Hermione apparated to Cho's clinic along with Draco. Ginny was happy to find the both of them together. After kissing Draco and hugging him, her pain had disappeared completely but Draco insisted on meeting Cho. He did not want to take any chances with the babies. So Hermione agreed to go. As she got ready Ginny barged in to help herans then laughed and teased her as she saw the bite marks and hickies Draco left on Hermione. Red with shame Hermione scolded her to stop which only further amused Ginny.
Once they reached the clinic Cho met them. She saw their closeness and also noticed that they were smiling. She commented on that as soon as they met her. Hermione blushed but Draco,told Cho about them soul-bonding. Cho smiled and said, "See Hermione, you should have kissed him earlier. I told you you would know once you did that. I had a suspicion that maybe you both had soul bonded but since your first kiss was not a complete kiss, the bond kept pushing you till you did so. Now you know why you kept having those dreams. It was probably the bond showing you the future so that you will act on your feelings. I am glad you met your soul mate. It is a very rare thing to find."
Hermione nodded and agreed, "I know now Cho, I have never felt like this about anybody. I am really lucky that way. I feel so much peace in me now." Draco agreed with her. Cho smiled and asked Hermione to lay on the bed so that she could continue her check up. Everything looked great and with the heartbeats clear, she gave a clean chit for the babies health. Hermione though had more questions for Cho.
She asked her, "Cho, you have studied Divination, does it deal with soul bonds? I also wanted to know why did Draco and I not feel the bond when we were in school? In Hogwarts we were seeing each other every day and yet I never felt love for him." Cho sat on her chair and gave it some thought, "Divination is more about the future and prophecies. It deals more with what the creator has planned for us. Soul bonds can be known if a seer sees a soul bond in an individual's future. Other than that it does not say much about it. And Hermione I think that you did have feelings for Draco. Tell me who did you hate in school the most?" Hermione looked at Draco and she then asked Draco, "Which witch did you trouble most in school?" Draco looked at Hermione.
Cho smile satisfied, "See you did have strong feelings for each other but they were negative feelings. Imagine if Hermione had been a pure blood, Draco I am betting that you would have approached her in the second year itself. Smililarly Hermione, had Draco been in Gryfindorr , you would have be friended him as well. All you needed was a neutral environment for your positive feelings to come to fore. Once you had that and the kiss, you soul bond was complete." Hermione nodded impressed with Cho's theory. Draco looked satisfied as well.
Cho looked at Draco and asked, "So Draco, does Astoria know about your soul bond with Hermione? How is she taking the news of the three babies?"
Draco looked uncomfortable and looking at Hermione, who encouraged him, he took a deep breath and told Cho the truth, "Cho, the truth is that Astoria has been missing since we came to know about the babies and their parentage. Father was right about her. She was planning something big which would damage our reputation which I have built for fifteen years now. I have been trying to find her and have failed so far. I do not want to involve the aurors because then the truth about the babies will also come out. Hermione is already having a tough time being divorced and being away from her children. So I am looking for her on my own. I know how much you value confidentiality and that is why I have no problem telling you this. I intend to divorce her once she is found. I have proof that she did mug up the procedure to get Hermione pregnant. I just need to know where to find her." He told her looking dejected.
Cho stared at the couple unable to decide. Finally she spoke, "You know when people are frightened they always run to people they know the best. They could be their relaives or their parents, even childhood friends. You should look for her there. Maybe she is staying with one of them. Besides, even if I knew where she was, as she is my patient I cannot tell you that. So best of luck and hope you can read between the lines. I need to go now. Hermione call me if you need anything and your next appointmet will be when you complete your fourth month. Okay? Bye then, I need to attend to my next patient."Saying that Cho almost ran from the room.
Hermione looked at her as she left. Draco too looked puzzled until Hermione spoke, "Such an odd thing to say, 'read between the lines'.What would that mean?"
Draco agreed, "Yes, I have never heard of that phrase. Is it a muggle one and what does it mean?"
Hermione's eyes grew wide, "It means there is more information in the words that she spoke. She did say that Astoria might be staying with her relatives, parents and friends. We checked with all of those right? And she also said that if Astoria is her patient then she cannot divulge the information. Draco! It might mean that Cho has seen Astoria but her doctor patient confidentiality agreement stops her from saying where she is."
Draco raised his eyebrows in amazement, " Merlin! You catch up fast! So we need to find out if she has friends that we do not know of because we have checked her parents's house, all her relatives are out of England and her friends that I know of are not sheltering her. So there must be someone I do not know about. Right! I know the person I need to go to then. Once we reach home I can leave to meet her."
Hermione nodded and spoke, " About that....Draco I need to find a new place. I cannot have you coming to Harry's house at odd times and I would feel really awkward if they heard us or saw us doing things...so may be we should wait for sometime and see each other less...." Her voice lowered as she spoke her suggestion because even she knew she would not agree with that.
Draco smiled and replied, "I agree and we have a new place, my flat. Honestly Hermione it wouldnt make sense to buy or rent a place away from each other since we will have to raise our kids together. If we could spend time together in my flat till our children are born, dont you think Harry would not have to worry about you as our home is connected to his through floo? Also your house is yet to be sold and I know you will not let me help you buy a new one. So please listen to me, what I am suggesting is the best option we have. Lets live together in my flat till I get divorced or our chidlren are born. Then you can buy a house that you like."
Hermione thought for a minute. Rose and Hugo would not be coming home for another five months and till then she would probably give birth. Renting a place for herself would be a waste of money as she would want to spend time with Draco as much as possible so she would end up being in the flat more than her rented place. The flat had more than three bedrooms and so she knew they would be more than comfortable there. So she agreed and Draco happily kissed her for saying yes.
Astoria moved her head from Adrian's chest as she saw the sunlight stream through the glassroof of the room they were in. Adrian has kissed her back and made love to her for long hours through the night after she had hugged him in the painting room. She smiled as she recalled that he had to conjure a mattress and blankets to cover themsleves as they were too tired to go back to their bedroom. She sat up and caressed Adrian's face to move the blond locks that fell across his forehead. She stretched smiling at the fresh morning air came into the room and then froze.
She got up quickly and took deep breaths to calm herself. She realised that after almost twenty years she had spent an entire day and night without thinking about David. She had been so lost in her life that she forgot about her revenge and her promise to make the Malfoys pay for what they did. Sensing her absence from his side Adrian woke up to find Astoria's conflicted emotions on her face. Worried he went to her but she moved away from him and went out of the room crying. Adrian followed her to their bedroom but Astoria had locked it.
Adrian banged on it and called out her name but Astoria did not reply. He got frustrated and left her to go to the drawing hall. There he opened the liquor cabinet and started to drink. He realized as he gulped his alcohol that it had been weeks since he had more than five pegs. He had given up his habit of drinking because of his focus being on Astoria. He snorted as he thought himself a fool to fall for a woman who would never love him like he loved her. She was still in love with David who was dead and gone for twenty years. He could not understand how to get his Astoria back. He shook his head to forget his pain and finished his bottle of firewhisky before opening another one.
Astoria stood by the window hoping that the banging would stop. She could not face Adrian. She knew she wont be able to tell him how she felt when she woke up. She knew how much Adrian loved her. He had given up on life because of her and yet here she was grieving David and why shouldnt she? He was a lovely man who loved her so much, respected her so much that he never forced her to be intimate with him. He pampered her with gifts and held her when she had lost one of her muggle friend in Ravenclaw. He was a sensitive man who wanted to make sure that she was never sad. Adrian was like that too but she knew she wont be able to share a future with him. Once her revenge against the Malfoys was over she would probably end up in Azkaban and she did not want Adrian to get attached so much that he would do something damaging to himself when she will be gone. She loved David and David alone. She would love him forever. He was her perfect man.
Draco kissed her breasts as he slid inside her slowly. Hermione let out a gasp at the delicious feeling. She felt so happy when they were together like this. She forgot the world and everything in it. She ran her fingers through his hair pulling him more towards her breast. Draco nipped it slightly making her shiver with lust. They had returned from the hospital to Harry's house and told the Potters what had happened. Hermione and Draco were really upset when they came to know that all present on that day knew that they both had soul bonded but did not think it prudent to tell them. Hermione scolded Harry and Ginny for keeping things from her. However when she told them that she was moving in with Draco they both were very supportive. Especially Harry who did not want to see them kissing so eagerly again. Hermione had packed her things and left with Draco saying goodbyes to her friends. As soon as they arrived in Draco's flat, he kissed her and picked up a squealing Hermione to their bedroom and began to ravish her in a hurry. Clothes ripped off and mouths meeting eagerly, their bodies were smashed against eachother. It was only once they were joined at the core that he felt a calm come over him. They spent an hour leisurely loving each other before Hermione reminded him that he needed to find Astoria. Draco reluctantly got ready and left Hermione who promised to take care of herself while he promised to come back within the hour.
Pansy was getting ready for her tea party when she heard Draco call her name. She immediately came to the drawing hall and was surprised to see him floo call from his manor. She asked him to come to her house and he did. It was her old manor and she was excited to see him. They hugged before Pansy asked about Astoria. Draco knew that Astoria did not tell much to Pansy as she was a notorious gossip. Instead he asked more about her life and then asked about Daphne's friends who were in their classes. Pansy named a few but Draco did not know them much.
"So I was thinking of inviting all of Astoria's old friends to her birthday which is in two months so I wanted to know if there are any friends that she would like to call. I am keeping this a secret. Astoria is much too shrewd to not make out that I am trying to get her friends list if I ask her. Can you help me with that Pansy?"
Pansy thought for a while and replied, " Well most of her friends are here so I can make a list for you that should not be a problem. I am guessing you dont want Daphne to know as well and that is why you are coming to me? Merlin! Draco what a sweet husband you are! All her friends were in Hogwarts. Oh but do decide if you want to call Adrian Pucey. He is still not socialising if you know what I mean. He is such a drunk. Five years ago Blaise invited him to his party and he threw such a tantrum when he was refused a drink. Merlin! Blaise was most embarrassed because of his behaviour. Since then Adrian has not been seen. He was Astoria's best friend before the war started, then he went underground. They were the thickest of friends when they were just kids. People thought that they would make a perfect couple but that was before David and then....you...." Pansy stopped realising that she was talking about a touchy subject.
Draco looked at her and asked, "When did Adrian Pucey start drinking so heavily? I remember he was at my wedding and left without congratulating me. He was drunk even then."
Pansy looked at him a bit scared, " He was drinking before your wedding. He had returned after the war and when he found that Astoria had moved on with David, he lost it. He loved her a lot but David had hypnotised Astoria with his gentlemanly behaviour. She never went back to Adrian."
Draco nodded and thanked Pansy. He was conflicted about visiting Adrian. His heart told him that maybe he might help him but his mind was telling that he would probably be mad at him for coming to him for Astoria. He did not know how he should confront Adrian about Astoria. He flooed back to the manor and from there to his flat. Hermione hugged him and they both sat on the sofa as he narrated what had happend till now. Hermione was sympathetic about his situation and also have him an idea. He thanked her and set to work on it.
Adrian was drinking his third bottle when Astoria came to him. Seeing the empty bottles of liquor in front of him she told him to stop drinking. He smiled and told her that this was his house and he could do as he pleased, "Besides its not like I have anybody to live for. David...now David was a lucky man. He got something people rarely find in relationships, true love and loyalty. I am happy you are so loyal to him. I hope you get what you want in your life Astoria because I sure as hell wont."
Astoria bit her delicate lower lip to stop herself from crying. She wanted to tell Adrian that she had feelings for him but she did not want to destroy him more than she already had indirectly. "Just what do you think you can achieve by drinking so much Adrian? Why destroy your life like this? This relationship between us will never work! I love David!" She screamed.
Adrian threw his glass away and laughed, "I know! I know! Believe me I know! You love David! DAVID who is dead and yet you cant let go of him! Then why should I let go of the person I love? If you cant give up loving a dead person, why the hell should I stop loving my love who by the way is very much alive and in front of me!" Adrian shouted at her making her feel all the more guilty. "I will live as I want. I HAVE SURVIVED TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT YOU TORI! AND I CAN SURVIVE ANOTHER TWENTY. So please stop worrying about me because if there is anything that I have realised these few months is that I can never get you to love me. So dont worry I have given up on you. You will not be bothered again. Please have your dinner. I will be going out now."
Astoria looked at him shocked at his reply. She did not know what to do to stop him from going because she knew that she was losing the one person who loved her in this whole world, when even her parents had not loved her enough to understand her pain about David. She was scared because she realized finally that she was going to be all alone in this world now. As she moved to touch him Lily the house elf came in and asked the master, "Master, a Mr.Draco Malfoy has come to see you. Shall I send him in?"
