Second chapter of my Harry Potter fan fic. There's one more person at 'The
Burrow' neither Hermione or Harry expected, nor neither are too happy about
them being there.
STORY:
Harry got out of the car, closely followed by Hermione and Ginny. Fred and George stayed in the car with Ron and Mr. Weasley to talk about the Ministry. Harry followed Ginny and Hermione into 'The Burrow' and made themselves comfortable at the kitchen table.
"How come there are eleven chairs Mrs. Weasley?" Hermione asked.
"We have three people staying with us this summer." Mrs. Weasley replied.
"Ginny are you coming upstairs?" The cold voice floated down the stairs.
Harry and Hermione looked up at the first landing to see none other than Draco Malfoy standing there. A wicked smiled played across his face and he walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Hello." He said, a hint of sarcasm went undetected by everyone in the room, except Harry and Hermione.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked, forcing his face into a polite smile.
"Molly said I could stay, seeing as Ginny does live here." Malfoy replied coolly.
"Draco, would you mind helping me with the table?" Mrs. Weasley asked from the stove.
"Of course."
Malfoy walked to a draw and pulled out handfuls of cutlery. He laid the table without another word and occasionally smiled at Ginny. Once he had laid the table, he took Ginnys hand and slipped his arm around her waist.
"Me and Ginny are going upstairs for a bit Molly." He said.
"Okay, I'll call you for dinner." Molly replied not looking up at them.
Draco led Ginny upstairs and there was a small thud as the door to Ginny's room closed. Harry looked at Hermione; she looked up at the door to Ginny's room and sighed. Harry stood up and went back into the courtyard. Mr. Weasley had parked the car and two trunks were floating in midair next to the garage.
Opening his trunk he pulled out his invisibility cloak and pulled in over his head. He walked silently back into the house and tapped Hermione on the shoulder. She stood up and the pair walked up the flight of stairs. Hermione disappeared under the cloak. The stood outside Ginny's room, listening tentatively. The door opened and Malfoy walked out. He closed the bathroom door and Harry poked Hermione. Walking close to each other they went into Ginny's room and stood in a corner as not to be walked into.
Malfoy came back in and closed the door. Ginny was sitting on the edge of the bed. Malfoy sat next to her and ran his fingers through her hair. Whispering something into her ear, she blushed as red as her hair. Malfoy leant in and kissed her on the cheek.
Their lips locked and their fingers twined together. Hermione looked at Harry. He put his arm around her shoulders and she turned into his side. Ginny lay back, with Malfoy on top of her and they broke apart. Malfoy's hands left Ginnys and he kissed her again, his fingers undoing the buttons on her blouse.
The door opened and light streamed into the room. Ron was standing in the doorway looking disgusted. He grabbed the back of Malfoy's top and pulled his off his little sister.
"You're a pervert." Ron yelled.
"Keep your hair on Weasel. I wasn't going to hurt your poor little sister." Malfoy sneered.
"Ron you're overreacting!" Ginny shouted at her brother.
Harry decided it was time to leave. He took Hermione's hand and they walked past Ron, who was now pinning Malfoy to the wall, and out of the room. The walked up to the top of the house, where Ron's room was, and closed the door behind them before taking off the cloak.
"I can't believe it, he's more disgusting than I thought." Hermione whispered.
"Tell me about it." Harry replied sitting on Ron's bed.
That moment, Ron came in looking a little green.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.
"Malfoy. That dirty..."
"Ron?"
"He was taking advantage of Ginny. She thinks I was overreacting..." Ron's voice failed.
He sat next to Harry and shook his head. Hermione looked at them and sighed. She sat on the other side of Harry and peered anxiously at Ron. Mr. Weasley cam in carrying both Hermione's and Harry's trunks. Fred and George were carrying the other ends of them. Noticing Ron's green face, they stayed after Mr. Weasley had left.
"Ron?" Fred asked.
Ron said nothing.
"What's up with him?" George asked Hermione.
"He walked in on Malfoy and Ginny. Apparently Malfoy was taking advantage of Ginny." Hermione answered.
"That little- Right c'mon Fred, let's teach that little git a thing or two." George said, pushing his fist into his hand.
Fred and George left the room. Harry noticed Hedwig and Pig sitting on the windowsill. He got up and let Hedwig walk up his arm onto his shoulder. Stroking her chest he sat down again. Ron was still not talking even when Pig sat on top of his head and twittered loudly.
Dinner was a silent affair, except the small conversation between Percy and Mr. Weasly. Ron wouldn't eat a thing and was still refusing to talk, Fred and George kept rubbing their knuckles and throwing evil looks at Malfoy. Ginny was silent, as she didn't want her mum to find out what had happened.
"Oh for goodness sake what is with everyone?" Molly asked, looking around the table.
"Charlie?" Harry asked.
"Yep?"
"How's Norbert?"
"Yes, how is he?" Hermione asked, joining the conversation.
"He's still getting used to being in a colony but he's getting there." Charlie replied beaming at them.
"Ron said something about dragons didn't you Ron?" Arthur said.
Ron didn't say a thing. He dropped his knife and fork with a clatter and excused himself from the table. Malfoy grinned wickedly at Harry before turning his attention back to the food on his plate.
"Mrs. Weasley, I'm just going to see if Ron's okay." Hermione whispered.
She stood up quickly and ran up the stairs two at a time. Disappearing up the next flight of stairs, Harry drew his eyes away from the stairwell and looked at Fred. George whispered something into Fred's ear and they both glared at Malfoy.
Hermione ran up the last couple of stairs and knocked on Ron's door.
"Ron? Are you okay?" She asked leaning against the door.
Ron didn't answer. She could hear his moving around in the room, but couldn't tell what he was doing. Everything went silent. Hermione slid down the door and sat on the floor. She tried to get Ron to talk to her but he wouldn't.
"Ron, come on, you can't stay in there forever." Hermione said reasonably.
Footsteps approached. Malfoy's blonde head appeared at the top of the stairs. Hermione looked coldly at him before standing up and brushing herself off.
"What do you want?" She asked tonelessly.
"Wanted to see if Weasel was all right." Malfoy sneered.
Hermione shot an evil look at him but it went unnoticed. Malfoy took at step towards her. She smiled sarcastically at him.
"You won't be able to get in there. He's locked himself in."
"As if I wanted to see that little runt anyway. I don't know how a mudblood like you could stand to live here, even if it is for a few weeks." Malfoy smiled wickedly.
Hermione had had enough. She walked up to Malfoy and hit him so hard he fell backwards down the stairs. Ron unlocked his door to see what the commotion was about and saw Hermione bouncing on the balls of her feet biting her fingers.
Peering over the banister he saw Malfoy crumpled on the landing below. Looking at Hermione, he knew she was distraught. Taking her wrist he pulled her away from the stairs and into his room. Closing the door again he looked at her and sighed.
"It's okay." He whispered. Hermione looked up at him.
"You're talking to us again?"
"Yeah. So what did you do?"
"He was being rude about you, your house and he called me a...I had enough and whacked him. I didn't mean to hit him that hard." Hermione whimpered.
"He deserved it. After what he did to Ginny."
"Oh my god. MUM!" Ginny's panicked voice screamed from the floor below them.
Hermione looked at Ron. She burst into tears. Ron sat on the bed next to her and let her cry into his shoulder. He put his arms around her. Footsteps came running up the stairs. Harry appeared in the doorway and looked at Hermione. Gathering what had happened he sat next to Ron.
"She okay?"
"Yeah, just a little shaken."
"He didn't call her a-"
"Yeah, he did."
"Well then...He deserved it didn't he?"
"That's what I said."
Heavier footfalls came up the stairs. Mr. Weasley opened the door and peered around it. Hermione looked at him, her face soaked with tears. He smiled and walked in.
"Hermione, we heard what he called you, we don't blame you for hitting him, but you understand he could be seriously hurt." Mr. Weasley said quietly.
Hermione nodded. Ron looked at her and sighed.
"He deserved it."
"Ron. I'm shocked at you, how could you say such a thing?" Mr. Weasley gasped looking angry.
"I walked in on them...He was...Ginny..." Ron's voice failed again.
Mr. Weasley caught most of what Ron had said and strung two and two together.
"He didn't..."
Ron nodded. Mr. Weasley's face changed from calm to angry within two seconds. He walked out of the room and back down the stairs. Molly had conjured up a stretcher and was busy making sure Malfoy was strapped onto it properly.
"Ginny!" Arthur shouted.
"Arthur! Calm down, what's wrong." Molly asked taken aback by her husband's sudden burst of anger.
"That boy...Has been taking advantage of our daughter in our house." Arthur shouted, spit flying everywhere.
"What?" Molly's face changed from confusion to anger.
Molly looked at Malfoy, then her daughter. Ginny was as red as her hair again and she couldn't maintain eye contact with her mother.
"Is this true?" Molly asked in an exasperated whisper.
Ginny burst into tears and ran down the stairs. Molly and Arthur flinched, as the door slammed closed. Hermione appeared at the top of the stairs. Ron was on one side of her, Harry on the other, they helped her down the stairs.
She collapsed out of shock halfway down the stairs. Harry swept her up into his arms where she lay limp. He carried her down the rest of the stairs, Ron close behind. They walked past Malfoy who was still out cold and Molly followed them down the next three flights of stairs into the kitchen.
Percy and Charlie were talking on the sofa. Harry walked into the room and they both looked at Hermione.
"Put her here Harry." Percy said, getting off the sofa. Charlie followed suit and Harry laid Hermione down on the sofa.
"I'll get the poor dear a drink." Molly whispered.
Arthur came down the stairs after a few minutes. He told Percy and Charlie what had happened. The stared open mouthed at their father.
"Are you sure?" Percy asked, looking at Hermione.
"Ron walked in on them." Arthur replied.
"That little...Mum, why did you let him in here?"
"He always seemed so nice." Molly said her eyes welling with tears.
"He's a Malfoy." Charlie said quietly.
"He's been calling Hermione a mudblood since second year." Ron said shaking with anger.
The whole family gasped. Hermione stirred and looked around, apparently confused as to how she had got to the sofa.
"He didn't call her a mudblood. He's not that type of guy." Ginny whispered from the first floor.
Silent tears slid down Hermione's face. Nobody noticed except Harry. He smiled weakly at her and looked back at the Weasley's.
"When are we going to Diagon Alley?" He asked deliberately changing the subject.
"Oh, well I thought of going tomorrow, but I think we might leave it until later." Molly said.
"No, we'll go tomorrow, then we don't have to worry about it." Harry replied firmly.
"That's settled then. I'll take Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Ginny and Malfoy. Molly, you should stay here, Percy and Charlie have some very important things to talk to you about." Arthur said.
Molly nodded and ushered everyone out of the room.
"Bed, we have to get up early tomorrow." She shouted over the noise.
Harry was kneeling next to Hermione. She looked into his deep green eyes and smiled weakly.
"You'll be okay Hermione." Harry whispered.
He picked her up gently off the sofa and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Walking slowly up the stairs behind everyone else, they made their way to the top of the house, passing Malfoy who was now groaning in pain, mid air still on the stretcher.
"Good night Malfoy. Hope the straps aren't too tight." Harry said wickedly as he carried Hermione up the last flight of stairs.
