Working On Us

It was Saturday morning and the rain was dropping on the windows of Malfoy Manor. Hermione's head was not on her pillow but on something hard and muscular. Hermione opens her eyes and saw her Husband lying on his back with his arms around Hermione. This was the first time Hermione had woken up with Draco in three weeks. He usually went into work every day Monday to Sunday. She laid her head back on his chest and listen to the soft beat of his heart.

Twenty minutes later Draco opened his eyes to find his wife looking at him.

"Good Morning love" he said with a smile plastered on his face.

"Good Morning" Hermione said as she leaned up to kiss Draco. "It's good to have you home for once."

"It's good to be home."

"Where were you last night? I went to Malfoy Holdings your receptionist said you left early to go home." She looked at Draco curious.

"Well I … promised I would see…Blaise. Sorry I forgot to tell you love." Hermione noted that he was lying.

"That's okay." She faked a smile and moved away from Draco. "I'm going to have a shower."

In the bathroom Hermione sat on the edge of the bath. He was lying to her; he had never lied to her before. Why was he lying to her; what was he keeping from her.

After Hermione's shower she walked back into their bedroom to find Draco had fallen back to sleep. She picked his white shirt of the floor and smelled it. It smelt like women's perfume; defiantly not her perfume. Her perfume was soft and flowery this perfume was harsh and strong. He had food stains on the front of his shirt. Had he been to dinner with another woman?

Draco stirred in bed and Hermione put the shirt in their laundry basket.

"I'm sorry love I must have fallen asleep again" Draco sat up and stretched his arms and legs.

"You've been working hard; you deserve a lie in" she faked a small smile.

Draco got out of bed and went behind Hermione; he put his arms around her waist. "I'm going to take a shower then I was thinking we could go to Diagon Alley." He spoke into the crook of her neck.

"Sure." She said wanting to pull away from him.

They walked through Diagon Alley together hand in hand like any normal loving couple. Loving couple? Hermione had a million and one things going through her mind. Was her husband cheating on her? Did he find love with some one else? Was he going to divorce her?

"Everything okay?" Draco looked at Hermione she was distracted and looked stressed.

"I'm fine." She said. Draco knew when she said she was fine she wasn't.

They walked into the Flourish and Blotts Hermione's favourite store. As a teenager she used to spend most of her time in there when Harry and Ron looked around the Quidditch shop.

"Love I need to go to the bank; I'll be back in ten minutes" He kissed her head and rushed out of the shop.

Was he hoping to distract her with the books and go off and meet some woman? Hermione looked at Draco leaving the shop and soon after followed him.

Draco was stood outside Gringotts Wizarding Bank looking around in the crowd. Hermione was stood in the distance watching Draco. A slim tall blonde woman dressed in a small high waisted skirt that showed off more leg than was needed and a low cut top showing off her ample bust; walked up to Draco and kisses his cheek. He smiled. Draco looked happy and relaxed with her; he hadn't looked like that in nearly a month. She watched as her husband took hold of her hand and kissed it lightly the way he had done when he took her to dinner. The woman giggled like a school girl and blushed. She felt betrayed and sick. She couldn't watch any longer and fled Diagon Alley.
