Vindicated Chapter 4: And I am flawed, a harry potter fanfic

Disclaimer- I don't own HP

A/NI would like to apologize to all of my readers for not updating as quickly as I would have liked. So, here is an update of a chapter or two.

I hate the night bus. I think savagely as I get off in front of the Borrow. There is indeed a party going on. The music is being blasted andI'm surprised that I didn't here it on the nightbus. I walk up to the door, and knock. Somebody must have been standing right by the door because about two seconds later it opens.

"Thank you Bl-" Hermione stops with a look of utter shock coming up to her face. "You-You're!"

"It's not a disease Hermione." I say as I step inside. "Now, why exactly did I have to come all the way here from America?"

"Confucous." Hermione says pointing her wand at me and casting the spell that makes people un-noticable when people look at them.

"Why did you cast that spell on me Hermione?" I ask feeling irratable.

"Follow me." Hermione says as she walks upstairs.

"No, don't get up early and travel internationally. No, there's no need at all to know why you just did that. No, of coarse we're never going to explain to you why we told you to do all of that. Yes, we will make you mad. Quite funny isn't it?" I mummble under my breath as I follow Hermione to the attic.

"Okay, sit down." Hermione says after she closes the door and locks it while taking off her spell.

"Okay. Would you mind getting on with your story?" I ask with my teeth grinding against one another.

"Is it Harry's?" Hermione asks ignoring my question.

"Yes it is. Now would you mind going on with your story?" I ask impatiently.

"Well, it's been four months sense you left, and several things have hapened. As I'm sure you know, Voldemort is killing more muggles. Everything that Order does is being thwarted. We need more people taking action against him, but they just keep on cowaring back from it all like that will stop everything." Hermione said angrily before she continued. "Ron and I are going to get married as soon as this war is over...Harry'sengagedtoBethwhoweallhate." Hermione finished quickly.

"And what did you want me to do about it?" I ask.

"You mean you honestly don't care-"

"It's his choice. I can't stop it, and I'm certainly not forcing him to marry me if he doesn't want to." I state coldly.

"You-You're just like them. You won't do anything to help! You're just going to sit back and watch people fall without doing anything about it!" Hermione screamed at me.

"And how do you know that he would fall with Beth? Have you given her a chance to redeem herself? How do you know that she won't help him!" I ask calmly.

"Because I just do." Hermione says looking at me like she had never seen me before.

"So it's instinct? Or could it be that you all would just prefere him with someone else?"

"I thought that you were different. I thought that you weren't like those other Slytherin. You only look out for yourself! You're just like Malfoy and the rest of your bunch. You never were different! Get out of this room right now and tell-"Hermione screeches at me.

"Tell Harry what? That no, I'm sorry, you can't marry someone who you love becuse our one nightstand resulted in me being pregnant? That he has to be stuck with me for the rest of his life because we had too much to drink?" I ask looking like I could cry. But I won't because I'm stronger than that. Because to cry is to be weak.

"But he can't love her! It's too soon! He's just trying to replace you!" Hermione shouts at me.

"He's a big boy. He can make his own decisions."

"But he's a dumbass when it comes to himself!"

"How would we know what we were capable of if somebody stopped us because they were afraid we might fall. I'm not going to break up thier engagement because I got knocked up. If all of you hate her, than tell him that you're worried about it being too soon!"

"We have!We've tried everything that we can think of, and nothing is getting through to him. You were our last hope!" Hermione shouted.

"That's when you think of another tactict and try again.Go to Dumbledore for help or Lupin. Or anybody that he'll listen to."

"He won't listen to Dumbledore, and Lupin loves him too much to ever hurt him. You're the only person who he'll listen to." Hermione said with tears in her eyes.

"I'll use a concealment charm." I sighed as I handed her a tissue.
