the marriage law.

what do you think you're doing?!

*H POV*

I SWEAR TO MERLIN IF I SEE THAT INCOMPETENT LITTLE CHILD I ONCE CALLED A 'BEST FRIEND' EVER AGAIN BEFORE THE DAY I DIE IT WILL BE A FEW YEARS TO SOON! HOW DARE HE THINK HE HAS SOME SORT OF CLAIM OVER ME, TREAT ME LIKE PROPERTY! AND TO HANDLE ME LIKE SOME SORT OF PUNCHBAG!

*HALF AN HOUR EARLIER*

I need tea. i need to forget about everything that had just happened, just for a little while, and then ill figure out my next move. suddenly the light pop of apparition filled my flat followed be a loud bang and a growl of pain. seconds later Ronald was stood in front of me already half way through whatever he was meant to say.

"HERMIONE LISTEN TO ME WE BELONG TOGETHER YOU WERE MINE SINCE THE FIRST DAY WE MET ON THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS. THAT'S HOW IT WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE, GINNY AND HARRY AND ME AND YOU. HOW SELFISH ARE YOU? CHOOSING MY BROTHER WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD HURT ME! YOU HELD NO THOUGHT FOR MY FEELINGS AT ALL! I KNEW I SHOULDNT HAVE STOPPED GIVING YOU LOVE POTION IN FOUR-!"

"WHAT. DO. YOU. MEAN. LOVE. POTION?! YOU IDIOT DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT COULD AFFECT ME? DID YOU EVEN READ THE SIDE EFFECTS? I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE OF YOU! AND YOUR FEELINGS?! WELL GUESS WHAT RONALD, I DON'T CARE. BEFORE I FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE BASICALLY DRUGGING ME FOR THREE YEARS? WELL MAYBE WE HAD A CHANCE AT BEING FRIENDS. BUT NOW, THERES NO GOING BACK!"

SLAP

stay calm Hermione deep breaths, deep breaths. oh screw it.

"GET THE HELL OT OF MY HOUSE! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO BE IN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND ALL YOU HAVE MANAGED TO SUCCEED IN, IS MAKING THIS WHOLE SITUATION WORSE THAN IT WAS TO BEGIN WITH." and then something inside me snapped, i reared my hand back and punched Ronald square in the face. " and i hope it's broken, too" i then proceeded to push him into the floo whilst he was still in shock and shouted the burrow.

and then just like that all the fire that i had within me, went out. i may not be able to have children. no little girls with wild ginger hair and intellectual brown eyes, or little boys with unruly chestnut hair and mischievous blue eyes. all of that gone because of Ronald. and my god is he going to pay for it.
