Marriage by Law

Chapter 14: Don't Leave Me Alone

Draco X Hermione

I Don't Own Harry Potter

(Hermione's POV)

I couldn't believe that the Yule Ball was tomorrow and I had yet to talk to Draco. It would seem that he was avoiding me like the Black Plague and all I could do was study. It was all that I could ever do. I hardly talked to my friends right now because I didn't want to give Draco another reason to be upset. I sighed, at this point I really needed to talk to someone and Draco would not have any of it. My mother had already sent my dress over for the ball and it was Slytherin green and silver and came with silver heels. I had been in the library since I got out of class and was tired and ready to go to be, but I wanted to talk to at least Ginny and see what she thinks that I should do. I stood from my spot in the library and made my way to the dorms.

I would have a little time before curfew to talk to Ginny and maybe then I would know what to do about Draco avoiding me like the plague. When I arrived at the Gryffindor common room I noticed that Ginny was just getting back. I was glad that she was already outside because I did not know the password to the common now. The one thing that I was sure of was that Ginny would always be on my side no matter what and will always know what to do.

"Hey Ginny do you have a moment to talk?" I asked and she turned to face me.

"Yeah, what going on?" She asked.

"I just wanted to talk to you about Draco. I can't seem to get him to talk me and I was hoping that you could help me figure out why." I said.

"Well come on in, and we will talk in my room." She said.

I followed Ginny up into her room, but felt that the air was cold. I hope that I have not made Ginny angry. I can't bear the thought of having someone so close to me be angry and this very moment that was what I was feeling, but I didn't understand what I could have done to make her so angry with me. I was possibly just over thinking things and she just wanted somewhere quite to talk to me about everything going on. 

"So what is going on with Draco now?" She asked.

"He won't talk to me anymore and no matter what I do he just ignores me." I said. 

"Have you put yourself in his shoes. Just think about it for a second. The two of you are now married and instead of going to him with the news of your families history you go to Harry and Ron." Ginny said.

"What are you trying to say?" I asked.

"Just think about it okay. Draco wants you to talk him. I understand that they are your friends and so does Draco, but he is your husband now." Ginny said.

"I understand that, but they are my best friends. I tell Ron and Harry everything." I said.

"Yes, but as husband and wife you should tell each other everything that goes on and anything that is bothering you." Ginny said.

What she was saying did make a lot of sense and I could see where she was coming from and I think that I understand why he was so upset to begin with. I all honesty I would probably be upset with myself. I may as well have lied to him at this point and I am suppose to go to his family manner this year for Christmas and I can't do that if he is angry with me. I want Draco to understand that I am sorry and I want him to forgive me and start talking to me again. 

"So how do I get Draco to talk to me again?" I asked.

"You just try to talk to him. Catch him while he is alone in the common room and make him talk to you. He can't avoid you forever." Ginny said.
