The Truth
“NO WAY!!! Harry you are the best friend a girl could ask for” Hermione said hugging Harry.
He had just gotten through telling Hermione about the arrest and she was grinning from ear to ear. The dark circles around her eyes ruined the effect a little but Harry was relieved to see them dry.
“Don’t thank me. I’m more convinced than ever that there is someone behind all the events. I mean his wife caught him red handed and then we swoop in to take him away, and he’s NAKED!! I couldn’t have asked for a better set up” Harry said laughing.
“Well I stand by my word I will kiss who ever did this” Hermione said.
“So dare I ask about…..?” Harry hesitated.
“Please don’t. Let me ride this high for awhile” Hermione pleaded.
Harry raised his hands and walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of wine to celebrate. Hermione leaned back in her chair and sighed in relief. She was so grateful to have something happy to distract her. She knew Professor Phan would be mad at her for not dealing with her feelings but they would have to wait.
There was a knock at the door and Hermione’s stomach sank. He wouldn’t dare try coming here again, would he?
“I’ll get it” Harry said as ran around the corner, his wand at the ready in front of him.
Hermione held her breath as she heard the door open. She heard it close without any yelling and she calmed down a bit. But then she heard two sets of footsteps coming into the living room and the look on Harry’s face was apologetic.
Hermione stopped breathing all together when she saw who was behind Harry. It was Samantha, the one and only other person in the world she didn’t want to see right now.
“She said she needed to talk to you” Harry apologized and quickly ran back into the kitchen.
“Hermione, may I have a word with you?” Samantha asked softly.
Hermione was sure the woman in front of her looked like Samantha but her mannerisms were timid, not like Samantha at all. She looked uncomfortable in the living room. Hermione would have guessed it was discomfort from having to be in a mudbloods living room, but Samantha looked more scared than disgusted. She pointed to a seat for Samantha to sit down.
“Hermione what happened the other day was completely my fault” Samantha began “Lucius and I were working on a project together and I mistook it as him flirting with me. You have to understand that men don’t say no to me, so when he didn’t make a move I did
“He didn’t look like he was saying no when I was there” Hermione interrupted.
“Believe me he was. When you left he very firmly let me know I wasn’t the one he wanted” Samantha admitted.
“He told you to come here didn’t he” Hermione accused.
“No, he has no clue I’m here. He’s probably busy tying up all the loose ends with Amycus” Samantha replied.
“Excuse me?” Hermione gapped. What did Lucius have to do with Amycus? Where they still friends?
“Oh…I forgot you didn’t know… Well I think you should. Maybe then you’ll realize how much he cares for you. He has been plotting to get Amycus thrown in jail all week” Samantha revealed. Hermione’s mouth dried up instantly.
“I was helping him expose Amycus’ cheating to Lana. He had some buyer take care of the illegal items Amycus owned and he called in every last favor he was owed to have investors pull their money out of Amycus’ business” Samantha explained as Hermione’s mouth got wider and wider.
They sat in silence for awhile as Hermione let her head stop spinning. Harry had been right, there was someone behind it all, and it was LUCIUS! She couldn’t believe he would do that for her.
“Well I think I’ve done as much as I can. Give Harry my congratulations on the arrest” Samantha got up and showed herself out of the house.
“WHOA!!” Harry said walking back into the room.
“I knew you were listening. You could have stayed, then I wouldn’t have had to be alone with that woman” Hermione glared at him.
“She seemed nice enough” Harry said sitting down.
“Yeah….” Hermione was still running the conversation through her head.
“Are you going through with your promise?” Harry asked.
“What promise?” Hermione asked back.
“To kiss who ever is behind putting Amycus in jail” Harry smirked.
Hermione moaned and threw a pillow at Harry. She didn’t want to think about Lucius.
“Why not? Seems to me everything is back to the way they were. He wasn’t cheating; in fact he was doing the exact opposite. He was risking his own freedom to make your problems go away” Harry said plainly.
Hermione looked at Harry with confused eyes. He was supporting this, he wanted her to go back to Lucius……. and he was right. She had to apologize.

Voracious Reader~ Thanks for your Review. I had been thinking about Ch. 20 for so long I was afraid I have over thought it.
Heidi191976~ Great minds think alike.
The Eloquent Quill~ LOL I agree pops was a stretch. I have a friend who is English, and she thinks the word is horrifically offensive. I had to throw it in somewhere, maybe too much of an inside joke.
