The Arrangement Chapter 5

Thank you to PhoenixTamer150, tHecHroniclesOFbRittany, QueenofTheDuctTape, Bookwrm17, and HarryPotterObsessed for your reviews, you guys rock out loud. I'm so sorry for not updating, but you know it's great getting reviews like the ones you guys left me, they really made me feel great, and just wanna hand out virtual cookies...lol.

Note: POV has been changed...I thought it'd be interesting to see what's up with Hermione. Also you get to talk to someone other than Draco and Hermione..I hope he sounds like himself...
Just perfect, the bloody ponce has ran out on me and I don't speak a word of French! I'm going to kill Draco Malfoy if it's the last thing I do. How dare he talk to me about fantasy, the boy has probably never had a fantasy that didn't include…nighttime activities. Him worried about his children, he's only worried because they are what uphold the family name, he only cares about his family's name and himself, how could I let Dumbledore and my family talk me into this I must be insane. I heard banging on the door. I got up and answered it. Malfoy came in.

"I forgot my key."

"You don't know how to work your key."

"Granger, I've just about had it with you. I know your angry with me and most of the world, so go ahead, take out your anger. Because I'm sick of you being a stuck up brat who thinks she should have everything perfect, let's face it Granger, your never going to get anything perfect!"

"As long as I'm married to a Malfoy I won't. Why did I have to marry you?" I whispered the last part.

"You act like this is all sunshine and cheering charms for me Granger."

"You get off easy, you've got a Gryffindor as your wife right after a war, chances are your end of the bargain is great. I on the other hand got saddled with a Slytherin with a family full of Death Eaters. I believe I am the one who will be ridiculed in public, people who trusted me could turn on me, or worse check me for curses every time I turn around."

"I refuse to be insulted by my own wife! If your so bloody worried about your reputation then well call this all off and you can go on through life knowing you just murdered everyone in the whole bloody wizarding world."

"Malfoy, you being a Pureblood and all should know that you cannot break a wizard marriage.", I said flatly.

"Granger, I'm not one to hit women, but I never wanted to hit one so much before ever in my life."

"Go ahead Malfoy, be like your father, beat women.", I knew as soon as I said that I shouldn't have. Malfoy's eyes turned as dark as the sky before a London Storm. He rushed forward and slammed me against the wall. "Do not speak of what you don't' know, you look and sound very ignorant.", he said surprisingly calm. "Now, I'm going to go…somewhere, when I return in one hour I demand that you've lost this bratty attitude you've picked up. You are a Malfoy and my wife and you shall act like one." He let me go and walked out the door, but not before he picked up a key sitting on the table. The door slammed shut and I slid down the wall. I have never failed anything in my life, I refuse to let my marriage fail. I got up and walked to the telephone.

"Bonjour, comment est-ce que je peux diriger votre appel?" (Hello, how may I direct your call?)

"I'm sorry I do not speak French. I need to speak to a Ginerva Potter."

"Excusez-moi manque, Je ne comprends pas." (Excuse me miss, I do not understand.)

"I do not speak French. Ginerva Potter."

"Un moment, Je vous relierai à un traducteur." (One moment, I'll connect you to a translator.)

"Ma'am, wait, ma'am!"

"Bonjour, comment est-ce que je peux diriger votre appel?" (Hello, how may I direct your call?)

"Ma'am, I do not speak French, I need to get ahold of Ginerva Potter."

"Oh, right away Miss." I sighed a breath of relief, I must learn French.

"Hello?"

"Harry?"

"Hermione? Are you on your honeymoon?"

"Oh Harry, it's horrible. We're at each other's throats, I'm so mean to him." I heard Harry laughing. "What's so funny?"

"You're mean to him?"

"Yes, he tries to be civil and I just throw it in his face. What's wrong with me Harry?"

"Mione, you need to relax. He's trying to be nice, be nice back."

"I'm afraid to."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I guess it's just childhood stereotypes coming back to haunt me. I guess I'm afraid Lucius Malfoy is going to come knocking on my door called me horrid names and trying to turn me over to Voldemort."

"Always the worrywart. Hermione, Voldemort and Lucius are both dead, you need to get over the past. Times have changed, we're obviously not the same people we used to be."

"I'm so mean Harry, this isn't me. He knows it's not me, he told me that he doesn't want a child in this environment. Harry, he wants a big happy family."

"What would you expect Mione, he's an only child with a dead death eater father. If you were him you'd want a big happy family too. I know you're not used to this whole married to Malfoy thing, but let's face it, you're stuck with him, you can't be miserable for the rest of your life."

"I should have called Ron."

"Why's that?"

"He would tell me the Ferret deserves meanness."

"That's only because he still loves you."

"Don't tell me things like that Harry."

"Mione, you know you don't love him. So what does it matter?"

"It matters a lot, he's one of my best friends, I can't help but feel horrible for running off and marrying his worst enemy."

"But you didn't run off and marry Malfoy, you were forced. Just relax Mione, you'll be fine. I'm gonna go now, I have to help Ginny with dinner. Talk to you soon."
"Okay, give Ginny my love."

I hung up and sighed, why couldn't I have what Harry and Ginny have, why for once couldn't I be happy for once. I suddenly became disgusted with myself. Here I am all sad and depressed about not ever having happiness and I just got off the phone with Harry who's just now getting a true since of happy. I am a horrible person.
