What if Hermione wasn't muggle-born, but from a famous family? And what if her great, great something grandfather was Nicolas Flamel? What if Perenelle Flamel had a son, who they hid because of the war? What if they put a spell on their son to hide his magic? And how would Hermione reach to a 620 year old marriage contract with the Malfoy's?
1359
Nicolas was seven years Perenelle senior. They met at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. His hair was brown and straight as they come; his eyes were dark and skin was white, not pale but almost colorless. They fell in love and were later married. He was 32 years old, she 25. He was an alchemist and was well known for it. There are few who didn't know of his wife's beauty. She was petite and blond with heart shaped pink lips, and her eyes were chocolate brown. They lived in France in a small, but quaint neighborhood on a quiet street in a gated community.
They traveled to England to see the Malfoys. Normally The Flamel's were private and kept to themselves, but they had recently found out that they were to have a child. Nicholas Malfoy had contacted them and wanted to write up a marriage contract between their families, if they were to have a female heir. Malfoy's being notorious for gathering strong wizarding families into their family tree; it was thought to be an honor to be considered for such a contract. They had an abundance to give for a dowry; therefore, only the well-known and wealthiest families were considered. While Nicolas and his wife were nervous about the pregnancy, having lost two other babies in the process of trying to have one of their own, they felt confident that this time it was a sure thing.
As Nicolas and Perenelle reached the Malfoy gates they were greeted by a house elf Dobby. Opening the gates, he greeted the guests and escorted them to the manor. As they walked up the steps, Dobby opened the majestic large front door and motioned them inside. Cautiously entering the threshold, Nicolas and his pregnant wife were guided into the study. Putting his hand on Perenelle's back to calm and assure her that everything would be alright, he could feel her let her pent up breath out shakily.
Malfoy and his wife stood on the other side of the room. They were drinking tea and set their cups down as the Flamel's came into the room. Their eyes met each other's and Nicholas Malfoy held out his hand to Flamel's, and kissed Perenelle's hand in a warming gesture. Nicholas offered them seats, which they took. Both wives kept quiet and let the men do the talking, as was customary. Mrs. Malfoy called a house elf, Mitsy, to bring fresh tea for their guests. In a flash Mitsy was back. She came and set the tray down on the coffee table in between the two couples, as they brought out papers where they would write the details of the contract before they all signed. As they all got comfortable on the couches that sat across from each other, they began to discuss the reason for this visit.
"So Mr. Malfoy, I understand that you want a marriage contract between our children, but what if the child should be a boy like your young Lucius?" Nicolas asked.
"Well that's why I would like a different agreement, I feel that our family's joining would benefit us both and be good for the entire wizarding world."
"Yes, I understand, but you still have not answered my question."
"I have a solution to that problem; I was hoping to arrange that the first born girl in the Flamel family bloodline would be married to any grandchildren I may have."
"I cannot agree to those terms. What if they are too far apart in age? I would never ask my daughter or granddaughter to marry someone she could not appreciate."
"Alright how about this? The first born female of the Flamel line will marry a Malfoy heir that is five years apart at most."
"As long as they have both reached the age of seventeen." Flamel countered.
"Agreed." They shook on it and everyone signed the paper that magically wrote down their agreement.
