Hermione walked down the stairs for the meeting that Draco told her about. In a letter, sent in the wee hours of the morning. Not face to face. She still had no clue what she’d done wrong and wanted to talk to Luna to figure out what the hell was going on. Hermione sat down on the couch and looked across her at Harry who was sitting before her. His eyes were red, he was emotional and she had no clue why, Draco was standing by the fireplace with his hands on the mantel staring at the leaping flames. The front door was opened and a second later a group of people entered. George then Charlie who she hadn’t seen since the end of the war, Bill and Fleur and her little sister Gabrielle, with a tall handsome man with blonde hair and a scar on his face brought up the rear.
“Welcome” Draco said, ominously from the fireplace as he slowly turned to look at the whole room, his eyes lingered a few seconds longer on Hermione before he looked away “This meeting was called last minute and I apologize if it cut in to your days but this is of the utmost importance”
“Why are we here?” Pansy asked, she looked over at Lavender who was nodding and Blaise who was impatiently tapping away on his magical cell phone.
“George?” Draco said, the red haired man walked to where Draco was standing.
“I was dropping off some supplies that the ministry buys from the store yesterday” George told them “I had to go to Height’s office to collect my monthly payment, his secretary had me go right in and I saw some documents that I assure you he never wanted anyone to see”
“What kind of documents?” Blaise asked in a lazy tone “We already know about the half-breed children being taken and have promised to help if we can…”
“Blaise” Draco hissed “Shut it”
“They have been taking kids” George confirmed “We all know that and have been thinking of ways to prove it but the documents I found were about half-breed adults” He held up his copy of the documents “Draco and Luna are on it”
“You’re a half-breed?” Lavender asked in surprise.
“My fathers mother was a Veela” Draco answered “My mothers family had Fey blood in their veins, Luna’s my cousin from my mothers side”
“She’s part Fey” Hermione said “That explains so much”
“The documents say that Draco’s status is that he’s still free” George said with an ‘obviously’ look on his face “Luna’s said that she was captured”
“No” Lavender said “She said she was going to visit her dad, she sent me a letter the day before the Dementor attack. We were supposed to have lunch but she never showed up, an owl came to my office building a little over an hour later from her saying that she was going on holiday to see her dad”
“That’s what we all heard” Pansy said “Even her coworkers and those helping with the paper and its not unheard of because she has been missing her dad a lot”
“Luna wouldn’t just leave” Draco said “She’d have told me because I have helped with the paper in the past, making sure that its out on time and all, her leaving is usually a week long process not something she does on the fly”
“So what’s your plan, then?” Blaise asked.
“We all have different talents” Draco said “We use those to find out where she is, to gather as much information about the abductions as possible but Luna is our number one priority”
“Bill” George said “You have access to bank accounts and digging in to past purchases of some of the more seedier families could point out who bought a half-breed child” The man nodded “Charlie you have a knack for magical creatures, we need them to keep an eye out, you sneaking around is noticeable but a magical creature is just normal” He agreed “Fleur and Gabrielle…”
“Ve are half-breed Veelas” Fleur said proudly and her sister nodded “But ve are Veelas none the less and ve vill use our…talents to get answers” She smiled darkly and the hideous creature that was hidden beneath the beautiful surface flicker before them a little “All our talents”
“Harry you’re still running for Chief Warlock and are a top Auror” George said “You have influence and I hate to put it this way but you are Harry fucking Potter…they will deny you nothing you just have to demand it correctly. I think that Malfoy can teach you to do that?” He raised a brow at the blonde man who nodded distractedly, he was watching Hermione and feeling the same hurt he’d felt the night before.
“Pansy and Lavender” George continued “You know your talents…you could find a naked, sleeping albino in a white-out blizzard, use that”
“I am good at hearing things” He smiled “And Hermione and Draco are the smartest people of our generation”
“You forgot Blaise” Pansy pointed out “And the cutie over there”
“The one rule we have about Blaise’s business” George said “Is that we don’t talk about Blaise’s business…it’s better to not know what he does” He looked at the blonde man standing near his brothers “And finally, Dennis Creevy. He’s a photographer who happens to make a handsome living taking candid shots of people in less than suitable situations. He accidently stumbled upon the orphanages a few months and took some pictures of Ron leaving them looking suspicious, he is here by default…he also happens to be a werewolf and it’s always good to have one of those around”
“What about Ron?” Hermione asked, if it weren’t for him they’d still be running in circles.
“Sorry, Granger” Draco said, everyone noted the cold tone he used with her “But Weasley is in a position to give information not be privy to ours” He looked at the others with a hard stare looking just like his father in that moment “You all have your jobs, work hard, work quick and work discreetly. The longer we take to find a way to find Luna the closer she comes to getting sold to a creep and likely raped and murdered”
“Malfoy” Hermione said “We need to contact Darren Pearing”
“Why?” He asked, scowling at her.
“Because” She explained as everyone started to leave “He’s already bought up to twelve half-breeds, he’s got a good rep with the sellers, he likes to help people get out of desperate situations and probably has a quicker way to finding Luna than us!”
“Brilliant” He said slowly “I’ll call him on the Floo right away”
~~~//~~~
Hermione stood outside of Draco’s office listening to him converse with the other man in the fireplace, it sounded like it was all coming out positive. She hoped that he’d be in a better mood when he came out of there, he’d acted strangely the night before and now he was being cold towards her. She heard movement on the other side and stood quickly, smoothed out the skirt she was wearing and then gave a solid knock on the door. She heard him call out ‘enter’ and wondered if that was something his father would say or if that was just Draco being Draco. She missed Luna already, she understood him in a way that no one else in the world ever could hope to and she needed that insight right about now. Draco called out ‘enter’ again and she realized that she’d been standing outside the door just looking at it. She opened it and heard him let out a small sigh, leaning back in his seat and gave her an expectant look.
“Is he going to help us?” Hermione asked.
“Yes” He said simply, he raised his brow for a second “He’ll be here as soon as he can, is there something else that you wanted?”
“Draco” Hermione said as she walked closer to the desk he was sitting behind “What did I do last night…or didn’t do. I need you to tell me because I honestly don’t know”
“Sure” Draco gave her a steely look “You really don’t know…such bullshit”
“I don’t…” She gasped, but his attention was already on something else. She’d been dismissed.
With a sigh Hermione stormed out of the room and slammed the door. Once it was closed she leaned against it and closed her eyes, tears were filling them and the emotion that climbed up her throat and it was choking her. Standing there for just another second, Hermione decided what to do and left the house, apparating away heading to Parkinson Browns Private Investigating Office. The two women were sitting behind their desks typing quickly on their magical computers. Lavenders eyes were scanning the screen madly while Pansy had three books opened in front of her and would occasionally type something before going back to reading. Hermione cleared her throat to bring their attention to her, both sets of eyes raised from the screens, focused on her for a minute then went back to what they were doing.
“Excuse me, Pansy” Hermione said “I was wondering if maybe we could speak, in private please”
“Of course” Pansy stood, smoothed out her pencil skirt and put on her suit jacket then looked over at Lavender “I’m going to the tea shop, would you like anything?”
“A scone?” Lavender asked, batting her eyes “Some Iced Chai tea?”
“Of course, sweetie” Pansy smiled at her and led Hermione out of the building and soon they were walking in the bright, yet chilly sunshine “So, what is it that you need to talk about, our newest mission?”
“No” Hermione said, she blushed deeply feeling like an idiot with wanting to talk about Draco when there were half-breed children and adults being abducted “I need to talk to you about Draco”
“I figured” Pansy smiled at her “Are you two in a relationship finally?”
“No” She answered the Slytherin woman “Yes, maybe…oh hell I don’t know” She plopped down on a seat outside of the tea shop “Things were going well, hell he even like hinted that he wanted to ask me to marry him but then last night we almost had sex”
“Almost?” Pansy repeated “Why am I not hearing ‘we had sex and it was amazing’ or ‘we had sex and his dick is small’ why is it we almost had sex?”
“It was going well” Hermione smiled at the memory “He was doing some amazing things with his fingers and though it’s not like me I begged him to fuck me. He took his pants off, stood there in all his glory, I was like really intimidated because he’s not small at all and I was feeling disappointed in myself for being scared of him…I mean it, his penis”
“I almost expected you to call it a peepee” Pansy said with a big grin on her face, Hermione rolled her eyes and shook her head “So what happened?”
“I have no fucking clue!” Hermione exclaimed, startling a witch that was sitting two tables away “I was sitting there wondering if it would fit in me and all of a sudden he’s pulling his pants back on and making a comment about how he didn’t realize that he had to be a certain size and girth to make me happy” She shook her head with vigor “Then he’s walking out of my room and basically telling me to fuck off”
“Okay” Pansy said, glaring at the old woman who was gasping in horror at their conversation “This is simple, your wires got crossed and that’s all”
“What do you mean?” Hermione asked.
“Your eyes give away everything that you’re feeling” Pansy informed her, not telling her anything that she didn’t already know “It sounds like your eyes were reading ‘I’m disappointed with something that I’m seeing’ and to a man their first thought is going to be ‘holy shit, she thinks my dicks tiny’ see?” The old witch that had been shooting them horrified looks each time they swore finally hissed over to them to stop cussing “Shut up, granny!” Pansy snapped.
“I’m so sorry!” Hermione said, the old woman stood up and stomped away “Pansy!”
“What?” She looked unaffected “She was annoying me. Do you see what I was saying about what happened with you and Draco?”
“Yes” Hermione whispered, Pansy gave her a small smile before standing and going in to get two iced chai teas and two scones.
“You need to stop overthinking things” Pansy said, as they walked back her office building “Stop worrying about what people are going to say about you, don’t worry about what anyone thinks about your relationship…look at me!”
“What about you?” Hermione asked, confused with her statement.
“You don’t know, do you?” Pansy stopped walking and looked at her with confusion “Have you been living under a rock?”
“No” Hermione said “Worse, I was married to Ronald”
“Oh” Pansy grinned “Well, I thought everyone knew. Lavender and I aren’t just work partners” She smiled and waited “We’re married, Hermione. Why do you think she said no to dating Ronald?”
“Oh!” Hermione said “Oh my gods, I am…so sorry that I didn’t know…congratulations!”

Draco was sitting in the dining room when Hermione got home. He was eating an early dinner and looking through the Daily Prophet searching for any mention that suggested that something happened to Luna but of course there wasn’t anything in there. Hermione stormed past him and started to go up the stairs, he heard her stop halfway up, sigh and then come back down. Draco looked at the doorway when she approached, he was starting to feel a little bad about the other night though he was still very much hurt. His grey-blue eyes locked with her light brown ones then he lowered them back to the paper in front of him. He heard the footsteps move away from the room again and then he heard hard, fast steps coming closer and he lifted his face. She grabbed the sides of his face and pressed her lips against his, demanding that he kiss her back. Draco tried to ignore the kiss but couldn’t hold out for long, then he was kissing her passionately, grabbing her hair and pulling her in to his lap. Hermione ground her core against his growing erection.
“I want to fuck you” Draco whispered against her lips.
“Then do it” She whispered back “Please” He started to pull away from her “I wasn’t disappointed” She said quickly “Last night, when I saw…you, I wasn’t disappointed in you I was disappointed at the thought that I didn’t…don’t think you’ll fit” He looked at her, her lips, her eyes and everything about her.
“You weren’t” He started and licked his suddenly dry lips “You weren’t, disappointed in my…size?”
“Oh god no” She laughed “Have you actually ever looked at it…you could put a giant to shame” Hermione’s breath got caught in her throat when he smiled at her, a huge smile that came from deep within him and traveled all over his face and in his eyes.
“No, I wouldn’t” He said around a little laugh “But thanks”
“You have a beautiful smile” Hermione told him, her thumbs running over his chin and then over his bottom lip, mirroring what he’d done to her last night “You should show it more often”
“You should give me more reasons to smile” Draco challenged her with another beautiful smile “Then maybe I’ll do it more often” Hermione’s hand was just traveling to his pants, so she could make him smile when Kippy appeared at the door.
“Sir” She greeted “Mr. and Mrs. Pearing are here”
“Already?” Draco said, he smiled when an older man came around the door.
“My, my Draco” Darren said “You’ve grown up”
“Same as you” Draco said, Hermione scooted off his lap and allowed him to stand and shake the man’s hand.
“This” Darren said, moving aside to reveal a woman that was the same age as Draco and Hermione “Is my wife, Olivia”
“Nice to meet you” Olivia smiled, Hermione noted her sharp canines her pale skin and large dark blue eyes “You are?”
“This is Hermione Granger” Draco introduced “My girlfriend”
“I know your name” Olivia said “We heard about the war, I was lucky to have Darren…he saved me”
“He did” Hermione agreed “He saved you and many others, hopefully you’ll be able to help us save our friend from the fate you escaped”
“He will” Olivia promised “Your friend will be saved”
“You have your fathers eyes” Hermione blurted out, Olivia’s eyes widened at that.
“You know my father?” She asked “How?” She smiled “Is he doing well…how’s mum?”
“I met him on the Knight Bus where he works” Hermione said “He brought me here. Draco had a bad reputation and your father told me that I could stay with him and your mother if I needed to, that he wanted to keep me safe”
“That sounds like him” Olivia laughed around the tears that were falling from her eyes “I miss them so much”
“Why haven’t you contacted them?” Hermione asked “They think you’re dead and they miss you very much, every day”
“I was ashamed” Olivia admitted “Ashamed that I fell in love with Darren when I should have been begging to go home the minute Voldemort was gone but I was happy with him, in love with him and I worried that they would be disappointed”
“I don’t think so” Hermione said “You could see your father, right now even”
“No, not now” She said quickly “Soon but not now”

Height walked in to his office and closed the door, smirking at the woman sitting at his desk. His dirty blonde was brushed to perfection, the condescending smile now on his face showed off his perfect white teeth. The woman in the chair turned to look at him, her pad of paper sitting on her knee, her curly blonde hair was in a loose twist on the back of her head, her outfit was a turquoise skirt with a matching shirt and jacket. There was no smile on Rita’s face, her jaw was tight and set in an angry line and she was clenching her back teeth.
“The next story you will be writing is going to be about Miss Granger cheating on her NEWT’s” Height said “We will discredit her knowledge just like we’ve discredited her morals”
“My readers will want proof” Rita said, jotting down the next story he was making her write “Do you have any?”
“Of course not” He snapped “You know that she’s as smart as everyone claims. But you’re a writer so you can fudge the story to make it fit what we want it to fit, that’s your job isn’t it?”
“Yes” She lowered her gaze “It just doesn’t feel right…that’s all”
“You’re a reporter who has made her name known by stretching the truth” He snorted “Even Harry Potter will agree”
“But…” She started.
“What is our deal?!” Height roared “What is it?!”
“I’ll write the stories you want me to write” Rita said “In return…”
“In return I won’t let all my buyers know that you are the only other half-werewolf in this world” He smirked “You’ve fought so hard for people to not know who your daddy was, you even chose to take your mothers last name…what was your fathers…oh yes, Greyback, right?”
“I’ll write the story” Rita promised “Anything else?”
“Yes” He sneered “Remember that I am the only person who can keep you safe” She lowered her gaze to his desk, her eyes taking in the top part of a document that he’d hastily covered with another piece of paper.
Name: Edward “Teddy” Lupin
Age: 11
Blood Status: Diluted Half-Blood/Half-Breed second known Half-Werewolf child.
Parents: Deceased
“I thought you were going to leave the child alone!” Rita snapped her eyes to his, he covered the rest of the document that was showing her in the information “If I worked for you…”
“Why don’t you use that as motivation to do your best work” Height said to her with a nasty smile “And be happy that you are avoiding that fate”
“He’s just a child” Rita hissed at him and he laughed.
“They were all just children” He gestured to a drawer in his desk “I didn’t matter to me then and it doesn’t matter now” His gaze hardened “Now get out”
Rita scurried out the door and made a note of the document and the drawer in question. Once upon a time Rita had been ready to be the best reporter in the wizarding world, she would investigate mysteries, bring criminals in and make the world a better and more enlightened world. Then she needed money for rent and food, she needed clothes because there was no way her mother would be able to afford to take care of her, not that she was ever sober enough to actually do it. Her father…yeah right, he raped her mother and left her broken and a drunk with a child she never wanted. Rita had turned to the gossip part of the Daily Prophet and got lost in the world of fans and lies and she got swept away. The child, Teddy Lupin, he was only eleven years old and there was no way that she would allow him to live the type of life that Height had planned for him. She looked at the doors in front of her, took a deep breath, let it out in a sigh and firmly knocked on the door waiting for it to be opened. She was shocked to see Draco Malfoy answering his own door, behind him stood a couple that she didn’t know and then Hermione stood next to him giving Rita a dirty look.
“What do you want?” Draco asked with a hostile look in his eyes.
“I have information” She said, looking over her shoulder nervously to check if she’d been followed “I need your help…and your protection”
A/N: I hope you like this chapter. The comment about Pansy and Lavender being able to find a naked, sleep albino in the middle of a white out blizzard was not meant to be cruel. I was reading Da Vinci Code fanfiction and it influenced my way of thinking…I always wanted to write Da Vinci Code fanfiction but no one reads it anymore lol. Tell me what you think please and thank you so much for the reviews that I’ve gotten so far.
