***I was going to update yesterday but I am sick and yesterday I couldn't even move my head from the headache so I am sorry. Let's go to the sotry now!

The next morning after Hermione received an answer from Kingsley which said that he would be waiting for her, Hermione dressed and left for the English Ministry of Magic. When she arrived there she looked around her. She couldn't stop herself from thinking the last time she was there.

She had visited Ron and Harry at the Ministry. She was still at school due to her want to finish her education while the two boys were working at the Ministry as aurors. She wanted to surprise them because they hadn't seen each other in weeks and she had missed them terribly. She was ready to knock the door to the office when she heard her name from inside the room. She frowned and even if it was against her will she stayed there to hear what was said ''What do you think we should do with Hermione?'' Harry had asked then ''Well I say that it is time for her to learn the truth. We just can't continue having her running around with us. She is just a bookworm'' Ron had said and his words had stabbed her like knives. She had taken a deep breath and she had felt the tears built in her eyes.

''Ginny agrees as well. She is just so deep in her studies and the research she is doing that she isn't even willing to come to these parties the Ministry is making for you Harry. And I always have to answer some questions about her. It's tiring.'' Ron had continued and Hermione had gasped and had tried very hard to breath properly. She hadn't realized that a man was standing beside her. She was only listening to what those two so called her friends were telling about her.

''It's settled then! We will send her a letter saying that we want to meet her at the three broomsticks and we will tell her there.'' Ron had again said and Hermione had felt herself being dragged away. She didn't hear if Harry had answered but she really hadn't care. She had looked up to the face and had saw Lucius Malfoy trying to not be seen by anyone taking her away from her two ex friends. She had tried to stand up and the two had walked towards a fireplace and Lucius had flooded them at his house. There he had given her a potion to calm down and then he had explained how he was there and that he had heard most part of the conversation. From that day Hermione was grateful to Lucius for taking her away from there even if they never were on good marks in the past.

Hermione shook her head and smiled. She didn't need them. She had a lot of friends now in Italy and few others from her past as well. She continued her way towards Kingsley's Office. Outside from the office she saw a young woman with brown hair checking some parchments probably for Kingsley. Hermione stood in front of the woman and cleared her throat. When the woman looked up from her parchments she widened her eyes and immediately stood up. ''Miss Gr-''

Hermione put a hand to stop her from saying her name out loud. ''I am here to see the Minister and I don't want people running around because I am here. Continue your work and I will go inside. I know the way'' Hermione said and smiled

''Of course. I am sorry!'' the secretary said and Hermione nodded and walked towards the Minister's office. She knocked at the door and when Kingsley called 'enter' Hermione opened the door and walked inside. Kingsley look up from his work and saw her walking inside ''Hermione'' he said and stood up and in a few steps he had taken her in his arms and had hugged her tight ''How have you been?'' he asked her when Hermione sat down

''I am okay Kingsley! How about you?'' Hermione said and smiled at her old friend.

''I okay! Tired most of the time but okay!'' He answered her ''How is my godson?'' Kingsley asked and purred Hermione some tea.

''He is absolutely fine! He love his school and he is ecstatic with the idea of having a little one to play.'' Hermione said and Kingsley chuckled. ''However he missed his godfather very much'' she continued

Kingsley nodded ''I miss him terribly as well. With all those attacks I just can't find enough time anymore. I wish you could come back and stay here in London so I could see him and little Eileen more. I miss her too you know.'' Kingsley said

Hermione shook her head ''You are just like Lucius sometimes. He is asking the same from Severus and I. He wants to have Eileen as near as possible. I really can't understand you. It's not like we are using airplanes. I know that still you need some hours to go from one country to the other but it's not that much. And you know very well that both Severus and I have the centre of our communities on Italy. We can't just leave from there.'' Hermione said and Kingsley nodded.

''Yes I know! However this is a conversation for some other time. I think that we have other matters to discuss now'' He said and Hermione nodded

''Yesterday it came to my hands a parchment with your signal and the signal of the head of the aurors department ordering Lucius and Narcissa to leave from their house because it was under search for things and books of Dark Magic.'' Hermione said and handed him the parchment. ''Lucius and Narcissa informed the aurors that every book and every item with Dark Magic was burned with the original Malfoy Manor few years ago but the aurors didn't seem to care.'' She continued

''Wait a minute. I never sign this parchment Hermione. I trust both Lucius and Narcissa. I was there the day they burned the Manor. I didn't sign this.'' Kingsley said.

''Who is the head of the aurors department?'' Hermione asked now very confused.

''Harry'' Kingsley said and Hermione looked at him with eyes wide open.

''This is not Harry's signal. I remember it very well. Something has happened here Kings. I think that someone is trying to confuse us.'' Hermione said and looked at her old friend

''Do you think that it might be possible that those 'aurors' that were there yesterday were in reality death eaters? They might want to find a base and the Malfoy Manor is a very good one.'' Kingsley said and Hermione nodded

''It's possible. I don't really now to say the truth but it is indeed possible. But why would they want to stay at the Manor? What could possible make them want to have the Manor as a base?'' Hermione asked and looked at Kingsley

''I don't know. Maybe they want to blackmail with some way Lucius and Draco and it's possible that they want to drug Severus in the game as well. But the question is what the three of them have in common which the death eaters can use against them'' Kingsley said and looked at Hermione with question in his eyes.

Hermione thought about the possibilities. What could those three have in common and very dear in their hearts? Then it clicked inside her head ''Scorpius'' Hermione exclaimed in horror.

Kingsley looked at her with the same question and said ''Scorpius?''

''Come on Kings, think! Scorpius father is Draco. Lucius is his grandfather while Severus is his godfather.'' Hermione said and Kingsley nodded in realization.

'' But how could they possible take Scorpius away from them?'' Kingsley asked

'' Draco, Astoria and Scorpius are still in America. Narcissa said that it would be best if no one said anything to them about the aurors throwing them out of the house. That means that if Draco and his family returned they would go at the Manor immediately. Then the death eaters could easily trap them and take Scorpius away.'' Hermione said and sighed deeply.

''You are right. I think that I will not send anyone yet at the Manor to see what is happening. We will wait for a while first.'' Kingsley said and Hermione nodded.

''I have to go now. We have to inform Draco and Astoria about the situation. Maybe it is best for them to return and they can stay in Italy with Severus and me.'' Hermione said and stood up

Kingsley hugged her again ''I will send you a letter immediately when I will have news about the current situation'' Kingsley said and Hermione thanked him and left.

When she arrived at her house she explained the situation to Severus, Lucius and Narcissa. The three agreed with Hermione on informing Draco and Astoria about the situation and Lucius immediately wrote a letter to his son.

Late in the evening they received an answer from Draco saying that he, Astoria and Scorpius would be the following day at the evening on Italy and that they would talk more when they would arrive at Severus and Hermione's house.
