Saving The Malfoy Line

By: thenext_Austen

Chapter 2: Where To Now?

Hermione Granger couldn't get as far away from the elder Malfoy fast enough. The look on his face was beyond terrifying after they had heard the prophecy. It was enough to send her scurrying. What the bloody world that stupid prophecy even mean? It was unimportant at the time however, she needed to find the rest of their group and get out of here. She had the word of Malfoy that they would be able to go unharmed and for some unknown reason she believed him.

Grabbing Ginny by the arm she took off down the aisle in search of everyone else. Once they came back to the main corridor they ran into Luna and Neville. Quite literally ran right into them. Neville bounced off of Hermione and fell backward into one of the shelves holding the bright glowing orbs. It seemed as soon as he hit that it was an instant domino effect. Shelves started to topple back onto the one behind it and so on and so forth. The crashing of the shelves sounded like an explosion that was never ending. Just non stop breaking of glass and banging of metal hitting a cement ground.

They had to find Ron and Harry. They needed to find them now before someone was seriously injured. "Neville get your arse up! We need to go!" Ginny finally snapped everyone out of there own thoughts. Without a second glance back they all started running the opposite direction of the mayhem going on around them.

Coming to the end of the aisle they had finally found the door that would lead them out of this god forsaken place. At the door they finally met up with Ron and Harry. She was thrilled to finally see her friends again. If there was ever one thing that Malfoy was right about it was that she would always do what was necessary to help her friends. Namely the two boys standing in front of her now. She threw her arms around their necks and hugged them tightly. "I was so worried about you two." she said. "Mione I swear we did do…" he gestured to the massive entanglement of metal and glass behind them "that." "Ron I know, it was Neville but in his defense, I sort of tackled him on accident." About that time they all looked at the boy that was the subject of the conversation and he was about as red as he could be without looking like he ate some of the twins Fever Fudge.

"Sorry guys. I kind of lost the prophecy in the struggle with Hermione. I'm pretty sure it was one of the ones that broke though so I guess that's an upside since Harry already saw it." Neville looked horrible now. He was so upset about it that I couldn't help but feel just as bad for him. He's been struggling to get control of his magic for so long and it just seems like it never works out for him. He's gotten better though. Albeit not a large amount of progress but progress is progress.

"It's alright Neville. It's better for it to be destroyed than in the hands of Voldemort." Harry always knew just what to say. He is just friends with everyone. Except Draco Malfoy. She knew that she had to stay away from that train of thought because if she didn't then she would instantly be brought back to the prophecy that she found with Lucius. Heaven forbid she actually think about that situation. As much as she loathed Divination and all things prophetic, she had to admit that the prophecy she just heard did seem to be directed to her as well as the Malfoys. Bugger it said their name specifically so it has to mean something. She was just curious as to how long she would be able to keep this to herself. From the look on her best girl friends face it didn't seem like it would be too much longer that she could.

They made it through the door and started their way back through the Ministry. Once the others were ahead of them a ways, Ginny dropped back toward her. And that's when the questions began. "What the hell do you think you were doing back there? Making a deal with Malfoy? That's nothing like you Mione. And what was with that prophecy?"

Well where to begin? "I had to make a deal with him Gin. I needed to get us out of there and he thought I had the prophecy about Harry and Voldemort so there was no issue there. And as far as the prophecy that he heard, well that I have no clue. You know I have no eye for those types of magic Gin. That's more of Luna's forte than mine." "Hermione don't give me that. After that dumb ball gave it's message you couldn't back away from it fast enough. You dropped it faster than a quaffle and considering how much you hate Quidditch that's saying something." She wasn't really sure how to procede from there. She knew Ginny wouldn't let it go but if she told her about it then that meant she was acknowledging the problem and she really couldn't handle any more issues on her plate right now. She was at a loss for what to do, that didn't happen to her often but here she was. Rock and hard place.

"Look Gin just let me get a handle on this first and then we can talk about it later. Ok?" She was pleading at this point with the red head. She knew just how determined for answers she could be and for the most part it was really beneficial for her, except for when the questions were directed at her. She first was exposed to the Ginny Inquisition earlier this year in regards to herself and Ron but that questioning went a lot easier than this one was going to go. Her and Ron were friends and now she was completely sure of that. They had tried the relationship type thing but he was more concerned with Lavander Brown and well any other thing besides her actually. He was a great friend but more than that he was a bit rubbish.

Now that she finally had her friend off her case and she was catching back up with the others she was able to have some quiet time to try and figure out what in the world was going on. She really wasn't that great when it came to fortune telling or what not but this one seemed rather important to her considering it seemed to revolve around her.

How in the world was someone like her supposed to fix the Malfoy line? And just what exactly was wrong with it in the first place? As far as she knew they were absolutely perfect. Well according to her 'oh so wonderful classmate' Draco Malfoy they were the only family worthy of have magical abilities. Just the thought that she would have anything to do with that family is absolutely absurd. Draco had been horrendous to her since the first day that he met her and his father wasn't any different. It was one of those circumstances where the apple really didn't fall far from the bigot tree.

The prophecy was obviously talking about her and Draco considering the whole strife thing but the rest of it just didn't make sense. Not only would she never want to align herself with the Malfoy's but they would never take her in any situation. She was a muggle born, she wasn't the least bit attractive well by their standards at least and she wasn't the perfect cookie cutter bride by any means. She had an opinion that she expressed constantly. She fought for what was good and right. And lastly SHE WAS MUGGLE BORN! That couldn't just be forgotten. Especially since that family was incessant on reminding her of it every chance they got.

There had to be a reasonable explanation for this. She just didn't have a clue of what it was.

The group had finally made it back out to their rides. Stupid flying dead animals. She didn't have any problems with any of the magical creatures that they came into contact with or learned about. She would gladly fight for their rights and defend them to anyone but riding on them was another thing. Especially when they had wings. If people were meant to fly then they would have been born with wings. You would think that being muggle born that she would be more acceptable of flying since they have planes and helicopters and such but in all honestly she's never had any want to fly. Even when she was younger and flew with her parents on holiday she only wanted to take a dreamless sleep potion and forget she was even in the air. That was when she was in a metal plane, equipped with seats and seat belts. Now she was in the process of riding on an animal that she couldn't even seen however she was more than positive that they didn't come with seats or seat belts. She did the only thing she could at this moment in her life. She held on to Ron like her life depended on it with her face buried in his back, eyes firmly closed and prayed to whatever holy diety that this would eventually end with them safely on the ground once again without incident.

The trip back to Hogwarts was quick enough but it still wasn't something that she would willing want to do all the time. Or ever again. They made their way up to the front of the school and who stood at the front was absolutely shocking for them. Not only was it Mcgonagal and Snape but Dumbledore and Sirius were there as well. The former of the two was on the run from the Ministry the last that they had heard but things were changing by the hour around here so they shouldn't be too shocked. Harry took off up the stairs straight into Sirius' arms. He had been so worried about him when we first went to the Ministry. We all were but he was the last of Harry's family so it really hit him hard. As happy as I was to see that both Sirius and Dumbledore were safe and sound, the look on their faces were a little uncomforting to say the least. It seemed to be a very somber mood for everyone when we walked up and I was more than a little curious as to why.

Dumbledore was the first to speak up. "I'm so glad to see you all back here. I take it that since you are here that you found what you were looking for at the Ministry." "Yes Headmaster we did however the prophecy was destroyed while we were leaving but thankfully that means that You Know Who still doesn't know what it said." Harry replied. "I'm sorry Headmaster but how did you know that we went to the Ministry?" Hermione had to ask. "Well Miss Granger it just so happens that we received an owl about your actions while you were on your way back to the school. Not to mention a proposition that could very well help our cause greatly in the battle against Mr. Riddle and his followers. "Who sent it?" "Why don't you read it and find out for yourself since you happen to have a part in said proposition." He then proceded to hand a rolled piece of parchment to her. And as she unrolled it she couldn't believe what she was seeing. There was no way this was happening.

Headmaster Dumbledore

I hope this letter reaches you in due haste. I have recently discovered that there was a group of your students at the Ministry and they had come under attack. I was not sure to what cause they had there but I was sure that this was something that would cause great concern to you. I did everything that I could in order to ensure that the children reached it back to the school safely. Now in light of recent events there is one other situation that I would like to discus with you.

Things have changed drastically for my family and myself when it comes to how we are dealing with Voldemort and his comings and goings in our life. He has recently instructed Draco that he must end your life or it will be ours that he takes. I can not continue to put my only son through such trauma. We need to remove ourselves from this situation as soon as possible. I am requesting your help in that matter Sir. I would like for my family and myself to switch to the side of light. We need to redeem ourselves and for us to make this situation as easy as possible I will gladly share any and all information that you require to assist you in your fight.

Now certainly you know me well enough that you know I do require something as compensasion for my efforts in helping. It is simple though. All that we request is the permission for Draco Malfoy to court one Hermione Granger and them to be hand fasted by the end of the school year. Surely this is something worth considering. I would like a response as soon as you can come to a decision. My wife and I will now be residing in our summer home near Edinburg so we will await your reply.

Lucius Malfoy

Finishing the letter, it dropped from her hands and she didn't even bother to even try to come up with some sort of response to the people speaking to her. It's not like she could actually hear them anyways. Her heart was pounding so hard that's all she could hear. He wanted…she was supposed to…well bloody hell now what?
