“I’m at a loss” Lucius snarled to Narcissa “Doesn’t he understand what’s at stake here?!”
“I know, Lucius” She said “But maybe he needs…”
“He needs a good lashing is what he needs!” Lucius said, running his hand through his white blonde hair “I hit him…”
“You what?!” Narcissa looked horrified “Why would you do that?!”
“What would you have me do, woman?” Lucius asked “He hit a woman, I’ve always taught him that no matter how angry you get you never take out your anger on a woman. I thought that if I showed him how it felt to not be heard but to just be hit then maybe he’d learn something…he looked at me like I beat him every day of his bloody life!”
“Oh my…” Narcissa put her hand over her mouth trying to sort everything out “Maybe...”
“She protected him” Lucius said with a semi-hopeful expression “That’s got to account for something”
“Yes” She agreed “Or maybe now she thinks you’re a monster”
“Probably” He deflated “Well…he’ll hate himself when he’s in prison”
“Let’s see what happens between them and then if she needs a little extra push I’ll go and talk with her, okay?” Narcissa offered and her husband nodded wearily.

Hermione stood in front of her mirror and charmed away her bruise. She looked up as the owl she’d sent out to Malfoy Sr. came back with her reply, she had requested that he tell Snape of their agreement and how it came to be. However, she also explained that in order to have Draco punish her she would have to have a tiny bit of trust in him and she didn’t so until that was formed she wanted Snape to remain punishing her when she needed it. She sent a copy of her letter to Draco so he wasn’t in the dark about what was happening. When the bruise had faded and her face was back to a normal size and color she walked over took the note from the owl, gave it a treat and sent it on its way.
Dear Miss. Granger,
I will tell Severus about the letter I received and the agreement that we’ve come in to. I won’t tell him exactly that I am blackmailing you I am merely going to tell him that you agreed to this out of fear that I would blackmail you. On the topic of the relationship between you and my son all I can say is that trust and respect is a two-way street and you say that it’s impossible to trust him but maybe he feels the same way. I will mediate what I can between the two of you however, I must say that I am no longer going to keep coming to your every call. I would apologize for being so cold but I really don’t care anymore, you know your options either make this work or own up to your perversions.
Sincerely,
Lucius Malfoy
Hermione shrugged her shoulders slightly and walked over to her desk. He’d been nicer than she had expected, she duplicated the letter and sent the duplicate to Draco before she placed it with all her other paperwork and sat down. She’d been over the contract so much she knew what it said by heart, she’d played over each scenario in her head many times. The only acceptable option really was to accept the blackmail that Lucius strapped her with and make herself a future Mrs. Malfoy. There was also the thought that if by some chance Voldemort did win she’d be pretty safe as Malfoy’s…whatever and no one else should touch her. If she was as smart as everyone assumed she was, she’d make nice with Draco before the end of the war just in case things didn’t work out well for the side of the light.
“Hermione” Ginny said as she knocked on the door leading in to her room “How are you doing?”
“I’m good” She answered “And just so you know, it wasn’t Draco…he didn’t hit me”
“Don’t lie” Ginny snapped and Hermione offered her a sad smile.
“That’s why I did it, you know?” Hermione told her, standing from her seat she walked over to where the red-haired woman was standing “We’ve been fighting a lot and I told him that if he didn’t leave me alone for once about my hair that I would charm a bruise to my face because I knew what everyone in Gryffindor would assume”
“Hermione” Ginny said and Hermione could see that she was having a hard time believing the story because it wasn’t a common behavior for her “That’s not like you”
“After I did it that’s what I said to myself” Hermione told her looking sad “I don’t know what’s wrong with me but…I never meant for his father to come in and be pissed off, in actuality I was probably more surprised than anyone else” She forced a laugh out “I figured he’d throw him a party for striking a mudblood”
“Don’t talk about yourself like that” Ginny snapped “And don’t do that again…I’ll tell everyone that he didn’t hit you but be careful and think before you want to do that again…another bruise and I’m cutting his balls off”
“If he ever bruises me” Hermione said “I’ll beat you to it”
Hermione and Ginny visited for most of the afternoon before Hermione learned that the redhead had yet to do the homework that’d been assigned and shooed her out. Black clouds were starting to darken the sky over the lake and she could hear thunder in the distance. She made a face, it was always storming here but at least she liked the rain, with a smile she left the room and made her way to the Astronomy tower to watch the storm rolling in. The air was warm and thick with humidity, Hermione felt her hair becoming wilder and wilder by the second but that calm before the storm had always been a favorite time for her. She heard the door shut behind her and turned to see Malfoy walking slowly and distractedly around the corner, he stopped when he saw her standing there.
“I’m not leaving” Hermione snapped at him “Either join or go away”
“Are you kidding?” He drawled as he swaggered over towards where she was standing “I came here to talk to you without prying eyes”
“Oh really?” Hermione gave an over exaggerated hopeful look at him “You want to speak with me?!” She fanned herself dramatically “Why…what shall I say to my future husband…is it not proper etiquette for me to have chaperone?!” She adopted a fancy accent “Of all the scandalous things!”
“Nice” He said, clearly not impressed at all with her sarcasm though she did see a bit of humor in his expression and amusement in his eyes, it was only his voice that held his displeasure “I thank you” She looked shocked “For stopping my father from taking out his anger on me”
“You’re welcome…” She started.
“However” He said over her voice “I wouldn’t have needed it if you hadn’t written to him and had you gotten rid of that damn bruise!”
“Had you not given me the damn bruise you wouldn’t have needed my help” Hermione snapped at him angry that he managed to turn it around on her though he was at fault there.
“I didn’t mean to bruise you” Draco answered “I just wanted to stun you!”
“Well…you did” She muttered and both of them stared out towards the angry looking sky that was darkening by the moment. Hermione looked over when she heard Draco snort to himself and found a small smirk on his lips.
“Why can’t we have a conversation without fighting?” He asked and she nodded to herself “At this point we’ll be arguing through our vows at our wedding” He snorted again and a smile even graced Hermione’s face.
“Can you imagine what our children will be like?” She asked him.
“Child” He corrected.
“Children!” She argued.
“I’m not a bloody Weasley!” He reminded her “I am not going to have an entire bloody Quidditch team worth of children!”
“Not that many” Hermione said “But more than one. At least two but no more than three”
“Three?!” He looked scandalized “Why?”
“Well…” Hermione thought for a moment “You were an only child and look at how much of a spoiled brat you are!”
“You’re an only child” Draco pointed out “I bet you were that little brat that never let anyone touch your toys” He roared with laughter when her face turned a little red.
“Well” Hermione said trying to hold her chin a bit higher “I am not going to deny that I was a little…”
“Greedy?” He asked with a smirk.
“I didn’t share as well as I would have had I had a little sibling” Hermione told him “Which is why it’s important that we have at least two kids!” There was a choking sound and they both turned to see that Neville, Luna and Ginny were standing there wide-eyed looking at them.
“Kids?” Ginny repeated.
“Talk to you later” Draco muttered as he turned to walk away.
“No” Ginny said “Oh my god…that’s why…you’re pregnant!” She looked at Hermione with a slow smile spreading across her face while Luna shook her head at Neville “You had a one night stand with Ferret-Boy here and got pregnant, its customary for a pureblooded man to marry the woman who gets pregnant with the first heir” She looked at Hermione with sad eyes “Don’t do it Hermione…don’t…”
“Ginny!” Hermione stopped her chatter “I am not pregnant. We were talking about fighting and then had a fight about whether we would end up having one or more children” She looked at the other girl “That’s it”
“Oh” She looked a little disappointed “Okay”
“What are you guys doing out here anyway?” Hermione asked to change the subject “It’s about to storm”
“We’re leaving an offering to the fairies” Ginny said “If we leave enough and they are happy with their offering they will grant wishes for the person they think needs it most”
“Okay” Hermione said slowly “Sounds fun”
“Luna told me about it” Ginny said.
“Doesn’t surprise me” Hermione said while Draco snorted with amusement.
“You should leave an offering, Hermione” Luna said dreamily from her spot near the wall that Hermione and Draco had been standing near “I think they’d like you”
“Just what I’d need” Hermione muttered “No thank you”

Harry was laying on his back in the tent watching Ginny’s, Luna’s and Neville’s dots move through the castle. He hoped they were being safe and that Snape wasn’t doing anything too horrible to them, he’d noticed that Hermione was in detention a lot this year. He’d written to her asking why sometimes it looked like his dot was right on top of her and she had told him that he was pressing her for information on his whereabouts. He knew that Remus’s advice to keep that secret from even her was hard for him and Ron to do but now it was proving to be the best. They had gotten rid of the locket and knew about the cup, the diary had been gotten rid of when he was twelve and the Dumbledore had taken care of the ring. They just had to get the cup, destroy it, find the other thing which they had no clue about and kill the snake then they were ready to take on Voldemort. Harry didn’t want to be overly enthusiastic but he was pretty sure that if they could figure out where the cup was the other thing then the war could be over by Christmas.
“What’s that?” Ron asked, pointing at the two dots labeled ‘Draco Malfoy’ and ‘Hermione Granger’ that were side by side at the top of the Astronomy Tower.
“It’s Hermione and Malfoy” Harry said “Why is she there with him of all people?!”
“I don’t know” Remus said, trying to calm the two young males down before they did something stupid, like apperate to the front gates of Hogwarts “But look” He pointed “Ginny, Neville and Luna are out there now, she’s okay”
They watched as Malfoy’s dot moved to the door and then stopped moving again. Hermione appeared to be standing in front and most likely conversing with Ginny for a few minutes before she joined Malfoy at the door. Harry and Ron were muttering to themselves and shaking their heads and for once Remus didn’t have any words of wisdom for the two boys. There was nothing to explain the fact that the Slytherin and Gryffindor are calmly walking down the staircase or walking down the hallway before stopping at the top of the staircase for nearly five minutes before going off their separate ways.
“Maybe she doesn’t know its Malfoy?” Remus offered.
“Maybe” Harry said.
“But that’s not good either” Ron said.
“She has no clue what’s really happening out here” Remus said “Right?” They both nodded “Then we just hope that Malfoy doesn’t try to harm her for not knowing anything”
“Hermione’s smart enough not to let him get that close” Ron said.
“But what if the person he’s pretending to be is that close?” Harry asked.
“Let’s get a move on this Horcrux hunt” Ron said “The sooner we’re done the sooner this war is over and the sooner I can tell Hermione just how I feel about her”
“Still love her?” Remus asked with a smile “I don’t know why you didn’t tell her before you left”
“If I died…” He said.
“If you die and she never knows that’s even worse because then she would always wonder” Remus offered. Ron shrugged his shoulders and grabbed some food from the kitchen and effectively went on to ignore the others in the tent. While Remus may think that Ron was being rude Harry knew that it was his way of dealing with the sadness of leaving his family and Hermione behind knowing that if something went wrong he may never see them again.

“Wow!” Severus laughed as he finishing his drink “So you’re blackmailing Hermione Granger?” He laughed again “That is brilliant”
“Well…” Lucius hadn’t said those exact words but Severus Snape was anything but stupid “I need to ensure that my family line doesn’t end because of my bad decisions”
“I think its brilliant” Severus spoke “And you know that when the war is over, if I’m not dead by the end of it I’ll be safe no matter the outcome”
“You’ve played both sides very well” Lucius said “And I’ve been well aware of your duplicity for a while now. I thought it for sure when He came back, then I thought that it couldn’t possibly be when you killed Dumbledore but I know you very well by now, my friend”
“You do” Severus nodded his head in agreement.
“Tell me something” Lucius said “Hermione Granger…why does she feel the need to be punished?”
“I really shouldn’t be the one to talk about it” Severus said but his friend raised his brows “Just keep it to yourself, not even Narcissa or Draco should know because I shouldn’t be talking about it”
“Understandable” Lucius said.
“Hermione” Severus sighed as he poured himself some more brandy “Is a very, very sexual woman. She is also a very messed up young woman and I hate to say that” He sat down “Her friends left her behind. She really doesn’t know where they are or what they are doing, she seems to think that she wasn’t good enough to go with them. That she failed them somehow and they are punishing her and yet there isn’t any physical punishment that she was receiving”
“So that’s why she came to you?” Lucius asked “To get a proper punishment?”
“Yes” He answered “But also because…well, to be blunt she told me that the only time she seems to be able to get off is when she imagines being taken forcefully by a death eater”
“That’s fucked up” Lucius said “She’s a proper head case, isn’t she?”
“I think that’s your sons doing, actually” Severus answered and Lucius’s grey eyes darkened with anger.
“My son never…” He started.
“He never touched her, that’s true” Severus said soothingly “But his constant emotional abuse, degrading her, telling her that she’s nothing more than a mudblood whore…it had to have some negative effect on her” Lucius looked ready to fight still “You can’t be that blind Lucius. Come on, all that emotional abuse, the degradation and verbal abuse…the only way she can get off is if I hurt her, if I call her horrible names and set up scenario’s in her mind about being gang-banged by a group of death eaters” He rubbed his palms over his knees in a rare show of compassion towards someone “That’s neither good nor is it normal…in fact, its downright dangerous. If she feels that I am not meeting the requirements anymore she could go to someone else, if it’s Draco or you that’s one thing but what if she got it in that brilliant mind that she could handle a real death eater gang-bang” The blonde shuddered “The last one killed that muggle and those animals damn-near killed Bellatrix and she’d been willing”
“I will make sure to write it up in the newest rendition of our contract saying that it’s okay for her to visit you for these punishments” Lucius said “But I am going to urge her to seek out some form of counseling and talking with myself or Draco”
“The thing is” Severus said “She doesn’t trust you or Draco. I know that she is an extremely brilliant young woman but I fear that she may seem to think that the idea of being a death eaters whore is…I don’t know…great or fun or something”
“She needs a woman’s point of view” Both men jumped when Narcissa spoke from her spot against the wall, they hadn’t seen her enter several minutes before “I was used as the whore for a while after Lucius was put in Azkaban after the Ministry fiasco and I know all the stories about Bellatrix”
“She won’t trust you either” Severus said.
“Then I’ll pose as a therapist” Narcissa said “A therapist by correspondence of course. I will make a back story, but I need you to put the therapy in the contract and you need to tell her about me, I will have a fake name of course, then we’ll talk”
“Do you think it’ll work?” Severus asked doubtfully.
“Can’t hurt” Narcissa said “Better than what we’re doing now” She smiled “I don’t think she’ll ever be healed but I think that maybe once she talks about it then healing can begin….plus, on the upside I can make the situation with Draco seem like a dream come true” She flashed the men a beautiful and devious smile.

A/N: I hope you liked this. I don’t want Draco to be a bad guy and Lucius isn’t and never was abusive but he was super pissed. I put it in there to act as an old, rickety, broken step to get then closer to one another and the reason I say old, broken and rickety is because with their history and attitudes and all that anything can break what little progress they’ve made.
Please Review!!!!
Anon: I am sorry that you no longer want to read this story and I know it was because of the hit. Sorry. I hope it doesn’t make you hate all my stories, I had good reason for putting it in there though. You will be missed.
