Stay the Night

Chapter 1

Turning on the faucet, Hermione quickly rubbed her hands together, getting lather out of her face scrub. She began to scourge her face, trying to rid her pores of the germs they'd accumulated throughout the night and the memories of kisses placed their years ago

"I love you Hermione," he said with a smile – a genuine smile.

"And I love you, too," she said, smiling back, "how could I not, with that adorable face."

He leaned down and kissed her face, every little space he could fit his lips. "Man, I don't know what I would do without you. . ."

Over the years, this daily ritual brought tears to her eyes, but there were simply no more tears left in her.

POP!

Hermione threw the towel she had used to dry her face onto the floor, and walked swiftly into the foyer of her flat.

"Who's there?" she asked, unable to mask the mix of curiosity and fear in her voice.

"I'd have thought you would've blocked me from apparating here. Though, I can't say I'm not flattered."

Choosing her words carefully, Hermione replied. "I didn't think I'd see you again. You have no reason to apparate here – you have no reason to be here at all."

"I'd beg to differ, you see-,"

"Oh, let me guess. You want your engagement ring back. You know what, you are so predictable. If it's what you want, it's probably still sitting in the gutter I threw it in two years ago. Now leave."

He cringed, but quickly fixed his face into a smug smirk. "My dear 'Mione, I can honestly say I am not hear for that ring, as offended I am that you did not keep it- or at least pawn it; that thing was worth a lot of money."

"I don't care how much you paid for the ring. Just leave."

"Testy, testy. . . Are you on your period – no wait, that's not until the third week of the month. No matter, I would just warn you not to speak to Draco Malfoy that way. I know it's been a while since you've been back in Wizarding London, but I must say I hold more power than you could fathom. You wouldn't want to lose this nice apartment you have, would you?" That damn smirk was plastered on his face again.

"Hmm, let's see. Three years ago you just up and left me without any kind of explanation other than 'Don't question your superiors, mudblood' after ridding me of my virginity, and now you are sitting here with that smirk on your face. You broke my heart, and there is a strong possibility that I will never love again, so I can honestly say there's not a damn thing you could take from me, that you already haven't taken. Now. Get. Out."

"If those are the games you want to play Hermione, so be it."

"Oh yea, and don't call me Hermione. It's Granger to you."

POP!

And he was gone.

A/N: Good, or no! Well, I don't know if I should continue, I guess it just has to do with if anyone liked this or not. . . please review and tell me if it completely sucked or not. . .Thanks
