Getting the divorce papers was a lot easier then Harry thought it would be. He flooed back to his place to get cleaned up before going to see Hermione.
He was nervous as he showered. What if her feelings for him had changed? He couldn't blame her if they did. It had been eight months since they had said a word to each other. He had wanted to talk to her, sure, but every time he actually looked at her, his heart broke. He couldn't trust himself to be around her, so he always found an excuse to make a hasty exit.
Watching her marry Ron was hard for him to stomach. And then hearing today that the bastard on her, he wanted to kill Ron right then. And then Ginny. They both had cheated on us. Harry couldn't believe it.
"Dobby!" Harry called as he wrapped a towel around his lower half. Within second the elf appeared.
"Yes master Potter?"
"Go pick me up a big bouquet of fully bloomed white roses. And change the wards. Ginny is not allowed in this house, neither is Ron. Is that understood?"
"Yes master Potter, right away sir." Dobby said before popping away.
By the time Harry was done getting dressed, in an emerald green button down shirt and black jeans, Dobby was back handing him the roses.
"The wards are changed master Potter. Is there anything else the master needs?"
"No Dobby, go spend time with Winky, I'll call if I need something."

"Yes master Potter." Dobby said before exiting Harry's room.
Harry looked himself over in the mirror before sighing.
"Merlin I hope she doesn't hex my balls off." He said before turning on the spot and popping away.
Hermione looked around her old house. She had bought it a week ago and ever since then had been painting and redecorating. She bought all new furniture and took her parents old room for her own. They had decided to stay in Australia. Hermione walked into the master bathroom and took a shower, washing away the day's drama. After her shower she slipped into her knickers and a pair of booty shorts. She then slipped an old Quidditch jersey over her head with the number seven in gold on the maroon background.
Hermione made her way to her old bedroom which she had converted into a beautiful library. Bookshelves covered every wall except the wall with her window, which was painted a pale blue. She grabbed a muggle book from one of the many shelves and sat down in a plush chair.
She had been reading for about twenty minutes when she heard the crack of apparition followed by knocking.
"Oh I really hope George didn't tell Ron how to find me." She mumbled as she walked down her stairs to answer the door.
"Harry?" She said completely shocked. "What are you doing here?" Harry pulled the bouquet of roses from behind his back and watched her eyes light up at the sight of her favorite flowers.
"Can I come in?" Harry asked as Hermione gently took the flowers from his hands. She nodded and stepped aside letting him in. She shut the door behind him before walking around him and into the kitchen in search of a vase to put the roses in. Harry followed her and watched her fill the vase with water before adding the flowers.
"The roses are beautiful Harry, but what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Ginny and the new baby?" Hermione briefly saw anger flash in his emerald eyes.
"Ginny and I are getting a divorce."
"Harry Potter!" She scolded. "You cannot abandon your child like this!"
"I'm not, the baby isn't mine…but that jersey is." He said finally taking in her apparel.
"No it's not." Hermione said looking down at the jersey in question. "You gave it to me when I was living with you. But don't change the subject Harry. What do you mean the baby isn't yours?" Hermione said, her breath caught in her throat and her heart working overtime.
"She was cheating on me with Zabini. I don't remember giving that to you."
"My shirt ripped one night and you tossed me this one to wear. Then you told me to keep it because I looked good in your jersey, you were a bit drunk."
"Well that's still true." He said making his way to her, stopping when he was right in front of her.
"What, that you're a bit drunk?" She said looking up into his eyes.
"No, that you look bloody damn good in my jersey." Harry said before crashing his lips down on hers. Harry walked Hermione backwards until he had her pinned to the refrigerator. She gasped as her back hit the refrigerator door giving Harry the opportunity to slip his tongue in her mouth. The kiss was slow but passionate, each pouring all the love they hid from each other for the past 8 months into the kiss.
"I never wanted to write that letter."
"I wanted to stand up and object when you married Ginny."
"Seeing you marry Ron almost made me murderous."
"It hurt to see you with her."
"I wanted to grab you and kiss you every time I saw you."
"I've missed you so much."
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Hermione." Harry said pulling back, completely stopping the whole talk-kiss-talk-kiss thing they had going. He placed his hands on her cheeks and looked deep into her honey-brown eyes.
"If I could take it all back I would. I never stopped loving you, you never left my mind. I'm not sure what makes me madder, the fact that I was cheated on, or the fact that I lost so much time with you. Wait, no I know, the fact that I lost so much time with you definitely makes me madder." He said before kissing her again.
Hermione placed her hands on her chest and gently pushed him back. She looked deep into his eyes. They held so much love for her in their depths and a trace of fear at her most recent actions.
"Harry." She said placing her hand on his cheek. "I love you so very much." His eyes lit up and he tried to lean back in but she shook her head.
"What is it?" He asked confused.
"We are still married. Whether we are filing for divorces or not, this isn't right. Don't get me wrong, the second those papers are signed I plan to shag you until you can't walk, but we're not cheaters."
"You're right Mione, we aren't like them. I want you to know that the second you're done shagging me until I can't walk I'm going to marry you." Hermione smiled before shooing him out of the kitchen. She made them dinner, after which they laid together on the couch watching t.v. before falling asleep.
Hermione awoke to the tapping sound on her living room window. After removing Harry's arm from around her waist she got up and let Hedwig in. Hermione stuck her hand out and Hedwig dropped the rolled up Daily Prophet in it.
"You know she never did that for Ginny." Harry said petting his owl. "She'd always drop it on the floor before flying off." Hermione laughed as she unrolled the newspaper.
"Oh look, we're on the front page." She said walking over and sitting besides Harry before reading the article.
'SCANDALS IN THE GOLDEN COUPLES.' By Padma
"Yesterday St Mungo Hospital was not the site of spells gone horribly wrong but rather break-ups."
"Around 11am Mrs. Ginerva Potter went into labor. Mr. Harry Potter and almost the entire Weasley family showed up to check the young witch in. Mrs. Molly Weasley then left the Hospital to get Hermione and Ronald Weasley, the only two who didn't show up with the group. Molly and Hermione showed up at the Hospital without Ron, the two females immediately entered the waiting room."
"At 12pm, almost an hour after his baby sister's admittance into the Hospital, Ron stormed in. He dragged Hermione out of the waiting room and began yelling at her over divorce papers. Hermione caught Ron cheating on her with Lavender Brown and filed for divorce, Ron was not taking that very well. George Weasley proceeded to knock out his younger brother for being unfaithful to his wife. Hermione then gracefully left the Hospital and hasn't been seen since."
"George left his brother unconscious in the hallway while the broke the news to the rest of the family. This however was interrupted by a healer walking in to announce that Mrs. Potter was about to deliver. Mr. Potter followed the healer out of the waiting room and down the hall."
"The scandal doesn't end there unfortunately ladies and gentlemen. It seems that Mrs. Ginerva Potter gave birth to Blaise Zabini's baby, not Harry's."
"Harry was seen storming out of the Hospital with Fred and George Weasley in toe. Since then screams have been heard throughout St Mungo's."
"Molly and Arthur are very disappointed in their daughter. Fleur Weasley was heard scolding her sister-in-law for being a horrible wife to Harry Potter. And one Pansy Zabini made a scene by showing up and having a screaming match with the young red head. Fred Weasley also went off on the youngest Weasley before flooing to his brother Ronald's flat, where his brother George was going off on Ron for hurting the 'Golden Girl'. The twins left Ron tied up in his unlocked apartment to come give me this exclusive interview."
"Harry Potter was last seen at the Ministry filing for divorce yesterday. No-one knows where he has disappeared to."
"Before I end this article Fred and George would like to add a quick little note to Harry and Hermione where-ever they may be."
"We, and we mean everyone minus the two idiots we disowned, are sorry for the pain you two have had to go through because of this whole ordeal. Where ever you two are we hope you are happy. Whenever you two are ready to come back we'll be waiting because no matter what you two are family."
"Harry and Hermione, we at the Daily Prophet wish you the best of luck at finding happiness."
"Wow, looks like the press issue is settled." Hermione said rolling up the paper. She snuggled into Harry's side and together they stayed for the rest of their lives.
