Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Hermione leaned back in her chair. The enormity of what was before her overwhelmed her. Theo was not only cheating on her, but was basically leading another life and had been for the past five years. She was so stunned, she was numb. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to process this. She looked at her watch. It was just after 10 am and she had been in her office for a little over an hour.
She spun her chair around, looking out the window at the street below. Strangely, a part of her felt relief. She would be completely justified in divorcing him and no longer felt an ounce of guilt for cheating on him with Draco. After all, he had been cheating on her for years.
Taking a deep breath, she turned her chair back around and stared down at the notebooks. She flipped open the one that she had already determined to be the oldest and read the first entry;
Little Minx,
Use this diary to communicate with me. Our journals are connected. When you write an entry, I can read it in my journal. When I respond, you can read what I have written. I expect you to write at least one entry per day. I might not write a response daily, but rest assured, my precious little minx, that I am reading. Be sure to cast the spell I showed you so that no one else can read it. I know you don't want your husband discovering our little secret any more that I want my wife. Write an entry tonight, this is not a request.
Master
The response was on the same page.
Master,
Thank you for this lovely gift of communication. The thought that I can write to you and have a way of connecting with you gives me great pleasure. I hate it that I see you so rarely. The secrecy of our situation demands it, but it's still so very hard. It was so much easier when your wife was working late hours. I will write to you every evening and dream of when I am with you again.
I am so happy we have reconnected after so many years. Even though we hadn't seen each other in over three years, it felt like home when I ran into you at the library. Remember all those nights in the Hogwarts Library? It's a wonder we were never caught. It feels right to be yours again, well...in truth...I always was. I may have married another, but I will always be yours.
D
Hermione flipped a couple pages forward.
Little Minx,
You were a very good witch today and I'm pleased you worked out a way to come to me. I can slip away from WLP as needed. The rooms you have secured for us are perfect. I would like you there again on Wednesday at 1pm sharp. I will give you further instructions in a later entry.
Master
Master,
Today was heavenly. Thank you for listening to me and allowing me to vent my insecurities and frustrations. You are such a tolerant Master. I am feeling much better and I respect that your marriage is important to you and will not ask you to run away with me again. The fact that you are willing to decrease how much intimacy you have with her is enough. And, most importantly, the fact that you have promised to only be my Dominant. You were mine first. I trust that you will do as you have promised.
Yours,
D
Hermione closed the notebook. It was all falling into place. This "D" was someone he had been with at Hogwarts. For whatever reason they had stopped seeing each other and in the interim Theo had met and married Hermione. She remembered, once again, that it was after about two years of marriage that everything changed. She had been working long hours for about three months on securing ministry representation for all magical beings. That must have been when Theo reconnected with this woman. Then over the course of the next six months or so, Theo had gradually pulled back from Hermione. They had sex less frequently until it became a Saturday night ritual. Hermione felt rage building up inside of her. Theo had changed his treatment of her at the request of this other woman. She wanted to know who this 'D' was. The only D she could think of was Daphne Greengrass. She had been in Slytherin and in Theo's year as well. Which meant she was also in Hermione's year. She was also the older sister of Draco's x-wife, Astoria.
She slammed the notebook closed and stood up. She started pacing as she ran her hands through her hair. How could Theo have done this? They had still been really happy when he started his affair. Granted she had been working a lot for a period of time, but for him to have started cheating on her, he must not have been as happily married as she was. Maybe he loved her. Maybe he had always loved this other witch and it had nothing to do with you. Her mind started to spin with scenarios and possible reasons for why he strayed. It hurt. She couldn't deny that she was crushed. She started shaking and slid to the floor, tears streaming down her face. Sobs erupted from her as she laid on the cool hard wood floor behind her desk. Suddenly she felt like she wasn't alone. She pushed herself up and looked towards the pull. Theo was standing in the doorway of her office, his face stricken.
He swallowed as his eyes darted from the journals on her desk and back to her. He stepped towards her.
"Don't you dare!" She screeched at him. "How could you? You're a bloody, fucking bastard." Suddenly she was on her feet and lunged at him, hitting him over and over again on the chest. He just stood there and took it.
His voice was shaky. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry, kitten."
She stepped back from him, pushing against his chest. "Get out! Get out!" She demanded.
He didn't move. She continued stepping back from him until she bumped into her desk. Her eyes then slowly came up to meet his. Her voice suddenly weak, shaky. "How could you, Theo? Why?"
He stood there, watching her, pain evident as silent tears began rolling down his cheeks. "I've loved you since our first date, Hermione." He swallowed and paused. "But, but I love her, too."
Hermione felt like the wind had been knocked out of her. He loved this other woman. It didn't matter that two hours ago Hermione had decided to divorce this man and had even decided that she didn't really need to know if he had been cheating. This was a betrayal that hurt unlike anything she had imagined. It wasn't just sex. He LOVED this other woman. It was the ultimate betrayal.
She slumped and her eyes fell the floor. He stepped towards her and grabbed her, pulling her to him. He held her tight. Hermione didn't move. She didn't cry, she didn't wrap her arms around him. She was frozen, hardly comprehending his presence or the fact he was holding her as the finality and reality of it all overwhelmed her.
After a couple minutes, she realized he was holding her. He was stroking her head with his hand as his other rubbed her back. Her voice was strong and commanding. "Theo, get your disgusting hands off me."
Theo stepped back from her. She took a deep breath and looked up at him. Her face no longer showed a hint of sadness. She was all business. "Who is D, Theo?"
He swallowed. "Daphne...Daphne Pucey. You...you knew her as Greengrass."
Hermiome nodded. "You dated her at Hogwarts?"
He nodded.
"You've been with her for five of our seven years?" Her voice remained strong, her expression calm.
He swallowed heavily. "Off and on. I broke it off twice and she broke it off once." He paused and she didn't say anything. "I felt so guilty for...cheating on you. I hated myself for it." His voice was small, meek. He looked broken.
She nodded. She didn't say anything, but she knew that guilt. Up until this morning she had harbored the same guilt. As her rational mind began to take over from her emotional one, she could see that he was hurting. It pleased her.
"I would appreciate it if you could stay away from our residence for the day. Give me until 8pm to get my belongings shrunk and put into boxes. You can keep Bernie, he was yours before we met."
Theo slid to the floor on his knees and grabbed her calves. His voice shaky, his expression desperate, "Kitten, please. Don't leave me."
Her voice held a monotone disinterest. "I'll be out by 8pm and I'll file for divorce on Monday." With that, she stepped away from him, walked out of her office and walked away from her marriage.
9pm, Grimmauld Place
"Mione, are you sure you're ok?" Hermione smiled at her three dear friends. Harry, Ron and Ginny were watching her with concern on their faces and love in their eyes.
She smiled at them. "Honestly, I'm fine. I've been unhappily married for so long, that I'm actually starting to feel relief over everything else. It...it was a shock and he...the fact that he betrayed me for.." she paused and shook her head in disbelief, "he betrayed me for so many years." She let out a laugh that held no humor or joy in it, only disbelief. "I have only myself to blame. I should have known, I should have questioned him five years ago when things started to change. But...but, I just thought we were evolving. I thought...well..it doesn't matter."
Ginny moved over to Hermione's chair and wiggled in next to her, hugging her tightly. "We love you so much, Mione. We will always be your family, no matter if or who you are married to. You will always have us."
Harry and Ron moved over to the witches and wrapped their arms around them...the four of them sharing a big group hug. Hermione felt warmth spread through her. She smiled as a tear fell down her right cheek. It wasn't a tear of sadness, but a tear of love and appreciation for her dear friends.
This was a short chapter. I just felt like it was the right place to end. More will be revealed about Theo and Daphne in future chapters. Draco will be in the next chapter as well. Thanks again for reading a reviewing. :)
