A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back FINALLY! I'm am so sorry it took so long to update. It's just that my beta (TrInItIsPeLl) and I have been so busy the last few months with our final exams. Thank goodness schools closed. I can't wait to continue updating this story considering I have writers block for my other story Sweetest Goodbye. (to all my readers I'm working on it… really I am).
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapter. I hope you like this one. It's not as long but I'm going to try writing longer chapters. K. The song exerts belong to Avril Lavigne and are from her song "Why". I hope to update this story faster considering that I have absolutely nothing to do this summer!
I am so sorry about the first and second posting with the bold letters. I tried to de-bold it but for some strange reason it's not working. I hope this time it works. If it doesn't I am extremely sorry about the distraction and I promise it won't be in the next chapter I post.
I know you're thinking. Why don't I stop babbling and get on with it. Well okay then Here's
Chapter 9: Unbelievable and Unexpected
His eyelids were heavy and his breath smelled of firewhisky and gin. He was drunk….again and for the fifth time this week. He had just apparated into his home from a nearby bar.
He stumbled across the lightless room, through piles of garbage, to get to his music box. He turned it on and sounds of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata erupted from its speakers.
"AAAH" he sighed loudly "Great man he was…A genius on the piano"
Crossing the room to the pantry and poured himself a drink, spilling half the bottle's onto the counter. He rounded the counter and staggered to corner of the room where there stood a dusty piano. He slipped his wand out and silenced the music box. He blinked quickly and raised his hands to the keys.
He hesitated then let his hands drift across the long unused keys and his heart belt out long felt words.
Why, do you always
do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come,
you act like this
Like you just don't care at all
It's not supposed to
feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each
day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you,
I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do
you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why
Do you expect me to
believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I can feel, I can feel you
near me, even when you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you
baby, why
Meanwhile across town…………………
Hermione stood in the doorway of her backdoor and she looked out at the ongoing party. Everyone was there. Ron, Fred, George, Alicia, Angelina, Lee and other friends who they had met along the way all mingled around the large landscaped backyard.
Then her eyes held onto Harry, his emerald eyes glistened and sent rays across his already glowing face. Hermione gave a small smile as she saw Harry chuckle at one of Lavenders jokes. Her stomach did an unusual but familiar flop. She shook it off and began walking over to Harry and Lavender.
Harry had just looked over and his eyes latched onto Hermione's body. She wore a tight red halter top dress that hugged her body in all the right places.
"Hey" she said as she stood next to Harry who took her hand into his.
"Lo Hermione, long time no see" said Lavender "I missed hanging out with you guys"
"Yeah me too. I really miss when we used to……" said Hermione before she began giggling girlishly.
"I…know" said Lavender between laughs.
"Heeeeeeey!" said Harry remembering their scandalous Hogwarts years. "I don't think I would like that"
Lavender leaned forward and playfully punched him in the stomach.
Just then a waiter came and asked "Wine? Alize? Vodka?"
"Sure" said Lavender as she reached for the wine.
Harry smirked and he grabbed a glass of vodka. He turned to Hermione and asked "What will my lovely wife have?"
Hermione wanted the Alize but something in her stomach told her otherwise. She shook her head and said "I'll just have some of Harry's vodka".
"Ooooh" said Lavender jokingly " You could always hold your liquor Hermione"
Hermione rolled her eyes and then allowed them to scroll across the yard.
Harry had taken a mouthful of vodka from him glass when Hermione reached for it. Harry gave it to her unconsciously as he and Lavender continued their conversation. Hermione raised the glass to her lips then froze.
Hermione yanked her hand out of Harry's and slapped it over her mouth while the glass in the other fell and shattered. Hermione went racing top speed to the bathroom.
"Hermione what's wrong" shouted Harry as he sped after her.
Hermione found slight relief when she saw the empty bathroom. She ran inside and locked the door. She had just done this when she spun around and vomited into the toilet. A milisecond later Harry was on the other side of the door knocking softly as he listened to his wife throwing up.
"What's wrong love. Open the door".
Hermione sat on the floor after she felt as if she was completely dried out and thought to herself
"What is wrong with me? I haven't vomited like this since…."
On the next side of the door…..
People were gathering in worry.
"Is she gonna be okay mate" asked Ron.
"I don't know" said Harry as an extremely awful feeling crept over him. He had to do something.
Hermione lay on her side on the bathroom floor with a little white stick in her hand.
"I can't believe it, I'm…." She closed her eyes at the thought and curled into a tiny ball and allowed the chill from the tiles to penetrate her body.
Harry knocked again then said "Hermione, If you don't answer me I'm coming in" He closed his eyes and waited for an answer he did not receive.
"That's it I'm coming in" he muttered.
He stepped back a bit from the door, took his wand out and before he could utter Alohamora properly the door swung open.
