Hermione P.O.V
I dried my tears away and watched cautiously as he approached me and slid down on the wall and sat down next to me. Nobody spoke for what seemed like hours.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the cool tiles, they soothed my face. I let out a sigh and decided to get up but just then Malfoy started talking.
"I can understand why you hate me, after everything I did, but I think if the rest of your family can accept us can't there be some good in us. For god sakes Daphne and Harry are married." he ranted at me.
I stared at him for a second and yelled in frustration "No, I can't because then everything else will have to be different, I'll have to accept that Tonks and Remus are gone and my parents are somehow miraculously alive and I don't want to do that" "If this one thing stays as a constant then I don't have to accept it" I screamed.
"You may not like it but the harsh truth is that you have to" he replied softly.
I stood up and stared down at him "No, damn you Malfoy, I'm not doing anything you say" I yelled and turned to leave.
He gripped my arm "You're hurting everyone, your family never mind Teddy" I snarled but he carried on like he hasn't heard me "You look at him like he's them and he's not." He sighed "Maybe, I'm not the best person to tell you this but your family are too scared to do so."
I felt another headache coming on, I knew he was right, but my heart didn't want to accept it. "Excuse me" I said the tiredness showing.
"Granger, if you ever need anybody to talk to" I stopped what the hell had happened to the Malfoy we all loved to hate "I'm sure Daph would love to be that shoulder." He finished, there he was.
I opened the door only to fall into a bunch of eavesdroppers and groaned, "Bloody hell people don't you have anything better to do"
Fred looked at me "The sad thing is, we really don't." I stumbled up and pushed him back to the ground before turning towards Ginny "Could I have that card for ?" I said loud enough for everyone to hear. Ginny smiled at me and nodded her head at me. "See you, suckers."
I grabbed Teddy from the pile who stuck his tongue out as goodbye, I knew when I was wrong, "bloody Kingsley" I muttered. He just had to start this mess.
I decided to change the meeting to next week because the story is progressing to slowly in that sense, anyway next chapter is the meeting and hope it makes you laugh.
Thanks for reading, please tell me what you think, and I hope this chap cleared things up if you were confused. I might think of doing a chapter in Draco's point of view or another family member (Weasleys), would that be a good idea or not?
