HERMIONE S POV

It's Draco and Is' tenth anniversary today. I can't believe it's only been ten years since we got married! The years have practically flown by. Of course, this day brings overwhelming tears to my eyes for another reason. It was the night I...the night Ron...it was the night I learnt of Ron's heart breaking little secret.

*Flashback to 15 years ago (five years before Draco and Hermione married eachother)*

"Ron! I'm home!" I called.
No reply.
"Ron! Rosie! Where are you? Ron!" I called again, starting to get worried. Ron didn't go out, did he? No...he said he was watching the kids...he wouldn't...
"Ron? Are you home?" I called one last time.
Then I heard a thump from upstairs, followed by Ron saying," Rose Hermione Molly Weasley! Leave us alone!" In an annoyed voice. Immediately I thought; 'Us? Who else is with him?'
So I raced upstairs to she what was going on, and found Rose crying quietly in her bedroom with a bleeding gash under her left eye and a large red handprint on her small, innocent face.

"Rosie? Rosie? What's wrong darling? What happened?" I asked, scooping the girl into my arms.
"Mummy, they hit me. I didn't like it." The girl sobbed into my back.
"Who's they, sweetheart?" I asked, hoping I was wrong about my thoughts...
"Daddy and that weird silly naked lady." Rosie said, still heavily crying.
I didn't want to believe her... I wanted it to be a lie...but I still decided to check my room to see if Rosie was wrong and.... Ron was with Lavender Brown. Violently snogging her.
"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! AND POOR ROSIE! I SAW WHAT YOU DID TO HER FACE! HOW COULD YOU?!?" I screamed.
The two looked surprised and slightly annoyed at me for disturbing them.

"Ah, shut your mouth, idiot know-it-all. Get out!" Ron snapped, before going straight back to kissing Lavender. I was shocked. Betrayed. It hurt. It hurt more than anything.
"Well...if that's how it is...then I don't want to be your wife anymore!"
"Good, now leave!" Ron said, anger becoming imminent on his tomato-red face.
I rushed from the room, packed mine and Rosie's belongings and left that night, tears streaming down both our faces.

*End flashback*

I haven't seen anyone from Hogwarts since that night; except Draco Malfoy and his friends. We got married five years after Ron and I split up, with him becoming a father to Rosie and me a mother to his daughter from a previous relationship, Dia. We and our five beautiful baby's couldn't be happier in Malfoy manor, moving on and away from our past heartbreaks. Rosie, of course, remembers how Ron abused her, hit her, and hurt her to the point where she could barely stand, and knew that she'd not be able to cope if she ever saw him again. Which is why I was distressed when we received the invitation to the reunion.

Hi guys! Wondersoph11 here. Sorry for another shortish chapter, but it's longer than the last one? It's really only setting the scene and I will be picking up the word count I promise. So I was originally gonna just write the entire story of Hermione and Draco into this chapter, but.....it would be around five thousand words. So.... you can see why I didn't. Stay awesome and peace out!
