Lucius' edition
Lucius Malfoy considered himself a blessed man. He had his fortune, his status, and his beautiful wife. Life could not get any better.
But thankfully he was wrong. It was during the holidays when his loving wife Narcissa announced to him of her pregnancy.
Though a man of his status would never show extreme emotion, he will not deny that when he heard the news he immediately ran to his wife and held her until the next morning.
He was again blessed a child on the way. He was going to be a father.
Though he held no concern for the gender of his child, Lucius knew it was going to be a boy. He does not think this because he is uptight and traditional, but rather because for centuries there had never been a girl to grace the family line. The line consisted of sons eho had sons, who also had sons, and so on and so on.
Even though Lucius was excited to be a father, he also did fear his wife with her hormones changing and he never argued when his wife took an unhealthy liking to a muggle vinegar vegetables called pickles. She especially enjoyed them with a chocolate soft serve. But he would do anything for his wife and her growing bump.
Lucius will deny it to anyone but when his wife let out a gasp of suprise he ran to her side in worry of something being wrong. Then he saw the look of wonder om his Narcissa's face. She grabbed his hand and gently placed it on her bump. He was about to questions his wife's actions until he felt it.
He felt the kick of his child. The physical proof of his child. The kick was strong and he knew their son would be strong. He was in complete awe and looked at his wife with such love.
Months passed and finally the arrival of their child was upon them. That day Lucius loved and feared his wife.
Finally hours later when he was allowed into his wife's room. He saw Narcissa holding a precious bundle. His heart swelled at the site. He suddenly noticed the blanket was pink. Eyes widen, Lucius rushed to his wife's side.
Narcissa turned towards him and showed his child. He gasped when he saw his beautiful little girl with whisps of white blonde hair and delicate cheeks.
Lucius' breath hitched. His little girl was the perfect blend of Narcissa and his late mother, Lucinda Malfoy. His baby girl had the Malfoy hair and could detect his mother's cheekbones. Thank Merlin she did not inherit the sharp, robust Malfoy jawline.
"Lucius." His wife gently called him. "Would you like to hold your daughter?"
Hesitantly Lucius made to hold his new daughter. When she was fully in his arms, Lucius marveled how light his daughter was in his hands. His heart swelled at the sight of his daughter. He swore to always protect his daughter.
Both Narcissa and Lucius welcome their daughter, Lyra Narcissa Malfoy.
The next day there were many people who came to visit his daughter. First was the Black and Tonks family. With an excited seven year old Nymphadora rushing in to see her new baby cousin. Lucius smiled at the awe in his metamorphagus niece, who's hair changed the color pink at the site of her little cousin.
Everyone from Nyphmadora to the new Head of the Black family, Regulus. Though only just eighteen Regulus graciously accepted into the role of head of the Black family after his brother Sirius refused the role. His cousin-in-law looked at Lyra with the look of awe that he had when Nyphmadora was born. Regulus though firm had a soft spot for Nymphadora and same would probably be said for Lucius' daughter.
The last to visit was Lucius' father, Abraxas Malfoy. Abraxas was a cold, firm man who only ever showed emotion when his wife died. Lucius had a sinking feeling that his father would not be pleased with his heir having a daughter instead of a son. But lucius' opinion changed when the stoic look on his father's face instantly fell when his daughter-in-law announced that his grandchild was a girl. She gently lowered her daughter in her father-in-law's hands.
Abraxas stared in wonder at his new granddaughter. The Malfoy family never had a girl born in the family. As he stared at his granddaughter he not only saw his daughter-in-law, but his wife as well. His eyes stared to tear up as Abraxas gently traced a calloused finger over the baby's smooth cheek. He smiled when his little angel let out a small coo.
Lucius smiled at the interaction between his father and his newborn daughter. He knew Lyra already had Abraxas wrapped around her tiny finger. Yes Lucius could truly say that he was blessed.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The years passed with joy and happiness, his daughter was his world and when his wife became pregnant again he was again filled with joy.
When Lyra was eight years old, all three welcomed the twin boys, Hydus Cygnus and Cassius Abraxas Malfoy. Lyra was excited to be a big sister and took on the role with honor.
Three years passed and the day that Lucius dreaded was here. His angel was going to Hogwarts, she will be away from where he can not see her, but he's known this day will come.
He held himself together as him and his whole family guided their daughter to the Hogwarts Express. Lyra hugged her brothers, then Narcissa and him. His wife wished her well and to write as soon as she could. Lucius hugged his daughter, kissed her forehead and wished her well. He also told her to write him when she could and that he did not care what house she ended up in.
Finally Lyra was on the train, she waved out the window with the Parkinson girl next to her. He had to be strong. Turning towards his boys he could see the unshed tears im their eyes. He pulled them both to him and they left the train station.
That night he received a letter from his daughter who wrote that she is in Slytherin house and her roommates were the Greengrass girl and the Bulstrode girl. She also found a friend and academic rival in a muggleborn girl named Hermione Granger. This is good, finally someone to challenge his daughter mentally, he knew a bored Lyra was a dangerous Lyra.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucius knew with all his heart that his father-in-law Cygnus Black was getting revenge on him from his grave.
It was the summer before Lyra's fourth year when he noticed the changes in his daughter's body. Dear Merlin she was going to have her mother's figure.
Narcissa had always been a very curvaceous woman along with the rest of her sisters. Cygnus Black really knew how to grow them. In Hogwarts he noticed that his wife was very beautiful with large breast and large childbearing hips. And now it seems his bastard father-in-law was finally getting his payback for the times Lucius laid a finger on Cygnus' youngest daughter. He can already imagine him laughing in his grave.
Good Merlin! His poor little girl will become a target to all those little bastards. Already Lucius had received marriage contracts from both Goyle and Crabbe, one look at his daughter and all those boys will become hungry wolves.
That evening, the Malfoys had guest that consisted of his father, his good friend Severus, and Regulus. When all of them were at the dining table his daughter came in with both Hydrus and Cassius. And as he stared at his guest, he knew they noticed. Both Severus and his father both looked as if a heart attack was close by, while Regulus had this tight smile on his face. His daughter nor his wife seemed to notice.
When dinner was done with, his daughter excused herself and wished everyone a goodnight kissing her grandfather and both godfathers on their cheeks. Narcissa then led both of his sons to their rooms and bid everyome a goodnight.
Abraxas motioned for the men to follow him lo Lucius' study, the doors were closed and it was Regulus who was the first to speak.
"What. The. Hell."
Lucius saw his father nod is head with a grave look.
"My sentiments exact young Lord Black."
"Lucius why is my goddaughter already maturing?! What are you feeding her? She is only twelve Lucius!"
"Regulus Lyra will turn fourteen in a month."
Regulus looked as if a vein will burst.
"Dear Merlin she takes after Narcissa."
"SHUT IT, SEVERUS."
"Lucius I swear if you sign any marriage contracts for my granddaughter I will beat you."
This comes from the man who uses a cane.
Lucius rubs his temples. After there was a long talk of keeping an eye out for Lyra so that no vermin will haem their angel. It was decided that Dobby will go to Hogwarts with Lyra and keep an eye out for her. It was easy to convince Dobby, he adored Lyra.
The next day found gifts of school robes that were big in the chest area and a lot of turtle necks for Lyra.
Confused Lyra turning towards her father.
"Father what is this? My birthday is not for another month."
"Sweetheart I have no idea, you know your grandfather and godfathers love to send you things."
"Father is this a container of muggle pepperspray?!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Months later the Triwizard Tournament happened, Lucius questioned if the headmaster has gone mad.
Lucius turned his attention to his wife who was reading a letter from their daughter.
"Oh Lucius isn't it sweet almost Lyra got asked to the ball!"
Lucius ripped the daily prophet in his hands.
"Yes, that sweet Longbottom boy asked her to the dance."
Longbottom?! The shy Longbottom boy asked his daughter. Oh well he was just a shy chubby boy. It would be alright and at least those Flint or Potter boys do not have a chance. Nothing will come of the Longbottom boy and his daughter.
The day after the tournament Lucius spoke to soon.
"WHAT?!"
"Dear I said the Longbottom boy has asked for your permission to court Lyra."
"Oh dear Merlin!"
