A/N

I own nothing.

Draco P.O.V.

"Draco! Come here for a second!" I groaned. Mum was calling me again, and nothing good ever came out of that.

"Be down in just a sec mum!" Sighing, I set down the book I was reading and bounded down the stairs where my mother was waiting. "Yes?" I drawled bored.

"Sweetie, follow me." My mum gestured that I was supposed to accompany her to the parlor. When we stepped through the door she paused, pointing me to a plush arm chair. "You might want to sit down for this."

Casting her a perturbed look, I sank into the comfort of the chair, crossing my arms. "Yes? What's so important?"

"Well, honey, where do I start?" She lowered herself down onto the sofa.

Annoyed I rolled my eyes. "Mum, why don't you start from a beginning? That's a good place to start." Smirking up at her, I sank deeper into the armchair.

"Alright. Well it goes all the way back to Hogwarts. My first year actually, the first day on the train. My parents were the Blacks, as you know. I became a Malfoy when I married your father. Anyways, they were very prejudices much like your father is. I didn't care, I saw past the blood status. I honestly believed that who your parents were didn't matter. It's who you made yourself to be. Well, I met this girl on the train my very first year. Her name was Taylor, and she instantly became my best friend." She paused, collecting her thoughts.

"Alright, I get it. Get on with it." I was rather rude, but I was bored and I didn't see the importance of this.

"Patience Draco. The problem was she was a muggle-born. And that was strictly forbidden. It came time for the sorting and I was sorted into Slytherin, with her in Gryffindor. She instantly picked up on the rivalry between the two houses. But I refused to let that come between our friendship. The guy she will end up marrying was sorted into Ravenclaw. A very gifted pureblood boy, he was the top of the class. Remember that, that will be important later. So our first year, we were reckless. We talked when we wanted to talk, and hung out when we felt like it. In public it was a scandal, a pureblood Slytherin Black daughter, best friends with a 'mudblood' Gryffindor? It was not to be. I was ridiculed, and so was she. By the time we got to third year, we kept our friendship silent reserved to secretly sending owls. By this time I had developed feelings for your father. He was a handsome young man. He looked very similar to you when he was your age. Well, I slowly got to know him, reveling in my position as his favorite girl. He was a sought after guy. And as I got closer to him, he got closer to me. He found out about my relationship with Taylor, and well would not have it. He used to hit me back then as well." A tear trickled down her face and she paused. Taking a deep breath she continued.

"He was furious, and I swore I would never speak to her again. We kept our friendship a secret and only met up and talked in the room of requirement. By the time we reached the end of our 7th year at Hogwarts, she was in a steady relationship with Robert, the boy I told you about earlier, and I was in a steady relationship with Lucius. I was allowed to talk to Robert; Lucius didn't have too much a problem with that. Your father was a proud man, even back then. He would not stand for me associating with anyone but smart talented purebloods. Lucky for me, Taylor got herself involved with one. We were able to pass messages through him. One day he told me some news that made me pale in excitement. Taylor was pregnant. With his child. She confided that she was taking a potion to conceal her pregnancy, and she would be marrying him as soon as they got out of school. I had already told her that I was engaged to Lucius, a match both our families approved of. And she knew that I was also pregnant. With his child. With you Draco. Robert told me that Taylor wished me to be the godmother, and if anything happened to her and Robert I was to provide my home for her daughter. Of course she would give them to her sister and her husband, who happened to share the same last name of Robert. Granger." She paused again, letting me process this information.

"Ok, this is a very fascinating story, don't get me wrong, but where does it get important?" I asked slightly confused and apprehensive.

"Soon. So I was to be godmother of Taylor's child. We all left Hogwarts and she got married to Robert and had their baby girl and named her Hermione." At this my face paled. No. it couldn't be. I shook my head, and she continued not noticing. "I heard through the grapevine that Taylor and Robert were going to America. California to be exact. The Dark Lord's rise to power unsettled them, and they wanted to leave. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't take Hermione with them. So, as they planned, they gave Hermione to Taylor's sister and husband who were dentists. They made a good living and she would be taken care of, even though she wasn't brought up in a wizarding household. But she would be sent to Hogwarts when the time came." At this I would have sunk down if I wasn't already sitting in a chair.

"What's this girls name again?" I asked, scared. Really scared.

"Hermione Granger. She is in your year at Hogwarts. And, the ministry heard a rumor of this, and they are going to be questioning her guardians. They don't know they are her mother's sister and husband. They are sending her to stay with us this summer, while things get figured out with her family." She stopped noticing my white face, even whiter then normal. "Draco? Sweetie? Are you alright?"

"Hermione Granger is coming to stay with us. This summer. And you are her godmother. And she is pureblood?"

"Yes, that is what I said. Why? I hope you are quite nice to her. She is a Gryffindor, so I doubt you guys have had much interactions, but I really want you guys to be friends. I'm sorry I haven't said anything earlier, but with The Dark Lord, and Lucius, well I could. But now that they are both gone, I don't have to hide it anymore. When Lucius interrupted an owl from Taylor that Hermione was going to be at Hogwarts, he flipped out. Anyways, she will be arriving tonight for dinner. Please be civil, you will be in charge of making her welcome. That includes taking her where she needs to go, and entertaining her." She smiled faintly at me. "But I really do need to take care of some things. Thanks for understanding."

She reached out and brushed the hair off my forehead back, and kissed me on my exposed skin. She gently patted my hair and turned and walked up the stairs.

Bloody hell. The summer with Granger? This is going to be… interesting.

He smiled slightly as he followed his mother up the stairs back to his room where he shut the door and flopped down staring at the ceiling deep in thought over what his mother just told him, and the facts about his father that he had just received..
