Perfect Two...

Chapter Twenty Eight: Break up and make up

"Say the truth." She looked in his eyes

"I didn't kill her." he spoke "I didn't kill her."

"I didn't say that you did. Tell me, everything."

"I uh.. She-she was.. I mean we were together for few months, maybe five or six months. But it was long time ago.. She came to me a year later asking for a job, she told me that she needed one, I hired her in my company." He paused taking a quick look at the picture "Then she told me that she wanted a rise, the money I gave her wasn't enough for her and.. Her husband, so I made her my assistant." he sighed

"When was the last time you met her?" She asked

".. Er.. A week before she was.. Murdered."

"Why?"

"She needed money. Or.. Her husband did, she had a black eye, her lip injured and she looked horrible.. Hermione I swear I didn't kill her."

"Relax." She got up, pouring a glass of water and handed it to him, Draco drank it like if he didn't drink since forever. "Why did you lie? You said you didn't know her"

"I was shocked.. When I read about it in the Daily Prophet. She meant a lot to me."

"Why did you break up with her?" she sat behind her table with the piles of parchments and files on it.

"I thought.. That I'd forget about you if I was with someone else, but I was wrong and.. I broke up with her because I didn't want to hurt her anymore."

"Did you hit her?"

"What?"

"Her mum told me the day you broke up with her she came home and she was beaten up."

"I'd never do that, I cared about her, Hermione. If I didn't I won't give her a job, I won't give her money."

Hermione looked in his eyes, she said nothing. Both stared at each other for a while, then Hermione shook her head "Um.. Well, you may.. Leave now." she looked away avoiding his eyes,

"Hermione.."

"What?" she didn't look at him

"You don't think I killed her, do you? Hermione you know me more than anyone."

"No Draco, I don't know you anymore, everyday I discover a new thing about you." she chuckled "You know, sometimes I wish we can go back in time, when we were at school, when you used to mock me, calling me names.. You were so much better those days."

"Then let me make it up to you, Hermione." she looked at him again "Let's get back together."

"Oh please," she laughed "You're gonna dump Helena Vain for me? Come on, she's younger, prettier, hotter and.. I'm engaged Draco. Now if you don't mind I have work."

Hermione took another look at the case, she put all the files in her front together, checking what she was missing, she needed to find her husband, she needed to find Dennis
"Oh my god!" She gasped "The DNA!" she quickly reached her phone and called the lab,

"It'd been delivered to your office yesterday." the lady said

Hermione hang up and opened the door of her office to Andy
"Andy!" she walked closer "Did I got anything from the lab lately?"

"Wait, I didn't give it to you yet?" Andy gasped and opened the drawer searching between the files, she grabbed a yellow envelope To: Hermione Jean Granger and handed it to Hermione

"I'll murder you if you did it again!" Hermione hissed taking the envelope angrily, walking back to her office.

She sat down, sighed, hesitated to open it or not
What if it was positive? You'll send the man you loved, the father of your daughter to Azkaban? Just do it Hermione.
