The Marriage Law - A Harry Potter Fanfic

24

I stood in Ginny's room and I looked out the window at all the red haired people gathering in the tent below. Today was the day...I leaned forwards and I could feel tears fill my eyes as I saw Angie and Fred walk into the house, Fred limping heavily with the artificial leg.

He was supposed to be at the end of that aisle, not Ron. I pulled away and paced up and down the floor, she was supposed to be here already. I heard a commotion and I opened the door. Bill grabbed Pansy's arm as she tried to come upstairs "Let go Weasel."

I saw Bills ears get red and I spoke softly "Bill, let her go."

All eyes turned to me and Fred gasped softly, his eyes widening in shock. I wore a tightly fitted white mermaid gown with silver leaves embroidered all over it, it was backless and swept the floor as I walked over to the stairs, it was the dress that we had talked about all those years ago when we wanted to get married during Hogwarts "Come on Pansy."

The black haired girl tore her arm form Bills grasp and flounced up the stairs "You look great Granger, although I am sorry you were paired with the Weasels."

I smiled and guided her towards Ginny's door. Draco called out "Um Pans? Why the hell are you here?"

Pansy smirked turning around to face Draco "Free alcohol, a pretty dress and a big old plate full of drama Draco!! Who can refuse?"

She swept inside Ginny's room and I laughed glancing over my shoulder to see Fred with a small smile on his face. He mouthed quickly and silently to me "You look beautiful."

I turned and went into Ginny's room closing the door, tears filling my eyes.

"So, why am I here Mudblood?"

I sighed, ignoring the name "I need your help."

"With?"

"I don't think I can marry Ron."

Pansy smiled sitting down on the bed "I thought you were madly in love with the stupid blood traitor?"

I sat down and looked at her "He's not the one I tried to have children with, is he?"

Pony blinked her voice softening "You have children?"

"Sort of."

"What happened?"

I looked down and started picking at me dress "I miscarried."

A look of devastation came over her face "Oh Merlin..."

"Why?"

Pansy looked at me "What?"

"Why do you look like that?"

"You're not the only one who has suffered loss Hermione."

My eyes narrowed as I guessed quietly "You miscarried?"

She looked at me and whispered softly "They don't call you the smartest witch of our age for nothing do they?"

"No."

"So modest..."

I smiled and whispered softly "How?"

"Mother made me get an abortion."

I reached out and squeezed her hand "I'm so sorry."

"How did you...?"

"My body wasn't able to cope which the stress of my studying while I carried Amunet, and then Bellatrix gave me an abortion during my second pregnancy."

Pansy gasped softly "You lost two?"

"Three, I was pregnant with twins."

Pansy her lip and closed her eyes "I could bare cope with losing one, how did you survive?"

"I don't know, I don't know how to survive honestly."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Hermione..."

"Who was the father?"

Pansy laughed "Draco if you can believe it, it was a miracle we didn't get put together. What about you? Was it Ronald?"

I laughed softly "No, it was Fred."

Pansy laughed "Fred Weasley? You banged his brother?!!"

I flushed and someone shifted by the door "You make it sound terrible."

We looked over and Fred stood by the door "Pansy, could I talk with Mione for a minute?"

"Mhmm, I have to go find some fire whiskey anyways."

I swallowed and Fred came to sit where Pansy was, the door closed and I whispered softly "How much did you hear?"

"I know that Pansy has or had a kid with Draco, that's pretty much it...Why were you talking smack about me?"

I smiled and Fred reached over taking my hand "I have 3 minutes before someone comes looking, I told them I was going to the bathroom."

"Why are you here?"

He pulled me onto my feet and he murmured quietly "You look beautiful, absolutely gorgeous."

I reached up and grabbed his face, planting my lips on his and kissing him "Marry me Fred, please."

He kissed me deeply and wove a hand into my hair, making my wand fall out out and my hair come tumbling down my back. He moaned softly and one of his hands slid down my back as he plucked at the clasp on the dress that rest by my lower back

"Well, this is cute."

We pulled apart with a gasp and Pansy snickered "Their looking for you Fred, well the whore is, everyone else knows where you are. George can't keep a straight face."

Fred laughed softly and kissed me once more, his hands running down my sides before Pansy yanked him away "Go, Ron came in a few minutes ago and he's suspicious as hell."

Fred nodded and looked at me, before disappearing with a crack. I covered my mouth and I sobbed softly, slowly collapsing on the floor. Pansy handed me a glass of alcohol and sat down on the floor beside me.

"Just breathe, I'll punch him in the face later for playing with your emotions like that."
