A/N: Soooo sorry I haven't posted in a looonggg time! I started summer college classes, it's kicking my ass. (Pardon my french.) Hope you enjoy this chapter, it's a filler chapter. I have the plan planned out so I will be writing once I am done with this weeks exams! :)
Blaise and I walked into the Cauldron Cafe and saw Mum and Dad sitting at a table in the back. They wanted to take us to a nice restaurant in Wizarding Italy but Blaise and I both said that it would be best if we stayed closer to school. We walked up and they stood to greet us.
"It's so good to see you, dear." My father said as he kissed me on the cheek and gave me a hug.
"It's good to see you too, father." I gave my mother a kiss on the cheek and a hug before we all sat down and a waiter came up to our table. Mother got a salad, father got a steak, Blaise also got a steak, and I got a soup and salad.
"What is it you wanted to talk with us about?" I said before I took a sip of my water. My mother handed me an envelope.
"The reason that we had to give you up for adoption." I opened it and read it.
-Lord and Lady Leo Zabini.
It has come to my attention that a daughter has been born to the Zabini Family.
Since she is of purest of blood, born to the second most prominent pureblood
family, she is to be brought to our Dark Lord at once.
Failure to comply will result in the termination of the young child and punishment
to the remaining members of the Zabini Family.
Bring the infant to Malfoy Manor in Whiltshire for her to be brought to our Dark
Lord.
-Antonin Dolohov.
I looked up at both of my parents and then handed to letter to Blaise. He read it and then his facial expression turned sour.
"Why the bloody hell would they want her?" Mother gave him a stern look at his use of a curse word and then father answered.
"There are female purebloods, they are not extinct. But very few of the most prominent pureblood families have female offspring. So when you and your sister were born news spread rather quickly of her birth. You both were only a few months old when we received that letter from Dolohov. I went to my good friend Lucius and he and I came up with a plan to keep you safe." I shook my head and sat up straighter. The waiter brought us our food and we thanked him before I spoke.
"Wait...Uncle Lucius helped you?" He nodded and continued.
"He was the one to suggest that he go in my place to work while I got you out of the Wizarding world and to a muggle adoption agency. That way, if anyone suspected it was me, they could clearly see that I had gone to work. He and Cissa stood by us the entire time vouching for us when we had said that you had gone missing. Which wasn't too far of a stretch, there were rumors that some wanted to take you. But nothing was ever found and the investigation went nowhere." I nodded and ate some more of my soup.
"So, what exactly did they want me for?" My mother shifted uncomfortably in her seat and my father answered seeing her discomfort.
"Besides raising you as his own, the Dark Lord wanted someone to…" He paused and looked at his hands for a moment.
"...someone to carry on his bloodline. But he wanted it to be the purest female he could find." I literally lost my appetite. The thought of breeding with that….that...disgusting….half-blood! I pushed my food away from me and sat there with a look of disgust on my face. Blaise was seething.
"Good thing you were raised as a muggle. I mean seriously fucked up! Gross!" My mother gave him another stern look at his use of language. Again.
"I wish we had more time to discuss the matter of our family history more in depth, but we don't. I will send you some books to read and your brother can fill you in on some of it. How does that sound?" I smiled and nodded.
"That sounds good." We finished up our lunch, discussed the holidays and also school before we said goodbye to Mum and Dad and headed back to Hogwarts.
(SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM)
"Wow, so Old Moldy-pants wanted you to have his freaky, no nosed, bald, deformed babies?" Pansy said as she plopped down onto the large black leather sofa. She shuddered and then made a few gagging noises.
"That is horrifying to think about." I nodded in agreement and ate a couple pieces of chocolate.
"Remind me to thank my father the next time I see him. I will hug the man for saving you." We all looked at Draco with raised eyebrows. He and his father never ever hug.
"What? He saved her, there should only be one man whose children she bares. And it is not some pathetic, disgusting, mentally insane, half-bloods." Pansy smirked and then threw a pillow at him.
"And who is this man whose children she will bare?" He smirked, one of those devilishly handsome, smug smirks.
"You will find out, soon enough." I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"Do I even get a say in whose children I have?" Draco smiled at me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Always, my dearest, Ms. Zabini." I laughed and ate some more chocolates.
"So, did you guys tell your parents about Morwen?" Blaise and I both shook our heads.
"No way. If our parents found out that someone at school had it out for her they would drag Hermione out of Hogwarts and lock her up in Zabini Manor. They won't take any chances when it comes to her safety, even if it is some student at Hogwarts. Speaking of Morwen, I had an idea." Blaise said with a smirk. We all urged him to go on.
"Speaking with our parents today brought up some stuff that I remember reading about our family. There is a book in our library back home that talks all about the spells, potions, charms, curses, and hexes that people in the Zabini family created. I remember reading about one that might be able to help us find out exactly what that bitch is up to." We all smiled.
"Do tell." He smirked and shook his head.
"Not until I have the book. Till tomorrow, my dear friends and sister." He said with a smirk, a wink, and faux salute before heading up to his dormitory.
We walked into the Great Hall for breakfast and I noticed Morwen sitting next to Draco and Blaise, far from her usual possy. I sighed and took a seat next to Ginny before taking a drink of my pumpkin juice. She smiled at me and was about to say something when Dumbledore spoke.
"Can I have everyone's attention, please? Today is going to be a half day for those of you who half written consent from your parents. Let the feast begin!" Food appeared and we all dug in. I glanced over at Ronald, who was shoving food in his face like he usually did. His hatred for Blaise and Draco had subsided and he was now starting to like them, he would never admit it though. Harry was talking to him and making large hand gestures.
"Earth to Hermione?!" I looked over and Ginny had been talking to me.
"Sorry, what were you saying?" She laughed and rolled her eyes before speaking.
"Blaise said that your parents asked if you and he were going to spend the holidays at the Manor." I nodded and smiled.
"Blaise said that it would be good if he and I spent the holidays with them. Besides, the Malfoy's and Zabini's always spend part of the holidays together." She smiled, it was a dreamy smile as she looked over at my brother, 'The Italian Stallion'.
"Blaise asked you to come spend the holiday with us, didn't he?" She smiled and nodded before taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.
"Yeah, I still have to owl mum and dad. Would you be ok with it? Do you think your parents would mind?" I laughed and shook my head no. It's actually cute, the look of worry in her eyes.
"They won't mind, we have plenty of room at the manor. As for me, as long as you don't break my brothers heart I am fine with anything. Just no sex details, that's just gross he is my brother." She giggled and bounced up and down for a second before texting Blaise.
A/N: There will be more Blaise/Ginny and waaaaayy more Draco/Hermione in the next few chappies! Next up, Christmas Holidays at Zabini Manor! What do you think will happen?! :)
