Hello my lovely readers. I hope you're all doing good today erm night. Whatever. Anyways here the chapter. Sorry it's short.
Draco got up and got dressed. After he and Hermione had eaten they went outside onto the grounds.
"OK, so basically due to the security system we have to go outside the gates before we can apparate. They are going to be hitting us with tons of questions. Are you sure you're ready? Or do you want to take the floo? I'm good with anything I just want to make sure-"
"Draco, yes I still want to apparate. People need to see me. And I don't want to break any furniture. Have the Weasleys been ignored or is their house surrounded too?"
"They've basically been ignored. And OK." They got to the front gate. Draco grabbed her hand. "Positive?"
"Yes. Now open the damn gate." Hermione said bracing herself.
Draco muttered a password and the gates opened. The surprised reporters saw this and quickly rushed at them. They left the safety of the grounds into the crowd. The gates closed and there was no turning back.
"Ms. Granger, is it true you were drunk when he found you?""Where have you been the past four years?""Why are you staying with your childhood enemy who was accused for your murder?"
Draco and Hermione ignored the questions. He apparated them to in front of the Burrow.
"Geez, they were loud huh?" Hermione said, picking some loose grass from her hair.
"Yeah, let's go." Draco said grabbing her hand. They went up to the door. Draco knocked. A female could be heard saying 'coming.'. Hermione pushed the butterflies down as Ginny opened the door. She had an apron on that was covered in flour and it looked as if she had tried to hide a mark on her neck.
"Hermione!" She yelled once she realized who was in front of her. She quickly latched onto Hermione, who did the same. Ginny started crying softly.
"I'm sooooooo sorry. If I could turn back time I would do it!" Ginny said. "I had just heard from him, that's what we had been arguing about. I would've told you but I didn't have time and-"
"Gin, calm down. It's all right. And for changing back time, I wouldn't." Hermione said. She leaned back from Ginny a bit. "While I didn't exactly have a good few years I wouldn't change a thing. If it wouldn't have happened I might have been with a cheating Ron and not happy with Draco."
"Oh? Well maybe we can have a double wedding eventually." Ginny teased. "I know it's sudden but want to go see your old room? Ron and Lavender said they have plans today." Hermione agreed.
Ginny lead Hermione and Draco up to Hermione's old room. The door was closed so Ginny opened it. Hermione's jaw dropped when she looked inside.
"So I finally come back and you decide to pack up all my stuff?" Hermione said pointedly. Ginny looked into the room confused and saw Ron, putting Hermione's old things into boxes. Everything was basically put away. Ginny went red with anger.
"Ron how could you?" Ginny yelled. Ron put his hands up in a defense position.
"Since she's back I figured I could pack up her stuff. Besides we need a room for the kids. Lavender's having twins!" Ron said excitedly. Draco stormed in with his wand up. Draco put the wand to Ron's throat as he backed up. When Ron's back hit the wall you could visibly see his fear.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hex you into oblivion. You hear of her coming back, then you clear the-sorry HER room, for the things that sent her away in the first place." Draco growled out.
"Hey, don't call my kids things!" Ron snapped. Draco pushed the wand against his throat a bit harder to silence him.
"They aren't even yours! Haven't you noticed how 'your' son doesn't look anything like you?" Draco said. Ron got surprisingly quiet. "Oh look who was right, me. Now, you're going to apologize to Hermione before I do something your sister doesn't deserve to see."
Ron looked at Hermione. He looked into her eye. Draco backed away from Ron so that he could fully see Hermione.
"I'm sorry you came back." Ron said. "Everything was fine the way it was. You didn't deserve all the media attention you got. You ran away from your hurt feelings. Boo-fucking-hoo. Thousands were spent on trying to find you. And then you come back from the gutter just as everyone gets use to it. I now know why you have the scar on your arm."
"What are you saying, Ron?" Hermione growled. Draco was thinking of all the horrible hexs he could say in 3 seconds. But nobody expected what Ron said next.
"All you are is a dirty, little, mudblood. Causing all the trouble just for the attention. You're not a mudblood for being muggle-born. But for all the attention you've gotten cause you ran away from your little problems. Now get out of my house before I have to grab a mop."
The room got silent. Draco was frozen with anger. Ginny was in shock and Hermione's expression unreadable. A creek was heard from the hallway, Mrs. Weasley appeared at the door.
"Ronald. I know you never liked all the attention that she got. But I will not have that word spoken in my house. You are to be off the property in an hour. I didn't think I'd have to kick anyone off after Harry. But you have brought me to the extreme. We shall talk on a later date and see if you can come back." She said. Ron left in shock. His mother behind him in a disappointed matter.
"Wow. I didn't want to break up a family." Hermione whispered. Ginny sighed.
"It's not your fault. After what Harry did she's been strict. That's why I had to cover up, to avoid getting kicked out." Ginny said wiping at her neck. A bite mark was easily visible.
"Well you and Blaise got a little rough eh?" Draco said smirking. Ginny blushed.
"Not my fault. You know how he get's." She said.
"Actually no, I wouldn't. I say that proudly." Draco said. "On another note, what's wrong Mione?" After a minute she spoke.
"Well, call me a bit uninformed. But what did Harry do?"
Yeah. You know that whole, 'The war has changed people' thing? Well that's the case here. Can you tell Ron's bitter about little attention? Now PLEASE REVIEW! I really need it to encourage me to write more. I don't want to do with this story what I did with my other, which was not updating until I got so many reviews.
Also sorry this update is kind of late. And they might be scattered for the rest of the story, not extremely but more so. Why? Well I only had four chapters pre-written and the next one is the one I'm stuck on. So it might be a little while, but reviews will help me realize you guys are reading.
Please rate and review! :)
