He said that he was coming back for me! So I trust him even if you two still don't! This is the only thing keeping me from snapping my wand in two and going back to live with my parents."
"Just chill, Hermione! We understand how you feel." Harry said.
"Do you? Has Ginny ever disappeared or has Lavender ever disappeared on you Ron? No I don't think they have. So if you'll excuse me I have a lot of decorating to do."
The boys left her standing in her living room feeling dumb. Deciding not to brood too long over stupid shit she went into her bedroom and conjured the things she would need to paint her bedroom.
"Nice going Harry! You just had to upset her! Now we'll never get her to go to the doctor's!" Ron whispered as they stood outside Hermione's apartment building.
"Oh yes we will! Don't forget that we still have Ginny! They were inseparable after Malfoy left her like that. I hate him for making her cry. He better make this right or I will kill him!" Harry whispered back as the cab pulled up in front of them.
Back in Hermione's bedroom she had begun to draw on her walls in a charcoal pencil. She drew his face. Everything needed to be perfect. Every scar right. Every line defined. She needed the sense of unity that his picture gave her. She closed her eyes and let her memories do the drawing. Hermione made his robes billow out behind him. The castle to his left. The forest to his right. The wooden hut behind him and a little to the left. The lake right in front of him.
It was the last time she had saw him. In clothes that is. She smiled to herself and opened her eyes. She looked at the wall and began to cry.
"I can handle this!" she told herself. But as she said this the emotions became too much to handle and she turned her back to the wall.
"Hermione? Hermione!" Ginny walked into the room and stopped at Hermione's side.
"Wow! Hermione it looks exactly like him. And how? Why do you want to put yourself through so much pain?" Ginny asked.
"I'm not putting myself through pain! I need him here with me in some way."
"Oh! Okay! Listen on request I am to take you to the doctor's." Ginny said nervously.
"Why there's nothing wrong?" Hermione said indignantly.
"When was your last period?" Ginny asked eyes full of apprehension.
"Last month why?"
"And did you sleep with Draco during the last month?"
"Yeah right after my last period but I still don't see where this is going. I was careful! There was no way that I could be! Unless...And it would have been easy because we were caught up in the moment. But he's never do that. He knew that his father would kill him."
"So are you going to come with?"
"Yeah but I'm telling you that your wrong!"
