Chapter 7:
Strolling through Diagon Ally Hermione smiled at the by passing people. It has been a long time since she had felt the want to go through this street. Most of the time she never wanted to come because of the happy people, but right now she could smile with them.
Harry was back to becoming her friend once more. He was working really hard, always looking after her, visiting and cooking for her.
She frowned as her thoughts came unwillingly to stop by Ginny Weasley. She hadn't heard anything from the redhead devil and that was scarier than hearing something.
Bumping into someone she came crushing back to reality.
"I'm so sorry!" she gasped and looked up.
Oliver smiled down at her and chuckled softly as a faint blush colored her cheeks.
"No need to worry so much Hermione." He winked at her and made to side step her, but a small hand stopped him.
"Do you … maybe want to go to get some ice cream? I never really thanked you properly for giving me back Harry" she said shyly and smiled.
Oliver eyes twinkled at her shyness. She looked really cute like that. He shook his head he shouldn't be thinking this.
"Sure why not."
They walked happily to get the ice cream. "So what brought this up?" Oliver gestured towards their ice and themselves. "I remember clearly that I got a letter from this feisty little owl, which by the way hurt more than half of my teammates."
She blushed but giggled nonetheless.
"I'm sorry for Smoky's antics. He is somewhat of a little devil."
Oliver snorted and blushed at her soft chuckle. "Somewhat? Really Hermione, that thing needs to be tamed!"
She smiled mischievously at him and beckoned her to lean towards her. "Can't see why" she whispered. "Looks like you're alright. Smoky hurts who tries to hurt him."
She leaned back and smiled. "You could say an eye for an eye."
Oliver laughed out loud and saw the happiness in Hermione's face. She never looked more beautiful to him.
Her dark heavy locks swayed with the soft breeze; her mouth was curled up into a smile and her eyes shown with a twinkle that he deemed once long lost; even if there was the sorrow right behind it.
He signaled the waitress that he wanted to pay. Hermione smiled and searched for her purse, but a hand covering hers stopped her. Her heart jumped into her throat as she looked into the most amazing eyes she had ever seen. They were a deep rich chocolate color with gold blotches everywhere.
"This is my treat Hermione." He winked and she remembered to breathe as his eyes left hers.
Taking in a shuddering breath she tried to calm down her racing heart. What the hell had happened there to her? She glanced at Oliver.
Oliver paid and together they decided to stroll some more through Diagon Alley. Neither of them noticed the person following them invisible in the shadows.
Ginny scolded at the pair.
Why would the Oliver Wood want to eat with that … mudblood. She rolled at her eyes at the thought of Harry. If he would hear her say it he would break up with her for good.
Hermione sneezed and looked up at the sky.
The sun was blocked by grey clouds. "It will be raining" sighted Oliver. "Again" he added.
"No" she said with a frown. "No?" he chuckled.
"I know sometimes the brilliant ones are the craziest. Look at the sky there are big grey clouds full off rain waiting to explode!" he teased and sighted over dramatic.
She just huffed and crossed her arms above her chest. "It's not like I couldn't see that Oliver!" she gave him a threatening look as he opened his mouth to interrupted her. "I merely wanted to say that no, it's not going to rain; a storm is coming and a bad one."
"No need to be sulky. I merely wanted to make a joke" he imitated her.
With out really looking he could see the twitching of her lips.
He gasped in fake surprise and pointed a finger at her. "Was that really a smile? I can't believe it did you really just smile? My, it's a wonder!" he fanned himself and bit his lip so he wouldn't laugh.
She smacked him as her smile spread over her face. Hermione looked at her fingers in shock. They tingled and she could have sworn she saw sparks flying everywhere.
Oliver regarded her with a serious expression.
He had felt it too. The tingling sensation that spread from his arms in every corner of his body and the sparks that seemed to warm his heart.
Oliver cleared his throat awkwardly and scratched his neck.
Hermione snapped her head at him and blushed. "Well I think we will be seeing again right?"
She smiled and started to walk away.
"It was really nice with you Hermione!" he shouted and she winked at him before disappearing inside of the twins joke shop.
Smiling cruelly Ginny walked after her and followed her upstairs inside the twins flat.
She watched Hermione bustling in the kitchen. With quiet steps she walked into the doorway and cleared her throat.
Hermione jumped, looked over her shoulder and came face to face with the wand of Ginny Weasley. "What are you doing here?"
"Last time I checked this was the flat of my brothers. The better question would be what are you doing here mudblood?"
Hermione flinched at the cold words. Never in her life had she thought that Ginny Weasley would insult her as a mudblood. Bitch, yes, Slut, yes, Whore, maybe but mudblood? No never.
"What do you want Ginny? What have I done wrong this time?" Hermione looked her coldly in the eyes and couldn't believe that this was the woman who killed her baby.
"I told you, didn't I? To stay the hell away from Harry! I told you to stop manipulating him!" she whispered manically.
Hermione didn't even blinked. She straightened her shoulders and looked down at Ginny, even if she was smaller than her. "I remember that. But I haven't done anything! When are you going to understand that Ginny? Harry choose me because he knew that I would stay with him. He knew or suspected that the youngest Weasleys would leave him with his own misery!"
Hermione seethed and balled her hands to fist. If she could have her magic back everything would be over by now. But she couldn't even do an easy wingardium leviosa for gods sake!
"You really think I would believe this rub-"
"Don't you dare to say that I'm a liar! I have enough of you Ginerva! For the last years you have terrorized me because of your paranoia that I have slept with Harry and that he loves me more than you! BUT KILLING MY BABY WAS ONE TO MUCH!" she screamed and tears started to gather in her eyes.
Ginny was speechless and stared at her with wide eyes.
"You are going to get what you earned a long time ago Ginerva! I will have you in Azkaban for the murderer of my child."
At this the redhead started to laugh hysterically. "You? Me in Azkaban? What a joke you are!" she ended coldly and advanced towards Hermione.
"Without a real good lawyer you will never get me into that horrid place. Pity that I have the best lawyer around as a friend" she hinted at Cho Chang the clever ex Ravenclaw.
Hermione waited until Ginny was right in front of her. The redhead hadn't noticed the frying pan behind her back.
She smiled bitterly at her long lost friend. "Wrong. She maybe good, but she isn't the best. I'm going to get the best and that will be your ruin Ginerva!" she whispered evilly.
The redhead snorted. "Yeah right. The only lawyer better than Cho is Draco Malfoy and he wouldn't-" she stopped abruptly and looked with wide eyes at Hermione.
"Yes he would because you didn't kill my baby alone. You killed his too!"
After that everything went berserk. Hermione swung the frying pan and hit Ginny hard without looking back she raced the stairs down and in of the shop. There she flooed into a city near the Malfoy Manor.
The sky was a dark black color by now. Thunder rumbled through the sky just before lighting illuminated it. Wind blew up her hairs as she walked along a path that would bring her directly to the Manor.
Just before she reached the gate rain started to pour down and she was soaked in minutes. The memories sent a shiver up her spine as she looked up at the old dark house, but there was no turning back.
She knocked on the door and waited in the pouring rain. Never in her life had the weather mirrored her feelings more.
Tada! It is up the new chapter.
