Chapter 45:

"I don't know, maybe you will tell me what is it?" he asked angrily.

"Draco what are you talking about, everything was alright a minute ago, what happened?" she asked worriedly.

"You know damn well what happened. Don't try to act like the innocent victim now." Draco said a little louder than he intended.

"Draco, what do you mean the innocent victim? What did I do? Please tell me. You can't just decide to flip out and not explain yourself." said Hermione, raising her voice a bit.

"You know what Hermione? I don't even want to talk about this. Now I understand my real place in your world, life, and heart. I don't need to hear anything else." said Draco heading to the door.

"Draco what do you mean now you understand? How can you say this two days after I married you?" she asked, holding him back, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Hermione, I know that I'm not perfect, but I always thought my love to you would make it all up. I guess I was wrong." said Draco, realizing that it was harder then ever to control his feelings.

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

"Draco you are perfect, you're perfect for me." said Hermione, breaking into loud sobs.

"Am I really perfect for you? Am I?" Draco yelled out.

Hermione opened her mouth to reply but got cut off by Draco.

"I'm not sure you mean what you say." he said handing the letter over to her.

"What is this?" she asked, looking at the letter confused.

"A letter, from Potter." Draco spat angrily, shoving the letter in her face.

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

Hermione read the letter, fear taking over every nerve in her body. She knew why Draco was angry right away. Harry still didn't know about their relationship, about their engagement, or their unborn child. He didn't know anything at all. She never told him.

"So, am I really that perfect? Am I too perfect for you to mention me to one of your best friends?" asked Draco, his eyes flashing hurt and betrayal.

"Draco, no. Don't take this the wrong way. Please Draco, don't." pleaded Hermione.

"What other way is there Hermione? Tell me? What would ever make you hide our relationship, after you promised not to do so?" asked Draco, knowing his anger will get the best of him very soon.

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking

"Draco, please, I'm begging you. You got this all wrong. I was never ashamed of you. I just couldn't tell Harry. You have to understand. He's on a very hard mission, imagine the way this will effect him? I didn't' want to throw him off his task." said Hermione, grabbing onto Draco's hand.

"Draco I love you. I really do, please try to understand this from my point of view." added Hermione, begging.

and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

"Hermione if you would have really loved me, everything would have been different right now. How can you claim love for me, yet deny me? How can you claim you love me, yet keep secrets from me? What kind of love is this? Is this the kind of love I deserve? Is it? Answer me! And why, would one ask, why? Because you really think I'm a Death Eater? Because in your heart you never really believed in me?" Draco shouted losing all control.

it's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you

At this point Hermione made him feel lower than low. How could she? After everything they shared, after everything they've been through.

He was a different man, he really was. How could she not see it? How could she not sense it? After everything he's done for her, all she did was make him feel so unworthy.

And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am

"Draco, what are you talking about? How could I not love you? How could I not trust you? I married you god damn it! What would make you think I never meant it? What because of one damned person you will let all of this go down the drain? Draco how could you? How could you even think that way?" asked Hermione, holding onto her stomach.

She knew this kind of stress was very unhealthy for her baby, but what could she do to prevent it? She felt lost, so lost. How would she ever fix this?

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

"How can you love me and keep secrets from me? Ok, lets forget about the fact that one of your best friends has no idea you ever met me in the first place.

How about lying to me? How did you fail to mention Harry? It's not like I've been here for about a week.

Hermione it's been two months if you haven't noticed. I've been here for sixty days, and during those sixty days you constantly forgot to mention Harry?" Draco asked, tears threatening to escape his own eyes.

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what i really am
This is how you remind me
Of what i really am

"Draco, I don't know why I never mentioned him. Not because I didn't trust you. Draco I trust you with my life, I trust you with our future baby's life. What would ever make you think I don't trust you? Please Draco, don't overreact, I'm begging you. I love you I really do." sobbed Hermione, covering her face with her hands. She had never felt so ashamed in her life.

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

"You make me feel this way. You make me feel like you're just playing with my heart. Like I'm not worthy enough to love you, and to receive your love back. If you would have truly loved me, you would have never acted this way.

What have I ever done to deserve this? You know what, don't answer this question, I know what it is. You still think I'm a Death Eater. You think I'm a low scumbag that would betray you and your trust. You think I would sale you out to be praised.

Oh Hermione how mistaken you are. I love you, I really do. I felt like the happiest man when I met you, when I woke up in bed next to you, when I married you.

So what, was it all a mere illusion? Were you pretending and acting? Do you not love me?" asked Draco, walking towards the door.

"Draco, I love you I really do." said Hermione getting on her knees in front of him.

"Draco please don't leave, I don't know what I would do without you. I love you." she cried desperately, holding on to his legs.

"I'm not sure I believe you." replied Draco, shaking his leg off her grip and walking out of the door and out of her life.
