A/N: Hey everybody! Well, here's Chapter 21! Disclaimer: I am in no way the owner of HP...
21.
When everything falls apart. And it seems like the world is crashing at my feet. You like me the best. When I'm a mess. When I'm my own worst enemy. You make me feel beautiful (beautiful). When I have nothing left to prove. And I can't imagine how I'd make it through. There's no me without you. No me without you, no no. ~ Ashley Tisdale
"Was that fun, Em?" Fred asked a giggling Emily when they landed in the front yard of the Burrow. They walked into the house hand-in-hand and were instantly greeted by everyone and so was Emily, who was enjoying the attention. Fred and Hermione gave everyone a "hello" and a hug then sat down by the table. The only people that were not there were Bill and Fleur (who went back to the Shell cottage), Charlie and Heather (who went back to Romania), and Molly and Arthur (who were at the Ministry). So, it was just Fred, Hermione, Emily, Ginny, Harry, Ron, Luna, George, and Farah.
"So, newlyweds, how's the er, married life?" George asked, winking at Hermione, who blushed and looked down at her food.
"Fine." She mumbled, knowing what he meant by "married life". Fred smiled at Hermione's reaction.
"Yeah, but how's his?" Fred thought and took a bite out of his cheese burger. Hermione almost choked as she laughed while she was taking a drink of pumpkin juice. Everybody was looking at her like she was mental.
"Should we tell them about our mind reading?" Hermione thought to Fred as she bit into her cheese burger.
"Nah, let's mess with them!" Fred thought back and Hermione smiled and nodded her head in agreement. Ginny looked at her very strangely and began eating again. Fred and Hermione just looked at each other and both laughed.
"Okay, what's going on between you two?" Ginny asked, making Fred and Hermione laugh harder.
"Should we tell them?" Hermione asked out loud, still giggling.
"I think we should." Fred said smiling as he took a drink of his pumpkin juice. Hermione looked at all the curious and confused faces.
"Well, ever since Fred and I bonded, we've acquired a special magic ability. We can read each other's minds, plus we can feel or sense each other's emotions." Hermione finished.
"Wicked!" they all said at the same time. Hermione smiled and began talking with her friends again and eating. They were talking about everything, Hermione told them about her's and Fred's honeymoon to Rome. George made a wise crack joke and Hermione flung a French fry at him and hit his nose. Everyone laughed at that, even Emily. Just as everyone's was getting a good laugh, Molly and Arthur entered the dining room with a sad expression on their faces. They were also caring a copy of The Daily Profit.
"Mum, Dad, what's wrong?" Fred asked feeling his and Hermione's worriedness. They didn't say anything but gave Hermione the paper. She read through the front page until she stopped at some article and her eyes filled with tears.
"N-no." she said in a audible whisper with tears rolling down her cheeks. Fred felt the utter terror, hurt, sadness, and hatred from Hermione pull on his heart.
"Love, what's wrong?" Fred asked. Hermione looked at him, more tears falling. She threw the paper on the table and ran out of the house into the front yard. She couldn't breathe, she felt her world come apart, and she couldn't believe this! Her parents, her loving parents had just been killed by Lucious Malfoy. He apparently escaped Azkaban and was looking for revenge on the girl who left his son.
"Hello Hermione." Said a voice behind her. This voice sounded eerily familiar and she turned around and almost fell over. It was Lucious Malfoy with Draco. She pulled her wand out and pointed it at Lucious.
"Hermione I had nothing to do with this." Draco said quietly as Lucious pushed him toward Hermione.
"Now, let me make this clear Hermione. You will re-marry Draco." Lucious said calmly and walked toward Hermione.
"Fred! Fred! I need you now! And bring backup!" Hermione thought to Fred, still standing her ground.
"Too late. I'm already re-married." Hermione said, her voice not quivering. The front door flew open as everyone came out (except Molly, she was watching Emily) with their wands raised. Fred stood next to Hermione as Lucious laughed.
"This is who you married!" Lucious laughed, stepping toward them. Everyone stood their ground.
"Draco had nothing to do with this." Hermione thought and Fred nodded his head in understanding.
