Lucius walked outside of the manor home and saw Narcissa sitting on a large rock that sat near the pond that was in the backyard. It was far too cold and yet she was in a silky, spaghetti strapped nightie and watching the water ripple and the sunshine reflecting off of it. She turned her head to him and her sheet of golden-white blonde hair slid over her back and on to her opposite shoulder. Her smile was happier than he had ever seen, her white teeth glowed and her eyes danced merrily. He walked forward and felt a lump in his throat, tears blurred her beauty and made it difficult for him to see her. He dropped to his knees next to the rock and placed his face in his hands shaking his head.
“I’m sorry” He sobbed “I’m sorry…forgive me, please”
“You were forgiven before it happened” Narcissa told him “We were not in love but it doesn’t mean that we didn’t love one another. You loved me and I knew that and you loved our son so much and he and I both know that…he’s still there for you and his own son”
“Even as a ghost he is a better father than I ever was” Lucius whispered brokenly.
“You provided for us and made decisions that made sense at the time even if they turned out to be not so great” Narcissa said “You have a chance to do it all over again…so why are you dreaming about me again?”
“Narcissa” He sobbed brokenly “I don’t think I can do this…”
“You can” She answered, as she moved down from her rock and knelt in front of him taking his hands in hers “She loves you and is ready to be whatever you need her to be. You need to worry less about her leaving you, stop spending so many hours in the office…your family is not in that office, Lucius” She put her hand on his cheek “Your family is in the house, in the playroom, the sitting room and floating all around your manor”
“But…” He whispered.
“Stop worrying about me” She said “I’m happy where I am and I want you to be happy too”

Lucius’s eyes snapped open to see sunlight shining through the window. He looked around and then rolled on to his back and looked to Hermione’s side of the bed. It was empty, she was already gone for the day, she had finals today so she wouldn’t be coming home during her breaks she would be in the library studying. He got up and used the loo, took a shower and got dressed, he would go in to the office and be home for dinner at five. When he walked out of the bathroom he saw a note on her bedside table and lifted it.
Lucius-
I have finals today so I won’t be home during my breaks. I won’t be home for dinner and to be perfectly honest I don’t think I’ll be home tonight at all. I need some time away, give Scorpius a hug for me and tell him I love him.
-Hermione.
He sat back down and sighed as he read and then reread the letter. He loved her…what did he need to do to prove it, he considered buying her a new house but she wasn’t like Narcissa at all. When he used to have fights with Cissy he would just go out and buy her jewels or a new summer home and she would forgive him. Hermione was special, different and wouldn’t be easily bought off…he sighed and leaned further back in his chair. He felt the coldness before his son and best friend popped in to existence and looked at him. Severus, who had gotten quite good at picking things up, lifted the letter from the table and read it.
“So she’s gone” Severus said “What did you do?”
“What makes you think I did something?” Lucius asked angrily.
“Because it’s you” Draco snorted.
“I…” He frowned “I was in the office until the wee hours of morning last night after we had a fight”
“Ah” Draco said “The old ‘I’m wrong in this fight so I will hide until you fall asleep and then buy your forgiveness’ thing again”
“I want to get her something special” Lucius said “But I don’t know what”
“Propose” Draco offered “Propose to her, she loves you and you love her. What more do you need?”
“And if she says no?” Lucius asks “What then?”
“She’ll say yes” Severus said “She adores you, don’t know why, but she loves you and wants to be with you. Next step marriage, she’ll be apprenticing under me next fall and then you never know…maybe a baby”
“Oh hell” Lucius let out a deep breath “I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to raise another baby”
“I don’t think the world will be ready for another child like this brat” Severus said jerking his head towards Draco who glared at him.
“I’m not…” He started “Well…I am…the second baby will be better. Hermione will be a better mother than mine was, mine was more interested in beauty and fashion, merlin love her”
“Hermione would be a great mother” Lucius said “And like any living and breathing man I want to see her have my children but…”
“Stop being a sissy” Severus snapped.

Hermione opened the door to Number 12 Grimmauld Place and walked in quietly. She had asked to stay there for a few nights, she didn’t ask Remus instead she chose to ask Tonks as the woman didn’t know that she and Remus were currently not talking. She was being sneaky, hell she wanted to laugh evilly just for thinking about this plan. She made her way up the stairs and to the bedroom that was always hers when she was there. After her shower she dressed in comfortable pajama’s though it was only four in the afternoon and then set out to find Remus. She knew that he wouldn’t be happy but she didn’t care, once she had the scent of something interesting she needed all the answers. Tonks had taken Teddy to the park as Hermione told her that she needed to talk to Remus in private. She found him in the kitchen making a small dinner for himself, Tonks would be visiting her mother after the park.
“Hey, Remus” Hermione said from the doorway and saw his shoulders sag, he wasn’t shocked or startled though so this wasn’t a surprise.
“I thought I smelled you” He said by way of greeting “I was hoping that you were merely taking a shower and leaving”
“Lucius and I had a fight” She explained “I needed a place to stay”
“Alienating everyone around you, I see” He said irritably “You do know that Harry has a couch as well”
“I’m sorry” Hermione said sadly as she walked up to him and laid her cheek against his shoulder blades and let her hands slip around his waist “I was insensitive and…I just, I’m trying to help her crossover so she’s not stuck in the house anymore”
“Why would you want that?” He asked “She tortured you”
“But I always thought that she was evil like Voldemort” Hermione told him “I was surprised to learn that she was normal and had loved someone once”
“We were just friends” He whispered and she tightened her grip on him “Then when I was fifteen it happened…she was nineteen an already married but we would visit in secret in the ROR and then…well, it was oddly natural and it felt wonderful”
“I know what sex feels like” Hermione laughed and he turned to look at her with his eyebrow raised.
“I was talking about the relationship, smart-ass” He said, leaning against the counter while she rested her head against his chest “Everything with her was intense and electric it was amazing, she loved me and I loved her…I was stupid enough to believe that she would leave her husband and life following the dark lord to be with me” He lowered his mouth to the top of her head and kissed her hair “When I was eighteen I realized the truth and tried to leave her, really I did”
“But you couldn’t” Hermione finished for him.
“But I couldn’t” He repeated “It was hard to stay away from her and then we were together every moment possible”
“She still loves you” Hermione whispered resting her chin against his chest and looked at him “She hasn’t said it yet but I can tell from the way she was looking at you when you were at the house”
“I should go back and talk to her” He said with a sigh “But she is part of my past, something that Tonks has never known about…something that I’m not sure she should ever know about”
“Did you cheat on Tonks with her?” Hermione asked and he shook his head while putting his hands on her hips and lifting her then dropping her on a chair next to the table “I will admit that Bella has my entire heart whereas Tonks only has a piece of it. Had she decided that she wanted to leave Voldemort and runaway with me I would have done it this time”
“Is that what she wanted all those years ago?” Hermione asked as he walked over to her.
“It’s a long story, Hermione” He sighed “Too long”
“I’ve got all night” She told him “I don’t have school tomorrow or ever again, just my apprenticeship”
“That’s good” He said “Tell me how it’s going so far…”
“Not that easy” She smiled “Tell me…tell me about your relationship with Bellatrix”
“As you already knew it really took off when I was fifteen…” He started.
