Chapter 2

Hermione ran through the crowd until she reached her apartment. Once inside, Hermione started to break down.

Tears were streaming out of her eyes making her vision but a blur. Brielle was asleep in her stroller oblivious to the pain that had been caused since her birth.

Hermione sat at the table for five minutes weeping, when Ginny her roommate came through the door, bags of groceries in her arms.

"Hermione I'm h…" When Ginny spotted Hermione crying her heart out at the table, she dropped her bags and ran to her friend.

"Mione, what happened? Are you hurt?" Ginny then looked around for Brielle. "Where's Brielle?" At that, Hermione broke down into more tears as she laid her head down on the table, arms wrapped around it.

"Mione…tell me what happened…" Said Ginny as she just made eye contact with her weeping friend. She couldn't imagine what had happened to make Hermione and herself in the situation they were in.

Hermione bent her head, she was ashamed. Ashamed of herself for believing that Draco was the one. That he had changed for the better.

"I…I…I saw…Draco today…in Diagon Alley." The last part barely made it to Ginny's ears before her eyes widened. She knew what happened between Draco Malfoy and Hermione, and it made her want to rip Draco's head off and feed it to the trolls.

He disgusted her. Doing something to break any girl's heart was a serious crime in Ginny's book, and everyone who dated her had plenty experience in that department.

"It's ok, I feel for you Hermione." Ginny said as she wrapped her arms around Hermione and drew her closer and into a friendly hug.

As if on cue, Brielle started to cry, getting the two girls attention. Hermione glanced at the clock. "Oh dear, Brielle is an hour past her regular feeding."

Hermione tried to pull herself up from the table when Ginny's hand landed on her shoulder. "It's ok, Mione, I'll feed her. You just go and lay down, alright?"

Ginny picked up Brielle and headed towards the fridge, her back turned to Hermione signaling the end of their conversation. Hermione weakly smiled at her self then strode off down the hall to her bedroom.

Inside her room there was a bed, crib, dresser and a small bookshelf. She plopped down on her bed, face first into the pillows.

'Why did she have to be punished. Was this God's way of telling her to wait until she slept with someone else!' When she had first spotted Draco in Diagon Alley, her heart skipped a beat until she looked into his blue eyes.

All she could see there was disgust. Disgust for her, and her child…their child. With a heavy sigh, Hermione gave in to her fluttering eyes and swiftly fell asleep.

Ginny peaked into Hermione's room about a half hour later. She needed to put Brielle in her crib, but she didn't want to wake Hermione up in the process.

So creaking open the door just so she could squeeze in, Ginny then tiptoed towards the crib next to Hermione's bed. Brielle shifted a bit in her arms but didn't fuss at all.

Which was a good thing for Ginny at that moment. Gently she put Brielle down in the crib and just stood hovering over her for a few minutes.

"I feel horrible for you Brielle. You being so innocent then caught in the middle of an invisible war." Ginny stroked the sleeping baby's head softly before walking out of the room, the door shutting with a click.

2 Weeks Later…

"Hermione! I'm going out for the night, ok!" Ginny yelled before running out the door. It was a Friday night and Ginny always went out on Fridays.

She would always meet a guy, then end up dumping him a week later. The last guy she met was good looking but couldn't keep his hands from wandering a little to far down South.

Ginny smacked his cheek leaving a red handprint. But Ginny decided to start over fresh just before she entered a heavily filthy tavern. As you walk through the door, you can instantly smell the alcohol in the dense air.

"Hey there sweet thing! How's about you and me head to the back for a little 'one on one' time." Said a cold, thick voice at Ginny's left. He wrapped his right arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, trying to give her a wet kiss.

Ginny was so use to the guys in this tavern hitting on her, that it didn't surprise her what was going on. "Sure dumpling! How bout one right here!" Ginny pointed to her cheek and gave a seductive smile.

As he leaned in for the kiss, Ginny slapped him right side the head and kicked him were the sun don't shine. "That serves you right, trying to hit on a lady." Said Ginny, before stalking off to the bar.

"That might be true in some cases, but I've never seen a 'lady' drink as much whiskey as you!" The old bartender said as his head came lurking up from below the bar.

"Oh, shut it up, Cliff." Ginny couldn't help but smile. The bartender Cliff was a softy, even though at first looks he would seem haggardly.

"One fire whiskey, Cliff." Ginny always started the evening up with one of these. She had liked the drink ever since Fred and George gave her a cup of it but told her it was warm cider.

They sure had gotten their hides skinned that evening! Their screams were so loud , Ginny could hear them out in the barn. As Cliff slid a bottle of red liquid down to her, she muttered a thanks before taking to looking around the tavern.

The first people she saw were Blaise Zambini and Pansy Parkinson sitting cozily at a two-seater table. Ginny almost gagged her drink at the sight of the most unlikely odd couple.

'If Zambini and Parkinson are there, Crabbe and Goyle over there…then were the hell is that rat Malfoy?' Ginny's eyes scanned the room for any sign of Malfoy's presence.

After fully scanning the whole room, no sign of Draco Malfoy. Ginny sighed as she turned back to the bar and the intoxicating liquor in her hands.

At the same moment, someone dropped down onto the seat at Ginny's left. "One fire whiskey…"said the strange, but oddly familiar voice.

Almost at once, Ginny recognized the voice and turned to her left. She couldn't believe it! Draco Malfoy was sitting beside her with a bottle of fire whiskey, drinking his heart out.

He looked pale and not well at all. "Hey Malfoy, mind moving down some, your stinking up the bar!" Ginny got his attention but almost regretted it when she saw the emptiness in his eyes as he turned to look at her.
