Filthy

13: Another Ending

Hermione was beyond surprised to hear Ron's voice. She was even more surprised by the conviction in his tone. She had been missing for almost three and a half months and now is when he finally decides to come play hero. There was panic written on her face when his words registered in her head. She looked at Bellatrix seeing a blank expression on the woman's face as she rose from her position.

" Bella-"

" I'm going to handle it," Hermione was scared as Bellatrix spoke. Scared for Ron mostly as she didn't know what Bellatrix was planning to do. She didn't have time to ask as the woman had already moved down the stairs.

Bellatrix reached her lower level being met by a group of young wizards. She sent a sly smile at Ron before cackling at this attempted ambush," Oh it's Harry Potter and his gang to what do I owe the pleasure."

"Where's Hermione?" Harry took over trying to assume his natural born leader position. " How should I know? Does it look like I just keep muggles around my manor?"

Draco came out of his position," She's lying. Hermione is here and I know it." Bellatrix cackled at the blonde boy," Oh Draco you naive boy. You're a slow one aren't you? You brought her boyfriend on a rescue mission? I don't think inviting Weasley will make her fancy you."

Ron furrowed his eyebrows at Bellatrix before he turned his attention to Draco," What does she mean?"

" Oh he didn't tell you? Draco was the one who kidnapped your girlfriend for me. He felt oh so guilty about it and tried to help her escape and during that attempted escape they kissed," Ron glared at Draco processing Bella's words.

" You kissed my girlfriend," Ron charged for Draco but Harry stopped him. " She's playing with your head Ron. She's trying to distract us."

" Not really everything I said was 100% true," Ron straightened himself out realizing the witch had to be lying.

" There's no way Hermione would kiss Malfoy. It doesn't even sound right saying it."

" And why not? Cause I'm not some filthy, poor, idiot who doesn't really care about her? I care about Hermione and I knew from the moment she kissed me that we were inevitable. All those years of hatred are behind us," Draco snapped after hearing the Weasley speak of him as if he were lesser.

Ron lunged at the blonde boy and a brawl broke out in the witch's living area. She stood there and watched as everyone tried to separate the two boys.

How were they so simpleminded? They so easily fell into Bella's trap. If she was in their position she might've done the same thing only the other man would be dead. Those boys on the floor may like Hermione but there was no one else that loved her like Bellatrix. At least that's how Bella felt about the situation.

" You spoiled, rotten, blonde, bitch boy."

" Poor, stupid, piece of shit."

Bellatrix couldn't contain the smile on her face as they beat each other up.

" THAT'S ENOUGH" A voice rang out from behind her ending the fight immediately. The boys broke apart and stared at the girl intensely.

" Hermione," Ron whispered out as if her name were an unforgivable curse.

" Ron, you need to leave."

This confused the whole group aside from Draco. He was tired and he knew that there was little to no chance of him getting with Hermione. He thought it'd just be best if he left.

" Where are you going dear Nephew?" Everyone turned their attention to Draco.

" I'm leaving. I'm tired of fighting, Voldemort is gone. I am free to do as I wish now and I do not wish to fight any longer. I am happy for the both of you and now I shall take my leave." With that Draco took one more glance at Hermione sending her a small smile before he left the manor.
