Draco was sitting in a chair in the newly cleaned library and while there was a book on magical divorce laws open in front of him, he wasn’t paying any attention to it. Hermione had come in about ten minutes ago and was looking at a book about the rights of half-breed children. His eyes had been locked on her the whole time, he loved the way her golden-brown curls fell over her shoulder, the little line that formed between her brows as she studied the book, he loved watching her bite her full bottom lip and he found himself wanting to help her bite that lip. He let out a sigh and looked away from her and back at the book, sighed again and then slammed it shut.

“Damn it” He snapped, the book had slammed shut on his finger sending a sharp pain through his hand.

“You okay?” Hermione asked, looking away from her book to him “What happened?”

“Just bit my…lip, hard” Draco said, he looked away wanting to kick himself for that phrase, however there was nothing to make him think that she suspected anything in that comment.

“Sorry” Hermione said “Need some ice?” He shook his head at her and frowned “I’m going to the joke shop, do you want to come with me?”

“Negative” Draco answered with a small laugh “Maybe in a few hours when it’s dark”

“No” Hermione said, grabbing his hand and pulled him out of the seat “I’ve been trying to get back on my feet and you haven’t done anything other than talk to Harry, so get off your lazy ass and come with me”

“For your information” Draco said “I have been waking up early, helping Potter by making sure that Pansy and Lavender don’t overcharge or lie to him, I have paid for a few things that poorer people haven’t been able to and I am doing research for you, I am doing quite well, thank you”

“I thank you for that all” Hermione said “I am greatly interested in who the charity was for and I know that you are very…nervous about going in to the public but I’ll protect you”

“Granger” Draco sighed “I just…” He looked at her and she pouted at him, quivered her bottom lip and made whining puppy dog sounds “Fine…fine, you are so lucky that I am really starting to adore you”

“I think it’s my winning personality” Hermione said, flashing him a charming smile “Let’s go”

“I think it’s your nice arse” Draco said, as he stood from his chair and smirked at her when she turned but she ended up turning back around and shook her butt at him before leading the way downstairs “Why can’t we take the Floo network?”

“Because viewing the public is half the fun” Hermione answered with a grin. They walked out of the house and beyond the gate and then apparated to Diagon Alley the minute they appeared in the designated spot people started giving Draco dirty looks.

“Let’s go” He muttered to her and turned to head to the store. It was a relatively uneventful walk until they were a few feet away from the store front when a witch stopped in front of them. She was a younger witch, probably twenty-three or twenty-four, her eyes narrowed at Draco and she sneered at him.

“You should have been locked up in prison for life” She hissed at him “For all the murders, you should be dead!” She spat at him but Hermione pointed her wand and redirected the spit back in to the girls face, the look of surprise on her face made them both smirk in amusement “What the hell…”

“Spitting on someone is disgusting” Hermione told her “Which means that you’re disgusting and I really don’t think something as disgusting as you should be out in public…do you?”

“What the fuck?!” She screamed “Who the fuck do you think you are?!”

“Who do I think I am?” Hermione repeated “I don’t think, I know that I am Hermione fucking Granger and if you fuck with me or him I will fucking end you, got it?!”

“But I…” She started.

“GO!” Hermione yelled in her face, she waved her wand threateningly “You do not want to press your luck with me, I assure you of that”

The girl looked at Hermione and then over to Draco for a second longer before she turned and high-tailed it away from the two. People were looking at the unlikely pair with horror, not only who they were but also the fact that they were together. Hermione looked at him for a moment and then took his hand and led him to the joke shop, there were kids milling about everywhere and Angelina was screaming at a pair that apparently had been caught stealing. George was standing on the stairs watching her with a grin on his face, his eyes slid over to the door where Draco and Hermione were standing hand in hand and started to come down the stairs.

“Hermione” George greeted, leaning over and kissing her cheek “How are you?”

“Doing better than the last time I was near a Weasley” Hermione answered, thinking about when Ronald had told her that she was a fuck up, a dud and that no man would ever want her. How she’d wanted to hurt him for those words but couldn’t bring herself to, she was in such a bad spot at that moment that she’d been unable to even think about a charm or curse.

“Still sexy as hell” George commented with a grin and they both heard a small growl from the blonde standing near them “Hello, Draco”

“Weasley” He smirked then he put his hand on Hermione’s hip and pulled her against his side in a possessive manner that made her have to think about how she was going to approach the subject with him later.

“What is it that you need from me?” George asked, leading them to his office “Information for Potter, perhaps?” He smirked over his shoulder “Information about Ron, maybe?”

“What information do you have about Ron?” Hermione asked, speaking before Draco could open his mouth to say something else.

“Not much” George said “I know that he just got a new job, working for Chief Warlock Height” He smirked “Mum hasn’t said what he’s doing, in fact I don’t think she knows, but I hear that he’s traveling around a lot” He smiled at Hermione “Which may just be what you’re looking for, Hermione, isn’t it?”

“No” She said “I was going to ask about…”

“About the half-breed orphanage?” George asked, with a small chuckle “I have no proof, of course. However, I think that Ron may be working at one or more of these orphanages…find a way to follow him and I think you’ll find what you’re looking for”

“How did you…” Hermione started.

“I get my information from watching, looking, and eavesdropping and of course…good old fashion asking” He answered her “My mother seems to know most to everything about Ron and Ginny” He raised a brow at Draco.

“Is she cheating on Potter?” Draco asked “This would make mine and Potter’s life so much easier…so…yeah, is she?”

“I don’t know” George answered with an annoyed huff, like not knowing something would kill him “I’m gathering that mum purposely doesn’t ask for that kind of information for the main reason that she can’t know or else someone can get that information from her”

“Would a private investigator be able to find out where Ronald works?” Hermione asked and George shrugged.

“I think so” He answered “It’s not like a job that the Chief Warlock has assigned would be top secret…just hidden, it needs someone good at finding things to look for it” George leaned back in his seat “It would have to be someone who tends to think outside the box, who believes even the strangest things are possible and isn’t afraid what others think of them…someone like…”

“Luna” Draco said and George nodded slowly.

“Someone just like Luna” He answered “I’ve given you all that I can, Hermione. Draco the only thing I can tell you is that my mother has been pushing Ginny to marry Harry in order to have a better life than she had with my father. She’s raised her, molded her to be the type of woman that would have made even your father proud…my father on the other hand just, hides his head and hopes that mum leaves him alone”

“Poor man” Hermione said with a small frown “He’s not manipulative and cruel like apparently everyone else in your family, is he?”

“No” George said “He, Bill, Charlie, Fred and I never cared much about status and money. Just happiness and the quiet life, mum was always crazy about the money and status and it only got worse after Ginny was born” He smiled “Fred and I were three so I don’t really remember the early days but I do remember the lessons where she taught Ginny to charm men, talk to them and make them fall in love with her and then she taught her over the years how to dominate them and get her way in everything but also pressed upon her the importance of money”

“Why tell us this, Weasley?” Draco asked.

“Ginny will play the victim” George answered “Tell that to Potter but also remember and remind him that while she pretends to be a victim she is always scheming, planning and is willing to hurt people that are close to her”

“I’ll pass the message” Draco promised. After a few more pleasantries Hermione and Draco left the shop and went back in to the public, again they scattered like they were carrying some kind of disease or something.

Hermione looked at him when someone muttered something about her being a ‘barren tree’. It was funny, the people that heard the stories about her divorce through the papers, Rita Skeeter to be exact, acted as if her not having a child with Ron was effecting them personally. She could almost understand their treatment of Draco, no one really knew what he’d done during the war, other than the few that saw his memories, and his secluding himself only made it worse. But she hadn’t done anything wrong and even if she couldn’t have children whose problem was it other than hers and her husbands? Someone took a picture of them, a reporter definitely, and she shook her head in wonder.

“Do you get the feeling we’re being watched?” Draco whispered, making her laugh a bit “I mean, I just get this feeling that someone’s looking at us, judging us and maybe even taking pictures of us”

“Vultures” Hermione hissed, glaring at someone who was openly gawking at them as they started to make their way towards Pansy and Lavender’s P.I. Shop “I hate them”

“My father always said” Draco said with a small laugh “If you can’t be famous then be infamous” Hermione chuckled a little “I never understood what he meant”

“He meant” Hermione explained “That if they won’t let you be a good guy then play the hand you’re dealt and be the monster that they think you are. Either they will love you for what you are or they won’t love you at all, does it matter?”

“Hmm” Draco sighed, then stopped and looked at her “They think you’re some barren shrew and that I’m a murdering creep”

“True” Hermione looked at him with confusion “They make up lies about me and probably you too”

“Then let’s give them something to really talk about, shall we?” He suggested.

Hermione was about to ask him what he meant when he put his hands gently on her hips. With a little pressure he pulled her closer to him until her breasts were pressed against his chest. Then one of his hands landed on her lower back and the other hand tipped her chin up, then slowly so as not to scare her, Draco’s lips touched hers. The reaction was instantaneous both from the spectators and from both of the participants, Hermione’s arms wrapped around his waist, her hands slowly creeping up until she was entangling her fingers within his soft, locks. Draco had only meant for it to be a quick kiss but the minute her sinful lips were on his, he couldn’t help but deepen it. His tongue ventured out, expecting to meet a barrier but he was surprised to find her only too willing to allow him entrance in to her warm mouth. Her soft moan shot through his entire body and made butterflies flap their wings erratically and reminded him that it had been quite some time since he’d had a woman in his arms. There was flashing from the reporter that was running around trying to capture the kiss from every angle.

“Just think” Draco said, once they’d pulled apart “Now we’ll have something new to read about ourselves tomorrow”

Shocking Display In Diagon Alley:

This reporter was doing some usual shopping and while getting ready to go home none other than Draco Malfoy apparated to the designated spot. Only he was not alone, with him was Hermione Granger, they were holding hands and looking quite comfortable with one another. They went in to the Weasley’s joke shop run by George Weasley and were in there for almost a half an hour before coming out, deep in conversation. Then when things couldn’t seem even stranger, Mr. Malfoy pulled Miss. Granger against him and kissed her passionately. The couple then visited a few more shops before they apparated away to what one can only assume is Malfoy Manor.

Miss. Granger who only a few months ago was Mrs. Weasley was divorced by Ronald Weasley when it became evident that she was unable to have children. As one may remember, some only too well, she lived briefly in a house of ill-repute where she reportedly took on “clients” for the night in order to make money. One can only assume that she is now the private lover of Draco Malfoy, which is fitting considering that he himself is a social pariah. It is interesting to see what is happening with these two that have fallen from such high pedestals to the dirtiest of grounds beneath them.
Rita Skeeter.

Ron read the story and then looked at the picture below which showed the two kissing just like Rita’s story had said and he sneered. Hermione shouldn’t be moving on like that, Malfoy wasn’t dangerous, not anymore now that the world had broken him down. He wasn’t even a shadow of a man anymore, he was shit, so in a way he wasn’t surprised to see that Hermione had gone to him. She would have thought herself too high and mighty to actually have to get a job like normal people. That was the kind of parasite that Hermione had been, she never wanted to work too hard, just enough to make it look like she was her normal self but made him work all the time. Then he found out that she couldn’t have a baby and she actually tried to blame him saying that it was his fault when he knew that it was her. She’d been fucked up, he should be happy that she was Malfoy’s problem now but he wasn’t, he wanted her to suffer like he’d suffered being married to her.

“Can you believe this?” Ron threw the paper down on the scrubbed table at the burrow “Hermione and Malfoy…it’s disgusting”

“She just wants attention” Ginny sneered, picking at the muffin in front of her.

“She’s always got to be the center of the attention” Molly said, looking at her son affectionately “I’m so sorry, my dear-boy…I should never have pushed you to marry that barren cow”

“I want her to suffer” Ron whined “Just the way I suffered being married to her” He glared down at the picture of the kissing couple with anger.

“Being with a Malfoy is punishment enough” Molly said.

“It is not!” Ginny snapped “She lives in mansion, has all the money she could want” She stomped her foot “It’s not fair”

“She is a whore to a rich but hated man” Molly said, laughing a little “All the money in the world won’t save her from being back at that whore house in Knockturn alley taking numerous men between her legs…slut”

“Have you spoken to George?” Ron asked “I want to know why he’s conversing with them”

“You know George” Molly answered with a small sniff “He’s too much like Bill and Charlie, only sees the good in people even when they show you their bad sides”

“And what is Hermione’s bad side, my dear?” Arthur asked from his end of the table “Because I must have missed that too”

“Hermione Granger is a know-it-all that needed to be knocked down a few pegs” Molly smiled to herself “And maybe a few more”

~~~//~~~

“Well it’s a pretty good picture” Luna said, sitting on the couch near Hermione holding up the newspaper and waving it around for a second “Looked like a good kiss…”

“Oh shut it” Hermione said, red-faced “It wasn’t planned, I suppose we were just giving up on trying to…prove that we’re normal”

“Ah, yes” Andromeda said from the armchair “The old maybe I’ll look normal if I do something totally insane ploy” She lowered her voice “Always works”

“I…don’t know why I kissed him back” Hermione sighed, falling back against the couch “I was just going to give him a lingering peck on the lips and then…I don’t know”

“Hormones” Luna said, nodding her head “You’re at the starting point of a witches peak in her life and this is the time when they start getting ready to have babies…it’s natural”

“A witches peak?!” Hermione said, looking around “That mean’s I’ll reach old age soon”

“You’re only in your late twenties” Andromeda laughed “A witches peak spans over more than a hundred years…hell, when you were in Hogwarts it was possible for McGonagall to have a child, she was in the last part of her peak”

“A witches peak” Luna said “I’m going through it too. Now, when I look at men I don’t think ‘oh what a cute butt’ I think ‘hmm…I wonder if he’d make a good father’ it’s strange” She smiled her little dreamy smile “If he wasn’t my cousin I’d have gone after Draco…but then again, I think our children would look albino”

Hermione threw her head back and laughed loudly and in a way she hadn’t since before the war back in school. The thought of Luna and Draco having kids made her laugh harder because they really would look albino. The thought also sent a little jolt of jealousy through her stomach that was very uncommon for her. She’d only been jealous once and that had been when she’d caught Lavender kissing Ronald after the Quidditch match he’d managed to win. But now the thought of someone being interested in Draco, even if it was just a joke, made her feel the same way and that made her nervous. Hermione refused to let herself fall in love or even like someone, it always led to some sort of heartbreak and she couldn’t take another bout of that.

“So” Andromeda said “Draco has paid for all seven years of Teddy’s schooling, pre-bought all the books that he’ll need for the seven years and opened an account for him at the robe shop”

“Oh, he didn’t tell me that!” Hermione exclaimed, feeling something bloom within her chest like a rose.

“He didn’t tell me either” Andromeda said “But I figured it out, he comes by after I told you about my money woes, asks all sorts of questions about Teddy going to Hogwarts and then a few days later some secret benefactor is paying for everything for him to go to school?” She laughed “I am not stupid…I cried the whole night I got to tell Teddy that he’d be going to Hogwarts after all and now I invite you, Draco, Mr. Potter and you, Miss. Lovegood over for a dinner the night before he leaves for school”

“Draco and I would love to come over for dinner” Hermione spoke for the both of them because she knew that he’d go wherever she wanted to.

“Wonderful” Andromeda smiled “Well, I have to go and start making preparations, I will see you later” they said goodbye to her and then were alone, Luna must have known that something was up because she almost immediately set her tea down and looked expectantly at Hermione.

“You know that you’re here for another reason than a social call, then” Hermione said.

“I know that somethings up” Luna answered “What is it?”

“I need you to do something that has the potential to be dangerous” Hermione said “Normally I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t a desperate situation…”

“I am an adult” Luna said “I can decide if I want to take this mission or not, what is it?”

“There are these orphanages” Hermione explained “Built for half-breed children during the war…only thing is they are still running and I fear what is happening to those children and…”

“And?” Luna led.

“They tried to take Teddy from Andromeda” Hermione said “And I have reason to believe they took and have held a young woman well past her eighteenth birthday”

“So what is it that you need from me?” Luna asked.

“A mutual friend said that in order to find these orphanages we’d need someone who has the ability to see past what others don’t see at all…that’s you” Hermione explained and Luna nodded her head.

“Do you have anything to go by?” Luna asked.

“I got a letter from George” Hermione handed it to her “It’s addressed to me but you can take it with you”

“Thanks” Luna stood “I make no promises, but if it’s out there I will find it”

“Thank you” Hermione said, standing. She hugged her friend and then walked her to the door and saw her out, looking for a moment at the newly cleaned front yard. It was far from done but the rocks were gone and all the debris that had previously littered the ground was missing now. Luna walked away from the manor and opened the letter before leaving the grounds, to make certain that there was no way anyone could read over her shoulder.

Hermione,

My contact that happens to talk regularly with Ron told me that his next job for the Chief Warlock will happen in Scotland. Not too far from Hogwarts actually, it seems pretty bold that an orphanage would be placed so close to the school but out in the open is the best place to hide things.

Good luck,
George.
