Dear Miss. Granger

Dear Miss. Granger,

For the love of merlin please bed my husband, Lucius. I see you are smitten with him as he is with you. I cannot truly enjoy my lover with Lucius hovering around me at all of the ministry functions. He still requires me to assume the role of hostess at the manor balls and I would gladly hand that honor over to you, you will receive monetary support, you can have the flat in London and the house in the Caribbean. Please join me for tea tomorrow afternoon so we can discuss this further.

Sincerely,

Narcissa Malfoy

p.s. Just so you know the last time Lucius spent time in my bed was Draco's conception.

'What in merlin is this tripe?' Hermione screeched.

'Well it looks like she is giving us permission to…' Lucius looked up hopefully.

'I get the flat in London?'

'Yes, she was there once, never liked it and never went back. And she prefers the villa in Greece to the one in the Caribbean.'

'And monetary support?'

'Yes, you will have your own bank vault, I think Cissy has already put 100,000 galleons in it to get you started, and I will match it, as you will need new ball gowns for seeable future.'

'How much, just to bed you? So if I hold out will that number go up?' as she grinned at Lucius.

'Yes, that is how desperate she is.'

'Welcome to Malfoy manor Miss. Granger.' as Narcissa entered the drawing room. 'Let me get down to business… Please take me up on my offer.'

'Mrs. Malfoy…'

'Cissy please, we are about to come to some sort of agreement today I hope.'

'Hermione then,'

'Hermione, I have seen the look on his face when he dances with you, I never got that look of admiration. Our marriage was a matter of pureblood values and money. There was never any love between us. The Blacks and Malfoy, two of the noblest of blood lines coming together, and as we have Draco as sole heir, I was only able to have one due to health reasons.' As she strolled around the room, 'I have seen him watch you from afar for many years now, he has told me that you have refused him on many occasions. So now if you agree, Lucius has a chance to have love in his life and to have more children that is if you want to have some for him. They will not of course be entitled to titles or the rest of the Malfoy fortune. They will have bank accounts set up for them, as will you.' as she sat across from Hermione. 'You have full access to the London flat, the Caribbean Island villa and obviously the manor for all banquets and balls. We can come to some sort of agreement on all of the other properties.'

'Well I don't know, Mrs. … Cissy. This seems all too crazy and when the press gets ahold of it I will be all over the front of the papers and I have tried to stay out of them, so I'm not sure about all of this.'

'Well the papers I can handle, as we own them, when it does come out it will be just a small blurb in the middle somewhere. And I can always flash my dalliances to get the front cover to take notice off of you two. That picture of me and Pablo on the beach could be leaked at any time if need be.'

'I do like him, but… I'm just a passing fancy and he will tire of me in a few months and then where will I be?'

'In the London flat or the island villa and a very healthy gringotts account. Those will be put in your name and your name only. And for as long as Lucius has been harping on you it is not a passing fancy. He has never asked, begged and pleaded with me, to talk to any woman in the last twenty-two years we have been together, and as far as I know he has never strayed. He has been true to his vows all of this time, why I don't know, I took a lover a year after Draco was born, and I told him to go find a side piece.'

'Well thank you Cissy, I will think about it, but I do not know if my inner self can be the other woman. I don't want the money and the house or the titles. I just want a man for myself and not have to share anything with the wife. So I will take my leave.' as she got up to leave.

'I will put 200,000 more galleons in your account…'

'Thank you for the tea, Gooday Cissy.' as she walked out of the room.

'What did you say to her?' Lucius asked Hermione as he came into her office.

'Why?' He tossed the Profit down on her desk. The heading read "Narcissa Malfoy files for divorce" and then two pieces of paper lands on top of it. "Official Decree of Divorce" and "Deed of Property"

'She filed yesterday. So whatever you said, freed me and I can now ask you out officially.'
