Hermione Granger was sitting in her room reading, when her mother called her downstairs to talk.

"Hermione, I have something I need to talk to you about."

To Hermione this was very odd. Her and her mother had not been close since Hermione received her Hogwarts letter. Things really got bad when her father left in her second year.

"Yes mom?"

"This may come as a shock to you, but…" Her mom took a deep breath. "Hermione, you were adopted."

"I WAS WHAT?!" Hermione screamed. If there was one thing she hated, it was being lied to.

"Adopted Hermione," Her mom told her like she was stupid.

"I know what adopted is!" She shouted.

Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door. Hermione got up and answered it. When she opened the door she let out a loud gasp.

"P-prof-professor Snape! What are you doing here?"

"Mister Potter is not doing well. I thought it best if his best friend was with him."

"I'll go grab my things."

"There already packed." Her mom told her. "I was going to send you to stay at your stupid school anyways."

Hermione looked crestfallen. She waved her wand and shrunk her things and walked briskly out the door.

"Miss Granger, can you please grab my arm, and I will apparate us to where Mr. Potter is staying." He said quietly. He could tell she was very upset.

The next moment Hermione was looking up at a beautiful mansion. Asking her not to speak Severus led her to Harry's room. When he opened the door, Hermione shrieked.

"Malfoy! What are you doing here?"

"Uhm." He paused, thinking about what to say. "I kind of live here…"

"Professor!" Hermione said unbelievingly. "You brought me a muggle born, not to mention Harry Potter, the one who is supposed to kill the dark lord, to a house full of Death Eaters?!"

"No Miss Granger. I brought you to my family. My best friends." Severus explained. "They are not evil."

"But Lucius, he's a Death Eater," she argued. "He was at the Department of Mysteries."

"Lucius is a spy. Draco, is not a Death Eater nor will he ever be one." Snape answered. "And you know I'm not lying."

Hermione looked into his eyes and indeed noticed he was not lying. You see, she has this uncanny ability to read peoples eyes. So she could tell how they felt most of the time, and if they were lying.

She looked passed Snape to the person on the bed.

"Harry!" She turned to Severus. "He is alive right?"

Severus nodded his head. Hermione started to run up to him, but stopped when she got close enough to truly see how he looked.

"What happened?" She asked in a whisper.

"His uncle beat him, and possible raped him." Lucius answered softly.

"Why?"

"From what we've figured out, because he's gay." Draco answered solemnly.

"What?!" Hermione screamed again.

Both Malfoys and Severus thought she was screaming because she had just found out her best friend was gay, and was against it. They stood there looking shocked until she spoke again.

"He did that just because his nephew is gay?"

"I'm afraid so Miss Granger." Lucius answered quietly.

At that moment, Harry woke up. He looked around the room at Draco, Lucius and Snape. Then his eyes landed on Hermione. He started squirming and making noises as if he was afraid. Hermione tried to move closer to him and Draco stopped her.

"No." Was all he said.

"What? Why? He's my best friend."

"Miss Granger, He believes you hate him." Snape said softly.

"Why would I hate him?" She asked.

"Because he's gay."

"Oh Harry, I could never hate you. Especially because you're gay." Hermione said while starting to cry. "That would make me a hypocrite."

Everyone looked at her with stunned faces.

"Oh damn, I forgot other people were here. Yes Malfoy, I'm a lesbian. Gunna mock me for that too?"

Lucius looked sternly at his son, knowing that little Draco had played his role as future Death Eater way too well.

"I would never make fun of you for that. That would be making fun of myself." He answered. "That's right Hermione, I'm gay as well.

"What did you just call me?"

"Hermione. That is your name, is it not?"

"What happened to Mudblood?"

"That was a cover for when we spied on Voldemort. I fully apologize for my sons behavior." Lucius answered.

Hermione stood there shell-shocked. She would never had guessed that the Malfoys were spies. She stood there for a few minutes, then remembered Harry.

"Oh Harry! How could you think I would hate you?" Hermione asked

Harry shuddered at the memory of what Ron had said.

"I'll answer for him." Draco said softly. "Las night, when Harry first got here, I fire-called Weasley to see if he wanted to see Harry. His exact words were 'He deserves what he got, the stupid pouf.' In reference to his beating."

"Did he really say that Harry?" She asked not believing what Malfoy would say.

Harry nodded his head shortly. Hermione went up to him and hugged him. Harry stiffened a bit.

"Harry?" Hermione asked.

"You have to remember what he's been through recently," Snape reminded her. "He's going to be a little withdrawn for a while."

"I'm sorry Harry."

"S'ok Mione." He said softly

"No one has ever called me Mione," She said to herself. "I like it."

For the first time in a long time, Harry managed to smile. Which in turn made the rest of the room smile also.

"Hermione?" Draco asked suddenly. "I know I've been a real arse-"

"Language Draco"

"-but I really want to apologize to you. I am so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you."

"It will be hard for me to rust you for a while, but I forgive you." Hermione answered. "Oh and by the way Draco, you should smile more often."

That night after Harry had gone to bed, the other four stayed up to talk.

"Miss Granger-" Lucius started.

"Hermione, please." She cut in.

"Hermione," He started again. "I truly am sorry for all my family has put you through."

"I understand Mr. Malfoy. You did what was needed."

"Please call me Lucius. Hermione, I want you to understand something." Lucius took a deep breath. "I only joined the Death Eaters to protect my son. They told me if I did not join they would kill him."

Hermione gasped. How could anyone kill a helpless baby?

"What did his mother do?"

"Joined with pleasure. When we renounced the dark side, she left. She was killed in a raid two weeks ago."

"Oh, I'm Sorry for your loss."

"Don't be." Draco said. "She was never like a mother to me, and father only married her because he had to."

"Really?"

"Yes." Lucius agreed. "I was actually quite in love with someone else way back when."

Lucius and Severus shared a knowing look.

"Do you still love that person Lucius?"

"Yes, I love them very much."

"Do they know?" She asked.

"Yes, I let them know as often as I can."

The next morning, Harry woke up to Hermione sitting on his bed. She obviously didn't know he was awake, as she was talking.

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry for all that has happened to you. You really don't deserve this." She paused to take a breath. "I really don't mind that you're gay. I am too. What's even worse, I like a Slytherin. Someone who will never love me. It really stinks, love. Oh well, I still have you by my side, and that's all that matters. I love you Harry."

"Love you too Mia." Harry said, his voice cracking a little.

"Harry!" Hermione gasped and fell off the bed. "I didn't know you were awake."

Harry shrugged just as the door went flying open.

"What happened? What made that noise?" Severus yelled looking worried.

"I fell of the bed Professor." Hermione explained while trying not to laugh at the look on Snape's face. "Harry startled me."

"Oh." He looked relieved. "I thought someone was dying."

"Nope, we're fine."

Just then Draco walked into the room.

"You ok Sev.?"

"Yep, just got scared to death by two bloody Gryffindors."

This comment made Harry burst out laughing, and in turn he started coughing.

"Your ribs aren't quite healed yet Mister Potter." Severus explained.

Draco started laughing.

"You…got scared…by…two Gryffindors?" Draco said between laughs.

Severus looked about ready to kill Draco. Just then Lucius entered the room and Draco ran to hide behind his father.

"Draco, what are you doing?"

"He's going to kill me." He pointed at Snape.

"Did you laugh at him again?"

"Maybe…"

"Draco, you know there are two things Severus doesn't like. Being laughed at, and being called Sevvy." Lucius reminded him. "Isn't that right Sevyy."

Severus growled at Lucius. Lucius just smiled.

"It's okay Sev. We wont tell your secret."

Just then a house elf startled them all.

"Master Lucius, there is a person here for you, just outside the door."

"Draco Xavier Malfoy, you are 3 hours late! I'm coming in!" The door burst open and in stepped a very mad Pansy Parkinson.

"Draco what happened? We were going to go see a movie at 10." She said angrily. Then she noticed Harry. "Draco…why is Harry Potter in your house?"

"I can explain?"

"YOU TURNED EVIL ON ME! DRACO YOU PROMISED YOU DID WORSHIP THE EVIL SNAKE!" She screamed.

"Damn woman! I'm right here for Christ's sake." He calmed down a little. "I did not kidnap Harry. Severus brought him here."

"oh no…" Severus said.

"Oh Sev, why…why did you turn evil?" She started to cry.

"You silly little girl, I am not evil. I am helping Mister Potter."

"Really?"

"Yes. Good Lord Pansy. Why do you have to jump to conclusions."

"It's a girl thing." She answered.

"So I noticed." He said remembering Hermione the night before.

"So, this is why you didn't come to the movie?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you're off the hook then."

"Whipped." Hermione 'coughed'.

"What?" Draco asked.

"Nothing…nothing at all." Hermione answered.

"Did you just say I was whipped?"

"Maybe…"

"Ew…that makes it sound like I'm dating Pansy."

"Hey!"

"No offence Pans…girls are icky."

Harry burst out laughing.

"Draco…Malfoy just said…icky."

Draco rolled his eyes. While the rest of them joined in laughing. After a while Pansy turned to Draco.

"So, is someone going to tell my why there are two Gryffindors in this house?"

Review now please!
