THIS IS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM HAHA SORRY IF ITS NOT VERY GOOD R&R PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS WELCOME BUT NO OUT RIGHT HATING

An unlikely friendship

Hermione was doing her rounds when she heard voices 'For God sake who's out now I just want to go to bed' she sighed when a hand closed around her mouth muffling her scream "Hello Hermione" Smirked Lucius Malfoy "Now, in a minute I'm going to take away my hand and you'll do exactly as I say, scream and I will make it so much worse for you okay?"

She nodded fear gathering in the pit of her stomach

"There's a good girl" he smirked as he took away his hand. Hermione tried reach for her wand but he grabbed her hand and shoved her against the wall "Did I tell you to move?" he growled and Hermione shook her head "I warned you"

"Please… please leave me alone" she begged in a small voice

"I don't think I will"

"Please"

"You shouldn't have moved" he whispered in her ear as he brushed his finger tips along her cheek and down her neck, his lips brushed hers ever so slightly

"I'm not the horrible person you think I am"

"You murder people for no reason" she spat

"I do what I am told, and I'm on the Dark Lord's side because it is the one that will triumph" his breath sweet in Hermione's face scrambling her thoughts slightly

"Voldermort will never triumph" Hermione growled

"Tut, tut Miss Granger you should know better than to use his name"

"Fear of a name only increase fear of the thing itself"

"When will you stop thinking and start acting?""

"When will you choose the right side?" she snapped 'why is he being so strangely nice' she thought to herself

"Why are you so tense?"

"That is none of your business"

"Hermione, I know you think I am a horrible death eater and I don't have a nice bone in my body but I do"

"I don't trust you and I never will" she growled "So why are you being nice to me?"

"I just want a chance to redeem myself and my family before the end" he admitted

"Helping one person won't do that, and staying with Voldermort defiantly won't"

"So you admit you need help?" drawled Lucius

"What I need is my business, redeeming yourself is yours"

"What do you think Severus?" smirked Lucius

"I think that you shouldn't hold a young woman against the wall especially were your hands are" he drawled clocking Lucius hands on Hermione's waist her shirt pushed up ever so slightly "It could look very bad, and if you are going to have this conversation have it somewhere more private say… my office"

Very well" he said releasing her, Hermione found her thoughts instantly become clear and her curiosity got the best of her "Well do you want my help or not?" she snapped

"Feisty I like that in a girl"

"I'm sure you do" she glared "Professor are you coming?"

"Yes I suppose I have to, this way" he sighed inwardly 'why did he always get pulled into the Malfoy's petty problems' walking in between them he didn't like the way the Lucius was glancing at Hermione he'd saw Draco look at her like it a couple of times to, but maybe he had it wrong maybe the look was really disguising the longing for help, for inner peace instead of the hellish fire that caused them pain throughout the day growing until it finally became unbearable and that's why they stopped fighting it and succumbed to it.

Lucius was the first to break the silence as he head to the dungeons "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before."

Hermione sighed 'this is going to be hard work' "The time will come in everyone's life when we have to choose between what is right and what is easy, what you choose will define you as a person but I guess you've already made your choose" she snapped

"Why are you so snappy?" he taunted and smirked as her hands balled into fists

"All I wanted to do was go to bed but then you jumped me and pulled me into your petty problems"

"Well it was a learning curve for both of us"

"How was it a learning curve for both of us?" Hermione exclaimed

"I learnt you have incredibly soft lips and you learnt that I want help" Lucius smirked as he saw Severus' lips twitch "And what are you smirking at Professor?" questioned Hermione whose face had turned slightly pink

"Nothing… In" he ordered and pointed to the open door "Granger sit, Lucius stand or sit do whatever you want" said Snape as he settled into the chair around the desk from Hermione

"Professor I'd really rather…"

"I don't care what you'd rather do, sit down now" he ordered "Or do you want Lucius here to make you sit"

She looked like she was about to argue and after a moment's hesitation she sighed and settled into the chair never fully relaxing. 'You've got to admit Severus she is very smart' he thought to himself 'and rather beautiful, no, wait, what where did that come from get that thought out of your head now' and Lucius rounded on her hands either side of her on the arms of the chair face close to hers forcing her against the back of the chair "You know I usually get what I want" his breath sweet on her face once more scrambling her thoughts

"I'm sure you do, but if you haven't noticed this isn't usual circumstances"

"Humph, that's never stopped me before, you see I like being in control"

'Seduce him, lead him on and then pull your wand on him' that was her plan and God she hoped it would work

"Do you now?" she smirked raising her hand so it was on his cheek, her thumb rubbing circles ever so slightly pulling him close so her lips were millimetres away from hers letting them brush ever so slightly before whispering in his ear "People who crave control, fear being vulnerable" and at this she pulled her wand and pressed it against his stomach "Who's in control now?" and she winked at Snape over Lucius' shoulder 'knowing not what drove her to do it all she did know was after she did it was incredibly difficult to look away' shocked flashed in both of their eyes and then nothing but a battle was raging inside of their heads. She stowed her wand and pushed Malfoy away "Don't under estimate me Malfoy, you'll regret it"
