Chapter 20

Ginny disapparented herself into Draco's room, he was lying on his bed with a book in front of his face; he was yet to realise that Ginny was in his room "Uh-hum" Ginny coughed to grab Malfoy's attention. Draco dropped his book from the sudden sound "For Merlin's sake!" he exclaimed "You do know there's a thing called knocking, you should try it some time. What do you want Weaslette?" he demanded, Ginny just stared at him "Well? Are you going to say something or just stand there and waste my time? He sneered, staring at her with dark eyes "You're an arsehole" Ginny stated matter-of-factly, Draco just sat there looking at her waiting for Ginny to announce why she just appeared in his room. "I just want to talk" she finally said and Draco started to ramble "No, I did not fuck Granger, no I did not touch Granger inappropriately" a smirk slowly spread across his face, highlighting his dark eyes "No matter how much I wanted to and no, I didn't hurt her."

Ginny looked at him confused "What are you talking about?" Draco got off his bed and waltzed rather slowly toward her "The accusations you were about to throw at me Weaslette, I answered them before you could ask them" he replied simply "I wasn't going to accuse you of anything actually" she replied matter-of-factly "I know what happened, Hermione told me she was mean"

Draco was slightly confused; if the redhead wasn't here to accuse him of things then what was she here about? "I think you and Hermione need to stay away from each other" she stated "Well you don't beat around the bush do you Weasly?" He was not impressed by her comment "You need to stay away. You're causing her emotions to go haywire and the last thing we need is an emotionally pent up Hermione around magic, and now we know that the baby has a say in what her magic does, we don't need her accidently exploding something when she gets angry, or sexually frustrated because of you" It was universally known that Ginny didn't like Malfoy, but she was pushing it by telling him to stay away from Hermione.

"Maybe I'm exactly what Granger needs. We don't know what the baby can do, so far, he follows me. I wouldn't exactly call that "having a say" in Granger's magic and if she gets sexually frustrated, she knows where to find me" Draco's eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes making him look menacing, he took two long strides and leaned in close to Ginny's ear "You ever threaten me again, and I will kill you. Understand?" He didn't wait for her reply, instead he walked calmly to his bathroom and closed the door. Not a minute after, he heard Ginny's voice from the other side of the closed door.

"You stay away from her Malfoy, or I will make up something so awful about you that she'll have no choice but to believe it, then I will help her leave and go into hiding, making sure that you will never see your child again. Do you hear me Malfoy? I will take your child away... so if I were you Malfoy, I'd break Hermione's heart before I take what's dear to you."

Draco yanked open the bathroom door but the redhead had made a scurried exit "BITCH" he roared as he swiped his hand across his bookshelf knocking everything off with a clattering thud. She had backed him into a corner and until he could figure his way out, he would have to play the game her way.

The day after Ginny's threat, Draco searched for Hermione and found her in the great hall having breakfast with the redhead herself. He walked up to the Gryffindor table and wrapped his pale hand around Hermione's upper arm and yanked her up, she was immediately enraged by his manhandling her "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Let me go Malfoy" she ordered, he leaned into her ear "Unless you want me to announce that you're pregnant in this extremely busy hall, I recommend you come with me" he whispered harshly, she complied with him in fear that he would announce her pregnancy.

Draco dragged her out into the hall and Hermione pulled her arm out of his grasp "What is this all about?" she questioned "Not here" he stated and grabbed her again dragging her down the hall, he let go of her upper arm when they reached the girls bathroom "You were right" he spat "I am a snake, and I did what snakes do best; I poisoned you. I made you think that I cared for you, more than once and you fell for it. All you mudblood's are the same, the second I showed you attention you let me fuck your brains out, you were begging me for more! The great Hermione Granger begging her sworn enemy to fuck her, where was your self-respect and dignity? Did you lose it when you lost your panties?" He hated this, but the second he figures a way out of Ginny's grasp he would explain it all. The tears that were filling her eyes were tearing him apart and there was nothing he could do.

"You screwed everything up Granger!" he yelled at her causing her to flinch "Because of you, I get beat" he turned away from her as the tears in her eyes began to spill over "You always have to be smarter than everyone else" he said in a calm manner "Or so I thought" he chuckled "If you were that smart, you wouldn't have let yourself get knocked up and now we're stuck together because of a damn child that I don't even want" he seethed out through gritted teeth. Every word that was coming out of his mouth was a lie; he wanted his child more than anything. "And when father finds out that you're pregnant, I'll have to endure yet another beating due to your mistake. I have made many mistakes, but to lay with a filthy mudblood was by far the worst mistake I've ever made." With that final statement Draco left, before Hermione could see the tears that threatened to fall from his eyes.

Hermione stood in the girl's bathroom crying silently to herself, wishing that Draco Malfoy didn't exist.
