The Trouble With Weddings
A Harry Potter Fan Fiction Story
Chapter 37:
Ginny and I both sat on the wet ground as the rain came pouring down on us both. We were both soaked head to toe, and neither of us cared. I didn't seem to care about anything except how I felt. I just stayed there crying into Ginny, and she tried to comfort me.
" I can't believe this is happening to me again" I sobbed harder into her shoulder. " He's really gone!"
" Shhh… It's ok" She held me tight. " I'm here, but I don't understand what happened?"
" I screwed it up again… just like I did with Ron" I tried to gasp for breath. " Gin, It's all my fault I really loved him, and I ruined it" I was wheezing so hard I thought I was going ot have a panic attack. She began rubbing my back to get me to calm down and it was just making it worse.
" 'Mione, your going to make yourself sick, try to calm down!" Ginny said panicking. I couldn't say anything else, I just let my emotions pour out literally.
We must have been outside for a while because Blaise came out side looking for his wife. He saw us sitting in the pouring rain, and Ginny trying to comfort me. He ran straight over to us.
" What happened?" He asked concerned.
" It's Draco, He's left and I think Hermione's heart is breaking" They looked at each other as if they could both read each others mind, and knew exactly what to do. Blaise touched my shoulder, and I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face.
" Hermione What happened?" I was so sick of being asked what happened. I didn't want to relive the pain again, because I was still going through it over and over again. It's like my heart was ripped out of my chest and some one keeps hitting rewind and freezing right on that moment. I was getting literally hysterical. Ginny looked worried.
" Blaise what are we going to do? I don't know what happened between them two, but I cant bear to see her like this" Ginny began to tear u pas well.
" I think I might know something" He pulled out his wand from his back pocket and muttered a spell under his breath. I immediately got knocked unconscious, and went limp in gunny's arms. Ginny looked at Blaise and sighed.
" Of course why didn't I think about that?"
" You would have if you weren't so worried about your best friend." She looked down at me. " It's just a simple sleeping spell. She needs to sleep it off, she'' be alright in about 8 hours or so" Blaise bent down and picked me up off of Ginny and apparated me back to the cottage to sleep in my bed, and then back to the reception with out any one noticing.
Ginny had cast a instant drying spell on herself and went back inside with her friends and family. Blaise returned with in an instant.
" She got back safe and sound" He whispered in Ginny's ear and she just nodded knowing that she was still worried about me the rest of the night.
As soon as I drifted off to sleep it's like the memories came flooding back to me, and as I slept I tossed and turned.
I woke up in a sweat and tears rolling down my cheeks. I looked over at my clock and it was nearly 5:00 am. I felt groggy and I realized that it wasn't all a dream I really did fall in love and get my heart broken by Draco Malfoy. I hated him so much, all those years in school of torture and torment from him, but he changed ,and I forgave him. I saw he was a better person, I saw the real Draco for the first time, and I fell hard. It may have started out as a way for me to make Ron jealous, and get my mind off of how I felt, but some where along the way I wasn't pretending any more , I was really making Ron jealous because I didn't have to pretend to be in love with Draco I was, and I thought he was in love with me, wasn't he? I mean if you really loved some one why should it just wand like that. It felt like it had just started. It wasn't fair, that we finally realized we were so perfect for each other and then it was over. I closed my eyes and I saw his face again. My eyes filled up with tears and I began to bawl again into my hands.
I didn't want to sleep anymore, I wanted to clear my mind. I put on my sneakers and sweat suit on. I walked out side to realize it was still raining. I didn't care, it wasn't going to stop me from running.
I ran down the path that had become so familiar to me these past weeks. I let the rain and wind hit my face as I just ran and tried to clear my head ,but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake him from my mind. I thought if I focused on the running nothing else would pop in.
' left , right, left , right…' I focused on the scenery. I looked around and felt lonely. I had grown used to running with Draco every morning. I didn't even ask him to run with me, it was just something he started doing. He started to running with me, and we would watch the sunrise together. I had never really ran with any one else before it was always something that I had done on my own to escape, now it just felt empty and painful. I whined and focused on the run. I ran faster, and remembered how his lips tasted, and how warm his touch was. I ran faster, and groaned. I was coming to the end of the path to the beach. I closed my eyes for just a minute and tripped and fell face first in the sand. As I hit, I ignored the pain, but started to cry again and just laid there in the sand. I looked up and noticed the sun was starting to rise, and I saw it there right in front of me when I looked up, the light house. I forced my self up and ran over to the lighthouse and walked all the way up to the top, and watched the sunrise from inside. This place had so many memories, it only made me want to cry more, but I didn't I just stared out the window. I took a deep breath and as soon as it rose I walked back to the cottage.
Ginny and Blaise had made it back late last night. They didn't want to disturb me so they just went right to bed. As soon as Ginny awoke around 7:00am she got up and made some coffee and decided it was exactly what I needed, so she walked up to my room with a coffee cup. She walked up to my door, and knocked.
" It's open" I said loud enough for her to hear. She creaked the door open and stood in the door way and gasped when she saw me. I was in a light blue V neck tee shirt and black cargo pants. I had my hair in a bun, and was packing my bags. I had decided I needed to get out of here and get back to work. I need to get everything off of my mind as soon as I could.
" What's this?" She asked looking at me frantically packing. I looked up and forced a smile.
" I'm packing to go home, You two have your honeymoon, and I should be getting out of your hair." She walked over to me and bit her lip, I knew she was fighting with her self to ask me about last night.
" You don't have to leave yet , you know? Your welcome to stay as long as you like, and don't even think that you will be in our way, because you wont be!" I stopped packing for a moment and looked at her. She really looked worried.
" Gin, I love you, you know that right?" She nodded frantically and pulled me in for a big hug, nearly spilling coffee down my back.
" I know I love you too Hermione, and if you want to talk about.." I looked u pat her instantly and got a cold expression
" I don't" I said quickly, " Not right now" Ginny nodded, she wasn't going to pry, even though she really wanted to.
" Call me when you get back?" I nodded.
" I promise" This time I gave her a hug. " I'm sorry Gin"
" You have nothing to be sorry for" I sighed and shrunk my bags and stuck them in my pocket.
" Say goodbye to Blaise for me … Mrs. Zabini!" I smiled before I apparated back to Hogwarts.
