Lucius was in his study when Hermione worked up the courage to go talk to him. Draco was right, this was something that he needed to know…it changed everything. She had been awake all night trying to think of ways to talk to the man, Narcissa tried to convince her that if she burst in to tears while confessing that he’d go a bit easier on her. Snape told her that the best way to admit to something done wrong was if you just came right out and said it, he also reminded her that the letter would probably stop him from getting too angry. Draco unhelpfully (and probably truthfully) told her that he would miss her when Lucius kicked her out. That was better than his promising to visit her when Lucius locked her in one of the cells in the basement and used her for target practice. Finally she stopped pacing in front of his door, took a deep, shaking breath, looked at Narcissa and Draco who were standing with her and knocked.
“Come in” She heard, she had expected him to swing the door open in surprise or be angry and demanding why she was bothering him. She opened the door and found him sitting behind his desk with a piece of parchment in his hands and was still reading it.
“Sir” She said moving her eyes across the room when Snape flickered a little in the corner “Sir, I need to talk to you but I need you to listen before you get angry and I need you to be open-minded”
“Odd requests” He pointed out as he put the parchment down “But I too had something I wanted to say to you”
“Oh” She twisted her fingers around nervously “Then go ahead”
“Well” He looked as nervous as she was “I know that you usually have…” He stopped and looked over her shoulder before continuing “Having you live here…it’s been surprising because I honestly expected you to annoy me but you’ve been mindful of my rules and courteous of my…ways” He smiled slightly, it was the first real smile she’d seen on his face since she moved in “I wanted to show my gratitude by inviting you to the muggle theatre, there is a play that has caught my interest”
“Oh sir” Hermione stepped forward “Please. Hold on to that invitation. After what I have to say you will probably hate me and will probably kick me out”
“Okay…” He led.
“First off please don’t interrupt” She said “I…there are ghosts in your house and it is Snape, Narcissa and Draco…” He opened his mouth with a look that bordered on fear and outrage “I’ve seen them and Luna Lovegood was the first in…merlin only knows how long to actually see them much less communicate with them”
“Why?” He asked “Are you being so cruel?”
“I’m not” She wiped tears away, Severus whispered in her ear and slowly she looked back at Lucius “Snape said in his first year when you were boasting about how you ran the school and everyone did whatever you said and that you were a god there, you’re shoe slid on the second step you were on and fall down the stairs breaking two ribs and your wrist” Lucius was breathing heavily and starting to shake “He said that no one, living or dead, had seen it other than himself and that you threatened that if he told anyone how ungraceful you’d been you’d…”
“Feed him to the Devils Snare growing in the Herbology classroom” Lucius finished.
“And he didn’t tell anyone” Hermione said “Not ever, not until now. The other Slytherins bought your story of having to pull that ‘stupid Gryffindor Lupin’ from the clutches of certain death in the Forbidden Forest and in the process got hurt yourself” She snorted “Do you want me to say why you used Lupin as the scapegoat?”
“Because he was always so weak, sickly-looking and covered in bruises” Lucius told her.
“And because you knew that none of the other Slytherins liked the Gryffindor’s enough to ask Lupin if that was what happened” She finished.
“They really are here!” He said “At least Snape”
“I will give you proof that Narcissa is here later if you want” She said “But first I need to do what I came here to do”
“And that is?” He asked looking around the room for the ghosts she just proved was there.
“Against your wishes” She want on “I…I went in to Draco’s bedroom” His eyes snapped up to her and she could actually feel the anger radiating from him “Draco was reading a letter when he heard his mother scream” She said quickly “When he got up to go help her he dropped the letter and it fell and got caught between a pair of his shoes and the wall” His eyes were harder than ever “It would have been found had you ever gone back in that room, but you never did and it’s been sitting there for the past year and a half”
“You need to…” He started to hiss.
“Look at it!” She shoved the letter in to his hands and after giving her a look that would scare anyone “Please, look at it…please!” He lowered his eyes to the parchment and started to read it, a lump forming in his throat and then he looked at her.
“Draco led you to this?” He asked.
“Yes” She answered “He’s been trying to get me to go in to his room for this letter since September but I only just gave in”
“You read it?” He asked.
“Yes” She answered “Harry can help you. He can help find him”
“I need to think…” He said looking back at the letter and taking a deep breath “Tell Potter, please”
“Yes, sir” She said and ran to the Floo network in her bedroom throwing in the powder and calling to Harry.
“Hermione” Her tired friend greeted “It’s seven in the morning…I usually don’t wake up for another four hours”
“Harry I need your help” She said “More like, Lucius needs your help”
“What happened?” He asked instantly awake.
“You have connections to all the magical orphanages’” She pointed out and he nodded, it was common knowledge that Harry used a good amount of his fortune to make all magical orphanages livable “I need you to find someone, he may have been adopted but I don’t know”
“What’s going on?” He asked.
“Draco got a letter from Astoria Greengrass the night he died” Hermione said quickly and he nodded “The letter told him that he had an illegitimate son but he never even got to see him because he was killed less than ten minutes later”
“Malfoy wants to adopt the kid?” Harry asked.
“Being unmarried and with a child would have made Astoria unmarriageable” Hermione said “They apparently never gave Draco the chance to take the baby therefor since they gave him up, technically the Malfoy line still has a right to take him”
“I’ll see what I can do” Harry promised.
~~~//~~~
It had been two weeks since Hermione told Lucius about the ghosts and about his illegitimate grandchild. Hermione stayed hidden in her room when she was not attending her classes, Harry had been searching for the child since she told him but to no avail. Hermione was working on her homework in her room, term was getting out early due to sickness that wreaking havoc on the wizarding world. The professors would still send lessons out but starting on Monday they would no longer be attending the school, at least until the sickness was gotten rid of. It was unusual for a sickness to have such an effect and it was actually just a flu but it kept coming back over and over again. Hermione had had it twice as it was so she was happy to be able to remain hidden away. There was a knock on her bedroom door and then it opened very slowly, if it had been Mimsy she would have popped right in. If it had been one of her friends they would have knocked and burst in with hopes of finding her in a funny position. It was Lucius.
“Hello, Mr. Malfoy” She greeted from her bed “How are you?”
“I’m good” He said “I need to…”
“No” She said “I broke one of the only rules you put up and I am ready to pay the price for breaking it. I will start packing, I’m sure that Harry won’t mind me sleeping there”
“Hermione” Lucius said “Shush” She looked at him horrified he would speak to her like that “I wanted say…thank you, for not listening to me and going in there and finding that letter. I am still unable to see them but I can feel them sometimes…” His bottom lip quivered and his grey-blue eyes filled with unshed tears “I want to tell them…Narcissa and Draco…I want to say I’m sorry to them, can you tell them that?” She nodded wiping her own tears away “I should have been home that night, I shouldn’t have chosen to stay at the office that long...I chose to stay there, I didn’t have to be there”
“It’s okay” Hermione whispered “How could you have known and what would you have done?”
“I would have fought” He said looking at her pleadingly “I’d have died with them…that’s the worst part not losing everything that I had because that’s bad enough but being left here alone”
He looked at her for a few seconds before slowly crumbling to the ground and clutching his head muttering about being alone and a murderer. When she told him that he hadn’t murdered them he told her that he might as well have murdered Severus by sending him to the dark lord. She walked to where he was kneeling clutching at his hair and looking as if he were attempting to rip it out. Hermione knelt before him and reached her hands out to him, she gently took his hands away from his hair and lifted his face to hers. Her keen eyes took in his paler than usual complexion, there were some lines around his eyes and there was at least a days’ worth of stubble on his face.
“In case you haven’t noticed, Lucius” She whispered to him “But you are not alone here anymore” She bit her lip “Now where is that man that terrified me when I was twelve years old in Flourish and Blotts?”
“He died” Lucius whispered back to her and she shook her head.
“No he didn’t” She assured him “He was gone for a while but he’s come back. I see him” She ran her palm down his unshaven cheek “All the time, I see him”
He closed her eyes when she brought her wand up, part of him thought that maybe she would take this opportunity to finally exact the revenge on him that he deserved. Another part wasn’t sure what she’d do and he was merely waiting to see, nothing happened for a minute and then she was sliding her wand down his face. He felt his face smoothen out and his hair get cleaner, he opened his eyes and looked at her. His grey-blue eyes taking in all her beauty, from her intelligent whiskey colored eyes, her small nose and full lips to crazy, curly golden brown hair. He moved his head a little closer to hers and she pulled back a little in shock. She wasn’t sure but he may have just been about to kiss her, she watched him and started to move back in when her Floo network sprang to life.
“Hermione, I just…” Harry stopped and looked at his best friend kneeling on the floor with Lucius Malfoy kneeling before her, mere inches apart “Is…is this a bad time?”
“Of course not” Hermione said as she quickly stood up and twisted her fingers “Lucius and I were just talking”
“I see” Harry said with sly smile “Well, I’ve found him”
“You found my grandson?” Lucius stepped forward “Where?”
“In an orphanage just near muggle London” Harry answered “I’ve got him at my apartment, if you’d like to meet him”
“Any legal paperwork” Lucius asked.
“No” Harry said “He looks just like a Malfoy. When I discreetly explained the situation to the woman in charge there she knew I was telling the truth”
“What’s his name?” Hermione asked.
“It doesn’t work like that in the wizarding world” Harry explained “He’s one so they merely call him by his case number. If he was still there when he was five he could pick a name for himself or they would name him”
“Please” Lucius said looking at Harry “Bring me my grandson tonight”
“Of course, Sir” Harry said and smiled at Hermione “I’ll be back”
“Hermione” Lucius said “I’m going to need help with him…you will stay, won’t you?”
“As long as you want me to” She answered, feeling that those words had a double meaning “I have never raised a child though, but I’m sure I will be a good aunty”
“You’ll be a good mother” He said absently as he waited impatiently for Harry’s return.
A/N: BAM! Did you see that coming? Lucius is going to meet the grandchild he didn’t know he had, Hermione may be gaining some feelings and he may be too. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK??
