Chapter 2
“To what do I the pleasure of your visit Lucius?” Dumbledore asked the younger man.
Lucius looked at him and said the last thing Dumbledore thought he would ever hear. “I want to join the Order.”
Albus looked at Lucius in shock. “Why?” he choked out.
Lucius sighed and looked expectantly at the Headmaster. “Why don't you summon Severus and get a bottle of Veritaserum so I only have to explain this once and you know I'm being completely truthful.” Albus raised his eyebrow at Lucius.
“Are you not afraid that Severus will tell Tom about you being here?”
“No, I've known Severus most of our lives. I've always known he was really your spy and not the Dark Lord's.” Lucius smirked at the old man.
Albus laughed and rose to summon Severus. Once the shock wore off Severus dosed Lucius with the Veritaserum. Once Lucius's eyes glazed over the questions began.
“What is your name?”
“Lucius Abraxas Malfoy”
“What is your wife's name?”
“I am no longer married. I divorced Narcissa this afternoon.”
“What is your son's name?”
“I have no son.”
“What!?!”
“That is why I was able to divorce Narcissa with no consequences. She was unfaithful to me and had a child with her lover, whomever he maybe.”
“I am sorry Lucius.”
“Don't be. I'm not. I'm actually rather relieved to be free of the both of them.”
The questioning went on and Lucius told them about the spell that hit him the night of Voldemort's return, what happened the next morning and what he had found in his research. Then explained why he wished to join the Order. With his Dark Mark gone he was free of him but just sitting back and watching could carry dire circumstances for him. Not because of his previous affiliation but because he did not want to live in a world the Dark Lord would create. Besides, he never believed that Pureblood ideal anyway and knew it was a dead end street. Look at Crabbe, Goyle and Longbottom. Then look at Miss Granger. Once Severus and Albus where convinced of Lucius's sincerity they gave him the antidote and welcomed him to the Order of the Phoenix. Albus then revealed the location of headquarters and let him know that he would be setting up a meeting in order to introduce him to the rest of the members as well as a select few others. Lucius agreed to meet everyone.
A few days later Dumbledore's phoenix showed up at the manor and gave Lucius a letter and quickly flamed away. The letter gave him a date and a time and said nothing else. He quickly burned the letter. The meeting was this night. Lucius quickly finished the family business he was working on and went to change clothes. Ten minutes later he found himself entering 12 Grimmauld Place. Severus met him in the hallway and told him to wait in the sitting room till he came back for him. Lucius looked around in dismay. This was once a grand old house but now it had been abandoned to the Dark. He set gingerly on one of the couches and tried to wait patiently.
Several minutes later Severus returned for him. “Be prepared Lucius. They where only told there was a new member; not who you are. Albus always was one for drama.”
Lucius chuckled knowing that his own sense of the dramatic would be thoroughly satisfied tonight. He squared his shoulders and followed Severus out of the sitting room and into a noisy dining room that suddenly went silent.
Dumbledore's blue eyes twinkled merrily as he announced, “Please welcome our newest member, Lucius Malfoy!”
Everyone in the room was frozen in shock until someone shouted “Bloody Hell!”
Molly Weasley rounded on her son, “Ronald Weasley, you mind your language young man!” These outbursts seemed to bring everyone out of their shocked silence and the room exploded with shouting. Lucius watched in amusement as everyone argued back and forth while his eyes scanned the room till his eyes met the cinnamon eyes that belonged to Hermione Granger. She wasn't fighting or yelling. Instead she was studying him. She continued to look him in the eye for a few minutes and then she suddenly smiled, stood up, put her fingers to her lips and whistled so loud he was surprised his ears didn't bleed. Her whistle got everyone's attention and the yelling stopped. Now all eyes where on her.
“You all are being ridiculous.” She said in a quiet voice. “If Professor Dumbledore brought him here then he fully trusts him.” There where mutters around the room then Hermione dropped a bomb shell. “I believe he is sincere.” Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. She just smiled and sat back down.
Albus laughed heartily. “Thank you Miss Granger. Now if your all settled down I was going to tell you that I trust him because he allowed me to question him under Veritaserum.” After that everyone calmed down and Mrs. Weasley decided that the children had enough information and it was time for them to go. Hermione rolled her eyes but didn't argue. As she left the kitchen she brushed past Lucius who whispered a quick thank you to her. She smiled and winked and proceeded to leave. As the meeting proceeded and everyone decided his role he pondered Miss Granger.
As she was leaving he caught her scent and it was heavenly. It had taken all of his control not to follow her out of the room. He wanted to bury his face in her hair and feel her in his arms. Her eyes haunted him and her smile stirred his desire. He shook his head. Now was not the time or place for such thoughts. Plus she is too young, around 15, a child. But heaven help him; he still wanted her.
The meeting finally adjourned. The Order decided his role would be to play the spy. He would make it look like he was trying to get close to the Order to get information but would really be giving the Order information. As he was leaving he saw her again. She was sitting at the bottom of the stairs and stood when he came near her. Once again her scent assaulted him. He wondered if she would taste as good as she smelled but then tried to force that idea out of his head. He stopped to speak to her.
“Once again Miss Granger, I wanted to thank you for standing up for me in there.”
She looked up at him through her lashes and said, “It really was no problem Mr. Malfoy. I was only stating my opinion.”
“Well thank you for your opinion then” He said with a soft smile. His smile widened when she blushed and looked down.
“Your very welcome, Sir.” she whispered. Lucius knew he should leave but he wanted to speak with her for at least a few more minutes.
“May I ask why you are down here on the stairs and not upstairs with your friends?”
She looked at him with her young old eyes and said, “Some of my friends are mad at me for defending you but they will get over it. They always give me the same problem when I defend Professor Snape's loyalties.”
“I'm very sorry that I've caused you trouble with your friends Miss Granger. Maybe I can make it up to you some day.” Lucius wasn't sure what he was offering but he did know he didn't want to cause her problems.
“As I said; they will get over it.” She smiled up at him.
Her smile and her eyes caused his heart to stutter. He smiled at her gently and said, “As much as I'm enjoying our little conversation; I really must be going. I have many things to settle now that I've been excepted into the Order. I hope we will get the chance to speak again soon Miss Granger.” He took her hand in his and lightly kissed the back of it he smiled to himself when he heard her gasp and let out squeak when his lips touched her hand. He quickly exited the house before he did something that would get them both in trouble.
