It was the day of her engagement to Malfoy. She was all dressed up in a light blue silk dress that graced her full body with frills and matching jewelry. She looked so beautiful that day. Hermione cursed herself for not being able to see the pain in her daughter’s eyes that was now being exposed as her daughter sat all alone in front of the mirror on the dressing table in Malfoy manor where the party was going on. She knew it was the time she had left her daughter alone for a few minutes on that day. She saw Mike enter the room as Rose looked thoughtfully at her bracelet. It was probably a gift from Mike. She gasped as she registered his presence in the room.
“So you are still going to go ahead with your plan?” he asked bitterly.
Rose raised her chin in defiance, “Go away Michael, this is a special day for me and what I do with my life is no longer your business.”
Michael sneered, “Not my business! Then why the hell did you keep hounding me to marry you? Why do you still wear the bracelet that I gave you as a gift? Why are you still going to keep my child if you are going to marry another man?”
Rose looked at him shocked, “How did you know about that?”
Michael scoffed, “You forget that I too have access to Peter’s home. I was there when you gave that passionate speech to Peter about your love for our child and how he must not come between us. I even heard your revenge plan. I never thought that you would hate me so much as to destroy my life like this. I have told you a hundred times Rose, I don’t want a child because I am not ready to be a father. And this is not because the child is yours. Even if Peter were to adopt a child tomorrow I would say the same thing. Why can’t you understand such a simple thing? I loved you but now I am in love with Peter. And I don’t want this child. I want my life back!”
Rose smirked, “Really Michael, Love! what do you know about love? You are nothing but a selfish man. Only a selfish man can say the words that you have said. On one hand you say you love Peter and on the other hand you want me to kill our baby. How can you say that? If your heart knows love then the thought of killing your child should render you speechless and shocked. Like I felt when you first suggested that I abort our child. You do not have a heart Michael, because if you did and it beat for your loved ones then you would have found the strength to face your father and tell him the truth rather than lose our child.”
Michael shook his head in frustration, “I guess there is no arguing with you then. Fine, then I shall tell Mr Malfoy the truth. Which by the way he will know anyway. Do you think he is so stupid to not notice the fact that you would be showing too soon after you get married. He will know that the child is not his. I am going to tell him the truth now so that this sham of a relationship will stop and maybe I will talk with your mother as well. Then we will see who wants to keep the baby.” He grit his teeth in anger but Rose simply smiled.
“Go ahead and tell him. See if he believes you. He likes my mother a lot. He would never believe your story. Besides he is an honorable man who will stick by his commitment no matter what. He is not a coward like you. And my mom already knows about the baby, she thinks it is Malfoy’s and I will never say otherwise. She will definitely believe me.”
Michael scoffed, “I can see that motherhood had made you a very cruel woman indeed Rose. Or else why would you be okay with trapping an innocent man in this game of revenge against me. You’re also ready to hurt your parents when they find out that the baby is mine. This is not the Rose I fell in love with. You talk about love and courage. Where is your courage? Why can’t you tell your mother the truth? Why won’t you admit to your parents that this baby is not a love child but a mistake! One that you are bent on committing?”
Rose looked at him stunned as she began to understand the repercussions of her actions on other people’s lives. She stayed quiet for a moment before she began to sob quietly. She rubbed her tears away after a few seconds and looked at him with anger, “I… I never wanted to hurt anyone in my life but by God I want to kill you right now. Look what you have made me. All I wanted was to have a nice family with you but because of you, here I am, lying to my mother and getting married to a man I have no feelings for. All because of you. But you are right. I cannot let someone else pay for my mistake. I will stop this engagement. I will tell my mother the truth. Thank you Michael. You showed me how selfishly I was behaving. I will stop this craziness right now.” She sniffed and cleaned her tears away with a soft cloth.
Michael looked hopefully at her, “Does that mean you will not have this child?”
Rose looked at him and smiled sadly, “No Michael. Unlike you, I love our child. I cannot wait to see its eyes and smile and see what a beautiful life we have made. But don’t worry you will not have to be there for him or her.”
Michael shook his fists and head in frustration and shouted, “Rose, Rose Rose! Why can’t you understand that you cannot have this child! The Shacklebolt family has a magical tapestry in its house which will show its existence. And when my father comes to know that I have fathered a child, he will make me marry you and own it. My life will be destroyed. I will have to take its responsibility which I don’t want to!”
Rose glared at him and spoke in a low voice filled with anger, “Then I guess Michael, you will have to man up and tell your father the truth. Because there is no way I am going to abort my child. She or he will live and be known as a Weasley. The child will know his or her grandparents and will be loved like any other kid on this planet. Maybe you will realise its worth afterwards but for now please go and leave me alone. I have to go now and apologize and explain my actions to many people.” She pointed him to go towards the door and moved back to face the mirror and comb her hair.
Michael seethed in anger. His magic began to produce static through his hair and he gritted his teeth in anger. He took a step back and spoke in a cruel way, “I have been patient till now but I have now realized that you will not change your mind. You are hell bent to make my life miserable. I will not let this happen. Only this child stands between me and my happiness. I will destroy it if you don’t!”
Rose turned back to him in shock and replied, “What are you saying Michael? Go right now or else I will call for everyone and then you will regret coming here.”
Michael seemed beyond reasoning and took out his wand and spoke a spell aiming it at her womb. As soon as Rose saw his wand she frantically searched for her wand with her eyes. She was rooted to the ground in fear. A sharp light drew from the wand and flew towards Rose. She screamed and turned at the last minute and the light hit her heart instead of her stomach. She clutched her heart and fell crying out Michael’s name.
Michael who was standing there in shock moved towards her with wide eyes and trembling lips. He caught her as she fell to the ground. He placed her in his lap and cried, “Rose! Why did you move? I only wanted to stop the child from growing. Now the spell has hit your heart. Why Rose? Why? Why would you want to bring my father into this?”
Still in tremendous pain Rose answered, “I meant… my… parents when I… said grandparents Michael… I don’t… I am… Going. Mom… Take care..uggh…” She clutched her heart as Michael thought furiously about any reverse spells he could cast. He wanted to apparate her to the hospital but he did not know if he should. He looked towards the door thinking about calling for help but by then Rose was taking her last breaths. She lifted her hand to touch his face, gave him a small smile and took her last breath. By then the spell had started to affect her entire body as it grew still and began to dry and wrinkle as life seeped out. Michael hugged her tightly crying, “No, no, no, no… Rose no, I only wanted to stop the child not you… come back please…. Rose! Rose!”
He held her still body going numb as he realized what he had done. He had killed his best friend and his child. He was a murderer. Just then he heard the sound of footsteps and laughter. Scared and trembling with fear he apparated then and there leaving Rose on the floor.
He apparated to his room in his flat and began to shake in fear. He took out a full bottle of firewhisky and drank it till he emptied it. The result was that he could not sense if he had done the things he had done or was he dreaming. He cried and cried the whole time clutching the stuffed Hippograff that Rose had given him as a gift. He locked his room and silenced his room and cried his heart out. He had never meant to harm Rose. He had been desperate and wanted to abort his child and so he had learnt a spell he found in an old spell book from Egypt. He did not know if the spell would work or not as he was not fluent in the language. He was fraught with worry and had taken that extreme action to free himself of this responsibility. Fear gripped his heart and he moved into survival mode. All he knew was he had to escape and not get caught.
The next few hours passed with him trembling and shaking in denial when his father knocked his door and asked him to come down. He had to take a big dose of pepper up potion to keep his nerves calm. As his father delivered the news he cried …really cried this time with true grief over his actions. He was glad he did not have to hide his feelings of grief over his actions.
Hermione gasped as she saw the scene and moved back out of his brain. Michael had fallen unconscious as soon as she broke the barrier to his most secret memory. She took deep breaths as she tried to comprehend what she had just seen. Draco caught her as she felt faint. Scorpio pushed Michael on a chair while Harry bound him with ropes using incarcerous spell. They all attended to Hermione as Scorpious brought her a chair to sit while Draco gave her some water and Harry fanned her with some parchments. Hermione struggled to control her emotions as they were running high filled with anger, grief, shock, anxiety and helplessness as she had just witnessed her daughter’s death.
