Young and Innocent
Chapter 4
Hermione stirred after hearing a crash from down stairs. She blinked and looked around, it took her a moment to remember where she was. She sat up and heard another loud bang. She stood up and grabbed her robe from her bag and threw it around herself. She quietly made her way downstairs with her wand outstretched in front of her.
When she got down to the dining room she could see a shadow of a man. Before she could do anything the man turned around and grabbed her wand pulling it from her hands. He grabbed her arm pulling her back towards him and covering her mouth. She moved to kick him, but he whispered in her ear. "Hermione, its me. Shh" And she knew exactly who it was.
He let her go and she turned around, "Harry! What are you doing here!" She whispered. It was a good thing she hadn't woken up Ginny, she didn't want to think what she would do right now. She couldn't imagine how Ginny was feeling, ontop of being pregnant and hormonal.
"I just came to leave something," He said sounding sad and tired. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a small folded up note with Ginny's name scrawled across the front of it.
As much as Hermione had been mad at him earlier she was now feeling very sorry for him. She realized all she heard was Ginny's side of the story, she had been angry at him without even hearing what he had to say. "Harry, I know its not my business but, what happened?"
Harry let out a long, sad sigh. "Hermione, even if you don't believe me, I didn't cheat on her." Hermione didn't say anything, she stayed quiet waiting for him to go on.
"The perfume was from when I was at the store picking out which one to buy her.." He held up a bag.
"You were buying her perfume?" She raised and eyebrow.
"Yeah, along with some other things for Valentines" He said staring at her. "I would never cheat on her Hermione."
"I know you wouldn't, I believe you Harry" Hermione said and he looked relieved.
Suddenly she heard foot steps on the stairs and a light coming down, Ginny.
Ginny stopped at the bottom of the stairs and stared at them for a moment before speaking, "I'll be out soon, then you can come back" She said to Harry.
"Ginny please just listen to-"
"Harry its four in the morning and the last thing I want to do is listen to your excuses." She said and turned to go back upstairs.
"Ginny, I think you should listen to him." Hermione said and Ginny turned back around. "Atleast give him a chance"
Ginny sighed, but she trusted Hermione and agreed to listen.
Hermione smiled a little, hoping everything would turn out ok. She went to the guest room, grabbed her bag and flooed back home. She looked at the clock in their sitting room, 4:38. She yawned and walked towards the bedroom to find Ron snoring loudly on their bed. She smiled and climbed in next to him, cuddling close to him.
"Hermione, wake up love" Ron said as he set a tray of food on the bed next to her.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. "You made breakfast?" She asked, grabbing the plat and a fork.
"Yeah" He grinned and sat next to her takeing his own plate.
"What are we doing today?"
"Well, first we eat breakfast" Ron started "Then we can do what ever you want, but I have dinner planned already"
"Hmm, whatever I want?" She smirked and cocked an eyebrow.
"Anything"
That began one of the most memorable Valentines Hermione had ever had.
