"The Future Has a Past"

Ch. 2
+A Week Later+
Lucius held out his caneless hand to the tall dark-haired wizard who stood before him, "Henry, nice to see you again."
Henry gave him a strong handshake and a smile, "You too, Lucius, you too."
Lily hugged Mrs. Granger and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, "Abagail what a pleasure."
Abagail Granger smiled at the woman who had to be ten years younger than she, "The pleasure is all ours."
Lucius and Lily both turned their attention from the aging couple as a young brown haired girl entered their home with a smile, "Mr. & Mrs. Malfoy what a honor it is to be here."
"Hermione, how you've grown, oh you are so pretty too," Lily gushed hugging the girl like she was a relative or something.
Lily let the girl go and Hermione walked up Lucius waiting for his sign of approval, so far his face showed nothing, until he kissed her hand, "I think the honor is upon the Malfoy family for hosting your visit."
Lily smiled happily ushering them all out to the foyer, "The elves will take your bags to your room, please come into the Parlor and relax before the Weasely's arrive."
Hermione was silent as her parents followed Lily and stood in front of the stairs, Lucius watched the young girl with great interest then spoke softly, "I will give your excuses, up the stairs, to your right, third room to your left, after the second short flight of stairs."
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy," Hermione smiled as she ran up the stairs repeating the directions softly.
Lucius did not reply, but mentally decided not to go 'Wife Hunting' the next day.
Just as Hermione ascended the second flight of stairs she ran into her target and squealed, "Harry!"
"Hermione," Harry smiled pulling her into a tight hug, forcing her to wrap one arm around him and the other to reach up and keep her hat in place.
"Give her room to breathe brother," Draco drawled walking toward the pair, noticing that she looked better in person than the picture he saw.
"She can breathe! Can't you Hermione?" Harry asked grinning happily, as the girl smoothed her gray robes.
Hermione looked up, making eye contact with the blond who saved her from death, "Barely, I'm Hermione Granger."
Draco smirked kissing her hand, just as his father had done, "Yes, I know, I'm Draco Malfoy, Harry's brother."
"I'm so pleased to meet you," she replied in a genteel tone, as he stared at her.
"I assure you that the pleasure is all mine. You know pictures do nothing for you," he replied still holding her hand, he noticed its softness, it had a real feel to it, not like Pansy's, which felt like it was a pillow.
Hermione blushed quickly under his gaze and found her escape making its way down the hall, "Bianco!"
"Hermione," Bianco grinned as the two hugged.
"How are you?" Hermione asked backing up so she could look at the budding Malfoy flower.
"Fine, fine, just gearing up for my seventeenth birthday," Bianco grinned as the two linked arms and proceeded toward the boys.
"Shall we join our parents?" Harry asked holding his arm out to Hermione.
"Yes, we should," Bianco said quickly taking her brother's arm, leading him down the stairs ignoring his cries of disagreement.
"Shall we?" Draco asked smirking as he linked his arm through Hermione's.
"Lead the way Master Malfoy," she smiled in return.

The Weasely's had arrived not long after they joined their parents. Now the teenagers were all in the West Wing Parlor watching Draco and Ron play Chess. Harry was lounging next to Hermione who was listening to Bianco and Ginny ramble on about the young men they had met at school.
"He has the most beautiful curly hair," Ginny said making Harry turn to look at her, he may have been laying against Hermione but he wasn't paying attention to the girls.
"Whom does Ginny?" he asked making eye contact with the pretty red-haired girl who had caught the eye of several of his classmates.
Ginny smiled up into the face of the young man, she had a crush on for years, not noticing the scared face of her best friend, "Bianco's ex-boyfriend."
"What ex-boyfriend? You're too young to be dating," Harry yelled sitting up catching the attention of Bianco's other older brother.
"Did you say ex boyfriend Ginny?" Draco asked looking from the game in which he was losing against Ron.
"God, I'm sorry Bianco, it slipped," Ginny apologized softly as the angry faces of Bianco's brothers turned toward them.
Bianco was about to say something when the only quiet female in the room decided to speak, "Harry, Draco, stop that, she's sixteen years old. It's OK for her to have boyfriends."
"Not my little sister Hermione," Harry replied intending to turn his attention back to his sister.
"Ron," Hermione called before Draco or Harry could interrogate the girl.
"What?" Ron asked, for the first time looking away from the game.
"Do you allow Ginny to date?" Hermione asked making the other two boys turn to their friend.
"It's according to who the Bloke is, like that Finnagin boy wanted to date her last year but I didn't like him at the time so it didn't happen. However, as long as he is OK, I'm OK," Ron replied finally turning all his attention to his friends.
Ginny looked at Ron with a glare, "Ron doesn't ALLOW me to do anything! I am a lady and I make my own decisions, the reason I didn't date Finnagin was that he had just broken up with my dear friend Lucille O'Day."
"Who cares about Finnagin and O'Day? This is about my sister kissing some hairy, smelly, bloke who is out to ruin her," Draco replied loudly, ignoring the chuckles coming from Ron.
"Who said anything about kissing? Bianco have you kissed him?" Harry asked his eyes wide.
Bianco stayed quiet then brought her blue-green eyes toward her brothers, "You two are idiots."
"What?" they asked in unison both looking equally confused, while Ron laughed his head off.
Hermione looked between the smirking Ginny, the laughing Ron, the glaring yet arrogant Bianco, and the confused brothers and came to a resolution, "I'm guessing the answer must be common knowledge at Hogwarts. The whole school must know, well, everyone except you two."
Harry glared at his younger sister, "I bet father doesn't know either."
Bianco's eyes widened, "Harry!"
"I bet mother knows though," Draco replied scowling at the thought.
"Why are boys so darned overprotective? I can't handle a husband who is determined to Overprotect me. I think I shall live in the Granger Manor until my parents die and just be alone," Hermione said, a sneer spreading over her delicate features.
"Hermione," Harry whispered, at the sting of her socially insulting words.
Draco chuckled under his breath, "If you do that, I fear I, and every other bachelor, shall die and just be alone."
Five heads turned to look at the smiling blond who was now walking toward the three girls and Harry.
"Draco," Bianco whispered, smiling, she had heard the utterly convincing tone of his voice.
Hermione smiled, glad someone wasn't so damn uptight, "Then, I think I shall change my plans."
Harry looked between his friend and his brother with his eyebrow raising, he had a strange feeling. He exchanged looks with Ron when Draco held his arm out to Hermione, "Then we should take a walk to the kitchens."
"Oh, do you have cookies?" she asked taking his arm as she stood up.
"Of course, the scandal if the Malfoy Manor had no cookies! Oh, the horror," Draco drawled sarcastically in such a way that even his sister was surprised.
They left the four exactly like that, staring at their backs wondering what was going on.
Draco led a laughing Hermione out of the room, "You got a real kick out of that huh?"
"It's just something about disturbing Harry that always makes me laugh," Hermione grinned as her giggles subsided.
"So how do you like the Manor and the family?" Draco asked, leading her down the hall away from the Parlor and toward the stairs that lead to the Foyer in the front of the Manor.
"I love the Manor. It's huge! I thought our house with 16 bedrooms was huge but this is gigantic how many rooms does it have?" she asked looking around the Malfoy's lining the wall.
"Um I believe there are 25 in the North Wing, 25 in the South Wing, 25 in the East Wing, and 25 in the West Wing. All in all there are 100 bedrooms here," Draco replied, counting to himself.
"That doesn't include libraries, Parlors, Kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, etc. Correct?" she asked as they began their descent down the spiral stairs.
"Correct, Mother & Bianco have turned several rooms into Wardrobe chambers," Draco answered, holding her arm closer as they reached the foyer.
"Mother only allows me the bedroom next to mine for Wardrobe, but it's more than enough," Hermione said, looking up at the handsome escort that she had on her arm.
He was different from Harry, he had a spark of something that Harry could only fabricate. Something that she had yet to pinpoint exactly but she was thrown out of her thoughts by his voice.
"You never answered my other question," he pointed out as she stepped off the last step.
"What?" she asked, as he lead her away from the room her parents were most likely in.
"How do you like the family?" Draco stopping to look her straight in the eye, noticing how the silver robes did something to her skin. They made it glow.
Hermione's lips slowly turned up into a smile, "I love the family."
"Are we what you expected?" he smirked, as they fell into step again.
"More," she replied as they reached the long Hallway to the kitchens.

Lucius Malfoy sat in his favorite outdoor chair looking at the dark-haired wizard before him, who was next to the red-haired Minister of Magic, "I regret to inform you but this year Gringotts has been at the bottom of the market. Many fear it'll be our first recession since the Dark Ages."
Arthur Weasely thought on that comment before answering, "Gringotts has had a hard year you know. Will all the Goblin murders, revolts, riots and such. I do not doubt that it will affect our economy soon but I doubt it will be as drastic as the recession in the Dark Ages."
Henry Granger nodded in agreement, yet he had his own opinion since the Granger's were more wealthy than the Malfoy's & Weasely's combined, "Abagail & Hermione often says that I am wrong for not bracing for the worst. Hermione believes that all the anarchy that has engulfed the Goblin world will affect us sooner or later, she says sooner. Abagail believes there will be a Dark Ages recession, maybe worse. I agree with you Arthur, though my daughter's words are usually the closest to correct."
"Hermione is a very talented young witch, I must say," Lucius drawls, a glint in his eye.
"Yes, yes, the kind every patriarch would love to see added to his family tree," Arthur replied, adding to Lucius' suspicions about him wanting her for one of his horrid sons. It sent a grimace down Lucius' spine; He couldn't see Hermione with anyone other than one of his sons.
Henry grinned at the two, proud his daughter could make two old patriarchs fight over her, "Yes, she has had plenty of offers. Even to marry one of the Parkinson's cousins, of course, she refused. Just last year the Crabbe's & Goyle's made an offer within a week of each other."
Lucius' eyes widened in surprise, and in obvious disgust, "She refused of course?"
"I refused for her, and I don't believe she even knew they offered!" Henry laughed heartily.
"I thought the parents had no say in whom their daughters marry? I know we don't when it comes to sons," Arthur asked, only knowing that he had no choice in his son's mates, especially since he had married off his three oldest sons.
"No, that is only in the case of marrying off a son. When comes to our daughters we may refuse for them. Thankfully," Henry replied taking a sip of his Brandy.
"Oh yes, I see why Lily has yet to inform me that I had a choice about my daughter's mate," Lucius replied, taking a well bred sip from his small glass of the best wine.
"Oh, Lily has started Bianco's courting years?" Arthur asked, being reminded of his own wife's attempts to find her daughter someone suitable for Ginny.
"Yes, her SPP is coming up in the winter and Lily is driving us all crazy," Lucius replied with a groan, one which common society would never ever hear.
"I'm sure Lily is just excited, Hermione's was actually quite fun," Henry replied smiling at his forlorn friend, who acted as if he didn't believe him.
"Ginny's is to be this coming spring and you would think it's next week with the way Molly is panicking," Arthur replied with a groan much like Lucius' but much, much louder.
Henry laughed at both his friends this time, "Look, I promise once that night gets here you will both be so proud & shocked. Your little girl will be a little lady and every man on this side of the Atlantic will want her hand."
"No need to make hasty agreements. Correct Henry?" Lucius asked, taking another sip of his wine.
"Correct, the Zabini's made a hasty agreement with a King for Blaise. Nevertheless, come to find out, she would be his sixth wife and there is no way to get out of it," Henry replied shaking his head, glad his wife hadn't selected that King for his daughter.
"Oh, let us change the subject. What do you and Mrs. Granger plan to do after Hermione is married or off at University?" Arthur asked looking over his friend with extreme interest.
"Abagail and I are thinking of having a second child. You know wizards can procreate until we reach 100 or so. Abagail & I are no where close," Henry replied, a smile on his face, he loved having children, especially with Abagail.
"I always wondered why more children never came from you and Abby," Arthur said, sipping from his cup of coffee, which he could drink all day.
"Little Hermione was a handful from day one, we knew she was special and we were going to have to wait until she was of age," Henry replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Lucius stared down at his deep red wine, "I wanted to talk to Lily about that."
"What? Having more kids," Henry asked, as his friend did something that he never did publicly. He showed that he was nervous.
"Yea, she's only had two. I think this house is more than enough for more children, because once those three are gone its going to be very lonely," Lucius replied, his expression turning to stone again.
"Yes, well, Molly & I, will more than likely be taking care of grandchildren," Arthur replied proudly, his chest stuck out like a proud peacock displaying his feathers.
"That would be nice," Henry replied nodding his head, he had always wanted a house full of children like the Weasely's.
"Yes, that does sound nice. To be able to relax in your old age, but I don't feel old yet. We had those three almost simultaneously so we never spoke about having more children," Lucius said, finishing off his wine as Draco & Hermione walked out of the kitchen's French doors.
"Father, Mr. Malfoy, Minister Weasely," Hermione smiled as Draco lead her over to the three grown men.
"Father, Mr. Granger, Minister Weasely," Draco nodded, his expression hard yet soft in it's own way.
"What are you two doing out here?" Lucius asked, looking at the two, standing together like a nobleman and his lady.
"Just taking a walk, we had a little snack in the kitchens a moment ago," Draco replied, pulling Hermione's arm closer to him.
"Then off you go," Henry Granger smiled, watching as the young man smiled at his daughter as he led her toward the gardens.
"They make a stunning couple," Lucius whispered to Henry as their children talked to each other animatedly.
"You are right Lucius. Should we take interest on a possible relationship?" Henry asked as Arthur welcomed their wives, opening the doors for them.
"I thought she was Harry's friend?" Lucius asked smiling at the ladies.
"They are just friends, what do you say old friend?" Henry replied through almost closed lips as his wife sat next to him.
"I say we should look into it," Lucius smiled, giving Henry a firm handshake.
"Ah, Lucius, you wouldn't believe it but Abagail is pregnant!" Lily whispered, into Lucius ear as she next to him.
Abagail smiled as her husband kissed her hand lovingly, "What a lovely day it is."
"It is, it is," Molly Weasely grinned back at the chestnut haired woman.
"He said they were only trying," Lucius whispered back to his wife, as the house-elf poured the ladies some tea.
"Well, they aren't anymore. They have one on the way. Abagail is going to tell him tonight," Lily replied softly, trying to keep her excitement to herself.
"Would you like another?" Lucius asked softly, holding onto his beautiful wife's hand.
"Another what?" Lily whispered as Arthur Weasely spoke to her, "Hogwarts is proving to be the only stock that is worth anything this year. Isn't that right Lucius darling?"
"Children," Lucius whispered before answering her question. "That's right dearest, it was only yesterday that I gained 20 million Galleons just from Hogwarts."
"I heard you two put some stock into that new book that Henry's cousin is writing, much like our ancestor whose book had every word ever spoken until that moment. Now Samuel, is adding to that book, and it's going to be in several different languages," Abagail said watching the two whisper to each other.
"Yes, we think it's a good investment. The whole Wizarding world is excited about another brilliant Granger book. Publishers' are fighting over the publishing rights," Lily replied, trying to register what her husband had just said to her.
"Children? What will the children think?" Lily whispered to her husband as Molly inquired more about the book.
"Harry will be thrilled, Bianco will be semi-excited, and we will make Draco get over his shock. All in all they will be just as enthusiastic as I am, darling," Lucius whispering, nodding in agreement to something Arthur said.
"As you always say, 'The more Malfoy's the better, '" Lily grinned squeezing his hand under the table.

Harry laughed at his sister's expression, she was desperately trying to beat Ron at Wizard's Chess and was not going to give up. She had a passion for the game just as she did Quidditch.
"You think she will win?" Ginny asked, looking up at the boy she had, had a crush on since the moment she laid eyes on him.
"Oh, in a couple of games or so," Harry replied looking over at the red-haired girl for whom a couple of his friends had a thing.
"Harry where do you think Hermione & Draco went?" Bianco called from her place in front of Ron.
"To rid the Manor of cookies, where else?" Ginny laughed meeting a wink from her best friend.
Harry watched as the two girls laughed, not giggled like little school girls, but laughed. He hadn't noticed the apparent change of his little sister from six to sixteen, or in her best friend. Until this moment, it was almost as if he missed the past ten years for them. He couldn't remember when they went from being obnoxiously cute to stunningly beautiful.
"Virginia Weasely," Harry whispered, looking down into her bright blue eyes that were set off perfectly by her deep red-hair.
"What?" she asked, as a flush ran up her cheeks.
"Why didn't you tell me you grew up?" Harry asked, charmingly, not knowing he was making this the happiest day of her life.
"I thought you already noticed," Ginny replied, smiling like her mother had taught her. It was a different smile, a smile that most men had found irresistible, and Harry was proving to be the same.
"I don't know how I could have missed it," he replied reaching over to tuck a piece of perfectly straight hair behind her ear.
Ron's loud voice brought their attention back to them, "Harry stop flirting with my sister."
Bianco smirked at her best friend, not noticing the blush that ran up her oldest brother's cheeks. She looked back at Ron, "King to A6."
"Dang!" Ron yelled as her King killed his king, he had lost his first game at the Malfoy Manor.
Bianco smiled at him, innocently, "Now where are my two galleons?"
"In my pocket, you are the first girl to beat me. Congratulations Miss Gryffindor-Malfoy," Ron laughed handing her, he money.
"Yes, yes, the first Gryffindor Malfoy should be smarter & more intelligent than the Slytherin Malfoys," Bianco laughed, taking the money from Ron, not noticing the two galleons exchanged between Ginny & Harry.

*Crystalline Lily* - If you have read any of my other things you'd see I have this UNHEALTHY *LOL* obsession with Lucius. So I really wanted to show another side of him and do something no one had ever done before. People have done the affair L/L and the Harry is Lucius' son but no one has ever done one where Lucius & Lily actually have a Happy Ever after ending.
*TeNk* - Thanks for the review and the compliments BUT I can't make it D/G because I'm a diehard Hr/D fan and D/G just doesn't sit right with me but I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the pairing. SO I'm soooooo sorry! Please, please, please, keep reading! Please I'm begging you! *on one knee*
