Chapter 2
After being able to get a hold of Hermione’s current address, Lucius decided to head to her place right away, and have numerous questions answered. How did she become pregnant with Severus’s child? He couldn’t come up with an answer. It wasn’t possible for them to have relations together. Teacher student relationships were rare in Hogwarts, but Severus wasn’t the type to sleep with students or have some sort of personal relations with them. If he wanted a shag, he would usually pay for a classy whore at a brothel. He was always safe and was never careless, making sure the witch never got pregnant. There was no woman in his life. His life revolved around his work and potions. He very much doubted if he knew about the child.
In fact, he came to the conclusion that probably no one knew that the child existed at all—no one from the Order or Hogwarts. If someone knew, then they would have known, and would take precautions as to care and keep him safe. Even if Harry knew, he would have not kept such a secret from Albus.
With regards to Hermione, he knew that she had left soon after the war had ended. They may have not gotten close, but story spread around with the Order members. From what he heard, she surprised both her friends Harry and Ron with a sudden and brief goodbye, saying that she needed a break from the wizarding world. Was her pregnancy the sudden cause of her leaving?
Lucius stared at the old apartment flat building that stood in front of him. Around, he couldn’t help but notice that he had entered a part of London that was shabby and unsafe. Pieces of garbage were scattered around and a few drunken men were shouting across the street, and it was early in the afternoon. He shook his head. This was no place to live, and most certainly not the right place to raise a child. After he adjusted his black leather coat, he walked down the few steps of the stairs in front of the building, heading towards the single wooden door.

Hermione had her eyes closed as she lay on the couch in her tiny living room. The TV in front of her was on mute as it continued to show whatever it was showing at the moment. What it was, Hermione didn’t care. She had been exhausted for weeks ever since Sebastian was born. Now she was able to have the short rest that she needed since Sebastian was fast asleep in his crib, in the bedroom.
Caring for a child on her own was not easy. Even if she worked at home, most of her time and efforts went to him. She didn’t ask for help from anyone, nor was she offered any help. Her stress levels were way beyond what she was used to. It was costly as well to take care of a baby. She barely made enough to make ends meet. Most of her money went towards Sebastian’s needs, and not hers. At least she was far from the wizarding world. The place that had caused her to suffer through so much pain, by losing everything she had. She couldn’t go back, she promised herself that.
“Coming!” Hermione said aloud as she heard a knock or two at the door. She grumbled to herself and slowly got off the couch. Who could it be? She already was up to date for her rent if the landlord was going to complain again about her late payments. When she opened her door, her breath caught and the blood from her pace drained.
“Good afternoon Miss Granger,” Lucius said, keeping his voice firm.
“W-what are you doing here?” Hermione stammered.
“I am here to see you and baby Sebastian,” he replied.
He knew? God help her, he knew! What to do? Kick him out? Shove the door on his face? No one was supposed to know about Sebastian. She fled and disappeared to keep him safe and to start a new life.
“Will you not let me in Miss Granger?” Lucius asked, disrupting her thoughts.
Hermione stepped aside and let Lucius in. “I’m sorry, it’s not much of a place.”
Lucius looked around after he took his coat off and set it on the small coat hanger on the door. Her place wasn’t much indeed. It was a tiny one bedroom he figured. The kitchen and dining was one area, while the living was just a step away. The place looked cramped even with only few pieces of furniture. The walls still had old wallpaper from decades ago, fading. Some part of the wall no longer even had wallpaper, making the cement visible. Cupboard doors were crooked, and there was a crack in the ceiling above. How could someone live in a place so small, and one that seemed like it was falling apart?
“All I have is a cola in the fridge Mr. Malfoy,” Hermione told him, asking if he wanted to drink.
He shook his head. “Thanks, but no thanks.”
Hermione leaned back and let her bottom rest on the kitchen counter. Her eyes met hers as he stood across the room, resting his cane behind the couch. She crossed her arms over her chest and then said, “He’s sleeping now.”
“How did it happen?” he asked.
“Why would you want to know?” she replied in question.
“I want to know the truth!” he snapped. All day he was impatient. Now, he was ranting it out on her. “Your son is the prophecy, and he is Severus’s son. A child that no one knows nothing off. A son that Severus knows nothing off.”
“And it will remain to stay that way!” Hermione answered back with tears forming beneath her eyes. “I do not want to go back to the wizarding world ever! Why do you think I left? Why do you think I disappeared?”
“Don’t you think that Severus has a right to know that he has a son born of his own flesh and blood? You cannot deny that from any father!”
“He doesn’t know-“
“I will tell him-“
“It was me he took the night of the last revel! It was me that he raped!” she finally said, her last button had just been pressed. Memories of that night came rushing back at her.
“Wha-“ Lucius’s mouth gaped open, unable to finish saying the work. Did she say what he thought he just heard? Rape?
“It was me…” Hermione broke out in a sob. “It was me and he didn’t know!” Her knees weakened. Her body slid down the counter making her sit on the cement ground. “He didn’t know…”
