Draco was still holding my hand as he brought me into the living room. Standing in the doorway was Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. Lucius smiled and winked at me as Narcissa held out her hand for me to shake. "So you are the one who has won our dear Draco's heart," she said taking my hand in hers. "She's very pretty Draco. Don't you think Lucius?" She said turning her head to look at her husband. "Yes very. If only she wasn't a mudblood she would be perfect," he said nodding his head. The bell for the first class being over rang and noise could be heard out in the halls. A few minutes went by with the Malfoy's sitting on the couch talking to each other and me sitting there pretending to be happy.
Snape came in about ten minutes later not having a class at that time. "Severus," I said standing. "Will you help me get some tea for out guests?" I asked walking into the kitchen. "Umm ok," he said following behind me. "Why are they here?" He whispered into my ear. "I don't have a clue. Lucius already knows me but he acted like he didn't with his wife there. Draco said they wanted to meet me since we were getting married." I went to the cupboard and got a tray and 5 cups while Snape made the tea. We put the tea in the cups and brought it out to the Malfoy's. "See she is perfect already. Serving her husband should be no problem," Lucius said grabbing my hand as I gave him his tea. "Severus is she living here with you? She seems to know her way around." Snape looked at me and then back at Lucius. "Yes she is actually. It's part of her apprenticeship with me." He gave a weak smile and then stood back up. "Hermione we should check on the potions. NOW!" he yelled so that Lucius wouldn't stop me. I jumped at the yell but took my hand back and followed him to the lab.
"We have to get you out of this. Lucius is planning something. I'm not sure what though." He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his room before we made it to the lab. "That's a nice black eye you gave Draco by the way. What do you think he told them about it?" He asked sitting on the bed. "Umm… no clue. Why did we come in here?" I asked looking around. There were green satin sheets on his bed. How very Slytherin of him. I walked over to his bed and sat next to him. "I wanted to see how you were handling all of this. It's been a hard day for you," He said turning to face me. "Yeah it has but I think I can handle the Malfoys. I just got to keep my knees in shape," I said giving a small laugh. He gave me a small smile then stood up. "We better get back out there. They bite you know." He went back out into the hall and waited for me. I stood up and followed him out of the room.
We went back into the living room and I sat next to Draco. Snape sat on my other side. "Lucius I have to ask since I think even Draco was wondering, what made you change your mind about Hermione?" He asked looking at Lucius. "Well when I came to meet you yesterday and I saw her lying on your couch I figured that with the attitude she had she would be the perfect Malfoy. That and her being the smartest witch of her age help's make her worthy." He stood and walked towards me. "Your where here yesterday father?" Draco said standing and walking in front of me blocking his father from seeing me. "Well yes Draco. I needed to talk to Snape and there that young beauty was lying on the couch. I was wondering what was going on that she was here." He pushed Draco to one side and grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "I think we need to go for a walk my dear. Just the two of us." He walked over to the door and opened it. He held out his arm and said "Shall we?" I took his arm against my better judgment and looked back to see Snape and Draco were both standing now.
We walked out on to the grounds before he started talking. "I'm sorry I had to kill your parents dear. It was the only way I could get you to listen to my demands. You will be a Malfoy and you will like it. Did you give Draco that black eye?" He said stopping and grabbing me by the wrist. "Yes I did and he got what he deserved. As for you I will not follow any Malfoy demand. The only reason I am going along with this marriage shit is because you now own me. Don't think that that means I'll listen to you," I said pulling my wrist out of his grasp. I looked back at the school and saw a man in all black standing at the top of the steps. I knew it was Severus but said nothing to Lucius about it. "What do you want from me anyways?" I said looking back at Lucius. "I want you to get to Harry Potter. The Lord would love to get his hands on him and I would love to help him do that in anyway I can. But also Pansy is not good enough to be a Malfoy even if her blood is pure. Draco knew that and so do I now that I have met you." He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. "You will learn that to listen to both Draco and me will be a very wise thing to do." He kissed me hard on the mouth and when he let go I smacked him hard across the face and went running towards Snape approaching figure. I hadn't noticed that Draco was behind him until I hugged Snape around the waist and saw him come up beside Snape.
"Draco, I'm sorry but your father is positively pure evil." I let go of Snape and walked back to the castle. It had only been two hours since class with Snape had started so I went back to the lab and worked on the potions not saying anything as I passed by Draco's mother. As I walked into the lab I saw that one of the potions that should have been taken off the flame an hour ago had boiled over and mixed with the other potion on the table. "Shit," I said banishing both potions and putting the Cauldrons back in the cupboard.
Draco came in a while later. "Where are the potions?" He asked looking around the room. "They were both ruined so I got rid of them. Did your parents leave?" I asked standing up since I had been sitting in the chair. "Yeah they have. What happened while you were outside with my dad?" He asked walking towards me. "Well he told me that it would be wise to listen to your demands and his for that matter. He also told me that he was sorry for killing my parents but that it had to be done so I would learn to listen to him. Then he kissed me," I said not looking at Draco. "He also said that Pansy was never good enough to be a Malfoy even if she was a pure blood." I went back to the chair and sat down. "He killed your parents? You're joking right?" He said walking towards me. "Do you really think I would joke about something like that?" I asked him giving him a disbelieving look. "Well no I guess you wouldn't and that does sound like something my father would do." Draco walked towards me some more and sat on his knees in front of me. "You probably hate me even more now don't you?" He said looking me in the eyes. "Well no I don't hate you anymore. I hate your father though," I said looking up from Draco's piercing gray eyes.
I saw Snape standing in the doorway. "Professor, I'm sorry but the sleeping and pain potions got messed up but the Wolfs bane is still ok." I stood up and walked over to the Wolfs bane potion and added two more ingredients that were needed. "Alright, well this doesn't need anything for awhile so can both of you follow me. I need you to clean something in the class for me." We followed Snape to the class room and watched as he opened a storage closet for us and gave us both a few towels. "I want these bottles all clean. Mr. Malfoy put your wand away. No magic. I will be in my office so you will be wise to listen to me." He turned and walked away robes billowing behind him.
