A/N: Here is the next chapter, where all shall be revealed.. dun dun dun! hope you like and remember to review what you think.

Oh and there's also a little flashback, so if you forgot that little storyline basically...

Hermione and Draco meet in Cafe, meet in Flourish and Blotts and kiss, invites her to come home with him, Draco is a rubbish friend and is never there, Hermione meets Cara (the friendly bookshop owner) and find out about Draco's midnight rendezvous, Draco hides Hermione to the mystery blonde model, Hermione visits Hagrid, comes home and cries...

I anxiously looked towards Draco, and then towards Harry. How does my best friend (maybe ex-best friend) know who did this horrible thing to me?! I was nearly killed!

I watched him as he stood up nervously, his whole body shaking. I couldn't quite decide whether that was due to crying or from fear. Maybe he felt guilty? Or maybe he was the culprit? My eyes widened as I thought about this idea. I realized, however, that best friend or not he wouldn't try to purposely hurt me. I realized that nobody I actually knew would go that low to hurt me.

I watched as Harry walked over and sat on a chair near the bed. He was by my side, but distant, as if he didn't want to be there.

"Who is it?" I heard Draco menacingly say. I glanced towards him and saw a face like thunder! His grey eyes were creating a storm, as I saw the anger and rage hidden behind them. "FOR FUCKS SAKE POTTER, WHO TRIED TO FUCKING KILL MY WIFE?!" he shouted.

"It was Ron!" Harry shouted.

"Ron?" I breathed, as if I couldn't believe it.

"He didn't mean to Hermione, honestly he didn't. It wasn't meant to be for you, it was meant to be for…" he said, as his eyes slowly traveled to Draco.

A gasp escaped my lips, as I tried to take in what I just heard. The boy who I'd been best friend with for seven years, and who had once stolen my teenage heart… had actually attempted to kill my husband.

"Why?" I asked, as I grabbed for Dracos hand, reassuring myself he was still there. He gently took it and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"He thought that you had some kind of spell on you… that he had some kind of control over you. He was the one who sold out to the Prophet, he thought that maybe it would cause an argument between you and you'd go your separate ways. He was watching you Hermione. He knew where you lived, what you did… he even knew which bedroom was yours. I wanted to help, but he said that if I did then he'd ruin my life… he'd take Ginny, Hermione, and said he'd turn her against me. I can't loose her. We're like my soul mate… like you and Malfoy. Anyway, he was outside you're house when the owl came and put a spell on the Prophet… one I'd never heard of before. He knew Draco would read it, as he'd seen that you wouldn't touch the Daily Prophet, but then when he saw you go to read it… he ran and well here we are." he muttered.

I couldn't believe I was hearing this! Not only was Ronald responsible for this… but Harry knew it was happening and did nothing about it, all because he didn't want to risk hurting his precious Ginny. I mean there may have been a high chance of her turning around and telling Ron to fuck off, but no he decided to sit in silence.

"How could you?!" I cried, scowling at him, "It was okay for you sit there and stay with your bitch of a 'soul mate' but when it came to mine, you thought 'hey I'm just going to sit here and let him die!"

"N-No Hermione it wasn't like that…" he stammered.

"Oh well please enlighten me oh Harry Potter, The Chosen One! You would risk the life of my husband who is not only the love of my life but father to my kids! Have you ever thought about that?! That my kids would grow up without a father! Like you did Harry. Would you want that on another child?! Well obviously you did, because if you didn't then you wouldn't have let Ron nearly attempt at killing my husband. Well you now what… you make me sick Harry Potter! You disgust me and I never want anything to do with you, or Ronald, or Ginny again! Oh and you can warn Ronald that I will get every single Auror, and every single lawyer on his ass, and he will regret what he has done! Don't you see Harry?! He's fucking insane!" I cried. "So go, I don't want to see you any more!" I said, as I turned onto my side and curled up in a ball, burying my face into the soft duvet and let the tears fall. I never ever wanted to say that to my best friend, he was once like a brother to me… and now he seems more like a stranger, someone who I don't know.

"I think you'd better leave." I heard Draco say, through gritted teeth. I heard some muffled shuffling around and then the door squeak open.

"I'm sorry Hermione." he whispered, before the door slammed shut, making me jump. Before I could hold it in any longer, I just burst into sobs. Everything was wrong! My best friend tried to murder my husband, but ended up nearly murdering me, leaving me to throw away four months of my life with my family! Then he has the audacity to come in acting all caring and worried with his whole family, when he got me in this situation! I couldn't believe this! It was literally like my worst nightmares had popped out from my dreams. I heard muffled mutterings by the door, but I couldn't hear the specifics as my sobs were too loud. After a while, I felt Scorpius and Freya, who had finally fallen asleep before Harry had arrived, being moved. I wanted them here, but at the same time, I didn't want them seeing me like this. Like this emotional wreck! I couldn't stop crying, no matter how hard I tried.

Finally, to what felt like forever, I felt Dracos arms wrap around my waist, as he turned me over to face him, as he kissed my cheeks tenderly and whispered soothing words.

"Shhhhh… it's okay Hermione. Don't worry."

"W-Where are t-the k-k-kids?" I said in between the sobs.

"I spoke to mum, and she said that she'll take them to Cara."

"O-Oh poor Cara. I b-bet she's been g-g-going crazy!"

"No. She's been okay. She's got Hagrid to look after her as well."

"H-How are they?"

"They're doing fine. Your brothers send their love too." he said.

"Oh g-good… Draco, can you do me a favour?"

"Of course darling."

"J-Just hold m-me close and le-t-t me for-forget about everything."

"Anything for you darling. Close your eyes and just listen to me." I reluctantly obeyed what he said, as I closed my eyes and tried to cast everything out of mind. Hmmm.. something to focus on. Before I could think I began hearing his gentle voice as he soothed me into another place, another time.

"Do you remember that morning when you woke up, and to be honest, you looked like shit. You had red puffy eyes and you're hair was all over the place, but it didn't matter because I felt so awful. I wanted to get on my hands and knees and grovel at your feet, but then I still had my pride, my dignity, it was the time before I was whipped, metaphorically, and I still thought I was some cool, awesome party animal." he said, chuckling to himself. I let him carry on, as I fell deeper and deeper into the darkness, that plummeted me back into a flashback.

FLASHBACK

I felt myself coming around slowly, as the feeling of being groggy and not myself slowly ebbed away, as I felt the soft couch underneath me, however my head was lying on a hard surface, something I'm not familiar with. I felt fingers run through my hair, but I kept my eyes closed, too nervous or afraid to open them. I heard a distance voice, a familiar one, but I couldn't make out who it belonged too.

"…I didn't mean to hurt you Hermione. I just didn't want to scare you away. Ever since I laid eyes on you again in that damn coffee shop, I really saw you for the first time. Hermione Granger. Despite being a know-it-all and a book worm, and despite putting up this huge wall that blocks everyone and everything out, you can still be broken. I saw you and realised that even Hermione fucking Granger can feel broken, and to be honest Hermione… I was broken. I felt that the only way to heal was to go out and party, that spending all my fucking fathers money, I could somehow get revenge. But I don't feel like I'm healing, I just feel like I'm getting worse. But when I saw you this morning, and how upset I had made you, then I felt even worse! I offered for you to come into my home, and I treated you like shit! I never spoke to you, or even saw you. I assumed you were happy, and I'm so sorry. I know you can't hear me, but I'm sorry!" he said, as he sighed and cradled my face with the palms of his hands. Then, I slowly opened my eyes, as he looked into mine. Silver against brown. I gave him a quick smile, as he moved a curl that had fallen across my face. "Hermione?! Are you okay?!"

I nodded slowly, as he gently stroked my cheek. For some reason it was ever so relaxing.

"Hermione..." i heard Draco mutter, as he looked down with me with, what i call, a brave face. "How about I take you for dinner tonight? Just me and you."

"Erm… I don't know. Don't you have other things to do?" I whispered

"Not tonight. Plus you've been here all this time, and I felt like I hardly know you. So please…"

"Okay." I murmured, before I felt him rise from the couch and walk towards the kitchen, as he started making a cup of coffee.

"Do you want one?" he asked.

"Sure."

I couldn't help but realise there was this awkward tension in the air. Maybe because we never had a normal conversation before. "W-What time is it?"

"Oh it's about 11 o'clock. What you doing today?"

"Erm well I'm going to go visit my mum and dad, then probably go to the cute little bookstore I found and visit the woman… Cara. She was lovely."

"Okay well… make sure you're back for six and look presentable. And by presentable, I mean scrub up so I can be seen in public with you." he said, before he cheekily winked at me and walked into his bedroom, but not before I sent a designer satin pillow flinging at his head. I lied back down and took a deep breath. Oh god… what am I going to wear?!

A/N More updates coming soon hopefully and now you realise RON is the culprit, but remember... Harry is head Auror... can he betray his best friend for his... best friend? What will Ginny and the Weasleys think of all this, and how will this new pressure take its toll on Hermione's pregnancy. Want some of these answers... review or give me a PM and i'll get back to you with a secret hint.
