Chapter 14: A Broken Heart
"So, what do you want to do?" Ron asked me. He wiped a few tears from my cheek.
"I dont know, I care about you, Ron. But I dont think its enough to keep a relationship working, much less a marriage," I said. His eyes began to get watery. He started to blink back tears. I felt so horrible. And, how was I supposed to tell him the baby I was pregnant with wasn't his?
"Hazel, I want to ask you something, and I need you to tell me the truth. O.K?"
"Yeah."
"When was the last time you saw Draco?"
"Um, about 2 months ago," I replied. I really hoped he didn't remember I was also 2 months pregnant. He looked at me, with a serious expression. He knew. I felt horrible. I wanted to just die right then and there.
"The baby isn't mine, is it?" His expression hopeful, yet ready for the worst news.
"No, its not. It's Draco's."
"Hey, look at me. It's okay. I dont hate you." He hugged me. Just then, we heard a small "pop". There was Hermione, in a beautiful red evening dress.
"Am I late?" She asked. I couldn't help but giggle, despite the situation. Ron chuckled as well.
"Err, yeah, you are. We're already planning a divorce," Ron said.
"NO! Are you serious?" She asked. (She's such a blond).
"Yeah, I told him I still have feelings for Draco," I said while starting to walk past her. "He's all yours," I whispered in her ear discreetly.
"I'll see you in a bit, Ron," I said, loudly as I walked away.
Making my way around the building, looking for a place to be alone, and think things through, I heard a very distinct "pop" behind me. I turned around, slowly, cautiously. Who I saw took my breath away. Made my heart skip 3 beats. Made butterflies arise in my stomach.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I missed you. I had to see you. Why aren't you with Ron?" He asked, looking around. I noticed he was in a black suit, with a silk burgundy dress shirt. His platinum blonde hair looked even lighter than ever. His eyes, caring, looked into my eyes. Trying to find an answer to his own question.
"Draco, I love you."
