Hermione groaned as her eyes fluttered open. She quickly closed them because the light was hurting her head. She felt two hands squeeze hers so she forced her eyes back open and looked around. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw her Dad, Harry, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy all sitting at her bedside. She saw the ghost floating around the infirmary still and smiled slightly and then looked at Harry and Severus who were each holding one of her hands in their own. Her eyes met her Dad's and she smiled slightly. "Good morning."

Severus' mouth quirked up in a half smile and he said "Good morning Hermione. How are you feeling?"

Hermione sighed and said "I'm feeling a lot better than I have in a while but the light is hurting my eyes. Other than that I feel great."

Severus nodded. "You are back up to your full strength then and then some. The ghosts have helped to rejuvinate you. As for you feeling better than you have in a while I can only guess that your body knew of the changes you were going to go through and it was trying to make sure you came through it alright. We need to talk about what happened last night."

Hermione sighed but nodded again. "I know we do but I have a question for you first. Why are Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy here?"

Severus chuckled causing the three people that were sleeping to wake up. "Lucius and Narcissa are here because I was talking to them when Winky came to get me after Mr. Weasley started attacking you. When I got here he was holding you down with his hands at your neck. I was able to throw him off of you and when he tried to scoot back like he was going to leave Lucius held him at wand point to keep him in place."

Hermione nodded and then asked "How did they take it that the Mudblood is actually their Goddaughter?"

Lucius who was fully awake unlike Harry and Narcissa said "You are not a Mudblood nor were you one when we thought you were a Muggle-born. I don't have a problem with Muggles or Muggle-born's but I had to make it seem like I did. I was in a precarious position and had to make sure that Voldemort didn't learn that I was a spy. I am very sorry for everything that you went through at my hand or my families hand. I am especially sorry for what you went through at Malfoy Manor. Narcissa, Draco, and me tried to make it where they wouldn't find out who you, Potter, or Weasley was and I tried to minimize the pain that Bellatrix put you in but I know that it didn't help much. I really do hope that you will allow Narcissa and I into your life. There hasn't been a day that went by that we didn't think about you or wonder how you were, who you were, or where you were."

Hermione smiled slightly as she listened to Lucius talk. "I will give you and your wife a chance Mr. Malfoy. Just like if I have to I will give Draco a chance. My birth Mother told me when I talked to her that I could count on you and your wife and that both of you were light and was only acting like you were dark. Now as for everything that happened to me at Malfoy Manor I don't blame you. I know that Draco recognized Harry, Ron, and me but he chose to say that he wasn't sure it was us. However I do think that it would help our relations if you would apoligize to Harry for everything and even to Ginny Weasley from where you put the diary in her belongings."

Severus chuckled and said "Now you can see my daughter in action Lucius. Even before I knew she was my daughter I liked watching her in action like this even if I had to pretend I didn't. It was real funny to watch how she managed Blaise Zabini without him even noticing that she was doing it until she was finished."

Harry laughed and said "She's always been good like that. She had three Slytherin's just two days ago doing her bidding without them asking a question at all. She made it seem like it was their idea and not hers at all."

Hermione blushed and said "I only get them to do what they need to do. I can't help it if I have charm."

Severus laughed and said "You have your Mother's charm alright Hermione. She did the same things that you do and got the same results."

Lucius nodded. "Yes, Ciara was always good at getting people to do the things that she wanted done and make it seem like it was ther persons idea all along. As for what you said Miss Granger I can do that. I will apoligize to Miss Weasley but I hope that you do know it wasn't my intention for her to actually open the diary. I placed it in her things so that Albus would get it and destroy it. The note that I wrote on it must have fallen off before she got to Hogwarts."

Harry and Hermione exchanged looks but it was Harry who said "You don't owe me an apology Mr. Malfoy because in all reality you didn't do anything to me other than teach your son how to be a prat towards me and mine. I have no problem with trying to get along with you for 'Mione's sake. I will even try to get along with your son."

Lucius nodded and then said "Now that, that is out of the way what are we doing about Mr. Weasley? Oh and Miss Granger and Potter you both can call me Lucius. I have a feeling we will be seeing each other quite a bit."

Hermione nodded and then frowned. "I don't want to send Ronald to Azkaban for what he did but then again I really don't want him around me right now. I want to give him one more chance but if he does something like this again then I will put him in Azkaban."

Severus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Fine we will do it your way this time Hermione. However when he screws up again we will do things my way. Deal?"

Hermione smiled and nodded. "Deal, Dad."

Severus couldn't stop a grin from forming on his face at Hermione calling him Dad. "I like the sound of that. I will see if Poppy will release you and then we can go to breakfast."

Hermione nodded and then sat back on the bed she was in. She turned her head towards Narcissa and started talking quietly to her while Harry talked to Lucius and while Severus went to go and get Poppy. As she talked to Narcissa and listened to Harry and Lucius talk she couldn't help but smile. She had no doubt that everything would work out.
