Hello! I'm back with my Chapter Lucky number 7! :)
I actually got stuck a bit on this chapter, I'm not sure if I'm all to happy with it but none the less I promised you guys a chapter and well here it is!
I also want to thank all my reviewers. Thank you for taking the time to give me some feed back it really helps!
And also a typo in Chapter 6 Its going to be David not Daniel. A trailer for Deathly Hollows came on and I though of Daniel Radcliffe. So Sorry.
But on with the chapter!
David seemed like a really nice person to Hermione, he was kind attentive, and very genuine. The evening went by smoothly and soon enough plans were made for Hermione and David to spend in muggle England.
Hermione went home around midnight. She stood staring at her front door, dreading to go in because she knew once she did it would set in. She was alone again. She was alone in an apartment full of memories that were getting really hard to repress. She put her feelings on the line and got hurt. She knew it wasn't done on purpose but it was done none the less. She really missed him. She was starting to really develop strong feelings for him and now there was no way that the two could be together, and that hurt her so much not only emotionally but it was physically hurting her.
She finally opened the door, and took a step in. She carefully closed the door behind her, and then the cold breeze hit her. He never closed that window. She went to close it and decided she deserved a glass of wine for not breaking down. She walked into the kitchen and turned on the light. What she saw she wasn't expecting, nor was she ready to see. It was Fred and he seemed to have the same idea over the wine.
"Fred, what are you doing here?"
"I can't do this Hermione. She disgusts me."
"You're going to have to hold on for a little bit, wait until she has the baby. Think about its safety."
"I know Hermione. I love my child already but I hate his mother. Her presence makes me sick. This morning she called me Oliver! I just can't forget what she put me threw. Not to mention that I miss you horribly."
"I miss you too, but you have to be strong. It won't be long, and then when the baby is safe, you'll be able to make some choices, but for now just cater to her needs."
"Why are you taking this so lightly?" Fred stood up and smashed the bottle on the floor. He paced the kitchen pulling on his hair.
"Hermione, I don't understand what the hell is going on here? You can't possibly be this understanding! Did you really want me out of your life so badly that you'd push me into another girls arm?" Hermione went over to him and slapped him.
"What the hell are you talking about? You at least have a family! Your child Fred! I have nothing. I'm going to come home to nothing! You we're my something! Yes, it was short lived but I miss it and I miss you! And you a bloody prat for thinking that I'm trying to get rid of you! Now you can go to sleep in your old bedroom I don't want you wondering the streets at night when you obviously drunk."
Hermione went to her bedroom, but from the hall she heard him.
"How do you do it Hermione?"
"Do what?"
"How do you manage to care about others while defending yourself?"
"Fred, go to sleep. We both have long days tomorrow."
"Hermione, I love you."
"I love you too Fred."
She heard him wail.
"I don't believe you! Don't make me go back to her."
Instead of going to him and slapping him again like she really wanted to she went inside her room and went under the covers and induced sleep.
Soon morning came. The sun shined on Hermione's eyes making her wake up. She forgot to close the blinds again. She slowly shifter position, ending up sitting on the edge of her bed. She held her head in her hands, just thinking about everything that went on last night. She couldn't help but hope he would still be out there waiting for her. Then she realized that wasn't a good idea at this point. She was so vulnerable that she wouldn't doubt taking him back and leaving the country. Besides she had connections in most of the world. They could do it, but it wasn't fair to anyone if they did.
She headed to open the door; she inhaled deeply and looked outside the hall. Nothing. She shook her head at how silly she was being and began to get ready to go to muggle England with David.
After her shower she brushed out her hair, which remained at straight and silky as the witches had left it for her. She wore some simple neon blue short shorts, a tight black wife beater and some white sneakers. She did somewhat thick blue eyeliner and fanned out her eyelashes with heavy black mascara.
She grabbed her wand and her keys and went to Malfoy Manor. She knocked and Pansy opened the door. Before she could even say anything Scoop ran to his Godmother Hermione and jumped into her arms.
"Aunt Mione! Can I please go with you and Uncle David?"
"You would have to ask your mom if that's O.K. first sweetie."
"Mom can I please-"
"Yes! Yes you can. Go wash up quickly. Go!"
Scoop looked at his mom but decided not to look too much into it.
"What's wrong Pansy?"
"Oh! Hermione this is all too much! I'm way too stressed. I simply can not handle this anymore. I really want to cancel, but Draco is really looking forward to all this, this mess."
"I'm sorry to hear that Pansy. How about tomorrow I help you?"
"Would You? Oh Hermione! You're a life saver! You're a true saint! Merlin, I need a drink."
"I hope you mean a drink of water."
"Of course there's nothing wrong with flavorless chaser darling!"
Hermione giggled.
"My even your giggle is beautiful, I must be the luckiest guy to be accompanied by you today."
Hermione felt her cheeks go crimson.
"Thanks, we should…start heading out…soon."
"Alright let's go."
David scooped up Scoop in his arms and headed for the fireplace. He grabbed a handful of floo powder and yelled 'London' as clearly and loudly as he could, Hermione did the same. They ended up in a small sandwich shop where the wizard there told them to hurry along quickly.
They first visited the London eye. The waited 30 minutes in queue but it was all worth it. Scoop was amazed threw out it all until they got to Big Ben.
"I don't understand what's so special about a big clock auntie Mione."
"Well it's the structure sweetie it's really big and it got build by muggles."
"Oh, well alright then. I'm hungry."
David laughed at his nephew. The randomness and the innocence was just something he missed. He picked up his young and apparently hungry nephew.
"We'll let the lady pick where we eat, what do you say Scoop?"
"Sure, where would you like to eat aunt Mione?"
"Well how about we go get some Fish and Chips?"
"Sounds good."
The trio left for some food and quickly the two adults decided to rent some DVD's to show Scoop what muggle children used to entertain themselves.
They rented some children film along with some horror and comedy as well for later.
Halfway through his 4th movie Scoop fell asleep. With his mother's blessing's Scoop was tucked in to his own bed that Hermione had put in. Of course little James had one too, but Ginny wasn't too keen on letting him sleep over with her.
Right when she leaned down to kiss him on the cheek, Fred burst in the room.
"Hermione there is a man in our living room, why is there a man in the living room Hermione?"
Hermione pushed him out the door making a "Shh" sound.
"That's Pansy's cousin David, he's in town for their wedding renewals. Why are you here Fred?"
"I can't stand Angelina. She makes me want to puke. If my baby wasn't in her, I'd…well I'd be here with you. Hermione, I know this in unorthodox but can we still be friends? I don't want to put you in an uncomfortable situation, but I just need someone to talk to, to help me through all this. I just really can't stand that bloody woman anymore Hermione."
"Fred, I will never deny you my friendship. Just because what we had was short lived doesn't mean I have to ignore that you're still a good person. You can come over and talk, just as long as it doesn't bother Angelina."
"Why should she matter?"
"Because you want her pregnancy to be as less stressful as humanly possible because she's carrying your child, and because you don't want there to be anything wrong with your child caused by stress. Understand?"
"Yea, I do. Thanks Hermione. Well I guess I'll be on my way. Wouldn't want you to keep Mr. Super Stud waiting for too long."
"Fred, don't do that. Even if I was dating David you couldn't get mad Fred. I'm supposed to move on eventually. You have got to understand that."
"I understand I just don't like it."
He quickly swept her up and kissed her on the lips. As quick as he did that he left leaving Hermione stunned.
"I like him, He's got initiative. Very brave too."
Hermione looked down to the child that had just witnessed everything that happened. She picked him up and took him back to bed where she laid with him for a little bit.
"Oh, scoop. You sound like your father and his new employees."
"Well I did want him to be my uncle too. But I heard you tell mommy that wasn't going to happen.
"I'm sure he'll be more then happy if you call him Uncle Fred."
A single tear escaped Hermione's eye. It wasn't going to happen.
Well there it was! Chapter 7! I hope you all enjoyed it!
I'd really like some feedback. Some suggestions. Anything really.
I should have the new chapter up soon, God willing this writers block will soon fade.
