Hi Lovlies,
I'm back! I'm sorry its taken me so long to get this next chapter up. We've been going through our busiest time at work and its been crazy. I wanted to post a chapter when Alan Rickman died as a sort of tribute to him but then on the same day we had to put our dog down and that just destroyed me for a time. I would like to extend a special thank you to "its been ages" who is a guest reviewer who finally propelled me into action when they told me that it had been forever since I'd posted a chapter and they had been checking for a new chapter daily. That sort of commitment to this story was inspirational to me so thank you!
I hope you enjoy it. Some big changes this way come.

Malfoy had had to carry Hermione back up to their apartment the second time around. She was so angry, so filled with rage. How dare Ginny come here under the guise of trying to find her and swear to marry Zabini and be loyal to him and try to pass it off as a sacrifice that she'd made. A sacrifice to be with Hermione. How dare she spend the last few months grieving over Harry's semi-betrayal which was partly the reason they'd gone to that club in the first place when all this time she'd done worse. While she and the boys had been living in that tent, starving, suffering horcruxes, snatchers, curses, Death Eaters and while everyone back at School had suffered the Carrows, Ginny had taken up with a Slytherin. If Malfoy was right, she'd been sleeping with him and if Ginny was right about Blaise's feelings for her then he'd probably protected her. She probably hadn't suffered half as much as the others and here they were again - Hermione had - she'd - to make Malfoy keep Blaise from hurting her and all this time the vow had probably been unnecessary and the act Hermione had done with Malfoy, which was such a big deal to her because it had been another sacrifice, was one that Ginny had probably performed on Zabini countless times before.
Standing in the living room, to angry for words, Hermione grabbed the closest thing she could find - a lamp on a side table - and threw it at the wall watching with satisfaction as it smashed.
"Granger" Malfoy said, warningly, watching the pieces of the lamp fall every which way.
Hermione turned to glare at him but she wouldn't be stopped. She was on a roll. She stormed into the kitchen and wretched open the cupboards and began to take the plates and smash them, throwing them to the floor. Each one that shattered felt like another link to her friendship with Ginny breaking apart, another memory the two shared fading into non-existence and it felt good. It felt like Hermione's revenge against someone who was supposed to be her friend.
"You do realise I can repair those don't you?" Malfoy asked her, smirking.
In response, Hermione threw a bowl at his head which he dodged and watched break as it hit the wall. She started on the glasses then and soon pieces of crystal joined the shattered pieces of china on the floor. She didn't care that Malfoy was watching her fall apart, she didn't care that she was destroying his things, all she could feel was the blinding heat of anger as it consumed her. She grabbed a wine glass and held it way to tightly causing it to break in her hand and a shard cut her palm. For a second, Hermione paused and watched the blood from the deep wound run down her arm but she felt nothing - no pain, just anger. She reached for another glass when Malfoy intervened,
"Granger, enough"
"No!" she screamed back.
She threw another glass at him - which again he dodged - but this time he was coming for her.
"No!" she yelled, "Leave me - stop!"
Malfoy ignored her and Hermione felt him take hold of her arms and pin them to her sides as he began to push her out of the kitchen.
"Stop!" she screamed, "Let go of me - bastard - stop!"
When she tried to stop him by letting her legs give out he simply picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. For a moment there, Hermione caught sight of her reflection - the rage had darkened her face, the scowl left her looking so unlike herself - and stopped focusing on Malfoy. The next minute, the shower was running and Malfoy dumped her under the freezing cold spray of water. Hermione shrieked as it hit her skin and she clung to him as something inside her realised he must be standing under the water with her, both fully clothed and drenched. Then, the rage suddenly disappeared, Hermione wasn't sure if it was the shock of the water or the cold literally putting outer white-hot anger but all of the sudden she could breath properly again, she could think and feel and that's when the tears started and Hermione stood, still clinging to Malfoy, and turned into the wet fabric of his chest.
"Are you done smashing shit now Granger?" Malfoy asked gruffly.
Still crying, Hermione nodded, and she felt Malfoy turn off the water.
"I thought it would be a good surprise" he told her, "That you'd be happy she was here no matter the means but it seems I under-estimated your Gryffindor moral code"
He almost sounded apologetic as he removed himself from her grasp and spelled himself dry before handing her a towel. He left her standing, shivering, in the shower as he went into the living room and Hermione could hear him repairing the damage she'd caused. She frowned, she'd never done anything like that before. Her mind was slowly catching up and, carefully, Hermione wrapped herself in the towel now mindful of the deep cut in her hand. She'd get changed, treat her wound and then she'd write to Harry - the Order deserved to know what Ginny had done and they didn't deserve the panic of the unknown when they discovered that she'd gone.
XxXxXx
An hour later, Hermione sat in the study in a fresh set of clothes reading over one of the hardest letters she'd ever had to write.
'Dear Harry,
There is no easy way to say this but its important you all know.. Ginny is here. She got in contact with Blaise and struck a deal with him in order to get him to bring her here. You're going to need to tell Molly and Arthur because Ginny has told them that she's staying at another safe house. I know they're going to be upset but there's no way to remove her from here without endangering her - she's made certain vows. I promise I'm going to do everything I can to protect her Harry - please tell them that. If she's become a part of Malfoy's plan then I haven't heard anything about it. I think Blaise is just keeping her locked away for now but I've seen her twice. She's not injured or even scared.
She came here to be with me - I'm not happy about it but there's nothing to be done about it now.
I love you.
Hermione'
The letter felt a little cold to her but how else were you to break that kind of news to someone? The decision Ginny had made was - in part - selfish but it had been made and there was no going back now. Hermione attached the letter to the leg of her snowy white friend and moved over to release him out the window. As she did this another owl came through to land on the window seal and Hermione detached the letter from its leg which was addressed to Malfoy. As soon as her little owl had disappeared from her sight, Hermione sighed and walked towards the newly repaired kitchen, handing the letter to Malfoy as she passed him.
She could hear him opening it but barely paid any attention beyond that as she made some tea. She heard him mutter something to himself and when she turned around he'd left the room. The kettle whistled and Hermione poured the hot water into the cup. In the back of her mind she wondered when the little owl would reach Harry and what would his reaction be? She wished she could be there, that she could tell him that Ginny's choices were not his fault because the Harry she knew always eventually circled around to blaming himself. This knowledge only made Hermione question Ginny more - what had really been her motive for coming here? Okay, she'd had a thing with Blaise at school and had kept it a secret and it had obviously meant enough to her for her to risk any future relationship with Harry or had her upset over Harry all been an act when he'd had the one night fling? It hadn't seemed that way. Was Blaise now playing the part of the rebound or had Harry been the potential rebound gone wrong?
"Granger"
Hermione spun around at the sound of Malfoy's voice and almost dropped her tea cup in shock at the sight of him in Death Eater robes, the mask clutched in his hand.
"My father is summoning us - there is something we are required for"
"What is it?" she asked, quietly.
He shrugged, "No idea. Its not smart to put those kinds of details in a letter now is it?"
Hermione blushed slightly at his decision to point out the obvious to make her feel stupid but all the same she tried to dissuade him,
"You don't have to go you know. There is always a choice"
Malfoy scoffed, "Typical bloody do-gooder statement. I choose to go because if I don't he'll suspect something and that would be counter productive to my own agenda"
"But what you might be forced to do - " she begun.
"Not forced" he cut across her, "I choose. Murder, torture - the lot. I choose it and you'd do well to remember that. I'm keeping you here locked away to protect you so I can use you for my own gains and you've not seen me commit any grievous acts here yet but don't forget what I'm capable of princess. The world is not black and white, good and evil. There is only power and those strong enough to wield it will be victorious in the end"
He stepped forward and held out the emerald bracket to her making Hermione scowl.
"I don't want that"
"Suit yourself" Malfoy shrugged, "Sometimes these are quick meetings and sometimes we're away for weeks - I just thought you might like the offer of some company"
Still scowling but seeing his logic, Hermione held out her wrist and watched him go through the process to seal the bracelet.
"You can order food, the forms are in the study. All the wards and enchantments will remain in place so don't try anything stupid. Kiss farewell?"
He looked at her expectantly and Hermione rolled her eyes but chose the easy route, pressing a quick peck to his cheek.
"I'll expect better than that in the future little witch" Malfoy grumbled.
He stepped back and glanced at her once more before he was gone with a 'crack' leaving Hermione standing alone. This was the first time he'd left her for Death Eater business that she knew of and she wondered just what Lucius would require of them. She was out of the loop since coming here. Last she'd known was that his forces were getting stronger as more murderous psychopaths came out of the woodwork. Draco had boasted of having a group of incredibly strong followers behind him. Did the Death Eaters know how strong these followers were? On some level she thought probably not, she thought Malfoy would probably want to keep that quiet, a secret weapon of sorts.
The reminder of the day after that was very quiet. At 6pm, Hermione had searched through the cupboards and put together something for dinner and after that she'd sat in her favourite bay window and read one of Malfoy's "approved" books. By midnight, she'd forced herself to admit that she was waiting up for him and then subsequently gone to bed where she tossed and turned until at 2am when she'd finally fallen into a fitful sleep.
XxXxXx
At 7am the next morning, Hermione woke along and a quick search of the apartment told her that Malfoy had not returned last night. The little white owl had though and Hermione accepted the letter from him with trepidation. Bracing herself she made some tea and settled on the couch to read it.
'Mione,
I didn't want to believe you. I convinced myself that this was some kind of fucked up Malfoy trick but after travelling to each safe house yesterday and some of the night I had to finally accept what you were telling me and inform the Weasleys. They are all devastated, angry and confused by Ginny's choice and I can't help but blame myself. I knew I'd hurt her when I slept with that girl. I should have talked to her about it, I should have apologised but I was to selfish to want to face how much I'd hurt her. Ron blames me too - he told me so. He punched me in the nose and broke my glasses which is no less than what I deserve.
We need to get her out 'Mione - we need to get you both out - but Remus fears that Malfoy will side with Zabini if we try to reclaim Ginny. Remus' cowardice is really beginning to make me hate him - just how far is he willing to bend to satisfy these prats?! At some point you have to say no.
Keep her safe 'Mione - I know you will. I'm going to keep working on Remus.
Harry'
Hermione sighed and went to pull on some clothes. Her heart broke for Harry and the Weasleys and it would break further still because even if Harry did bring Remus around they couldn't bring Ginny back to them. Fully dressed, she grabbed the letter and made her way down to Zabini's apartment where she sharply knocked on the door. A moment later, Ginny open it which confirmed Hermione's suspicions that Blaise had also been summoned.
"Ae you going to try to claw my eyes out again?" Ginny asked, quietly.
Hermione shook her head 'no' and then stepped inside when Ginny held the door open for her. She took a seat on the couch and handed Ginny Harry's letter. She watched the tears swell in the red-head's eyes as she read it.
"Oh mum and dad" she gave a small sob.
"They need to know why you can't return" Hermione said softly, "and I need to understand"
"How am I going to tell them?" Ginny cried, sadly, "They're going to hate me"
Hermione shook her head, "They love you Ginny but this is going to hurt them…but then you knew that, otherwise, you wouldn't have lied"
"They'd never have let me go" she whimpered.
"And with good reason. So tell me…why did you come here? I know its not just to get to me"
Ginny looked at her sadly and then cast her eyes down as she whispered,
"Blaise"
Hermione frowned, "Explain"
Ginny sighed, "Hogwarts during the war was a nightmare. The Carrows - Snape - I know he ended up being on our side but he was still terrible at Hogwarts. Romilda had this idea that cozying up with a Slytherin student might spare her as Gryffindor kids got the worst torment. I thought she was mad but it worked, kind of. The Carrows back off her in class and other Slytherins let her be in the Great Hall and the Library. At first I was pretty disgusted but after a while I got desperate - the Carrows, everyone, knew how Harry felt about me and I just couldn't escape the torment. They targeted me - in the one week I had the same arm broken 3 times - Madam Pomfrey didn't want to release me and kept me in an additional night to try to protect me and that was where I met Blaise. He got injured in Quidditch training and we got to talking while he healed. It started off as nothing more than a friendship but then it developed into something more physical. When you, Ron and Harry returned to the castle I missed your arrival because I'd been with Blaise when I got the message otherwise I would have been there with everyone else. I was so conflicted but Harry greeted me like time on our growing relationship had simply been frozen and you don't tell the person gearing up to fight the most evil wizard of all time about your fling with a Slytherin so I went along with it. When Voldemort was gone, Harry seemed so relieved - everyone did - so I forced myself to forget Blaise. I told myself it had meant nothing and that Harry loved me and he was my future. I made myself believe that and just when I was starting to think I could revive my feelings for Harry he went and had sex with someone else and it felt like I'd been slapped in the face because not only had I made myself let Blaise go but then it was all for nothing when I lost Harry"
"Ginny I - "
"Just wait" Ginny interrupted her, "I have to explain. I didn't meant o develop feelings for Blaise, I really didn't, but somehow he wormed his way into my heart and the more time passed the more I missed him but then I had you and you understood - well sort of given you thought I was mourning my loss of Harry. When Malfoy took you I blamed myself and I was desperate to get you back and I knew Blaise would be involved so I planned to exploit his feelings for me to help get you back. Blaise had already guessed that I might try that though and then he was there and my feelings for him came rushing back and I was helpless Hermione. I know how young we are but something tells me that he's it for me - my soul mate - and so I took his deal and made those vows. You can hate me and curse me but Blaise makes me feel like the best version of me I can possibly be and I know he loves me"
Hermione found herself a bit shocked at Ginny's story. She'd known nothing, no one had.
"He supports Malfoy's ideology Ginny" she said, slowly.
"I know he does" Ginny agreed, "But he and I are a coincidence. I'm one of the strongest in our family generation and he's incredibly powerful. Its a good match"
"Do you -"
Ginny shook her head, "No. I still believe that you should be able to marry whoever you want regardless of power but I will admit that the theory has merits. You and Malfoy would have exceptionally powerful children 'Mione but that should only be at your will, not Malfoy's command"
"What does Blaise plan to do with you while you're here?"
Ginny shrugged, "I'm on house arrest just like you. I can't leave for my own protection. He's had to cloak me so that my name doesn't show up on his family tree yet - not until the Death Eaters are gone. It could give away Malfoy's alliance with the Order"
Hermione scoffed at this and glanced at her hands, annoyed at Zabini's protection of Malfoy and his little gang.
"Please don't hate me for saying this 'Mione because you know I am on your side whatever happens but Malfoy loves you in his own possessive way. I've heard him talking to Blaise about you and he admires you. In another time and place the two of you would be strangely perfect for one another"
"That other time and place being where he hasn't abducted me and kept me prisoner. He's nothing but a black prince Ginny. He told me so himself yesterday. He willingly murders and tortures people - its like career advancement for him. We're a long way past the kid who couldn't murder Dumbledore now. He's dangerous and anything that has happened with him so far as been a mistake, anything that will happen with him in the future will be a mistake"
"Ask him about Goyle" Ginny told her, "You should hear that story"
"You write to your parents" Hermione snapped back, "Explain to them why they can't have their daughter back before one of them gets killed trying - the truth Ginny - they deserve that much and so does Harry. He shouldn't have to blame himself for a mistake against you that you'd committed against him long before"
She stood up and made her way over to the door before she paused,
"Did your husband mention what they'd been summoned for?"
Ginny shook her head, "He had no idea. He just said he could be gone a while. I'm worried about him"
Hermione shrugged, "That's your issue but if they aren't back by tomorrow you and I can have dinner - once you've written that letter and not before"
"Hermione" Ginny said, fearfully, "I don't know what to say, how to tell them, how to stop it from destroying them"
Her friends delayed conscience grated at her and Hermione 'tsked' under her breath irritably.
"Ginny it seems to me that you've made a very grown up decision at a very young age without properly thinking through the consequences of said decision. You're only 17 years old after all. All the same, a grown up realises that their decisions aren't always going to please everyone and accepts that they must be secure in their own reasoning. You've made an adult decision so write to your loved ones and give them your adult reasoning and then deal with the consequences… like an adult"
She saw that her answer had stung her friend but Hermione cared not. She wouldn't out-cast her friend figuratively speaking but she couldn't stand by and hold her hand either over a decision Hermione herself still couldn't even begin to comprehend.
She left her saddened friend and returned to her home - her home with Malfoy - her own adult consequence of an adult decision she'd made for, what she hoped, was the greater good.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
So I hope you enjoyed this chapter :) I felt everyone needed a little more explanation into Ginny's side of things and, to a degree, I feel a little sorry for her. Let me know your thoughts :)
and remember… like its been ages your reviews can inspire too!
