Well... I wasn't expecting this to be a part of this story, it just slipped into place. So it was a surprise for me too. This new twist to this story.
They had a frosty dinner at his parent's house on their last night together and Viktor made it clear he wasn't happy with his mother. Athena explained that Minerva didn't say anything at all. Hermione's details changed when they got married and she got registered as his mate. So that explains how Hogwarts knew about that little bit of information but that did not change the fact in his eyes, his mother had still mentioned Hermione's name. In the end, she conversed with Athena and Viktor his father. Giving her credit, Athena did try with her son, but he clearly wasn't having any of it. She knew how much Viktor valued his private life and privacy and now he has her he is extra protective of their lives.
She now stood in one of the little alcoves on Platform nine and three quarters wondering if the past month had been a dream, even though she knows it wasn't...
Not a dream love, this morning was very real.
VIKTOR! Hermione mentally hissed, trying not to blush as memories of this morning flooded back into her mind. Her husband groaned and she had a little triumph, it was his own darn fault. She decided to shrink her trunk and pick the now pocket-sized trunk up. Shiny black shoes stepped into her vision as she slowly looked up to see Draco fucking Malfoy and his family a guarded look in his eyes.
VEELA'S... her husband yelled in her head.
"Do you have to ruin my good mood Malfoy?" She asked him, annoyed, it was then she noticed his father there looking at her oddly, and his mother.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Do it, Lucius... do it now! I want to know if she is or isn't." Narcissa Malfoy begged her husband, seeing the poor girl's confusion! Lucius moved her hair aside with his cane's silver snaked head to see her mating mark, she covered it with her hand feeling exposed. Viktor growled in her head, and clearly out loud as his friends turned to stare at him in shock as anger took over their bond.
"Your husband isn't happy is he?" Lucius said taking off his black glove, keeping eye contact with the girl and taking hold of her hand, holding his other one out to Draco who produced a knife out of nowhere. Her eyes widened and she stood frozen, too shocked to move. Lucius moved their hands to slice both of their palms, she hissed in pain from the sting of the cut and then he brought their wounds together. Narcissa Malfoy performed some kind of magic, that at first did nothing and then all of a sudden glowed white around their hands.
Hermione felt too stunned and shocked at what was happening in front of her own eyes, as Narcissa pulled her into her arms and hugged her daughter tightly to her crying, whilst Lucius and Draco shielded them from wondering eyes and Lucius healed their palms.
What do I do Viktor? I don't understand...
They performed a familial spell that proves if you are blood-related or not love... you are her daughter. Whatever happens, we'll always have each other. The Malfoys are Veela and will know of my family being of Veela blood as well. Just know I love you, you are my wife and my mate nothing can change that. You are Hermione Krum no matter what love. They might want to change it to Hermione Malfoy-Krum though.
I'm so confused.
I know love, just roll with it.
"Let Hermione breathe Cissia. The spell has proven she's our lost twin, to Draco. The order clearly didn't cover their tracks very well or change her first name. I have been suspicious for a while, you see. Then I happened to notice your name change on our family tree this summer to Hermione Krum... you've not been an easy witch to find my dear. What I would like to know is how my fifteen-year-old daughter married an eighteen-year-old male. Even with our Veela blood running through our veins, yes you are a Veela I would have made you two wait until you were of age at least to mate and marry. He would have courted you before then." Hermione felt like she was going to faint.
"Nobody knows..." she whispered, "except for a handful of people! None of the Weasleys nor Harry knows, they don't know anything. My age changed when I used a time-turner approved by the board of governors, to fit in all the classes I wanted to learn, to prove myself in my second and third years. Viktor doesn't want me to use it anymore, in case something went wrong, now it's not just me in my life. My husband is very protective of me and values our privacy. It is also because of who he is. He deliberately left my name out of the announcement he made to the Daily Prophet and Bulgarian Prophet."
"I saw that," Draco said quietly. They locked eyes for the first time and something passed between them.
"How did you know Viktor is angry?" She asked Lucius feeling rather confused by this. He smirked and said.
"Your eyes changed from brown to blue. All mated Veelas have some kind of gift to protect their mates with, I can feel your mother's every emotion. I want whatever spell they placed on you changed to your true appearance. When you and Draco were born, you were both identical twins. I'm sure you wondered why Draco suddenly stopped with the name-calling directly at you. I told him I had my suspicions." He pulled her in for a hug and she crumble, unable to hold it all in as he held her.
"I've often wondered why the sorting hat debated about putting me in Slytherin." She whispered. Narcissa and Draco joined in, briefly and then the train bell rang indicating the last few moments.
"Stay close to your sister Draco, I will be arriving in the morning to claim Hermione as my daughter and demand they reverse or whatever spell they have placed on her." She could feel the anger in his voice.
"When will we meet the Krums?" Narcissa asked her.
"I'll Owl Viktor," she said allowing Narcissa to hug her, as she then dried her eyes after. Hermione didn't realise she was still crying. All she wanted is her husband.
The Malfoy's watched as their two children walk onto the train and Lucius held it together. His anger overrules the hurt and pain from missing his daughter, for the past fifteen years, something that has been particularly hard on his wife and mate. He knew of Todor Krum from working at the Ministry of Magic, in passing. He'd wondered where Hermione was during the planned attack at the World Cup having seen her arrive with the Weasleys, his suspicions have proved him right again.
Once the train was out of sight, they turned around and found the Weasleys still standing on the platform looking in the opposite direction. Lucius sneered at them as they walked past, deliberately knocking his arm into Arthur's roughly as they headed for the apparation point at the designated area, to go back home to Malfoy manor. He's not particularly happy his baby girl is taken from him so soon. The lad is lucky he's a Veela or else he doesn't think, he be able to control everything he's currently feeling.
"Should we have?" Narcissa asked him quietly.
"If they treat her badly for being a Malfoy, then I will remove her if Krum doesn't first. Any newly mated Veela is going to be protective of his or her mate. If he was feeling what she was when we approached her, then I wouldn't be surprised if I have to contact Todor at some point to find out where our daughter is."
"At least we know she's with a good family, Lucius!" His wife said, he kissed her lips, hugging his mate to him.
"That is one of the only reasons, I'm not totally angry with this situation. But I will be going to Hogwarts alone tomorrow morning to confront Dumbledore. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I want our daughter back."
Meanwhile...
"Hermione, I know this might all be a shock to you, and I know we can't erase everything that's been said and done. But you are my twin and would like to start from the beginning with you if you'd like to?" She was shocked Draco actually sounded a little bit nervous as they sat in an empty compartment they managed to find halfway up the train, and placed a silencing charm around it.
"None of us knew any of this at the time Draco, Ron's said more hurtful things than the stuff you used to say to me in the past, which was mostly all true." This surprised Draco.
"What has the Weasel said?" He asked her curiously.
"Well let's put it this way, Viktor and I both decided it would be best if I separated myself from Harry and Ron this year because he doesn't want me to be involved in the war at all, and well..." she closed her eyes and Draco watched his sister frown, her lips moved but no sound came out of them.
"Can we trust you Draco?" She suddenly asked him. And he felt like this is some kind of test.
"Yes! I've grown up keeping secrets Hermione, you know our family has a reputation of dark wizards. If this is some kind of test then I will pass it, I know how to keep my mouth shut." He told her, and she glanced at the door.
"Remember when Lucius said he saw my eyes flash from brown to blue?" She asked him and he nodded.
"All mated Veelas have some kind of gift, Viktor can see you right now, hear everything and feel everything I'm feeling. I think Lucius new that part... about feelings. It helps with the pain of being separated. But it doesn't take the loss away completely. He's not physically here with me, but mentally with me."
Sorry for another cliffhanger, I can't help it lol :) hope you've all had a good weekend.
