Abandoned
Chapter 5
Black Roses
A special thank you goes out to all my faithful readers. I apologize for not updating quickly, but my school has a stick up its ass and likes to give me, literally, 5 hours of homework a night. I've really missed writing, so I'm playing hooky from school just to write! Yeah so anyway, I went to homecoming, I didn't get queen, but I got runner-up, called assistant. It was totally fun, expect, guess what happened? I was at dinner and my friend Meg and I decided to go to the bathroom to fix up before we left (we're such girls!). As we were leaving the group party room, this big group of guys was hanging out by the door. They circled around us and one of them goes "$300 for the one in black!" (which was me!) and another goes "No, she's only worth $200!" I was kind of frozen in fear, when a third came up and goes "I'd give so much to f**** you against a wall." I freaked out and walked back to my seat. I was almost bawling…it just made me SO MAD! I hate when guys treat girls like objects (unless it's Draco…I'd do anything for him!!). On with the story…
center/To my reviewers:
Claire: I solemnly swear I'll go on :-D
Gohansj3: I agree. Opposites attract, don't they?
HarryPotterExpert: Thanks so much! It feels so encouraging to have people backing me!
Sara: It's quite sad, isn't it? It won't be forever, I pwomise!
Dizzy2381: It's like a drug isn't it? Cept' you can't get hurt. Yay!
CheerPrincess343: So glad to hear from one of favorite reviewers! Hey, don't call yourself ugly. I believe no one is ugly if they don't want to be. It's all about the confidence girl!
Beth E: Thank You!
LaLaine: Lets just say Hermione has great anger management.
Maren: Homecoming is a dance, and people vote for the nicest, friendliest, most hard-working person, and a girl and a guy win, which are called "queen" and "king"
Hpangel: Thanks! Did you know, that this story is like my dirty little obsession? Only my closest friends know about it! And of course, people I don't know!
Lana: Are you a reader of Eye of The Beholder? Good story. I think you have her on your favorites. Actually, she's my best friend in real life, my neighbor. Her story will be re-uploaded as an R soon.
Angelmonkey: You are an EVIL person! Put up the next soul searching chappy or I might have a heart-attack!!
Emily: :blushes: Thanks!
Horny Girl: Don't worry there will be complications with Harry, so long as D/Hrm lasts! Oh and, I crack up every time I type your pen-name!! LOL
Scholcomp1: I will. Thanks!
Jstalil420: Yeah, Harry is just a little screwed up, because he's so traumatized. I never liked him.
T. Henneth: Thanks for such a helpful review! Yeah, the plot is a little vague, but I'm working on clearing it up later on. I am actually quite pleased with how Hermione turned out. I intended her to be a strong-willed, exotic mystery, but her soft side came through.
RiarAllie: Thanks!
Rebecca: Wow! What an uplifting review! Yes, I hate Harry, so I'm picturing him as someone else as I read (Seamus, maybe?) I don't know lol. Please don't die…I like you…lol
Keshia: Thanks! Keep reviewing!
Riley Malfoy: You are an idiot for reviewing yourself.
C: Yeah, so does the rest of the world. Ha. Thanks!
GerHpFa: *joins in dorky dance*
Rorey126: Okey dokely.
Lilpinkbunny: Go Hermione! It's your birthday! Get yo groove on! Uh-huh!! Yeah..so I'm a loser..so what?

Hermione lay flat on her back, her tearing eyes tracing the cracks on the ceiling of the bedroom. Her long hair was sprawled out on the white material of the couch, her hands fumbling with the hem of her shirt.
"I'm so lost," she thought to herself, a single tear managing to squeeze out of her clenched eyelids.
"What do I have to live for anymore?" this thought entered her mind and thoroughly startled her, causing her to bring her hand to her face. "All I ever wanted was to get married, be happy, maybe have a career." her voice cracked as she voiced these feelings aloud. "Harry isn't going to let me leave." she realized, picturing his eyes as she tried to tell him they needed a divorce.
Hermione sat up and hurried into the bedroom, where Harry was sleeping soundly, his distinct snores echoing in the room.
Hermione slowly slid the drawer open and pulled a pair of jeans out. She changed into them, then crept over to the closet and changed into a simple pink tee-shirt. Reaching for a brush that lay abandoned on the counter, she pulled her hair into a messy ponytail.
"Accio suitcase!" she whispered, pointing her wand underneath the bed. A slim, black travel bag came zooming out and into her hand. Harry shifted at the slight noise. She tossed some robes, her toiletries, and her main necessities into the bag, before leaving the room and going into the living area. She pulled the picture of a white stallion off the wall and whispered "Riherhar" into the small microphone. The wall disappeared and Hermione grabbed one of two small bags. She peeked inside . She had the emergency money, now all she needed was Rianne.
Hermione tip-toed, bag in hand, into Rianne bedroom.
"Rianne. Rianne." she whispered softly, shaking the toddler gently. Rianne blinked her eyes open. Hermione pulled her up. "Rianne, mommy is going on a trip. I love you a lot, but I can't take you with me right now. I promise I'll be back for you, ok?"
"Mommy! Don't go away!" the little girl whimpered, grasping Hermione's wrist.
"Just for a little bit. I promise I'll be back." Hermione leant to kiss Rianne on the forehead. "Go back to sleep baby."
Rianne nodded sulkily and put her head down. Hermione could feel herself growing nervous, so she figured she should go quickly. She crept into the hallway and placed a hand on the metal doorknob. Suddenly a loud buzzing noise filled the house, and Harry Potter came stomping into the room.
Hermione opened and the door and tried to make a break for it, but he was too quick. He slammed her against the wall and placed a hand over her mouth to muffle her screams. Her chest was heaving heavily as she struggled underneath his grip.
"Harry don't do this!" she muffled against his hand. Suddenly, Rianne came trotting in the room.
"Daddy?" she said softly, her eyes opening wide. Harry pulled away from Hermione, giving Hermione the chance to give a glance at Rianne.
"I love you Ria!" she said, tears filling her eyes as she apparated before Harry could say anything.
*****************
Draco groaned as he lifted the mug to his lips and drank deeply. He couldn't sleep. He hadn't been able to get his mind of Hermione. Her touch was intoxicating, like a drug. Every time he closed his eyes, her face came into mind. He could picture her soft, tan skin and dazzling freckles. He could just about feel the long tangles of her hair tumbling onto his chest. Every minute was like torture, being away from her. He wasn't sure how he survived three years. Suddenly, a sound like a small explosion echoed from the room next to his, and he rushed in.
"Hermione?" he gasped, at the tiny figure hunched on the floor. He got down her level. "Hermione? Speak to me! What's the matter?" he said in a panic.
Hermione's chocolate eyes flitted up to meet his silver ones. "He hurt me." she blubbered, reaching to take a firm grip on his shirt. Draco ran his hand up her jaw line, placing lightly feathered kissed on her cheek.
"I'm afraid of him." she said again, pushing his hand away.
"I know." he said, feeling unsure.
"Why me? Why can't he let me go?" she asked angrily, standing up.
"He's lost a lot in his life Hermione. He doesn't want to lose the most amazing girl in the whole world."
"That was surprisingly deep Mr. Malfoy." Hermione smiled lightly. "Can I stay with you?" she changed her joking tone serious.
"What about your girl?" Draco asked concerned.
"I can't just take her. Harry would have some big kidnapping fit. Once we've got things sorted out, I planned on a custody trial."
"Hermione, are you thinking are her best interest? I know you want her and all, it's just, our life will be hectic. I'm moving constantly, keeping concealed from the death-eaters, I'm a spy, you know. She'd never get to go to Hogwarts." Draco pointed out.
"I know. Can't we figure that out later? I've got enough on my plate as it is."
Draco nodded understandingly, then placed a hand on her thigh.
"I missed you. I can't go that long." he confessed, kissing her gently. The kiss lingered for a minute or two, neither party wanting to break the sweet contact.
"You do know we're alone in this?" Draco whispered into her ear.
"I don't care what I do, as long as I don't have to leave you again." Hermione smiled broadly. Suddenly she felt something like a knife stabbing her in the heart.
"I miss Rianne already." she said, her eyes tearing up. Draco nodded sympathetically, lifting her shirt up and kissing up her stomach. Hermione wrapped her arms around his chest, burying herself in the scent of cigars and peppermint.
"You are like finding shelter in the pouring rain." Hermione sighed, lifting her head.
"If you could have anything in the world right now, what would it be?" Draco asked curiously.
"For you to kiss me." Hermione grinned broadly.
And he did.

Yay! I know Draco's being a softie, but he's in love and his girl is hurting. REVIEW!! I NEED REVIEWS TO WRITE!!
