Granger Reunion

Slytherin's Help

After dropping the kids of at their own school's. I headed of straight to Malfoy Manor.

Yes, I know what you're thinking. Why? Why in the world would you do that?

Well, after the war was over and Draco and I met again, he of course had to reintroduce me to his parents. And well we got off swimmingly, the manor part I needed time to get used to again but it was worth it. Now, I've got a devoted husband, beautiful children, and amazing in-laws.

As soon as my feet had hit the foyer I was engulfed in a tight hug by none other than Narcissa Malfoy.

"Darling, I've missed you so much. How are you? Why haven't you visited more often?" She asked while smothering me to death.

"C-can't... breathe." I managed to choke out.

Realizing that I may not be able to breathe she released her hold on me. Then I noticed that Lucius was near a doorway, smirking.

"Well? Aren't you going to give me a hug too?" Lucius asked with a teasing voice. I walked across the room towards him and gave him the biggest hug I could muster. He responded with bringing me up in the air and twirling me around a few times.

When he returned me back to the ground, he asked me "Well? Aren't you going to reply to my wife?"

I told them that I was fine, Draco and the kids too. I said to them that the reason that I haven't visited in a while is because work has been hectic these few days. I also assured them that I'll ask Draco to visit more often and here Narcissa made a comment to promise her that I'll to drag him if I have to. And what a daughter in-law would I be if I said no to that?

When we finished get catching up on our lives. Lucius and Narcissa had this knowing look in his eyes. They looked at each other and Lucius said, "That's lovely dear-,"

"But you have that look-," Narcissa followed

"Where you seem to be scheming something-,"

"And well, you seem to be require-,"

"Our services," Lucius finished of with a gleam in his eyes that practically said don't-you-dare-deny-it.

I was shocked. A bit by the finishing sentences, but more of my plan thing. I mean how could they possibly know what I'm thinking.

"Don't look so surprised, dear. We are Slytherins after all. That and your mannerisms today have a, how do I put it, sneaky air to it." Narcissa replied with a refined voice, that I'm sure even the Queen would admire.

"We're getting old, Hermione. Not stupid. Now do tell us the whole story." Lucius said after a minute of my silence.

I sighed. Of course, my plan would be found out, but this just makes it easier for me then since they know what I actually am thinking of. Then I straightened my gaze again and told them the whole story.

"So, that's what's gotten you in a bit of a fit?" Lucius chuckled. Suddenly, his gaze became sharp and he turned towards his wife who, by the looks of it, is assessing the situation. Lucius then asked, "Well, have you planned anything yet? Or do we get a new clean project?" The look on his face would've scared anyone on the receiving end.  Thankfully, I'm not gonna be the one that is going to be getting it.

With that thought in my mind, I gave them both a smile and decided that they looked so enthusiastic, like Christmas came early, so I said, "No, so where do we start?"

I'm gonna be here for awhile.
