Thanks for the previous reviews, I got so happy that I reached 10 in one chapter I wanted to upload immediately for you guys.

Chapter 2- Misunderstanding

Hermione, Harry, and Blaise landed in the foyer of Pansy's mansion. "What are we doing at Pansy's place?" Blaise asked, taking in the familiar surroundings.

"We've been staying here for a bit, while I find a place for us to live." Hermione explained. "Knobby!" She called out, and with a pop a house elf appeared in front of them.

"Miss Minnie, welcome back, and with Master Blaise, and Master Harry. What can I help you with?" Aki asked, eager to assist.

"Have you seen Pansy?"

"She went out with the little miss. She tells me to tells you they'll be back soon."

"Okay thanks, Knobby" Hermione said and the elf disappeared the way it appeared.

"Little miss? Does this have to do with the person you wanted me to meet?" Blaise asked curiously.

"We have to wait for them to come back, and I'll tell you everything. How about some lunch?"

"Hermione, you've read my mind" Harry said, heading for the kitchen.

Oooo

Ara held on tightly to Draco's hand as the three reached the front of the line. She had felt an instant connection with him, and easily warmed up to him, all the shyness she felt earlier disappearing. "I'll have a strawberry. Draco what flavor would you like?" Pansy asked

"I'll have mint chocolate chip" Draco replied

Ara gasped. "That's mummy's favorite, too!"

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Really? And-"

"Uh, sweet pea, what would you like?" Pansy asked hurriedly, interrupting Draco.

"Cookie dough" the little girl exclaimed. Pansy ordered for the two, and three ice cream cones appeared in front of her. She handed Draco his, and Ara reached for hers. "I can hold my own, Auntie Pansy! Mummy says I'm a big girl, ya know."

Pansy sighed. This girl was so much like her mother, independent. "Alright, but you have to be very careful." She said, handing over her ice cream, and leading the two into a booth. Draco sat on one side, Ara eagerly sitting next to him. She sat across the two, having a clear view of both of them. She kept noticing that Draco would stare at the little girl and the wheels would turn in his head. They looked so similar; there was no mistaking it, Ara was a Malfoy. He's bound to figure it out soon. Should she let him figure it out? She watched Draco chuckle as he watched Ara bury her face into her ice cream, getting it all over herself. He grabbed a napkin, and gently wiped her face clean. He laughed and shook his head as she reburied her face in the ice cream. 'He needs to know. He needs to know she exists' Pansy thought.

Pansy apparated into Hermione's flat. She called out for her best friend, receiving no reply. She dropped her purse and coat on the couch of the living room, heading for the bedroom. She heard sobbing through the slightly ajar door. Fully opening it, she saw Hermione levitating her clothes to a suitcase that lay wide open on top of her bed. "Hermione?" Hermione's head snapped towards the door and Pansy saw tears flowing down her cheeks. Pansy reached her in time, catching her before she completely fell to the ground. "What's wrong? What's going on?" She asked.

"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. All this time, I trusted him, and he does this." Hermione sobbed

"Who?"

"Malfoy!"

"Draco?" Pansy gasped. "Sweetheart, what'd he do?"

"He's been cheating on me. I saw her, Ginny, come out of his bedroom. Her clothes were all messed up."

"T-there could be many reasons as to why-" Pansy stammered, not wanting to believe what she was hearing.

"He came out, right after her, only in a towel. He cheated on me, Pans"

"So you're leaving? Hermione, you can't!"

"I can't stay here. I just can't. I can't look at him, without it hurting. It hurts too much. I can I say I hate him all I want, but I don't."

"What about all your friends here? What about me, or Blaise, or Harry or Ron or Luna, or Lavender?"

"I'll keep in touch, I just need to get away. Just for a little while!"

"Mione-"

"There was something that I wanted to tell him" Hermione sniffled "That's why I went to the mansion. I had some news…I can't tell him now. He can't find out."

"What can he not find out?"

"I can't tell you, Pans. He can't find out"

Ooo

Pansy stared into the fireplace, replaying the night's events in her head. She didn't want to believe it. Draco would never do anything like that to Hermione, right? They were the perfect couple; this wasn't supposed to be happening. She jumped as heavy banging interrupted her thoughts. She hurriedly stood up to answer it. Throwing it open, she wasn't surprised to see Draco standing in front of her. Anger flared through her. "You" She hissed

"Pansy, Hermione's missing. I've looked everywhere. I can't find her."

"You arse, you bloody git, you have no fucking right to look for her." She screamed jamming her finger onto his chest.

"You've seen her? Where is she? You have to tell me" He said frantically, grabbing her shoulders.

She angrily pushed him away. "No! You bloody well stay away from her!"

"You can't tell me to stay away from my girlfriend!"

"You have no right! After, cheating on her, you have no right to-"

"I would never cheat on her!" Draco yelled

"Then why did she see that Weaselette whore coming out of your bedroom, huh and you coming out right after her in a freaking towel?"

"This is all part of her plan! She's trying to frame me. I was in the shower, and I come out, and she's on my bed naked. Nothing happened! I kicked her out, and I came out after her to make sure she actually reached the front door. Then, Hermione saw us, and she apparated away. I didn't even get a chance to explain." Draco explained and Pansy looked dumbfounded. "You know that I could never cheat on her, Pans. I love her too much."

"So this is all a misunderstanding?" She asked hopefully

"Yes!" He said agitatedly.

Pansy wrapped her arms around him in relief. "Oh Draco, I knew you would never cheat on Hermione. You guys are the perfect couple."

"Uh huh, sure, now tell me where she is, so we can sort this whole thing out."

Pansy recoiled back in realization. "She's gone"

"What?"

"Draco, she left" She whispered

"Where'd she go?"

"I-I don't know. She left without telling me where she was going. I let her go. I-I-" She stammered as she watched the man in front of her dejectedly fall onto his knees.

"Pans? Pansy? Hello?" Draco said trying to get her attention.

Pansy shook her head, shaking away the memory. "Sorry, got lost in my thoughts for a moment there."

"I'm guessing you didn't hear my question then. I asked you who Ara's parents were."

Pansy's spoon fell from her hand, landing with a loud clang on the table "P-parents?"
