Chapter Three

Telling Draco and Ginny the news

When Blaise and Hermione got upstairs they went their separate ways, Blaise to find Draco and Hermione to find Ginny. When Ginny say Hermione running up to her she looked scared not wanting to know what she was going to here.

"What is wrong Hermione you look terrified, please tell me."

"Well me and Blaise were in the library reading up on this book that he found well in the book, the book we found told about marriages that were supposed to happen, didn't happen, and kids our ages that are going to happen, and the ones our ages are done with a bond that we cannot get out of we have to marry the person. Well it says in the book, that you and Draco are supposed to marry ,and well when you marry it means the couple's best friends must marry as well. So in that case it means me and Blaise will have to marry as well as Pansy if she is alive. Since you don't have any other friends besides me that means one of you're family members has to marry her so Charlie has to marry her."

"Holy Shit that means I have to marry Draco, I mean there is no way I hardly know him, and you hardly know Blaise, and Charlie is so much older than Pansy, is there any way we can fix this?"

"Me and Blaise tried to find a way around it but there isn't as soon as it was signed by our families' years ago it was slated, to happen for good."

"I don't know what I am going to do Hermione I have to tell Charlie how are we going to deal with this Hermione we just lost everyone close to us and now we have to marry two boys we hardly know?"

"I don't know we will have to find out come on we have to go talk to Blaise and Draco by this time Blaise probably already told him."

Hermione and Ginny walked into the kitchen where the two boys were sitting, Blaise was sitting the chair with this head hanging down, and Draco was doing the same his hair hanging down in front of his eyes. As soon as they walked into the room it was like time had re-winded and all the anger that Ginny had for Draco came back into play.

"I know you're father did this to make me pay even more than he already had Malfoy, I know you knew about it I bet you thought it would be funny. Marry the girl whose family was killed by you're father."

"You are crazy Ginny I swear I had no idea about this and plus this book was made years before we were even born, trust me I wouldn't do that to you."

"Well forgive me if I don't seem to believe you at all I don't think you could change so easily I cant believe I was willing to forgive you I knew you were evil, you bastard."

With that said she walked over to Draco and punched him in the face screaming at him calling him every single name she could think of, finally Hermione went over and tried to pull Ginny off of him she got flung backwards flying onto her back. At this point Charlie came in with Tonks and someone wrapped in a back cloak. He saw what was going on and pulled Ginny off of Draco for a second time.

"Ginny stop it right now I know you probably just found out like I did but that is no reason to attack him I know he didn't know because nobody knew. Mom and dad didn't even know because their parents are the ones who signed the paper along with Draco's grandparents, even his parents didn't know. They have been doing it for years, they finally decided to make a bond since none of the marriages they made before panned out like they were supposed to. Trust me Gin Bug I know you are upset by this but it doesn't matter there is nothing you can do about it."

"I do not like this at all I cannot deal with this, oh my god I don't know why this is happening to me I didn't mean to attack him I just saw red when I saw him I thought it was his fault I know it wasn't but I wasn't thinking oh god Charlie what is wrong with me?"

"There is nothing wrong with you, you are just upset about our family dying trust me honey I know you didn't mean to attack him come on Ginny you should go lay down for a bit."

Ginny walked out of the room crying leaving Hermione, Blaise, Draco, and the black cloaked person standing in the room. Draco stood up and brushed himself off laughing.

"Well I guess I don't have to worry about the fire in the marriage going out she has enough fight in her for a lifetime. Hermione how come you didn't attack Blaise?"

"I know it wasn't his fault so I didn't fly off the handle like she did, don't worry Draco she will come around."

"I don't have any worries now for a more pressing matter, who the hell is in the black cloak."

As he said this everyone in the room looked over to the person in the black cloak.

"Take the cloak off please so we can see who you are."

"Now Draco is that any way to talk to one of you're best friends?"

Everyone gasped as the black cloak came off for the person under the cloak was none other than Pansy Parkinson, a little bruised and beaten up but the same Pansy the boys had grown up with.

"Oh my god Pansy me and Draco were so worried about you where have you been?"

"Blaise I am fine I was hiding after I got attacked and Charlie is the one who found me, and he told me about the marriage and I knew I had to come see my friends right away I was missing you guys really bad."

"So you are okay then and you don't have a problem with marrying a Weasley?"

"I am fine with it, because he is a fine catch, lets go sit down and I will tell you more about what happened."

The three former Slytherins and the lone Gryffindor went over to the kitchen table and sat down. Hermione looked kind of nervous it wasn't every day that she sat at a table with three people that up until yesterday didn't like her. When they sat down at the table is when Pansy started talking.

"Well okay here is everything that has happened since I last saw you. When you guys hid me I was so scared someone would find me that I started freaking myself out and I left the hiding spot to come and find you guys, but as I was leaving some Death Eaters came inside of the room and saw me. There was a fight and I got hurt but someone came and helped me out, it was actually Ron Weasley. He was walking somewhere and heard some noise and came inside and found me being beaten up by some Death Eaters so he saved me and killed them, but not before they could kill him. I am pretty sure it was Blaise and Draco's fathers who were trying to kill me. I am sorry Hermione I would have tried to save him but I was on the floor in pain."

"Its okay Pansy I don't blame you at least now I know he died saving someone else's life. Now how did you manage to get here?"

"Well I was laying there in pain when I heard someone calling out for Ron and as it turns out it was Charlie Weasley looking for his brother Ron, so I screamed and he heard me and came in and saw was had happened. So he brought me back to his apartment and nursed me back to health. He didn't know who I was until I told him, even then he still helped me right then and there I knew I would be save and nobody would hurt me. After I regained full health he brought me back here to see you guys and that's about it. He also told me about the marriage law, and I don't know it didn't seem to bother me that much, I knew that he was a good guy, and I knew he would make me feel save and never hurt me."

"You are right about that one Pansy, Charlie is a very nice guy and would never hurt anyone unless they hurt him first. As you could tell he is a very understanding person."

"Yes I could tell thank you Hermione man I mean when Charlie told me everyone who had died I was heartbroken I mean so many people who didn't need to die."

"Yea it was bad, but anyways we are trying to move past that, I mean I bet you anything the people who died wouldn't want us to live this way, they would want us to be happy and live life to the fullest so lets do just that."

"I agree Hermione but we can live to the fullest tomorrow when I am rested and I am not all beaten up from Ginny, so I bid everyone ado I am going to bed."

With that said Draco got up out of his seat and walked out of the room to head to his bed, for he was mentally and physically exhausted, Pansy soon followed after him to the room she was sharing with Charlie. Once again leaving Blaise and Hermione sitting there by themselves. They both sat there not knowing what to do because they had just found out they were to be married as well it was a little unsettling for them to swallow.

"Well Hermione I think I am going to turn in for the night I have a lot of thinking to do."
"I have some thinking to do as well so I think I will go to bed as well I will see you in the morning goodnight Blaise."

"Goodnight Hermione sleep well."

They both walked towards the stairs going different ways when they got to the top, both walking into their rooms thinking of the night's events.
