Chapter 4

Hermione apparated from the gate straight to her front door, she would write her report in the morning. Her mind was spinning as she slammed the front door heading straight to her bathroom. She stripped and jumped into the steaming shower. Her heart was beating so quickly, she could still feel the tingling of lips on her right cheek, and she couldn't shake the look of Narcissa's face when she left. Never in all her life, had she felt this way, her reaction, the magic thrumming through her veins charging like electricity. No matter what logical reason Hermione tried to use as an excuse there was only one reason . . . she was completely turned on.

The water sluiced over her head, droplets running down her body as she tried to cleanse her mind, nothing seemed to work. Her thoughts kept going back to those blue eyes, golden hair and milky skin, and before it even registered her own hands were running over her own body as her fingers sought her center. Hermione shuddered as her fingertips skimmed slightly over her swollen clitoris. She had always been shy about touching herself ever since school, reading books on such subjects in the restricted section and shyly experimenting had been an extent, now however was a completely different experience. Her body reacted on its own accord, non-hesitantly slipping two fingers into her slick folds, pumping to a fast tempo. She tried to stifle her moans without much success as she pictured Narcissa Black writhing underneath her once more. She collapsed against the wall as she climaxed only then realizing the shower was now cold.

"So what time do you have to be in the courtrooms?" Blaise asked. He had joined Hermione for a quick lunch just outside the ministry, she had yet to return to the department of Mysteries, after leaving Malfoy Manor. Kingsley Shacklebolt had insisted she overlook all testing of the artifacts sent back In the Labs.

"In about an hour, I hope its straight forward these legal battles can take weeks with normal divorce procedures, a one on this scale could be months!"

"I know Draco said his mother was pretty determined, I think his father would cave before his mother, I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of a Black"

"When did you see Draco?"

"Couple of days ago, me and Anita met him and Astoria for dinner"

Hermione smiled at him. "You really like her don't you"

"Yes, Ironic where I met her, but I guess maybe its fate." His eyes brimmed with admiration as he thought of his new girlfriend. His thoughts turned back to Hermione and he continued to speak. "You will meet someone soon Hermione, you just need to put yourself out there more, you owe it to yourself".

I know, it has occurred to me a lot recently there is more to life than a career. It's only a matter of time before I won't even have you to come home too" Blaise gave her a playful nudge on the sofa, "me and Anita are still in early days yet, you can't get rid of me that easily!"

Hermione walked down towards the courtrooms trying her best to keep her composure and mind cleared. Draco was stood outside the door in Black dress robes. "Hey Hermione" he gave her a half smile, he looked exhausted since he last saw her.

"Still staying at the manor Draco?"

"Is it that obvious from how shit I look?" he answered.

"Let's just hope this will go as straight forward as can be" she answered opening the door for them both to go inside.

They entered the room realizing they were last to arrive, Draco left her side walking past the Seat of his father and an older wizard in grey robes and a stern look. To sit by his mothers side. Narcissa sat upright every inch radiating her aristocratic importance of the room. To her right was Magnus Merton, a small stout looking wizard with a walrus style mustache he was known as a dithery speaker but his knowledge of wizarding law was second to non.

Hermione made her way up to be seated next to Kingsley. To her right was Glinda Tugwood who had done the majority of testing on the artifacts as well as assisting Hermione at the manor with the inventory. To the left of the minister was Bernie O'grady who appeared to be taking the minutes of the proceedings, and Grace Denholm one of the Higher Ranks of the Wizengamot, and worker in Ministerial Wizarding Register Department.

"let us begin" kingsley voice echoed in the empty courtroom as all present looked towards him. Hermione pulled her files from her back placing them in front of her.

"we are here today on may 15th 2001 to record divorce proceedings of Lucius Malfoy II born February 11th 1954, do you state these details to be true?"

"yes" Lucius answered sharply

"and who Represents you?"

"I Edgar Hughes Professional solicitor of Wizarding Law Represent Mr Malfoy" the stern faced man spoke in a grunting manner.

"and the request for divorce is from Narcissa Black Malfoy, Born July 2nd 1955. Do you state these details true?""

Yes, though my name shall revert to black once completed"

"And who represents you?"

"I Magnus Merton, honorable member of the Wizengamot, professional representative of Wizarding law"

"Let us continue".

The hours passed as all items from the inventory were noted and passed amongst all participants. Hermione read her results and findings in detail. The majority of books taken from Lucius's study had been deemed "dark" and were kept for further analysis with the unlikely hood of being returned. It seemed the majority of agreement between both parties had been made beforehand and straightforwardly divided.

Merton concluded the majority of possessions narcissa had demanded. "All black family holdings Gold and properties will be returned to her immediately, she also wishes to have possession of the Mansion in Paris and Venice as well as properties she purchased during your marriage in New York and San Marino." Lucius was seen whispering to Hughes for several seconds after Merton had finished his speech. Hughes stood as he confirmed reassurances from Lucius.

"minister my client wishes to agree to all these terms on the condition Malfoy Manor is to be left in his sole possession as well as the Business and Bonds as requested beforehand. The agreement being that his son and heir Draco Malfoy will take over as Co owner and will inherit in trust as stated In Mr Malfoy's will. He does however wish to ask that Ms Malfoy will agree to keep details of the divorce finality From the public, and agree to act civilized in his presence shall their paths cross in the public eye in future."Hughes finished.

Draco leaned in to his mother to deter, but narcissa held her hand to him before he could begin. Instead she stood

"I agree to your terms Lucius, I only want whats best for Draco's future I only home any meeting we have in future is minimal". She sat as the room remained silent for several seconds. Lucius expressionless face never leaving her.

"have we covered all areas and in agreement from both parties?" Kingsley asked turning to the witches to his right.

"Yes minister" Glinda Tugwood confirmed as she scribbled the last few notes of the meeting.

"Excellent then we proceed to the bond breaking, if you will Grace".

The curly haired witch pulled a golden piece of parchment from the file she held. " I hereby state for the record that the marital Bonding of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black Null and voice on the grounds of mutual agreement to the terms of separation." She pressed her wand to the parchment as she said the words. Two slithers of golden thread seemed to glow from Lucius and narcissa's arms they un-looped and floated towards the parchment, wrapping round the golden paper and com-busting into shards of glitter floating into nothingness.

The majority of the party began packing up their pieces and leaving immediately. Lucius hovered as Narcissa left her table walking towards the only door.

"you were always my greatest prize narcissa I never thought I would lose you" Lucius spoke with an almost regrettable tone.

"then perhaps you should have learned to appreciate such things Lucius you had more than 20 years to do so, but I thank you for two things, you gave me Draco, and now you have given me my freedom, I only regret I didn't seek it years ago" she turned away.

Lucius left a coward who knew he would never gain anything from saying anymore. Draco turned towards Hermione who had watched the commotion in front of her midway through repacking her files.

"Granger, come to mine on Saturday, I feel like celebrating, and make sure that hermit you live with brings a bottle of Ogden Finest he owes me from last night" Draco winked before leaving, he seemed to be in conversation with Merton as he left through the doorway.

It wasn't until Hermione picked up her now full file case and looked u to leave did she realize Narcissa hadn't left and was in fact standing awkwardly at the opposite side of the table waiting for her.

Hermione smiled shyly "I need to hand this paperwork into administration before they close" she said her voice crispy from sitting quietly so long.

Narcissa nodded in understanding. After a few more seconds of silence and staring at each other Hermione to her Que to leave and started walking towards the door. She was reaching for the handle.

"Hermione!"

The silent cry was almost a whisper but it echoed around the now empty room. She turned back towards Narcissa, seeing a fragile pleading look on her face. Hermione smiled, Relief filled narcissas face and returned a smile in silent understanding. Hermione set the file down and walked confidently towards narcissa not stopping as she closed the distance between them, firmly pressing her lips to the blonde's. Narcissa signed into the kiss returning it immediately and wrapping her arms around the younger one in a tight embrace. After a couple of minutes Hermione pulled back still holding onto the blonde running her fingers against her cheek.

"I really do have to go to administration" she said slowly pulling back.

"Will you Join me for a drink when you finish?" Nacissa asked softly.

"what are we celebrating?" Hermione asked teasingly

"my freedom" Narcissa replied reluctantly letting go of Hermione's hand as she retrieved her file and they both left the courtroom going their separate ways.
