Shall Put It Asunder

~Chapter 6~

The first thing that Draco did when he woke up that morning was to contact his lawyer and had him draw up the divorce papers. Once that was done he had the elves pack up all of her stuff while he changed the wards on the house to exclude her and Hermione. Hermione would be allowed entrance back into her house when she got her life together.

The next thing he did was to wake his kids up and take them shopping. They deserved it. Cassy had been taking on the role of the mother and the father with that snotty nosed brat so she deserved a break. Someone needed to spoil her and Draco was going to do exactly that. Plus school was starting back up for her soon; this was a good opportunity to buy her clothes. He also flooed Red and asked her to come with because Draco knew nothing about what little girls wore these days. Thank Merlin for Charms or else Cassy’s hair might end up standing on her head every day when she went to school.

Scorpius had made him so proud last night that he was going to buy his son his first broom. Yes he was only four years old but he could get a kiddy broom where Draco would teach him how to fly. After all he did have a legacy to continue. Scorpius was also going to be starting kindergarten a year early. Draco was sure his boy could handle it.

When Draco, Scorpius, Cassy, Ginny, and Blaise arrived in Diagon Alley, Ginny automatically led them to Madam Malkin’s. As soon as Draco told her to spare no expenses when it came to their clothes, Ginny’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. She stole Blaise’s credit card out of his back pocket when he wasn’t looking so she was sure to pick up a few things for herself.

Draco and Blaise had been talking about their company when Ginny came out the dressing room with an amused smile on her face.

“Red, what the hell are you smiling about,” Draco asked.

“Dear Draco, how old is Cassy?”

“She’s 6. You already know that so why would you ask?”

“Yes and as a beautiful 6 year old she’s growing wouldn’t you say,” Ginny asked.

“Yes Red, now get straight to the point.”

“It’s time Cassy starts the journey into womanhood.”

“Huh,” Draco asked confused. It was then that he noticed Ginny was holding something behind her back. “Red, what’s behind your back?”

“Draco, this is a training bra,” she said as she pulled out a light pink piece of cotton from behind her back. “Your daughter is growing up.”

“I know what it is but what does that have to do with my daughter growing up,” Draco asked before comprehension dawned on him…along with darkness as he fell out of his seat onto the floor.

“Now, Draco that is what the hell I’m smiling about,” Red said with a smirk.

“Now Pet, you know that wasn’t nice,” Blaise said as he stared at his best mate passed out on the floor.

“Have you seen Cassy? The girl has more ass that I will ever have and by the time she’s 12 I’m sure her tits will be as big as mine!”

“She has to get it from Hermione’s side of the family because all of Drake’s family is skinny and straight like boards.”

“Well, I’m mad at Hermione for neglecting that child like that. From now on, I’m going to be teaching her the ways of becoming a woman because clearly her mother doesn’t care to.”

“Red, I hope you know this maternal side of you brings something out in me,” Blaise said as he got out of his chair to grab and kiss her.

Ginny broke the kiss with a smile on my face. “Maybe one day, if you play your cards right you may get to see me like this everyday.”

“I can only be so lucky,” Blaise said as he dropped one more kiss to her lips.

“Get Draco off the floor so he can see Scorpius in his new clothes and go. Cassy wants to stop by Flourish and Blotts, like mother like daughter.” She started to walk away but a slap on her bum from Blaise made her turn her face around in mock anger.

“Please excuse my hands, they really don’t mean any harm,” Blaise said with a serious face.

Ginny continued to walk away from him her eyes full of promise. Blaise looked at his best mate who was starting to come to.

“What in the bloody hell? Blaise why am I on the floor,” Draco asked as he looked around.

“You passed out when Ginny told you that Cassy needed to start wearing training bras,” Blaise said.

“I did no such thing. I am a Malfoy man, and Malfoy men do not pass out no matter the- Cassy is wearing what?!”

Hermione opened the door of the daycare and plastered a smile on her face. She was going to pick up her son up from school and then go home and cook a nice dinner. Hopefully, Viktor would have calmed down from the last time they talked. A good dinner always seemed to make him happy.

“Afternoon Mrs. Krum,” the receptionist said as she walked towards the front desk.

“Good afternoon Danielle. I’m here to pick Aleksander up early today,” Hermione said as she flipped through the sign out book. She noticed that Aleksander’s name had a signature next to it meaning that he had already been signed out, however the signature looked nothing like Viktor’s.

“Danielle, who signed my son out?”

“Mrs. Krum, I just got back from a doctor’s appointment so I don’t know who signed your son out. Madame Devine was at the front desk before I came back so let me just go get her,” Danielle said as she got up to go get the older lady.

Hermione paced back in forth in front of the receptionist’s desk while she waited until Madame Devine came. A few agonizing minutes later, Madame Devine, an older lady with blue and grey hair appeared at the front desk.

“Hello Mrs. Krum I haven’t seen you in a while. I’m sure Aleksander would have loved for you to pick him up.”

“I agree Madame Devine, but can you tell me who picked up your son.”

“Your husband phoned to say that he was feeling a little bit under the weather, and Miss Kane, his teacher, volunteered to take him home. It’s not the first time she’s done it. Apparently she lives not too far from you guys, and Mr. Krum has given her full permission to bring Aleksander home when he can’t. Surely, he told you about this Mrs. Krum.”

No, Viktor did not tell her about that, but she would deal with him later. Hermione plastered a smile on her face and said, “Of course I know about that. It’s pretty early so I thought Miss Kane would still be here for the day. I was going to pick Aleks up for myself. Thank you so much. You ladies have a good day,” Hermione said before she walked out the door.

“That woman is so sweet,” Madame Devine said.

“And so naive too,” Danielle replied as she walked towards the file cabinet.

“What do you mean my dear,” the older lady asked with a confused look on her face.

“Madame, if you don’t know what I’m talking about then clearly, you are naïve also,” Danielle said as she answered the ringing phone.

Hermione took a deep breath before walking through the fireplace of her home. She was prepared to give Viktor a piece of her mind. “Viktor Krum, where the hell are you,” she screamed as she dusted the soot off her robes.

“Mrs. Krum, you’re home early,” a light voice said from the living room.

Hermione stormed through the house to find the source of the voice. “Who are you,” Hermione asked.

“I’m Dorothy Kane,” the woman said as she flashed a bright smile. Hermione took in the beautiful young woman in front of her. The woman was very tall with the longest legs Hermione had ever seen on a woman before. Her blonde hair hung in spiral ringlets down the middle of her back. She looked as if she had just got a tan because the woman was far from pale. Her bright green eyes were the color of fresh cut emeralds and matched her tight blouse. Hermione felt inadequate standing in the same room as the woman.

So Hermione had let herself go a little bit after marrying Viktor and having Aleks. Only a little bit though. It was clear this woman worked out everyday, her body attested to that fact. Her tight blouse barely covered her huge tits and the tight pencil skirt she wore showed off her curves. Hermione felt like shit.

“Well, Miss Kane do you mind telling me what you’re doing in my house,” Hermione said in the most pleasant voice she could muster.

“I’m Aleks’ teacher at daycare and your husband phoned the school to say that he wasn’t feeling well today. I volunteered to bring him home and sit with him a while so your husband can rest.”

“Well that was awfully nice of you Miss Kane, but I’m here now. You can leave, but thank you so much for watching my son and taking care of my husband.”

If it wasn’t obvious to this Dorothy Kane that Hermione was on the verge of kicking her ass, then it was seriously something wrong with her.

“Oh it’s no problem Mrs. Krum. My own husband works late so really didn’t have anything else to do. I’ll just be on my way now,” Dorothy said as she went to gather her purse from the other room.

A few minutes later she returned with her purse in hand. “Aleks is currently taking a nap so you won’t have worry about him for a while. I made your husband some soup so he should be okay also. Please tell him that I hope he feels better soon. I have no problem dropping Aleks off tomorrow if he’s still not feeling better. Also tell Aleks that I will see him in class tomorrow.”

“I will make sure I do Miss Kane.”

“Please just call me Dorothy.”

“Well Dorothy I will give both of them your regards. I hope you give them the same kind of attention that you give to your own husband. If so he is really one lucky man. Now you have a nice day,” Hermione said as she shoved some floo powder in the woman’s hands and practically pushed her through the fireplace.

The nerve of that woman to come into her house and act like she owned it. Taking care of her child and pampering her sick husband. Who did this woman think she was? Who was Viktor to invite some strange woman into her home? She was about to get answers to those questions until she walked into the bedroom.

Viktor was currently stretched out on his back sleep, the sheet covering the lower half of his body. A light snore erupted from his body as his stomach moved up and down. Hermione smiled as she walked into the room to place a light kiss on his forehead. While it wasn’t warm or even hot, Hermione figured he may just have a stomach bug or something. A frown appeared on her face as Viktor swatted at her in his sleep.

Hermione walked out of the room and went to prepare dinner. Maybe she shouldn’t have been so rude to Dorothy. She should be grateful that someone was taking care of her husband when he was obviously too sick to move. The next time Hermione saw her she was going to apologize for her standoffish behavior.

Hermione was also going to start hitting the gym again. She could stand to lose a few pounds. Maybe that would stop Viktor from having an affair. She was going to prepare him a nice dinner and was going to start repairing her marriage by starting at the root of the problem: herself.
