(A/N: Chapter 2 of Daughter of Mine! Thank you to all my reviewers I love you thanks for encouraging me to write this new chapter! Being my crazy little self I may make this story a HG/TR fic because...well I am in total love with the idea of that pairing! Any way here's the next chapter and tell me what you think of an HG/TR pairing because if enough people protest I may just do a different pairing -HP/HG or HG/RW- but those pairings are so common and I want to do something more...unique. Any way enough of my babbling here's chapter 2!)

Disclaimer-bla bla bla you know the drill

*Chapter 2-Hermione meets Harmony*

Hermione rushed down stairs towards her parents voices. Today was the 2 weeks before her 17th birthday and three weeks before she headed to Hogwarts as Head Girl for her 7th and final year at Hogwarts. Hermione walked into the dining room and saw her mother and father talking with a very pretty woman who Hermione knew immediately was a witch. She was wearing long expensive royal blue robes and a black velvet cloak. She looked like one of the Slytherin society ladies Hermione had seen walking arrogantly around Diagon Alley, but this woman seemed much kinder much softer, but by the spark in her eyes and the slight elevation of her chin and the air of dignity she radiated you could tell that she was indeed a high society lady. Hermiones parents stopped talking and turned to their daughter and smiled gently.

"Hermione...there is something we need to tell you..." Hermiones brow furrowed and she sat down carefully looking at her father concern in her eyes.

"What is it?" Hermione said glancing at the stranger. The strangers long brown curly hair was tied back in simple yet elegant braids, her pale skin was unflawed, and her honey eyes were full of understanding and sorrow.

"Hermione...you're adopted." Hermione felt her had fly up to her mouth to hold back a gasp of shock. She felt herself nearly fainting.

"W-w-what? I-I-I'm adopted?" Hermione stuttered in surprise, adopted? She had never suspected. Well now that she thought of it she began to slowly realize how her 'parents' had just glanced at each other in total surprise when they discovered she was a witch and how they had whispered. Not to mention the fact that Hermione looked nothing like either of her 'parents'

"Yes Hermione you're adopted...this is your real mother." Hermiones 'mother' said motioning towards the witch who was looking at her with concern on her beautiful features.

"I'm Harmony M-DeBeau." The woman said calmly extending her hand Hermione stared at the woman in surprise. The name seemed very familiar. Hermione stared at the womans tiny out stretched hand. Did she suspect her just to welcome her with open arms? No. Hermione decided as she shook the woman's hand. That's why she had not attempted to embrace Hermione. The woman was intelligent and Hermione realized how much she resembled the woman. Hermiones 'parents' stood.

"We're going on vacation to Egypt for the next few months...we think it would be a good thing for you to get to know your birth mother." Hermione nodded and stood shakily.

"I'll go pack..." Hermione said standing and walking to her room and packed her trunk still in slight shock. Adopted? What would she tell Harry and Ron? Hermione grinned if the woman was as she suspected a high society lady; she was most likely a pureblooded witch, which would certainly send Malfoy into shock. Hermione walked down stairs dragging her trunk behind her, Harmony DeBeau saw her and motioned for her to follow.

"We'll be going to my country estate." Harmony said regarding her daughter with a small smile that Hermione returned, although she was slightly hesitant. The woman was very beautiful and had a certain air of strength around her. Harmony withdrew a tiny glass eagle out of her robes and extended it towards Hermione, "This is the porteky that will take you into the entrance hall." Hermione gripped her trunk and took a hold of the porteky and felt the familiar tugging sensation. When she landed she was stunned at the beauty of the place she was in. It had the appearance of an old Victorian age manor. With a faint pop Harmony appeared at Hermiones side.

"It's beautiful. . ." Hermione said

"Yes it is, it's the favorite of all my estates. . .Noddy will show you to your rooms if you need me I will be in the library on the far right corner over there." Hermiones eyes lit up at the mention of a library. Hermione followed a tiny house elf that was wearing a royal blue tea towel draped over its body like a toga. She followed it up the stairs her fingers gently brushing the polished wood of a cabinet. The tiny house elf opened double doors and Hermione gasped. The room was absolutely beautiful. A room fit for a princess. A large four poster bed with royal blue velvet curtains (LOL Harmony seems to like royal blue) Hermione fingered the curtains to the window which had gold trim. Hermione ran her fingers across the gleaming surface of her desk.

"Are these rooms pleasing to you miss?" The house elf squeaked

"Yes, they're amazing. . ." Hermione said sitting down on the bed enjoying the feel of the silk sheets. Hermione explored her rooms for some time. She had her own private sitting room as well; she spent a few moments sitting in the armchair by the fire. This was all so much. She felt like a queen. Deciding it was time to find Harmony so that she could ask to borrow an owl to send Ron and Harry a letter. Hermione walked through the halls until she found the library. Hermione was about to open the door when she heard voices. She began to turn around when she caught something that shocked her slightly.

"No Lucius for the thousandth time this year." Came Harmony's voice, she sounded exasperated and annoyed.

"Harmony please listen to me-" Came the calm drawling voice of Lucius Malfoy, but it did not sound calm, in fact it sounded pleading. *Lucius Malfoy, right hand man of the Dark Lord and role model for all bastards and prats saying please? * Hermione thought

"Lucius. . .please. . . I don't want to get into another fight with you over this." Harmony sounded sad as if she were on the verge of tears. Hermione decided to walk in. When she entered Lucius snapped around and stared at her stunned.

"Hermione not now please." Harmony said panic rising in her voice Lucius looked at Harmony and then at Hermione again comprehension dawning on his featured.

"Damn you to hell Harmony." Lucius said shaking with rage and what appeared to be. . .hurt. *Whatever it is he probably deserves it.* Hermione thought angrily

"I'm sorry Lucius." Harmony said biting her lip

"We will continue this conversation later Harmony, I have a divorce to arrange, plans for our re-marriage, and rooms prepared." Lucius said Harmony opened her mouth to protest but Lucius Disapparrated immediately.

"Damn that man." Harmony said with a sigh

"Re-marriage?" Hermione said confused, Harmony shifted uncomftorablly from foot to foot.

"I was married to Lucius before, we had to get a divorce because his father believed that it would be pointless to have me around because he believed I couldn't have children." Harmony said a sigh escaping from her, "He's angry with me I know it, he'll probably be back here tonight and shout his head off at me."

"Rooms prepared?" Hermione asked

"For you I suppose, I'll have to move back in with him." Harmony said looking nervous

"Why!? Can't you fight him?" Harmony stared at her in shock.

"I just got to meet you again for the first time in 17 years Hermione I am not going to allow Lucius to steal custody from me."

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

(A/N: a brief switch to Lucius before I return to Hermione and Harmony)

Lucius Malfoy stormed into Narcissas' bedroom. Narcissa jumped and looked at him wide-eyed.

"Lucius? What-" She began when Lucius cut her off.

"Out. I want you and everything that belongs to you the hell out of my house by morning, I am giving you the town house in France, have your belongings transported there. If anything is left it will be destroyed." Lucius said calmly, Narcissa put a hand on her heart as though wounded.

"What? Why?" She choked out the two words

"I am ending this pathetic excuse for a marriage." Lucius said calmly

"What-" Lucius raised a hand sharply to silence her.

"I am re-marrying Harmony DeBeau, she will be moving back in with me. Do not speak Narcissa." Lucius snapped when Narcissa opened her mouth, "You will do as I say or I will throw you out with out a knut from my vaults." Narcissa closed her mouth her bottom lip trembling.

"Father-" Lucius raised a hand to silence his son his son who had just entered the room.

"Meet me in my study in twenty minutes Draco." Lucius said before sweeping out of the room and ordering the house elves to prepare a room in the family wing of the manor.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

(A/N: Back to Harmony and Hermione.)

"How would he be able to steal custody? I thought-" Harmony raised a hand.

"As you know, Lucius bribed his way out of Azkaban 2 years ago. He still holds an enormous influence with the ministry, it would be easy for him to gain all parental rights-"

"How can he get parental rights?" Hermione asked slowly, knowing that the answer could only be one thing but she wanted to hear it. Harmony bit her lip and let out a soft sigh.

"He's your father."

(A/N: HA HA HA I'm cutting you off, I'll make you wait for weeks and weeks for the next chapter. . .just kidding it should be up in a few days. Any way REVIEW!)
