(A/N: lost the disc with this chapter on it so I had to type it all over
again. Anyway if I don't lose another disk the next chapter should be up
with in the week but I have finals so it could take a while. O yeah and
tell me what suggestions you have for a paring because if I don't hear
anything I will be forced to make this a HG/TR fic. Because I can not and
may I repeat can not write HG/HP or HG/RW...hey idea, how about Voldemorts
son? This is a big OC story huh? But it is rather brilliant if I do say
so myself)

Chapter 3- Knowledge of my father
"WHAT?!" Hermione squeaked, Harmony sighed.
"Yes he's your father, no doubts or questions about it." Harmony said Hermione collapsed in an arm chair.
"Lucius Malfoy? My God, what am I going to tell Harry and Ron? They'll hate me." Hermione said feeling the tears well up in her eyes, Lucius Malfoy. The man who had called her a mudblood, insulted her friends, and served the Dark Lord was her father. Hermione felt a wave of disgust towards herself. The man was absolutely repulsive, all the tortures and killings of muggles that he had done with pride. She bet if she hadn't been discovered as his daughter and a pure blood he would have gladly tortured her to death just for beating his son in a few classes. O God, Draco, her half brother. The biggest prat in the school was her half brother. It was all too much.
"They won't hate you Hermione." Harmony said sitting next to her daughter and placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, "we don't have a choice in whom our parents are, it's all decided by the fates. If they really are your friends they'll see that this does not change who you are as a person." Hermione looked at her mother.
"How could you ever...be...with someone like Lucius Malfoy, he's a death eater and a bastard." Hermione said, Harmony smiled softly.
"Death Eater yes, bastard? No he's a good man, if you're on his good side." she added with a fond smile, "When we went to school together he was this big 7th year, he was head boy and was dating the prettiest girl in the school, I was this 2nd year little Ravenclaw girl, on the Quidditch team and just becoming concerned with boys and such." She smiled reminiscently, "Even though I knew we were betrothed he seemed so untouchable...a man I could only dream of paying attention to me. Then he and I got into a fight when he insulted the Ravenclaw Quidditch team captain -who I idolized- I set his robes on fire." Hermione stared at her before laughing, "Yes amazes me still that I'm alive right now, anyway I got on his bad side, but of course the Ravenclaw Captain was rather impressed she let me try out for the seeker position and I got the position." Hermione now remembered where she had heard Harmony DeBeaus name before. Not only did Harry and Ron chatter about her constantly but also Viktor had told her about Harmony DeBeau and his voice had held utmost respect.
"You play for the Falmouth Falcons! My friends Harry and Ron basically worship the ground you walk on! Didn't you coach Viktor Krum during the world cup a few years back?" Harmony smiled and nodded.
"Yes, and I have Lucius to thank." Harmony laughed, "you shouldn't ever tell him that he didn't approve of his betrothed playing I doubt he'd approve anymore now. Anyway the second match of the season was Slytherin Vs. Ravenclaw and guess what position what Lucius played."
"Seeker." Harmony nodded
"So it was my first match and I was playing against an experienced seeker who also happened to hate me and was quite determined to kick my ass." Seeing the look on Hermiones face she laughed, "What you thought that just because I'm a wealthy and well bred lady I don't swear? No I probably swear more then any of the guys on the Quidditch team, and truly that's saying something." Harmony smiled before continuing her story, "anyway once the match started it was a blood bath, almost every foul possible was committed. Then it I saw the snitch...of course Lucius saw it also so we were racing towards it." Then Harmony sighed, "He broke two of my ribs," Hermione gasped but Harmony smiled, "I broke two of his ribs and his nose right before I caught the snitch." Hermione stared at her mother in shock.
"You hit him and you're still alive?" Hermione said slowly, even at 17 she expected that Lucius Malfoy would have tried and hex Harmony into oblivion.
"Yes, I feel I'm a walking miracle." Harmony said smiling, "while we were in the hospital wing we made peace. By breaking two of his ribs and his nose I earned his respect I suppose, although he did say if I did it again he'd throttle me."
"Did you ever do it again?" Hermione asked
"No, that was the only time we played against each other, I got injured severely before our match against Gryffindor so we lost, never got to play James Potter until 3rd year."
"You knew Harry's father?" Hermione whispered, Harmony nodded and went to a shelf and pulled out an old leather bound book and handed it to Hermione. Hermione looked at the cover her eyes widening 'Hogwarts Class of: 1976' she opened it carefully and stared at several signatures many well wishing and then Hermione saw four that really caught her eye:
*Harm,
It was an honor to get to play against you on the pitch, you were a great opponent and an even better friend. Now remember what I said when I caught you and Sirius snogging behind the green houses, 'remember the morning after potion' best of luck playing for the Falmouth Falcons you're certainly violent enough.
James Potter*
Hermione looked at Harmony who smiled as she read the passage.
"I had been dating Sirius, and I broke quite a few of James' bones while we played against each other." Harmony said, Hermione smiled briefly before continuing to read the next passage.
*Harm,
You're the best damn kisser in this whole bloody school, and trust me I would know. I'll miss you when you have to marry Malfoy, I hope you the best and if he gives you any problem send me an owl and I'll hex the son of a bitch into oblivion.
Sirius*
Hermione smiled sadly as she looked at Sirius' familiar hand writing, it sounded so much like the Sirius who she had known.
"I knew he wasn't guilty the whole time, I was depressed to hear of his death." Harmony said touching the passage with a sad smile. Hermione read the next passage.
*Harmony,
I wish you the best of luck you are such a brilliant friend. Now remember to never ever add bicorn horn to distilled moon rays. It causes quite the disaster in case you don't remember from potions. Then again you did do that on purpose just to screw up Snapes potion. Honestly Harmony you are so cruel! The poor guy has had a crush on you since 3rd year, you are to mean to him. Well not really...
Love, Lily*
Hermione stared at Harmony for a moment who was attempting to appear innocent.
"Snape had a crush on you?" Hermione said holding back laughter just barely.
"Yes." Harmony said shortly looking horribly embarrassed. Hermione sought for a note from Snape and found it.
*Harmony,
Have a good summer
Severus*
Hermione burst out laughing. It had to be Snape, short to the point of rudeness, the man really was predictable. She turned the pages and saw several pictures. She saw Harmony and Sirius sitting next to each other by the lake smiling and laughing. Above the photo was written 'Biggest Flirts' she saw a picture of Lily and James holding hands and smiling 'Cutest Couple' and then saw Harmony and James in their Quidditch uniforms sitting on the ground of the pitch their brooms on the ground 'Most Likely to Become Pro-Quidditch Stars'. Harmony smiled and took the book in her hands.
"If you like I could take you to where your friends are, Lucius won't be here until night." Hermione smiled.
"Thank you...I really appreciate it...mother." Hermione said, Harmony smiled.
"Lets go."

Draco walked cautiously into his fathers study. Lucius was sitting by the fire with a large brandy in his hand.
"You wanted to see me father?" Draco said slowly, Lucius looked at his son and nodded his head waving for his son to sit in the chair across from him.
"Yes I did Draco, have you ever heard of Harmony DeBeau?" Lucius asked.
"Yeah, of course I have she's one of the best seekers in the world, she trained Viktor Krum for the world cup, she plays for the Falmouth Falcons, she's 38, and very good looking." Draco pulled out his wand and summoned the latest issue of *Quidditch Monthly* (A/N: Draco can do magic because of the wards around the manor that allow underage magic) he handed it to his father. Lucius looked at the cover and saw Harmony DeBeau sitting on the grass on a Quidditch Pitch her broom at her feet she was smiling and was surrounded by her team mates. She was the only female and one of the men a good looking man around 35 or so with brown hair and baby blue eyes was trying to kiss her she just laughed and turned her cheek. Lucius read the headline *Falmouth Falcons, are they going to defeat the Montrose Magpies in the League Cup?* Lucius handed his son back the article.
"That is my former wife." Draco stared at his father in shock, "Who I will be remarrying."
"W-why?" Draco stuttered astonished that not only would he have a gorgeous step-mother but that she was also a brilliant Quidditch player.
"It turns out little Ms Harmony had my child." Draco almost gawked openly but regained his composure quickly.
"Who? What?" Draco shut his mouth realizing he was beginning to babble.
"She gave up our daughter up for adoption, MUGGLE adoption." Dracos eyes widened, even his own mother wouldn't have done that. (a/n: Draco does not like his mom because she's obsessed with herself so no real mother/son relationship)
"Why?" Draco asked
"Obviously she thought muggles would be better parents then she and I, or at least myself." Lucius stood and out of sheer rage and frustration threw the glass of brandy into the fire. Draco jumped eyes wide, he had never seen his father lose control before, and in all honestly only a fool wouldn't be afraid, and Draco was far from a fool.
"I don't-"
"Harmony and I are remarrying it is better that way, and this way I won't have to worry about trying to convince her to become my mistress." Lucius said with a brief smile.
"Who is my half-sister?" Draco asked, Lucius smirked.
"Hermione Granger."
(a/n: wait til next chapter for Dracos reaction, the chapter will come out faster with more reviews! And both Quidditch teams mentioned were taken directly from Quidditch through the Ages. REVIEW!)
