I do not own any of the HP character JKR does. I do not have a Beta but I do have spell check, please be patient and kind with the misspellings I do try and pick them up but an odd few might slip through

Hermione POV
Blinking away the tears that threatened to escape I land softly in the hallway of Bradbury Manor. A house elf 'pops' in front of me.
"Master and Mistress is expecting young Mistress in Masters Study"
I nodded and walked down the hall to Grandfather's study. I knocked on the sturdy oak door and entered once permitted.

"Take a seat Hermione" I nodded and sat in the chair across from them.
"Some new information of your Husband has just come to light and we wish to know if it's true" Grandmother paused waiting for a reaction
I sat there patiently closing my mind off, if there was one thing I learnt during the war that would be to not give anything away whilst being questioned.

"We fear if this information is true we no longer want you to be married to Mr Malfoy for your own Safety."
"And what would this information be Grandmother?" I asked feeling a slight prod of intrusion in my mind.
"Using Legilimency without consent can be seen as a serious offense Grandfather"

I tore my eyes from my Grandmother to him.
"Is Draco a day walker Hermione, we want to know for your safety, nothing more, nothing less." Grandfather asked
"He is" I answered blatantly and calm

Grandfather took a piece of parchment from the drawer and pushed it across the table. I picked it up and read it.
"You can't possibly ask me to divorce Draco" My voice came out a pitch higher than expected.

"You have two choices Hermione, either you renounce your right as the next heir to the Bradbury name and fortune or you divorce Draco, I'm sure if you think about it logically you will come to a suitable outcome" Grandmother smiled and patted my hand

"Your right Grandmother." Grandmother smiled as I stood up
"I renounce any right to the Bradbury fortune and I am no longer the next heir to the Bradbury title"
If this was a muggle comical strip steam would have been coming from Grandfathers ears and Grandmother would have fainted with shock with birds flying in circles around her head.

I stood up and apparated to my room. Once there I gathered everything of my personal belongings including the Gringotts keys that were already under my name from my parents. Taking one last look around the bedroom that had become somewhat of a sanctuary to me over the last few years I let a silent tear slip down my face before I apparated to Hogwarts.

As soon as my feet touched solid ground I dropped my bag on the floor and stood silently not knowing a pair of arms pulled me close to the person.
"Are you ok my dear?" Narcissa asked
I looked up smiling blinking away the tears
"I am fine, I could really do with Draco right now but I know that won't happen" I sighed

"I have no family and no money left, all in the name of love. I can kind of see how hard it was for Romeo and Juliet" Narcissa smiled
"Ah Mr William Shakespeare" I nodded
"How do you know of Shakespeare?"
"Please … you don't really think he was a muggle do you?"
I laughed slightly
"I Should have guessed really"

Narcissa set me at my desk with a quil and piece of parchment
"Write to Draco before he goes insane and does something irrational, they have been asked to stay put until I hear anything from you"
I nodded and started my letter

Dear Draco,
I renounced any right to the Bradbury fortune and title this evening, if someone had told be three weeks ago that I would be doing this just for you I would think they had gone as bonkers as Trelawney but I have and I don't regret anything. I have no money, no title and no family. So all I am I give to you. Literally.

I could really do with you being here now, so hurry up and send your bear with your Mother next time. I hope you like the dragon. It was a gift from my muggle friend when she went to a zoo. I am not sure why they were selling Dragon teddy bears in a muggle zoo though.

School is going to be a nightmare without you at my side. If there is one thing that is going to be beneficial from you being away and that will be my alone time. Although I had come to love you interrupting ones alone time.

I really hope our time apart fly's by. People are already starting to question why you are not at school but Pansy and Blaise are being a real big help. Since I have no attachment to my Grandparents anymore I was wondering if there is any chance of agreeing to change the marriage contract. It's not that I don't want children, but two years, really? I am only thinking of our circumstances at this moment in time.

Anyway, I hope you have a … well I am not sure what to say about you hunting tonight. Just return safely, I am sure you will if your Father will be with you. You have the best with you surely? Malfoy's don't do anything but the best, oh that's what you keep droning on about.

I will write soon. I hope this letter reaches you.

All my love.
Hermione Malfoy

I attached the letter to the awaiting owl, giving it some treats Narcissa opened the window for it to fly to Draco.
"Draco will be ok you know" I nodded
"I know, Lucius is not that stupid to let Draco get hurt, Why would he want two very angry woman after him?" I smirked

Me and Narcissa sat in the living room with a cup of hot coca.
"I remember the first time I saw Lucius after I found out about him being a day walker, petrified I was. Our parents had left us alone and I was shaking, why would they leave me alone with Lucius?

But he took my hand in his own and sat down with me on the nearest sofa and we talked as if he was fully human. It took a while but I grew to trust him around me and the first time I cut my finger I panicked.

I shoved it in my mouth as if that was going to do anything. Lucius walked over to me pulling the finger out of my mouth still pouring with blood and he placed a plaster on my finger and then kissed the plaster.

From then on I knew there was nothing to be scared, yes he could have a slip up and attack me at any point and he still could now but my mother in law gave me the only piece of advice in our whole marriage, if he loves you he won't hurt you and its true, love conquers all."

"If that's true, because me and Draco knew each other before we married, will we be able to see each other a little earlier than originally planned?"

Narcissa shook her head
"Sorry Hermione, we are only thinking of your safety first, you're like the daughter to me and Lucius we could never have. We will protect you just as much if not more than we do with Draco"

"If the marriage contract between you and my Grandparents is void do I still get to go to college?" I asked

"I don't see why not Hermione, it will not be like we can allow you to live in Malfoy manor for a while, you may live in my personal little cottage just outside of London and if you wish Miss Parkinson may reside with you"

"But Pansy is marrying Ron Weasley, they will want their own place"
Narcissa smirked slightly
"I think with the right encouragement you would find the two of them would move in with you. They will need to be saving for a house of their own in the future and I cannot see there being room at the burrow for the two of them to have their own room."

"You make a good point, Narcissa could I tell you something, just between the two of us, like a secret?" Narcissa's eyes lit up
"Of course dear, it will stay between the two of us, unless I see fit it would need to be told to Lucius" I nodded

"I was reading on some history a few months back of the Bradbury family ancestors. I didn't say anything till now because I didn't think it would matter but what with Draco being a day walker and all, well anyway I looked at my Grandmothers birth results and she is not all human"

Narcissa's eyes lit up a little more and a smile tugged at her lips
"Well what would your Grandmother be?"
"She is an elf, which would make me ..."
"Quarter elf, it would make you quarter elf" Narcissa finished off for me amazed

"Yes well, I just thought it was right that you should know"
"And what of your Mother's side of the family?"
"I would have to have access to their ancestors information before I could even try to find out" Narcissa smiled and clapped her hands

"I will look in the Manor library when I have chance, if it isn't in there then I wouldn't have a clue where else to look, we have most pureblood ancestor's and their birth, death and DNA records"
"You would really look for me" Narcissa nodded
"Now off to bed with you young lady, I will clean up our plates" I nodded and kissed the older witch on the cheek before running up the stairs to my bedroom. I pulled back the covers and laid my head on the pillow.

"Hermione, Hermione wake up dear" I rubbed my eyes and blinked a few times
"Narcissa … what's the matter?"
"Draco was hunting and was shot by a slayer"
I shot off the bed and pulled a cloak on

"Is it safe for me to come?" I asked
"Draco is high on pain killers he won't know to attack you"
I nodded and held her arm for side apparition.

Landing softly in a dimly lit bedroom I scurried over to the bed. Lucius moved out of the way for me to get to Draco. I fell to the floor and put on of his hands in my own

"Her … Her … mione" I stroked the hair from his face
"What did you do silly" I smiled when he looked at me
"You don't smell appetizing one bit" Draco frowned
"I have a theory on that but I will tell you when you get your strength back"

I heard the door of the bedroom shut and when I glanced up I was alone with Draco.
"Are you scared Hermione?" I smiled
"I should be really, but I am not, your parents wouldn't let me be here if they thought there was any chance of me being your meal" I teased
"I'm too full for you to be my meal, I'm not even sure I could eat a full one of you" I smiled and stroked his cheek

"Has it been torture at school without me being there" I nodded
"It's being torture without you full stop my love"
"I'm tired, will you come lay with me" I frowned slightly
"Is that safe?" I asked
"Mother wouldn't have left you alone if it wasn't" I nodded and took my robe off, I pulled back the sheets and Draco pulled me close to him once I was in the bed.

"It's rather annoying in a way you don't smell yummy, at least I should be able to see you earlier than planned"
I snuggled down
"Do you think so? Your Mother said it wasn't a good idea when I suggested it earlier"
"Mother is just worried about you, now go to sleep I'm tired"
I smiled and closed my eyes feeling more content than in I have in a while.
