Chapter 1
Mr. Lucios Malfoy,
We have a proposition for you have to take. There was an accident, and two people were killed. Leaving their daughter behind with no one to go to.
We would like you to take a chance, here, and adopt and raise this young witch until she has become of age.
If you want to keep your job, then I suggest that you agree to this offer.
Signed,
Minister of Magic
Lucios Malfoy couldn't believe what was happening. In order to keep his well paying job at the ministry, he would have to take in and provide for a girl he didn't even know the name of. He loved his job though. He decided to talk to his wife about it later during dinner.
Lucios folded the paper back up and laid it on his desk. "Mr. ...Malfoy" Squeaked a noise from the door. "Dinner." The house-elf let out another squeak as Lucios past him and went out the door.
He walked down the hallway towards the dinning room with the squeaking house-elf following behind him. "Does Master have any chores that he wants to give Phil?" The house-help asked while looking up at Lucios with frightened eyes.
"Yes, I want you to clean the whole upstairs floor and scrub all the bathtubs on every floor of the house." Lucios said with a hint of hatred in his voice. "Do that and then come and see me." Lucios dismissed the scared house-elf just as he entered the dinning room.
His wife sat at one end and his son, Draco, sat on one of the sides of the table. Lucios took his seat at the opposite end of the table from his wife. Looking down at his plate he saw a pile of mashed potatoes, roast beef, peas, and a goblet filled to the rim with pumpkin juice.
Draco looked over at his father with a dark glare. His father and him were never really close, so he didn't like him very much. He was a death-eater along time ago.
"Dear, I just received a letter from the Minister of Magic making a proposition with me to adopt a young witch in order to keep my job." Lucios took a bite full of the mashed potatoes, hoping his wife would come up with a good excuse to pass the offer, but he would still keep his job.
"OH! Adopt a young witch! I would love to do that! I wanted a girl after we had Draco, so he could have a play mate, but that never happened." Lucios' wife looked at him with pleading eyes. He had to agree to the proposition, for his wife.
"Fine! I'll do it! As long as you take care of her, and keep her out of my way." Lucios gulped down the last bit of his pumpkin juice and got up from the table glaring at his son, Draco.
"Mum, does this mean she will be living here with us?" Draco asked his mother with pleading eyes. "Yes, it does." His mother replied finishing up her dinner and getting up to head to her room.
Minister of Magic,
I have agreed to adopt this, witch, if you tell me her name. I will like to have her files and a little more information on her if you will. My wife is very interested in the adoption and wants more information. What is her favorite color? My wife is going to paint her room. That is all.
Lucios Malfoy
Lucios got up out of his chair and walked over to the nearest window and grabbed his owl. "Deliver this message to the Minister of Magic HIMSELF, and no one other but him." Lucios' voice was cruel and cold, but the owl left to deliver the message anyways.
Lucios' wife entered the room wondering when their new daughter would arrive. He let her read the letter that the Minister had sent him and told her about what he had just wrote to the Minister.
She left a half an hour later with all of her questions answered to go to the library. Leaving Mr. Malfoy to do as he pleased. It was nearly 10:00 when he received a barn owl from the Minister. The letter said...
Lucios Malfoy,
Thank you so much for accepting! The girls name is Hermione and she loves the color green. Her files are attached with the envelope if you needed them.
