Chapter Two: Bust the windows of your car

"I bust the windows out your car, you know I did it, cause I left my mark. Wrote my initials with the crowbar and then I drove off into the dark. I bust the windows out your car, Hey, you should be lucky that that's all I did, after five whole years of this bullshit, gave you all of me, and you played with it..." (Bust the windows of your car by Glee)

Hermione ran towards the lift and pressed the down button repeatedly; when the doors opened she yanked the railings forcefully and waited for the doors to close. When it started to descend she moved to the corner and leaned back on the wall; she rubbed her face with her palms furiously as she let out a groan. "I'm so stupid...very stupid..." she told herself over and over. When the door opened she bolted out the elevator and paced towards the Atrium; she padded towards the floo network when she heard a distinct voice calling her name.

"Hermione!"

Hermione bit her lower lip as she stopped in her tracks; she sniffed and hastily wiped her face free from tears.

"Hermione!"

She then took a deep calming breath and pasted a smile on her face; "Ginny..." she greeted.

Ginny threw herself at her best friend and hugged her tightly; "It's been months! I missed you!" she gushed excitedly. She then pulled away with a huge smile and grasped Hermione's arms; "How have you-why is your face is blotchy and your eyes are swollen?" she suddenly asked with a frown.

Hermione pulled away and patted Ginny's hand; "I'm just tired. I missed you too" she replied with a weary smile.

All traces of humour instantly left Ginny's face as she studies her best friend's expression; "Something's wrong with you..." she said seriously.

Hermione's felt her chin wobble so she bit her lower lip to control her emotions; "I'm fine Gin, I'm just feeling a little bit under the weather, don't mind me" she answered nervously.

Ginny shook her head; "I know you Hun, tell me what happened..." she insisted.

Hermione was about to speak when she saw a familiar ginger haired man exiting the lift; her heart jerked with pain as memories of his conversation flooded her mind. She felt her whole body stiffen as her lungs began to burn with loss of oxygen; she grasped Ginny's hand in panic as tears run down her pale cheeks. Dark spots began dancing right in front of her eyes so she decided to bow down to take a breather; it was a wrong move, because instantly her knees buckled and she fell on the ground, unconscious.

"Hermione!" Ginny screamed in horror.

oOo

St. Mungos

"What the hell happened?"

Ginny's head snapped towards the door; "Harry!" she exclaimed.

Harry walked towards the red haired woman and stood beside the bed; he studied his best friend's face and turned towards Ginny; "Gin, what happened?" he asked.

"I really don't know. We were talking for a couple of minutes and then she collapsed..." Ginny explained worriedly.

Harry sighed and sat at the foot of the bed.

"Do you know if she has any problems? Because when I saw her this afternoon, her face was blotchy and her eyes we're swollen" Ginny asked.

"I also don't know. We just had lunch earlier and everything seems to be alright..." Harry replied. He then surveyed the surroundings and frowned; "Where's your brother? He's supposed to be here" he said.

Ginny rolled her eyes and crossed her arms on top of her chest; "I don't know where that prick is! I already sent him an owl hours ago and he's still not here!" she replied.

Harry stood up and began pacing back and forth; he then threw Hermione a look and stared at Ginny. "Can we step out for just a minute? I need to tell you something" he said.

Ginny frowned and stood up; "Sure, what's this about?" she asked.

Harry padded towards the door and pulled it open; "After you," he said.

Ginny stepped out and waited for Harry.

Harry stepped out as well and closed the door behind him; "Do you want to grab some coffee?" he asked.

Ginny nodded; "Let's go..." she replied.

Harry led her towards the cafeteria and asked her to find them a table; he then proceeded to the counter and asked for two cups of cappuccino.

Ginny searched for a table and saw a vacant one near the windows; she padded towards it and pulled a chair. She then sat down and waited for Harry.

Harry walked towards Ginny, carrying two cups of coffee; upon reaching the table, he placed the first cup right in front of her and sat down.

Ginny pulled the cup closer to her and began stirring; "So, what's this about?" she asked.

Harry took a sip from his cup and sighed; "I think Ron is having an affair" he said bluntly.

Ginny stopped stirring and frowned; "What do you mean he's having an affair?" she asked.

Harry leaned back on his chair and eyed his best friend's sister; "It's not yet confirmed but I will find out" he answered.

Ginny averted his gaze and lowered her eyes on the table; "How can he do this to Hermione again? I mean, their engaged!" she said.

"I know. I already spoke with him this afternoon, I already told him that if he's cheating he should stop now because if I ever caught wind of what he's doing, best friend or not, I will decapitate him" Harry said.

Ginny huffed; "You're too kind Harry, if it was me, I'll threaten to murder him" she said.

Harry smiled; "Still fiery, aye?" he teased.

Ginny laughed and began stirring her coffee again; "That won't change. By the way, how's Astoria and Candice?" she asked.

"She took Candice to Daphne's because won't stop bugging us for a week that's why Astoria gave in" Harry replied.

Ginny chuckled; "Candice is a bit handful if she wants to, I guess she got that from Daphne's side" she said.

Harry smirked; "Now, don't let Daphne hear you" he said. He then leaned forward and took another sip of his coffee; "How's Anthony?" he asked.

Ginny beamed; "He's doing fine. He's out of the country as of the moment, some Healer conference" she replied.

Harry nodded; "You two are good together, you're both jet setters. We hardly see you around" he complained.

Ginny chuckled; "We love exploring other countries Harry, you should try it with Torry" she suggested.

Harry thought for a couple of seconds and smiled; "That's a brilliant idea, I will make plans for our next anniversary" he said thoughtfully.

Ginny eyed him a couple of minutes and smiled sincerely; "I'm really glad that you're happy Harry..." she said.

Harry smiled back; "I'm glad you are too" he replied.

oOo

Hermione opened her eyes slowly and studied her surroundings; she then sat up from her bed and groaned.

"You're awake"

Hermione turned to face the door and let out another groan; "Please tell me I didn't collapse in the middle of the Atrium?" she asked wearily.

Draco smirked and padded towards the bed; "I didn't know I had that affect on you Granger. If I knew you'd faint like that, I should've avoided you" he teased.

Hermione leaned back on the headboard and chuckled; "You wish" she replied.

Draco moved closer and fished out his pen-light from his pocket; "I know you fainted from seeing me but please contain yourself because I need to touch you" he joked.

Hermione rolled her eyes and pouted; "Of all the Healers in St. Mungo's, I end up with you" she murmured.

Draco feigned shock and placed his hands on top of his chest; "You hurt my feelings Granger, I happen to be on duty for your information" he replied. "Now be a good girl and move closer so I can check you properly" he added.

Hermione sighed and moved towards him; she pulled the blanket off her body and sat sideways of the bed, facing Draco. "Better?" she asked.

Draco smirked and clicked his pen-light open; he gently cupped her chin and raised it upwards. He pointed his pen light towards her eyes and studied her pupils; "Do you still feel faint?" he asked as he switched off the light.

Hermione shook her head; "No" she replied.

Draco then took the chart notes from the footboard of the bed and began scanning it; "You're vitals are good and your blood pressure is normal. Have you been under stress lately?" he asked.

Hermione swallowed hard and felt her palms sweating; "N—nooo" she replied.

Draco stopped looking at the chart notes and studied her face; "Okay...well, if that's the case then you can leave as soon as you're feeling up to it" he said.

Hermione nodded.

Draco then proceeded to walk towards the door; he was about to pull it open when he stopped. "Granger?" he said.

Hermione's head snapped towards him; "Yes?" she asked.

Draco grabbed the knob but he turned his head to face his patient; "Whatever your problem is, I know you'll get through it. You're not the brightest witch of our age for nothing. Keep your head held high" he said. He then pulled the door open and stepped outside, leaving her dumbfounded.

Hermione felt tears clouding up her eyes as she clutched her hands together; she then took a deep calming breath and sniffed. "You are right Malfoy, I will keep my head held high but I won't let this go easily, Ron Weasley will be sorry" she said.

oOo

At the Nurses Station:

"Please change Mr. Robinson's potion to the new one I just brewed and don't forget to take it to him in time okay?" Draco instructed the nurse standing right in front of him.

"Draco?"

Draco turned and let out a huge smile; "Hey, hey, hey Mrs. Goldstein, it's nice to see you" he greeted. He then turned towards the nurse he's talking to and nodded; "That's all Katie, thanks!" he said.

Ginny laughed; "I'm not Mrs. Goldstein yet, he hasn't put a ring on it" she replied.

Draco walked closer to his friend and smiled; "I'm sure he will, just give it time" he assured her.

"If he doesn't then I'll put a ring on his" Ginny said while winking.

Draco laughed loudly.

"Err...Malfoy, are you Hermione's Healer?" Harry asked.

"Potter I didn't see you there, as a matter of fact, I am" Draco replied.

"How is she? Is she alright? Can she go home?" Harry asked.

"Slow down there, yes, she is alright and she can go home. Everything seems to be normal, but, do you know if she's under any stress? It's not normal for a person to collapse when everything is average you know" Draco said.

Harry cleared his throat; "I'm not sure, but we'll talk to her. Can we go to her room? Is she awake?" he asked.

"She's already awake, you can take her home now" Draco said.

"Thank you" Harry said. He then turned towards his other friend; "Gin?" he asked.

Ginny smiled at Draco; "It was nice seeing you Draco, I'll tell Anthony that you said Hi" she said.

"You do that, it was nice seeing you too" Draco replied.

Ginny smiled again and pulled Harry towards the lift; "Let's go see Hermione" she said.

Harry followed.

oOo

"I'm already here, let's get this over with. I still need to go to St. Mungo's" Ron said irritably.

Millicent wiped her face with stray tears as she stared at the man standing in her living room; "So that's it? You want to finish this because she already knows? What do you think I am? A slag that opens's her legs for any man willing?" she shrieked.

Ron rolled his eyes and huffed; "Come on, Millie! We both know from the start that this will not last because I'm getting married" he said.

Millicent sobbed and buried her face into her palms.

Ron eyed her for couple of seconds and sighed; he walked towards his lover and kneeled right in front of her. "Please don't make this harder that it needs to be..." he whispered.

Millicent cried harder; "How-how can you say that? Do I mean so little to you?" she asked.

"You are special to me Millie; it's just that I love Hermione and I can't leave her..." Ron explained.

"Love?" Millicent laughed bitterly. "How can you tell me you love her when your fucking me every chance you get? Wake up Ron, you don't love her! Because if you do we wouldn't be in this situation! You don't know how to love Ronald Weasley!" she added harshly.

Ron hastily stood up and felt his face redden with anger; "Stop being a bitch!" he hissed.

Millicent stood up and wiped her face angrily; "Get out of my house" she said coldly.

Ron frowned; "With pleasure" he hissed. He angrily padded the door and slammed it shut when he stepped out.

Millicent grabbed the closest vase and threw it on the door; "You will be pay you stupid weasel! Even if it's the last thing I'd do!" she shrieked.

oOo

Harry knocked and called out his best friend's name; "Hermione?"

Ginny threw Harry and questioning look and frowned; she moved closer towards the door and pushed it open. She peaked inside and felt her heart felt into her stomach; "She's gone" she said.

Harry pushed the door wider and padded inside; he walked towards the loo and knocked. "Mione are you there?" he asked. When he received no response, he pulled the door open and peered inside. "She's not here as well" he said.

Ginny collapsed on the couch and groaned; "I will murder Ronald" she said seriously.

"Let's go check if she went home" Harry suggested.

Ginny stood up and sighed; "I hope she's there" she said.

oOo

Hermione sat on a wooden bench, in the park near her house; she stared at the couples walking and felt her eyes heating up with tears for the millionth time. She sniffed and clutched her hands into tight fists; she felt her engagement ring weighing her left hand so she wrenched it away. She stared at the offending diamond ring and suddenly her tears gave away.

**Flashback**

"Ron, what are we doing here? It's midnight and I'm cold" Hermione complained.

Ron chuckled and sat on the wooden bench; "Nothing love, just needed some air..." he said nonchalantly.

Hermione glared; "You want air? We have lots of air outside my cottage!" she huffed while rubbing her arms back and forth.

Ron rolled his eyes and ignored her complaints; "Isn't it a lovely night?" he asked.

Hermione studied her surroundings and let out sigh of defeat; "It is" she relented.

Ron eyed her for a couple of minutes and smiled; he then fished out a small velvet box inside his coat and kneeled unceremoniously on the ground.

Hermione felt her heart thud wildly as she stared wide eyed at her beau; she then felt her eyes moisten with tears as her hands fell limply at her side. "Ron..." she whispered.

Ron cleared his throat nervously and raised his open hand towards her; "Hermione, love, I'm not good with words, I love you, please marry me?" he asked lamely.

Hermione felt a pang of disappointment with his proposal but let him off the hook; she smiled widely and fell on her knees as well. She wrapped her arms around her long time best friend and whispered. "Yes, I will marry you"

**End of Flashback**

"Stupid, stupid, stupid! Even his proposal sucks!" Hermione whispered to herself. She then clutched the ring tightly in her fist as she stood up; she then paced back and forth angrily. "How can you do this to me! I've been loyal to you, you bastard! You'll see! You don't get to mess with Hermione Granger and get away with it!" she hissed. She then slumped on the wooden bench and thought hard; she ran random ideas inside her head and after a couple of minutes she smiled, she know now what to do.

oOo

Ron stormed inside of St. Mungo's with a frantic look in his eyes; he paced towards the front desk and braised his hands on the desk. "Where is my fiancé? Where is Hermione Granger?" he asked.

The witch at the front desk was taken aback with his panic-stricken face and began riffling thru the parchments; "She's in room 301-B but-"

Ron did not let the witch finish her sentence and ran towards the stairs, not catching the last sentence.

"-she already checked out..." The witch trailed off.

Ron reached the floor and began searching for the right room, he turned to the next corner and immediately bumped into someone.

"Bloody Buggering Hell! Watch where you're going!"

Ron steadied his bearings and instantly felt relief when he recognized who he bumped into. "Ginny! Where is Hermione?" he asked.

Ginny snapped her heads towards the man she bumped into and felt rage seeped into her veins; "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I HAVE OWLED YOU A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO BECAUSE YOUR FIANCE FAINTED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES! AND DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE AT WORK BECAUSE I CHECKED YOUR OFFICE AFTER THEY CARTED HERMIONE HERE!" she shouted.

Ron's eyes bulged as he felt heat creep into his neck; "CALM DOWN GINEVRA!" he shouted back.

Ginny moved closer and pushed him; "DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" she asked.

Ron took a deep calming breath and took a step back; "I was out on duty. We have received some complaints about some store in Knockturn Alley that's why I headed there, alright. Now, please tell me where my fiancé is" he replied.

Ginny eyed him for a couple of minutes and huffed disbelievingly; "I didn't know your work is more important than your soon-to-be-wife!" she hissed.

Ron groaned exasperatedly.

Ginny threw him a dirty look and began walking away, leaving him without any answer.

Ron clenched his fist as he watches his sister fading back.

"She's not here"

Ron's head snapped towards the voice and felt his body stiffen; "Harry...where is she?" he asked.

Harry walked towards his best friend and stood right in front of him; "She already left so I suggest you find here because we don't know where she went" he said coldly.

"But why did she leave? What-"

"If ever find out that your indiscretion has something to do with her fainting spells" Harry cut Ron's questions' off and let his statement hanging. He then fixed his glasses and walked away.

Ron felt his knees buckle so he slumped on the nearest bench; he buried his face into his palms and let out a loud groan. "Bloody hell!"

oOo

Hermione appeared in a dark alley and began studying the neighbourhood; she then let out sly smile when she noticed that no one is around. She then walked casually towards her ex-fiancé's parked car and grasped her wand tightly in her wand hand. She stopped beside the passenger door and ran her fingers on it; "I'm sorry baby but your owner is a scumbag. I know you can still be fixed but I just have to do this to make me feel vindicated" she said. She then peered inside the window and frowned; she pointed her wand at the door and muttered "Allohamora". She pulled the door open and sat on the passenger seat; she bent towards the glove compartment and fished out the paper that's stuck in between. She read the fine prints and felt her heart drop into her stomach; "The Savoy?! He checked in last week? That son of a bitch!" she muttered angrily as tears cloud her eyes. Placing the receipt on her lap, she took out her engagement ring from her coat pocket and pointed her wand at it; she whispered "Ferrum Vectis". She stepped outside the car and slammed the door shut. She casted a "Muffilato" charm and weighed the crowbar in her hands; anger flared inside her chest as she lifted the heavy metal bar and smashed it hard on the windshield, creating a hug crack across. She lifted the crowbar again and slammed it repeatedly on the broken panel. Shards of glass were flying in every direction as tears pour down her pale cheeks. She paused for a couple of minutes and moved towards the front of the car; she heaved the crow bar against the smooth hood and engraved her initials with it. Once satisfied she placed the metal bar on top of it and yanked her wand from her pocket; she flicked her wand once, transfiguring the crowbar back into her engagement ring. She then pointed her wand towards the car and accioed the receipt she found. The frilly paper flew straight from the broken windshield and landed gracefully on her waiting hands. She then casted the strongest sticking charm on both paper and ring and stuck it on top of the hood. She studied it for a couple of seconds and took a deep breath; she wiped tear-stain checks with the back of her hand and took a step back. She glared at the offending items again and flicked her wand; dissaparating with a loud crack.

oOo

Theo opened his front door and studied the weasel's ruined car; he whistled loudly and braised his hands on his waist. "I didn't think you had it in you Granger, you put a shame to the saying, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" he mused. He took out his phone and snapped a quick picture, he chuckled to himself as he padded inside his house.

oOo

A/N: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned it is! Please R&R, cheers!
