Reality check

Hermione slowly opened her eyes and stared up at the sterile white ceiling of what she imagine to be the hospital. She was alone and couldn't remember what had happened. Then she remembered the press conference and the pregnancy test. Suddenly she heard voices on the other side of the white curtain.

"Draco!" she called out. Relief washed over her as she saw him stick his head through the opening

"be right with you love." he whispered. A moment later he was back and holding her hand.

"what happened?" she asked. "I don't remember much." she admitted "is the baby ok? She asked "I must have fallen hard. He or she could be injured.

"I'm sorry love." he said "there is no baby."

"I lost it?" she asked, tears already streaming from her eyes.

"No, no, it was a set up Rita hired that ,man to do a fake test spell. You are not pregnant. Your husband is just outside he wants to talk to you are you up to it?"

Hermione nodded. A moment later Ron walked in.

"are you alright?" he asked.

"fine" she replied. "There is no baby Ron." she said "there never was."

"I know." he said "when you fainted they called a real healer and he proved that you were not pregnant but your blood pressure was really high so they brought you here."

She nodded and smiled at him." I'm sorry Ron for all the trouble I've caused. I love him Ron I know you don't want to hear that but it's the truth. I'm sick of lying that is not who I am." she confessed.

"are you happy? Does he treat you alright?" Ron asked

"yes and yes." she answered. Ron only nodded and got up to leave. "I'm glad you are happy. I wish I could've been a better husband to you. Kept you happy." he said sadly

"oh Ron I was happy for a very long time I love our kids more than anything."

"but it just wasn't enough anymore?" he asked

"I don't know how to answer that." she said " I guess I just needed someone to talk to someone who shared interests with me I never though it would be Malfoy."

"Goodbye Hermione. I love you good luck and be happy"

"thanks Ron you too"

And just like that he walked out.

Did that just happen? she asked herself he was way too calm and understanding He didn't even turn red.

Just then her thought were interrupted by Draco' gorgeous face peeking through the curtain. She beamed at him

"you look much better." he said "don't you ever worry me like that again." he scolded
