Chapter 2
Hermione dressed carefully, put on a bit of make-up and a pair of heels. She wore navy blue robes that flattered her figure and had a deeper than modest neckline. She smiled and walked down the stairs with her shoes in her hand. She always kept clothes at Malfoy Manor. She always knew this was a place where she could stay when things got bad with Ron. She would have gone to Harry but he was currently traveling the world with Ginny and Hermione could never get a hold of him. She sighed and pulled on her shoes. Pansy came out of the kitchen with a coffee mug of tea. She handed it to Hermione with a smile. She reached up with a frown and touched a fading bruise on Hermione's cheek. Hermione saw no purpose in hiding what Ron had did. She let the whole world know.
"You are doing the right thing. He isn't good enough for you." Hermione nodded. Draco came in with a large box he gave her an sweeping glance then pulled out a ruby necklace with matching earrings.
"They were my mother's." He gave her a smile as she let him clasp the necklace around her neck. The red stone shone from the place between her breasts. She put in the earrings. Pansy looked at her and lifted her chin higher with a few fingers.
"These are meant to be shown off. Hold your head high and show them proudly." She gave her a quick hug. Draco kissed her forehead in a brotherly gesture. Hermione gave them both wide smiles, then walked out the door.
The trip to work was uneventful and Hermione was thankful for that. She slid behind her desk and pulled out Lucius Malfoy's file. She read it over carefully. She was so absorbed in her research that she didn't notice Ron standing in her door way.
"I said one case, Hermione. Not all these." He pointed to the many files that lay on her desk. She glared at him.
"I'm picking one. But I have to go through them all first, Ronald" He gave a curt nod then looked at the case file in her hand.
"You are not seriously thinking about taking on his case are you?" Ron spat. Hermione looked up startled, Ron's face was turning red with anger. Hermione smirked.
"Who?" She asked innocently then looked at the front of the file. "Ohhhh. The Lucius Malfoy case." She looked at him with cold eyes.
"What if I am?" She dared him to say anything. "You said I could have one more case. You never said which cases I am not allowed to take on." She smirked and Ron's fists clenched. She watched with an amused expression.
"Go on. Hit me. Leave another mark that the whole world can see. Let them know that the wonderful Ronald Weasley beat up his fiancé!" Her voice raised higher as she stood up. "Do it! I dare you!" Ron struck out in anger catching her across the jaw with his closed fist. Hermione was temporarily stunned but stood up slowly. "Ronald. What did I tell you this morning?" He gave her a nasty glare.
"Why would I care about what a stupid whore like you would say?" Hermione gave a cold laugh and absently rubbed the blossoming bruise.
"You should. I told you if you hit me again. I would cut off you balls the muggle way and shove them down your throat. And I don't like to go back on my word, Ronniebonnie." She batted her eyelashes. She carefully pulled out her wand. With a flick Ron was bound to a chair.
"Sit, you will be much more comfortable." She sat in a chair opposite to him. "You will listen to what I say. You will listen, well." She leaned forward.
"I have had enough of your attitude, your stupid Quidditch, your cheating, your pathetic dreams of having a million babies, you laying your hands on me, of carrying bruises around, and you. I have had enough of you! You are not a man Ronald Weasley! You are a pouty little boy who feels left out because you best friend left to travel the world and took all the press with him! I am tired of you constantly nagging me! I should have seen it that day when you tried to wake me up by shaking me!" Ron looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"Well I'm tired of you and your stupid dreams! You always waking me up! Saying you want to work for a couple more years. I'm tired of your stupid drama when I lose my temper! Its not like that one beating hurt!" Hermione looked at him carefully. Then slowly took off her jacket. She slowly undid the buttons on her shirt and slowly removed her skirt. She looked at Ron. She was in her underwear and large purple bruises marred the snow white skin. Some fading to yellow around the edges, but most were a fresh black and blue. She let him look for a few more seconds.
"You disgust me, Ronald Weasley." She said quietly as she put her clothes back on. "The wedding is called off." Ron gave her a nasty glare.
"It most certainly is not." She gave a faint smile.
"It is. I've told Molly everything, Ron." He gave her a scared look.
"Please tell me you didn't!" She gave him a emotionless stare.
"I owled her this morning. She will be here soon." With those words a flash of green light and a very furious Arthur and Molly Weasley stepped into Hermione's office. Ron's face turned green and Hermione had a far away look in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Ron. I had to let her know." Molly rushed over to her son and smacked him hard across the face.
"How dare you lay your hands on her! How dare you!? And cheating on her! She is a great woman and you throw that all away for a couple cheap whores and your temper?!" Ron looked at his Father.
"Dad! Help!" Arthur just glared at his son and pulled Hermione into a tight hug. He had never expected his son to cheat or become violent, but the new bruise on Hermione's face told him a completely different story. He let Molly vent out her anger towards her son and held Hermione as if she was made of glass. He noted that she was thinner than the last time he had held her, he could feel her ribs slightly. He made a mental note to have Harry come home and help his friend through this. After a few moments Molly quieted down, her face was red and Ron was crying. He carefully let Hermione go and kissed her forehead.
"Just because Ron did this. I hope you won't think any differently of the rest of us Weasleys." She gave him a small smile.
"I won't. You guys are still like parents to me." Molly burst into tears and pulled Hermione into a fierce hug that was surprisingly gentle.
"I am so sor-ry!" She sobbed out. Hermione carefully patted her back.
"You aren't responsible. Your son is." Molly let her go and Arthur put an arm around his wife's shoulders. Molly glared at her son through her tears.
"You are coming with us to the Ministry!" Arthur snapped out quickly. "There will be formal charges placed against you! Get going young man!" Hermione waved her wand and Ron was out of his chair. He rushed over towards her. Molly intercepted him.
"No!? You will not go near her! Never again!" He gave a pleading look at his ex fiancé.
"Please Hermione! Tell them this is all just a misunderstanding! I don't want to go to Azkaban!" Hermione stared at him but without actually seeing him.
"Your right." Molly, Arthur and Ron all stopped. "Azkaban is too good for you. The Dementors are too good for you. The Kiss is too good for you." Her eyes suddenly focused on him. There were tears in her eyes.
"You deserve to have every single person that you love, abandon you. You deserve to not be able to touch another person without feeling your hands burn because you are tainted with a foul evil. You deserve a slow torturous death. You don't deserve me, Ron. You never have. I loved you. I really did. I realize now that you never deserved it. Never." With that she turned her back but quickly turned back around. "I'm moving out." Her announcement startled Ron.
"Where are you going to live." A small smile graced her lips.
"Malfoy Manor. Draco and his wife Pansy said I could stay there. And also. I'm taking the Lucius Malfoy case. He wouldn't be in Azkaban if you hadn't interfered with me. Never again through. You don't control me any more." She smiled at Arthur and Molly.
"I will see you guys later. Feel free to come over to the Manor for supper or lunch. You will be welcomed with open arms." Molly gave her a watery smile and Arthur gave her another kiss to the forehead. Hermione closed her eyes and allowed herself to be comforted by the small action.
"We will Hermione. We will."
Lucius looked around, and yawned.
"Hey, Severus?" His friend sighed.
"Yes, Lucius?"
"Who do you think is my lawyer? I mean I know I have a new one. They never stick around for long." He rolled his shoulders and stretched out his hands.
"I don't know." The sound of a newspaper opening distracted him.
"What on the front page?" He was truly curious. He was greeted with a stony silence. "Severus? What's the news today?" He waited for an answer then repeated the question. Again silence.
"Severus?" With that the other man exploded.
"I am going to fucking kill the bloody little bastard!? I am going to wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze until the little piece of filth stops breathing!?" Lucius was puzzled.
"What is going on?" Severus continued his ranting. He could hear his friend pacing.
"No. I'm going to poison him!? No, beat him to death! No, Avada him! Give the git what he deserves!"
"Severus!" The word was bellowed and Severus abruptly stopped pacing. "What in Merlin's name is going on?" Lucius could hear his friend's rapid breathing.
"It's the blasted newspaper!" Lucius shrugged.
"So?" A newspaper was thrown through the food slot. "Ah. Severus I do enjoy our little visits." His tone was sarcastic. He opened the newspaper and his heart dropped.
The Golden Trio Broken. Can it be fixed?
By Sydney Hisster
The Golden Trio may turn into the Golden Duo, after recent events.
Today at precisely noon. Mrs. Molly Weasley and her husband
entered the Ministry of Magic pulling the golden boy, Ronald, into
the building. He looked quite distraught. The Minister had reported
that there has been some serious charges laid against the youngest
Weasley. Apparently during an argument with his now ex-fiancé
the youngest Weasley saw fit to strike, the golden girl herself,
repeatedly. He has stated several times that it wasn't that bad. That
she was overreacting because she caught him cheating on her. Not
once but twice! Ms. Granger is currently staying with her friends in
an undisclosed location. I don't blame her I wouldn't want that man
to know where I was either. Needless to say that after a small
discussion with Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley was clearly lying when
he said that the attack on Ms. Granger wasn't that bad. Ms. Granger
has graciously let me post the pictures of her condition. (on page 57).
'She is a sweet, sweet girl. I love her like my own but I can never
forgive myself for what happened to her.' Mrs. Weasley stated as she
left the Ministry. Mr. Weasley held her in a gentle embrace and took
her home. Mr. Ronald Weasley states that 'I will do anything to prove
to Mione that what I did was wrong and that I will make a good
husband to her if she just lets me. I love her so much.' I, at this point,
couldn't help but laugh. This relationship is over. Ms. Granger has
said and I repeat. 'If that bloody bastard comes near me again I will
not hesitate to use an Unforgivable on him. I don't care that he loves
me. I don't care if he's sorry. He did something that is completely
unforgivable. I did love the stupid git, but that was a long time ago.
I am no longer a silly, naïve, little girl. My friends have made me see
that he isn't worth my time. And that he isn't worth my love.' She
then looked at me and said. 'I miss Harry but I don't want him to
come home to this. I want our reunion to be a happy one.' This poor,
poor girl. Actually poor, poor woman. Ms. Granger has grown up
and can handle her own life. I am happy she is taking this calmly,
it shows that she is far mature beyond her years.
Lucius quickly flipped to page 57 and nearly choked. The pictured was of Hermione with the back to the camera and lowering a dark robe down her back showing the dark bruises to the camera. He read the small caption.
"I am not showing the world that I am a victim. I am showing the world what truly happened."
The picture repeated itself over and over again. He quickly shoved it back through the food slot. But the picture kept repeating itself over and over against his eyelids. He gave a low moan of despair. Severus picked up the paper and lit the fire place with it.
"I knew something like this would happen. If I wasn't in here I would have been able to stop it." Severus sighed.
"What's my excuse? I'm not in Azkaban. I could have helped her. But I didn't you know why?" Lucius sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Why?"
"Because, Hermione wouldn't have let me. She does things like this on her own. She needs to pull it together by herself." Lucius gave a low hiss at the words "I'm not saying that she doesn't need help. I'm saying that she doesn't want the help. And I bet anything that she is keeping those bloody bruises because she wants to be reminded."
"Reminded? That her fiancé beat her up? Not funny!" Severus sighed and rubbed his face.
"No, reminded to never let something like this happen again."
Wow I would not have wanted to be Ron. Now please review and then I will post up chapter 3!
