Chapter One

Prologue.

September 19th 1979

Antonin Dolohov was pacing the floor of his sitting room. He was eagerly awaiting the birth of his daughter, he had been thrown out of the room by the mediwitch in charge of delivering his baby. He heard Amelie scream again and was on the verge of storming her bedroom mediwitch or not when the mediwitch called for him. "Lord Dolohov you are required" the short plump witch said. Antonin all but ran to his wife's side. "You're doing great, I need you to push one more time." He heard the mediwitch tell Amelie. Amelie grasped his hand, nearly breaking it and pushed. Mia Madeline Dolohov came into the word screaming.

Mia was such a beautiful baby Antonin thought. She had chocolate brown eyes and sandy brown hair with little curls starting to show. She had ten perfect fingers, slender like Amelies and ten perfect toes. She had a cute button nose and a beautiful smile. She was his pride and joy. The only thing he regretted was that she was born during the dark lords reign, not that she had anything to worry about being a pureblood and part of the sacred twenty eight.

Everything changed the October after her first birthday. Halloween night to be exact. The dark lord had heard of a prophecy of a boy born in July and had decided to get rid of him before he could oppose him only his plan backfired and the dark lord vanished without a trace. Mysteriously beaten by a one year old child and no one knew how it was done.

That night there was a raid on his house. Mia was with Lady Malfoy and her son Draco. Antonin came home to find his mansion on ruins. "AMELIE, AMELIE" he shouted frantically running through the house his heart dropping into his stomach as silence answered him. He ran into Amelies room and his knees gave out at the sight before him. He dropped to the floors, loud wails of anguish escaping him.

Amelie was laying on the floor, blood covering her perfect frame. She was white as a sheet and rasping for breath. "Amelie, my love hold on. I'll call for help." He said to her tears running down his face. Amelie, shook her head and motioned to him to come to her. Every movement causing her pain. "Antonin.. It's.. No.. Use.. Promise.. Me.. You'll.. Keep.. Our.. Mia.. Safe.." She rasped, each word becoming more difficult for her to say. When she was met with silence she spoke again. "PROMISE.. ME.. Antonin.. I.. Love.. You.. Both." She finished with difficulty. "I promise my love" Antonin managed to get out before the light faded from her brown eyes and she was gone forever.

Antonin laid there for hours holding the lifeless body of his wife. Screaming at the world, his pain and anguish overcoming his senses before he could get up and floo to Malfoy Manor. Lucius was the first to see him "Antonin my friend… " he trailed off at seeing Antonins red eyes and pale face, his shirt covered in Amelies blood. "Dobby" Lucius called. A small house elf appeared, "Master" the creature said. Bring me a shirt that would fit Lord Dolohov and two glasses with a bottle of my best firewhiskey. The house elf disappeared with a small pop only to reappear a moment later with the items Lucius required. "Thank you, Dobby. You may go." The elf named Dobby disappeared again.

Lucius handed Antonin the light blue T-shirt and told him to change. Antonin numbly took the shirt and went into the bathroom, stripped his white blood stain shirt off and slipped on Lucius's shirt over his head. When he had the shirt on he walked back to Lucius who guided him into his personal office, shut the door and cast a locking and silencing charm. Lucius looked at his oldest friend and asked "What happened Antonin. Where's Amelie?" Lucius watched as the moment Amelies name came out of his mouth Antonins shoulders started to shake and he looked Lucius in the eyes, tears forming and whispered "Dead."

"Dead, what do you mean dead? How, when?" Lucius didn't know what to say. He was shocked. Antonin turned to Lucius and said "Raid on the mansion. Amelie was caught in the crossfire. It was already too late when I got there. I only had a few moments before she.." His voice breaking. He couldn't say it. He couldn't make it true. Lucius grabbed the other man into a bear hug where they both held onto each other silent sobs wracking their bodies.

Amelie's funeral was held the next week. A simple affair with just Mia, the Malfoys and himself. Shortly after Antonin sat in Lucius's office drawing up a marriage contract for Draco and Mia as was the old way. They sealed the contract with blood. The Malfoys were the only ones that knew of his plan.

He was going to send Mia somewhere where she would be safe. Away from him and away from the aftermath of the war. He couldn't be sure the dark lord was gone. There was no body, no indication he had actually died. Antonin didn't believe for a minute he was gone. Mia would be safer elsewhere so that when the dark lord came back he couldn't use his daughter as a pawn to control him. He would play it safe. Not only that but it hurt to look at her when she reminded him so much of Amelie. He would plan and he would make the plan perfect and put it into play. He sighed sadly he would miss her when she was gone.

June 6th 1982

Antonin had been following a muggle couple around for days now using a disillusionment charm. Jean and Richard Granger, the couple he had decided his Mia would be safe with. He followed them home and stunned them. Using an expansion charm he set up a room for Mia, he placed his darling two year old in the toddler bed. He watched her sleep for a moment and before he lost his nerve and went home points his wand at her sleeping form and said "obliviate" he removed all memories of himself and Amelie and locked them away behind a strong memory charm that he could remove when the day came. He gave her one last kiss on the forehead before leaving her room. He then moved on to Jean and Richard obliviating them and placing two years of memories within their minds. He left photos of Mia all over the house, muggle photos of course. He took a photo of him, Amelie and Mia flicked his wand at it and it became a photo of Jean, Richard and Hermione.

Hermione Jean Granger would be Mia's new identity and it was a safe identity as he was the only one who knew this name and the parents names. He apparated back home and removed the memories of Mia from his mind, placing them in a vial which he gave to Lucius for safekeeping. No one would mention Mia for another fifteen years when poor Draco would get a shock of his life.

Present Day.

Lucius floo'd into the Dolohov Mansion, it had been many years since he last stepped foot inside of it. It looked completely different than what he remembered but Antonin had remodeled it after Amelie died, not wanting the memory of her to haunt him every time he came home. Lucius grasped the vials he had inside his robe pocket. A house elf greeted him. "This way Lord Malfoy. Master shall see you in the sitting room." Lucius followed the elf and took a seat on the black couch and waited for Antonin to make his appearance.

"Lucius, to what do I owe this visit?" Antonin asked cheerfully.

"I can't just want to see my old friend?" Lucius said cheekily.

"You can but that is not the reason you are here is it?" Antonin said.

"No, my old friend it is not." Lucius said sadly.

"Well, then what is it?" Antonin asked worry lacing his voice.

"Many years ago, my oldest friend left me with a task. A task that was only to be completed after the dark lord was gone and it was safe. The time is now Antonin. It is time to complete the task you gave me all those years ago." Lucius reminded his friend.

Lucius reached into his pocket and pulled out the vials of Antonins memories. "These belong to you, it is time to restore them back to their rightful place." Lucius said.

Antonin looked at his friend and nodded. If Lucius said he had tasked him to do this then he believed him even if he didn't remember. Lucius carefully opened the vials standing them up on the table, pointed his wand at the vials and said Memorium Reuocator and flicked his wand at Antonin. Antonin watched as the silvery liquid disappeared and suddenly he grasped his head at the shock of his memories returning to their rightful place. Antonin dropped to the couch as the last memory clicked into it's place, he put his face in his hands and groaned "Oh, Mia, what have I done." tears freely falling down his face. Lucius left quietly, knowing Antonin need time alone to sort through all the memories and feelings assorted with them. He wouldn't intrude on his friend.

Narcissa Malfoy was delighted. Draco was coming home for the first time since the war ended. He had said in his letter that he had an announcement to make. She hoped he had gotten the promotion he so wanted and quite frankly deserved. She busied herself by making sure everything was perfect for his first dinner home. With a swish the flames in the hearth turned green and Draco stepped through. "Mother" he said kissing both her cheeks before turning to Lucius "Father" giving him a hug. "I have a guest coming in a few moments, if you don't mind." Draco said cheerfully.

"Of course not Draco" Lucius said. A few moments later another swish and a woman with strawberry blonde hair stepped through. She was wearing designer robes the shade of midnight. "Mother, Father may I introduce Miss Astoria Greengrass." Draco said smiling at the young witch. Unbeknownst to him his parents were shooting worried looks at each other before schooling their features into a calm mask. "It's lovely to meet you Miss Greengrass. Lucius said taking her hand and kissing it. "May I show you to your seat? He asked. Guiding her towards the table when she nodded.

Once they had finished dinner Draco stood. "Mother, Father, I have an announcement to make. I have asked lovely Astoria here to be my wife and she has blessed me by saying yes." Draco said grandly looking at his parents expecting to see them smiling and congratulating him but instead he was confused when he seen their faces drop.

Lucius was the first to recover. "Miss Greengrass, I apologize for our reactions but I'm afraid that this marriage can not happen. Draco is promised. Please don't blame my son for this as he was not aware of his contract. I apologize for any grievances this causes you." He said coolly. "Draco, please escort Miss Greengrass home and return here immediately, we have much to discuss." He ordered his son. Draco nodded at his father, anger marring his features. He walked over to the fireplace and threw some floo powder in and said Greengrass Manor and disappeared with a shocked, crying Astoria.

Lucius threw himself down onto the couch and looked over at his wife. "I knew we should have told him. I knew it! But I was under a vow not to mention her until Antonin got his memories back. Luckily it wasn't a moment to soon or this would be a lot harder." he exclaimed. Narcissa nodded. "I know dearest" she said grimly.

Draco floo'd back into his childhood home.

"Father, explain." He said angrily.

Lucius looked up at his son wearily. "It's a long story boy. You might as well pour yourself a drink and sit down." He told Draco who set about doing just that. Manners made him thrust a tumbler of firewhiskey into his father's hand while taking a seat nursing his own. Draco looked at his parents expectantly. "Well" he said.

"The year you were born my dear friend Antonin also had a child. A girl he named Mia." Lucius started as Draco cut him off. "Dolohov doesn't have any children father. I would know if he did. He basically lived with us for a while." Draco stated. Lucius waited for him to finish. "Would you like to hear what I have to say or would you rather interrupt me with what you think you know boy?" Lucius said scolding his son. "Sorry, Father. Continue please. Draco said feeling scolded.

"As I was saying Antonin had Mia, the two of you were best friends, nearly inseparable when tragedy struck, Antonin's lovely wife Amelie died during a raid, the same night the dark lord vanished. Antonin was out of his mind with worry for his daughter sent her to live with muggles. Tasking me to keep his memories of her and her whereabouts safe until we were sure it was safe. I took a vow that we would not speak of her until his memories were returned and luckily I did that earlier tonight. You and Mia are contracted by blood to marry. Neither of you will be able to marry another, if you tried it would only embarrass the two of you." Lucius said.

"So, you're telling me I'm bound to marry a girl that I don't remember? Where is this 'Mia'?" Draco asked his father.

"Yes, you are. However, Mia's whereabouts are not known. I spoke with Antonin before you came back. He can remember everything but who he left Mia with, what he renamed her as and where he left her. Technically speaking she's missing." Lucius informed Draco.

Draco groaned. This night couldn't get any worse. He thought. Narcissa came gracefully into the room with the two boys and handed Draco a photo. Draco looked down at the photo watching two little tykes holding hands, stumbling around trying to get used to walking. He smiled at his baby self. He looked closer at the girl, Mia. There was something familiar about her but he couldn't place it. She had dark chocolate eyes and golden caramel highlights throughout her sandy brown hair. Her hair was curly and she had a pretty smile. He smiled again as a hazy memory hit him.

"Raco!" The little tyke said stomping her foot, trying to get Draco's attention. "Yes, Mi Mi" Draco's smaller self said. "Luv u" Mia told him and hugged him. Draco could see his two year old self blush. "Wuv u" Little Draco replied.

Narcissa handed him another photo. "This was taken the day before she left." she told him. It was labeled June 5th 1982. Draco watched as Mia hugged his three old self. She was dressed in simple white party dress with her hair down showing her wild curls. He was wearing little suit. Little Draco hugged Mia back a smile ghosting his lips.

"This was taken on my birthday." Draco said a little choked up. He didn't understand why he was choked up over a girl he vaguely remembered, but the nagging feeling he knew her from somewhere kept getting stronger the more he looked at the picture.

"Yes, it was." Lucius said. "Antonin didn't want Mia to miss your birthday. He said it would be the last time she got to see you for a while and he wanted to give her a last day of fun." He explained.

"Do you still have your green stuffed dragon, Draco." Lucius asked smirking, knowing the answer.

"Yes, on the shelf above my bed, why?" Draco asked.

"Mia gave that to you that day. We've never been able to separate it from you since." Lucius said laughing. Draco shook his head, smiling
