Chapter 16: Vindicated

Hermione ran out of the room taking a sharp turn round the corner. She hit Harry in the shoulder by accident in her hast bringing him out of his shock. He looked to the door where Hermione had just disappeared took a quick glance at Ron who was staring at the door. Ron then looked back at Harry and nodded. Harry took that as a signal and ran off running as fast as his legs would carry him, which was indeed quite fast.

He could tell where she'd gone the red carpet on the wood floor was wrinkled and turned up in places. He soon found his own bedroom door ajar, his stereo blasting Oasis's 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' playing. His alarm clock like Ron's had seemed to go off. He walked cautiously in to the room and found Hermione sitting against the side of the bed; eyes closed her head turned toward the ceiling. She didn't acknowledge his presence nor was Harry sure she knew he was in there.

What Harry did next he had debated about quite in the 2 minutes he stood before he worked up the confidence to do so. Taking a deep breath he walked over to her standing in front of Hermione, he radiated confidence and kindness at the same time. Bending down he grabbed her by the upper arms. Her eyes shot open her face unreadable, Harry hoisted her up to her feet. Taking a few moments to look in to her beautiful eyes as they starred back in to his. She trembled slightly as he pulled her lips on to his in a fierce passionate kiss.

The twinge of fear she would push him away was gone when Hermione kissed him back just as passionately. Her fingers ran through his messy hair, she felt like she'd melted totally in to his strong arms and never wanted it to stop. They stumbled on to the bed, their hands moving all over each other as their hunger for each other escalated.

All too soon there was yelling outside in the hall all though they paid it no mind. When the bedroom doors flew open with a loud bang. That's when they stopped both breathing heavily like they'd run a marathon. Standing in the door way to Harry's horror was Ginny. He and Hermione slowly got up fro the bed starring at Ginny; she had a mix of rage and satisfaction on her freckled face.

"Can we help you Ginny?" asked Harry His mind trying to think of a plausible reason for her dropping in.

Ginny smirked slightly "You can Harry," she paused giving him a once over, "this however is of no concern to her." Ginny glared at Hermione quickly before turning back to Harry.

"Well then I'm afraid I must politely decline." Harry said unshakably. This made Hermione feel happy inside as she tried to hold back a smile.

"It's about you Aunt and Uncle." Ginny said smoothly.

"What about them!" he snapped.

"They're dead, Harry."

Mean While in San Tropez

"You never told me you had a little sister." Dria said her voice deadly clam.

"I ah...I mean-" Draco stuttered.

"When were you planning on telling me?"

"I was going to."

"I'm sure!" Dria then flounced angrily out of the room in to the hall where Draco heard a door slam. Samaire then poked her head out of her room an innocent look on her face.

"Oh dear, I hope I'm not the cause of all this?" she said coyly a small smirk on her face. She closed her door leaving Draco to his thoughts. He ran his hands through his hair in annoyance, looking out the window he saw his horse that Dria and lazily tied to a post. Letting out an angry sigh he tended to the animal untying it and leading it back in to it's stable.

Inside the villa Samaire knocked on the door to Dria's room. "Who is it?" came Dria's voice from behind the door.

"Samaire." The door quickly opened and she entered. When she was in the room the door closed she turned to see Dria. She was wearing a simple black strapless dress that went down to about half way down her thigh and jeans, Her Jackie O sunglasses on top of her head.

"Why do you hate him?" she asked looking the young girl in the eyes.

"Isn't it obvious?" she said

"No please explain what's so 'obvious'." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"It's a long story."

"I've got time."

"Well I don't" snapped Samaire. She tried to get to the door but Dria blocked her exit.

"Looks like you schedule just opened up." Dria said a triumphant smirk on her face.

Harry and Hermione ran out of the room Ron got up to follow but Avery grabbed his arm before he could get out of the bed.

"Leave them."

"But-" he pleaded.

"They are adults, they can take care of themselves. We're not 16 years old remember?"

Her words seemed to have no effect on the young Weasly as he continued to get up and put on his pants.

"Ronald Weasly when will you learn not to meddle!" he stopped in his tracks turning slowly.

"I do not meddle." He said slightly insulted

Sensing she'd struck she shot back "Yes you do, you're the biggest meddler EVER!" although it wasn't her wittiest come back ever it worked with Ron.

"I am not!" he countered lamely.

"You most certainly are!" Avery was winning this battle of wits as she almost always did but she did feel guilty for stooping to such immature lows.

Ron just let out an exasperated sigh and started for the door pulling a random t-shirt over his head.

"RON! If you walk out that door I'll...I'll"

He turned annoyed "You'll do what?"

"I will never EVER speak to you again!" she shouted ' Wow Kensington original' said a cynical vice in her head.

Ron closed the door and turned to her smiling "Fine I won't go and 'meddle'," said meddle imitating her voice "but under one condition."

"What is your condition?"

"You have to come with me today to visit my family."

"Fine, no big deal." she was amazed at how easy it would be.

Ron smirked he knew for a fact that Percy was at home to day giving a presentation on his latest boring project which Avery would have to sit through. They shook hands then while Avery took a shower Ron called up his brothers Fred and George, Avery wouldn't know what hit her.
