~~Kruss Estate~~
Khira Kruss walked back into her bedroom after having gotten the message from Draco through the gazing orb. He never used that unless it was important, so she figured she needed to find her wife immediately. She was jolted from her thoughts as the fire in her room flared up and her wife stepped through.
“Alexandria Maria Kruss where have you been?! Draco-”
“Something happened at the Manor and I need you to sit down before I tell you Khira. It involves Narcissa,” she said cutting her off and Khira noticed her sad face.
“What happened love? Is Cissa alright?” Alex shook her head and pulled her close, sitting on the bed and pulling her wife to sit next to her.
“Lucius killed her. Right in front of my eyes the bastard killed her. I haven't had time to tell Draco yet. I had to get him out of that house. Cissa made me promise to protect him as well.” the darker haired woman replied.
“No not Cissa!” the smaller girl said hugging her tightly,
“I need to tell Draco, but I need you to go with me. We need to take a pensieve or a memory orb with us. I need to show him some memories and what happened. He won't believe me otherwise.”
“Of course I'll go with you love! He is like our own son as well.” Khira asked quietly.
“Yeah...” she said quietly.
“What is it Alex?”
“I sent him to Potter's house” she said, looking about to pass out.
“I know you did. He used the gazing orb about 10 minutes ago to ask if you were home yet.”
“That's not all” she paused to collect herself, “Granger, Potter's friend, is Amelia's granddaughter. She inherited her grandmother's gift, but hasn't been trained in it. The other day Amelia told me that if something happened, send him to Potter's and her Granddaughter would be there waiting. There's something about her but I can't put my finger on it. When I spoke to Amelia she seemed happy about them meeting. I think that Draco hasn't told us everything about Granger.”
“Amelia wouldn’t tell you anything, but she was fine with sending Draco straight into the lion's den so to speak...” Khira saw Alex nod, and growled before standing up and walking to the window, “Typical Amelia. She's playing matchmaker again I bet.”
“Did you forget she did the same for us?” Alex replied, walking over and snaking her arms around her wife's waist, kissing her shoulder.
“We were already attracted to each other. Draco told us he despises Hermione Granger and she feels the same about him.”
“I think Draco lied to us.” Alex whispered causing Khira to roll her eyes.
“You think he secretly fancies her? Please Alex! The boy says he hates her every time he brings her up."
"I used to say the same type of things about you, but I still thought you were gorgeous when we were in school."
"Calm yourself Alex. Now is not the time to be trying to get into my knickers" Alex pouted at this.
“I can't help that I find my wife so damn sexy even after all these years.” she growled lightly, the smirk evident in her voice.
"When did you last feed?" Khira asked.
"Three weeks ago."
“Gippy!” Khira called out and a house elf appeared next to them, “Gippy please go and get some of the blood stored in the cellar for Alex. She needs to feed before we leave tomorrow.”
"Stubborn witch" Alex muttered, sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Yes Mistress” the elf bowed before popping out, only to pop back in a few seconds later with what looked like a wine bottle, “There you are mistress, a bottle of one of the oldest blends. I will leave it here on the bedside table for you.”
“Thank you Gippy. You may go” Alex whispered before noticing the owl sleeping in the corner on the perch, “Who's owl is that Khira?”
“That is Potter's owl. He let Draco use it to send the letter on the table below it,” she stated as Alex walked over to the owl, who promptly woke up and looked at her oddly.
“A snow owl at that. She is definitely a rare bird. They have to breed this species to be able to have them at the shop in Diagon Alley. They nest so far north after all. Did he say a name?”
“No he did not. It is a shame he didn’t. This magnificent of a bird deserves to be called by her name at all times” Khira walked over and noticed a thin band around the birds foot, “Lift your foot up girl. Let me see that band on there.”
“Hedwig” Alex stated seeing the band and reading it off, “Is that your name girl? Hedwig?”
They both smiled when the owl bobbed its head at them and took the treat Alex offered, rubbing her head against Alex's hand before she picked up the letter and read it.

Khira,
Alex sent me to Potter's house about an hour ago and I need to speak with her. Have her come see me as soon as possible. I want answers and so does Potter, Weasley, and Granger. Please send any reply via this owl and no other.
Draco

“We'll go tomorrow and tell Draco everything. I think when we finally do go to see him, we should go by floo and take Hedwig in a cage back to him. Give her a bit of a rest” Alex stated walking over to the bottle and opening it, before drinking a large amount from it.
“Alex, we should get a few hours sleep. In the morning we can go to meet Draco. We're all tired, and need rest.”
“I know Khira. I just can't believe that Cissa is gone. That bastard will pay for doing this to her. I know Draco will vow to avenge his mother as well.”
“Let's go to bed. We'll discuss this more tomorrow whenever we go to see him.”
The brunette nodded and quickly drank the rest of the bottle before vanishing it, putting on her pajamas, and climbing into bed. She curled up next to her wife and kissed her lightly before closing her eyes, both of them falling asleep instantly.

~~The Dursley's~~
The next morning Hermione woke up at around eight and looked around to notice both Malfoy and Ron were still asleep. She looked over where Harry was sitting and noticed he had fallen asleep as well. She smiled and walked over to him, placing her cover on top of him. He stirred lightly, opening his eyes, and she motioned for him to be quiet.
“I'll take watch now. You rest Harry” she whispered, him smiling and nodding lightly before closing his eyes again.
Hermione turned turned back around, sitting on the couch again, and looked over towards Malfoy. She saw he was still asleep and took a minute to look at him. He was so peaceful when he slept that you wouldn’t think he was so evil otherwise. She looked him over and noticed he'd grown a couple inches, his hair had grown longer, almost longer than Lucius and if someone honestly wanted to say so, they could claim he WAS Lucius until they saw his face. He was more muscular than his father, but you couldn't tell unless you were really observant. Overall she had to admit he was growing into a very gorgeous man, regardless of his attitude. She wouldn't admit that if he wasn't so much of an arse to people, she might actually like him.
“Having fun watching me Granger?” she had barely heard him and jumped, before seeing him smirking at her and him open his eyes.
“Bloody hell Malfoy! Scare me why don't you.”
“You are the one who was watching me sleep Granger. Not my fault you were caught so easily. Gryffindors never were good at being subtle and cunning” he stated crossing his arms.
“Well forgive me Malfoy but what can you expect when your all the sudden here uninvited-”
“I didn't want to be here Mudblood. You think I chose this? I would much rather have stayed home than be shoved through the floo and wind up being fed to the dogs basically” he stated glaring at her.
“Accio wand” she said raising her hand and summoning his wand. She knew he was losing his temper and would attack if provoked, “So the truth finally comes out. You think Alex betrayed you.”
“Not at all. I believe she had a reason for doing what she did, but I still don’t trust her judgment to leave me at the hands of such incompetent fools as you all are.”
“If we're so incompetent Malfoy, why don't you just go ahead and prove it. At least some of us don't have inbred families like all the aristocratic purebloods do.”
“The only family who has EVER had any incest in it was the Gaunt family Granger. I would think someone who spends so much time with their nose in books would know that.”
“Oh yes, I spend my entire summer hounding over books” she said, rolling her eyes, before noticing Harry was not snoring and knew he was listening into the conversation.
“The great Hermione Granger doesn't spend all her time hovering over books? I highly doubt that” Draco replied, having also noticed she had glanced slightly at Potter and picked up that he was finally not snoring , 'Bout time you noticed you bloody woman.'
At that moment there was a tapping on the back window and Hermione stood up to retrieve the letter. She noticed it was her grandmother's owl and she was happy to see it. She let the owl in and took the letter, giving the bird a treat. The bird squawked at her slightly before flying over to land on the back of the chair Draco was sitting at. He looked up at the bird and it stared at him before jumping across the back of the chair and pecking him on the head once and flying back to land on Hermione's shoulder, causing her to giggle.
“Bloody bird never has liked me” he said rubbing the spot the bird pecked.
“You know this bird?”
“Of course I know the owl of the Great Amelia Burnem. Who in the wizarding world DOESN'T know her. How do you know her?”
“She's my grandmother” Hermione said quietly.
“Well don't let me keep you from seeing what granny wanted to say to you” he said with a sigh. Hermione rolled her eyes and opened the letter.

Dear Hermione,
I know I left you wondering all of the details, and I plan on answering them today. I will arrive at Harry's house at around noon to tell you everything, along with young Mr. Malfoy. Yes dear, I do know him. I will explain later how I know him and everything will become clear after that. Please be careful around him though. His magic is not stable at the current time. He is needing training, and I plan on training you as well before you return to Hogwarts.
With love,
Granny Amelia

“Harry I know you're awake, so look at me” she said, and he turned to stare at her with a smirk, “Amelia is coming here today at noon. We need to get Ron up and all of us get dressed. It's already nearly ten.
“Alright, we might as well get him up.”
“May I?” They saw Malfoy smirking from the corner and raised their eyebrows before smirking as well and nodding, “Spiculum”
A sudden white bolt leaped from Draco's hand and shot towards the red head's behind before he bolted up with a scream. Harry and Hermione both doubled over laughing as Ron started sputtering and rubbing his behind.
“What in the bloody hell was that?” he said looking around and noticing all three of them wearing similar faces, “What is going on?”
“We needed to wake you up Ron. You're the hardest to wake up so Malfoy offered to do it” Harry replied before Ron glared at Draco.
“What did you do?” he said, standing up and approaching the blond.
“Just a simple stinging hex Weasley. It obviously worked since you're awake after all.”
“You bloody prat bastard!” Ron yelled, before being pulled back.
“Calm down Ron. It was just a joke. Come on. We need to get dressed. Hermione's gran is coming over” Harry stated, pulling Ron along with him upstairs.
“There is a bathroom down here if you wish to get dressed and cleaned up in there Malfoy. Through the kitchen and to the right, just past the counter” Hermione said motioning towards the kitchen.
Draco nodded and opened his trunk, pulling out some clothes. He figured he might as well go muggle and pulled out some black baggy jeans and silver shirt. He grabbed some underwear and walked into the kitchen looking for the bathroom. Hermione pointed to the door and handed him his wand, before he walked in, grimacing at the decor in the room. He quickly stripped down, and cast some cleaning and refreshment charms on himself, before pulling on all of his clothes. Once done he leaned over the sink and growled upon seeing his hair so long. He decided to leave it, and would ask Alex to cut his hair for him. Once he was done he grabbed all of his dirty clothes and walked out of the room to find Potter was back in the living room as well. He walked over and sat in the chair he'd previously been in and sighed, placing the clothes in the trunk and closing it.
“Malfoy I have to ask. Why is your hair so long? I know when people gain their inheritance that sometimes their hair can grow slightly, but yours is as long as Lucius' hair was” Harry stated looking at him.
“I inherited elf and veela Potter. It causes you to have enhanced hearing and such, along with your hair growing to its full length. I can cut my hair and it will never grow back to this as badly, unless I let it.”
Just then there was a slight rumble from Draco's trunk and he opened it to see the gazing orb glowing. He pulled it out and set it on it's stand, resizing it, before placing his hand on it and muttering something they all didnt understand. Khira's face immediately came into view above the orb and he smirked.
“Morning Dragon. I didn't wake you did I?” she asked and he shook his head, “Good! I figured it was best to let you know Alex came home a little after we talked last night. We will be leaving here in a few minutes to come see you, and when we get there we need to have a serious talk with you. Also, we will be bringing Mr. Potter's owl back with us, and have her in a temporary cage with us. We'll be travelling by floo, so she may not be too happy about that and we do apologize ahead of time. Alex doesn't feel right with bringing her along and apparating at this time of day into a muggle neighborhood.”
“That is fine. Hedwig will understand” Harry stated, stepping forward.
“Okay then we will finish getting ready here and we will be over in a few minutes. We'll see you all then,” she cut the connection off before any of them could respond.
“Harry do you want to make some coffee and tea or should I?” Hermione stated and he nodded.
“I'll do it really fast 'Mione. You stay in here,” he stated walking past her before yelling, “RON HURRY UP AND GET DOWN HERE!”
“Blimey mate, calm down! I'm right here” he said walking down the steps with a towel around his shoulders.
They all heard a rumble and Draco stood up and moved away from the floo just as Khira came tumbling through, and screeching filled the room. Draco smirked as she set the cage in her hands down and dusted herself off. It was then that Hermione got a good look at her and felt like she knew her. Khira had strawberry blond hair that was in soft curls falling down her back and was around five foot ten and looked to weigh about 180 pounds. She was dressed in a light blue shirt and tan khakis, with black sandles. She had a charcoal gray cloak on that was clasped around her neck, which went to her knees. She was followed shortly by Alex who immediately pulled out her wand and cast scourgify on them and removed her silver cloak. She was wearing a pair of black slacks, light blue dress shirt, and had a black plaid shirt that was unbuttoned over that. She had a silver medallion around her neck, with a small gold dragon with garnet eyes, while Khira had a dragon with sapphire eyes around hers. Standing before them Alexandria Kruss was an amazing six foot tall and weighed about the same as Khira. She bent down and opened the cage for Hedwig who jumped out onto her offered arm and screeched.
“Hush Hedwig. You are home now girl. Go to your master” she said quietly and the bird flew over to Harry's shoulder and lightly nibbled on his cheek, “You have a very happy owl there Mr. Potter.”
“Thank you for bringing her back,” he replied, reaching up to pet Hedwig.
“Since I assume you all do not know who I am I will introduce myself and my partner,” she pointed to herself and Khira, “My name is Alexandria Kruss, I am the lead officer of the Russian Ministry of Magic's Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures department. This is my wife Khira, who is a certified Potion Mistress and can rival that of Professor Snape.”
“Welcome, I'm Harry Potter, this is Ron Weasley, and that is Hermione Granger. Hermione's gran is coming over soon too.”
“Figures she'd show up when we were here” they heard Khira mutter.
“Khira be nice” Alex said quietly as she looked around, her eyes stopping on Hermione for a second before she shared a look with Khira.
'We know her but I can't place where I know her from' she stated telepathically to her wife.
'We'll find out in due time love.'
“Ron, can you do a favor for me?” Harry asked turning to the red head, “Hedwig needs to rest on her perch upstairs, can you take her up there please?”
“Sure mate,” he replied taking the bird upstairs immediately.
Once he was out of sight, Alex transfigured a few chairs to be loveseats and sat down on one of them, motioning for everyone to sit down. She pulled out a memory orb from her pocket and enlarged it, placing it on the table in front of them all.
"Before we start with that, I want to know how you knew the address for this house" Harry stated and she sighed.
"I set some of the wards on this house at the request of your mother."
"What?!" Hermione and Harry both asked stunned.
"Because of my expertise in magical creatures, she asked me to place wards on this house specifically to thwart werewolves and such, and I was made one of the secret keepers."
"How do you still have access to the knowledge of this house then?" Harry asked.
"Dumbledore never removed me. I guess he forgot I was added as one or just didn't care. A few days ago I was contacted by Hermione's grandmother, and she told me to send Draco somewhere safe if anything happened. When she sent me the letter I went directly to Dumbledore and he approved of me sending him here and said to contact him if anything happened. I haven't done that yet, but I will once we're done talking to Amelia."
"What happened last night Alex?" Draco asked and she sighed turning to him.
“I'm going to tell you what happened, and then if you still dont believe me, I will let you see the memory of it, alright?” she asked and he nodded. "Draco I hate having to tell you this, but you can't return to Malfoy Manor. Your father went into his study after he found out you got your inheritance and he was about to blast you off the family tree when your mother walked in and stopped him. The two of them started arguing and it escalated. Your mother drew her wand on him and refused to let him do it. He was so angry that he used the killing curse on her Draco.”
“He what?”
“I'm sorry Draco” she replied, tears rushing down her face as she pulled Narcissa's necklace out of her pocket and handed it to him, “She's gone. The Ministry came and got her last night after I sent you here. I promised your mum that I'd protect you and that's why I did what I did. I sent you here because it was the safest place for you right now.”
“She can't be gone!”
“I'm sorry Draco but it's true. I have the paperwork with me from the Ministry that confirms her death.”
“NO!” he screamed with his head in his hands.
“I wish it wasn't true, but it is” she stated and pulled out her wand, tapping the memory orb and a hologram of her memory popped up.
Draco looked up, Hermione noticing the tear streaks on his face as he watched the memory progress. She watched along with the others as Lucius pulled his wand, and both curses flew, hitting the intended target. They watched as she ran back to Draco's room and packed his things, before shoving him through the floo network, before going back to the room and seeing Narcissa's lifeless body. Once it was done playing, Alex looked over at Draco and noticed his eyes had turned dark grey, almost black. When he finally looked up at all of them his eyes had turned almost black. The next words he spoke gave them all chills.
“Lucius Malfoy is a dead man.”
