Chapter 2: All I Need

I woke up with a start the next morning. That dream was strange and made me feel really nervous. It was as though my sub-conscious was trying to tell me that something big was going to be happening but being me I put it aside.

I went down to breakfast and didn't say anything. Everyone was already there eating as we were all going to be out for the day. Dray was spending the day with Pansy, while mother was going to be going visiting. She always did this on a Tuesday. She didn't just visit with friends but she also went to the less fortunate muggles. She would help out in soup kitchens and things like that. It made her feel more humble she told me that night. Seeing all those people who are a little down on their luck still trying to show the world that they can do what ever they want.

After breakfast Lucius and I were getting ready to leave when I asked: "Lucius is it alright if we go out to lunch after we are done as I want to spend some one on one time with you in order to get to know you."

"Darling I thought you would never ask." Lucius said. "All you have to do is ask. I have already booked us a table at a small little resurant that I know just near Hogwarts. I hope you don't mind that it's a muggle place."

"Of course I don't." I replied. "I think that they can be fun sometimes and it also means that it will be easier to talk as no one will be trying to interrupt us."

You see that morning in the Daily Prophet was a short story on the return of Mia Malfoy. It wasn't much really just a short passage saying that the long lost daughter of Mr and Mrs Malfoy had been found and returned home. It didn't mention anything about Hermione though which I have to say I was glad about.

I wasn't looking forward to what people would say once they found who I once was. I knew that it would be hard for all those involved. I mean its not like people can have their minds erased of ever knowing me before. There are just too many people who knew me. Also I can honestly say that I don't want all my past deeds wiped out. It would have also been hard with what Dumbledore was going to be telling me later that morning but I will get to that in a minute. The article went on to say that the family would be making a statement later in the week and a family photo would be going with the article. I have to say that I was hoping that I would be able to see Harry and Ginny before the interview with the Prophet but I guess that it just wasn't going to go my way.

Just as Lucius and I were about to leave the house for Hogwarts a letter came for my. It was from the Weasley family who had heard from Harry and Ginny what had happened.

Dear Mia

Harry and Ginny have just told us that you have only recently found out that you are in fact a Malfoy. I have to say that I am glad that you have decided not to cut all ties with Harry and Ginny and that you are going to try and help them find a place where they can go to just be alone. I know that when Ron heard he was not happy and he is sitting here telling me that I should not be writing to you as you have turned your back against us.

As you know Ron isn't to keen on Draco, but what I haven't told Ron and the others is that Cissia and I used to be the best of friends. Even now we still try to keep in touch. The only reason that the children don't know is that we thought it best that we keep up the façade that the Weasley family and the Malfoy family hate each other. This was only for the public though. I guess we should have said something to Ron once he started at Hogwarts.

The twins have just walked in and they wish for me to say that they are happy for you and just because you are a Malfoy doesn't mean that you wont be allowed to have anymore free stuff from the shop. Oh and they are willing to help with any pranks that you wish to play against your new brother. (We have a new potion in that will turn someone into a ferret and if you wish to try it just let us know) George how could you. Although I did hear about that one I have to say that it would still not be funny to see.

I guess I should probably let you go as I am sure that you have a lot that you need to get done before school goes back. But before I sign off you are more than welcome in our home and if you wish to come for a meal just let me know through the floo network. We will try and work on Ron.

Hope to here from you soon.

The Weasley family (Arthur, Molly, Bill, Charlie, Percy, ((A/N: Percy never left.)) Ron and Ginny oh and we cant forget Harry.)

"That was so nice of them." I said to Lucius as I finished reading the letter. "I had no idea that mother and Mrs Weasley where old school friends."

"Oh yes." Lucius said. "The two of them where almost inseparable when they were younger. It wasn't until Molly married Arthur that things had to change. Molly comes from a well to do pureblood family and thus we could associate with them."

After I had finished reading the letter it was time to leave. Lucius and I had to apperate to outside the school gates and then walk from there. When I was younger this walk had seemed so long but now that I was older it seemed to only take minutes.

We walked straight up to Dumbledore's office and before we could knock the door oppened. It had been only a couple of months since I had been in Dumbledore's office but unlike the last time I was there I didn't feel as nervous. As always Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk with Forkes sitting on his perch.

"I guess your wondering what is going to happen to you know that your are back to being Mia Malfoy." Dumbledore said with a kind smile. "Well not to worry once the interview with the Daily Prophet has been published I am sure everyone will know that you where once Hermione Granger."

"So what you are saying is that I want have to go and do a make up course to contiue here at Hogwarts just to keep up the whole I have lost my memory thing that we where going to use." I said not sure how to take the news.

"We could use that story if you are more comfortable with that Miss Malfoy." Dumbledore said. "But it is entiraly up to you."

It was decided that the story that we would use was that I had little or no idea of who I was before I was found. All I would remember was beinging taken from my home when I was just two years old. It was also decided that we would not get the Ministry for Magic involved in finding out who had taken me. We also decided that a story would be spread that Hermione's parents had wanted to take her out of Hogwarts and send her to a normal school in the muggle world away from the prying eyes that would cause her studies to suffer.

So before leaving I took a test that was then sent to the Minisrty to prove that I had enough knowledge of magic that I should be allowed to attened Hogwarts for my final year. I was also told that I would be the head girl as my test results showed that I had a better understanding of magic that pretty much everyother girl in my year. Dray was to be head boy.

Once we where back at the gates Lucius took my hand and we apperated to the back of the little muggle resturant he had told me about that morning. It was a cute little French place.

"How did you know I love French food?" I asked as we where seated at our table.
"I didn't." Lucius replied. "But after Draco told me that you had gone to France at the end of your second year I thought that it would be as good a place as any to start in getting to know you again."

'I'm guessing that you dont need to know to much about my time at Hogwarts so what would you like to know about my time before I started?'

'Well how about you tell me what your schooling was like before you started and we can work from there.' Lucius said with a smile.

'That sounds like a good idea.' I said with just as big a smile.

The rest of lunch was spent with me telling him about what I had been up to before Hogwarts and what I did during the holidays. I also told him about how I spent Christmas and Easter. He got a kick out of that. It seemed to me that Lucius loved Christmas just as much as I did.

When the dessert menu was bought out I suggested that we change the subject to what my life would be like know that I was a Malfoy. We discussed all the percks that would be coming my way and that I was going to be spending the next few days getting a whole new wardrobe and things like that. I couldn't wait. Most of the clothes that I had warn before just didn't seem to fit my new life and what Harry and Ginny didn't know was that I loved to shop.

We got home later that afternoon and Cissia was waiting for me.

'Mia darling I hope you don't mind but I invited Harry and Ginny for dinner tonight.' She said. 'I know how much you must want to see them. I thought about inviting Ron as well but after what your father told me of Ron's reaction I thought it would be best if he was not here tonight. I don't want to make things difficult for you and as Harry has accpeted who you are I thought that maybe Ginny would be able to help Harry convince Ron that we aren't really bad people we just got mixed up with the wrong people thanks to our up bringing.'

'That sounds like a good idea.' I said. 'Have you already sent the invite?'

"Yes and I made sure that in the invite I asked Molly and Arthur for permission.' Cissia replied. 'Not that Molly will say no. She has a soft spot for me and Lucius. As I am sure Lucius told you this morning before you left to see Dumbledore Molly and I used to be the best of friends when we where younger. It wasn't until it became obvius that the idiot moldypants was going to try and take over the Wizarding world and all that that Molly and I had to stop writing to each other. Also when I married Lucius and Molly married Arthur we had to stop seeing each other. You see our families didn't really get along. The Malfoy's always have had a bad name but I am sure that you already knew that.'

'Yes I just think that its such a shame.' I said. 'Though now that moldypants has gone I'm guessing things will start to go back to the way they where before you got married.'

dinner that night was interesting to say the least. Ginny told me that Ron was being such a prat that Molly had grownded him for a month and taken his broom away for two months. All because he had apparentlycalled me a muggleborn and muggle hater. Apparently Fred and George had jumped up at that and hit him with some new joke jinx they had come up with. It made sure that the person wouldn't be able to sit, stand or sleep comfortably for a week. Also Charlie had hit him with some kind of pimple jinx which Molly was still trying to remove. Or at least that's what she was telling Ron. Apparently Charlie had told her how to remove it but she was going to leave it there until after they came back from getting there new Hogwarts supplies which for some strange an unknown reason where going to be brand new this year not second hand. All execpt for Ron's that was.

That morning at breakfast Mia had asked if it was alright to buy all of Ginny's school stuff for the coming year as she had only ever really had second hand or hand-me-down stuff before. Lucius agreed that this was a good idea and even suggested that perhaps they could set up some sort of trust fund that every sixth and seventh year student who showed excellent results in all areas of their schooling. It would be up to the headmaster to put those students name forward and then Mia would interview them and then out of those select few students would choose two to receive the little extra gift.

When Ron found out that he wouldn't be getting brand new school supplies and only Ginny was going to be he apparently hit the roof. He just couldn't figure out what it was that Ginny had done to deserve this. It wasn't until someone mentioned that perhaps it was because Ginny was the first female to be born into the Weasley family in some time that Ron stopped his hissy fit.
