Prologue -Hermione's POV (You don't have to read it if you read Devil in
White.)
If someone told me I'd be staying in the Malfoy Manor during the summer by my own free will, I'd say they were nuts. But here I am. I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. My name is Hermione Granger. Or used to be. I will be starting my seventh and final year at Hogwarts this September. I'm a Head Girl and, I'm the heir of Slytherin and Voldemort and I are pals. Well, I Voldemort and I aren't exactly pals but still, he orders his minions to protect me, me being the last heiress alive. Want to know the whole story? Here's something Draco told me at the end of last year.

"Let me tell you a bedtime story, Hermione.
Once upon a time, when Hogwarts was first founded, there lived a wizard named Salazar Slytherin. Salazar Slytherin had many children and raised them by the Slytherin way. After his death, only two children were alive, married by then, and continued living. Those two families went on down many generations, not keeping their last names, Slytherin, but Salviean and Slyriean, not to arouse any suspicions. Those two families were known for their purebloodness and all was fine.
Until the one Slyriean's daughter fell in love with a muggle and married him. The Slyriean family was deeply ashamed and disowned her. But the muggle left her when he found out. But she was carrying a son and died giving birth to him, living only long enough to name her son, Tom Marvalo Riddle. 'Tom' was left in an orphanage and I trust you know the rest of the story of the life of the Dark Lord.
Meanwhile, the Salviean family continued living as pureblood until the rise of the Dark Lord. During those Dark Times, the Salviean family were accused of being in league with the Dark Lord, which they weren't, and were killed by aurors. They too had a daughter, Lisferia, not even one years old at their death. The aurors didn't kill that child and naturally, she was taken to an orphanage where she was soon found by two muggles, the Grangers.
Lisferia got accepted to Hogwarts and got sorted into the wrong house. And was disregarded for what she wasn't. A mudblood. That would be you, Hermione."

Last year, Voldemort's one and only sister came to our school disguised as a sixth year. Lya. She and I were friend. The only girl friend I ever really had. She tried to kill me at the end of sixth year by kidnapping me and taking me to Voldemort. But Voldemort got mad at her for trying to kill a Slytherin (That would be me) and killed her. I don't know why I cried for her. Lya also killed Lavender. Another loss.
Then, there's my parents. A muggle disease called cancer killed them. There was one positive side to my loss. They gave me a small silver key with a green snake etched on it in the shape of an 'S' A Gringotts vault key. Later, I found out it was not just a vault key, but a vault containing the a portion of Salazar Slytherin's fortune and the Salviean families fortune. It had like seven vaults in a row filled with galleons. And each vault was four times larger than the Malfoy's. Wow.
If you want to know the details of what really happened last year and why I love Draco and why he loves me, I heard there's a story about last year written by a girl named Lenoria. It's called the Devil in White. I like the title.
Well, enough jabbering. This is a story about me and Draco.
