Well I gots go reviews for this one
so on we go.
Ashley, Molly, and Arthur couldn't comprehend why their dad was gone. All three were 11 and starting Hogwarts soon.
So one day in the middle of july. While Hermione went to go through job interviews, Ashley and her siblings began to grill their grandfather on what happened to their daddy.
But being Hermione was oblivious to this, she went to her first interview.
It was at a tavern like building. When she entered it, she found out what it really was. The half naked woman running around, helped her make up her mind. Plus when she saw the Red head in the front, she didn't even have to go to the interview.
The second place was a Manor much like the Malfoys. It was extremely large. She went to the door and knocked. It was magically maginfied to the knock wasw heard throughout the castle like manor.
While she waited for the door to open. She couldn't help but notice the beautiful carvings and engravings in the door. It had Dragons over looking a plain, where unicorns, and others were grazing.
Suddenly the door opened, and out stepped Andrew Nott, The youngest Nott.
"Please come in." he said tartly, turning and having her follow. The door shut itself.
As they entered his study, he turned and looked her up and down. " why do you want to work for me?"
" I don't not really." she said, truthfully. " i'd rather work out of my home like I was doing before the divorce. But i'm not making enough money for that. So this is one of my only options, and with Three children and another on the way, I have very few."
Nott raised an eyebrow at her.
" you can go now." he said turning from her. I'll notify you if you get the job."
with that hermione left.
But not before a black owl found her and dropped a small package in her hands.
It was addressed to her, with only brown wrapping paper. But a card was attached to the top of the box.
She opened it.
Dear Miss Granger,
i'm sorry to hear of your divorce,
I am in need of a maid.
You will have a full wing in my home to yourself and your children.
To enter for the interview,
inside the package is a portkey.
If you wish to start the interview,
feel free to grab it.
Feeling that this was her only chance to have her children in a good home, and have a good job. But also to get away from the creepy Andrew Nott. Hermione opened the package and grabbed the portkey.
A second later, she was inside a study. It was very ornate. The curtains were heavy and dark red velvet.
But before she could look at anything else, a voice said, " you are hired."
" what?" she said stupidly.
" I said," the voice repeated. " you are hired."
the person in the shadows, stood and motioned for her to come with him. she walked slowly behind him.
they exited the room, and they were in a gigantic corridor. " this is the wing you will inhabit. As you can see it is large enough for you and your children. Each wing has a kitchen of it's own, and also three bathrooms each. There are ten bedrooms in each wing. But if the rooms are not being used, then you do not have to do anything with them other than dust each room one a week. Each kitchen should be cleaned regularly about once a week. The largest kitchen on the first floor is maned by house elves, they clean that kitchen themselves. There is one ball room on each floor that do not need to be cleaned unless you have guests over in your wing. The Grand Ball Room is only used for special occasions, about three times a year. I will let you know in advance when one of these will be. Each Wing also has two libraries each, you may read any book in the house except those in my study. The books must be kept dusted, again as with the largest kitchen, the largest libraries are kept by house elves. There are laundry rooms in every wing that must be kept as well. I think that is all. I'll let you look around your wing. Then you can return to my study, and tell me of your decision about the job."
with that he Apparated away to his study.
Hermione wandered for a while. Looked at the books in the libraries, looked in at the rooms. Finally she decided that this was the best job she could ask for.
She returned to the study, where the employer was waiting with her contract.
" this is a magical binding contract." he said, holding up the paper. " you can't break this contract at all. You also can't leave my service for at least a year and a day."
" ok" said Hermione, looking into the shadows to see his face. " I have a few questions."
"alright." he said, leaning back a little more. " ask away."
" how much will I get paid? I do have three going on four children to raise." she said sitting opposite him.
" I will top anything your other interviewers were going to give you." he said, without a pause.
" ok." she said, slightly taken aback. How could anyone top three hundred galleons a month? " is food and anything else-"
He cut her off. " all food and comodities are provided. I will also provide a way for you and your children are taken to the hogwarts express. They will be starting within a month won't they?"
" yes." she said, getting quiet. She thought for a second, then reached for a quill.
" sign here, here , and here." he said, pointing to the blank spots on the page.
The hand began to glow, and at the bottem signature, she felt something poke the back of her hand. Then she realized that she had written the last signature in her own blood, which was now glowing gold, along with her hand.
Draco stood up and walked into the light.
Hermione gasped, and thought well this is gonna suck.
Draco looked her up and down again. " I expect you to move in by monday. The children can play in the yard, but let me show them the bounderies. I wouldn't want them to get hurt because they wandered to far or to close to something dangerous."
Hermione nodded.
" I believe that is all." Draco said, grabbing her hand and shaking it. " I will see you on monday."
Hermione Nodded again and apparated to the burrow.
Where she was immediately bombarded by her three children.
" Mom." said ashley pulling on her leg. " Grandpa said Daddy did something bad and had to go away for a long time. Maybe forever. Will we ever see Daddy again?"
Hermione looked down at her three very smart children, and sighed.
She got down on her knees, and said, " your Daddy hurt me very badly, by being with someone else. He even had another little boy with her. But he wasn't supposed to do anything like that. So he got in trouble, you'll be able to see him. but it won't be until after you get ready to go to hogwarts. Ok?"
all three of them nodded, not really understanding what had happened, but knowing that Daddy had hurt Mommy so Daddy was mean.
" alright. We're going to be going home soon. I found a job, so we are going to get ready to move." said Hermione, looking down at her children.
When they started to protest, she held up her hand. " I know you don't want to, but all three of you will have fun in your new house. "
they nodded again.
" ok" she said, looking at them. "Go get your things. I need to go talk to you grandma and grandpa."
Hermione watched as her children ran out of the room. Then walked into the kitchen, to find Harry, Ginny, Molly, and Arthur in there.
She sighed then said, " well I found a job."
"that's great" rang out all around the large table.
"i'm moving in tomorrow, and getting settled." Hermione continued, her head on the table. " the pay is amazing. But there one problem."
" what's that sweetie?" said Ginny sitting nex to her.
" you have to know I signed a magical binding contract, before I found out who it was." hermione said quickly. " I work for draco malfoy."
with that silence rang through the kitchen, then Harry said, " but hermione, he ruined you marriage. How could you work for him?"
" I didn't know it was him." she said quickly. " he had his back to me the whole time he was showing me the manor, then he stayed in the shadows when I signed the contract. But I can't give up this job, not just because of the contract. He's paying me over three hundred galleons a month. That enough to get all the childrens books and things, plus if I only stay on for the year and a day I'm required. The children will be set until they graduate. I can't give up this job. Also Malfoy didn't ruin my marriage, Ron did by sleeping with Malfoy's wife."
she growled the last part.
" well I gueess i'll help you move, hermione." Harry said, patting her back.
" i'll help to." Ginny said,sitting next to her too.
"thanks." Hermione said looking at her two closest friends. " plus theres a ball room in my wing, so we can have a party sometime."
the kids came in and Arthur said, " alright mom. We're ready to go."
" alright." said Hermione standing up and walking to the fire place. " Harry, Ginny, i'll see you tomorrow to help pack and move."
the kids and Hermione pushed together into the fire place, and flooed back to their home.
Molly, Arthur, Harry and Ginny looked at each other. Then Molly voiced what they were all thinking.
" I hope she knows what she's doing."
hope everyone like this chapter.
