The Marriage Law - A Harry Potter Fanfic

"Maybe."

Fred smiled before he looked away again and set the bags down on the counter "I'll go shopping in the morning, your bedroom is there, don't go in this room."

He closed the door that went to the bedroom with all the pictures of me. He pulled out his wand and muttered something making the door glow for a second before he turned away. He brushed past me and opened the bags taking out the food

"I hope your ok with this."

"I'm actually not, what the hell are you doing? Why am I trapped here?"

"If you take careful note love you'll see that you aren't yelling at me or attacking me at the moment."

"I will if you call me love again."

"I'll do as I please...love."

I glared at Fred and turned around walking towards the door that Fred had indicated was my room.

"Hermione."

"Just leave me alone Fred."

"You need to eat."

"No."

"Hermione!!"

"NO!! JUST STOP!!"

I threw open the door and stopped in shock as I took in the huge room filled with bookshelves...and books. A bed sat near one end of the room by a huge window that filled the room with sunshine. There was a dresser and a fire place, this was literally my dream bedroom. Oh Merlin the books.....Fred spoke softly "Now, before you go disappear into the millions of books, I want you to eat."

"I...wow...Freddie...What? Why? Did you?"

"Come eat."

"But...Fred..."

"The books can wait."

I went quiet and walked over as Fred served me a plate of food. He's spoke quietly as he served himself some food after handing me my plate. "You're here so we can try and connect with each other, not like that'll work but we can try."

I took my food and a fork before glaring at him as i sat down setting my food down, "And what do you mean by that?"

"It's never worked before."

I threw my hands up in exasperation and he looked up a little surprised, "What?"

"Never assume shit Fred, people can change, some not for the better."

He sat down across from me muttering softly "Yeah, I found that out when we married each other."

"OH SO YOU REGRET IT?"

Fred suddenly blew up, slamming his hands on the table and standing up "YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? I DO...I REGRET EVER KISSING YOU LET ALONE MARRYING YOU. I REGRET EVERYTHING."

I stared at him and he looked down at his food as he sat back down. The silence that filled the room was filled with tension and I watched him until he finally looked at me. I looked him in the eye speaking softly

"Everything Fred?"

"Yes."

"So you regret Amunet, Scarlett, and Jo-Anne?"

Fred eyes filled with pain and anger as he whispered softly, furiously... "Don't. Talk. About. Them."

"They're my ch-"

"I SAID DON'T HERMIONE."

I stood up furious "THEY ARE MY CHILDREN AS WELL FRED, I WILL TALK ABOUT THEM AS MUCH AS I FUCKING WANT."

"DON'T!! DON'T YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING ME THROUGH!!"

"AT LEAST YOU HELD THEM!! I CARRIED THEM AND YET I COULDN'T EVEN TOUCH THEM LET ALONE HOLD THEM."

"THEN THAT SHOULD MAKE THIS EASIER, AT LEAST YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING."

The room went deathly silent and i set down my fork before walking away from the table. I stopped outside the library door and spoke softly "I still remember what they felt like while they were inside me, Amunet was still and quiet, she loved it when we were sitting quietly and reading in the common room. I read Hogwarts A History out loud to her at night and it seemed as if she was listening to every word."

"Stop, just stop please..."

"The twins Scarlett and Jo-Anne, they loved chaos. Every time we apparated they seemed to love it. I was so frightened that they were getting hurt the first time we apparated and they were practically jumping for joy. I read to them as well, but they seemed to hate history so i read them Quidditch through the ages, every single night."

"Mione...please stop."

"And when I miscarried them all I lost a part of myself, and more importantly you, I thought it was going to work out, and then you almost died...I almost killed you."

Fred spoke softly "You didn't have any part to play in my attack."

"And yet you blame me for my...our children's death with every breath you breathe. You tried to kill yourself when you found out Fred."

"You  killed the twins."

Tears welled up in my eyes "I did have a hand in their death."

"And that's enough for me, you should have protected them."

I slowly opened the door and walked in closing it behind me. I slid down the door letting the tears stream down my face.
