A/N:� Okay, I�ve
decided to take pity upon you and tell you just what�s up with Lucius 2.0.� Remember, only 1 of his 2 occupations was my
idea.� I can�t recall if I�ve already
written certain details down, so please forgive me if some things are a repeat!

***********************************************************************

It was a wonderful dream � Gildas had forgiven her and was
stroking her body with deft caresses, sending threads of glowing symbols to
dance across her skin and make her nearly insensate with arousal.� As she opened her legs to him, he moved
between them to press inside her slowly, his skin bright with the lust-induced
runes.� Her lover�s sighs of pleasure
changed into a low, breathless chant and the magic winding around her limbs
began to prickle until it began to hurt � she jerked into wakefulness to find
that it hadn�t been a dream, and that Gildas was moving inside her.� Just as she was about to scream from the pain
of the runes embedding themselves in her skin, his eyes began to glow and the
pain abated.� A whispered word and ecstasy
replaced discomfort, pleasure surging through her like a current until she
climaxed with a wordless cry, clawing at his shoulders and nearly lifting both
of them off of the mattress.� Her nails
dug into his skin and triggered his own release, the magic flowing from his
skin and sweeping through everything in its path until it slapped into the
carefully laid wards that had been set into the walls.� �Wh-what was that?� she asked shakily as he
shifted his weight from her and rolled onto his side.

�Same thing that always happens,� he replied, pressing his
face against the curve of her neck with his eyes closed.� Twisting around to face him, she could see
the amber light still seeping from beneath his long eyelashes and glanced down
the length of his body to see evidence that he was quickly recovering from his
exertion.� �Yes, again,� Gildas laughed�
apparently she had made some sort of surprised sound.� �No, you�re simply thinking very loudly.�

Hermione nudged him, and demanded that he open his eyes and
look at her.� He obeyed, surveying her
with those tawny eyes that seemed to draw her in with their swirling glow of
arousal.� �You�re a Legilimens? You never
said.�

�Legilimens? Not
I�� he cocked an eyebrow at her when she frowned at him, and explained
further.� �At times, I can just tell what a person is about to say, or
do. Unfortunately, it only works with humans � it would have saved me an indignity
or two if I�d been aware that Norbert was about to knock me on my face in front
of witches I was trying to impress.��
This made her laugh and cuddle close to him, and he ran his hands down
her body.� �Now, if I�m correct, we�ve
still time before we�re expected to be in the Great Hall for breakfast�� Gildas
drew her against him and once more teased her back into passion, making her
infinitely grateful that the man who took her to such heights lived on�well,
such heights; she felt absolutely free to vocalize her pleasure at his
lovemaking skills.

�As they dressed
unhurriedly for the day ahead of them, exchanging slow kisses and small
touches, she thought as privately as she could that she would like to give him
as much pleasure as he gave her.� He
clearly enjoyed performing cunnilingus upon her, but had never once asked her
to return the favor�the thought of wrapping her lips around that thick, glowing
shaft made a place low in her belly tighten and writhe.� She wanted to bring him past his control,
make him scream and howl her name�Severus hadn�t asked her if she had wanted
him in her mouth, but she knew that she wanted Gildas there.� Hermione smiled and slipped her hand into the
one he held out to her, and they walked down to the Great Hall together, only
stopping to allow her to reposition her hand in the crook of his elbow so that
they could enter together.� Severus
looked taken aback at seeing them on intimate terms again, and then his
features shifted into a lascivious leer.�
Anger started in the pit of her stomach at this; it was clear that he
expected to continue their �relationship� and as she glanced up at Gildas
reflexively, she was surprised to see the gloating satisfaction in his eyes.� �Gil?� she questioned.

�It�s nothing�yet,� he said cryptically and pulled out her
seat for her.� The other staff members,
with the notable exception of Sybil Trelawney, looked overjoyed that the couple
were back together and whatever breach had been between them was now healed.� Dumbledore passed her a folder on his way
from the Hall when the students were finishing their breakfasts and making
their rowdy way out the main doors, and Gildas kissed her in farewell at the
entrance to her classroom after he escorted her there.� �I�ll see you later,� he murmured with the
smile that was for her and her alone�his parting gift was a tendril of magic
that traveled beneath her robes to soothe the pleasurable ache their lovemaking
had left behind.� After instructing the
fourth years and leaving them to work on their Arithmancy homework, she sat
behind her desk and kept half and eye upon them as she opened the folder.

Now this was
interesting � it contained more information about the other set of �twins� that
she would have to reconnect, and she flipped through the sheaf of parchment to
find more pictures of the two wizards at different ages.� Lucius had apparently been born with a silver
spoon in his mouth and one up his bum, from the looks of things - did the man
have another expression besides �supercilious�?�
The other wizard - listed as Toronas Graylon � looked, quite frankly,
embarrassed to be alive at all.� Then she
came to another picture and frowned.�
Something was a bit off, here�.but what was it?� Quickly rearranging the photos in
chronological order, Hermione realized what the problem was.� Toronas had come into his power slowly, but
it had manifested all at once when he had been set upon by � she checked the
papers quickly � five older boys, all Muggles, who had wanted a bit of boxing
practice with the local �wimp.�� She
could track the progression of his magical growth by examining his eyes in the
photographs; there was an almost imperceptible look of increased assertiveness
in them.� Dumbledore hadn�t included what
had happened when his magical signature had been triggered by the beating, but
she could guess.� Scribbling a quick note
to Harry who worked in the Ministry of Magic as an Auror, she tucked it into
her robes for delivery to the owlery after class and began collecting her
student�s work.� �Don�t forget to write
down the exam information,� she called after them as they stampeded to the
door.

**********************************************************************

Hermione received a reply from Harry that night, the
envelope popping through her Floo connection just as Gildas entered her rooms
to spend the night with her.� �Oh, look,
Gil! Harry�s inviting me to the Ministry tomorrow.�

�Who�s�.oh, that
Harry.� I suppose you�ll want to actually
get some sleep, then?� He said in a mock-disgusted tone that wasn�t entirely
�mock� at all.�

She hastily reassured him.�
�Oh, no, lovey � your boudoir skills are always welcome.�

Hermione shrieked with laughter as Gildas loosed an outraged
�Boudoir skills?!?!� and pushed her
into the bedroom.� �I�ll �boudoir skill� you�.� Tossing her onto the bed, he
pounced as she tried to scramble away and they tussled playfully for a few
minutes until, breathless and laughing, the couple collapsed in a heap on the
bedspread.� �Ah, now I�m sweating � to
the bath with you, impertinent wench!� He teased after they had regained their
breath, and tugged her into the bathroom where he enlarged the tub with a pass
of his hand and filled it with hot water with another wave.

�That�s quite something,� Hermione remarked as she sank into
the water after they shucked off their clothing.� �You could just conjure me a sandwich or
something whenever I wanted,� she teased, scooting back between his spread legs
to lean on his chest.� Gildas tsked at her, sliding his hands around
to cup her breasts and tease her with gentle pinches.� She hissed as he rolled her nipples between
his fingers, sending tendrils of magic swirling around the sensitive skin, and
nearly jumped from the bath altogether when he caused another line of runes to
play between her legs.� �Gild-ah�ohhhhhhhhhh,�
she moaned, her eyes all but rolling back in her head at the sensation.� Her lover broke off his teasing long enough
to make sure they were both reasonably clean, and then continued where he left
off.� Much later, Hermione sighed in
contentment as he curled his body around hers in the bed.� �That was different�did you actually make the
water boil there for a minute?��

�I didn�t mean to�.oh, stop laughing and go to sleep, you
wretched creature,� he snapped, pretending to smother her with a pillow.� �Insolent baggage.�

************************************************************************

The next day after securing Dumbledore�s permission and a
substitute teacher to take over her morning classes, Hermione went to the
Ministry of Magic for her meeting with Harry.�
She hadn�t told the bespectacled Auror the precise nature of the favor
she was asking, since she didn�t want to spread any rumors around � the
Ministry was a veritable breeding ground for that sort of thing as it was.� As soon as she slipped her wand back in her
robes after having it registered, a familiar creature was mewing up at her
imperiously.� �Why, Gilly! I guess you
found your owner, then?� she cooed, leaning down to pet the little cat who
leapt up to attach her claws into Hermione�s robes and climb to sit on her
shoulder, purring loudly.� �Well, I
suppose you can come along.�� She met
Harry in Auror Headquarters and embraced him warmly � tiny Gilly batted a paw
at the Auror when her friend extended a hand to pet her, making Hermione laugh.� �Strange little one, isn�t she?�� She explained what she had come for when he
had led her back into his cubicle.

�Toronas Graylon? I can�t really set up a meeting with him,
�Mione � first off, I�m not that familiar with the Unspeakables, but why didn�t
you just owl him or something?� Harry questioned her curiously. Gilly pressed a
cold nose into her neck as she sighed and began to explain the situation,
greatly edited of course�Harry still thought of Albus Dumbledore as his hero
who would never set a foot wrong.� �So,
you�re telling me that Graylon is Malfoy�s twin brother?� That�s a bit wild�but I still can�t arrange a
meeting.� I don�t know him; Aurors and
Unspeakables don�t usually mix and we�ve never met.� You�re more than welcome to ask the Head of
the Department of Mysteries.� Be there in
a minute, Tonks!� He waved to the slight woman with vivid orange and yellow
hair, and excused himself.� �Sorry I
couldn�t help more, Hermione � if you�re around later, maybe we can go for a
pumpkin juice.�

Hermione sighed and watched her friend walk over to a group
of Aurors waving papers excitedly � no, that wasn�t the right word for it�they
all looked deeply troubled by something.�
Well, it was Auror business, she supposed, and went to find the
Department of Mysteries with a calico cat on her shoulder for company.� They had relocated ever since the battle
involving Voldemort, so it took her some doing to finally find the correct
level and obtain a badge for entry. Everything was neat and ordered; everything
the Auror Headquarters were not�it was small wonder the two didn�t mix that
often.� After questioning a rather
harried-looking secretary and asking two more employees who looked at her
suspiciously, she was finally pointed to a chair and told to wait.� Hermione was ready to push out of the chair
to leave when a door opened at the end of the hall and a man of
less-than-impressive stature came out and began walking towards her.� One glance told her all she needed to know;
this was the man she sought.

Toronas Graylon walked hesitantly up to her, blinking
rapidly and adjusting his spectacles.�
�Can I help you, ma�am?� he asked in a faint voice, as if he were
terrified of her reply.� For a moment,
she almost forgot that she knew so much about him � he was like a timid banker,
starting violently at every sudden movement.�
She proffered her hand which he shook in a manner consistent with a dead
fish.� That surprised her; she was ready
for him to come up with an excuse not to touch her and thus reveal his innate
power, but other than being slightly clammy, his hands were normal.� �Oh, my,� he said, recoiling as the cat on
Hermione�s shoulder arched its back and began to hiss and spit at him.

�Gilly, stop it!� I�m
so sorry�Mr. Graylon, I�m Hermione Granger from Hogwarts; I teach there and I
was wondering if you would possibly consent to talking to a group of sixth and
seventh years about your work here at the Ministry?� I�ve already signed a few potential Aurors
up,� and she smiled fatuously at him �And we�d just love to have a representative of the Department of Ministries come
talk to the students.�

�Oh, no � I can�t possibly take any time off at the moment,
but perhaps Ms. Sadler could help you.� A
good day to you, Professor Granger.��
With that he turned to walk away.

Quick as a flash, Gilly hooked her hind claws in the front
of Hermione�s robe and stretched out to place a tiny paw on the back of the
wizard�s neck, where a small amount of flesh was visible between his hair and
the high-collared robes he was wearing.�
A brilliant flash of blue light startled Hermione and she staggered back
as Toronas Graylon whirled on her, livid.�
He had nothing remotely shrinking about him now, and she backed up
another pace as he seemed to grow larger and infinitely more threatening. �Who are you?� he snarled, pulling off
his glasses to glare at her � the look in his eyes frightened her and she drew
breath for a scream as he began to advance upon her.

The small cat, previously content to be a passenger, now launched
itself in the air. In the manner in which Hermione had become accustomed to
seeing Minerva McGonagall change from her
feline Animagus shape, she now saw the calico cat transform into�..Gildas.� He pushed her back with one hand while the
other gestured and made a glowing barrier of runes that Graylon stopped
at.� �Let her be,� Gildas threatened in a
voice that made Hermione shiver.� �And
drop the goddamned glamour.�

�Not here I won�t,� the other man hissed.� Seeing two other wizards glancing over curiously,
he hurriedly put back on his glasses and smoothed back his hair. �Outside.�� He led the way, deflecting the questions with
a shake of his head.� When they reached a
somewhat secluded area with a few benches, he looked at Gildas through narrowed
eyes.� �If you�d be so kind to create a
ward�?� Graylon looked on in interest and dawning understanding when Gildas
removed his gloves and did so with a subtle movement of his fingers, the runes
plainly visible upon his skin.� �So what really brings you here, and to me,
Professor Granger? If professor you are�� he removed the spectacles again, and
Hermione was struck by the sculptured features of Lucius Malfoy�s genetic half
as he looked at her.

�Yes, I�m a professor.�
A professor who knows exactly what you do for your other job,� she
sighed, folding her arms.� �You were a
lot less�shy�at Ginny Weasley�s bachelorette party, Mr. Graylon.�

He smiled.� �Well,
then.� With a gesture, the glamour dissolved to leave a tall, well built wizard
looking down at her through eyes so blue, they looked like shards of ice below
elegantly arched black eyebrows.� �Since
you�ve obviously seen me at my�best, I must insist that you call me Toronas,�
he said suavely.�

Gildas rolled his eyes and made a disgusted sound in his
throat. �You mean she�s seen you with your kit off.�

�Oh, for heaven�s sake,
Gildas!� Can we just get down to business
here�? Yes? Why, thank you so much,� she said sarcastically when her lover
spread his hands with a classic �What?� look upon his face.� Hermione took a deep breath, and then told
Toronas everything she had learned � he listened with a politely incredulous
expression that deepened into outrage as she pulled out a picture of Lucius
Malfoy to present as proof.� ��so, that�s
what we need to do now � put you back where you belong,� she finished lamely as
his eyes lifted from the picture back to her, filled with an icy anger that
made her uneasy to witness.

Toronas looked back down at the photo of his otherself, then
up at Gildas who had been listening silently.�
�You.� How do you feel about this�this�.shite?� Do you really expect me to forfeit my life �
any more than I already have, that is?�
Would you give up your identity?� I remember quite vividly what happened when
this one� he gestured toward the photo contemptuously �used his
allotment.�� He lifted his hand to his
hair and smoothed it back.

�You�ve got�blond roots,� Hermione said, puzzled.� �That�s all that happened?�

He fixed a look on her that was so hostile, she backed
against Gildas instinctively.� �No,
that�s not all.� Imagine being in the
middle of your work and suddenly finding yourself not able to breathe � your
heart is being crushed within your chest and it seems as if someone has set a
fire behind your eyes that is slowly turning your blood into molten lava.� I almost died when your Lucius Malfoy took
what did not belong to him, and I most certainly lost my contract and most of
my reputation that night as well.�

Gildas, silent until now, snorted.� �Someone else had to finish the striptease
for you? You sound more upset at that
than almost dying,� he said snidely.

In the blink of an eye, Toronas had pulled a knife from
somewhere, and placed it against the other wizard�s cheek.� �You sound a bit too sure of what my job
really is,� he said softly.� Hermione
stared at both of them, wide-eyed�she could feel the spell radiating from the
blade, augmenting its deadliness.� �Do
you know why they call me an Unspeakable, Professor Granger?� he glanced at
her, then back at Gildas who was doing a remarkable job of affecting
boredom.� �Because no one likes to say
aloud exactly what it is that I do for the Ministry.� Toronas slipped the knife
back into his robes and stood.� �If
anyone is to be subsumed, it won�t be me.�
I�ll kill Malfoy myself if I need to�you can see yourselves out, I
trust?� Good day to you both,� he said
politely as he left.

�Charming bloke�I suppose old age does that to you,� Gildas
said calmly, rubbing two fingers over his cheek.

�Thank you for letting me know that I was toting you around
all morning,� Hermione said, crossing her arms as she remembered about his
Animagus form.

Gildas smiled slightly.�
�Was I too heavy for you?�

�You didn�t trust me going alone,� she accused.

�Hermione�� he reached for her but she slapped his hand away
angrily.� �Your judgment has been sorely
lacking, that is something you can�t deny.� He pulled her into his arms firmly
and resisted her half-hearted attempts to free herself.� �I know now the reason you found it so hard
to say no to Snape�but I didn�t know Harry so I decided to tag along.� Wouldn�t you have done the same?� Besides, it was lucky I was here to stop
Graylon from coming after you.�� He of
course didn�t remind her that he was the reason why she was almost attacked in
the first place, but Hermione decided to forgive him, going limp in his
arms.� �Let�s head back, love�with any
luck, Dumbledore won�t noticed we�ve come back so soon and we can have some
time to ourselves up in my tower,� he purred suggestively.

She reached up to ruffle his hair playfully.� �Sounds good to me�Gilly.�� They rose from the bench hand in hand to walk
back to the atrium and were about to head to the Floo grates when a very
familiar sneer stopped her dead in her tracks.

�Back at the Ministry, Miss Granger?� Muggle borns should stay out of politics and
where they belong�with their own kind,� Lucius Malfoy mocked.�

They turned and both wizards gave a start when their eyes
met.�

�Lucius?� Gildas asked, surprised.

�Gildas?� Lucius countered, amazed.

�Oh, no,� Hermione
moaned, crestfallen.
