Chapter 1

If someone would have asked Hermione Granger at the end of the war what is she going to do in her life then she would have told that person that she is going to make sure that muggleborns get equal rights, every fugitive death eater goes to Azkaban and maybe after few years marry Ronald Weasley. But after four years of the second wizarding war her life is complete opposite of what she had once imagined.

Working at eight o'clock on Friday evening she was alone in her office, staring at a file on her desk with a name she hated almost as much as she hated Voldemort if not more.

With that name came all the memories that always told her what her place was in the society. She never showed that she was affected by it or cared what the people said or what the so called elite of the society told her but recently she has not got the luxury to not think about it.

She was working at a dead end job in ministry where she was nothing but a personal servant of a mossy, gruesome, repulsive and awful old man. Mr. Andrew Wande, second to the secretary of head of Department of Care of Magical Creatures, was an arrogant pureblood who believed that Mudbloods are no better than house elfs, so much for Hermione's aim of blood equality.

But her job was not something she cared about, it was just a mean to earn her living. Her personal life was much more messy than her professional life. Her parents were presumed dead, as if it was not enough Ron broke up with her because she was too uptight for him.

Harry was the only constant in her life but they too were drifting apart.

It was difficult to be someone's friend when all the people they hang out with don't like you. After the break up Hermione tried to be normal with the Weasleys but it was very awkward. Ginny thought that she was the reason why her brother has took up drinking and hooking up with any girl he finds on streets. She held Hermione responsible for her brother becoming a philanderer.

Hermione went to the Burrow for a few Sunday lunches but with Mrs. Weasley trying to fix her again with Ron, Mr. Weasley giving her pitiful looks and Ginny's hatred she left going.

But this was not a time for her personal musings. The file on the desk drew her attention again. She was supposed to complete her work regarding the case. The file read :- "Unregistered Dementors- Malfoy Manor"

Everyone knew that Lucius Malfoy has died a year ago in Azkaban but no one knew where the other two Malfoys were, no one claimed Lucius' body. There was no trace left of Narcissa or Draco Malfoy. Everyone considered them dead but Hermione believed differently.

Something about Malfoy has always disturbed her, in school he had always insulted her then during the war his shallow looks had drawn her attention and now his absence. She knew that an arrogant prat like him will not vanish like a nobody, then what was it? Where was Draco Malfoy?

The lights flickered and Hermione saw the time 8:45 PM displayed on her digital watch. It was getting late but Malfoy's case was making her restless. Although she was just supposed to write the summary of the case for her boss but she was not satisfied by it.

The report said that aurors have found 150 dementors in the dungeons and many uncounted who were hiding in different parts of the manor.

After the war the aurors have found dementors at many places but this was the first time when they have located them in this large number. They were waiting for reinforcement to bring them back to Azkaban.

Hermione didn't know what triggered it but the next moment she was gathering her stuff. She picked her purse, her cloak, her wand and moved towards the ministry exit.

Determined to find about Malfoy. She clutched her wand and apprated to Malfoy Manor, her watch showing the time 9:15 PM.
