Chap 2- Malfoy Manor

Disclaimer: J.K was supposed to send me the documents saying that I was liable to Harry Potter, at the moment I'm still waiting.

Now on with the story

Hermione couldn't believe that she was being led to the house of the Malfoys. Malfoy Manor.

She stood outside the house binded together by the ropes from Lucius Malfoys wand.

He didn't bind her too tightly, the Dark Lord needed her and he was forced by the Dark Lord for her to live with them. He knew Draco wouldn't be pleased.

Hermione was unusually quiet and he was getting a little worried.

"Why so quiet Granger" he asked but added the rudeness

"Did Voldermort have to kill my parents?" she asked quietly.

Lucius flinched at the name.

"You dare say his name?" he questioned

""Can you just answer the question?" she asked frustrated.

He gave her a glare and walked up to open the gate. She got angry.

"Answer me or I won't come" she yelled

"Fine!" he answered.

He went over to her and picked her up. He was surprised at how light she was.

"Put.Me.Down" she screamed as she kicked at Lucius's chest.

"Silencio" he muttered and everything went quiet.

After 15 minutes of walking they reached.

Lucius put her down and opened the large gates in front of him. Hermione was still wriggling but at least everything was quiet.

When they got inside Lucius took the silencing charm of her but she still lay quiet. Lucius looked at her and then followed her eyes as they travelled around the house.

He smirked and decided not to say anything.

There was a loud thump from behind.

"Father, you're finally home" a voice drawled.

Hermione turned around and was startled at the sight in front of her but then realised where she was. On the staircase was none other than Draco Malfoy (A/N: dun dun dun). She looked at him and smirked.

The expression on his face was priceless. Looking like a goldfish whilst opening his mouth and closing unable to say anything

Hermione gave him a look up and down. He'd grown a bit over the holidays and his platinum blonde hair was if possible more blonde than before which plastered his pale face.

Finally he found his tongue.

"Mudblood?" he spat "What the hell are you doing in my house" he yelled with so much hatred that Hermione was taken back.

"Come now Draco, be nice" he said to a livid Draco

"Ms Granger has been through a terrible ordeal tonight, do make her feel at home" he said in a 'kind' voice.

Hermione didn't fall for it but just looked at him with all the hate and anger she could muster to her face.

"Father, are you feeling alright?" Draco questioned in amusement.

"Do not speak to me like that" roared Lucius Malfoy. In a would be calm voice he added

"Please take Ms. Granger to the guest bedroom and give her some clothes tow ear.

"Can't the elves do it" he whined

"NOW!!" yelled and with that disapparated.

There was a silence which filled the room.

Hermione was still looking at the house. She spotted a picture which looked so familiar and went up to it. Draco stood and watched her.

Hermione walked to the portrait. The picture made her cry.

Sirius Black was there waving happily.

"Knew him didya Mudblood?" Draco asked.

Hermione didn't answer. She just let the tears fall silently. Finally she choked out a few words.

"Could you sniffle show me sniffle to my room"

"Are you crying" he asked through a smirk.

She immediately wiped her eyes and turned to him.

"Malfoy just show me to the god damn room" she yelled

"Whatever… lets go" and with that he led her down some stairs.

Hermione didn't bother looking around where Draco was taking her for future references and just followed Draco silently. Finally they reached her room.

"Here you go Mudblood, clothes are in the wardrobe and dinner is at 7:00 sharp. If you need anything, DO NOT bother calling" he said as he walked away.

Hermione collapsed onto and kept crying. She had never had a worse day in her life.

Her parents died, she was working for Voldermort to betray her best friend, she was living with the Malfoys and the worst part was that nobody knew about it.

She was crying for so long she didn't realise she had missed dinner.

Narcissa Black was walking to Hermione's room.

She wasn't like the Malfoys as much.

She didn't despise muggle-borns and she didn't believe in Voldermort' ways and he knew this but because she was married to Lucius he didn't dare to harm her and she didn't dare go behind his back.

Nonetheless she did go by the rules and traditions of the purebloods.

While walking to Hermione's room she was thinking about how much she wanted a daughter but she knew that Hermione wouldn't settle into this family.

She did have a small talk with Draco but she knew he wouldn't be civil to her. She approached the door and knocked cautiously.

"It's your house you don't have to knock" a voice called from inside.

"I know that but for awhile it is also going to be your house" Narcissa said.

"I will never fit in here, you know that" Hermione murmured.

"All in good time my dear, all in good time. Here, I brought you some food. Eat it if you're hungry" Narcissa said gently and left.

Hermione was sitting on the window cill looking out into the huge gardens of Malfoy Manor and was lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Lucius Malfoy come in.

He decided to wake her up.

"Crucio" he muttered

"Aaargh" Hermione screamed

Narcissa and Draco came running to her room just in time to see Hermione writhing and screaming on the ground.

Narcissa screamed and Lucius stopped. Draco just looked horrified. Lucius walked out of the room as if nothing happened and Narcissa walked right behind him.

You could here the fighting from Hermione's room. Draco closed the door and looked at Hermione.

She was still crying but not out of sorrow but anger, hatred and pain. Draco couldn't decide whether he should just leave her there or help her.

He waited for a minute. Slowly Hermione started getting up by holding onto different objects around the room.

She grabbed a pillow and started falling back down. Closing her eyes tightly she waited to hit the hard floor, but it never came.

Draco caught her and put her on the bed.

"Better be careful around here Granger. Step a toe out of line and you'll be back on the floor writhing and screaming" Draco whispered.

With a quick wave of his wand he cleaned Hermione up and left.

Hermione was stunned. Since when did Draco Malfoy help her? Hermione Granger, aka to Malfoy), mudblood. She didn't want to dwell on that at the moment but didn't it was more of a shock.

Before Malfoy Senior had hit her she had been forming a plan to betray Voldermort. She knew she would die but at least Harry would be safe.

But right now at that instant all she could think about was her encounter with the Malfoys.

There was a small tap at the window. A large snowy owl was outside the window. She opened it and the owl flew in.

"Hedwig" she murmured softly.

Hedwig dropped the letter into Hermione's lap. She was about to open it when Lucius Malfoy walked into her room yet again. He saw the owl and the letter in Hermione's hand.

"Potter?" he said confused "Accio"

The letter flew out of Hermione's hand.

"That's mi-" she began but thought better of it.

She didn't want to go through more pain again. Lucius Malfoy read the letter and then threw it at Hermione.

"I want that letter back when you're finished and when you've written a letter back I would like to see it" he drawled.

He took Hedwig and walked out. Hermione read the letter in her hands.

Dear Hermione,

How've you been? The Order have brought me to Sirius's house so I think I should be fine for now. Haven't see you around these holidays?

Are you at Ron's? I know you would be a bit worried about me but trust me I'm fine.

Anyway, I got a prefect badge. Dumbledore has made an exception and all three of us have prefect badges now. Isn't that great?

Well ill either see you in a few days or on the train. Until that time, take care

Love Harry

Hermione decided to give the letter back to Lucius Malfoy immediately. She walked around the towering halls of Malfoy Manor when she ran into Draco.

"Mudblood?" he asked "What are you doing walking around this late"

"I'm looking for your father, Ferret" she said briskly

"Why is that Ms. Granger?" another voice called

Hermione spun around on her heel.

"Sir, I just wanted to give you this" she said quietly and then started to rush away.

"Granger" a voice called

Hermione turned to see Draco Malfoy calling her name.

"What?" she asked

"Your room is that way" he said pointing behind him.

"But I came that way" she argued

Draco sighed "Think of this as Hogwarts where things change" and with that walked away.

Hermione didn't know if she could trust him. She sat on a step and cried silently. She was there for a long time, having no idea what happened throughout the night.

A/N: Well here is the second chapter. I have already written chapters 3 and 4 but it's on paper. I do it during Science and English so have to type it up… hopefully will be up in a few days.
