Last Chapter

Ok I know this is short I'm sorry but I have serious writers block .

Last Chapter

"Hey G..."

That was definitely not Ginny.

Now

"Hey."

Hermione stared at the man in front of her, speechless. He was about the last person she was expecting. A smile lit across her face and she stepped to the side so he could come in.

"Hi Charlie."

He made his way inside and followed her into the kitchen. She searched through the kitchen for the teapot while he watched. Finally she found it and started water for the tea, turning back to Charlie.

"So what are you doing back, I thought you were in Romania for another 3 months."

Charlie grinned. Hermione felt her heart flip. She mentally slapped herself.

"They didn't really need me and the Order does."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, actually that's what I came to talk to you about."

Charlie looked at his hands uncomfortable. Hermione looked at him for confused for a minute but then it donned on her. This was about Draco.

"Why? Harry even trusts him."

Charlie's face twisted painfully as he stared at his hands, refusing to look up at Hermione.

"Maybe we should talk about something else…I heard you're expecting."

Hermione scowled at him but the teapot whistled taking her attention away from him. She got two cups out from the counter but Charlie stopped her.

"Don't bother, I should get going…Ginny said to tell you she would be down soon."

Before Hermione could stop him he had risen from his chair and was out the door. She groaned and sat down at the table with her tea. This was not what she needed right now. It didn't even make sense. Draco had proven himself over the last year. He had turned away from Voldemort and help save Hermione. Apparently that wasn't enough but what could that possibly suspect him of? Whatever it was they didn't want her to know or at least Charlie didn't want her knowing which meant Ginny wouldn't be telling her and Harry and Ron were away on Order business.

Hermione stood up and looked out the window into the backyard, running her hand over her stomach. Everything seemed to be happening so fast. She was already into her second trimester, she was engaged to be married, and she and Draco had bought this cottage. She couldn't help but miss what her life would have been like had none of this happened. Although others were quick to forget it, her plans had been far from here. All her hard work in school would have helped her get a job in the ministry without a problem. She could be working her way up instead of sitting around on her bum. She heard Ginny come through the front door and turned to meet her.

"Hey Gin."

"You're getting fatter everyday Hermione.'

Ginny pulled her into a hug before stepping back and laughing.

"Thanks a lot."

"So did my brother stop by?"

"Yeah, he actually…"

Hermione stopped; part of her didn't want to mention it to Ginny. It suddenly seemed like a secret. She knew Ginny deserved to know; after all she was her best friend. Ginny stared at her curiously.

"He what?"

"He just said hi and left."

"Oh."

It seemed like Ginny didn't know what he had come to talk about.

"Did he tell you why he came back? He's been really secretive about it and mum's worried."

"Nope."

Hermione shook her head while her insides twisted. This was not good but part of wanted to help Charlie. If Draco were somehow still involved with Voldemort she would be able to do the things she had dreamed of doing instead of playing housewife. NO! That was wrong she loved Draco and she wanted this. She turned her attention back to Ginny who was blabbing on about some dress she had seen someone wearing.

"Hermione have you been listening to me at all?"

"Yes, of course, it was a horrible dress."

Ginny looked content and continued.

"You know what Ginny, I think I'm gonna take a nap."

"Oh ok."

Ginny smiled at her and left. Hermione wondered around the house for awhile and then actually laid down and fell asleep.
