Where is Hermione?

Kin

L'sus tightened his lips, looking downward.

"You must find her, or you will not be allowed forages in that world for a while. What were you thinking letting your son, marrying that brainless twit?" His father asked him.

Lucius Malfoy (L'sus' human alias) watched his father the emperor, with a mixture of fear, awe, love and contempt.

His father, once in a while, took humans as brides; he should know, he was the son of one. Brides was a stretch, he only loved the human who gave him a daughter. Lucius' mother had left him because of that very reason. After the human, all his other brides were forever forgotten.

His human was the one who wore the crown and was made immortal. Moreover, their daughter gave him the one who would be the queen, Hermione.

Hermione was special, she was born with the marks, and the three beings, she was the only like his father. And...the fool he was, had let her slip through his fingers. Gods, he hated the Black witch, it was her fault. He could have been the favorite son. Never mind that, even better, he could had been the Queen's High Advisor. But, ir wasn't all lost, not yet.

"Father, wait, where my son failed my grandson will succeed, granted the brain pool is deficient. He is beautiful, yet not too clever, but wily, he is. My son's wife is, well, beautiful, and you are right, a twit. Maybe we can keep it all in the family." He hoped.

"Your son failed because your resentment against non-magical humans, your mother, the bitch, was a racist magical human. A bitch that betrayed me for a lizard, for the pretender."

Everyone growled, "Okay, not one of you guys. I meant the one I call The Scabbard. She is with the pretender, who might be the relation of many of you. So you know, I question your loyalty, and we all have our eyes on you, L'sus. By the way, I order you to lose the blond beauty's hair."

Lucius was fuming. His father wasn't done.

"So you know, she would have gone with your son, but he was afraid to ask you, she would had married him in secret because she wanted to share her body with him."

Lucius nearly swallowed his tongue, his father liked to make him squirm.

"You are lying."

"Is that so?"

Kinh E'lis snapped his fingers, and there, in front of him, he saw Draco and Hermione hiding in his room at Hogwarts.

The young couple were laying on the bed, kissing passionately.

"My love be mine..." Draco begged.

"I won't without marriage, I promised my parents; what if got pregnant? Come with me, my parents have enough and will help us."

"No, we cannot marry my father will kill me first; and you right after…"

The ghostly projection disappeared. Lucius sat on a stomp, he was dejected. His father was nearly yelling, great.

"I will take a whatever, I don't want more failed loves; I want grandchildren with a human or a part human, or we will lose a hold on our favorite world. You made us lose the biggest chance."

One of the humanoid dragons came to stand by his father, "True."

He sounded very familiar. Lucius narrowed his eyes. His heart sunk further.

"He is right, moreover, I told my nephew to follow his heart. But, instead, you allowed the mad bitch to torture our queen. I told you that she was the best of witches, and you called her a Mudblood. Then you let the snake bite me. Most unpleasant, I didn't enjoy it at all. You nearly had it all, thus, am with our Father."

Lucius harrumphed, "So much for best brothers, bloody Severus Snape, how was I to know?"

All his brethren growled, "You were insulting our queen, you should be punished."

Severus, the dragon, smirked, he had his revenge, better late than never. Nagini's bite had been nasty, he wasn't going to stay quiet.

For a while chants of 'punish, torture, brand, hang upside down,' went on. The air filled with the smoke coming out their ears, noses and mouths.

"Tattletale," Lucius grumbled. Severus the traitor, he had promised him to keep his mouth quiet. He hated the game, always working in the dark. Why? Because those were the rules or the magic wouldn't work. He knew it, but he didn't like it.

He hated that Severus wouldn't even look at him. Severus had stayed mad. He had never talked to him again, not after the bite incident; like it had been his fault.

About his mother, she had dissapeared. She had told him that she had a lover, one nobody would approve of. Then she was gone, supposedly with the Pretender. He wasn't so sure.

Meanwhile at Hogwarts… near the collapsed ruins.

"Scorpio, I am hot and thirsty. You are hopeless, the Granger story is a Fairy Tale, give it a rest and let's go dancing. This is boring, after dancing we go to your room." The young witch whined looking at the wizard searching the ruins.

"But my grandfather said it is true. He also said that she was a beauty beyond any prize, and her only fault was her blood. According to him, she was the best, and he regrets that my dad didn't marry her."

Scorpio, a 7th class, saw the tall and formidable Lupin-Potter. The heir to the Potter-Black fortune that he had multiplied like king Midas. Teddy was a genius and his inventions were in everyone's homes and pockets. He hated the half-breed.

Well, well, If his father had been a racist ass, Scorpio was ten fold a bigoted fool, plus he lacked Draco's smarts.

His father had it right, he liked the Muggle beauty and often dreamed of getting her. She was about his age. Just half-breeds annoyed him; ignorant he was one, part lizard at that.

Well, he just disliked Lupin. Mostly becaus his grandfather was always praising Lupin's smarts and looks. About how he had made the first million when still in Hogwarts, how lame. He also remarked that Lupin had inherited the legendary looks of the Black men. Grandfather Malfoy had told him to rise above his mother's family intellect, that looks weren't enough.

As for his father, he had always told him that Granger was the best. He remembered last year.

His father went into a secret room, and he followed him.

He was looking life size photos of Granger, "I should have listened to my heart, Astoria is a twit. I wish that father had known that I loved you. How I wish that I had asked you to marry me. I miss your sweet kisses, my Hermione, my love. I can still feel you in my arms, my sweet witch, my angel." Once he was done with his speech, he broke down and sobbed.

His father had not fared well. He had lost a lot of his hair, very uncommon in the Malfoy family. His mother, to his shame, had an eating disorder and was not a nice being, petty, greedy and just nasty.

Scorpio decided that he was going to get Granger. He was going to be the envy of all. Now, while his dad was at work he would put his dad's memory vials in the portable reader, invented by Lupin, to watch Granger. He felt a little strange watching the memories of his dad in his Hogwarts' room with Granger. He only watched them for a couple of seconds, by Merlin, she was HOT. But those memories were very private

He was dreaming of finding her when another voice interrupted his dreams of her.

"Mr. Malfoy," it was the new professor, he came to train them, Mr. Viktor Krum. He gave him a rash, a magic allergy. "Fancy finding you here."

Teddy finally saw them, one was his Granger's old beau. He had his number. He remembered that day.

"Viktor Krum was a nasty piece. He tried to rape her, but for me he would have," his godfather told him one day. Later he had a lupine moment, he had nearly lost it. His godfather had left him copies of many of his pensive's vials, and inadvertently had given him the raw version of The Yuletide ball.

That day, after watching it, he had felt the wolf rise to the surface, that day he swore he would revenge his Granger. Krum, a giant compared to her, had ripped her dress off. He had even heard voices inside, creepy. Someone who claimed to be his inner wolf, he said his name was Einstein.

What was Krum doing here? Teddy's eyes were turning yellow and his hair curly like his Granger's.

Someone tapped his shoulder, "Mr. Lupin."

He turned around, "Ah, Mrs. MacGonagall and Mrs. Pomfrey, Poppy, how nice to see you." Teddy noticed the professors were staring at Krum.

Teddy was upset, the day was not going well. He wished Nicole was gone. She had just told his former professors, "Teddy is such a bore, so obsessed with Miss Factoid."

"And who would that be?" Poppy Pomfrey's eyes looked weird.

"Who else but the bad hair Miss know-it- all witch, the one and only, Miss Granger."

"You are wrong she was my best student. You shouldn't be here if you don't wish." Minerva nearly growled.

Nicole wasn't listening, Teddy followed her eyes. Nicole was making flirty eyes at Krum, how gross, he thought.

"Have you heard from your Godfather?" Minerva asked.

Teddy lowered his voice, "Yes, he is coming back," even lower, "he found an old witch who gave him something to help us find her. She thought," he lowered the voice further, a whisper, " that Granger might be a fairy. She heard a fairy Queen had come to our world, it might be Granger. If so…"

He missed the look between the old professors, their half grimace. Who was calling his name? it was very loud. He looked at the wizard walking towards them.

"Teddy."

"Godfather," what is going on? Is this a grand reunion? How odd, he thought as he ran to hug Harry.

Darn, Harry looked just a few years older than he was. "You look so young."

Harry noticed that Teddy was talking very soft. "The witch, the one I wrote you about, she made me young. By the way, I met someone," Harry caught on, too many people around, he lowered his voice.

Seeing Teddy's quizzical look, he was quick to answer, "Not that kind of someone. Not a witch, but someone who told…" he stopped when he saw Krum looking at them. Harry's mien turned dark and dangerous.

The professors took note and grinned. They both thought the same, maybe not someone special but he'd found Seone, the recluse enchantress. That would be great news.

Harry grabbed Teddy's arm and took him farther away, "What the hell is that damned Krum doing here?" Harry clenched his teeth.

"I don't know; he just got here. I know this is for sure the area where Granger has was seen last. I looked at the memories of several people, and fed them into an analyzer."

Scorpio really disliked Krum, but not so Sussy Lestrange; as a matter of fact she was flirting with the nasty wizard, good riddance.

In turn, Krum disliked the old professors. He knew who they were, the daughter and son-in-law of the one humans called Oberon, the idiotic fiend.

He heard them, but not much, "Mr. Potter, we would like to help, be careful with Mr. Krum…"

Scorpio moved closer "…tonight…" he heard their plans.

"Sussy, you go ahead I'm getting a headache, go on to the club alone, see you in the morning."

"Whatever," the Slytherin witch, stomped her foot and left in a hurry.

Teddy noticed Scorpio dismissing Sussy. He was also going to send Nicole home. Where was she, ah; there she was, talking to lecherous Krum. She had moved away and hadn't greeted Harry.

"Nicole, I am going home with my godfather. I'll be busy for the next days. I will see you later." Not if I can help it. Teddy wanted her gone.

She was fuming, "Mr. Krum, I heard so much about you," she walked away hanging from his arm, she wanted Teddy jealous.

"Miss Weasley," Krum wanted to get rid of her, something was up, "I must go, it was a pleasure meeting you."

Krum was ruminating; he could nearly smell his bride. With her he would conquer the shadow worlds, and rid them of the weakly Oberon.

A few centuries ago, Krum had asked Oberon for his daughter in marriage; she was the daughter of his human wife. Oberon had told him that he wasn't good enough, and had given her to that prince. The prototype-Prince was charming, had looks, brains, gold mountains, the works.

If not for Potter, nosy imbecile, he'd had the grand-daughter, Hermione. He had fooled everyone, until not long ago. When he found her, he was going to do what he had tried to accomplish after the Yuletide Ball. He was going to get her pregnant and let her be the queen in name only.

Other females were for later, first he wanted to get his bride and finally get his lust sated. It would probably take a few hundred years, he burnt for her.

Then, he would have others, damn, he wanted her. He nearly had her but for the punny human, the damn Potter and his freckled face sidekick. He would get them all.

He would destroy Oberon, denying his bride to him. Only because,the great K' ru (his real name) had it right: steal, take and conquer. Humans were nothing, he wanted the doors closed after taking all their gold, goody imbeciles.

All that humans were good was for writing the books that made all his kin have bad eyesight. Not him, he despised reading, he found it boring and confusing. Besides, it gave the fools ideas of goodness and heroic deeds; the very ideas that he despised.

The pesky witch was still blabbing, she wouldn't shut up, "Mr. Krum, maybe I can see you later?"

"Maybe…Hmm" What is up with the little whore, she needed to go, and he needed to follow Potter. "Well, I don't know, but definitely not now." With those words, Viktor Krum Apparated away and left Nicole Weasley standing there.

Vicotie'd pheromones hadn't affect him at all, not whatsoever. As for Teddy, he had not give Nicole her a second look.

Krum was cussing because of Nicole he hadn't been able to listen. They were moving away, and he couldn't follow them, damn. Maybe the Malfoy, the son of the other idiot, heard more, he wanted his bride, his.


-x-

a/n Like I said, I will give this a try. So Viktor is a baddy. Lucius appears to be Hermione's uncle...hmm. The cast is growing and mostly rather familiar.
