It's really cool when you put two writing heads together and create one entire one shot. This original idea was written by Zephoriaaa and the plot was written by me! If you'd like to read her version it's in Together Through it All with the same title " Double Cheat, Double Win." I hope you enjoy this collaborative effort! - Author ♥️.
Ps: this does mention Olivia!

It was a freezing day in early February, a time meant for love and happiness. But not for the Malfoy's...
" I've heard the rumors, you know..." Silvia crossed her arms and turned toward her husband Draco Malfoy as they walked through the door after a long day at the Ministry.
" Wh-what rumors?" Draco gulped, knowing what this could be about.
" Oh I have to remind you of your sneaking off with a certain quidditch player and joining a team?!" She raised her voice and let her purse fall to the hardwood ground.
" I-" Draco tried to defend himself.
" No! You don't understand! You humiliated me and now everyone in my department aren't talking to me! Just go! Get out and find that woman to have an affair with!" Silvia yelled, her right hand a fist and her teeth clenched, just to stop her from crying.
" Sil, love please. It was in the Prophet, it's complete rubbish. You'd be naive to believe in it," Draco's calming voice had little effect on his wife. Instead she slapped the hand she saw inching toward her face away.
" Dare call me ' naive' Draco," her voice growing dark as her heart was sent down a deep path. She loved the man who was standing in front of her, she truly did, but it killed her evermore to hear those words from his mouth.
" Sil-"
" ENOUGH! You don't deserve to call me by that name! JUST GET OUT! GET OUT NOW!" She took out her wand and pointed it at his heart to prove her point.
Draco gave her a look of apology and sympathy as he reopened the door, whilst Silvia gave him one of resentment and heartbreak standing her ground. He shut the door behind him and left to catch a break.
Silvia immediately broke into tears of tragedy. " How... Why... I didn't mean to..." She muttered to herself as a way to soothe herself. " We're simply just t-taking a br-br-break... Yeah that's it..." She took a few breaths before wiping her most recent tear off her cheek.
She then got the idea to owl her sister, Olivia to ask her to come over and comfort her, but before she could do anything a tapping sound came from the kitchen window.
There sat Finn, Ron and Hermione's tall grey owl. " I wonder what they want..." She talked to herself as she opened the window, taking the blue sealed letter out of its claws. She glanced at Finn but as he bit his right claw rather harshly she couldn't help but let out a feeble giggle. " I wish I could help you mister but you spend too much time around Hermione who keeps you nice and thin," she told him, declining on giving him a treat.
She turned her focus back to the letter and opened it hastily.
Silvia,
I, I'm reaching out to you only because I currently trust you the most. Hermione and I had a row, a really really bad one and now I'm searching for advice... I never meant to say anything to her so please Silvia please help me! Meet me at the Three Broomsticks tomorrow, I beg of you. From one half sibling and school mate to another, thanks.
-Sincerely, Ron.
By the time she finished reading she was scowling, sure Ron and Hermione fought a lot, but this seemed to be on a whole different level. She summoned her favorite and most expensive peacock quill and wrote her reply on the back of the paper before sending it away with Finn the owl.
The night past by quickly and soon Silvia was at the oh so familiar bar with Ron.
" Your still fighting over Cormac Mclaggen?!" She exclaimed loudly after Ron explained the details of their row. It was a busy weekend afternoon and students and adults were packed inside the bar to keep out of the cold.
" Shh quiet down! We're going to be caught by the Ministry for ' cheating'!" Ron exclaimed in a more quiet voice. Silvia couldn't help it but laugh.
" Not in these pretty crazy muggle outfits we have on, we look like we're from the black market," she joked, holding out her arm as the thick red sleeve dangled below, but looked to see his face stern.
" The only reason I'm here is for relationship advice, please don't make this any worse than it has to be. If I wasn't here I'd be with Hermione and she currently hates my guts... I'll go get us some butter beers then," Ron brought her back to earth and ruffled his red locks of hair with his hand as he stood up, walking over to the crowded bar.
He walked back a little longer than Silvia thought it would take with the two drinks.
" Lucky I didn't hex the guy, he took far to long to get our drinks," he said as Silvia greedily took the a glass from him.
" I'm just here to give you relationship advice, once we're done I can go fix my own..." She glared off into space, thinking of Draco.
" You and Malfoy?-"
" I can handle my love life by myself thanks," she spoke in a snappish tone, unlike her kind composer self. She tapped her foot impatiently, just wanting to get on with their main talk.
" Someones had a bad day," Ron said loud enough just for her to hear and she glared at him. He chuckled to himself as both him and Silvia took long swigs from their glasses.
Silvia couldn't help but go slightly limp and grin at Ron. She didn't know what exactly was happening but she knew that she'd forgot anything Draco did or said, and her feelings for him wavered and transferred all of them to the red haired blue eyed man from across the booth.
" R-Ron?! Guess what? I think I-I like you Ron!" She blurted excitedly, before giggling like a little kid high on candy.
" I-I like you too Silvia! I absolutely love you!" He blurted in reply, also giggling a bit.
" Let's get a room!" She cheered.
" Let me break up with Granger first!" Ron placed his hand on hers and they laughed wildly as they stared in each other's eyes.
...
Draco was just filing out a form at his desk in the Ministry the day after his and Silvia's fight when the Minister ran into his office. He missed her immensely, having to spend the night alone in the very office he was currently in, his only warmth from the small portable heater on his desk next to his and Silvia's wedding picture.
He knew she had overreacted, it certainly wasn't the first time they had fought but he couldn't help but think that the rumor put the spark out in their marriage and relationship.
" Malfoy, you need to come with me now. It's urgent!" She was holding something in her hand and Draco realized it looked as if she'd been crying.
" Of course Minister, is everything alright?" Draco stood from his desk and quickly followed her. She led him to the main lobby before saying anything.
" No, our loved ones have fallen under the spell of Amortenia..." Draco took the piece of parchment in his hands. With each line he read, his face grew more and more red, his heartbeat increasing dramatically.
" She wouldn't- she knows how to detect potions- Weasel couldn't have-" Draco spoke through his gritted teeth, Hermione opened her mouth to speak but Draco spoke before her. " We have to get to The Three Broomsticks immediately. Silvia's weak and easily to get through, if he touches her-"
" Let's just go alright?!" Hermione practically dragged him to a mantle and they dived in saying " The Three Broomsticks!" As they left the Ministry.
...
" Mmm Ron... I-I th-think I'm drunk..." Silvia slurred, laughing as she tossed another liquor bottle on the hallway floor, hearing it crash into tiny pieces. Ron took her hand and clumsily led her to the door of the room they rented.
" Welcome home dearest," He said as he opened the door and they stumbled into the dimly lit room together. Silvia didn't waste anytime as she slammed the door shut and walked seducing like into Ron's arms.
Their mouths met and the kiss developed rapidly. First Silvia moved her hands to his messy hair and pulled at it as Ron massaged her upper thighs. Silvia let out a moan as she leaned back for air, letting Ron go at her neck and collarbone. She leaned forward and nipped and sucked at his ear lobe and neck.
Eventually Ron tripped backward onto a old and dusty bed and Silvia took this as her moment to straddle his waist and stick her tongue in his mouth and he returned the favor.
" Freeze!" A female yell scared them to break apart.
" Oi look Sil, it's our ex's!" Ron exclaimed, seeing Draco and Hermione with the dim light. Silvia giggled.
" R-Ron wh-y do we car-care?" She hiccuped and slurred, placing her hands on his shoulder and making a bad effort to crawl back into his embrace.
" Silvia Malfoy your very drunk and confused, let's fix you up and go home," Draco said in a boss like tone.
" No I'm not," Silvia giggled. " I'm ju-just in love Dra! We-we never do this!" She slurred and hiccuped, kissing Ron's cheek.
" I said freeze!" Hermione raised her voice and Ron grabbed Silvia protectively around her waist. Hermione didn't waste another second and cast the reverse spell over the two, making them sober and not in love with each other.
" Draco!"
" 'Mione!"
Ron jumped away from Silvia and got off the bed to hug Hermione but Silvia stayed put.
" Sil?" Draco walked hesitantly toward his wife, ignoring the other couples apologizes to each other. Realizing she was weeping Draco sat on the edge of the bed and carefully moved her to his lap.
" I-I-I'm ssssoo sorry," she cried into his shoulder.
" Sil shh love it's okay, I understand," he held her tightly against him and soothed her in a whisper.
" H-how c-can you still love me?" She asked, hearing Ron and Hermione disapperate out of the room and probably to their place.
" Because I'm sorry for our fight and we're married and I love you no matter what situation we're in," he told her, stroking her knotted brown hair, back, and her thigh with his other hand.
" I'm sorry, I love you more than anything and I never wanted to believe in the rumor. I just let m-my emotions get to me," her cries softened as she leaned up and looked at him in the eyes. She could still see the soft calming blue irises even in the dim room. " I love you," she stated once more.
" I love you more than you could ever imagine. Now let's go home so I can prove that to you," he kissed her sweetly before disapperating directly to their mansion.
Silvia knew right when she landed in bed she was in for a very long and restless night but it was with Draco Lucius Malfoy, the one and only man that could ever make her the happiest woman alive.
