Summer of Change (GxG) - A Hermione Fanfic

Chapter 22

TW: Rape and Torture.

Two weeks.

Two bloody weeks!

Molly and I spent two whole amazing weeks at the Prewett Manor in complete bliss.

All we did was get to know each other.

Enjoy each other's company.

We let our relationship and bond grow as the day's passed.

I found out more about Molly and she found out more about me.

I told Molly stories about my struggles... about my past.

One particular hard conversation came up when we were talking about children...

Molly and I were in the bedroom we now shared just talking about everything and anything after we had made love.

"Have I told you how absolutely radiant you are today, my love?" I said as Molly lay in between my legs with her head on my stomach.

Molly giggles.

"Mmmmmm... I don't think you have, but you show it through your actions, sweetheart. Everyday you show me how a partner should be treated and I'm ever thankful for it." Molly replied with a warm smile.

Bugger! I guess I'll have to say it and show her...

"Well, I'm telling you now that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Inside and out. Your heart is as fiery as your hair. It gleams with the sun's rays and makes you look like a goddess who has come down to walk among us. Your mind is full of wisdom and wonderful things that make up who you are. I'm so glad we found each other." I admitted as I lovingly stroked her cheek.

Molly's eyes seemed to waver, so I gave her an encouraging nod to say what she nodded.

"What about..." Molly tried to say, but then trailed off, and looked away slightly... I had a feeling of what she might be wanting to mention to me.

"What about Dora?" I finished; tone neutral.

I tried not to sound any which way because I didn't mind Molly bringing her up in conversation. The hurt was still there, but I felt like I could open myself up body and soul to the older witch who was looking into my eyes. Andy may have not accepted things, but I really was grateful for finding my soulmate.

Molly hesitantly nodded her head and shame filled those lovely eyes.

I sighed.

"I loved Dora just like you loved Arthur. Nothing will ever change that. I valued and enjoyed the time we could be together, and I know you yourself can understand that without hesitation. I wouldn't change anything even if I could. It was just that Dora and I were not meant for each other... not like how you and I are meant for each other... this... us... it goes deeper. She has that special someone out there and I know they will meet when the time is right. I want Dora to be happy, but... I love you, Molly. You are my soulmate. My other half. I'm devoted to you and only you. I hope you believe what I'm saying, and feel the truth in my words, my love." I explained, speaking from my heart... from the deepest parts I could find.

"I... I'm sorry, Hermione... For your loss. For all of our losses. Did you never wish to have a future with her? Children?" Molly asked, and I could hear the curiosity in her tone.
