Draco POV

Professor Snape left me something in his Will. Why else would my presence be required at the reading. Well what would I expect; I was his favourite pupil after all. What I don't understand is why Potter and Granger are here. I mean Professor Snape hated both of them so he can't have mentioned them in his Will, can he?

Hermione POV

It's all really exciting. We're here in the Ministry for the reading of Professor Snape's Last Will and Testament. I mean it's not exciting because he's dead, but it's exciting because he left belongings to us. I just didn't see it coming, he wasn't particularly fond of Harry and I when we were at Hogwarts.

"...to Mr Draco Lucius Malfoy, my favourite student, I leave my potions and kit, in the hope that he continues to further his talent for the art of potion making. To Mr Malfoy and his family, I also bequeath my house on Spinner's End, Cokeworth, a house of many memories, both happy and sad in the hope that they can make many more memories in the house in the years to come. To Mr Harry James Potter, son of my one true love and the man who stole her away, I leave the contents of the room within my house that has a door with a plaque reading "L.E." in the hope that he can feel close to the mother so cruelly taken from him by the Dark Lord at such a tender age. To Miss Hermione Jean Granger, the brightest witch I have ever taught and that will ever probably set foot in Hogwarts, I bequeath all of the books in the aforementioned house in the hope that she finds them useful in her quest for knowledge..."

Harry POV

I think I can guess what lies in the room. "L.E." were my mother's initials before she married my father. And after recently discovering that Snape was in love with my mother, it doesn't surprise me that he had some sort of shrine to her. What worries me is how dedicated to my mum this room is going to be...

Draco POV

As the house is now rightfully mine, Potter and Granger can't get in to their inheritances without my presence. I'd rather get this out of the way as quickly as possible so by mutual agreement, the three of us apparated straight to the house after the reading had finished.
