Chapter 31 :

"You must leave now, Mr Malfoy and remember that you have only 5 mins inside the vault. Dobby will apparate Mrs Malfoy, but before that make one of your house elves drink the Omono Potion and lay in her place. Don't worry everything will be fine." said Dumbledore.

Lucius nodded, "Dobby, Cissy is in the West wing, 3 floor, master's room. You can apparate there. Thank you once again Dobby. ( Lucius then looked at Dumbledore)     "Thank you Dumbledore, for everything. I don't think it wise to tell Draco now. I promise you, I'll try to find out as many Horcruxes as I can. (He then looked at Prof McGonagall and Prof Snape) Thank you professors for cooperating. I shall be indebted to all of you." said Lucius and left the room with Prof Snape.

Hermione was then snapped out from the memories. She stood right infront of the penseive now. Everything was now so clear.  She didn't realise that tears were flowing down her cheeks like a beautiful fountain. Never in her dreams, she ever thought about The Sufferings of Malfoy Family. She thought Malfoys had a very easy life, they had fortunes and treasures of money. But money could never buy happiness. She thought about Draco, poor soul who doesn't even know that his mother is still alive and safe. God knows how Draco will cope up with this lie. Will he ever forgive Lucius for keeping this a secret ??

She vowed to herself that from today onwards she will call a truce with Draco and make him feel better. If need arises she will tell Draco the truth, though it wasn't hers to tell. She still felt if he would know the truth about her safety, that would be much better than Draco taking things into his own hands and getting killed by Voldemort. But will Draco Malfoy really accept her friendship?? And why is she feeling so attached to Draco? As if she could feel every pain of what Draco is going through at this moment.

At Malfoy Manor( flashback ) :

Lucius Malfoy called his house elf "Elli" and with a crack she appeared, "Yes Master, how can Elli help you?" She bowed down asking.
"I need your help Elli, this is a secret between you and me, no one else shall know the truth, not even Draco. Do you promise?" Asked Lucius.
Elli was dumbfounded. Master was so polite with Elli. Elli felt very good. She liked this change in her master. And master is asking for her help, ofcourse she will help her master and keep the promise. "Elli will always help Master and keep all the promises, Elli will be honoured to do that." said Elli with gleam eyes.

"Elli, change yourself to Cissy and drink this potion. Take her place for a day, let people assume that she is dead. Please, she won't be alive if we waste more time, you know the Dark Lord is behind her, Dobby will keep her safe. Please help your Mistress." pleaded Lucius Malfoy.

Elli's eyes nearly bulged out from her sockets. Lying to The Dark Lord will lead to terrible death, just like the way he tortured her mistress. Will she obey this request of her master ?

PS : The purple potion in the background picture happens to be the Omono Potion.

Currently, I'll be discussing the events of how Narissca Malfoy's body will be replaced, so this will be in flashback. I'll come back to present scenario in Malfoy Manor in later chapters.

Hermione could feel Draco's emotions of pain as she was imprinted by Draco. The soulmate bond shall deepen with time.

Lucius is trying to change his old pureblood beliefs and prejudices, so you will hear more polite words from him in the upcoming chapters.

Sorry for keeping Ron out of track. My main focus is on Dramione and the Malfoys. Harry will also share more space in the upcoming chapters. But Ron shall have less role to play in my chapters. Hope, readers are not disappointed. If there are any suggestions, please feel free to comment below.

Thank you!

Always,
Aakanksha Rawat.
