My Husbands Girlfriend
Hermione sat alone at the kitchen table. She had just dropped of Eli of at Harry and Ginny's for the day. Ginny had recently found out she was three and half months pregnant with Harry's child, and the couple were eager to gain sufficient practice in looking after a small terror.
They had of course asked her about the bruise on her cheek, she merely avoided the subject by saying it had been a bad blusher spells. She could tell they didn't believe her, but they didn't push the subject.
Hermione sat sipping a glass of pumpkin juice thinking about the total mess her life now seemed to be, when she the silence in which she surrounded herself in, was broken by a women's voice calling from the living room, "Victor?" curious Hermione rose from her seat and headed towards the voice.
The first thing she noticed upon entering the living room was that nobody was there. The second thing she noticed was a girls head in the fireplace.
Hermione jumped slightly, and then the girls head spoke, "Oh Hi, I'm sorry I must have connected to the wrong fire.." the girl was tanned in the face was tanned and slightly freckled; her blue eyes shone in the fires flames, she looked curiously at Hermione and continued to talk, "I'm sorry but you look familiar to me."
"Yeah," Hermione said cautiously, "you look familiar to me too" squinting her eyes slightly Hermione tried desperately to remember where she had seen this girl before, "erm what's your name?"
"Oh," the girl smiled, "My name is Daphny."
Daphny? Daphny? Daphny? Where had she seen this girl before?
"Oh I know who you are!" Daphny's head suddenly examined, "Your Draco Malfoy's cousin..erm..Hermione?"
Hermione had to think for a split second then she relished. This was Daphny, the Daphny. She remembered this woman, she remembered how Daphny had clung to Draco's arm how she had fondled him lovingly right in front of Hermione's very eyes, with absolutely no clue as to Hermione really was or as to whom the child she carried really belonged to. Guessing from what she had just said, Hermione assumed Draco had never told her the truth.
Daphny coughed, jerking Hermione out of her train of betraying thoughts. "Well," Daphny said politely smiling at Hermione, "it was wonderful seeing you again. Oh and what was the baby? Is it healthy?"
Hermione tried hard not to glare at Daphny, she knew Malfoy had never told her that she wasn't really his cousin and that Hermione's baby was actually his, but that didn't stop Hermione being angry at her stupidity, "Yes very healthy, and it was a boy." Hermione said through a fake smile and gritted teeth.
"Ooh!" Daphny squealed childishly, making Hermione feel sick, "what's the little guy's name?"
Continuing to 6talk through a painfully fake smile Hermione gritted her teeth again and said, "Eli Thomas Kr.Granger." For some reason she felt that blurting out that Eli's last name was Krum, did not feel like a great idea at present.
Hermione suddenly realised she actually had no idea why this scarlet women from three years previous was in her fire place, putting on a voice of mock politeness' and keeping the fake smile, which was now making her lips ach, Hermione asked, "So who were you trying to contact on the floo network?"
"Oh!" she exclaimed, obviously just realising her head was in a fire place, "I was trying to contact my boyfriend," Daphny blushed. Hermione suddenly remembered that the voice she had herd calling from the living room was calling 'Victor' Hermione prayed against all hope that the answer to her next question wouldn't be the answer she was thinking it would be. She prayed so hard in the back of her head, 'please don't let it please, please!'
"Who's your boyfriend?"
Daphny blushed, even though her face was brightly lit by green flames it was still easy to distinguish the bright red cheeks, "well.urm. ok please don't laugh."
"I wont promise." Hermione said cautiously
"Well," Daphny continued, "Err it's... Victor Krum"
Hermione's hart stopped dead. NO.NO..NO..Krum was.they were..NO!
"Well I'm sorry to have disturbed you, I must have got the wrong grate..."
"NO!" Hermione blurted out, "this is his house, I'm just...." Hermione thought fast, "I'm just his housekeeper."
"Oh," Daphny smiled looking somewhat relieved, "Is he home?"
"No"
"Oh, well could you just tell him that I have the tickets for the Threx concert and I'll meet him there at eight thirty." Daphny continued to smile. Hermione held her hand behind her back, trying to hide her wedding finger, and praying that Daphny hadn't noticed any of the family photos portrayed all around the room.
"Sure, I'll let him know." Hermione once again put on her fake smile, and gritted her teeth if possible even tighter. Daphny smiled politely at Hermione.
"Well I best be off, Bye Bye" her last words sounded so childish, it made Hermione want to throw something at her. Hermione couldn't say anything more to Daphny as at that moment her face withdrew from the fire leaving it empty.
With white hot rage surging through every vain in her body, tears beginning to swell in her eyes, Hermione strode forward to the fire place grabbed more than enough floo powder and threw it into the fire and yelled, "THE POTTERS!"
