Heartbreak Down

"Ahhh I see you got my message Miss Granger please take a seat" She was nervous Albus thought as she quietly sunk into the bright red comfy chair in front of his desk

"y-yes sir" Stuttering as she noticed that that once well known twinkle had dissapeared entirely from his eye which made her feel worse if she was to be honest

"now i know you must have many questions but please i implore you to leave them to the end as i am about to explain everything i know of this law to you and i may answer some questions that you allready may have"

"yes sir thank you"

"right well as you have allready figured out, you unlike every other student, is not exempt from this new found law. The law states that they will send you a match tomorrow at 7:00am. Only then we will know the total severity of everything. I myself have just recieved a letter stating that you will be attached with someone close seeing as you have your NEWTS."

Hermione went to interupt "but who-"

"I dont know Miss Granger the other staff have been informend of your certain predicament and will try to make things easier for you"

"i don't want things to be made easier"she clearly stated "i want to be the same"

"except your not,you will have to deal with things that the others will not have to"

"l-like w-what"

Here came the hard part.

"I am sorry to say this Miss Granger but one your wedding night you will have to- er consumate the marriage"

He paused not knowing for a second if she was going to cry or not

"Then after that you will be required to have activities? at least once a week. I am so very sorry Miss Ganger,i truly am"

Tears started to pour freely from her eyes. Them strained and sour from where she was she was willing herself not to be weak and not to cry.

Her head was buried in her hands not looking up to see what the Headmaster was doing. He popped his head into the floo calling for assistance

"Minerva i need your help please come quick"

"of course Albus"

She stepped through into the fire and as soon as she saw the scene that lay before her,she rushed over to Hermione and consoled her in a motherly fashion. It will be ok Hermione she assured her and Hermione soon stopped but not before she asked that one vital question.

"When do i have to get maried by?"

"When we get your match we will help you arrange a date dont worry"

"And m-my parents what will they say? What will they think? My Dad? Oh god"

"I will go to them later on and inform them of your current situation. I will get them to see reason Miss Granger" the most sincerity he had used in a while

"can i go now?"

"of course Hermione you always know where to find me if you need me and also you are exempt from all classes today to help to come to terms with what is about to happen"Professor McGonagall said tears picking at even her own strong eyes.

Once she had left to the room Minerva turned to Albus "she will be ok wont she Albus?"

"yes she will, its Miss Granger she is stronger than she looks"

"you have an idea who it is dont you?"

"i have my suspicions but yes i think i do"

"humphh i know that you wont tell me so i'll just leave you to your thoughts"

"of course Minerva have a nice day"

On returning to her room she noticed that Albus had gained some of infamous twinkle in his eye back and with that thought a little bit happier to who it might be realising it couldn't be that bad for him to allow the marriage to happen.

Severus on fleeing the great hall went to his own private quarters and he would be damned if anyone could break the wards on his summoned a bottle of Firewhiskey and without even bothering to pour it into a glass he drank it straight from the bottle, not bothered that it burnt his throut as he downed it in less than 10 gulps. An hour later and he was incredibly drunk but not enough to find a quick sobering up potion and to get ready for first class in half an least he had no annoying first-years to blow up anything, not even Neville Longbottom thank goodness. He could seriously not be doing with any incidents like that today.

What was really playing on his mind though was that know-it-all had all the teachers going to molly coddle her just because she had to get married! What about himself he had played spy for year,got poisened,got saved and then was finally free for four months and then he really deserve this? Not one of the other members of staff had said a word to him. He didnt have one friend here at all. Thinking about it he only had Minerva and Albus. Nobody would of really cared if he had died or not. Pah maybe it would of been better if he had just died. He would of saved everybody the inconveniece of coming back. The students at least would of been pleased and the staff wouldnt of cared one little bit apart from the two that he considerd aquantainces."What has my life come too"he pondered knowing that this wasnt even the drink talking.
