Ok…im updating after forever…don't kill me!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hermione spent the next day in bed after assuring Ginny she wasn't depressed, just tired. Of course she was neither, but this gave her an excuse to avoid any guests, two in particular. The first was Charlie who had arrived a little after one. She could hear his voice through the wall.
"Come on Ginny, let me see her."
"Absolutely not! She needs to rest."
She heard someone hit the wall and then Charlie cuss. After a few more angry words were thrown around he left slamming the door. Ginny came into Hermione's room and laughed at the look on her face.
"I can knock my brothers around when I want to."
"You didn't have to." Ginny sighed and walked over to Hermione.
"I think it's best if you keep your distance from my brother. I know its not my choice but Draco loves you and I have no doubt that whatever he's up to is in your best interest."
"You're right." Hermione smiled but inside she wondered if Ginny was right. Maybe Draco didn't really want this life. Maybe he wanted the one he had before he fell in love with her. Maybe he didn't love her. In his eyes it was his duty to marry her. She knew it. Just like she knew he was fighting for something else, other than her. Ginny left, and Hermione drifted back to sleep. In her dream she was in the same store as she had been before. Glades Purkin rushed from the back.
"Welcome…"
Her voice fell short and she shrugged. Hermione waved her hand in front of her face but she simply turned around and walked back to her desk. Yep, Hermione was definitely invisible, just like last time. She crept towards Glades and her desk to see if she could figure out where she was. She was on her phone.
"I'm sorry, there is no way…"
Glades made a face at the phone and threw her pen across the room.
"I understand it is urgent sir…sir…it just isn't possible…yes if I had a magic wand…sir..."
She hung the phone up and started muttering about what she would do with a magic wand if she had one. Hermione was pretty sure she heard "up his ass". This time Hermione stayed put and watched as the woman pulled out a wand and transformed a potted plant into a second Glades Purkin which she placed behind the desk before running into the back room. Seconds later Draco entered the store and raised his wand.
"Avada Kadavra."
She watched as he killed this woman again, stabbing her like before. Hermione woke with a start to find Draco standing over her while Ginny squealed in the background.
"I tried to keep him out." Draco shot her a dirty look.
"My house. My girlfriend. Mind your own damn business." Turning back to Hermione his face softened. "I have to get back to the office but I have a question."
"Too bad I'm tired." Hermione rolled over, facing the wall. She heard Draco sigh before he left. Ginny quickly ran to her side.
"What did he want?"
Hermione rolled her eyes before answering.
"I'm not sure. I think he probably wanted to know if I'd seen him at the funeral. He was knocked out when I saw him, remember? He wants to know how much I know."
"Oh."
"I do know one thing though."
"What's that?"
Hermione got out of bed and reached for her purse. "Glades Purkin isn't dead and we need to find her."
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ok super short but it will have to do for now.
