Chapter 3. The Veritaserum's Truth
Lucius Malfoy looked back at Hermione thoughtfully. His eyes sparkled in a strange way. He had stopped twirling her hair and was now just staring into her eyes.
Hermione could only sit and stare, 'Oh Merlin he's back, now what should I do?"
"Well Miss Granger I'm glad to see you've made your self at home during my absence. There are a few things I want to ask you about before I reveal my reasons for taking you, but first..."
Before she could respond he had pulled her to him and started kissing her. After a few seconds he pulled away, she protested his absence with a small moan. With a moan of his own he stated kissing her again, he nibbled in her bottom lip and she permitted him entrance. Again he pulled away, but before she could close her mouth he poured a potion down her throat. She had no choice but to swallow it. He let her go and walked back over to his chair. Once she had also sat back down, he explained.
"That, my dear, was Veritaserum as you probably already know, I gave it to you so you could only tell me the truth about the things I'm about to ask you. To start off with, what happened between you, Potter, and Weasley?"
Hermione tried not to talk, but she couldn't stop herself, "It all started when I came to the burrow a month before school started."
FLASHBACK
Hermione walked into the burrow with Mr. Weasley, he had picked her up at the train station.
"Harry, Ron where are you guys?"
"Hermione, Oy, Harry Hermione here."
She could hear them as they ran down the stairs. Harry ran up to her and started to swing her around. After her was though he stepped back and toke a good look at her.
"Wow Hermione you look great."
She blushed, it was true over the summer Hermione had spent more time improving her appearance, and she didn't want to be thought of as just Harry and Ron's bookish friend. So she had gone to a solon and had tried to have her hair straitened but unfortunately, it had only made her hair into soft ringlets...maybe not so unfortunate. Also since she had spent the summer in Paris on the ocean where she was outside a lot and now had a healthy tan. She had also filled out in all the fight places. So now that she was back, she was glad that they had noticed.
The next day Harry and Ron went out to play quidditch and asked her to come watch. After they finished playing Harry asked if he could talk to her for a minute in his room. When they were in his room he pushed her up against the door and tried to kiss her.
"Harry what are you doing,"
He just looked at her and snorted, "Oh, don't play hard to get I know you want me, everyone does." He then tried to kiss her again, but she kneed him where it counted and yelled at him. "Harry I don't know what your problem is but I don't want you and I never have. I only think of you as a brother."
"Whatever Hermione, whenever you get over yourself I'll be waiting." Hermione just glared at him and left the room. She spent the rest of the day in her room reading and avoiding Harry and Ron. The next day at breakfast Mr. Weasley said that they were going to go to Diagon Alley today for school supplies. Once they were all there they split up into groups. Hermione ended up with Harry and Ron. The boys automatically headed for The Three Broomsticks to get a Butterbeer. They ordered their drinks and sat down at a table. Harry somehow made it to where he was by Hermione and Ron was on his other side. At first it was going ok until Hermione felt Harry's hand moving towards her thigh.
"Harry get your hands off me!"
"Why baby, I know you like it?"
At this Hermione stood up. "How many times do I have to tell you I don't like you at all, so keep your hands to yourself." Harry also stood up, and since he did so did Ron. "You know I never noticed it but Ron you act like his dog, don't you have a mind of your own?"
Ron didn't even react, "You don't know what you're talking about Hermione."
She was stunned why were they acting so weird. "What's gotten in to you guys lately?"
"Nothing Hermione we just realized were tired of hanging around a stupid mudblood like you, I mean all we ever used you for was homework any way. It's not like we really liked you, seriously who could. You were so ugly, and now that your not you won't even be useful." Hermione was stunned, "How could they say that about me I thought we were friends? Well fine!" Sure she was hurt, but she was also pissed. She didn't think she could be around either of them without hexing them so she left.
END FLASHBACK
"That's when you "accidentally ran into me." She looked up at him to see how he took her story, but he didn't show any emotion.
"Well Miss Granger that's interesting, very interesting. Now I have a couple more questions before I tell you why I brought you here. Ok first do you know any dark magic?"
Hermione wasn't sure where he was going with this but because of the potion she had to answer. "Yes, I do, but not much."
"Good, would you like to learn more?"
"Yes I would."
"Why?"
"So next time I face Harry I can hex his arse to hell and back."
"Perfect, last one, what do you think of me?"
"Oh, I can't answer that, I can't answer that." But she did, "I think you're an evil man, but that evil turns me on. You're not afraid to let you be you and I like that. Also it doesn't hurt that your down right sexy." 'Merlin I can't believe I said that."
"Well Hermione that's very informing I have to make sure you don't get to lonely here all by yourself." Lucius was smirking, but her didn't say anything more about that. "Now it's my turn to tell you why I kidnapped you, it's very simple really. Power. You have an amazing amount of untapped magic flowing in your veins. I'm going to help you learn to control and wield that power to your advantage, but I'll expect payment. But don't worry about that now. If you have any question you can ask me at dinner. I have some things I need to take care of." After he said that her left for his office, Hermione just sat there thinking about what he had said. "Untapped power I'm not so sure about that surely Someone would have told her. I guess I have to wait until dinner to find out more." Since she had nothing better to do she just went back to her book.
