Endless Love - Hermione Granger X Male Reader

Chapter 1 - Greetings

December 17th, 1985

"Lucius! Come quickly!" A woman's voice echoed through the halls of the Malfoy estate, shrouded in darkness. Bursting through a large door, she entered the room in distress.

"Narcissa? What's the matter?" A tall, blond-haired man, Lucius, stood facing her.

"They've taken them. They've taken them all," Narcissa sobbed, her hand trembling as tears streamed down her face.

"Who? Bellatrix?" Lucius asked, his voice filled with visible concern.

"Bella, Rodolphus, and Rabastan," Narcissa managed to say amidst her sobs. "They've taken Bella's baby as well."

"Have they had a trial?" Lucius inquired, pulling Narcissa back to her feet.

"Not yet," she replied, still sobbing. "It's scheduled for two days from now. The Ministry... they want a swift trial."

"I will speak to Millicent. We will take the child into our custody. That's all we can do for now," Lucius said, determined. With that, he stormed out of the room.

"Albus... You called," an older woman entered the headmaster's office. She had silver hair and wore a large black hat.

"Minerva, I have found him. The boy from the prophecy!" Albus exclaimed with elation.

"Harry? We located him four years ago. I don't recall any other significant prophecies," Minerva replied, studying the long-bearded man across the table.

"Child born within a house a strange? Does that ring any bells?" Albus asked, looking at the papers in front of him.

"Ah yes, I do remember that. The one involving the 'Girl of Grange'?" Minerva questioned.

"Yes, a child has just been discovered during a raid on the Lestrange compound. I have a strong suspicion, which I cannot share at this moment, but it is extremely important we get this boy to our side of the war." Albus explained, handing Minerva the file.

"Have we located the girl in which the prophecy also references?" Minerva inquired, her cat-like eyes fixed on Albus.

"It mentions Granger's blood and that his family won't approve of this woman. So I searched Muggle-born databases but found nothing. However, when I checked Muggle records, I came across this girl... Hermione Granger," Albus pointed out the name on the page.

"But, as you said yourself, she is a Muggle," Minerva responded, skimming through the folder.

"Yet, at the age of three, she made a light turn on by itself and has also managed to make doors shut on her own while standing 30 feet away. I personally believe she is a witch. So, if these two ever meet, we must ensure it is as enemies for the girl's safety," Albus explained, his tone serious.

"Albus... I thought you, of all people, would have a little faith. If they are meant to be, we shouldn't be the ones to stand in their way. We should merely guide young..." Minerva paused, waiting for Albus to complete her sentence.

"Y/N, and that's a very good point. However, lives are at stake, Minerva. I don't want to take any risks," Albus asserted.

"And Albus, who was the last student you treated similarly?" Minerva asked, once again fixing her intense gaze on him.

"Tom Riddle," Albus responded, causing a triumphant smirk to appear on Minerva's face. "You're right, Minerva. We won't have another Voldemort, not this time. We must also decide where he is to be relocated. The Malfoys have asked for custody. Yet, I think we all know that to be a poor decision. I suggest Tonks. I have sent such a suggestion off to the ministry now we must wait to see the decision."
