~**[Chapter 3: Visitors]**~
Hermione was sitting in the study of the Burrow trying to complete her edition of Hogwarts, A History. She had specifically informed everyone that she did not want to be disturbed, not even if Voldemort came back alive and was knocking on the door. She was thinking of her next sentence when she heard a *pop* sound behind her chair.
" I told you…I don't…." she stopped as she spun around and saw Ginny standing drenched in her tears, dirty and one hand carrying her suitcase. She was trying to hold back her tears, trying not to let Hermione see that she was crying. But she could not hide it. Hermione was her best friend and she knew when Ginny was crying. Her eyes were bloodshot, her nose was runny, her lips were trembling and her hair would be everywhere. That night, it seemed like the worst case.
"Herm…" she stuttered softly, trying to wipe away her tears.
" Gin…What happened? Why are you crying? Where's Draco?" Hermione got up from her chair and began approaching Ginny. Ginny only sobbed even harder at the mention of Draco.
" It's…it's just…" Ginny stopped, she wanted to speak, but she was the words were choked, she just cried even more.
" O dear….Ginny, calm down…tell me what's wrong…" Hermione gave Ginny a big hug as Ginny cried all over her shoulder.
When she finally stopped, Hermione motioned Ginny to the sofa.
" Ok, are you ready to tell me what's wrong?" Hermione asked and Ginny nodded. She told her of what Ron had told her earlier that day and about the card she found from Draco's mistress. In between some sentences, she paused, holding back her tears before continuing again. Hermione was silent all throughout Ginny's story, she didn't want to stir any emotions from Ginny, but inside her she was cursing and swearing a Draco, wishing she could get her hands on him right them. When Ginny finished her story, Hermione handed her some tissues to dry her tears.
" I can't believe he would do such a thing, that bastard…" Hermione began. "Have you told anyone else yet? Ron? Harry? Your Mom and Dad?" she asked.
" No…after I left the house, I came straight here. I didn't know where else to go. I don't know how I'm gonna tell them. You know what my brothers are like, and Mom and Dad will just freak out and fuss all over me. Harry…he'll probably be like my brothers, go on a crazy Kill Draco Hunt. Herm…I'm really lost…I don't know what to do. I don't know why Draco did those things…was it because of me? Is it because I didn't pay enough attention to him? Wasn't I good to him?" A few tears began to drop again.
" Don't you dare blame yourself for what that git has done to you. It isn't your fault at all. He was the one who did such despicable things behind your back and he dares to ask you to forgive him?! How dare he…" Hermione's temper was building up to the boiling point. " Gin…do you want me to break the news to your family?" Hermione asked in a comforting tone.
"No…I think I have to do it myself…I really don't know how they'll take it. Especially my brothers…and Harry too…I don't want them to hurt Draco…I'm sure they'll try anyway…"
" Come on…let's go and get you washed up…and I'll prepare you a room, ok? Oh, and if you're wondering where everyone is, they'r all out at some restaurant. I sort of warned them not to disturb me," Hermione winked and took Ginny's suitcase and began walking towards the door.
" Herm…" Ginny called out and Hermione turned her head back.
" Thanks a lot Hermione, I really don't know what I would have done without you…" Ginny gave a weak smile.
" No problem…you're always welcomed here. Why don't you lie down and get some rest first, ok?" Hermione replied.
~**~**~
"SIT DOWN! ALL OF YOU!" Mrs Weasley shouted at her son. Immediately the kitchen went quiet. The Weasley family, including Harry and Hermione were sitting around the rectangular table.
Ginny had just told them about Draco's affair, and as Ginny expected, tempers flared from her brothers but Harry remained composed and was set into deep thought. Ron got up from his seat and began banging the table with his fist, swearing at Draco, Fred and George soon followed suite until Mrs Weasley put a stop to it.
" Sit down! All your cursing and swearing will NOT help the situation! Your sister is already in a painful enough situation and all you can think about is fighting! I'm sure we're all very shocked by this news but please behave yourselves! You are no more seven year old children throwing tantrums about!" Mrs Weasley scolded them.
" Molly…please calm down, I'm sure they're just being protective over Ginny. I mean, they ARE her closest brothers." Mr Weasley tried to calm his wife down. He turned his head to Ginny, " How are you feeling now, Gin? You can stay here for as long as you want, you understand? Try not to think of all the recent events, what has happened, has happened. When I see Draco at work, I'll try to get some answers out of him."
Percy cut in, "I can get the divorce papers done for you, if you want to, Gin…"
"Oh Shut up Percy, this is not the time…" Charlie snapped.
" That, ass... I warned him, I warned him if he ever did anything to hurt my little sister, I would kill him and shred him into a million pieces! Dammit! I should never have let Ginny even date him!" Ron began clutching his fists again.
Hermione put a hand on his arm and said, " No one wanted this to happen, Ron, please don't get angry, and it's not your fault…"
" Alright, alright… everyone get some sleep, it's quite late already. We'll discuss this further tomorrow. I'm warning all of you, especially you, Ron, DO NOT confront Draco. Hermione, I think you had better watch over him tonight. Ginny, try to get a good sleep, tomorrow will be a better day." Mr Weasley said to everyone. Ginny hugged her brothers and parents and went up to her bedroom to rest.
Ginny was getting into her nightgown when she heard a knock on her bedroom door. She wondered if it was one of her brothers. When she opened the door, she saw not a redhead but someone with a lightning scar on his forehead. It was Harry Potter.
~**~**~
Back at Draco and Ginny's home…
" Hello Draco."
" It's you…What are you doing here? Haven't you tormented me enough?" Draco growled.
" Torment? I thought you liked me, I mean we even made love, Draco," the woman replied back, unfazed.
" Made love? You call that love? It was nothing more than lust. I don't know why I was so stupid, to fall for you and how I even…god…!" He banged his fist on the wall. She began to walk into his house.
"Get out! You are not welcomed here! Does tormenting me give you some sort of sick pleasure? That night was a mistake, it was like you had a spell over me of some sort! Get out!" Draco's eyes were becoming vicious.
" A spell? Impossible, you know I'm a squ…well I'm a person who can't do any magic. Why are you so angry with me anyway, love?" she ran a finger from his throat down his chest caressingly.
For a moment, Draco felt like he wanted her again and it was hard to fight it, but he snapped out of his trance and pushed her hand away. Her reaction was only a smirk. Draco felt disgusted with himself.
" Aren't you happy now?! My wife has left me because of you, what more do you wan…" before Draco could finish, she cut in, " Draco Draco Draco, please do not push the blame onto me. Admit it. Admit that you wanted me as much as I wanted you that night. I didn't force you to have sex with me, Draco. And even if you hated me so much, why didn't you just burn the little card I gave to you, so your wife wouldn't have found it…" she trailed off.
Draco's head shot round and glared at her. " How – do – you – know – my – wife – found – the – card??!!" He stood there stunned, unable to move.
She gave him her smirk again, this time with a soft laugh. Draco could not move his legs. It was like some one had cast the binding spell on him. He stood there staring at her. " What's happened to my legs?! What have you done to them??? Who are you?!"
" Sorry Draco…but it looks like the cat's out of the bag…" she grinned at him and held out her palm in front of her." She looked into her palm and out of thin air, a dagger appeared into it.
A/n: Who is this mystery woman? And is she going to kill Draco? Also, what's Harry doing in Ginny's room so late at night? Find out soon…meantime, pls review and tell me what you think of this. Bye…!
