Last time

"You may have the honor." Just then the boy bound into the room, he bowed and kissed the hems of my father and my cloaks.

My father looked at me, "If you are to marry me then I wish to see your face, then I will decide what to do with you," the boy bowed and proceeded to take off his hood.

"Draco Malfoy!" I screamed he looked at me and smirked not having a clue how I was.

Now

"My daughter how do you know young Mister Malfoy?" her father asked her, she wanted to scream and yell about the git that she would be forced to marry but knew that it wouldn't accomplish anything. 'I know Malfoy from school, you know that nice, sweet person that everyone loves while young Mister Malfoy is exactly the opposite!' but that would not be a successful answer.

"Father we go to school together," she said trying to keep an emotionless face, like Malfoy always wore around school.

"My Lord my I speak freely to your gorgeous daughter?" Draco asked his head still bowed.

"Such manner he has Lucius, I believe that he will make a wonderful successor. Yes boy you may, and pick up your head!" Malfoy's head shot up and for once his eyes showed some time of emotion what was it? Lust? Pity? Thankfulness? She could not decide.

"My Lady I don't believe that I know you, I mean such a goddess like yourself would stick out like a sore thumb at Hogwarts, between the horrendous teenage problems and the muggle-borns, and mudbloods," Draco was complementing her, now how often did that happen?

"I believe that you did know me, in fact we had at least a class or two together since first year," Hermione smiled seductively.

"Lucius I believe that we should leave the children-" but he was cut off.

"Father, I do not wish to be classified as a mere child. I hold as much power as you do, if not more. And if, " she thought for a moment. "If I need to perform Avada Kedavra or a muggle to prove that I am not a child then I will do it. I also believe that Draco does not prefer to be called a child. Isn't that right?" She bit her bottom lip hoping that he would agree, and then it hit her. 'I said that I would perform Avada Kedavra on a muggle no less! What is happening to me?'

"Young Mister Malfoy is your option the same as my daughter's?" The Dark Lord asked.

"My Lord I do believe that she has a point but, I shall be called mud if that is what you want to call me."

"No spine Lucius, no spine at all," He said in a whisper though Draco heard it.

"No spine huh? Do you wish to see spine?" Draco glared at the Lord; he got a glare in return, so he continued. "I hate being considered a child, a child is an innocent child, and I have seen too much to be innocent! I hate that even the teacher talk down to me! So My Lord I do NOT wish to be called a child!" Draco bellowed.

"My Lord he does not know what he speaks, please grant forgiveness. He didn't-" Lucius stopped when Voldemort held he wand to his throat.

"Now I see where his lack of spine comes from, Cruico!" With that Lucius fell to the floor twitching. "Draco, I would prefer if," Malfoy swallowed loudly. "You spoke that why more often. Now both you and Adrian go to the library while I-" he thought for a moment. "-Speak with your father." He glared at the couple in front of him. "Maybe you could go and teach Adrian a few Dark spells and she could perhaps tell you about her life, since on August 12th I want an heir by no later than two years, understood?"

"Yes father," Adrian said spitefully, 'except there will be no wedding I refuse to marry that ferret!'

"Yes My Lord." Draco said then grabbed Hermione's hand and led her to the library. "So," Draco started after they left the room and he had released her hand. "What house are you in?"

"Not yours," Hermione seethed.

"Then which house?" Draco tried, knowing that if she could perform an Avada he should hold his tongue.

"You guess," she smirked.

"Well your aren't in Hufflepuff because Hufflepuff had no classes with the Slytherins. So you must be in Ravenclaw," he deducted as we led her though a camber that was lined in black carpet and deep green walls. The house lighting came from a chandler hang about midway down the chamber; Hermione looked at the ceiling and noticed that it was bewitched like the Great Hall at Hogwarts.

"And why couldn't I be in Gryfindor?" Adrian asked catching him total off guard.

"Well, barely any purebloods are in that house except for the weasel, the weaselette, and I few other. Plus no one evil has ever came out of Gryfindor."

"And who says that I'm evil?" She asked completely appalled by his last statement.

"You're the Dark Lord's heir, his only child, not to mention that you haven't surfaced since you were nine! Then you openly stated that you would perform the killing curse in order to prove your point I mean doesn't that sound evil?" Draco smirked. 'I am right and she knows it.' "Face it love, I know you and I know that you are evil."

"Draco Malfoy! You do not know me! Not at all! I am not evil! I am a pure hearted Gryfindor! You don't even no my name! And the whole killing curse thing was an empty statement!"

"Fine then tell me about yourself! Tell me where you've been since you were nine, how you lived, where, and your name. Let me get to know you for Merlin's sake!" 'There it was again that flicker of expression in his eyes. But was it? Pleading?'

"Fine," Hermione said but stopped when Draco pulled open the door to the library. The high arched ceilings were done the same way as the chamber, the flooring was of black marble with sliver swirls in it and the walls were done in sliver that matched the floor. The windows were draped in black satin the fell to the floor, and the bottom of the curtains had a sliver serpent designed in it and was moving like the wizard paintings. Draco led her to the middle-back portion of the room and motioned for her to sit in one of the black squashy armchairs. They were sitting in front of the fire, which was a cool sliver color giving off wisps of sliver vapor.

"So your in Gryfindor?"

"Yes."

"Where have you been the last eight years?"

"My mother placed me with two deatheaters, a husband and wife, before she died."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did she place you with two deatheaters?"

"Oh, for my safety and when my father came back to power they would give me back."

"Then why weren't you given back in first year?"

"They wanted a child, but because I was the child I was raised muggle, so they didn't wan to give me back because I was there key to peaceful lives."

"Oh, so you were raised muggle?"

"Yes."

"What's your name because I think I should have known you, I slightly tease the mudbloods."

"Slightly," she took a deep breath, "Ferret?"

"Wh-what?" He asked looking if possible paler.

"I said 'slightly ferret.' Ferret being short for Malfoy the amazing bouncing ferret."

"Only a few people call me that, Potty, Weasel, Toad-boy, Weaselette, and Mud-" He stopped.

"Hi my name is Muddy," she mocked.

"You what? V-V-Voldemort's daughter? I should have known! Oh Merlin I have to marry Granger!"

"You know my name isn't Granger anymore, it's Riddle you git, and don't tempt me to 'Cruico' you, because I will. No I mean, shit! It's like I'm getting evil and I can't tell right from wrong, and Draco…" She stopped and started sobbing, tears feel from her eyes like rain during a hurricane. Draco without realizing that she was Granger pulled her into an embrace and let her just cry.
