A/N: Thanks to everyone who's been reviewing thus far!!!! Oh and I know that Harry and Ginny got together at the end of the year blah blah blah but I said I've made some changes so I said Harry and Ginny got together after Christmas break, remember? No? Yeah I don't think I said it. Well that's what happened in this story. Well, enjoy, review, and as always, go DA BEARS!
After her talk with Hagrid she went back to her room. Why go to class? She was dropping out, and the only thing that would happen would be other people would just talk about her and make her last few days miserable.
Hermione closed her eyes. She felt like she was going to throw up. She opened them and her door and gasped at the sight that welcomed her.
All of her clothes were packed up, and her side of the room was practically bare. Dumbledore must've sent some houseleves, bless their hearts, to pack up her stuff. She was shocked when she saw that. She hadn't been expecting to get kicked out. She crossed the room to grab her jacket and put it on. It was cold for March, even though the room was heated.
Her trunk was open and she closed it. She sighed as she picked up her book bag. She slipped off her sneakers and sat on her bed. She looked around and thought of all the great memories she had had here at Hogwarts.
First year with the troll…befriending Harry and Ron…brewing the polyjuice potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, scared to death they'd get caught…flying up on Buckbeak with Harry…the Triwizard Tournament…Umbridge…She took her jacket off.
Hermione closed her eyes to stop the tears from forming. She placed her head in her hands and thought. Oh God oh God. Oh God please help me. Please let this all just be a nightmare. Please. This can't be happening. Not to me. Not to me. Please God, please. She squeezed her eyes tighter but it didn't matter. The tears came pouring out. Not to me. Not to me. She raised her head and realization dawned on her.
She was dropping out. She was pregnant. Pregnant. Alone. No one was going to help her. No one cared. Harry didn't care, he had Ginny to worry about. Her hands started to shake. She was pregnant. "Oh my God." she said. "Oh my God!" She stood up and opened the door and walked out to the common room. She walked out of it and kept walking. A couple of people passed her and said something to her, but she didn't care. There was only one person she wanted to see.
***********************
His first period was Charms.
She waited outside his class until the bell rang. A slew of people walked out of the room and of course he was last to leave. Last to get to class, last to leave.
He walked out by himself and stopped when he saw Hermione. He laughed and shook his head.
"What the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be gone from here and getting income support or some shit like that? Merlin!" He laughed and kept walking.
"Terry," she followed him. "Terry! Stop. I have to talk to you." He stopped and turned around with a smirk on his face. "Yeah, baby?"
"Don't call me that."
"Sorry baby. You were saying." A smile was playing on his lips.
She sighed. "Ok look. Can you stop being such a jerk for one minute please?"
"Oooh I love it when you beg. You know it really turns me on."
"Stop it! I need to talk to you."
"Yeah baby I know what you need." He laughed. Hermione turned around and ran her hands through her hair. She breathed in deeply.
"Okay. Terry, just act mature for five minutes okay? I need to know-"
"How to get laid? No problem I'll show you." He thrust his hips towards her. He laughed again.
"SHUT UP! Just shut up for a second! Please!"
"Okay I'll be quiet…if you suck my dick." The bell rang. Terry looked at the clock on the wall. "Hurry up baby, you're going to make me late." He walked towards her. "So? What do you want baby? Hmmm?" He smirked. "Ahh. I know." He rested his hands on her hips.
"Don't touch me." She stepped back.
"Why?"
"Just don't Terry!" He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Okay, fine. What do you want?" Hermione bit her lip, debating whether or not to ask him. She decided not to.
"Nothing, forget it. Go to class, leave me alone."
Terry's eyes flashed angrily. "Why? You said wanted to see me. In fact you practically begged me to stay and talk to you. If you ask me, that doesn't say that you want to be alone. Quite the contrary actually. So, what do you want?"
Hermione felt very uncomfortable all of the sudden. It was like something in the air changed. No one was in the hall, just her and Terry.
"Okay Terry, I'm sorry. Just leave me alone okay?" She made to leave but Terry grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Hermione gasped. Terry had a look of mock surprise on his face.
"What? What…are you scared of me? Why? You don't think I'd do anything to hurt you would you? Not…the woman carrying my child would I? Huh? Yeah. Listen to me. Are you listening?" He lowered his voice. "I'm not fucking helping you with that baby if that's what you wanted to ask me. I'm not paying for it, I'm not visiting it. I don't care about it. Okay? So leave me alone about the baby. Okay? It's your problem. Not mine. Get it? Not. Mine. Got it? Good." He let go of her. "Now leave me alone. You've made me late."
Hermione breathed in deeply. Terry picked up his books he dropped and started walking away.
"You can't do that."
Terry laughed and turned around and walked backwards. "Yes I can. That fucking baby isn't my problem. It's yours. So, to quote you a couple of minutes before, leave me alone." He turned back around.
Hermione ran her hands in her hair and tried hard not to cry. She shook her head in disbelief. Terry was down the hall by now. She yelled at him.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You can't fucking do that! It's against the law."
She heard Terry sigh out loud. He stopped but didn't turn around.
"Leave me alone Hermione!"
"You're in this just as much as me! You have to help me! It's your fault anyway!"
That got his attention. He turned around and laughed in disbelief.
"What! My fault!" He started walking towards her. "You're the one who should've taken precaution. Not me! You! If there's anyone to blame it's you! Not me! Got it?" He was right in her face. "Now leave me the fuck alone!" He threw his books down in anger.
Hermione didn't back down. "I'm not leaving you alone until you help me. What am I supposed to -"
"Oh SHUT UP! Do you ever fucking shut up! Shut the fuck up! Shut up. Shut your fucking mouth. Shut UP!! What is wrong with you! Leave me alone! God! If you were going to be like this I'd never have fucked you in the first place."
"Oh yeah. Like it's some honor to sleep with you! Yay, Terry Boot actually wants to sleep with me. Like who hasn't? Every time we did it I was counting the seconds down until you'd be finished!"
"Fuck you. You know you loved it." He imitated her. "Oh Terry Oooh."
"Well then you must be the most gullible person I've ever met."
"What, you were faking?"
"Only an idiot would actually think I was serious. Yeah, every time I faked it. In fact-" She didn't get to finish her sentence. Terry slammed her against the wall and pinned her against it. She cried out in pain.
"You don't know what you're talking about Hermione. So you better be quiet, okay?" His voice was deadly calm and his brown eyes gazed deeply into hers. Hermione's eyes widened.
"L-let go of me."
"Why? I mean, if you say that…you were faking every time….maybe…now I'll be able to…pleasure you correctly, no?" He pressed against her.
"Terry…please. Get off me. Please." Terry's hand pressed into her hip. "Baby, I already told you what happens when you beg with me."
Oh God…
****************************
Harry and Ron walked down the halls when they heard the bell ring. It didn't matter though, because Dumbledore and McGonagall had given them permission to skip today's classes. It wasn't going to be a fun day. Today was the only day Hermione would be able to leave. It was lucky it was the Annual Legend's Weekend in Hogsmede. All legendary witches and wizards meet up there and catch up on old times and brag to each other about their accomplishments. Dumbledore was supposed to be there later today, and the carriage that would take him to Hogsmede would be able to take Hermione away to an apparation point so she could apparate to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. Tonks and Lupin were ready for her. McGonagall had sent houseleves to pack up her stuff and Harry and Ron were sent to find Hermione and bring her outside to wait for the carriage.
Only problem was they couldn't find her.
"Mate, we've been walking around for 20 minutes already. Maybe she went up to her room," Ron said.
"No," Harry replied. "Hagrid said she was going to go to class. Now, she wasn't in Defense Against the Dark Arts, so she probably skipped that class. She's probably in second period. Come on, let's go to Charms."
Ron sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets. "If we go to Charms Flitwick is going to ask why we're not there." He shook the hair out of his eyes. "Harry, how did this happen?"
"Well, obviously we keep missing Hermione. I'm sure she's in Charms."
"Not that Harry. Hermione."
"I know. I told you she's probably in Charms." Ron looked at Harry. Harry sighed. "Look Ron, I really don't want to talk about Hermione right now. You have no idea what this is doing to me to know that she's dropping out. I mean, how are we supposed to be a trio with only two? No offense to your sister, but Ginny will never fill Hermione's shoes."
"None taken." The made a turn to the Charms corridor.
"I mean, I guess I…no never mind. I don't know. I don't know why she'd-" Harry stopped short.
"What Harry?"
"Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Shh! Listen."
Loud voices were being echoed off the corridor walls.
"Oh yeah. Like it's some honor to sleep with you! Yay, Terry Boot…."
"That sounds like Hermione." Ron told Harry. Harry frowned. "Come one," he said and started walking towards the voices.
Ron pulled Harry back. "Whoa. Harry mate. I don't know about you, but if those two are fighting I don't think I want to be caught in the middle of it. Best just to stay here and wait for them to finish."
Harry listened to what they were saying. "Yeah, every time I faked it. In fact-" Then it got quiet. Harry couldn't hear anything. "What happened? I don't hear them arguing anymore. Where are they?"
"They're probably around the corner, because I don't see them."
"I don't either. It's too quiet. Do you think..?" Harry trailed off.
"Yeah, Harry I think. Look, Harry, leave them alone. You've fought with Ginny plenty of times." Harry looked sharply at Ron. "Er, I mean, you know when people are fighting to leave them alone. And if I know those two, they're probably 'making up' right now as we speak."
Harry didn't say anything. Ron was probably right. Hermione hadn't learned her lesson. Harry sighed and leaned against the wall. Ron didn't say anything and neither did Harry. Ron cracked his knuckles.
"...please…"
Harry looked up. "Did you hear that?" "What my knuckles? Yeah." "No not that. It sounded like someone said please." Ron scoffed and muttered under his breath, "C'mon Hermione, where's your pride."
Harry started to get nervous. "I'll be right back." He jogged down the hall.
"No, Harry stop!" Ron jogged up to him. "Look, I know what they're doing, and…"
They turned the corner.
"...I don't-"
Ron stopped short and stared at the sight before him. Terry looked up and pushed off of Hermione and bent down to pick up his books.
"What the fuck were you doing?"
Terry snorted. "Nothing you would know much about Harry." He said to Hermione, "I'll see you later baby, and remember what I said. Okay?" He started to walk off but Harry followed him. Ron looked at Hermione, who had a look of shock on her face.
"Are you okay Hermione?" Ron asked softly. Hermione turned her head to him and nodded. Ron started towards her when they both heard Harry yell,
"I SAID WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING WITH HER!"
Ron and Hermione both turned their heads toward Harry.
Terry laughed at Harry and was about to walk off when for the second time that week Harry's fist met Terry's jaw, and once again, Terry crashed to the ground.
"Whoa! Harry mate, stop!" Ron ran towards his friend and held Harry back.
"NEVER FUCKING TOUCH HER AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME? LEAVE HER ALONE!"
Terry stood up. "You know Harry," he said calmly, "I would check with Hermione for the whole story before you come and throw your fists around." He glanced over at Hermione. "Maybe if she wasn't just begging me to help her, then none of this would've happened." He picked up his books and walked off, wiping his chin and checking for blood.
Harry whirled around. "What is he talking about? Why would you go talkto him Hermione?"
Hermione shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry okay?
I-"
"Why would you even want to talk to him?"
"I-"
"I mean, maybe I was wrong. Maybe Ginny was right. Maybe you are stupid."
"Harry-" Ron warned.
"No Ron." Harry stepped towards Hermione. "I know I said you were stupid, but I never actually believed that you were." He shook his head. "Merlin Mione. How can you be so smart, but so stupid at the same time?" Hermione didn't answer.
Harry sighed. "Come on. Dumbledore is looking for you. You're leaving." He walked off and left them behind.
"Don't worry about him Mione. He's just mad, you know? He doesn't mean it. I mean, you know how Harry is right? Always hot-tempered, never thinking things through. I mean, that's just how Harry is. He doesn't mean it. You got to believe that. Mione?"
Hermione sighed. "Yeah I know. But you know what, he's right."
"About what?" They started walking and Hermione crossed her arms and looked up towards the ceiling.
"About how stupid I am." And no amount of encouraging Ron gave her made her change her mind.
*********************************
Harry and Ron lifted Hermione's trunk into the carriage with ease. Hermione climbed in. Harry stood on the floorboard.
"Hermione, I'm-"
"Harry it's okay. Really, you're right. I have been pretty stupid."
Harry looked down and smiled. "Just a bit."
Hermione smiled and ruffled his hair. "I'll see you later okay?" Harry kissed her cheek. "Bye Mione. Say hi to Tonks and Lupin for me."
"Bye Mione!"
"Bye Ron."
"Bye Hermione." Harry stepped off the carriage, and watched it leave until it was nothing but a black speck on the horizon.
Hermione cried the whole trip to Grimmauld Place.
**********************************
"Hey Hermione!" Of course Tonks would be happy to see Hermione. She was alone at the Headquarters. Lupin had been gone for a while. He had to do duty at Azkaban and question Voldemort's former Death Eaters.
"Hey Tonks." She jumped out of the carriage and looked around.
"Well…I guess you're with me for the next uh…couple of months?"
Hermione laughed. "Believe me Tonks, it's going to be a bit longer than that."
I know I know before all y'all start, this chapter sucked I know. But, I just needed to get this chapter out so I could start with the good stuff. And I'm sorry it took so long to get out, but updates will come quicker. I'm really excited about what's to come! Well review and hope you enjoyed it! (Oh and I kind of stole the Legend's Weekend from Oprah's Legend's Weekend.)
