Chapter 6 - I'm sorry, it's over

Draco's POV

I didn't know where I was going, but I just couldn't stop running and running, the further away I got from that office the better I began to feel. I ran all the way down the corridor, then the entrance hall and then I ran through the front doors but I still couldn't stop running, until I reached the edge of the forbidden forest then I stopped, sweaty and panting. Then what I had just done hit me and my head pounded, I was in massive trouble right now, with both Snape and my dad, which was great! But I could deal with that later, right now I had to try and sort the mess inside of my head out. The fresh air was slowly helping soothe my anger and calm me down. I slumped down against a tree. This wasn't going very well, I might have to end it with her, if it will stop everyone hating her, and me so much. I felt bad for her, before we got together, pretty much everyone liked her, she was clever, nice, caring and helpful. I had ruined all her friendships but if I left her alone she could build them back up. She could get back with Ron, so he could look after their kid and they could be friends again, it seemed like the easiest route, to just end it, we would both get over it. Next time I saw her I would tell her. I closed my eyes and a few tears slipped out, I already felt like I loved her so much but I had to give her up, it was the best things to do for the both of us. But I might wait as long as possible to do it, so maybe not the next time I see her. I wasn't sure whether I would be able to do that.

10 weeks later

Hermione's POV

I twisted and turned, but no matter what position I was in I just couldn't sleep. I gave up, and decided to lie on my back, it was the easiest position to be in. I was 22 weeks and 3 days pregnant now, and my bump was growing massively. I had 14 weeks and 4 days left and then I would have to give birth. Thankfully that landed in the half-term holiday, so I didn't have to give birth at school which I was definitely pleased about, but it was getting harder and harder to sleep, make my way around school and concentrate on my work, because of it moving around inside me, I decided instead of carrying on trying to get to sleep, I might as well wake up. I went into the bathroom had a quick shower then got dressed, because it was a Saturday, I just put on a loose, plain cream t-shirt and a pair of fitted jeans (well as fitted as I could wear in my current state). I swept my long, curly hair up into a ponytail, so it was out of my face, I put some trainers on and went downstairs. There was no-one downstairs, anywhere. I hadn't thought to check the clock before I left so I had no idea what time it was. So I just went for a walk outside, I walked round the grounds slowly taking in the beautiful scenery. 

By the time I got back inside, there were loads of people in the dining hall, so I went in and sat down by Ginny at the Gryffindor table, she smiled at me happily. Before going back to her breakfast, I immediately tucked into mine I was starving, I would have to go back up to Gryffindor Tower, to get my bag after I finished eating, because I had a tutor session with Dumbledore today, I was very nearly caught up with the work we were doing right now, because I had been to multiple tutor sessions over the past 10 weekends. 

I took the stairs two at a time, I had to get my bag from the girls' dormitories and quickly or I'd be late for my first lesson. I crashed into someone as I rushed up the stairs and I heard the ooof as I knocked the air out of them but I didn't have time to stop I couldn't be late. I carried on up the stairs to the Gryffindor Tower and when I reached the common room I just went straight across to the stairs to the girls dormitories. I opened the door and turned to where my bag had been on my bed, it looked like someone had ruffled through it but I didn't have time to check and go through it. So I zipped it up and headed straight for the empty classroom that I had been having the tutoring sessions in with Dumbledore and Draco.

I found Dumbledore and Draco were already there waiting, I scrambled into my seat as quickly as I could manage with my protruding belly. I pulled out my books and placed them on my desk, Dumbledore shot me a glance before getting right into the lesson. As I scribbled down notes and drew diagrams, Draco just sat there staring into mid-air but it was impossible for me to tell what was wrong with him.

As soon as we were finished, I packed up quickly so I could go back to the common room and chat with my friends. I sped out the door to feel a strong hand grab my wrist and turn me back around. I turned smiling to see a grim-faced Draco. He seemed unsure as of what to say but suddenly he must have decided because his face cleared and he looked up at me. 

"Um...I'm sorry Hermione, but this has to end. Us...as a couple. I'm sorry, it's over." He placed a kiss on my cheek before walking off quickly in the opposite direction. I felt as if the wind had been knocked out of me and I couldn't seem to breathe. Then I fell and it all went black.

I woke up in the sterile, white Hospital Wing, Ginny looking at me concerned. "What, what am I doing here?" I asked.

"Um, well I was walking to the the Front Doors to go outside and I saw you talking with Draco, then I saw him leave then you started to hyperventilate then you collapsed. So I brought you here." She explained. Suddenly it all comes flooding back to me and I can remember it all, every last detail. He broke up with me.

"He broke up with me." Is all I said, and I saw her eyes flood with concern and her face turn shocked. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" She said, as she lent over and gave me a hug. I smiled at her warmly and she smiled back. "Oh and Madam Pomfrey says that you're ok, so that when you wake up which is now, you can leave." I nodded, and climbed out of bed to follow her to the Gryffindor Common Room. She went over and sat with some of her friends from her year and I saw her start to whisper then I saw the whisper circulate around the whole room. All the people that had been giving me cold glares for weeks, changed to giving me sympathetic glances. Soon I was crowded with people saying 'Sorry.' and 'I hope you're ok.'. And as easy as that I was no longer the victim of hate, I was one of the favourites in Gryffindor again and all my friends that I had lost so quickly, I had gained back just as fast. I had returned from my loneliness I suffered when with Draco, I was now surrounded with smiles. But it still didn't seem worth it to me.
