"Hey, Draco, you never really explained why you were here," Hermione stated at lunch the next day.
"Yes, I did. I come to see how you were doing," Draco lied around a mouthful of sandwich.
"Ewww," Hugo said. "Swallow before you talk Mr. Malfoy," Draco apologized.
"I know you're lying, Draco. Tell me the truth or I'll send my cat on you," Crookshanks had had little kittens, and they were just as him. Hermione had kept one and named it Zeke. Draco swallowed hard.
"Okay, fine," Draco gave in. "My wife kicked me out of the house. Turns out she only married me because she wanted my money. After she had Scorpius, she wanted nothing to do with my family, but she waited to tell me until Scorpius went to school," he finished.
"Oh, well that is a good reason, but why did you come here?"
"Like I said, I came to see if you were okay. In a couple of days, I'm going to the ministry to get a divorce, if Astria hasn't beaten me to it."
"Oh," Hermione thought about that for a while. "Well, you can stay here as long as you need to," she offered.
"Thanks," Draco smiled. "I think I'll just have to take you up on that offer."
