Chapter One – Our Past

15th March 1997 – Grimmauld Place (Order of the Phoenix Headquarters)

It was early in the morning, just after three o'clock, Hermione was stood by the kitchen sick pouring her cold tea down the drain. She looked out of the foggy window and looked out at the night sky. The moon was full and the stars were shining through the fog and rain. The thunderstorm had finally stopped and Hermione now hoped to get some sleep. Since she had moved to Grimmauld with the Weasley's and Harry she didn't sleep well, she knew the house was perfectly safe but somehow she never felt safe here.

She put the cup on the side and turned to walk out the kitchen and up the stairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs she heard voice. She knew one of them belonged to Professor Severus Snape but she couldn't quite figure out who the other voices belonged to. She quietly crept towards the kitchen door and listened to what the voices were saying.

'I'm sorry Draco.' A deep voice said to the young man. Hermione couldn't quite make out who was speaking; she knew that voice from somewhere but she wasn't quite sure where from.

'You killed her! You're the one to blame for this! You took her to him and he killed her, you might as well have killed her yourself.' Draco whispered harshly, she could tell that he was upset.

'Draco, that's no way to speak to your Father.' Professor Snape said. Hermione's eyes widened as she realised that Lucius Malfoy was in the kitchen with his son and Professor Snape.

Hermione bit her lip and looked around. She needed to alert someone. She stepped back from the doorway and walked towards the stairs. Just as she put her foot on the first step she was pulled around to come face to face with her dark eyes Professor.

'Listening in Granger?' The Professor said as he sneered at the young girl.

Hermione pulled her arm out of his gasp and stared up at him. 'Why did you bring them here? They could kill anyone of us!' she whispered harshly.

'Do you think I am that stupid Miss Granger?' He said smirking. 'The Headmaster knows they are here. They joined the Order earlier this evening.'

'I'm part of the family now Granger.' Draco said smirking from the kitchen hallway.

Hermione turned and looked at him. She took in his appearance, he was paler than usual and his eyes were red and puffy like he had been crying. She looked towards the older Malfoy and he too looked pale and worn out.

'The Headmaster will be here tomorrow morning to explain to the others.' Snape said as he looked at Hermione. 'I want you to show Draco the spare bedroom on the third floor situated next to my own.'

'Yes sir.' She replied obediently.

Hermione started to walk up the stairs with Draco following her. They walked up to the third floor and Hermione opened the door to the room her would be staying in. The room originally belonged to his mother when she lived here with her family many years ago. As he walked into the room he fingered her name sign on the door and tried not to let Hermione see the tears welling up in his eyes.

'Breakfast is at eight o'clock.' She said softly as she walked out of the room and stood in the doorway.

'Okay.' He replied as he turned his back to her.

'I'm sorry about your mother Ma...Draco. If you need anything I'm down the corridor.' She said as she closed the door not letting him reply.

Hermione walked down the hallway and into her room. Ironically her room belonged to Andromeda Black now Tonks who ran off to marry and Muggleborn. The room was lighter than any other room in the house and was filled with books. She closed her door and placed a locking charm on it and then dropped down onto bed.

Hermione lay staring up at the ceiling for nearly two hours without falling to sleep. She got up from her bed and pulled on loose black jogging bottoms and a white tank top and crept downstairs trying not to wake anyone.

She walked into the kitchen and turned on the light and heard a groan from behind her. She quickly turned and pointed her wand towards the noise and found a rather sleepy and drunk Lucius Malfoy resting his head against the table.

'Turn the fucking light off.' He said callously as he covered his eyes with his hand.

Hermione did and then walked towards the kettle. 'Coffee?' she asked.

'Black, two sugars.' He said as he lifted his head and looked at Hermione. He watched as Hermione made coffee and tea the muggle way.

She placed a mug in front of him and sat the opposite side of the table. The both sipped their hot drinks in silence both glancing up at each other ever so often. Hermione finished her tea and place the mug in the middle of the table; she looked up at Malfoy Senior and then spoke.

'Why did you join the Order?' She asked.

'I wondered how long it would take you to ask.' Lucius replied. 'They killed my wife, made my son watch as they tortured her, made him do things he should never have to do or see and it's ruining our lives.'

'I'm sorry about your wife.' Hermione said softly.

'Thank you Ms Granger.' He said as he nodded his head in acceptance.

'Will you spy like Professor Snape?' She asked.

'Yes.' He replied. 'I have taken a vow to help anyway I can. Draco will do the same.'

Hermione nodded and then covered her mouth as she yawned. 'Sorry.' She mumbled.

'You should go to bed Ms Granger.' He replied.

'I don't sleep well.' She replied. 'I don't feel safe here. This house...it makes me on edge.'

'You're not the only one.' Lucius replied. 'I once stayed here as a young man when I was courting Narcissa. I stayed on the first floor away from Narcissa's room and she came to my room only for us to be found by the Father. He nearly stopped our wedding contract.'

'Your Wedding contract?' Hermione asked.

'Arranged of course, all Pureblood weddings are arranged.' He said. 'I actually wanted to marry Bellatrix but my father thought Narcissa was a better wife material.' He said. 'Obviously now I realise my father knew best.'

'I would never have an arranged marriage.' Hermione said softly. 'Did you ever love her?' she asked.

Lucius looked up at Hermione stared into her brown eyes like he was looking into her soul. She quickly looked down and apologies.

'I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked. I should go.' She said as she stood up.

Lucius followed suit and stood up as well. 'I didn't love her. I respected her, cared for her, gave her everything she needed but she was only the mother of my child not my lover.' He said.

Hermione slowly turned and looked at Lucius and nodded. Lucius stepped forward closing the gap between them. Hermione looked up at the tall blonde man and tried to take a step back from him when he pulled her flush against his chest and kissed her gently at first and then ruthlessly like he was seeking her.

Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck to balance herself as he pulled her to him. She then moved her hands to his shoulders and tried to push him back. Lucius broke the kiss and looked at Hermione who was flushed.

Lucius quickly dropped his hands from her body like fire. He quickly pushed past her and rushed off up the stairs leaving Hermione alone in the kitchen confused and slightly turned on.
