Chapter 17: Let the truth be told!

Now…

Hermione sat on the couch in the teachers lounge at Hogwarts. Her baby she was gone. She was gone all because of Lucius and Ginny. What had possessed these people to become so evil that they had to sabotage her life? Why had they chosen her life to ruin? She placed her head in her hands and cried softly. There must be some place in this entire school that I can go to be alone. And then it came to her. Moaning Myrtle's bathroom! Hermione quietly got up and quickly ran to the girl's lavatory on the second floor near the west wing farthest from the Great Hall.

She pushed open the door and slipped into the last stall on the left side closets to the window. There Hermione put down the seat lid and placed her feet upon it while sitting on the flat most part of the toilet. She then resumed her crying. First, she lost her baby, and now she might lose Draco because he was so enraged that he might lose at his father's hand. Why, all of a sudden, is her world crashing down around her?

Draco sat in his father's drawing room waiting for him to arrive. He knew in his heart of hearts what he had to do. He had to kill his father if the fight came to that. He would commit sinful murder in order to protect the one that he loves but it will not be in his home. That is cowardly. It would be on the battlefield.

"Hello, Draco!" Lucius said stepping into the room. "Thank you for taking my spot at the rally. I had other Death Eater activities to tend to. I saw to it that there weren't many casualties of the battle. Although we did lose poor old Snape and I did find you a wife. One that is suitable according to my standards. So not that that is out in the open I would like you to meet the woman that you are going to marry. Ginny Weasley. She was wonderful today. She helped me kill many of things including Snape."

"Father, no disrespect, but I am not going to marry Ginny Weasley, for the simple fact that I do not love her. I wish that things could be different but, I am in love with another soul. A soul that completes me and a soul that makes me whole. I have to go be with her know."

Draco stood up transfigured the nearest lamp into an unauthorized port key. "Portus," he said dejectedly and the port key sent him to the exact point where Hermione was.

"Hermione, it's all right! We will try again." Draco hugged Hermione to his body and kissed the top of her head. "But for now we have to go see Professor Dumbledore. He has something to tell the both of us."

Draco placed his arm around Hermione's shoulders and they walked together back to the Headmaster's office where he was already seated and waiting for them.

"Please sit." He order and they did as was told. "Now, you already know about the spell that Professor McGonnagall casted as a foolish young girl. I am here to tell you more about its history. In short I am here to tell you the truth about Tom Riddle and why he is today Voldemort.

"30 years ago when Minerva and Tom were 5th years at the school they fell in love like most teenagers that were prefects normally did or thought that they did. However, this time it was different. Minerva was a Gryffindor and Tom was a Slytherin. There bondage as you could call it was forbidden just like yours had become. On the day that Minerva cast the spell to bind them forever she and Tom conceived a child. He would later on become Lucius Malfoy. Draco, your father.

"On the day that they were to be married they got into a terrible fight. The wedding was called off and Tom disappeared from the public eye. Within the months that followed Muggles and Half bloods started dying and over them was the Dark Mark. However, most do not know that if you take the disillusionment charm off of the mark it refigures itself to form a broken heart with the initial T and M on either side.

"That is why the two of you need to be married as soon as possible. I know about the baby. This baby was just a fluke. I am sure that you will have another child as soon as the war is over. Professor Trelawney predicted it. Maybe it is true but maybe it isn't however, the both of you are young and in your prime. So who knows what is to happen? You may now leave. The Heads dorm where you lived in your seventh year is still there and just the way that you left it. Beds unmade and all. Goodnight!"

Draco once again hugged Hermione to his body and led her out of the room. "Thank you, Professor." He said and then closed the door behind them. Once they got out into the hallway Draco picked Hermione up and carried her to the Portrait Hall.

"Dragons," he whispered and he stepped into the room where they had first made love. He laid Hermione down on the couch and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I love you, Darling." He said softly.

"If you love me then don't go away, stay and fuck me." Hermione laughed while pulling Draco down onto her body. With a flick of his hand their clothes lay in a heap near the fireplace and Draco was trailing kisses from the base of her neck all the way to her naval.

For the first time when they made love Draco looked into her eyes and their souls melted together. They were one with the way they felt about each other. They were one.
