Lucius couldn't help but look down at Hermione with concern in his eyes as she leaned against him. He wasn't really surprised when she started to fall asleep against him. He knew that even though she got some sleep that she could always use more sleep. He bent his head and kissed her head as he pulled her further into him. He wanted to make sure that she felt safe while trying to take a nap.
He hated that she had been hurt as badly as she was and wanted nothing more than to take her pain away. He could tell from the looks on the others faces that they wanted the same thing. He hated that there wasn't anything he could do but make sure that Hermione was comfortable. He wanted nothing more than to hold onto her and never let her go. He couldn't stop a smile from spreading across his face as he looked at his daughter. He was happy that finally the truth was out. His only regret is that it wasn't out sooner. He has missed so much of Hermione's life and he hated it.
As he watched her sleep he vowed to himself that he wouldn't miss another moment of her life. He would make sure that she stayed safe and once they caught the people who raised her he would make sure that they paid for what they did to Hermione. Once he made sure they paid he would make sure that Hermione knew what a parent's love felt like. Actually he would make sure that she knew what a parent's love felt like from this second on. He was never letting her go a day without making sure that she knew how much she meant to him and how much he loved her. He would also make sure that she knew how proud he was of her.

Arthur was still in shock about everything he had learned. He couldn't believe that he didn't see just what kind of woman his wife well now ex wife was. As he looked at Hermione he couldn't help but be thankful that he learned just who Molly, Ron, and Ginny were before they caused untold damage to Hermione and Harry both. As he watched Lucius watch Hermione he couldn't help but smile because he could tell that the blonde haired man loved Hermione dearly already. He knew then that Lucius would do whatever he had to in order to make sure Hermione was safe, cared for, loved, and most of all happy.
He looked over at his second oldest son and smiled softly as he saw him watching Hermione and Lucius too. He knew that Charlie would speak up if he saw something that shouldn't be in the aura's of people that were still in the room. He knew that Charlie loved Hermione like a sister and that he would also make sure that nothing else happened to the young woman. He silently vowed to himself that he too would make sure that nothing else happens to Hermione. He didn't like to think about what happened to her and what could have happened to her. He was just happy that she was alive and still able to get around even if it did look like she was in pain when she tried to walk.
As he thought about his ex wife and her part of everything he could only hope that she wouldn't try to do anything more than she has already done. He knew that Charlie was planning on talking to Kingsley today and he couldn't blame his son for that. He knew that the only way Molly would ever learn is by having everything that she had done thrown in her face. He couldn't even honestly bring himself to care if she was thrown in Azkaban for what she has done and her part in Lucius not being out when he should have been. He still couldn't believe that she had stolen money from Harry. Even though he didn't want to really know he couldn't help but wonder just what else she has done that he didn't know about.

Severus watched Lucius and Hermione with a small smile on his face. He was happy to see his best friend out of Azkaban finally. He knew that Lucius would kill anyone who dared to try to hurt Hermione. He sighed as he thought about the potions that he needed to brew. He wanted to brew several stronger potions in order to help Hermione heal quicker. He didn't like seeing her in pain.

Narcissa smiled softly as she watched Lucius with Hermione. She was very happy that he was out and where he belonged finally. She couldn't help but wonder if Hermione felt as safe as she looked like she did while she slept against Lucius. She knew that Lucius would not let anyone near Hermione that could possibly mean to harm her. She could only hope that they came up with a fool proof plan to keep Hermione safe because she knew that if Hermione were to be hurt again that nothing could keep Lucius from killing whoever hurt her.
Her smile grew as she saw Lucius run his fingers through Hermione's hair. She knew that was his way of making sure that Hermione felt comfort while she slept. She sat back and just watched as they waited for everyone to get back and for Hermione to wake up once again.
