Chapter 29: Physical & Emotional Pain

Info you need to know: "Talking"

~ Prefect Common Room Just After Hermione & Ron Left ~

Draco watched them go, silently cursing at Ron. He was up to something he could tell and Hermione was too good of a person to notice. But he wasn't. He didn't trust Weasley one bit and he wanted with all his might for Hermione to stay with him but she was so damn trusting and so damn cute that he couldn't say no to her and so he let her go.

The door took longer to close than Draco thought it would. Then he noticed that Pansy was coming in and he scowled at her. She merely smiled at him and sat down on the sofa next to him. He shuffled as far away from her as she could. A look of hurt flashed across her face before she quickly recomposed herself and smiled once more at Draco. Whom wanted to gag.

He ignored Pansy though and stared at the door. He hoped they wouldn't be too long. He missed Hermione already, that sounds cheesy believe him he knows. He wasn't that pathetic, he could handle Hermione being away from him for more than five minutes. Just not when he knew she was with Weasley.

A few minutes later he was scowling. What was taking them so long? What the hell could they be talking about? He told himself he would wait a few more minutes and then go and check if she was alright. After all this was Weasley, he was unstable. Draco then clenched his fists at that thought, Weasley was seriously unstable right now, he hurt Hermione before what if he was doing that now?

Draco couldn't sit there anymore; he flew up from his sit. Getting attention from his friends whom he promptly ignored merely giving them a grunt. Blaise saw him heading to the door and understood what was going on with Draco know. He was worried. And jealous. Blaise smirked at that thought and told the others to leave him and that he was fine.

Draco opened the door, wondering where they were. But he didn't wonder for too long. He stepped out of the common room and looked to his left. He turned around properly and froze for the briefest of seconds. The slimy git Weasley had his girl pinned up against the wall, his hands around her wrists above her head while he was kissing her. He could see that her eyes were wide upon and he could see the faint panic in her eyes but ignored it.

"What the fuck?" he said, not-being able to keep the anger out of his voice or the hurt. And Merlin was there hurt and lots of it. He had the right to be. His fiancée was freaking kissing his enemy and her bloody ex!

He saw Hermione's body stiffen, he could see she had been tense but took no notice of it. Ron pulled away from her and smirked smugly at Draco. Right there and then Draco wanted to rip his head off and chuck into the Forbidden Forest so the spiders could eat him. But he kept his eyes on Hermione. He could tell she could see the amount of heart breaking she had inflicting on him and he was glad. He wanted her to feel guilty, heck she should feel guilty.

He had let down his walls for her, let his emotions shine through, let himself love her and how did she repay him? By breaking his fucking heart. He could feel it then, the tears that were threatening to spill. He promptly turned around and marched away, hoping she didn't see the tears fall down his cheek as he disappeared. He didn't want to look more pathetic then he already did. Not in front of her at least.

He walked hastily away, bumping into anyone who happened to be heading in his direction. People shouted out a 'hey' or a 'watch it' but he said nothing and just kept walking. Not even apologising. The people who he knocked over grumbled and figured the old Draco was back. Not something that they thought was a good thing.

Draco had no clue where he was going. He was just going. Anywhere away from her away from him away from them. He froze at that thought, he thought of them as 'them'. Meaning that they were a pair, that they weren't single individuals. Another tear fell down his cheek and Draco punched the wall in frustration, growling as he did so.

His hand started to bleed but he didn't feel the pain. He slid down the wall and actually cried. Something he hadn't done since he was just a little boy. Something he vowed never to do again. But here he was, crying pathetically. All because of Hermione.

He stood up then, knowing where he needed to go to get the comfort he needed. He didn't bother to tell anyone where he was going or that he was going full stop. They could think he's dead for all he cared. Though as he reached the spot outside of Hogwarts where he could apparate he did feel a tug to go back there. He knew it was his stupid heart, wanting to go back to Hermione. But he ignored it and with a 'pop' he was gone. Maybe, forever.

~Back With Hermione & Ron ~

She was crying, sad, frustrated, angry, miserable tears. She swirled around and without thinking punched Ron straight on the nose. She heard a satisfying crunch and even though her knuckles now caned she didn't care. She had broken his stupid nose, at least he could feel just one tenth of the pain she was feeling because of him.

"You asshole!" she screamed hitting him on the chest. "I hate you! I HATE YOU! Why couldn't you just let Draco and I be happy together? Why couldn't you just let me be happy?" she asked, though the last question came out as a whisper. She stopped hitting him and sank onto her knees crying her heart out. The one that belonged to Draco.

The door opened then, Ginny and Blaise came out to find a Ron with a bleeding nose and a Hermione crying on the floor. Blaise and Ginny glared at Ron and Blaise bent down to Hermione asking if she was okay. She didn't say anything just flung her arms around him and cried onto his shoulder. He stroked her hair and said soothing words but that didn't work. So he just held her and let her cry it out.

Ginny on the other hand, glared at her brother. Hands on her hips looking the spitting image of an angry Mrs Weasley. Ron gulped and took a step back.

"Help me out here, Gin. You got a tissue or something?" Ron asked, his voice sounding nasally. At any other situation or time Ginny would have laughed at the sound of Ron's voice. But she just sent daggers at him with his eyes.

"What the hell did you do to Hermione?" she shouted at him. Harry came out of the common room then, hearing his girlfriend shout. He looked at Ron, whose nose was still bleeding and then looked at the mess of his best friend crying on the floor. Lavender who had followed him gasped at what she saw. Harry told her to help Blaise get Hermione inside and try and help her somehow. Lavender nodded and helped her boyfriend lift Hermione off the ground and back into the common room. Though how they were going to cheer her up, she had no clue. Wouldn't stop her from trying though.

When the door closed Harry turned to Ron, his arms crossed over his chest. Looking very pissed at him and as if he wanted to kill him right there and then. Which he did. But he restrained himself, because of their past friendship and because he was Ginny's brother.

"Hey, I'm the one with a broken and bleeding nose! Clearly she's hurt me not the other way around." Ron said, he shouldn't have said that, he knew that, he didn't know why he said that he just did. He never knew why he said any of the stuff he said anymore. It was hurtful and stupid and entirely not him but the words would always slip out of his mouth before he could stop them. Then he would defend himself because he didn't know what else to do. He hated being the bad guy but it was his own fault. So he tried to wriggle himself out of it and blame it on someone else. This case, Hermione.

"You're hurt physically! Hermione's emotionally hurt!" Ginny said, practically screaming at him. Harry put one hand on the small of her back and she immediately relaxed and took a deep breathe. She nodded at Harry, saying that she was okay now. Mostly. He rubbed her back slightly before he removed his hand from her and looked once more at Ron. The guy whom he used to gladly call his best friend.

"What happened, Ron?" Harry asked, quietly. Knowing the best way to get answers from this Ron was to tread carefully and not have a shouting match with him.

"I kissed Hermione." Ron murmured truthfully. "Then Malfoy came out and saw me kissing her." Harry and Ginny froze. No wonder Hermione was so upset; of course it had something to do with Draco!

"D-did Hermione kiss you back?" Harry whispered still stunned, hoping that the answer was no. Ron opened his mouth and before he could say anything Harry added threateningly "And if you lie I swear to Merlin, I'll let Ginny hex you until you can't stand." Ginny smiled softly, liking the fact that he was using her as a threat. Ron looked scared, gulped and nodded his head.

"Fine, no she didn't. I pinned her up against the wall, I pinned her arms up above her head so she would stop hitting me and crushed my legs against hers so she wouldn't try and knee me in the groin. She was fighting and when I made it so she couldn't any longer she just stood there, not kissing me back at all." Ron said almost dejectedly.

"Good." Ginny said and Ron's head snapped up to glare at her. "Don't you dare glare at me, Ronald Weasley. You have no-one to blame but yourself. You seriously think that Hermione would kiss you back?" she was about to continue but Harry interrupted her before she could say anything more hurtful and thus angering Ron.

"Gin." Harry said warningly and for once Ginny didn't listen to him.

"No, Harry, he needs to hear this. You need to grow up, Ronald. You can't keep on being the lovesick little boy. Hermione doesn't love you and you bloody well know that. She loves Draco and a blind person could see that he loves her back. She's happy, Ron. You know she is. If you love her as much as you claim you do then you would leave her and Draco alone and let her be happy. Because you're the one causing Hermione's sadness. Not Draco." Ginny said and let out a deep breathe when she finished. She had stunned her brother into silence; she said nothing more and just walked away back into the common room to see if she could cheer up her best friend.

"I don't know why I'm like this, Harry." Ron said quietly, his head hung down not looking at Harry just at the floor. "I don't want to be like this."

"No-one wants you to. So don't." Harry said, if Ron was aiming to get some sympathy then he better look somewhere else. He was going to get nothing whatsoever from Harry.

"I can't help it. I act and say before I think. Whatever I say or do I immediately regret but I know I can't take it back so I just make it worse." Ron was almost in tears and Harry sighed.

"I think you should go home, Ron. Get your head cleared. Ginny's right, if you really love Hermione then you would let her go. And more importantly you would let her be happy with Draco." Harry said and then left Ron to stand there. Hating himself.

Ron sighed and knew his friends were right. He had been wrong all along to try and split Hermione and Malfoy apart. He thought he was doing it because it would make them all happy but in the end all it was doing was making everyone miserable. He could no longer stand to be the cause of all his friends and the love of his life sadness so he decided he would take Harry's advice. He would go home and get his head cleared. Hopefully when he came back he wouldn't be this asshole of a guy he was right now. Hopefully he would be the old Ron. The one everyone used to love. Including Hermione.

~Back In The Prefect Common Room ~

Hermione was lying on the sofa still crying her eyes at. She hated herself right then. She hated that she was the one who caused Draco the heart break. Hated that she was so stupid as to trust Ron considering how he's been lately. Most of all she hated the she was the person who had made Draco cry in Merlin knows how long.

Her friends were trying to comfort her but it did no good. She was inconsolable. The only person who could make her feel alright again was Draco and she had no doubt that he hated her now. Why wouldn't he? He didn't know that Hermione wasn't kissing back. To him it probably looked like Hermione was enjoying it. In reality she was retching inside, desperate to get Ron away from her.

"Come on, 'Mione. You can't just mope around." Ginny said softly, Hermione ignored her. Ginny sighed but of course didn't give up. She was Ginny after all. "I know you won't believe me and probably don't want to hear this but it wasn't you're fault, Hermione. Ron forced himself upon you and you tried to fight I know you did. Draco couldn't see the struggle you were putting up from where he was. If you just tell him what really happened then it'll be okay." She said soothingly but Hermione was far from soothed.

"As if Draco will ever talk to me again." Hermione said, her voice muffled by the pillow her head was dug into. Ginny didn't know what to say to that but luckily Blaise did.

"'Mione you and I both know that I know Draco better than anyone besides you. Draco loves you Hermione, he may be mad at you now but at the end of the day he still loves you. He doesn't hate you if that's what you're thinking. I don't think it's possible for him to hate you anymore. He's your fricking fiancée Hermione! Every couple fights, the ones who fight each other than fight to fix it are the ones that stay together. So stop crying and go and fight Draco to fix it!" Blaise said, almost giving her a pep talk. She stood up and they looked at her hopefully. But she didn't go to the common room door like they thought she would.

No, she went to the stairs that led to the girls' dormitory. She went up to the stairs whilst murmuring that she would like to be left alone. They heard the door close and they knew that their best friend was upstairs still crying her heart out. The only one who could fix it was Draco. Whom was no longer in Hogwarts. And not likely to be coming back any time soon.

A/N: N'aww soo sad :( I'm sorry Draco and Hermione for making you go through heart break! But if you were happy all the time then the story would be boring and I don't want my dear readers to be bored! Anyway, I hope you guys liked this chapter. Please leave a review telling me what you thought of it. Thanks :3

Until next time - Tilda
