Hermione was waiting the bell, that way she’ll know when to go to her last class Ancient Runes. She was seated in the stairs in front of the Great Hall waiting when suddenly she felt something strange. It was like a bad feeling of something that happened or was about to happen, she stood up and looked sideways. Nothing. She seated down again when she felt footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Ginny walking to her.


“Hi Misha, how are you? ” Ginny asked sitting next to Hermione. Ginny looked at her and saw her sad face “Misha are you okay? What’s wrong?”


“Nothing Gin, I’m okay, don’t worry” Hermione said looking the other way. She didn’t want Ginny to know what happened she felt bad at the moment and knew she wouldn’t stand arguing with Ginny too.


“Hermione you don’t have to hide your face, I know what happened, I know that you and Malfoy are together, Harry told me, and he told me that he feels bad and that he’s trying to deal with it, just give him sometime. From my part, I’m not angry, I’m with you, I knew you liked Malfoy I didn’t knew you were together, but to tell you the truth I’m happy, because you’re happy. And if he ever makes you cry you now that I’ll be there for you, and for kick his ass” Smiling after telling Hermione all of this she hugged her. Hermione felt grateful to Ginny for being such a good friend.


When they pulled back the bell rang. Ginny and Hermione said goodbye and Hermione started walking to Ancient Runes when she saw Lucius Malfoy walking weird. He looked like a puppet, Hermione alarmed because she thought of the imperius curse but when she saw his face and their eyes met, his face change so suddenly that Hermione got scared.


--------------------------------------------


Lucius went out of the Hospital Wing still not believing what he had realized. Hermione Granger was his daughter. He knew she was, there was no doubt in that, her mother Jane was a muggle with no wizard relatives. And she was pregnant when he left her, he told her that no one could assure him that the baby was his and that she was just a whore. But he knew the baby WAS his, she was a witch after all, and a powerful one. No doubt she’s a Malfoy.


He felt the fury run through his veins ‘Why didn’t she just killed the bastard’ he thought walking without looking ‘She did it on purpose, that way when the baby grew up, she will want to find me and ask for her part as a an heir of the Malfoy fortune, that’s why she accept Draco, to make me go insane, she knows that they’re brother and sister, but the filthy mudb… Wait she’s not even a mudblood she’s a halfblood’ His mind was working on overdrive. So was, that he didn’t notice the same girl of his new nightmare standing in front of him looking at him confused. He saw red, she notice and tried to scream but he was faster and grabbed her neck and covered her mouth.


“YOU SHOULD’VE NEVER BEING BORN!” He yelled while putting more pressure on his grip around Hermione’s neck. “You only want my money and the Malfoy name and power! You’re nothing but a slut! You will never see one single knut of mine” Lucius was out of his mind, Hermione’s eyes were turning black when her anger started to grow. But it wasn’t working because Lucius hands were strangling her. She felt herself falling into darkness as the oxygen wasn’t entering her brain cells.


She could hear Lucius voice yelling at her but it was distant ‘Draco I’m going to die, your dad’s killing me. No I cannot die…. I CAN’T!!!’ Lucius grip suddenly left her and she could breath again the force of her mind throw him away from her, making him hit the wall and fall. She stood up and ran away from him. Hermione ran down the corridor and when she turned right she hit someone and stumble backwards but he grabbed her arm and prevent her from falling to the floor.


“Why such a hurry Miss Granger” Dumbledore asked her releasing her arm. He then saw the bruise on her neck and became worried “What happened Hermione?”


Hermione couldn’t hold it and threw her arms around his waist and started to cry.


“Lucius Malfoy saw me kissing Draco in the Hospital Wing, and he was beyond mad but Draco told me to leave them alone ‘cause he needed to speak with him. And when I was heading to Ancient Runes, I saw him on the corridor, he was walking weird so I stayed where I was and then when he realized that I was there. I didn’t have time, he grabbed my neck and try to kill me yelling at me all sort of awful things” She finished telling Dumbledore what happened still sobbing.


“Where is he?” Dumbledore asked her.


“He’s in that corridor” she pointed to the way she had come running. Dumbledore moved away from her and walked to where she had pointed. Lucius wasn’t there. Dumbledore went back to where Hermione was.


“Miss Granger, go to the Hospital Wing and tell Poppy to give you a Calming Draught I’ll be there in a minute” She nodded and went to the Hospital Wing.


Dumbledore waited until she had left and sent his patrounus to McGonagall. He went to his office and waited for her. McGonagall entered his office with a worried expression.


“What happened Albus?” She asked taking a sit in front of him. Dumbledore sighed and told her what happened.


“But do you think that he knows? Maybe he was mad because he found out that Draco and Hermione are together” She said trying to believed it herself.


“I don’t think so Minerva, if it was just that, he will have just talked with young Mister Malfoy. No I think that Draco told him something and he figured out who she really was” Albus said looking at Minerva who was turning paler.


“We have to do something Albus, if he knows he’ll tried to kill her, he already did. I will not stayed here doing nothing to protected that girl. I told you that we have to tell her the truth, but you said it wouldn’t be a good idea, and see what happened. We have to tell her”


“No Minerva, not yet. It’s not our right to tell her something like that. It’s her mother the one who has to do it. I will go and talk to her, maybe I can make her tell Hermione the truth” Minerva looked at him still not thrusting this was the best way of handling something like this but she accept it, promising herself that she was going to protect Hermione.


----------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione entered the Hospital Wing and went to Madam Pomfrey’s office without looking at Draco when he called her name. She entered the Healer’s office and asked her for the Calming Draught. After drinking the potion she felt the effects immediately she breathe in and thanked the Healer. She went outside of Madame Pomfrey’s office and went to Draco’s who was looking at her with a hint of reproach in his eyes.


Hermione seated in the bed next to him a threw her arms around him in a desperate hug. She needed his comfort.


“What’s wrong with you? First you enter the Hospital Wing without even looking at me, hide into the Healer’s office and then come her a threw yourself at me. What’s wro…” He couldn’t finish the sentence because Hermione pulled back and he saw the black bruise on her neck. He looked at her alarmed and was about to asked her what had happened. When Dumbledore entered the Hospital Wing.


“Miss Granger did you took the potion?” He asked walking to them. Hermione said yes and he nodded “Very well then, I hope you feel better now. I’ll leave you two now, take care both of you” Saying this he left the Hospital Wing.


“What happened Misha, why do you have that nasty bruise?” Draco asked reaching with his hand to touch and caress her cheek, brushing away a tear that rolled down Hermione’s cheek. After telling him what happened. Hermione had a hard time preventing Draco to stand up and went into a hunt to kill his father. She managed to calm him down.


“Draco I’m scared. I think he’ll try to do something else against me again” He could see that she was scared. After calming down he was able to think. There was something that he didn’t understand. Why his father did that to Hermione, if he had told him that he was just seducing her un purpose to get the information from her, he was lying of course, he just didn’t want his father to know the truth. That he and Hermione were together since last year school finished.


But there was also the other thing, why his father mood change all of a sudden when Draco told him Hermione’s full name. There was something in there, he knew there was something but right now he could not put his finger on it. He will have to give it more thought and attention later. But right now he had to calm Hermione’s fears down.


“Don’t worry Misha I will not let him hurt you again” Saying this he hugged her tightly.


-------------------------------------------------------------


Two weeks had passed since the incident with Lucius, Hermione felt more at ease hanging around school all by herself. She took all her responsibility as Head Girl with Draco as Head Boy. They were a great team. The Prefect’s patrols were very well distributed so no one has more work than the other ones. Ron had returned to finish his school year, but was banned from everything, he was no longer a Prefect and no longer the keeper of the Gryffindor team. Harry took his place by Dumbledore’s orders as a Prefect, and since Harry was the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, he was forced to arrange new tryouts for the keeper position.


Hermione was in no-speaking terms with Ron, she hasn’t forgot what he did, but was glad that he could finish school. Draco thought better and didn’t told her it was his idea to speak with Dumbledore, to allow Ron to come back. He thought that maybe it wasn’t the time yet.


Draco had been thinking a lot about his father, he wrote to his mother asking her if she new something. But her answer was of no help, since she didn’t know anything. But she let Draco know that she disapproved his relationship with Hermione, but she would not interfere in his decisions.

Dumbledore was seated at his desk waiting for McGonagall. When the knock on the door was heard, Dumbledore said “Come in”


“You wanted to see me Albus?” Minerva said walking to Dumbledore’s desk and sitting down on the chair in front of it.


“Yes Minerva, I wanted to tell you that I’m going today to see Miss Granger’s mother to persuade her to tell Hermione the truth before her birthday. I believe that Hermione’s birthday is in four days and I’m afraid that that’s gonna be a problem” Dumbledore said with a sigh.


“And why will that be a problem Albus?” Minerva asked fearing what Dumbledore was about to say.


“It would be a problem, because the spell I put on her to hide her true appearance will be lift, and I’m afraid that she will be shocked” Minerva gasped ‘Now that’s a problem’ She thought.


“I hope I can persuade her, If not we will have to tell her the truth ourselves” Minerva nodded, knowing that possibly that will be the case.


“I’m going now, wish me luck” Dumbledore said rising from his chair. McGonagall accompanied him to the entrance, giving her a nod Dumbledore walked out of Hogwarts grounds to the apparition point.

-------------------------------------------------------

Dumbledore apparate in the alley next to Hermione’s parents house. He walked outside the alley and moved to he left taking the path that leads to the front door of the house. He reached the front door and sighed. He lifted his hand and proceed to knock the door. But when he did it he realized the door was opened. He hesitated but entered the house anyways, pulling out his wand just in case.


“Miss Granger? Jane Granger?” He called in the house but no answer was heard.


He walked into the kitchen but no one was in there, he called again, but again, no answer. He was starting to worry. He walked outside and entered a door to his right. The room wasn’t too big, there was a desk and to armchairs in front of it. A few pictures of Hermione when she was little adorned the desk. Dumbledore checked the room but there was no one in there either. He was getting really worried. He lowered his wand and walked out of the little study.


In front of him was the living room, he walked in and his heart froze. Lying on the floor with a pain expression was Jane Granger dead.
