Chapter 6
Malfoy Manor
“Draco what is the meaning of this?” Narcissa practically yelled at him, she could see her son was upset. She hadn’t seen him this upset ever so she knew whatever it was, it wasn’t good.
“HOW ABOUT YOU ASK HIM MOTHER!” He yelled not caring who he was yelling at.
“Son, how about you take a few moments to compose yourself and come back” Lucius said, hoping that he could fix it before his wife found out what he did.
“NO father I will not come back, because after I leave this time it will be the last time I ever set foot in this place. You took my choice away, ruined my future with the woman I love. And for what!? All because she wasn’t the perfect pure blood bride? How well did the one you picked for me work out huh? She cheats on me all the time!”
From the look on his fathers face Draco knew that Lucius had no idea.
“I did you a great service son, I got you away from the mudblood before she could ruin our family name, you couldn’t have married her Draco. You are too good for her. She is beneath you, she is dirty and filthy and would have rui—“
Draco cast a silencing spell on his father. He walked up to him and shoved his wand into the side of his throat.
“If you ever do anything to harm Hermione, or my children” at that Lucius’s eyes began to widen in terror and disgust “oh yes father, you may not know this but the lovely Miss Granger has already “sullied” the Malfoy line with not one but two children.” Draco laughed knowing his father was beyond furious now.
“Draco, my dear boy please tell me you’re not joking” his mother said barely above a whisper, he turned to her and could see the tears in her eyes.
“Yes mother, I’m not sorry that the Malfoy line isn’t pure either” he faced back to his father and shoved his wand even farther into his throat. “If you so much as come near Hermione or our children, send someone to harm them or take my memories away again I will kill you father, and it will not be with a quick Avada. I will make you suffer, it will be long and drawn out and you will come to regret ever crossing me.”
With that Draco withdrew his wand, took the spell off Lucius and began to leave the study.
“Draco son, if you walk out that door you will no longer be a Malfoy, I will take all your inheritance away and you will be left penniless” Lucius yelled.
“Father, do what you must, but I will be divorcing Astoria. I have never loved her and will never come to love her.” And with that Draco disapparated and landed in the ally behind St. Mungos.
Back at the Manor
Lucius went to stand up to grab himself a drink but realized he was stuck to the chair, he looked up at this wife and knew he was in for a mouth full.
“LUCIUS MALFOY! HOW DARE YOU”
Smack
He rubbed his cheek where his wife had just slapped him.
“I can not believe what you did to our son, you really put your own selfish needs above your son's happiness again. You took his choices away again. You are beyond disgusting. How could you do this to him, to me, to us?” She was now crying, she could not understand how her husband could do this to her son.
“I swear on my magic Lucius, if you even think about disinheriting your son, you will lose me as your wife. I will divorce you. And if you harm a hair on that Hermione Granger’s head, or our two grandchildren’s, Draco will not be able to find you when I am through with you, do you understand”
“But Cissy, she’s a mudb—“
“If you finish that sentence I will personally rip out your tongue. The world has moved on dear husband, I suggest you do too, or you will be left behind. Alone. Without a family.” And with that she walked out of his study slamming the door behind her. She knew family was everything to her husband, she just hoped it would be enough. The only thing she could think of now were her two grandchildren, she needed to meet them.
Back at St. Mungos
Draco rushed back to Hermione’s room and was surprised to see no one else had been in since he left. He quietly opened the door and could hear her soft voice, he knew it anywhere. She laid there in bed looking like an angel with his two beautiful children laying at her sides. He didn’t think he'd ever seen such a beautiful site.
She must have felt eyes on her because she looked up over at him. She smiled at him and waved him over.
“Please sit Draco, we have much to discuss. Lyra, Leo there is someone you need to meet.”
Lyra was the first one to sit up and she just stared at Draco for what felt like forever “You look like Leo, brother that man look like you see” she pointed at the hair on Draco’s head then to her brothers. Leo looked up at that and just stared at Draco.
“Leo, can you say hi to Draco, he is very excited to meet you” Hermione smiled down at her shy boy, her breath caught in her throat when little Leo threw himself at Draco and wrapped his small body around Draco’s.
“This daddy right? Other kids at school have daddy but we don’t. You me and Lyra daddy?” Draco tried to fight back the tears but it was no use, all Hermione could do is stare, as she also had tears running down her face. Draco pulled the little boy closer to him and hugged him tightly, as if he would disappear if he let him go.
Leo giggled “too tight daddy, let me go” he giggled some more, Draco and Hermione both chuckled at Leo and Draco loosened his hold on him.
Draco looked Hermione in the eyes and all he could do was smile. He missed his witch, he knew over the last few years that something seemed wrong, that part of him was missing, and now he knew what. His family. He stood up, Leo still in his arms and made his way closer to Hermione. He sat right beside her in the bed and took her free hand into his.
“Hermione, I promise you I will never leave you again. Salazar I missed you woman”
She giggled and a blush took over her cheeks. She knew Draco was it for her and she never thought she would get him back. Just as Draco was about to lean in and steal a kiss an unexpected visitor busted through the door.
“Mother, what are you doing here?”
