Faithfulness Questioned

Ron slammed the newspaper down on the kitchen table, how could Hermione not tell him she'd met up with Malfoy on Tuesday?

It was Friday and Ron had got the afternoon off and decided to come home and make a nice meal for Hermione who was working late again. He hadn't had the chance to read the Daily Prophet at work and had brought it home. When he turned it over to see the front page he nearly dropped his mug of coffee.

HERMIONE GRANGER HOOKS UP WITH DRACO MALFOY FOR A QUICK COFFEE DATE AT THE LEAKY CAULDRON

Hermione Granger (Soon to be Weasley), one third of The Trio who conquered Voldemort, was seen having a quick coffee date with Draco Malfoy, ex Death Eater and son of convicted Death Eater, Lucius Malfoy.

Late on Tuesday afternoon witnesses spotted Granger and Malfoy laughing in a dark corner in the famous Pub, The Leaky Cauldron, each sipping coffee and chatting about the past, present and future. It was said to be a very short rendezvous and little was heard by other patrons in the pub apart from their laughter. One June Marbig told reporters "They seemed to really enjoy their time together; I wonder how long these visits have been going on. It seemed like much time had passed and yet they still seem so well connected."

Others are wondering what Ron Weasley, Grangers fiancé and another of the trio who conquered Voldemort, thinks about Granger and Malfoy's meetings and if he is ok with his fiancé spending time with an ex Death Eater.

Friends and family could not be contacted for comment. More on this subject soon, so watch this space.

Ron knew Hermione would never cheat on him and that she was faithful and loved him but he couldn't stop the doubt that had entered his mind when he read the article which was accompanied by a huge photo of Hermione and Draco laughing as they sat at a table in the Leaky Cauldron. Ron didn't have much time to dwell on the article, which was probably a very good thing, when the front door opened. Hermione was home early, what were the chances?

"Ron?" she asked, surprised he was home early

"Hi." He said as he got up from his chair to give her a welcoming hug and kiss

"You're home early." Said Hermione, her arms still around his neck

"So are you." Ron replied with forced politeness

Hermione noticed he was tense but assumed he'd had a busy morning at work. "Oh, is that today's Daily Prophet? I didn't get mine." Hermione grabbed the Daily Prophet and looked at the front page. Her face went ghostly white as she read the heading. She looked up at Ron who had been staring at her with an angry look on his face, "Ron, I'm so sorry. I swear, nothing happened." She pleaded

"It's fine, whatever, I don't care." Ron said and walked out of the kitchen and into the lounge

"Then why are you acting like you do?" she asked when she'd got to the lounge, newspaper still in her hand

"Why didn't you tell me?" he ignored her question and inserted his own

"I didn't think it was important, it was just coffee, not a business deal." Hermione replied

"It is important! Why were you keeping it a secret?" he snapped, did she think that keeping stuff from him was good for a relationship?

"It wasn't a secret." She said loudly

"Obviously it was seen as you didn't tell me!" said Ron, turning away from Hermione and staring into the fire

"It was just coffee." Replied Hermione exasperatedly

"You still should have told me! He's dangerous" answered Ron, still not looking at his fiancé

"Agh, you have got to be kidding me! We've been through this, he's not dangerous, and he's changed!"

"The Malfoy's never change Hermione, you know that! All that pure blood mania. Was he trying to buy your soul and get you to join their ex Death Eaters club?" Ron was now standing, his face burning with anger

"Oh, now you're just being ridiculous! Where is all this coming from? You know things like that aren't going on anymore!" shouted Hermione

"How do we know for sure?" Ron hissed

"I'm not even going to listen to this, you're being beyond stupid." She said as calmly as she could before she walked back to the kitchen

Ron knew the answer to his next question but his insecurities took over and before he could stop himself he opened his mouth and asked, "Are you cheating on me with Malfoy?"

Ron heard a glass shatter in the kitchen, when he entered Hermione was standing their looking completely horrified, Ron wondered if this was from being asked such a thing or if it was true.

"NO!" Hermione yelled, "Why would you think that?"

"Read the article."

Hermione's eyes snapped down to the newspaper on the table, her eyes widened and tears spilt out of them when she looked up at Ron. "It's all lies Ron; you know I'd never do that to you. I love you and only you. I can't believe you'd ask me such a thing. I thought we trusted each other more than this." When Ron didn't answer Hermione continued, "Are you that insecure in our relationship that you'd question my faithfulness just because of one stupid article? What is this to you? A joke!"

Still Ron didn't reply.

"TALK DAMNIT! YOU AFRAID I'M GONNA GET ANGRY OR YOU'RE GONNA HURT ME? TOO LATE BUDDY, I AM AND YOU HAVE!" screamed Hermione

"I don't want you hanging around him." Ron said simply

"You don't get to decide who I hang out with. You do, however, get to decide if you trust me enough to not think stupid things and question me about how I feel and what I do." Hermione folded her arms and lent against the door frame

"Okay, I know you're not cheating, but that article...it just made me..."

"Stupid?" spat Hermione as she wiped her tears away

"Yeah. I do trust you, but I don't like it when you keep stuff from me. I don't hide things from you, so why would you do that to me?" Ron asked

"I'm sorry." Hermione said quietly as Ron pulled her into his arms

"I'd say it's ok but it's not. I accept your apology though." Ron smiled

Hermione thought that was very rude and it upset her even more; she pushed Ron away and stormed off to their room.

"What?" muttered Ron to himself

He just shook his head thinking how weird females were, "What do you want for dinner?" he shouted the question down the passage as Hermione got to their room

"I'll make my own food!" she shouted back and slammed the door leaving Ron completely perplexed.
