"You think I'm really that dark and dangerous?"

"I don't know, maybe? I mean, we've all heard about how dangerous the Death Eaters are, and you're one of them, aren't you?"

"Do you really think I would admit such a thing out loud, in public, Miss?"

"Granger, Hermione Granger, and I think, that I already know the answer, Mr. Malfoy. See, it's not as though you try to hide your affiliations with the the group. And your trademark blond hair stands out really well in those black and white wanted posters the ministry is insisting on plastering on every surface."

"What do you want?"

"Simple, I want your boss dead," Hermione stated throwing back a shot. Lucius laughed.

"Is that all, Miss Granger? Why?"

"Simple, he murdered my friend's parents and he wants to kill all Muggle-borns. I think that's a good enough reason, don't you agree?" she asked running her fingers up his arm.

"Why shouldn't I just kill you right here, right now?"

"Because, Lucius, may I call you Lucius? We have a friend in common, a certain dark-haired, kind of annoying friend?"

"Snape."

"Exactly. He's the one who told me you'd be here tonight. He's the one who's assembled the Order right outside that door," she added nodding to the front door of the bar. "And he's the one who's been sneaking around helping Dumbledore do Merlin knows what, to make sure your leader stays dead this time. Now, I'm giving you a chance to help yourself. I mean, if you kill me, they kill you. You want to remain a free man, Lucius? You can come with me, meet up with your little family and live happily ever after somewhere no one will ever find you. The choice is yours honestly."

"Why?"

"Because I owe Severus a favor, and I owe Draco a bigger one," Hermione answered with a shrug. "See, your son kind of saved my life once and since he hasn't been in a position for me to repay him, thankfully, I offered to save the life of someone else for him. He chose his father. Of course, I'm sure you'll hear all about it if you chose to meet up with them. Narcissa took care of herself, doesn't she always though?"

"What are you some kind of ghost, making me an offer? I seem to remember you dying at the Department of Mysteries."

""First up, not a ghost. Ghosts are losers that got murdered. I'm a demon."

"I'm supposed to believe that?"

"Yes, see, I was sent to Earth as a punishment for something incredibly stupid, your moron at the ministry tried to kill me, I got my succubus powers back, as you are quite aware of," Hermione continued as Lucius blinked staring at her. He couldn't help but agree as he hadn't been unable to walk away from her this entire conversation. "And then Draco saved me from myself, so here I am, offering you a deal. "

"What's in for me? You said it was a deal, Miss Granger. You save me, let me have my life... what do you get out of it?"

"Draco no longer owes me, Severus does. I'm sick of your son holding it over me that I owe him anything, so you leave with your family, I never have to hear your whiny ferret-faced spawn again," Hermione answered. Lucius nodded slowly.

"And how do I get out of here without being murdered?" Lucius asked. Hermione smiled holding up a golden earring.

"Portkey, take it, say 'gold' and you're free. You'll still have your lovely mark, but you'll have a chance to start over," she answered handing him the earring. "And I do hope you take it. I've heard about what some people are planning for the Death Eaters they catch, and it doesn't sound pretty at all."

"Thank you, Miss Granger. I hope our paths never cross again," Lucius stated holding the earring in his hand. "Gold," he whispered disappearing. The door to the bar blew open and several members of the Order of the Phoenix stormed in.

"Where is he? Where'd he go?"

"Who?" Hermione asked looking innocently at them.

" Malfoy?"

"No idea, any of you boys want to have a drink?"
