Imperiused (Dramione)

The Surprise Visitor

After dinner, Harry invited Ginny outside for a walk. The redhead was still mad at him but she agreed.

When Ron saw them leaving, he decided to go visit Hermione in Grimmauld Place. He waited until his parents left the sitting room to use the fireplace there to Floo.

He really wants to talk to Hermione and make her see sense. Maybe they could still be able to repair their relationship and return to what they were.

********************************************

Hermione and Draco almost jumped when they heard the knock. She pushed him back so she could stand up to get the door. He backed away reluctantly, cursing the intruder mentally.

When Hermione opened the door, she found Ron standing outside it.

"Ron," she greeted, surprised at his sudden visit. I told Harry earlier that I was not ready yet to talk to Ron, then why is he here? She thought.

"Hi, Hermione," he greeted back, giving her a small smile. Then he saw someone moving behind her. "Who's with you?" He asked confusedly, pushing the door further.

When the two boys saw each other, both grimaced. Hermione was still standing between them as Ron went inside the room.

"What is he doing here?!" Ron asked angrily, pointing at Draco Malfoy.

"What is it to you?" Draco drawled, wanting to irritate him.

"Ron, let's go to the drawing room to talk," Hermione called, moving towards her best friend. She wants to separate the two wizards as soon as possible.

"I came to talk to you so we could make things right! Then I'll find you here with that snake!" The redhead replied angrily, glaring at them both.

"I told Harry that I was not ready yet to talk you. I need to sort some things out first," the witch explained.

"Does Harry know you are keeping that snake with you?! Is that why you are staying here?!" Ron said through gritted teeth. "Are you continuing your dirty deeds here?!" He added, then pushed Hermione angrily.

"Ron!" Hermione yelled, surprised at his action.

Draco caught Hermione when Ron pushed her. "You Weasel!" Draco yelled angrily at him. "You have no right to hurt her!"

"And you have no right to f*** her!" Ron retorted.

"Ron, please stop! Let's talk," Hermione pleaded.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore! You are a s**t! Don't ever come to my house again! Don't talk to my sister!" Ron screamed angrily, bolting out of the door.

"Ron! Please!" Hermione called, wanting to run to follow her best friend, but Draco held her tightly.

"Let go of me! I need to talk to him!" She cried, tears flowing down her brown eyes.

"No! He might hurt you again," Draco replied firmly. "I can't let him hurt you and our baby," he added.

"He won't hurt me!" She told him. "Ron would never intentionally hurt me!"

"He's angry, he won't be able to think clearly. He already pushed you for Salazar's sake!" He said, trying to control his anger. He wanted to murder the Weasel when he pushed Hermione a while ago, but he needed to hold her so she wouldn't fall down.

Hermione cried silently, she couldn't blame Ron for thinking badly of her after she had cheated on him with the very boy with her now.

"This is all your fault!" She said angrily. "You ruined everything!" She cried, suddenly feeling weak from stress.

"I know and I'm sorry," he replied quietly, still supporting her weight.

Hermione wanted to break free from his hold but couldn't, she feels so weak.

Draco helped her to her bed, gently laying her down. She was still crying and was so angry about her situation.

"You should rest now," he told her. "Please don't cry, it's not good for our baby," he pleaded, still holding her hand.

"I hate you! This is all your fault! I don't have a family anymore because of you!" She said morosely.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive me," Draco replied quietly, feeling her pain. "I promise you, I will do everything to make it right for our family," he told her solemnly.

"Ron hates me because of you. The Weasleys will know and they will hate me too," she said, still crying, her body shaking.

"I'm here, I will take care of you. I didn't mean to do those things to you without your consent, I was an idiot for doing it. But I don't regret having a child with you, what happened between us before the holidays made me complete. I want you and I want to be with you and our baby," he told her sincerely, looking straight at her tearful eyes.

"I don't know if I'll ever forgive you for taking my purity. I was saving it for the one I love and will marry, but you just took it like it was nothing to you!" She sorrowfully said, tears still flowing. "I really hate you, Draco Malfoy!" She added bitterly.

"I am so sorry," he replied, still holding her hand firmly in his. He feels that if he let go of her now, she will slip away from him. He could accept her hate but he will not accept being away from her and their child. "Please rest now, we can talk again tomorrow," he said, rubbing her temple lightly with his other hand, trying to relax her.

Hermione just stared at him back, she could also see the pain behind his eyes. He has hurt her badly because of violating her, but she could not the deny the fact that they indeed have a child to think about.

"Move away from me so I could sleep," she said curtly. Distance was best for them, she almost kissed him before Ron knocked on the door, she remembered.

Draco sighed, knowing she needs her rest and she looks so uncomfortable in his presence. He nodded at her but gave her a kiss on the forehead before getting up from the bed which startled her, her eyes widening.

"Good night, Hermione," he said, standing up and moving to his chair. He closed his eyes, not wanting to see the hurt and hatred in her eyes anymore.

She silently looked at him for a few moments before drifting off to sleep. She was so tired but her mind was in chaos, giving her a fretful sleep.
