Hermione undressed slowly. Salazar hadn’t arrived yet. She hoped he didn’t forget. She wasn’t sure she could even sleep alone anymore. Unfortunately, now she would have to. She was so used to his being there next to her; her parents’ ultimatum resounded in her ears. Going on without him…it seemed impossible. They had promised to be together forever, to never let anything get between them. Breaking that promise broke her heart. How would Salazar take it? She didn’t have a clue as to what his reaction could be. Or even how she would tell him. There was a pop and she turned around. Salazar stood before her, “Sorry I’m late I…” the rest of his apology was cut short as her lips covered his in a deep kiss.

            She pushed him toward her bed, pulling his shirt off in the process. “I missed you, Salazar,” she whispered.

            “I missed you too,” he breathed, watching as she practically tore off his pants, “but I was playing chess with Dad and lost track of time.”

            “Don’t care,” she straddled him, “I love you. Don’t ever think I don’t, Salazar. I can never stop loving you.”

            “I know,” he whispered, leaning up to kiss her again, “I know, Hermione. I do.” She cried into his shoulder. Surprised at this turn of events, he just held her. He gently soothed her, caressing her back gently. “What’s wrong?”

            “My parents…they want me to stay here in the Muggle world. They don’t want me to go learn from the master in France. They want me to stay here in England with them.”

            Salazar continued to gently massage her. He wasn’t sure what was going on, to be honest. But he would stay quiet, listen, and try to comfort her as much as he was able. Hermione finally took a deep breath and continued, “They want me to go to dental school, like they did. They…” she buried her head in his neck and cried. He just held onto her. “Salazar they want me to date a…a Muggle. Someone that they can understand and relate to.”

            “Hermione…”

            “They do like you, Salazar. But they don’t understand the Wizarding world. They want a life for me that they understand.”

            “Are you…breaking up with me?”

            Hermione pulled away, “I get you for this one night. Then I…if I still want my parents in my life…”

            Salazar looked down at the ground. She wanted him to be with her tonight but she wouldn’t be with him anymore? He couldn’t do that. He loved her. She loved him. They were meant to be together. “No.”

            “Wh-what?”

            “No. I won’t be a one night stand. I love you, Hermione. We’re meant to be together. We’re getting married!” He stood up, “I can’t let you go like this. Not without a fight. I can’t walk away from you. And it’s so cruel to force you into a decision between me and them, but how could you choose them? You wanted to get married to me. To start a family with me.”

            “Salazar…they’re my parents. I owe them.”

            “You owe them nothing, Hermione.”

            “I can’t choose you over them. I can’t. They’ve always been there for me.”

            “And I haven’t? I’m always by your side. I love you. I support you. I encourage you. I…” Salazar stood up. “I’m not letting this end.”

            “Salazar…” Hermione stood, “I…”

            Salazar walked to the opposite end of her bedroom, closing his eyes. “Hermione, we promised one another!”

            “Do you think this is easy for me? Do you think it isn’t killing me to make this decision?” She broke down, crying. Salazar swallowed and finally looked at her. This was the woman he knew better than anyone else, and he could see the pain in her eyes and on her face. He could feel the suffering she was going through, having to tell him this. He kneeled next to the bed and hugged her. Hermione cried against his shoulder.

            “You’re choosing wrong,” he whispered, rubbing her back. “I would choose you, Hermione. If my parents were callous enough to put me in this position, I would choose you. I love you, Hermione. I want to marry you. I want to be with you the rest of my life. But if you don’t feel that same devotion and passion,” Hermione broke down crying, causing Salazar to stop. He wanted more than anything to calm her, to reassure her that they were going to be okay. He could feel his heart breaking at the thought of being apart from her, “How could they do this to you?”

            She shook her head, unable to speak. Salazar tried to comfort her, to stop her tears; everything he tried seemed to fail. So he just held her, trying be a rock for her. Hermione finally calmed down and caressed his cheek, “They’re my parents,” she whispered.

            “And I’m your soul mate,” he responded, tightening his hold around her.

            “I love you.”

            “I love you too,” He kissed her softly, “I want you to choose me, but I would never ask you to choose between me and them. So I won’t,” he pulled away and stood up, “I want to fight for the woman that wants to fight for me.” He found his clothes and put them back on. Hermione got up and wrapped her arms around him, “Hermione…”

            “I…I don’t want to lose you.”

            “That’s not up to me, it’s up to you. I promised you that I would always only be with you. I’m keeping my promise. Are you?”

            Hermione looked at him, her eyes puffy and red from her crying. “I don’t know,” she answered.

            “Don’t expect me to fight for you,” he said, “don’t expect me to rescue you at the last moment. This is your decision.” Salazar leaned down to kiss her sweetly, “I want you. If you want me then what more is necessary?”

            Hermione ran her hand over his chest, “I want you, Salazar. But they’re my parents…”

            “Then I’m wasting my time being here,” he took the engagement ring from her finger before he pulled away and Disapparated. Hermione collapsed on her bed, crying. The missing ring on her finger hurt her more than she’d expected.
