Hermione was sitting in a rocking chair with a baby bundled in her arms in a cream colored blanket. She could hear it cooing at her as she sang softly and watched the world outside get covered in a blanket of fluffy white snow. Frost drew beautiful, magical pictures on the window panes and the manor was completely silent. She knew that the house-elves were moving around, cooking dinner for when Draco got home from University and cleaning their messes along the way. However, they were giving her space and time with her newborn baby as the child was only two days old.
“Hermione” Narcissa’s soft voice made her jump and she looked over her shoulder at the tall approaching form “How is he?”
“Sleeping” Hermione answered as she lowered the blanket from the pale, little face “Cooing in his sleep like an angel”
“He will be the perfect blend of you and his father” Narcissa smiled “May I hold him?”
“Of course” Hermione answered with a smile towards her mother-in-law as she held the bundle out to her.
“Hello” Narcissa said “Hello, Cyrus”

Draco paced outside the door that led to the guest room that Hermione had been using as her own. Bellatrix was downstairs explaining what had happened to the dark lord as he’d come back shortly after the escape of Potter and his little followers. He was not amused with no being contacted right away and had punished many of the death eaters, Bella included, but had left the small, blonde-haired family alone. Narcissa had been in the room with a house-elf assisting her for the last hour and a half with Lucius sitting in a chair in the hallway enjoying a drink and the occasional smirk when Bella would scream in pain. Draco had three drinks but he couldn’t sit and he couldn’t remain still at all, he found himself pacing back and forth quickly while continuously running his hands through his hair.
“She’s really gotten to you, hasn’t she?” Lucius asked with an entertained smirk on his handsome face.
“How could she not have?” Draco snapped “You knew this would happen, you knew I would fall in love with her”
“Then let’s say that’s my reasoning behind what I did” Lucius said “Because now, she has to love you”
“I don’t…” Draco started but his father handed him the pictures and the letter from Molly Weasley “Why are you giving me these?”
“To see what kind of man you are, Draco” Lucius answered, seemingly pretty pleased with himself as he watched the younger mans face.
“What do you mean?” Draco asked, clearly seeing a trap within his fathers actions.
“Do you love her enough to accept that if you gave her all the proof of her perversions we have that you’d be able to let her go?” Lucius asked “Do you think she loves you enough to stay?”
“Why are you doing this?” Draco whispered.
“If you are the type of man that my father was” Lucius said as if he hadn’t spoken a word “You would keep those papers and pictures and you would wave them in her face every minute of your lives together” Draco shook his head as if answering “If you’re a man like me, you’d burn all that evidence and only let her think you still had them”
“And if I am neither type of man?” Draco asked around the lump of emotion clogging his throat and raised tear filled eyes to his father “What then?”
“You know what then” Lucius answered “Then…you hand those papers back and allow your lady to have her freedom should she want it”
“Why would you dangle something that I’ve wanted for so long in my face” Draco asked “Just to snatch it back and tell me that I should let her choose…what kind of monster are you?”
“The kind that watched his mother” Lucius answered “A woman caught in the same situation as Hermione Granger, kill herself slowly with alcohol and then finally with her own wand” He shook his head “Seeing you so obviously upset has upset me I daresay” The veil was down again and the mask back on, he was the cold and unfeeling man he’d always been “I’m going to get some more to drink”
“Draco” Narcissa closed the door behind her “I’ve given her all the potions I safely can and Severus will be here in a few hours with some more less severe potions for her to take” She rubbed his upper arms “You should get some rest, sweetie”
“But if she wakes up…” He started and she shook her head.
“I have her in a magical coma” Narcissa said.
“Narcissa” Came the hissing voice of Voldemort and both Malfoy’s turned to find him standing a few feet away “Will she live?”
“She should” Narcissa said honestly “But there was a lot of damage done to her spine, neck and head. Those are places that don’t like to heal well…it’s touch and go right now”
“What did the monster do to her?” Voldemort asked carefully, while wondering if she’d be able to carry a baby now.
“From the looks of the cell” Narcissa said “It appears he slammed her repeatedly in to the stone wall, one time her head was snapped to the side and three more times it was her back and the back of her head that took the brunt of the damage”
“And what was she doing in there?” He asked.
“Nothing that we can see” Narcissa said “But she’d gone down there to torture him but he got the upper hand”
“I hope she pulls out of it” He said unconvincingly “I need her to carry my heir”
“Yes, sir” Draco said lowering his head respectfully, Voldemort walked away down the hallway and away from the two Malfoys “Mum, may I go in to see her?”
“Yes” She answered “But don’t jostle her at all”
“I won’t” He promised and walked in to the room.
Hermione was all patched up and lying still in the bed, her breathing was shallow and seemed labored but she was still beautiful. He walked over to where she was laying and took her hand running his finger over the back of her hand. She smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, he seemed to calm her greatly and she was breathing a little better. He decided that he would spend all his time in this room only leaving to shower and change his clothes before coming back to her.
“Oh Hermione” He breathed “If you’d told me when I was eleven I would be sitting by your bed begging you to hold on and wake up soon I’d have…well, my father would have heard about it” He snorted to himself lightly knowing that if she was awake to hear this she’d have been laughing “I hated you back then. But it changed when we were thirteen, I was so embarrassed when you hit me but your strength was something to admire” He shook his head “Then by sixth year you were all I could think about, I dreamt about you and all I wanted was for you to notice me but you wouldn’t” He smiled “Then my father blackmailed you…I’m hoping that you love me back, finally seeing the real me” He kissed the back of her hand “I love you, Hermione Granger”
