Chaper two

Dear Pansy,







After crying and thinking and crying some more I am finally ready to answer your letter. I want you to know that I do not blame you for anything, other than a bad judgement in partner, and if you still want to, I would like us to remain friends.







With that said I need to tell you something. I am pregnant as well, and with the same man. I was really excited until I told him almost a week ago. He didn’t say anything, just turned on his heel and went away. Now I know where he’s been hiding. He didn’t answer my owl and I was going to file him as missing today.







I remember that party, and I remember how Ron disappeared for those 30 minutes. And after thinking about it, I know there have been other times as well. I am a bit uncertain what to do; to be honest I am a bit bewildered. I know I don’t want to be married to him anymore, but I have no idea how everything works legally in the magical world.







How’s school? Are you going to finish it now that you are pregnant? Hope you are well.







Love



Hermione











Dear Hermione







You are always so sweet, even in the middle of this you think of my life and studies. I hope that I will be able to finish this term, and then hold of the last one for a while.







If you really want to divorce the ignorant prick, I might be able to help you. Could you meet me for dinner this week?







Love



Pansy











Dear Pansy







Yes, I do not want to be married to him anymore, I’m not going to keep pretending just because he is a heartless idiot. You really think you could help me? How’s Friday? I could make something and we could eat at my flat.







Love



Hermione







?*?*?*?*?








On Friday Hermione were standing over the pans, cooking. Pansy was coming soon and she had said she would bring a friend that could help them. Hermione was making chicken wok with pasta. She tasted the pasta as she heard the floo rustle. Then she heard a couple of thumps as the person landed on her floor and she went into the room to greet her.



When she saw her small friend with the little bump on her stomach, she almost cried. Instead she embraced her and welcomed her.







“Hi, how are you?” Pansy’s voice was filled with concern and Hermione relaxed even more.







“I’m fine. My office at work is worse for wear at the moment, but that can be fixed.”







They stepped away from each other just as the floo stirred again. When Draco Malfoy stepped out of it Hermione was somewhat surprised, but they had also turned into friends, so she greeted him with her hand stretched out.







“Hello Draco, how are you?” he took her hand before answering.







“I’m fine, working hard, but finally getting where I want.” He smiled at her, and she told them to come sit down. As she started to put out the plates, Pansy started talking.







“Hermione, the reason I thought Draco could help is because he became a solicitor just some months ago. He could help us figure out what to do.”







They started eating, and Hermione started with the questioning Draco.







“Ok, I want to divorce Ron, how do I proceed?”







“First off, you need a solicitor; I can’t do it since we are friends. You work out papers, and then you send him the divorce papers so he can sign. If he does not sign the papers in three weeks, it’s taken to court. If he shows up, the trial will be as usual, evidence from your side, testimonies etc. If he does not show up and you have either a testimony under Veritaserum or evidence that he was cheating on you, the divorce automatically goes through.”







“Hmm...ok. But the only person I know to testify is Pansy, and we weren’t married at that time.”







“Oh, I have been taking care of that. I told one of my dorm mates who shagged him that he was married, and she’ll gladly testify,” Pansy broke out in a wicked grin.







“Oh, great, thanks!” Hermione smiled back at her, before turning to Draco again.







“The next thing I want is to have sole custody of this child. I don’t want him to be able to suddenly show up and take it with him, how can I do that?”







Draco sighed. “That’s a bit harder. Again you would have to send him papers to sign, if he doesn’t it goes to court. If he does show up, you do not have that much chance of getting sole custody; he might get weekends or visitation rights. If he doesn’t show up on the other hand, it’s much easier. You have to take Veritaserum and tell the whole story about how he skipped out on you when he found out, and you will almost certainly get sole custody; and if you convince them that he frightens you, you could get a restraining order against him. In the wizard world means he literally can’t go however close to the kid.”







“Hmm, the last one will be hard. But first I need a solicitor.”







“You could use mine, he’s quite good,” Pansy looked at Hermione and kept talking.



“And he will have lots to do, because I want sole custody over this one too.” She patted her belly with fondness.







The rest of the dinner turned a bit nicer, and Hermione and Pansy decided to go to the Burrow together the next day. Hermione would talk to her in-laws first, and if they wanted evidence of some sort, Pansy would show up. Hermione asked Pansy if she wanted to stay over, which she accepted happily. In the middle of the night Pansy woke up in the guestroom and heard a muffled cry in the next room. She got up from her bed and walked into the master bedroom. Hermione was twisting the sheets in her hands and crying into the pillow. Pansy didn’t want to say anything; she just padded over to the bed and lay down next to the crying woman. She put her arms around her and shushed while stroking her hair.







“I just don’t get it, wasn’t I enough?” she sobbed.







“It isn’t your fault. He was a twit, and didn’t know what was right in front of him.”







As she continued to comfort her friend through the night, she damned Ron Weasley to hell and back. He was hurting her friend and he would pay.

AU: I am really sorry that this was a bit short and not-so-much-happening chapter, but it\'s important for the story. The next chapter will have plenty of action, as Hermione visits her in-laws. Update will come soon.
