Chapter 14

Dilemma

He never felt so rested in his life. It was rare for him not to have any dreams of some sort. He was a little used with it already. And yet, the feeling of not having a nightmare was implausible. He felt greatly regenerated.

Waking up in the middle of the night, he realized he wasn't in his comfy room. He was still in Hermione's living room, sleeping over the rest of the day. I must've fallen asleep. He wondered. He remembered working on Hermione's windows and sitting in this same sofa. But he had forgotten what had happen after that. Looking around the room, he was surprised to see a bowl of soup on the center table, a glass of water, and a bottle of some kind of medicine. And looking further, he saw pieces of a jigsaw puzzle placed on the table, partly finished. And Hermione was on the floor, her head resting on the table, sleeping.

He smiled at her as he watched her sleep. Standing up from the sofa, he sat beside her and observed the jigsaw puzzle she was working on. It was one of those 500 pieces jigsaw puzzles he saw in stores. And hers was a picture of green meadows and birds. She must've worked on it while she was taking care of him. He reckoned he felt sick that time.

Grabbing the sheets on the sofa, he draped them over Hermione, keeping her warm. He kissed her cheek and left.

Waking up hours later, Hermione found herself alone in her living room. She glanced at where Draco was sleeping on and was bewildered not to find him there. Glancing around, she was even more bewildered to find the jigsaw puzzle all done. She then found a note at the bottom of the puzzle, the hand writing quite familiar to her.

Granger,

I'm sorry for worrying you. And thanks.

Malfoy

She smiled at it and headed upstairs for a quick shower. But then, before she could even shampoo her hair, she heard her phone ring. She ignored it first and kept on washing her self. But when it rang for the fourth time, she couldn't help it but answer it. She was expecting it to be Malfoy but…

"Does everybody ignore me already!" Ginny exclaimed as she sobbed on the other line.

Hermione just furrowed her brows. "Gin, I was just taking a shower. Are you alright?"

"Do I sound alright to you, Herm?" She answered and sobbed harder.

"What's wrong now, Gin? Is it the baby?" She speculated. Pregnant women can be irritable sometimes.

"The baby is just fine." Ginny answered, lowering her sobs a little. "I just can't take it anymore."

"Take what?"

"Seamus…" She sniffed. "We had another fight last night. And he didn't come home…"

"Oh Gin…" Hermione mumbled, feeling a little sympathy for her friend. "Do you want me to do something? I'll talk to him, if you want."

"No! No…" She sniffled again and sighed. "I don't want to involve you guys…"

"Have you talked to Ron about this?"

"No. I couldn't." Ginny explained. "If I told him about this he might pound him or something. You know my brother, he couldn't control his temper."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Hermione mumbled. "Well, I'll come by now if you want. Then we'll talk about it. I'll just get dressed."

"Thanks, Herm. I'll be waiting…"

"Okay. Just hang on there." And they hung up. Hermione just stared at her phone for a while and decided to call him.

She smiled as she heard his groggy voice.

"Yep?" He uttered.

"Hey, it's me." She whispered. "Feeling fine already?"

Draco sighed and smiled. "A little. Thanks to my doctor."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that." She sighed. "Well, anyway, I won't be able to see you today. I have a big problem going on right now."

"Problem?" Draco sat up from his bed. His head was still in a spin. But the medication she gave her seemed to kick in a little.

"It's not really that big but… It's Ginny."

"Yeah? What's with her?"

"She had a fight with Seamus. She just phoned me awhile ago. She couldn't stop crying."

That's why he hated pregnant women. "You want me to help?"

"Nah. I'll handle this. Thanks anyway. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah."

"Take care, Malfoy."

"You too, Granger."

Upon arriving, Ginny opened the door in a surprising fashion. She never looked so gloomy and outmoded in her entire life. She was wearing nothing but an over sized shirt and a pair of cycling shorts. It was so … well, unlike her.

"Ginny! Look at you…" Hermione looked at her. "You look… great."

"Oh Herm wake up to reality. I look like hell." Ginny amended and let her in. Hermione looked around and found the house a mess.

"Okay, okay. What's with the shirt?" Hermione blurted, finding the shirt adorable on Ginny. But then, Ginny started to cry again.

"It's Seamus' shirt. I can't stop thinking about him!" Ginny heaved. Hermione hugged her broken friend and led her to the couch.

"Okay. Relax. Tell me what happened."

"I don't know." Ginny grabbed a couple of tissue paper and blew her runny nose. "It was really late--you know how I get grumpy when it's late-- and we started arguing."

"Arguing about what?"

"About us… the baby…" She sobbed again.

"C'mon, Gin, you love each other. Maybe both of you said things that you don't really intend."

"I know! That's the thing. You see… He got angry at himself. I was putting him down… I didn't mean to… I just said those awful things about him… how terrible of me…"

"What did you say?"

"I told him that he wasn't the best husband at all. How could he be the best father if he couldn't even manage our marriage?"

"Woah." Hermione settled herself. She didn't know it came to the point of questioning their marriage. "What made you say that?"

"He loves his work more than he loves me! He doesn't go home a few nights just to work! What does that look like, Herm? Is he cheating on me? Why can't he just tell me? Tell me that he doesn't love me anymore!"

"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed, shushing her down. She was going berserk already. "You know Seamus more than I do. But I never saw Seamus as the cheating type of guy. Why would he cheat on you? He loves you."

Ginny just sniffed. "I don't know what came in my mind. Why did I say such things?" A tear slipped down her cheek. "I messed up…"

"Look, maybe Seamus just works over time. Maybe he had problems at work. That sometimes happens."

"I know…" She sighed. "Oh Merlin, I messed up pretty bad."

Answer the damn phone! Hermione screamed in her mind as Ron's phone kept on ringing. She held her breath as she heard a click on the other line.

"Weasley Industries, may I help you?"

"This is Hermione Granger. I would like to speak with Ron Weasley."

"I'm sorry ma'am but he's in a meeting."

"What!" She wanted to throw her phone. "Can you call him for a moment? This is an emergency."

"But ma'am, Sir Weasley told me to—"

"Please!" Hermione pleaded.

The secretary sighed and gave up. "I'll see what I can do."

Finally. Hermione thought and waited for a minute.

"Herm?" Ron finally answered.

"Ron! Thank goodness! Is it really hard to reach you nowadays?" Hermione sarcastically said.

"I'm sorry about that. It's just my company contract and—never mind about that. What did you say the problem was?"

"Do you know where Seamus is?"

"What?" Ron wondered. "Why are you asking me?"

"They had fight, Ron. We have to find him. Ginny couldn't stop crying without him."

"Fight?" Ron repeated.

"Yes. A fight. And yes, I need you to help me find Seamus. It's really bad, Ron. HELP ME!"

"Alright, alright. I'm coming over. Where are you?"

"Ginny's house."

"Wait there."
