Lucius waited until he was sure that everyone in the house that sleeps was asleep before he looked at Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie. "I can tell you guys have some questions so go ahead and ask them. It is better for you to ask them now then when Hermione is around as when the war is brought up in front of her she tends to have flashbacks or spaces out. While Hermione may not be my daughter biologically she is my daughter in my heart. If I do not feel comfortable answering a question I will tell you so."

Edward nodded. "Harry mentioned something earlier called occluding. What exactly is that and how does one do it?"

Lucius chuckled lightly and smirked. "Occluding is where a witch or wizard can block one's mind from anyone reading it. Technically the practice of protecting ones mind is called Occlumency. A person can occlude by building up shields in their minds so that someone who practices Legilimency which allows a person to see the thoughts of whoever they are using it on. Severus, Harry, Draco, Hermione, and I are very good at Legilimency and use it quite frequently to make sure that people that are around us are not a threat to any of us but especially to Hermione. As for how one does Occlumency you would have to ask Severus because I do not know how to teach it."

Edward nodded again and sat back as Jasper asked "Can you go into detail about what happened to Hermione during the war?"

Lucius sighed but nodded. "The war was hard fought and there were many casualties on both sides. Hermione is the brightest witch of her age and probably of several other ages. When I first met her properly it was the summer after Voldemort came back. After seeing her and talking to her for a few minutes I decided right then and there I was on the wrong side of the war. I switched to the light side and made sure that Hermione was protected at all times. During the summers I would send someone I trusted to watch over her and follow her if she left her house at any time just to make sure that nothing would happen to her. During what should have been Hermione's and Harry's seventh year the two of them plus the youngest Weasley boy were hunting down Voldemort's horcruxes so that when the final battle came he could be killed and this time he would stay dead and have no way of coming back. Not even three weeks into the horcrux hunt Weasley upped and left them and never came back. Both Hermione and Harry were captured and brought to my Manor where it was discovered that they had Gryffindor's sword and Bellatrix tortured Hermione for information which Hermione never gave up no matter what Bellatrix did to her. When I first saw Hermione and Harry had been captured my heart broke. It took Severus, Narcissa, Draco, and I eighteen hours before we came up with a solid plan to get Hermione and Harry out of the Manor safely but we did it. Unfortunately by the time we were able to get them away Hermione had been tortured for fifteen of those eighteen hours. We all went to a house Severus had set up as a safe house and for a week we fought to save Hermione's life and managed to. During the final battle Hermione was a force to be reckoned with on the battle field. She took out Bellatrix, Rudolphus, McNair, Theo's father, and Pansy's father before she finally helped Harry end Voldemort's reign of terror. She was injured on the battlefield but ignored her injuries in favor of making sure she helped others. She saved Narcissa's, Draco's, Severus', Harry's, Remus', Tonks', Blaise's, Luna's, Neville's, Kingsley Shacklebolt who is now Minister of Magic, and even the youngest Weasley boy who actually came to the final battle before she ended up collapsing after the Auror's rounded up all of the Death Eaters that were still alive except for Dolohov who had escaped. When she came to and saw the youngest Weasley boy sitting by her bedside she flew off of it before any of us could stop her and hit him in the face and broke his nose. Everyone around could hear her yelling at him about leaving her and Harry when they needed him and if he had been with them then maybe they wouldn't have been caught. She just kept ranting and raving until Severus finally stepped in front of her and told her that he wasn't worth getting upset over. She let Severus lead her back to her bed and then ignored the youngest Weasley for the rest of her stay in the infirmary. About five days later it came out that Ronald was screwing two of Hermione's girl friends after he left her and Harry in during the horcrux hunt. Shortly after that Hermione and Harry both heard Ronald, Ginerva, and Molly talking about how they planned to use both of them to get the money and fame they thought they deserved. Molly was talking about dosing both Harry and Hermione with love potions and that is when both Harry and Hermione stepped out into view and let loose on them. Two days after that the Weasley boy gave an interview to Rita Skeeter and told her where Hermione was hiding out at and that is how Dolohov found her. In about six weeks time Hermione will have to go back to Wizarding Britain to make an appearance at the ball and at the press conference that Kingsley will be holding making sure that everyone knows that the youngest Weasley boy is a liar and that he is the reason Hermione was found and attacked by Dolohov."

Esme, Rosalie, and Alice were all sad about what happened to Hermione but before any of them could say anything Jasper said "I'll be going back with her. Harry is right when he said I would understand what Hermione has been through. I will make sure that the idiot boy doesn't get near her while she is there. I'm sure that Alice won't mind me tagging along."

Alice smiled and shook her head. "We'll all be going with them back to Britain but Edward and Jasper will be the ones by Hermione's side all evening beside Lucius, Severus, Harry, Draco, Theo, Blaise, Remus, and some other boy I'm not sure of who it is. I can't see beyond that though. It also looks like some of the pack will be going with us. I cannot see them like Luna can but I can tell that at least one pack member actually knows Hermione already."

Pansy who was sitting quietly and listening to what Lucius was saying frowned and then sat forward. "Is there a shape shifter named Sam Uley on the reservation?"

At that question all of the Cullen's looked at Pansy in surprise but it was Edward who said "Yes there is. He is the alpha of the pack."

Pansy nodded and smiled slightly. "Hermione knows Sam very well. She will be glad to know that she is close by so that she can see him again."

Edward frowned. "How does Hermione know Sam?"

Pansy chuckled. "She met him about three years ago when she had a vacation here. He struck up a conversation with her and since then they have kept in contact. I'm not exactly sure where she was vacationing at but I know that it wasn't here. She told me about how she helped him to understand that just because he could shift into a wolf it didn't mean that he was a freak or that there was something wrong with him. She made him understand that he was chosen to protect those who couldn't really protect themselves. She also explained to him about the different kind of magical creatures that were out there. I think that was the year after we covered vampires. I'm actually surprised that Hermione didn't remember that gold eyes meant animal drinking vampires instead of human drinking vampires because she explained it to Sam. She got him to understand that just because someone was a vampire didn't automatically make them the enemy. She told him that if he ever came across a gold eyed vampire then it was one who fed on animals and that the vampire should be respected for it's choice of food so to speak."

Carlise's eyes widened in shock at that and then he breathed out "So that is why he gets on his pack when they call us bloodsuckers. He doesn't like them calling us anything other than our names."

Pansy smiled and nodded. "That would be why. He really took to heart what Hermione told him the day they talked. Even when she was at Hogwarts he would write to her and send it by owl but he wouldn't send it if anyone was around as he didn't want to let her secret out. Hermione doesn't judge anyone by who or what they are she judges them by how they act and treat the people around them."

Lucius and Theo both nodded but it was Theo who said "Hermione is a very forgiving girl unless you hurt someone she cares about. Her and Harry both think about others more than they do themselves. It is why all of us tend to keep a close eye on them because we know that if we didn't they would probably get into more trouble than they already do."

Lucius chuckled at that. "Both of them are trouble magnets. Is there anything else you would like to know? We still have about three hours until the others wake up."

All of the Cullen's shook their heads but it was Carlisle who said "Not right now I don't think."

Lucius nodded again and then just made small talk to pass the time until the others woke up and until Hermione woke up.
