Dear Granger,
I am happy that you’ve chosen to wear the locket I have sent to you. It was given to my mother from my father when they were engaged…it is meant to be a way of telling other men that you are with me so if suddenly your male friends stop talking to you, I apologize. So, we have three weeks until we go on Christmas holiday and while I can’t invite you to my house for the obvious reasons…I did want to invite you to the small cottage that I rented in town. We won’t be too far from the school so if you piss me off too much I can come back, my mother is urging that we get to know one another not as enemies or even boyfriend/girlfriend but first as friends if its possible. It’s whatever to me, the Quaffle’s in your field.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy.
Hermione raised her eyebrows as she reread the letter in her hands. One locket and he thinks that she’ll just go to his little cottage and be ‘his friend’? yeah right, he probably thinks that she’ll just hop in his bed, open her legs and tell him to enjoy himself. That wasn’t going to happen, no matter what he gave her or did for her she was not going to have sex with him before they were married and trying to have a baby and then never again until they try for another baby. With those thoughts in her mind she smirked and sat down at her desk and pulled some parchment towards herself.
Dear Mrs. Malfoy,
Draco sent me a letter today to thank me for wearing the locket he gave me last week. He also pointed out that we have three weeks before Christmas holiday and that he won’t be able to invite me to the manor for obvious reasons. He asked me, instead, if I would join him at a cottage he has in Hogsmead so we can become friends. While I think this wouldn’t be a bad idea I am worried about what could be said about my reputation after the war when we’re married if it became common knowledge that we spent so much time alone in his cottage before we were married. People are already going to have so much to say about me being a muggleborn, Gryffindor, the famous Hermione Granger and best friend to Harry Potter and the wife of the death eater Draco Malfoy. Do we really need to add more on to that? I am merely asking for some advice from a pureblooded witch who knows the way this works.
Sincerely,
Hermione Granger.
Narcissa was sitting in her private and hidden sitting room while Lucius and the rest of the death eaters cowered before their master downstairs. Voldemort no longer cared if she was around, in a way it was almost nice of him, leaving her alone after she’d been forced to spend a full two months getting raped repeatedly by the very men that pretended to be their friends. When the owl tapped on the window she gave a lazy wave of her wand and watched as it flew in, dropped the letter on her lap and flew back out. School owls used to beg for treats when they would deliver letters but now that’d changed with the war. Owls too were being killed and only for the simple reason that some people liked to kill. She opened the letter and read through it with a grin on her face, Granger was far sneaker than she gave herself credit for. While someone else may look at the letter and simply see a young witch asking an older witch for advice, Narcissa could read between the lines. Hermione was attempting to cock-block Draco, it was a control thing with her, if she can withhold sex long enough she hopes that he’ll lose interest and free her of the ties that bind her to him. She leaned back in her comfortable cream colored arm chair and drummed her fingers on the arm. If she gave her the advice that all pureblooded mothers would give their daughters then her son would be angry with her but if she gave her false advice and she figured it out then she would lose a very strong, influential ally.
Dear Hermione,
First off, I hope that it is alright with you that I call you by your given name. I wish that you will feel comfortable enough to call me Narcissa as well. Now, Draco is just being nice inviting you to his cottage but I too am concerned with your being there alone with him. I think you’ll need a chaperone with you during the holiday, which is why I would urge you to invite along a friend like Miss Lovegood or Miss Weasley. Whoever you feel comfortable with and who won’t try to get in the way of your budding relationship. Do what you feel is right but please, please give this trip some consideration.
Sincerely,
Narcissa Malfoy.

Hermione reread both letters then nodded her head in acknowledgement that Narcissa had done exactly what Hermione had asked. She had given her advice on what to do and it was even good advice, Hermione had shown the letter to Ginny who confirmed that a chaperone is how it would be done in a proper pureblood marriage. Now, she was tasked with the difficult decision of figuring out who she should bring with her. It should have been an easy choice, Luna was nice and funny but she easily irritated Hermione however, Ginny had been pretty understanding with the whole ‘dating’ thing even telling her at one point that she too enjoyed dating an ‘enemy’ though she refused to say who. Ginny was getting curious though and inviting her to the cottage to spend intimate time with both she and Draco…she would question the lack of affection between the two. Luna probably wouldn’t even notice because she’d be too caught up in Snorkaks or Nargles.
“Luna” Hermione called after the blonde when she saw her in the hallway after classes that day “Hey, how are you?”
“I’m good” She answered dreamily “I miss my father though”
“Are you going home for the upcoming holidays?” Hermione asked her, part of her was worried the girl would say yes another part hoped she would be so she’d be off the hook.
“No” She answered “My father thinks that it would be wise for me to stick close to the school in times like these” She offered her a sweet smile “How about you?”
“No” Hermione answered “My parents are on…well, vacation” Luna nodded her understanding “However, well…my boyfriend invited me to his cottage in Hogsmead for the holiday…I need a chaperone and thought…”
“They say you’re dating Draco Malfoy” Luna pointed out uselessly “But I find it amusing that you two never spend time together, never talk in the hallway and never even look at one another” She shrugged “Maybe I am overanalyzing…is that how a relationship is supposed to work?”
“No” Hermione answered with a blush “But mine and Malfoys is…different”
“I see” Luna said “You said that you need a chaperone for the holiday right?” Hermione nodded “And you’re asking me about my plans, am I right in assuming that you want me to be the chaperone?”
“I do” Hermione answered “Am I asking too much?”
“Not at all” Luna said happily “I’m happy to not be stuck here the whole time”
“I’ll be happy to have you around” Hermione said with a smile “So I don’t know where he’ll want to meet but I’ll owl him and let him know that we’re coming and where we should all meet and then I’ll let him know”
Hermione was feeling better, like a weight had been lifted from her already heavy feeling shoulders as she walked away. Luna won’t ask too many questions though she was surprised by the observations the other girl had already made. It didn’t matter though, she would be leaving the school, she’d be away from the temptation that was Severus Snape and just be able to be away from life for a while. She only wished that she could be away from Malfoy, which would have been nice. She’d just entered the common room when Ginny stood up and crossed her arms piercing her with a cold ‘Molly’ look.
“Are you mad at me?” Hermione asked as she stopped in her tracks.
“Yes” She answered “No…I don’t know. My mother wants me to come home but…I don’t know, she wants me to stay home and she wants you to come home too”
“I’m not leaving school because of stupid death eaters” Hermione answered “I don’t want you to go either”
“I may not have a choice” Ginny answered softly as tears filled her eyes “Hermione, I’m scared. I don’t know what to do, I miss Harry so much and I miss Ron…I just, I wonder if it would be easier to be home and missing them”
“No” Hermione promised her “It won’t be. You’ll be at home with nothing to occupy your mind, no one outside of your mother to talk to, you’ll be constantly wondering if your friends are okay at the school and wondering, thinking and worrying about Harry and Ron” She looked at her evenly “Is that what you want?”
“No” She whispered “But you know how mum can be…”
“Then tell her what I just told you” Hermione said “She will have to see reason, plus you’re safe here with me and all your friends and the professors”
“Can’t you tell her?” Ginny asked “I mean, you are coming home with me, right?”
“Well…no” Hermione answered “Luna and I are going to be heading to Draco’s cottage”
“Then I can come too” Ginny said desperately “Right?”
“I’m sorry” Hermione answered “I wish you could but there’s only two rooms, as it is Luna and I will be sharing a room”
“Oh…why did you ask her and not me?” Ginny asked jealously.
“Well” Hermione said, here it was the very reason she should have avoided the common room “Draco told me that if I felt I needed a chaperone then I was to have one friend and he had to be okay with who it was” Ginny narrowed her eyes “He doesn’t really like Luna but she only annoys him a little…you know how he feels about your family”
“That’s true” She said after a moment “Will you at least write to me?”
“No” Hermione joked “I was thinking about making you guess what I was doing”
“Smart ass” Ginny laughed “Okay, I won’t bring up my leaving until mum does and then I’ll have a legitimate argument…and if that doesn’t work, I’m sending you an owl and you can come talk to her”
“Deal” Hermione smiled and then both girls laughed knowing that fighting with Molly Weasley when she was set on something was completely useless.
Feeling even better than before Hermione went to her room and started her homework. She was doing wonderful in all her classes as usual and she was hoping that in the next term she’d be able to take some classes that would help her get in to University. The only problem was that she didn’t really know anymore what she wanted to do, when she was younger she’d been so sure that she would be fighting for magical creatures everywhere but now, now she was just so tired of fighting. Maybe that was something to think about while on Holiday, she could read about jobs within the magical world. Whatever was left of the magical world that was, she had no clue what the world would be like once she was out of Hogwarts or if it would be safe for her to leave the school. What if she had to hide away in the bowels of the school like the bloody Basilisk? Hiding from death eaters and the children of death eaters because Voldemort actually did win. She was just decorating the bowels of the school in her mind when an owl she didn’t recognize tapped on her window, pulling her out of her musings. She opened the window and took the letter feeding the bird a treat before it flew out in to the cold night sky. There were three letters in one envelope and she had no trouble figuring out who they were from.
Dear Hermione,
I know we haven’t written since September and that was your second letter since we left but we’re busy here. I can’t give you any news in case this owl is intercepted and if Snape decides to interrogate you again. Please tell me that you and Ginny are safe, I’ve been watching the map and have seen you in Snape’s office far more than Ginny. I know that you’ve been angry with Ron and I but please don’t be doing anything stupid to bring attention to yourself. As Christmas comes closer I miss everyone more and more but we remind each other all the time what it is we’re fighting for. I hope that you don’t hate us too much when we get home because we miss and love you so much. I hope you are well and I hope that you have a great Christmas maybe I’ll see everyone soon but maybe not, I never know what’s what anymore.
With love,
Harry
P.S. I can’t write to Ginny but please let her know that I miss and love her too.
Hermione wiped away a tear that had managed to fall from her eye. Harry hated writing letters because he always said that he lost things when it was time to write them down. It was the opposite for Hermione, she always ended up writing too much and having to go back and fixing the letter. Harry thought that she hated them, she wasn’t happy with them that was true but she could never hate them. She read the line about her being interrogated by Snape and snorted, she still couldn’t believe that he believed that but whatever worked. She opened the second letter in her hands, the one she knew to be from Ronald as it was folded sloppily in fours like they were passing notes in Potions class.
Hey Mione,
I miss you a lot. We could really use that big brain of yours. Though I have to say the lack of nagging is kind of nice. Just joking, stop scowling at the letter you know that I don’t mean anything by that. Anyway, this trip isn’t fun at all not that I thought it would be but sometimes we go hungry most times we only find enough food to have a few bites each and we’re miserable all the time. Remus refuses to use his once a month changes as a time to hunt for us, claims that if we eat the meat he bites as a wolf then we could change but I know that he doesn’t actually know that for a fact. Sometimes, I can’t help but feel that he is being selfish, even Harry is pretty sure that while he’s changed he is eating enough for the rest of the month. He’s not hiding it well as he looks guilty and declines his portions of the food most of the time. He makes me angry. Sometimes I wish we’d just taken you instead of him, at least you don’t keep secrets from us…you literally canNOT keep secrets. It’s impossible, their always written all over your face. Anyway, hope you’re okay. Miss you and my family so much, I hope to see you soon though I highly doubt it.
Love From,
Ron
P.S. Why are you spending so much time with Malfoy?
Ronald’s letter manage to piss Hermione off. She hoped that he would tell her that he missed her more and that she was all he could think of and he couldn’t wait to see her but instead he vents about Remus. If the tables were turned she’d be telling him what really lay in her heart. She told him before they left and all he did was stutter something that she didn’t understand and walk away. On top of that the mention of her not being able to lie was complete bullocks, she lied all the time…what she wouldn’t give to write to him and telling him about Malfoy just to piss him off but she wouldn’t, she was still trying to work her way out of that. The third letter in her hands surprised her, Remus was writing to her that was shocking considering she called him a number of names when he took her spot on the Horcrux search.
Dear Hermione,
I am not going to tell you how much I miss you. I don’t know you that well, I do miss your intellect and your rational thinking and every day I figuratively kick myself in the ass for not taking Ronald’s spot. He has his uses but he whines more than I thought he would but that’s neither here nor there. What I wanted to talk to you about is a little bit of information that came across while speaking in a little town a month or so ago to Nymphadora Tonks. She told me that her cousin, Draco Malfoy got himself a well-to-do fiancée and with some finagling and some well-placed bribes she was told who the young lady was. Care to take a guess?
I am not trying to tell you how to live your life and I know that you are still angry with Harry, Ronald and myself but don’t do this. He may be playing the secret hero now but if we lose this war then he will turn in to the monster we all know he is. Think before you act, Hermione.
Sincerely,
Remus Lupin.
Hermione glared at the letter. How dare he?! He spoke to her like she was his friend when he’d lied, pushed and pushed until he’d taken her spot. She hated him. She hated him almost as much as she hated Voldemort. Now though, she strongly disliked Tonks for being a sneaky, conniving little bitch…who knew her secret. She bit her lip, if she told Remus then she could tell anyone and Hermione wasn’t ready for that yet. If the Weasley family found out (other than Ginny) they would hate her and never want to see her again, she needed time. Taking a deep breath and clenching her teeth Hermione did the only thing she could think of and something that made her stomach ache slightly.
Dear Lucius,
I was just informed that that Nymphadora Tonks bribed information out of someone about Draco’s new fiancée. She told Remus Lupin and he informed me, now he’s fine and hasn’t told anyone nor does he have any intention on doing so. However, if Tonks was shifty enough to bribe someone for information that had nothing to do with her then she could tell someone knowing that its me. I don’t want this hanging over my head and weighing down my conscience, is there any way you can make her forget what she knows? A memory charm or something?
Sincerely,
Hermione Granger.

A/N: What do you think? What’s going to happen with Tonks? Next chapter however is going to be them leaving on their holiday my question is, should HE invite someone too? Also, should Remus die in the war in this story?
