"Draco... do you still love me?"

"I do." He turns facing her. She was on the couch her tears falling down from her eyes, the same eyes that were starring right into his soul at the moment. "That's the reason why I have been looking for you, you know that. Why do you convince yourself otherwise?"

"Because the trauma of you leaving me before was too painful to handle. I just didn't want to go through that again."

"But I won't... I would never ever ever do it again. If I had known you were pregnant I wouldn't have. I was a coward Hermione but that didn't mean I didn't love you." Draco walks towards her and takes the seat beside her.

"I'm so confused." Draco reaches for her face and she lets him wipe her tears away.

"Why are you?"

"I... I just don't know if I could ever get myself to trust you."

"... Hermione."

"No, Draco. I know you've explained but... I just. I know that you're mum wouldn't approve of this." Hermione pushes herself away. "You picked your pureblood family over me once... I won't bring myself to step back into that mess again not when my son's feelings are involved."

"Hermione... what the hell are you talking about." Hermione stands and wipes her face clean.

"I've realized that I shouldn't be playing stupid. I've realized what you did before and I know you've changed.. but Draco your family is much more important to you and I know you wouldn't think twice leaving me and Scorpius again."

"Hermione, calm down."

"Draco, you need to get out of my house." Hermione mutters and tries to push Draco away. Draco was desperately trying to hold her hands.

"Hermione, you can't do that. You're being selfish think about Scorpius!"

"I'M NOT BEING SELFISH. I'm protecting him from you."

"HERMIONE. Get yourself together. You two, even if you deny it, are my family. I don't care about my mother because I care much more about the both of you than I do with her. Listen to me. Listen to me!"

"NO, I DONT WANT TO."

"WELL YOU HAVE TO. Hermione, I love you and I love our son. Please, just believe me. I will never leave. Why is it so hard for you to take me back? Please take me back."

"Because Draco, you give me a million reasons to not take you back."

"Then I will give you a million reasons to take me back!"

"How, Draco?"

"I have no fucking idea but if I do will you finally believe me?" Hermione stops fighting his attempts on holding her and lets him.

"Until you do, get the fuck out of my house and my son's life."

"Knock, knock? Robert?"

"Hermione." She pushes the door open and lets herself in. He was sitting on his desk reading some papers when she barged in. "Please, sit down."

She does as she was told plopping her bag on her lap. "So, I came here to apologize."

"Ahuh, would you like some wine?" Robert stands up gliding his way to a cabinet.

"No!" He freezes at her outburst. "I-... I wasn't planning to stay long."

"Oh? I see." He nods and sits down on his desk. "Go ahead, please."

"I... I know I have been acting crazy for the past few days and... I haven't been the best girlfriend or what to you." She looks at him making eye contact and holding it. "I've blamed Draco for most of this, blaming him for ruining me and my decisions... my sanity." Robert urges her to continue by nodding his head. "But... really, it wasn't him."

"What are you talking about, Hermione?"

"What I'm saying is that it's not because of Draco nor is it about you. I don't want to sound cliche but I think it's me. I've lost myself. If you've known me before I got pregnant you'll tell me the same thing. I've lost myself, Robert. I need to find Hermione and I can't do it while being with you or anybody else." She twists her engagement ring off and places it on his desk. "I'm sorry Robert." She stands up and turns.

"Hermione, you've got to be crazy! You can't just call it off like that. I can help you find yourself. I'll be with you every step of the way." He stands and holds her hand. "Please let me be part of your life."

"Robert, you don't even know me. We've known each other for what? Like six months, how can you help me find myself when you don't even know who I am. I'm sorry Robert." She shakes her hand off and leaves the restaurant, gets into her car and takes off.

She floos to Ron's place as soon as she got home. She landed on his living room. It was dark and messy like it always was.

"Ronald?" She speaks. His floo can't be on if he wasn't home in the first place. He's in here somewhere. "Ronald?!"

"Mione? Is that you?" She hears some one say from the second floor.

"Yes, it's me. Where are you?"

"I'm here, oh. I'll go down give me a second." She sits down on his couch and looks around. She fought the urge of cleaning everything up. She heard him cursing and stomping upstairs before he heads down. "What brings you here?"

"I... I just needed someone to talk to." Ron gives her a hug before sitting down on the chair opposite of her.

"Well, I'm always here even though I know you always pick Harry and Ginny before choosing to see me." The sarcasm in his tone was loud enough to make Hermione cry. "So what's up? I heard some news from Harry, is it true?"

"Yeah.. but I kicked him out this morning."

"How did that happen?" He waves his wand and two cups of tea floats from his kitchen and unto the coffee table. "Did you two get into an argument? Did your guy kick him out? Where's Scorpius?"

"You mean Robert? No. Ugh, I actually broke it up with him a few minutes ago and as for Scorpius, he was at school when it happened... I don't think he'd be pleased to know his father's gone. He loved the presence of Malfoy."

"Rejecting two guys in a day, what a heartbreaker." Hermione laughs. "So what made you kick him out of your house?"

"I was... I was falling for him" She looks at Ron who nods. "Again."

"And that was bad because?"

"... I'm too scared to let him back in my life again." Ron shakes his head.

"Come on, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Ronald, you were there."

"I know but... Hermione. Did you know the man left his mother to get back with you?"

"I... Left in what degree?"

"He's practically disowned by his family. You see after Harry came by a few days ago and started yapping about how Malfoy was such a dog I did my own research after he left. He's not as bad as it seems Hermione. I talked to one guy who worked for Narcissa, he was a squib. Said Narcissa ordered him to spy on Malfoy to see he wasn't affiliating himself with you. Malfoy saw him and went home to tell Narcissa that he can just practically disown him and he wouldn't care. Why are you so afraid of a man who clearly loves you more than anything?"
