How Could an Angel Break my Heart?

By Green eyes

Chapter 4


How could an angel break my heart, why didn't he catch my falling star. I wish I didn't wish so hard, maybe I wish our love apart. How could an angel break my heart?

Grimmauld Place

Hermione managed to get a small amount of sleep but still felt like she had been hit by a train in the morning. She got herself out of bed and pulled on a hoodie over her PJ bottoms and a white tank top and walked down the stairs to be greeted by Ginny who was cooking breakfast and Harry and Ron sat at the table.

'Morning Mione. How you feeling?' Harry asked as she sat down on the seat opposite them.

'Alright.' She said as she poured herself some orange juice and then looked at Ginny. 'Want some help?'

'No. I'm fine, you relax.' Ginny said smiling happily.

'If you're sure.' Hermione said as she brought her glass of orange juice to her lips.

'Hedwig's here with the post.' Ginny called as Harry got up to let in his trusty owl. He opened the kitchen window and passed the post out to everyone.

'Did he bring Hermione's post?' Ginny asked.

'Yep. It's here.' Harry said as he took it to Hermione.

They all sat at the table opening post when they all stared at the ivory invitation in their hands.

'I can't fucking believe they would actually send this to us.' Ron said fuming at the invitation to the Malfoy-Parkinson engagement party.

Hermione looked at the invitation and sighed.

Lucius & Narcissa Malfoy would like to invite you to the Engagement Party of

Their Son: Draco Lucius Malfoy

And

His Bride: Pansy Patricia Parkinson.

The Engagement Party will be held at Malfoy Manor on Saturday, 4th April at 8pm

'Well, we're definitely not going to that.' Ron said as he tossed his invitation towards the bin and missing.

'We're going.' Hermione said.

'We are? Hermione, I don't think it's such a good idea to go.' Ginny said as she sat down at the table taking a break from cooking.

'I want to go. I need to go, I don't know why but I feel as if I should go. I want to congratulate his happiness with the pig.' Hermione said.

Ginny looked towards her husband as if to ask for help, she really didn't think this was a good idea but they all knew Hermione, there was no stopping her when she decided on something.

'Hermione, do you think you could sit there and watch him be with her?' Harry asked helping out his wife.

'Probably not but I'm going to have to get use to it and I am not going to let him lead my life. I am going to show him I'm fine without him and that I don't need him. He chose, he had a choice and now he has to live with that.' She said.

'Alright. Well it means we have two days to find a dress as none of mine will fit now and well we need to make sure you look spectacular so he knows what he's missing.' Ginny said smiling at the thought of a shopping trip.

'I know what I'm going to wear.' Hermione said smiling faintly.

'Oh, but don't you want a new dress?' Ginny asked.

Hermione just shook her head and smiled leaving Ginny and the boys to wonder what she was up to.

Breakfast pasted and the boys went off to work. Ginny persuaded Hermione to come with her shopping even though she already had a dress. She hopped getting out the house would help but somehow she wished she had never suggested it after the day they had.


Diagon Alley – Gladrags Clothes for all Occasions

'This is beautiful.' Ginny said holding up a black corset dress which Hermione had to agree would love amazing on Ginny.

'Why don't you try it Gin?' Hermione said as she sat herself down on a chair bored of shopping. She didn't want to be out shopping, she wanted curl up and bed and cry.

'I think I might. You alright to wait here?' she asked as she walked into the dressing rooms.

'Yeah! No problem.' Hermione called out as she opened a magazine while she waited.

Hermione was silently reading through a gossip magazine when a screechy voice broke her concentration.

'Oh look who it is! The little Mudblood.' Said the voice.

Hermione turned around and sighed when she saw who it was. Why did it have to be her on all days why did she have to bump into this pig.

'Pansy, lovely to see you.' Hermione said as she returned back to her magazine.

Pansy walked up to Hermione and sneered at her. She grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her up off the chair and glared at her. 'I know.' She said.

'You know what Pansy?' she said as she pulled her arm away from the pig.

'I know about you and my fiancé and I am only going to tell you this once, stay away from him. He doesn't want you, he wants me.' She said with a sick smile on her face.

'You can gladly have him Pansy. I sure as hell don't want his pasty arse anywhere near me and especially not in my bed.' Hermione said with a twisted smile. 'He's all yours darling, enjoy him because trust me it won't last long this fake happiness you have. Just know one thing, he doesn't want you, the only reason he's marrying you is for his family money.'

'No you're lying. He loves me, always has.' Pansy said harshly.

'Believe what you want.' Hermione said as she sat back down. 'Goodbye Pansy, see you at your engagement party, we are so looking forward to it.'

Pansy said no more but strutted off with her nose in the air. She was going to Draco, she was going to find out the truth.

Ginny walked out the changing room in her normal clothes and looked at Hermione as if to ask if she was okay. She had heard every word Pansy had said and she was now beginning to wish she hadn't made Hermione come shopping.

'I'm fine Ginny. Buy the dress so we can go, I've had enough for one day.' Hermione said as she stood up trying not to cry.

'Okay.' Ginny said feeling very guilty.


Malfoy Manor

Draco had decided to work from home today. He couldn't face people congratulating him on his up and coming nuptials. He thought he might actually be sick if some said he was a 'lucky man' because he sure as hell wasn't.

He locked himself away in his office and got stuck into work trying to forget the whole situation he found himself in however it didn't last long because as soon as he sat down at his desk he saw a picture of Hermione waving at him. He looked at the picture and smiled as he remembered the day. They were in Hyde Park by Hermione's parent's house, he had taken a camera with him and caught a picture of her as she walked through the park.

He grabbed the picture and put it in the draw hiding it from his view. It was too hard to look at her knowing he had hurt her so badly.

Draco was getting through a contract when he door was nearly torn off it hinges by his future bride who stormed in screeching. Draco sighed with defeat as he looked up to see Pansy standing in front of him looking fuming.

'What is it Pansy?' He asked as he leant back in his chair.

'I met that Mudblood today!' she said.

'And?' he asked wondering what had happening. He hoped Pansy hadn't done anything stupid.

'She said that you are only marrying me so you can get your family money, is that true?' she asked.

'Of course it is. Why else did you think I'd marry you. I was perfectly happy before all of this shit. I'm only marrying you so I don't get disowned and when I mean marry I mean you may carrying my name and my heir but that it is.' He said.

Pansy stood dead on her spot. He was marrying her for money not because he loved her like her parents had told her. They told her Draco had come to the house and told them of his undying love for their daughter and then he asked for her hand. It had all been a lie and now she was going to marry someone who couldn't even look at her.

'I thought...I was told...' Pansy said quietly.

'You were told that I loved you so that you would marry me Pansy but it was a lie.' Draco said. 'I love Hermione.'

Pansy shook her head as tears formed in her eyes. She couldn't believe this.

'I don't want to marry you if you love her.' She said.

'Well it's tough because the contract has been signed between our parents and there is no way to get out of this.' Draco said rubbing his face. 'Were both going to have to shut up and get on with it.'

'I won't!' Pansy said shouting. 'I won't be second best.'

'Well, you're going to have to be.' Draco said as he grabbed his quill and began to work.

'No! Draco, you will listen to me. I will not marry you if you are still seeing that Mudblood.' She screamed.

'Well I'm not. I am not longer seeing her and I won't. Happy now. I'm all yours Pansy.' He said feeling slightly sick. 'You will have me, my money and my name.'

'Well...good.' she said.

'Now I have work to do. I will see you Saturday for the party. Goodbye.' He said as he motioned to the door.


Grimmauld Place

Hermione had spent the rest of the day up in her room. She didn't want to speak to anyone and had told Ginny this. Ginny was feeling extremely guilty after making Hermione come shopping with her and her pregnancy hormones were making things worst.

When Harry and Ron got home and Ginny told them of the day's events they both reassured Ginny it wasn't her fault and Hermione just probably wanted time alone.

Hermione reappeared at dinner and hugged Ginny and told her she was sorry for her outburst and the friends were fine again. They ate dinner together and Hermione returned to her room.

As Hermione laid on her bed, her owl flew into the window and perched itself on Hermione's bed frame. She knew who the owl belonged to and sat up and took the letter. She petted the snow white owl and then read the letter.

I love you

Hermione shook her head and shooed the owl, she wouldn't be replying to that letter. He had made his choice he could now lie in it.
