*A/N: I keep forgetting to put these in here! Whoops a daisy! lol anywaysssss, I own nothing besides the plot! J.K. Rowling is the awesome person who came up with all of these wonderful characters! And I know it's been forever since I've updated but I have been on vacation and was nowhere near a computer so here it is Chapter 3 of When Life Gives You Lemons… Btw, its only about Hermione's view in this chapter and you will only get part of what happened at the wedding in this one! Have fun reading!*
"How dare he have the nerve to place a bet like that on me!" She shrieked as she slammed the door to her apartment. "He is in no place to speak to me like that! Besides, he isn't married! What does that have to say about him?!" She continued to yell and shriek and stomp around her apartment throwing stuff every which way to try getting her pent up anger toward him out of her system... That is until she heard a soft cough come from behind her and she turned around and saw her two best friends and their wives with them.
"Um, hey guys." She said as she smiled and tried calming her hair down some. "Uh, what are you all doing here?"
"Well, Gin and Pans told us about you stomping out of The Leaky Cauldron and that as soon as that happened they came and got us so we could all be here to try calming you down." Harry said as he slowly inched his way toward her.
"Yeah, what exactly happened between Draco and you?" Ron asked as he also moved toward her.
"I mean it had to be something serious that happened for you to react like that." Ginny said as she walked toward the now calmer Hermione.
"I can hex him for you if he tried to hurt you at our wedding!" Pansy exclaimed while whirling herself toward the four people who meant the most to her.
They were all surrounding her now and had her in a giant bear hug and she couldn't help but just start crying.
"Merlin, he did do something to you!" Pansy shouted as she saw Hermione crying.
"NO! I mean he didn't hurt but something did happen between me and Draco." Hermione said softly as she got out of their embrace and moved to the chair beside her fireplace. They all followed her and sat down on the couch as she sat in the chair. "It all started right after the picture of all of us was taken…the one where Harry and then I come into the picture congratulating you all. I went and sat down at a table and was watching everyone…"
**Flashback: 6 years ago**
So many people.
Who would have ever thought that this many people could be in one place at the same time?!
Well, I'm only here because uh Hello the groom is my best friend!
That is where she stopped herself. She realized that she was having a conversation with herself. "Merlin, I really need to find someone to talk to." She said quietly to herself so that no one could hear her. But one person did hear her.
"Would I suffice for that someone you need to find to talk to?" She sat frozen as she realized whose voice it was. It was the same drawl that had plagued her for all of her years in Hogwarts. It had been two long years since she had heard it.
She spun around and quickly pulled her face away from the one that was making the smirk at her.
He smiled, "Why so jumpy, Granger? It's not like I'm going to hurt you." He said as he sat down in the chair beside her.
"Malfoy!" She breathed. "What in the world are you doing here?"
"Uh, well if it's not obvious your best friend did marry one of my friends and she did invite me." He smirked at her as he grabbed a glass of Firewhiskey off a tray as a waiter passed them and sipped on it.
She was losing it. Why was he here? Why was he talking to her? She had nothing to offer him.
"Granger, quit processing why you think I am over here talking to you." He said as he took another drink.
"How did you…" She stopped herself. "I was not thinking about that at all." She said as she turned away and took a drink of her Butterbeer.
Draco laughed. "Sure, you weren't." She turned to him and she saw the most dazzling smile she had ever seen on any man.
"You actually laughed." She said as her face turned bright red and she turned yet again away from him so he couldn't see her face flaming red.
He took her hand and she turned around. He slid his chair closer to her. "You know, you are gorgeous. Never have I seen someone so beautiful. That red dress really does you justice. It's like it was made for you." He finished by whispering in her ear. "I should've realized all of this back in school."
