The grounds of the grand old school seemed to welcome the group as they alighted from the limousine and Draco Malfoy watched the scene intensely. From his position he saw the group head towards Hagrid’s cottage. He followed and reluctantly turned back. The crow landed on the ledge outside the Headmasters’ office and Lucius Malfoy opened the window.

Draco transfigured and spoke “They’ve just arrived” Lucius nodded, a slight smirk on his face. “Who are they?” Draco noted the rebuke “Of course Father. Fred and George Weasley, Mrs Weasley, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger” Lucius was reflective. “Well son, you best go and attend to your Mother” Draco gave a curt nod and disappeared.

The group waited in the hallway and it was 2:50 and Hermione gave a contented smile. Remus had actually been laughing when he returned from the Forbidden Forest with Harry. Whatever occurred between Remus and Harry hadn’t taken very long but the result would give the group the solidarity she needed.

Professor McGonagall gave the group a small smile as she entered the tower and noted the change in Remus. He seemed a little happier and Harry Potter had given a guilty nod. Seemed a long overdue apology had been given.

“Headmaster?” Lucius looked up. “Miss Granger is here with Remus, Mr Potter, the Weasley twins and Molly” He took a steadying breath. “As soon as Draco and Lady Malfoy arrive…” Just then the floo network activated and Lucius simply said, “Let’s begin”

Hermione sat down and Harry took the seat to her right with Molly, Remus and the twins electing to stand. Draco, much to Hermione’s surprise, sat to her left. The group faced Lucius who sat behind his desk. Professor McGonagall stood to the Headmaster’s left. Narcissa stood next to her son.

Lucius rose and the wizarding oath was taken. Hermione noted the addition of one other clause. There would be no follow-up questioning without consent. Information gleaned from any follow-up would also be covered by the oath. Lucius sat and looked at the girl before him.

Hermione began “ We need to start somewhere so I will tell you what I have been doing the last couple of months” Lucius nodded, somewhat relieved at not having to begin proceedings. “Well as you know Headmaster I approached Professor McGonagall some weeks ago wishing to return to HogWarts with no responsibility”

Lucius nodded and Hermione continued. “At that stage I had gone to retrieve my parents…”Lucius raised an eyebrow and surprisingly Narcissa spoke “Retrieve?” Hermione nodded “Yes, Lady Malfoy. About eighteen months ago I erased my existence from my parents and sent them to Australia. They had always spoke about going there” Draco wasn’t sure he heard correctly.

“Erased?” Lucius was annoyed but Hermione wasn’t “You must understand Headmaster that Harry and I knew that we were at war, and I knew that Riddle would come for my parents” All gathered nodded “The Ministry promised to protect them but after…”she looked at Harry “Dumbledore I knew I couldn’t trust them to even admit there was a problem”

Hermione turned to Draco who was looking stubbornly ahead “We warned them about the cabinet, before school even started that year” Draco couldn’t help but turn his head and looked face Hermione straight in the eyes. “What do you mean?” He almost whispered the question.

Hermione shook her head sadly “We saw you in Knockturn Alley. They told us to stop wasting their time and we were stupid to think anyone would dare take on Dumbledore. Also there was that Umbridge thing the year before.” She sounded dismissive but Draco felt her anger.

Hermione looked at Harry who nodded “So I’m not relying on them to protect anything in the Muggle World. Knowing Riddle’s penchant for reading minds I made sure I only knew the country but nothing else. I didn’t expect to survive and couldn’t, in all conscience cause them that amount of grief”

Hermione shifted “Well after I recovered” Draco shook slightly “ I scribed for them. As with all magic though, things are not always what they seem. I was given a location in Australia and flew over via Muggle transport.

They were in the same area as each other but Mum has remarried, and when I located Da…Father I found him racing bikes.” She looked at Professor McGonagall “He was still wearing his wedding ring and since I didn’t speak to him, I assumed…”

Professor McGonagall nodded encouragingly, and Hermione continued. “So I came to a decision as I watched him that I would cause more harm than good if I tried to put things back to the way they were. I wanted to enjoy my last year here and clean up a few loose ends”

Hermione looked thoughtfully at Remus who smiled and she produced the three vials of blood. “I took these from Greyback when the house was destroyed.” She frowned “But I couldn’t remember how to use them so I asked for all that was mine. It wasn’t a spell , more a request.” She sighed and Draco knew she was having a hard time of it, and he found some pleasure in her discomfort.

He could hear her organising her thoughts. “Would you like to see the pensives I showed your Father?” Her question broke his focus and she smiled sweetly as she heard the distinct ‘bitch’ and Lucius answered for both his Son and wife. “Yes” The three cauldrons appeared. As Draco and Narcissa entered the first one she took the time to clear her thoughts. Draco was incredibly strong and his proximity was slightly off putting.

Once they returned from the third one Remus spoke “How many are there?” Harry answered “seven” and Hermione shrugged “Let’s not get side tracked” and with a wave of her hand the pensives disappeared. Narcissa looked knowingly at Molly “You would never have married him if you knew” Molly nodded “Indeed, but Arthur will keep”

Lucius looked pointedly at Hermione, noting she was looking at the ground. From the view of an outside observer she looked meek, but inside she was trying to quell her anger. Draco felt it and it was breathtaking. Narcissa spoke “You’re very powerful Hermione” Hermione looked up “Lady Malfoy, we are only as strong as our weakest link, but thankyou for the compliment”

“Continue” Lucius watched her intently “What happened next” Hermione’s eyes glimmered “ I handed in my wand.” She chuckled and those gathered looked questionably at her “Wasn’t very lady like but after I told them were to…well you get the idea” she run her right hand through her hair . “So now I am not registered and therefore technically….” Lucius finished for her “not able to attend HogWarts”

He smiled “I don’t think that would limit you too much” Hermione chuckled “No, but then again, none of us needed a wand before HogWarts” She heard a gasp and looked at the Professor who conceded“You’re right” Harry didn’t seem convinced and Hermione simply said “What about the zoo Harry?”

He looked thoughtful and while he contemplated the theory Hermione explained her reasoning . “Wands are a great way to focus our power, and with the right combination of materials, can give quite a powerful boost, but it is a mindset. From what I can tell witches and wizards convince themselves they need them. So you train with them all the time but they make you weak and dependant on them”

Harry finally spoke “I did heaps before HogWarts” Hermione felt a broad grin form and laughed quietly. “Exactly Harry. Making the glass dissolve, you didn’t need an incantation. All you did was want it bad enough and Magic found a way. Just like it did with Phillip. I did not want to forget and I believe that just a split second before my memory was wiped, I placed it in the Ministry. Whether it’s in the room or contained within a piece of furniture, or my first wand” Harry frowned “I thought it was different but figured you’d have to notice..”

Hermione put her hand on her friend’s. “I remember going to Ollivanders and he swore on his honour that it was the same one. Anyway I’m off track again. So when I was in Malfoy Manor whatever Bellatrix and Draco did, may not have loosened my tongue. Still a bit vague on that, but it freed up my mind. At the time though I had more pressing problems and tried to quell it.”

She had no wish to discuss Malfoy Manor so she continued. “After that last pensive you’ve seen, I never went back to the actual building as a guest. Although I can remember Ginny asking about Phillip at the train station and I’ve gone Phillip who?”

The girl was angry with herself “How could I have forgotten…I’m sorry for appearing vague but things are only slowly coming back.” She made a derisive sound. “Take this morning for instance. When I awoke I suddenly remembered my grandparents on mother’s side”

Narcissa gasped and Lucius looked at his lovely wife, then his son. He could tell Draco was going to be trouble if he wasn’t curtailed. “Father has been getting the Ministry to cherry pick memories for me, however in the last four years I have never gone straight home and I have my staff to thank for keeping Mia going”

Draco asked the one question which burned on his father’s mind “So why was you father found in England?” Hermione chuckled warmly “because that’s the way I wanted it” Hermione went to explain how she had apparated back to her Father’s location and sweet talked him into taking her for a ride.

“Seems father’s wedding ring was for show, so that he could use it as an excuse to fight off any unwanted groupies” Draco said “How could you..?” and stopped himself as Hermione clarified further “He didn’t know I was his daughter and looking like this…”

Her clothing changed into the leather shorts, crop top, boots and mirror glasses she wore that day “he didn’t have a clue” Fred and George both groaned “Granger..” she looked so delectable standing there without her dampeners. “You’re so cruel”

She smirked, gave the twins a wink and toned her appearance down. “The dampeners were for the muggles so they didn’t recognise me, although as soon as they enter the platform Mia is forgotten. It’s a general spell so all forget, which includes me”

Harry looked at his friend “That’s awesome but how do you remember again” Draco looked at him and sneered “How can you be so stupid… it reverses when you walk back through” Hermione glared at him and it was Draco’s turn to smile sweetly.

Hermione ignored him and took the initiative “As much as it pains me, Draco’s right. And because we didn’t return on the HogWarts Express the last year we were here, then Hermione Granger, bookworm, Gryfinndor Princess remained.” Harry nodded and it was Narcissa who prompted Hermione next “What happened to your father.” Hermione looked triumphant and Draco turned rather obviously to watch her.

She felt good about this and it showed “I got a nice long ride to a secluded place and injected him with Tubocurare paralysing him. I allowed him to remember our family. Told him that this was for Phillip. I said nothing else as I took apart his bike and beat him to death with it. I didn’t use magic. Somehow I feel it would have been disrespectful, and he only suffered a short while in comparison” her tone hardened and Lucius watched the reaction of those gathered.

He looked at Professor McGonagall “You don’t seemed surprised..” She nodded and simply stated “I knew the man was dead when we first viewed those pensives. Miss Granger usually takes care of her own business.” Hermione then frowned “ It really isn’t more complicated than that. Well Headmaster, I expect you have some questions”

Lucius smiled and Hermione wasn’t sure what to think. “Tell me, this Mia. Is that the real you?” Hermione nodded “Another thing Miss Granger do you use magic for this so called career” Harry went to stand up but Hermione squeezed his hand. “Test me. Father had me playing the piano at around two years old” Her eyes hardened as she mimicked her father “At least do something normal” she smirked as the piano appeared.

“No magic” Hermione nodded as Lucius cast the spell and she sat. She chose Beethoven’s Last Symphony and at the end of it she apologised for missing a couple of notes. Lucius shook his head “You were working from memory. I’m duly impressed” Draco sniggered and Hermione sat down next to him.

“During my early childhood I was tutored at home. When Phillip was born father sent me away to…” she tried to find the words for them. “…workshops, bandcamps and I was accepted into Vienna. So for six years I was immersed into the fundamentals of music. I made a few connections. At 6 years of age I penned my first hit song. Those I was dealing with, knew they industry would not accept a six year old songwriter, so they took a cut and claimed credit. By the time I got to divorce my father, I had accumulated millions. At 14, I released an album that made me a personal profit of 3.2 million. A year later I had a concert tour”

She felt Harry’s confusion “Remember when I said I went to Europe to do stuff” He smiled “Incredible” Draco felt like hitting Pothead. There was something very wrong with him. Draco sneered, “I thought you were best friends” Hermione quickly cut him off. “I never spent an entire summer with Harry or the Weasleys.”

She shook her head “I don’t see the relevance. You can save that hatred for day-to-day insults. I’m laying it on the line here, and I will expect you to keep the agreement, but if you don’t…well I don’t need to tell you” Hermione focussed on Draco and finished the quote internally ‘then again, probably no great loss’ He stood up “Sit down Draco” Lucius had warned him and the younger Malfoy sat seething. ‘You’ll pay Granger’

Lucius posed another question “What was your plan at Malfoy Manor and how’d you get through” Hermione cringed. He was on dangerous ground. ‘Time to take control’ Hermione held Lucius’ gaze and waved her hand. A shimmer of light went over the room. “The same way I got into Azkaban” and with that she became a mini whirlpool.

She smiled as she reformed “Anything else.” Remus was impressed and he knew the older ones gathered were too. This was a rare gift.

Lucius smirked “What was the plan?” Hermione looked at Harry “Well Harry was in charge…” Draco laughed “Surprised you’re still alive Granger..” He stopped dead as his mother spoke “Draco… please” She asked and instantly Draco’s demeanour softened “Sorry Mother” Harry tried to be as succinct as he could “Well the plan was fairly simple. If one was caught the other two would either rescue them, or get caught themselves.”

Harry shook, this was the first time anyone had really asked, and he shuddered as he gave the answer. “Hermione reasoned that as a filthy mudblood she would be taken away to be tortured, Riddle would play around with me and the safest would be Ronald, especially with Percy’s betrayal.”

Hermione shuddered. How much would Harry reveal? “Generally we had several ways to activate a complete destruction spell. Hermione’s death would be a key.” Hermione smiled and took over

“So Draco, you are correct, it’s lucky for all of us, that I’m alive. We tested it” She made sure she had Lucius’ attention “on several buildings. It completely suffocated anything within a fifty mile radius as well as disintegrating any buildings in that area.” A parchment appeared on Lucius’ desk and he shook his head.

“It’s ancient” he looked at this girl “you have been underestimated for a while” Hermione bit her bottom lip and Lucius took a deep breath “Well no more Hermione. This would have worked” he had no hesitation “I’ll give you anything you need” Draco stood up. “I’ve got a few questions” Hermione cringed “Dumbledore’s Army. Potter was that your idea?” Harry shook his head

“I didn’t think so” Draco’s eyes pierced Hermione’s “So why did we find you the second time?” Hermione answer was immediate. “I was concentrating on my patronus” Draco raised an eyebrow and she continued, “It’s just that I was supposed to have this great life right? Money, travel, loving parents and yet my patronus was…pathetic. The only happy memory I had came from HogWarts. Then the hole appeared in the wall, and we were caught. So the short answer is I was distracted” She watched Draco and he wasn’t finished.

“Are you part of the Order?” and Hermione’s answer surprised everyone, except Professor McGonagall “No” Draco looked ropeable but it was Harry who first spoke “But I’ve seen the mark” Professor McGonagall put her hand up “I’ll take this Hermione” and the girl gratefully nodded “Hermione refused the mark, but Moody said it would put you at ease if you thought she was part of it”

Hermione took Harry’s hands in hers “I’m nobody’s minion Harry, but if it alleviated even some of your paranoia, then it was worth the deception. You see you had the option of maybe choosing…Don’t interrupt!” Harry shut his mouth “If you wanted to deal with Riddle he would have enjoyed it. You could have begged the need for power, presented as an heir or something. Got to him that way. You, on paper, did not have to take a stand. If you backed down, or made a deal, but me Harry…” Hermione let his hands go and placed her own stubbornly by her sides.

“I was always going to be a filthy mudblood, I could die running away or die fighting. That’s why I was glad to have found that…” Professor McGonagall now had the parchment and Hermione sighed, “Well Professor if I was going to die, then I would be taking a few with me. It’s the same as the feralis curse, which meant any unwanted flesh on flesh contact would result in death all round.”

Draco then said something that surprised them all “I don’t know whether you’re incredibly brave or stupid Granger, but you could have killed me when I…” Hermione touched his sleeve very quickly. “Draco I wanted to get out of there. That spell of destruction can not be stopped once it’s started as it neutralises all magic around it, but can only be activated by someone willingly giving of his, or her, life”

He frowned “then how did you test it” She smirked “No one misses a deatheater here and there” He looked thoughtful “Imper..” Hermione smiled “Exactly” Draco looked at his father who noted the parchment disappearing into the nether. Then Narcissa spoke “Nobody’s minion. Is that what you said young Hermione?” Hermione nodded “Yes, Lady Malfoy”

Both Malfoy men melted when they saw the first genuine smile in years appear on Narcissa’s face “You know Sirius said the same thing” Hermione felt out of sorts with the unexpected change of subject. Molly chuckled “Well the Order never selects a leader whose any different”

Narcissa tittered “Well I’m afraid Hermione you may have no responsibilities at HogWarts, but Magic…” and Lady Malfoy’s eyes twinkled “has you earmarked for the order” Hermione resisted the urge to jump out of her seat and merely responded with “One battle at a time” and Remus started chuckling too.

Hermione tried to keep her demeanour as Remus elaborated, “He said that too” Hermione shook her head “You forget one thing” and Molly answered, “What’s that young Granger?” Hermione beamed “My blood, no mudblood will ever hold the mantle, and Moody told me that. Seemed a bit upset. Well as upset as he got when speaking of such things” The Professor shared a look with the young witch. They would talk later.

Draco shook his head “So that was your plan…to die!” He was so angry and Hermione watched him. She’d better answer “No if that was the plan we could have just knocked on the door…Helloooo..” she drew the word out “Mudblood here, wanting death. Anyone? Anyone?” She nodded to Harry and he took over the story.

“Hermione had suggested that as a mudblood she would underestimated so she decided to place her power with Ronald” Molly swayed and both Fred and George steadied her. “So that when she had enough she’d pass out and call to him” Draco eyed her and realised what had gone wrong “The Weasel wouldn’t give it up would he Granger?” He sneered. Hermione looked calm but he felt her pain.

To his surprised Molly confirmed it. “He didn’t believe that Hermione should have that much power and I’m guessing he volunteered to take your place…” Hermione’s heart broke as she seen the look on Molly’s face, “He’s a coward”

Hermione nodded “He figured my power would protect him no matter what” Harry seethed at the thought of it, and for the first time Draco had picked up something half intelligent from scarface. He had to agree with Potter, Hermione was worth more than the Weasel. Hermione looked at Molly “Pay it no mind Molly. Fran did warn me.” Molly nodded fire in her eyes. There was no way Ronald was going to get away with that.

“One more thing Granger” Draco smiled as he felt Hermione cringed inwardly. He had watched her intently, her face gave nothing away. “And what would that be Draco?” She said his name so sweetly that he almost forgot himself… almost “How is it with the obvious hatred between you and your father, that the muggles haven’t pegged you?” Hermione smiled

“Well I first flew over to Australia the muggle way, but when I saw that I really had no place in my parents’ lives. I decided to enjoy my magic and in my haste I apparated, so they…” Harry smiled “They had no record of you leaving” Draco glared at him “I asked her not you Pot..” Lucius shook his head at his Son’s obvious lack of control.

Hermione broke in “and I am answering. We’re all just putting the pieces together Draco. Harry’s hearing this for the first time as well. My friends are allowed to have input here and Harry is more than a friend” Draco felt sick “You and Potter?” she giggled “are like brother and sister. Careful you almost sounded…”she cleared her throat

“Never mind, but as Harry pointed out, as far as the Muggles are concerned, I was in Australia all that time. You see I looked at his body and where we were. Absolutely beautiful place and it didn’t feel right to leave such an abomination there. Father had always figured himself better than everyone and it seemed appropriate to dump him in the filthiest alley in London.” Hermione sounded breathless

“Magic is so beautiful like that. I merely thought of what I wanted, and he disappeared. I dissolved his bike and stayed overnight at my Australian property. As I boarded my private plane at the airport there were paparazzi everywhere. “So Mia, do you have any comment about your father’s murder?”

She chuckled “They found him pretty fast. I must admit I was really surprised at how quick they did. My security were trying to get me on the plane, but I couldn’t resist, so I simply said ‘Granger’s dead? Well Long live Granger’ .” She looked a little coy “It’s a common quote but they made it the headline”

Hermione looked at her hands “My mother has always been evasive and most think that I have absolutely nothing to do with them. The divorce was quite messy. I just gave him enough rope. But you can read all about that through Muggle magazines and books. The Internet’s okay but it tends to have a lot of misinformation because I’m notoriously reclusive and private. I had no reason to kill him”

She smiled “Of course you all know better” Draco smiled at her cunning “You were half a world away” She nodded. He seemed…satisfied? ‘For now Granger’ Hermione felt his intensity and stood. ‘Enough of these games’ Draco smiled. He was only just beginning.

“If that’s all?” Hermione asked. Lucius nodded and rose from the table. He extended his hand. Hermione didn’t hide her surprise as she placed her hand in his. “There is one more thing” Lucius asked and Hermione viewed him attentively.

“Why didn’t you take the oath?” Hermione replied honestly “I knew you’d respect another pureblood more, so combine that with the fact I had no idea what I was doing. It seemed prudent. I wanted no silly, thoughtless mistakes”

Hermione smiled slightly “Thankyou for your time” She nodded to Lady Malfoy and simply said to Draco “See you around” With that she departed the tower, followed by Fred and George, Harry trailing close behind. Draco left not long after..

Molly shook her head “You know Minerva. Hermione’s quite a scary girl sometimes. Her main problem with what the Ministry did is that, if we had known about her father, we could have used him as live bait. Saved a lot of heartache.” Professor McGonagall nodded understandingly. “It would have been one of the few good things that man has ever done”

The Malfoy’s exchanged looks and Lucius rose. Molly shook his hand “Until next time, Lucius…Narcissa” Narcissa smiled “I do not envy Arthur ” The Redhead’s eyes danced as she exited the tower. She had plans for Arthur and her wayward offspring.

She met the group at the entrance of the school and was warmly embraced by Hermione “Thankyou Molly” The redhead smiled “My pleasure” The limousine pulled up and the friends grinned as James opened the door, making a special effort with Molly. Once inside the conversation took off in earnest.

As Draco watched the friends walking to the gate he smirked. He had come to a decision. By the end of this year he would possess Granger. The cocky know it all had become a force to be reckoned with, and he looked forward to the challenge.

He smiled to himself. He would have her following him around like a little lost puppy. He made his way to the Quidditch Practice field and took flight on his broom. He felt invigorated. She wouldn’t stand a chance.
