As February came to an end Hermione realized how quiet it had been at the manor. Her nightmares still came and they occasionally found the study door open but other than that there was nothing out of the ordinary. Mimsy gave birth to two little house-elves, twins apparently were very rare for house-elves and Lucius treated her like a princess now. Hermione loved to spend time with the little boy and girl elf as well as spending time with Scorpius. Lucius generally spent most of his days with him along with Teddy and Remus. But, Hermione took his evenings and read to him, taught him new words and encouraged him to use the words he knew. Draco also spent time with him as much as he could as a ghost, mostly he was just happy to spend time with the child. There had been a bit of a snag when Scorpius called Lucius ‘daddy’ because no one really knew what to say and it only got worse when he asked Hermione she was his mummy. They told the two year old that Lucius was his grandfather but he seemed more interested in calling him ‘papa’ or even sometimes ‘daddy’. No one knew what he should call Hermione, so they insisted that he just plain call her Hermione until they knew what else to tell him.
“Hermione” Lucius greeted as he walked in to the dining room with Scorpius on a Saturday morning “What are you doing?”
“I’m making a list of passable Potions Master/Mistresses to apprentice under” She told him “I’m not sure if you realize but come June I will only have one year of study left and that is while apprenticing under a master/mistress”
“Okay” He sat down and helped the toddler with his food “Then pick one, what’s the problem?”
“Well” She bit her lip and felt silly “The nearest master is in Russia because there is no master in England anymore”
“Oh” He looked at his breakfast for a moment “Well, Russia is beautiful and I think you’d like it there if you went” He frowned at his plate “We knew that you weren’t going to stay here forever, right?”
“I suppose not” Hermione forced a smile on her face and looked back at her plate but she no longer felt hungry anymore “I guess I’m going to go visit Ginny”
Hermione gathered her stuff and walked out of the manor. She followed the front path towards the gate only marginally aware that there was a ghost stalking after her. She finally turned her head to Nott and shook it as if warning him that she wasn’t in the mood for his shit. He never really tried to harm her, she knew that if she was too soft that he would harm her but usually he just walked next to her and sometimes asked her why she couldn’t have left him alone. In a moment of humanity she actually did what he asked of her and checked on his mother for him. The woman had been nearly too ashamed of what her son had done to look at her but Hermione assured her that she held no ill-will. Since then he was a little less mean to her, not much but just enough that she didn’t consider having him locked in a chest and sent to the bottom of the sea.

Luna and Ginny were, thankfully, the only ones home when she got to the apartment as the boys had Quidditch practice all day. All three were dressed warm and comfortable and chatting about the following year. Luna was finally sure about what it was that she wanted to do after University so she talked about the classes that she would need. Ron and Harry were to be sent out in the world as Apprentices just like she was so Ginny was left to study on her own as she wasn’t likely to have any of the same classes as Luna. Hermione hadn’t meant to but when they asked her about who she was going to apprentice under she burst in to tears. They had pushed and pushed before she finally told them what was wrong and then they sat there and looked at her. Luna with a knowing look on her face and Ginny with a look of pure amusement on her face leaning her head to the side slightly.
“I knew this was going to happen” Ginny said “Didn’t I say it the first day she told us that she was living with him, Luna?”
“You did” Luna said.
“What?” Hermione asked, wiping her still wet eyes on her sleeve “What did you know?”
“Have you even given any thought as to why you don’t want to leave the manor?” Ginny asked.
“Because of Scorpius” Hermione said “I love that little boy, then there’s the fact that Narcissa is gone and yet I can’t seem to figure out how to get Draco crossed over” She shook her head “Not to mention Snape”
“And Lucius?” Ginny asked “Will you not miss him at all?”
“Well” She blushed “Well I mean…of course, I’ll miss him. He’s been a great friend these past four months and sure I’ll miss the way he makes me breakfast, by hand I might add, every Sunday morning, I’ll miss the good conversations we have, helping him with his business plans and all that but…”
“You’re in love with him” Ginny said “Just admit it”
“I am not!” Hermione argued “And anyway…he doesn’t feel the same way”
“How do you know, did you ask him?” Luna asked her.
“No, of course not” Hermione looked horrified at the mere thought of it “But when I told him that I was likely to have to move to Russia to be an apprentice he all but offered to help me pack”
“My Mind-Healing classes taught me that when someone suffers a great loss, like Lucius did” Ginny said “They tend to push people away when they get too close to them. I bet that Lucius knows that he is falling in love with you and is worried that if he loves you he will lose you…therefor, he’s trying to make you believe that he doesn’t care if you leave at all”
“I say you leave” Luna said with a grin.
“Why?!” Hermione looked nearly outraged at the mere thought.
“Not for a long time” The blonde girl said “Leave for like…two weeks and when you come back keep an eye on his reaction to having you home again”
“What will that accomplish?” Hermione asked, confused.
“If he’s like ‘oh, your home’ and goes on about his life like it doesn’t matter that you are home then he doesn’t have feelings for you” Luna said “But if he, as I assume he does, have feelings for you then I bet he will be falling all over himself to make sure that you’re happy enough to not leave again”
“And there is a simple cure for the whole Apprenticeship thing” Ginny said as she sipped her tea.
“And what is that?” Hermione asked.
“Well” Ginny answered “Snape haunts the manor, right?” Hermione nodded “Then apprentice under him, I mean if Professor Binns can still teach in his ghostly form then why can’t Snape?”
“Ginny!” Hermione gasped “You are positively brilliant!”
“I know” She answered which made them all laugh “I also have a cure to get you out of the manor for two weeks”
“And what is that?” Hermione asked.
“I’ve been planning to go to Salem, Mass. In the States, I mean it may be in America but it is still history and it interests me” Her eyes had a fire behind them again “Did you know that seventeen of the nineteen convicted and killed in Salem were actual witches?”
“That is scary” Hermione agreed while Luna nodded.
“I can pay for everything, thanks to Harry putting away that vault for my own vacation” Ginny said “You pay for your own food and whatever else you want. Come on, it will be really fun…just the three of us!”
“Alright” Hermione sighed “Alright…I will go” With that the girls screamed and cheered at their new plans.
~~~//~~~
Hermione got back to the manor much later than she had anticipated. They had ordered some magical pamphlets on Salem from the magical government in America and then ordered muggle take-away for lunch. They planned everything out that they wanted to see first, second and then third and found a reasonably priced place to stay while still remaining close to the town. Now, Hermione was walking as quietly as she could in to the manor hoping that she wouldn’t awaken Scorpius as it was well after his bedtime.
“Where were you?” She heard from the shadows, she searched the area and finally found a pair of glittering silver eyes staring at her.
“I visited Ginny and Luna” Hermione told him “I told you that this morning before I left
“I” He said gliding closer to her “Was under the impression that you would be back at a reasonable time”
“It is only seven” She pointed out “You make it sound like it’s midnight and I was out clubbing”
“Mimsy made dinner” He said “And we waited”
“She always makes dinner” She pointed out again “I just didn’t show up this time”
“And it was rude” He snapped “I was a little worried”
“Really?” She asked as she felt her heart constrict with a new feeling and butterflies flutter around her stomach.
“Yes” He said “Well, I feel responsible of you now don’t I?” He turned away from her “Sometimes, I feel like you may be a target for trouble”
“Oh really?!” She snapped angrily “Well, you won’t have to worry about that too much longer now will you?” She glared and her heart felt like it was breaking in to two instead of constricting “Next year I’m likely to be moving to Russia”
“I only wonder what sort of trouble you will get in to while there” He said almost coldly as he started for the stairs.
“You will learn that I can take care of myself” Hermione said “And on Monday I will be leaving to go to America for two weeks”
“What?!” He turned quickly to look at her and nearly fell off the bottom step “America?” He looked around and then worked on trying to not look so concerned “What about your studies?”
“I have a vacation for those two weeks” She answered “You would have known that had you ever paid attention to me when I talk instead of practically sucking face with Remus!”
“I…” He glared at her “I was not sucking face with Remus, we have been working on a school…I thought that you’d be happy!”
“Is that why you’re doing this?” Hermione asked “To make me happy?”
“Of course not” He sniffed “Have a good time in America”
“Have a good night!” Hermione snapped and walked in to the kitchen in search of some food. Lucius shook his head and walked off towards his bedroom on the third floor where he could attempt to figure out what was wrong with him.
Hermione sat down and while muttering to herself she ate her sandwich. When she was done with that she walked out and started the long walk up to her bedroom. She was confused about how he was treating her, sometimes he was perfectly kind and sweet to her and then others times he was kind of a jerk to her. She stopped when her foot hit the third step and looked over the banister and looked down at the hallway below her. The sitting room door was open again, it had been closed when she and Lucius had been talking but now it was open…was he in there? She wasn’t about the go in there to find out, that damn sitting room gave her the creeps something fierce. She turned away and continued up the stairs and down the hallway never noticing the black shadowy figure that had moved through the shadows in the hallways…all the way up to her bedroom.
