Two Purebloods ( POV Ernie Macmillan )
Clearly, opting to join D.A. was a stain on his life.
If Ernie could be given a chance to start over, he would be very willing to slap his former self.
The dark Lord in his lifetime, he didn't care at all about the family memories and warnings his grandmother Doris was trying to get him to remember, he just like his father, was completely immersed in the peace of the Boy Who Lived brought.
The first year, as he had hoped, he persuaded the Sorting Hat to assign himself to Hufflepuff, after which the Sorting Hat had sincerely advised himself that all prejudices should be cast aside.
He thought that the Sorting Hat was thinking that he was a standard pure-blood.
He came down and handed the Sorting Hat to the next boy waiting for sorting.
He was completely oblivious to the surprised look on the other boy's face.
Like the Malfoy family, the Macmillan family is an old enough pure-blood family, and has many family members divided into Slytherin, even dating back to the fourteenth century, Macmillan and Malfoy have the custom of intermarriage.
If there had been no war in the wizarding world, this would have been one of those memories that didn't need to be reminded.
" Ernie, dear, what are you thinking ? " A pair of pure white arms hugged his waist slowly with enough tenderness.
Platinum blonde hair.
Draco Malfoy, the one who rescued him from Azkaban.
He had thought that Draco hated him so much when he rejected Draco's friendship and decided to join D.A.
Even though he had humiliated Draco in public.
But Draco never hated him after it happened.
In fact, he had known Draco very early.
The pure-blood circle was small, but the pure-blood with high social status much smaller. Among the circle, the relationship between Malfoy and Macmillan was oldest, that there make he need to get to know Draco, before the two of them were in Hogwarts, they were quite good, even grandmother Doris wanted him to marry Draco, until he was completely influenced by his father, he chose to take the initiative to break off his friendship with Draco.
He remembered that he had praised Granger and Weasley many times in front of Draco, even though he had always known that Draco's grades were always higher than Granger's in the semester, and he had too much to apologize for for Draco.
" You’re thinking about how to love me more. " The gentle tone was mixed with possessiveness towards himself, and the man with platinum blonde hair gently touched his shoulders with his lips.
" When I miss you the most, you can give me that love and anything. " Draco keep expressing his love for him, and Draco was always someone who didn't hesitate to say he loved him.
Ernie couldn't imagine how Draco kept loving him, there were always better marriage candidates in Slytherin, not to mention how many purebloods would be willing to a spouse with the heir to Malofy's manor since Lucuis Malfoy returned to the Dark Lord.
He knew that Astoria Greengrass and Pansy Parkinson were very aggressive about it.
But Draco's obsession with him did make him see the truth.
" As you have brought me the dawn of our own, our children Scorpius and Cygnus, the other master of my manor, my dear Mr. Macmillan-Malfoy. "
After his release, he became Draco's husband, his only spouse, the other male master of the Malfoy manor, and soon he and Draco welcomed their children, the first twins in the Malfoy family, their children Scorpius and Cygnus, he continued to enjoy Draco's endless love and consideration.
The kissing didn't stop, and Draco moved his lips randomly over Ernie's shoulders, neck, cheeks, chin, even the earlobes.
Draco loved him, when he put the ring that once belonged to Narcissa on his finger, he was crying in Draco's arm.
" If I don't have your rescue, will I end up waiting to rot in Azkaban? Or will I be a dispensable item to be traded ? " The slender blond man turned his head slightly, Ernie's hazel eyes Looking sad and confused.
Ernie wasn't a good liar, he was one of the few purebloods who chose to join the Dumbledore's Army to fight the Dark Lord, and like some members of the group, he almost had a lot of prejudice and distrust of Slytherins.
In the beginning, Ernie just wanted to join the D.A. to defend herself, and the return of the Dark Lord obviously terrified a bunch of students.
In the final mission of the Triwizard Tournament, proud Cedric Diggory of Hufflepyff is nearly murdered by the Dark Lord's Apostles, but they witness both Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum being tortured and humiliated by Death Eaters disguised as judges.
In the end, Fleur Delacour with her family all fell victim to the event.
The French girl and her family collapsed in the audience with signs of torture all over their bodies.
The Dark Lord's apostles begin their hunt.
He remembered how Susan cried in the common room for his dead aunt, and he also remembered Hannah's horror when he learned that her mother had been murdered, and not only that, but the number of missing Muggle-borns and Muggle sympathizers was increasing. As more and more serial murders unfolded in the wizarding world, even Professor Burbage, who taught Muggle studies at school, was found dead tragically.
Gradually, it became the core cadre of D.A., along with Hannah, Susan, and Megan.
However, in the sixth year, Justin, following Kevin Entwistle, who was also a Muggle-born student, chose to join Potter's team, completely ignoring Granger's call for a Muggle-born student.
After that, Zacharias refused to continue participating in the D.A., he declared that the entire Smith family did not need to be bogged down by the old man's plans, Zacharias's quit is a wake-up call, he not only caused the power of the entire Hufflepuff House to be divided in two, also make more families to chosen left the organization, Rolf Scamandar was next in line.
Ernie noticed this was unusual, he and Neville had raised concerns about the organization that were theirs, but were not taken seriously by the D.A.
After Hufflepuff's forces were split, Ravenclaw's separation happened immediately. After having the appeal of Patil, Goldstein and Boot, they decided to let the whole Ravenclaw break away from D.A., even Granger and Professor Filius Flitwick to try to win over Ravenclaws, but they didn't Could make young Ravenclaws change thier mind.
" I won't allow this to happen. " silver-grey eyes stared straight at the man in front of him.
The determined look seemed to soothe Ernie's emotions.
" What did you pay to redeem me ? Draco. Is it worth it ? " Ernie couldn't hold back his grief any longer after hearing Draco's consolation, and he wondered what Draco sacrificed for his freedom.
With Lucius Malfoy's past as one of the Dark Lord's close followers, Draco had to do everything in his power to prove that the Malfoy family could turn the helm to Potter's undying allegiance, not just the financial sponsors behind.
At the time, Potter already had several pure-blood loyalists from Nott, Cornfoot, Rivers, Carrow, Wood, McLaggen, Smith, Boot and Bulstrode, and in the Ministry of Magic, he had Percival Prewett-Black to control the situation in the wizarding world for him , he didn't necessarily need Draco's assistance.
So Ernie could hardly believe it when Draco came to Azkaban with his own amnesty.
" It's worth it to redeem you, no matter what the cost. " Draco smoothed the unease from his husband with his eyes.
Draco looked at Ernie carefully. He knew Ernie was an indispensable presence in his life when he was very young. He was disheartened by Ernie's deliberate estrangement, but whenever he thought of Ernie's smile, he would let discouragement swept away.
Turning the entire family into the service of Potter was indeed difficult, father couldn't be the man at the helm who changed the family's fortunes, but he need to become, and luckily he and Theodore had always had a secret and strong friendship.
It's true that he can't save Greengrass and Parkinson, or a few old friends who are being put to death, but he can save his husband, his soulmate, his little star.
" You're the other owner of the Malfoy manor, you’re Papa Ernie beloved our Scorpius and Cygnus, and the only spouse I have ever considered, my partner, another part of me on the tapestry, Ernest Macmillan-Malfoy, you are my everything."
" I love you. " Draco leaned forward and kissed Ernie's lips violently.
Ernie closed his eyes, he met Draco's kiss, and in front of him was his Draco, his husband, the other half of his soul.
