A/N: Italic words are Draco's thoughts.
Prologue:
" Hermione it's the only way." despaired Professor McGonagall (A/N: Did I spell that right?). She hated to say it but it was the only other option." I wish one of us could take you in, but it's impossible. Harry is living with the Dursleys, and after the loss of Ron and George, I doubt that the Weasleys will be able to handle anything else right now."
Hermione shivered at the though of her lost love, that had been killed by a death eater during the war.
"But they were Death eaters…" she spoke softly
"As true as that might be, the only death eater of the family died at the end of the war."
"I understand that they are the only ones that are 'willing' to take me in, as a maid, but going there, it's just… they hate me. I'm a muggle born I'm the type of person they resent. Going there will mean constant endurance of hatred."
"There is nothing I can do… it has to be this way. " Tomorrow will be your first day at Malfoy Manor."
" Master, your mother wishes to speak to you in the foyer " reported one of the houselves, Pinky, in a scared high-pitched voice. Without even acknowledging Pinky, Draco walked towards the foyer. After his fathers death his mother has been acting like a very new person. Like a butterfly set free. Even though she had loved Draco's father, he had influenced her in ways she would rather like to forget, along with it the words pureblood and mudblood.
" You called for me mother."
" One of your little friends from back at Hogwarts is in a bit of trouble. So I offered to give her a place here, as a maid of course." What could she possibly be talking about? I didn't have any little friends in Hogwarts. Especially a girl in need of help.
"…" instead of voicing what he thought he merely stared at his mother.
" She's coming tomorrow, so I thought I might as well let you know…also I think this would be a perfect time for you to get close to someone from the opposite side." Draco's mind went into alert though it did not show in his face.
" What would you mean by opposite side?"
" Well she is a muggle born griffindor. Anyways I have prepared a room for her in the east wing…"
"That's my wing, the maids stay in the south wing." He interrupted with a growl, thinking this was not good if the girl was who he thought she was.
" True but I do wish for you to get to know her, stop this foolish hatred of people like her. Not that it should be hard, you know who I am talking about, the girl that was head girl at your last year." Holy shit I was right it is Granger…
A/N: So what did ya think? Was it any good? I know it's very short but I'm just getting started. If I did anything wrong, like spelling or grammar please tell me in a REVIEW!
