DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT.
Twenty-Two
No one in the room spoke for a few moments. Snape stayed silent out of shock and Malfoy out of shame. This was probably one of the first times in his life he felt ashamed of doing something. This was the first time he regretted his decisions. Snape was speechless. There were very few times in his life when he was speechless and it looked like this was one of those times.
"I don't know. You would have to ask Granger that."
"I killed her daughter, that's why." Snape's eyes swung to Malfoy as though he had grown two extra heads. Daughter? What daughter?
"What are you talking about?" Snape asked. He had been a spy for the Order but he had never heard any one mention Granger's daughter. As far as he knew Granger was a virgin. If she had had given birth then who was the father? It couldn't be Ron or Potter. None of the other members would have dared approached her.
"Her daughter. The little girl, Emily. When we raided her house."
"Granger doesn't have a daughter!" Snape exclaimed. Lucius's head snapped towards Snape. Now it was his turn to be shocked.
"Yes, she does." Lucius sounded so broken now.
"Lucius, I think you had too much to drink-"
"The girl Serverus! She was mine and Hermione's daughter!"
