This is PART 1... part 2 will be chapter 13 :) Hope you enjoy!

Narcissa Malfoy slowly made her way up the grand staircase of her home with her wand raised. She slowly moved door to door checking each and every room for any signs of Hermione. As she rounded the corner of the hallway she heard a man and women talking. Walking closer to where the voices were, she recognized the man’s voice to be her husband.

“…he vowed to do everything in his power to make sure Potter and the rest of you die.” Narcissa caught the tail end of what he was saying. She came to a quick conclusion that the woman’s voice coming from the room must be Hermione’s.

She backed away from the door and conjured a small message spell, “I’ve found her, upstairs, 8th door you come to.” Narcissa whispered the message and then sent it to Harry and Draco.

Walking back over to the door she put her hand on the door knob and took a deep breath then quietly turned the knob. Once it was completely turned she swung the door open and took a defiant stance in the doorway.

Hermione snapped her eyes away from Lucius and jumped back when she saw Narcissa standing in there with her wand raised at him. Lucius turned around quickly with his own wand drawn and pointed at his wife.

“Narcissa…” Lucius breathed and lowered his wand. “What on earth are you doing here? It’s far too dangerous now.” He said walking towards her.

“Not another step Lucius!” Narcissa snapped jabbing her wand at him. “Let the girl go.”

Hermione was now gapping at the middle aged witch, even angry she was elegant!

“Narcissa, do calm down, as you can see…” he said gesturing to Hermione, “she is not harmed nor is she being tortured, I’ve sent Travers and Rabastan away.”

“Hermione, darling, are you alright?” Narcissa asked walking towards the young witch who was still standing there rather surprised.

“Yes Mrs. Malfoy, I’m alright now thanks to Mr. Malfoy.” Hermione answered casting an appreciative look at Lucius who simply gave her a curt nod.

Narcissa stepped over to her side and put an arm around her shoulder before looking back to her husband. “You helped her?” she asked curiously.

“Yes.” He answered simply before adding, “She said something that made me stop and think, then realize she was entirely correct.”

Narcissa looked back at Hermione, “What did you say?”

“I... uhh… I asked him if he would’ve still loved you had you been a muggleborn…” Hermione replied “…and he told me you were and still are perfect for him and he would have loved you still.” She added looking up at the woman next to her.

Narcissa squeezed her shoulder and then looked over at Lucius lovingly, “Darling, you will always be perfect for me as well.”

Lucius smiled kindly at her and then turned abruptly as feet ran down the hall. Hermione looked at Narcissa somewhat terrified and buried herself slightly in the woman’s shoulder. Lucius backed away from the door and stood in front of them with his wand raised ready to curse whoever may enter.

Suddenly Harry, Draco, Ginny, and Blaise rushed through the door. No sooner had they enter their wands were drawn and aimed at Lucius.

“Move father. I swear I’ll hex you if she’s harmed in any way!” Draco sneered jutting his wand towards Lucius.

“Draco, lower you wand.” Lucius said as he lowered his own now knowing Hermione and Narcissa weren’t in any danger at the moment.

“NO! What have you done with her!?” Draco growled not noticing the figure behind his father that was still buried into his mother shoulder.
