ily guys and thank you for continuing to read my fanfic even though i'm sometimes inactive

[Draco's POV]

Draco felt like he was on top of the world. Hermione had given him a second chance and it was more than he could ever hope for.

"How did things with Hermione go?" Astoria asked him as she flicked through the channels.

"She said she'd try it again,"

"So you're getting back together?"

"Something like that. Oh, and should we do something about our divorce papers?" Draco put his bag away but turned back when Astoria didn't answer, "Astoria?"

The ravens haired girl rubbed her temples with her fingers and later her eyes, "You really want a divorce don't you?" Draco didn't know why but he knew that she was completely broken inside.

"Well, you said that we should since you thought -"

"You were supposed to say no! You were supposed to tell me that you didn't have feelings for anyone else!"

"But - but you said. What about the Amortentia? You used it to test me yourself!"

"And it turns out I was right. But deep down I still hoped that it wasn't true. You know, Draco, I actually loved you when I agreed to marry you and I thought that you had the same feelings for me." She paused and took a deep breath, "I guess I was wrong,"

"But you said -"

"But I thought that you were less selfish and that maybe you would give me more of your attention! I'm your wife."

Draco. You have a wife. Hermione's words echoed through his currently empty mind, her voice bouncing off his skull.

"Hermione said the same thing." He whispered to no-one in particular.

"What?"

"The main reason - heck the only why she didn't want to get back together with me was because of you. I've tried to approach her many times before but she kept refusing, she kept refusing because I had a wife."

"Yeah well why didn't you listen to her?"

"Astoria, you pushed me away! You were the one who offered to get a divorce. You. Not me."

"You know what? Draco, just - just stay away from me." The former Slytherin girl stormed past Draco making sure her shoulder bashed into his and apparated.

"ARGHHHHHH!" Draco screamed out and punched the wall with his fist as he swore. Astoria had always been there for him, she had been a good wife to him, she took care of him, she tried to comfort him, she did everything for him. And he couldn't even return half the favour. He had been a horrible husband. He was selfish, he didn't even know what his wife wanted half the time.

Draco grabbed his phone a dialled Blaise. Blaise was someone he could always count on, ever since Hogwarts and up until now.

Blaise picked up at the other end, "Hello?"

"Mate, I screwed up." Draco said into the receiver, "I fucked it all up."

[Hermione's POV]

Hermione and Ginny were sitting together in Hermione's living room having afternoon tea together as they caught up on each other's lives.

"So, how do you feel?" Hermione asked as she took a sip of her tea - peppermint tea of course.

"How do I feel? I feel pregnant."

Hermione wanted to roll her eyes so far back into her skull that you could only see the white of her eyes but resisted the urge, "Like what's it like being pregnant."

"Well, I feel like I'm always full and I have these weird cravings. I'm putting chocolate spread on garlic bread and I really don't think it's good for the baby."

Hermione laughed, "Chocolate and garlic bread?"

"I know!" Ginny threw her hands up in the air in exasperation, "And there as this one time I made a strawberry and garlic salad, like Harry tries not to say anything about it but I can see him cringe every time I eat something like that."

"Who knows, maybe the baby's telling your conscious to eat more garlic."

"Doubt it, bloody hormones that's what. You know what, I can almost feel all the hormones just screwing with my senses."

"What do you guys want to name the baby?"

"I don't really mind but if it's a boy then Harry wants to name him James Sirius."

Hermione smiled to herself, of course Harry would want to name the baby James Sirius. They were both fathers to him, one didn't even get to know his own son and the other had his chance ripped away from him the moment he got it.

"I think it's a beautiful name." the brunette smiled softly.

"I know, how hard must it have been to grow up not knowing your parents at all? And to top it off, he had to live with those dreadful muggles!" Ginny said and she helped hermione put the last of the plates and cups away, "Look Mione, thank you so much for the tea it was really sweet of you."

"No worries,"

"But I should be heading back, I have to get a checkup on the baby."

"Sure thing, do you want me to drop you off?"

"Nah, I'll just apparate."

"Ginny, you're pregnant."

"Doesn't mean I can't apparate. Every one just needs to chill out. I'm fine."

"Fine. But if anything happens -"

"I'l call you. Yes mother, I know." Ginny went in a gave Hermione a hug, "I'll see you this weekend at the Burrow?"

"Definitely."

Ginny apparated back to her house and Hermione was about to sit down when there was another knocking on the door. She opened the door to find a very pale-looking blonde. His hair hung down his head and he looked even paler than he already was.

"Draco? What happened? Oh Merlin, come in. You look like you're about to freeze to death."

The boy stepped into her house and sat down on the couch looking absolutely defeated. He hadn't looked at her at all since he had entered her house.

"Draco?" Hermione sat down next to him and squeezed his hand. "Draco."

The boy looked up at her, his broken grey orbs meeting her warm caramel ones. All of the sudden, she saw the boy she used to know at Hogwarts before her again. The lifelessness in his eyes, the greyness in his skin. She looked at the miserable boy that used to make fun of her. "Hermione, I'm sorry. I fucked it up. I fucked it up so badly."

"Draco, what did you do?"

"You were right, I should've listened to you and not let my emotions get the better of me." he said in a coarse whisper.

"Draco, you're not making any sense. Please, just talk to me."

He looked away from her and put his head in his hands, "I'm sorry Hermione. We can't be together."

chapter 24 will be coming shortly for makeup for last week and sorry if it's a bit short.
