CHAPTER 9- HERMIONE/ANDROMEDA

AN: THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS THIS IS DEDICATED TO A GUEST SO I HOPE THEY LIKE IT ANYWAYS HAPPY READING

Hermione sighed as she nursed her fire whiskey this wasn't the life she imagined for herself, then she didn't think she was a witch but that changed, she didn't think she would be practically be in hiding after the second war, the attention was too much for her and for Harry so they kept away from it but Ron was loving the attention and had even wrote a book about it where he made out he was the hero in the tales. Hermione and Harry didn't argue with him they didn't really care about it.

Hermione drank the rest of her fire whiskey in on gulp then left the small bar she had found herself in once outside she noticed it was raining she hadn't brought a coat or an umbrella to keep dry sighing she decided the best thing to do was find somewhere to stay the night until the rain cleared she hadn't realised she had come to a house she use to be in all the time.

When the trio first started getting all the attention they had hidden with Andromeda Bellatrix and Narcissa's sister she was on the light side having been cast out by her family for marrying a muggle born when she was only young, she let the three stay with her it was then that Hermione got to know the older woman they had become fast friends Andromeda would hold her when she had nightmares of what her sister did to her.

That friendship turned into something more or at least it did for Hermione who had begun falling or the older woman she said nothing about it and hoped the feelings would go but they didn't.

Hermione remembered the night they first kissed it was like it was yesterday, it all started with Hermione getting drunk she had found it harder to ignore her feelings.

Hermione staggered into Andromeda's house, she would regret this in the morning but right now she needed to forget about what she felt for Andy.

Hermione staggered into the living room and stopped dead she saw Andy looking at her she didn't look happy she looked angry and concerned.

"Where have you been?" she asked her voice was hard Hermione gulped "Hermione" her tone was hard but it still sent a shiver down her spine and to core.

"I was out" Hermione replied she went to walk away but Andy grabbed her wrist before she could leave "please don't" Hermione whispered Andy touching her set her skin on fire it would make her do something she probably will regret or it would make Andy hate her.

"Hermione I'm worried your never here and your drinking way to much" Andy's voice went from hard to concerned and soft.

"I can't Andy" Hermione replied trying not to let the tears fall but Andy turned her round and made her look at her.

"Please tell me" Andy begged but Hermione shook her head she could hear the tears when she spoke "please Hermione" it was strained she was losing control of her emotions.

"I can't" Hermione whispered she felt Andy loosen her grip but Hermione didn't move away.

"Why what is so bad? Is it me have I done something to upset you?" Andy was desperate Hermione turned to her she could see the tears pouring down her face Hermione felt guilty she took Andy in her arms as the older woman sobbed she held her tight it felt right at least to Hermione it did.

"You have done nothing wrong it's all me I find it hard to be around you" Hermione knew this was the drink talking but she couldn't stop herself.

"Why?" Andy asked.

"Because I want you!" Hermione shouted it took Andy by surprise "I want you so much it hurts, when I see you I just want to kiss you, I just want to love you like you should be loved" Andy didn't know what to say she sounded so passionate. "I know nothing will happen and given time it will go away in time but until then I can't be here with you it's too hard" Hermione sobbed.

Andy said nothing she looked at the floor she didn't know what to say Hermione sighed she knew that silence meant that she was right Andy won't want to be her friend anymore she turned and made her way out the house she wanted to get rid of the feeling of rejection.

Hermione grabbed the door handle and went to turn it but she was grabbed by the arm and turned around, she saw Andy looking at her she had a fire in her eyes she pushed Hermione against the door using her body to pin the younger girl she heard Hermione moan in pleasure.

"Love me then" she whispered Hermione wasn't sure what made her snap but suddenly she had turned it so she had Andy pinned to the door she crashed their lips together it was passionate she bit Andy's bottom lip which meant she could push her tongue and battle with Andy's her hands roamed under Andy's shirt she felt the soft skin she tugged her closer or as close she could.

Andy was shocked at the amount of passion was in the kiss she never had that with Ted without thinking Andy began unbuttoning Hermione's shirt pushing it over her shoulders and letting it land on the floor she then proceeded to push Hermione into the wall opposite.

Hermione shook herself from her thoughts of her and Andy's first time she messed it up she cared more about what Harry and Ron thought than what she actually wanted and now she lost her and it was all her fault.

So Hermione did the only thing she knew she could do she got drunk, it was easier than dealing with the pain of losing the one she loved she hadn't even noticed it was raining she let the water wash over her it was heavy rain and she would probably get sick if she didn't get inside but she didn't care.

"You're going to get ill" someone said behind her she knew who it was she knew that voice anywhere she turned and saw Andromeda stood under an umbrella looking at her.

"So what, what does it matter now?" Hermione replied she watched as Andy moved closer to her.

"I don't want you to get sick Hermione" Andy replied "are you drunk?" Hermione just snorted and went to walk away but Andy was following her "Hermione let me take you home!" Andy shouted she was getting desperate now she was genuinely worried about the younger girl Harry had been telling her how Hermione was on a downward spiral her life was getting harder according to him.

"No" was all she said but Andy wasn't about to give up "I broke your heart you shouldn't be here looking after me I deserve all this"

"Why do you think that?" Andy asked Hermione cried out in frustration she wanted Andy to be happy.

"Because you are the only person I will ever love and I ruined it by being too scared, I deserve everything I get in life" Andy felt the tears in her eyes "so please live your life and be happy don't worry about me" Hermione began walking away Andy stood still for a second before she moved throwing her umbrella to the side she felt the rain hit her she ran after Hermione and turned her round Hermione looked surprised but before she could say anything the older woman crashed their lips together.

Hermione responded to the kiss pulling the girl closer to her they let the rain soak them because it didn't matter they had each other now.
