'The last battle - Losses and Gains
The end was unexpected. Thanks to outside intervention, not many died. Not everyone was happy; Hermione wasn't, not at all; an old secret rocked her world. At the last battle end was unexpected. Thanks to outside intervention, not many died. Though not everyone was happy; Hermione wasn't, not at all; an old secret rocked her world. Since then, she knew there was no way to deny the Death Eater claims, she had seen pictures a while back.
Remus sat by the ocean, today he was terribly sad. He married Dora because she was pregnant with Teddy. She had told him she was on the potion, but she lied, wanting to marry Remus. All that was true, but he did not like Teddy growing without a mother's love.
At the battle, Fenrir saved him, a quick and lucky intervention. Fenrir had just touched him, awaking something inside of him. He was not a werewolf but a shifter. The silver was merely toxic once the wolf was awake. He ran to Dora, who lay there, dead; her aunt had snuffed her life. Fenrir told him, "I tried, but she was gone, damn Bella. Let us end this once and for all. We usually don't intervene, but no pups will die; too many have already died. I already saved the heavy kid, tricky, but it is done a timely illusion. Don't ask now. I had my reasons to be with Voldemort. "
Two large grey wolves wreaked havoc, saving many lives. Remus saw a wall coming down, about to crush Fred Weasley, and pushed Fred out the way. Fenrir practically flew to bring Bella down; then, he broke her head in one bite. He howled, and many wolves came out of the forest. They were magical wolves, killing all in their path.
Then Fenrir saw Voldemort about to kick Severus, and from the back, broke Nagini's neck. Before Voldemort could react, several big wolves tore him into pieces. Harry finished him with his wand, burning him to make sure he could not return. He did not die with Voldemort; it wasn't true, but he needed to extract the Horcrux inside him just in case.
Many were screaming, Nagini was moving when but not for long, Fenrir's massive jaws tore the head to pieces. After Neville separated it from the body, all was quiet, ending quickly.
After the battle, Fenrir approached Remus, who was crying by Dora.
"I promised your mother never to tell you, but you are my son. The bite was an excuse to hide your nature. After your father died, she didn't go with her sister. When she arrived, some weeks ago, my mind cleared; you see, I was ill; I'll explain later. Son, she is waiting to see you," Fenrir patted his shoulder.
Moony was awful, he detested Pinky. There is need to mourn, she was a usurper. The infuriating wolf told him, adding, we can now go for the one for us. You best hurry, there is a lot of hopefuls. Face it; if you ever saw her married to another, we would be forever miserable.
Hermione was beyond happy, almost zero losses, Fred had nearly died, but he was well. This day, she had gone to the beach; she was walking on the sand, wearing a dress and sandals. Though the ocean was still cold, she came wishing for the feeling of peace; her boys went with her. The revelation after the battle left her confused. She hadn't trust anyone; she could only imagine it was better when she was a Muggle.
That was when she saw Remus crying; she ran to his side and held him. He was surprised at how perfect she felt in his arms with her body next to his. He wanted her; it was a fact.
"So sorry," she whispered, happy to be in his arms.
He nodded; he was tongue-tied. Moony grinned inside; the horrible wolf wanted Hermione, since ever, making Remus feel like a pervert. Nevertheless, he couldn't deny it; she was a beauty. Hermione was a woman; this year, in September, she would be 19.
Ron came to her side, but to Remus's delight, she told him, "Please let me be. I want to stay here with Remus."
Ron told her, looking upset, "But Harry told me to warn you to hide; he saw him and." He couldn't finish because the tall wizard was upon them.
Hermione's Parents
A tall wizard walked towards them. "Please go," Hermione said; she didn't want Ron to know; what good could come out of it? She knew the answer, none.
Remus stiffened when he saw who it was, "I want you to leave, your sister-in-law killed my wife. Stay the hell away from me. Anyone related to her is not welcome. "
He could not finish, "Your son is related to her." The newcomer told him.
Remus looked defeated, "You are right. Not all the Black are bad; Sirius wasn't."
"I need to see Miss Granger privately," the newcomer said.
Hermione thought it better and nodded. Gods, this is a nightmare, she thought.
"Shall we walk along the beach. It has always brought me peace," he offered his arm.
Hermione put her hand on his arm, not wanting to make a spectacle. She had been hiding from Lucius, and he had found her. Lucius sighed, liking her hand on his arm.
As soon as they were far enough, she asked, "Why did you wait so long?"
"I had no idea until I saw you in the midst of magic lights and knew at once. Narcissa lied; I saw Bella pregnant and realized the child hadn't died, as Narcissa told me before. I asked my wife, who wouldn't look at me, suspecting something was wrong, I Legilemance her. What I saw made me boil; her sister had asked her for help, so my wife helped her hide while she was pregnant. They liked to play twisted games, polyjuiced as the other, they traded husbands." Lucius took a couple of deep breaths to calm down.
"Who knows how long their games went on. When they made computations, they knew the child was mine. So, when she gave birth, they went into the Muggle world and threw you inside a rubbish bin. But before they did, they changed your appearance with Color-vario-glamour. When your parents, the Muggle couple found you, you looked different."
Hermione looked at the hated Death Eater, unable to reconcile the facts. But her older parents had verified it again a couple of days before. They repeated the same story. They found the baby after the nurse saw two weird women dumping her. Hermione could not blame them for keeping her.
Her feet felt heavy, she dragged them on the sand, she wished this weren't happening. "What do you want me to say or do? Did she know who I was?"
"Yes, both did; that is why I am asking for a divorce; they figured it out when Bella saw you the first time. I wanted Andromeda; my parents were right, saying they did not like Narcissa. After Andromeda ran away with her Muggle, I accepted the trade. My parents wanted to break the contract, but I no longer cared. And before you asked, Bella knew when she tortured you, she wanted to kill you, well knowing Rodolphus wasn't forgiving. For lack of a healer, she wasn't able to conceive later on. She said it was from a miscarriage when she developed a nasty sickness after the birth." Lucius explained.
Hermione was crying, her mother abandoned her in a rubbish bin, then wanted to kill her over a nasty secret. She was only good for a rubbish bin.
"To know how I allowed the torture of my heir, under my roof, is eating me inside. To know how I treated you for years, makes me hate myself. I cry, like when was a small wizard. It is like acid eating me inside, tearing me to pieces. I cannot eat or sleep. Thinking of you, a tiny newborn, in a rubbish bin," his voice faltered." Lucius stopped to while angry tears, surprising Hermione, who we thought he was cold an uncaring. "I tis beyond what I can stand; it would have killed my father. "
Hermione just registered, "Draco is your heir, not I."
Lucius shook his head, "No, my dear child, the first born, in or out wedlock, is the heir. The reason why we only bed our wives; Narcissa knew it and wanted you gone. She still does; it is the reason why you must come with me. Draco will have plenty, he has the right to also live at the Manor, we will talk; besides females are rare in the Malfoy family. You are a prize, mine. You have magic beyond mine, it is the way. "
Hermione felt sick, yet she was confused. "Who else knows?"
"My solicitors, Severus, and Draco, who is unhappy and angry. He is mad at me, Narcissa poisoned his mind; he thinks I was lovers with Bella. I, according to Narcissa, helped Bella to get rid of you. Rodolphus also knows which is another reason you must come with me. Bellatrix cursed both brothers, neither can father children, and he was legally married to Bella when you were born. Under our law, he has legal rights over you. You would whitewash their name. But there is more, you are Lestrange as well. Bella wanted all fronts covered and thru dark blood magic, you are also Rodolphus' child, it is complicated. But you are more Malfoy, around 55%, so it stands, you are mine. Please know I am honored."
The idea that Rodolphus, her torturer could claim her was unbearable. "I am nearly 19, I am legally an adult. " Hermione protested.
"My dear, not in our world, a witch remains with her parents until she is married. If her husband should die, she comes back to her parents. "
Before they knew it, Remus, who had been following them, not trusting Lucius's leaped, bringing them down. He saved Hermione from a poisoned dart.
"How, where, who? Lucius was livid, but he was Lucius, time to set his claim, "I know why, the one I just told you. I was afraid of that. She is going to try to kill you. She will keep trying to kill my daughter, and that won't do. "
Remus felt sick, this could not be, "Who is your daughter?" He asked his voice faltering.
"Hermione of course. Let's go my dear, let's get your things. " He called someone with a finger, "Did you see?"
"No sir, it is hard to guard around here," the Malfoy's bodyguards answered.
Distressed Remus had a million questions. He could see Hermione didn't seem convinced, "I thought Malfoy traits were predominant." Remus remembered.
"Not here, come with us.' Lucius pointed at a large house. "Come with us."
Andromeda was walking with the baby inside a Muggle buggy. When she saw Lucius, she was going to turn around.
"Andy, we must talk, please, don't run. These years have been torture, we were victims, both. " He held her arm, and she nodded. The four of them went inside a house looking at the ocean. It was beautiful, probably from the last century.
"Please, stay there, " Lucius pulled his wand while he repeated some words. Hermione changed little except for her coloring; her eyes were colored violet, her hair was silver, white, with a strands of deep auburn and purple; her skin was alabaster like Lucius's.
Remus exclaimed, "Holly cow."
"Now you know, it is permanent." Lucius explained.
Hermione was angry, "You should have asked."
"Now that you know for certain, it would have happened sometime today on its own. You read my scroll around two days ago. I found this out when I looked at old magical color glamours. I was trying to find you for this very reason; afraid it would happen in public." He was telling her the truth; then he looked at Remus, "Could you please wait outside, by the terrace. Andy, you stay."
Remus wanted to hear all about it; "Please let me stay, I want to find out. We are good friends."
Lucius agreed when Hermione nodded; he invoked a silencing charm before talking.
"Andy, she is my child as you must have guessed. Lucius looked at Andy.
She nodded.
"Mine and your sister Bella's. " Lucius grimaced, " Don't judge until you hear," Lucius told her the same story.
Andy hugged her, "I am glad you are my niece: I thought I had lost all, my girl." Hermione was quiet while Andy cried.
Lucius said, "That isn't all, I know you loved Ted, but at Hogwarts, Bella and Narcissa fed you a love potion which is forbidden, on the left side of Dark, not to Ted, he loved you. I have filed for a divorce, so please, I want us to be friends. You have your grandchild; I would like to help you. Please, allow me; I never changed. I still feel the same; you remember when I told you when I saw you a few years ago in Diagon Alley; nothing has changed, I still feel the same. It is true; I love you."
Andy blushed, Hermione could see how much they liked each other. More than like, Lucius eyes were soft; but what about her?
"How am I going to explain this to my friends?" Hermione looked around the luxurious home, this was not her.
"The best we can. Rodolphus knows by now, Narcissa went to tell him. He will be fighting for you, it will be a scandal. I want to present you as my heir. I will press for criminal charges against Narcissa, because they tried to kill you; though Narcissa said they left you in a basket, wrapped in an expensive blanket."
Hermione shook her head, "I knew about it, my father later decided they were witches. Not a basket, a cheap blanket, I was naked. He told me when I was 15, I saw the picture. It was a bitter frosty night, when they left me on the top of dangerous rubbish, now, I recognize them. I saw the picture again, and Dad told me more. So my mother was Bellatrix, and my father a rabid Muggle hater. "
"Narcissa will pay for what she has done. I am no longer who I was, Muggles saved my child. I will be eternally grateful, please forgive me; I want to go back, and never mind. Let's begin new. I sent for your parents; I know about your memory charm." Lucius was angry.
Andromeda was sad to find out how her sisters had played twisted games, how they had never loved her. Bella killed her daughter, and also their best cousin because he had figured it out. Narcissa knew Bella was killing Sirius, and they had planned it. They poisoned Dumbledore's mind against Sirius. Lucius had done a lot of work, he wanted Narcissa punished, and Andromeda agreed. She offered to keep the mother's identity a secret, Andy was certain that whatever happened before was not all; Bella hated Hermione because Tom would have wanted a young bride, and who better than a Malfoy. He wanted his own child and needed a wife.
They decided to lie; Hermione was grateful. Hermione would be their love child, not Bella's. Lucius decided two could play that game and modified Hermione's appearance; now, she was only a Malfoy. They would make the Lestrange look like liars.
"You must come to the Manor," Lucius held her hand. He liked her hand on his. Hermione did not know the Malfoy magic was already working on her. She was changing and liked Lucius support.
They asked Andromeda and Remus, to go and pick up Hermione's things.
When Hermione went with Lucius in by the hotel she stayed with her boys, he thought the place not good enough for Hermione, and like it less when he saw room with three beds. Lucius was unhappy. "Most improper, if anything happened, expect retribution. And no, she is not to marry, not yet."
Harry and Ron were beyond upset. "Please, don't say more, we are only friends." Hermione urged Lucius, embarrassed with his comment.
"If Mr. Potter wants more, he will need to wait. As for Mr. Weasley, I know about your witches, please stay away from my child; who knows what diseases you have. " Lucius glared at Ron. Ron blushed deep red, and Hermione's heart broke a little. Her eyes filled with tears.
Harry called her, "It is a trick; he lies about Ron, and you being his child."
"No," Hermione had already used a charm she had learned. "Ron has done all my father say and more."
"Who is your mother," Harry asked.
"It is a secret; but Tonks was my half-sister." Hermione lied.
Harry laughed, "Phew, as long as it isn't Bella. We already have the news that Remus is a Greyback."
Hermione didn't say anything. She was right, everyone would dislike her.
