Chapter 2

Hermione Granger walked into the wizard pub blocks away from where she lived with Ron. She rubbed her face trying to remove the feeling of that caused her to hide and cry for almost an hour. She took a seat by the bar and waited for the bar man. He came over in seconds.

"What can I get you miss" Said the bar man taking out a glass.

"Ill takes a fire whiskey, and you might as well bring the whole bottle" Said Hermione her voice strained.

"Bad day too huh, im sorry to brake it too you miss but he took the last bottle. My aid wont be here for a half an hour" Said the bar man motioning to the occupant of the seat next to her.

"Here" said the man leaning over and pouring him a generous amount. She looked at him. His familiar features buzzed her brain. She took the glass.

"Thank you" said Hermione taking a gulp of it." So you think your day's worst then mine"

"You have no idea" he replied turning to her. She stared at his deep grey eyes and his tousled blond hair. Her thoughts were interrupted as her name rolled from his mouth.

"No idea Granger".

Hermione stared at Malfoy before letting her self turn away. She gave a small laugh before taking a sip of her drink and speaking" Really Malfoy".

"Yes Granger, really, have you ever got your heart ripped from you" Draco said looking into the depths of his glass.

"Yeah" Said Hermione knowing exactly how it felt.

"What weasly say he doesn't love you" Said Malfoy sarcastically.

"No" Hermione paused then looked at him. "He cheated". Silence ripped through them. They both sat there for almost ten minutes in silence. Malfoy looked over at her and noticed the tears sliding down her cheeks.

"How did you find out" said Malfoy cautiously. For a minute he thought she was going to answer and that he had crossed the line." I'm sorry I didn't mean to snoop"

"I came home early today because I finished up my shifts at ST. Mungos. I was going to make dinner when I heard" Hermione stopped. Malfoy stared at her and nodded in under standing. "He was in bed with his secretary. He didn't even stop or come looking for me". Malfoy watched as Hermione wiped her tears from her face. "I should go" She said throwing down some money and jumping up. He made a split decision, In the matter of two seconds he threw down money and grabbed his cloak and ran after her. He grabbed her arm just as she was about to apparated.

They landed with an umph on the wooden floor of Hermione and Ron's apartment.

"What are you doing?" Hermione said looking down under her where he laid." why did you..."

"I figured that maybe, you ...." he stopped and helped her up before turning away. "So this is your place".

"Yeah" Hermione said looking at him." Malfoy you should go, I don't want you to get mixed up".

"Hermione" Ron's loud voice came from the hall way. He walked into view. "Hermione im...What's he doing here". Hermione didn't answer him. She looked up at Malfoy who was eyeing Ron with disgust. She looked over at Ron. His face was red and he had hickeys trailing his throat and a couple on his torso he had a scratch mark on his chest and more hickeys. Hermione felt sorry for herself for a second, she pitied him, then the blood in her body boiled with frustration. Ron seemed to notice along with Draco who had moved back.

"Why is he here" Said Hermione venom dripping from her voice." Why Linda was here or Sophie or Anne, huh, im sick and tired of you cheating Ronald, im tired of your bloody fucking excuses" Hermione let a tear fall and released her breath and looked away.

Ron approached her and gripped her arms. "I know im sorry and I can explain I really can. Just listen" He said pulling her closer to him. Hermione looked up at him her face blank. She pushed him away and he stumbled back.

"No Ronald you listen, were done" Hermione said turning away from him a heading toward the bedroom. He walked behind her closing the door behind him. Hermione reached for the closet door and pulled out her suit case.

"Hermione your making a mistake" Said Ron grabbing her forcing her too looks at him. Hermione spit in his face and turned back to her suit case zipping it open. Next thing she knew she was pinned to the bed struggling underneath Ron.

"Get off me" Said Hermione kicking her feet trying to get im off.

"No you're not leaving me Hermione, ive done so much for you, im not letting you ruin this" He said. Hermione looked up at him and calmed down." see your taking this the wrong way.

"Your right " Said Hermione looking up at him. She sat up and watched a grin spread across his face. She turned from him and looked at the unmade bed and spotted a Lacey garment tucked underneath a pillow. She pushed Ron out of her way and stood. Her hand acted on its own it. A balled up hand swung toward Rons face. He stumbled clutching his nose.

"What the fuck Hermione" He said looking at her.

She was fuming with anger tempted to strike again. Ron lunged for her reaching for her arms pulling her towards the floor knocking over the lamp on the night stand causing it to shatter. He attempted to pin her to the floor striking her in the face. Hermione gasped and with a swift kick to the area between his legs he keeled over. Hermione got up and looked at him whimpering on the ground she turned to get her suit case and felt something grab her ankle catching her off guard. She slipped and fell and aimed a quick kick at his face. He howled and let go. He made another attempt but a boot came stomping down on his hand breaking a couple of his figures. And then another kick came to his ribs, causing him to ball up. Hermione looked up at Malfoy who was offering her his hand. She took it and stood.

She quickly packed her things into her suit case her adrenaline rushing. She tried not to forget anything as she looked around the room. She opened up a draw and was shocked to see pictures of Ron and lots of women half naked in skimpy bikinis. She flicked through the pictures and came upon one of her birthday with Ron kissing her cousin. She threw the photos on the floor in front of Ron before hauling her suit cases up. Malfoy helped her with her bags and through floo powder in the fire place. She looked at the green flames ad up at the pictures on the fire place. She took the ones with Ron in it and dropped them into the fire place before stepping into it with her bags. The flames engulfed her without a word to Malfoy who stood there staring at her. He stood there watching the picture shrivel up and burn.

"Your stronger then I thought Hermione" He whispered before disappearing on the spot.
