Chapter Thirteen

....“I’m sorry Draco, Hermione; I am afraid I am going to have to cut our visit short.” Narcissa’s eyes were flashing with rage. She stood and disapparated from the room without waiting for their reply....

Narcissa Malfoy apparated directly into her husband’s study, her face tensed in anger.

Lucius was startled by her sudden appearance and he spilt some of the brandy that he had been pouring into a glass. He glared at his wife “What do you think you’re doing? Look what you made me do!” He waved his wand at the spillage and it disappeared, “You know I don’t like people barging in uninvited!”

“Yes, well, I don’t like people killing my grandchildren!” Narcissa retorted

Lucius paled – or he would have if he had any pigmentation in his skin to begin with – then masked his face with a sneer “What are you on about now, woman?”

“What am I on about?” You could almost see the sparks of rage flying off her, “What am I on about? I’m talking about you performing a miscarriage charm on Hermione Granger, causing her to lose one of Draco’s children! YOU KILLED DRACO’S SON!” She screamed.

Lucius stood up and growled “It was a bastard half blood, he should be thanking me!” Narcissa drew her wand and yelled “How dare you?! After all the miscarriages I have had over the years! You ....” Her voice trailed off and her eyes widened as she saw the look on Lucius’s face at the mention of the miscarriages that she had had.

“No” She shook her head in disbelief, tears coming to her eyes, “No” she said again; her voice choked. “You wouldn’t have” She closed her eyes for a moment “You did, didn’t you! You killed our babies! You killed your own children!” Her voice was quieter now as she took in this information, her face grief stricken.

“They were girls!” Lucius spat “I refuse to let the Malfoy heir be a female!”

“And what about after we had Draco? Why those children? You had your male heir then! Why?” Narcissa sobbed.

“Well,” Lucius started “I realised how much effort went into raising just one child, how much trouble children were. I didn’t need any more: I had my heir.” Lucius shrugged as if this was a perfectly reasonable excuse for killing his unborn children without even consulting his wife.

“And now? Why kill Draco’s child? Why kill the next Malfoy heir?”

“I may not care so much about other people’s blood anymore, but I don’t want the Malfoy line tainted. I was willing to overlook this fact if they were married but there was no way I was going to let the Malfoy heir be both a bastard and half blood. That would have been too much!”

“Well” Narcissa sneered, “I hope their remaining child is a girl just to spite you Lucius”

“What?” Lucius asked, clearly confused. “He hasn’t gone and gotten her pregnant again has he?” He asked in disbelief.

“No, turns out they were having twins! And your curse only hit one of them. Of course, I was too shocked about the murder of my grandson to ask about the sex of the surviving child.” Narcissa explained to him her voice full of venom. “And don’t you DARE try to harm that one! Trust me, you will regret it if you so much as poke Hermione’s stomach with your wand!”

Lucius stood there look mad, “TWINS” he spat angrily to himself as Narcissa strode towards the door. She stopped in the doorway and turned back to Lucius.

“Oh” she said as though only just remembering something else, “I want a divorce.” She said before slamming the door behind her leaving a shocked and angry Lucius Malfoy in her wake.

“I need a place to stay” Draco looked up as he heard is mother’s voice coming from the fireplace, “Can I stay here for a few nights?” Narcissa asked her son.

He looked at Hermione who was resting her head against his shoulder; after Narcissa had gone they had stayed on the couch comforting each other without saying much.

Hermione shrugged as she sat up, and Draco turned back to his mother, “Uh, sure I guess so.”

A moment later Narcissa stepped out of the flames with a large suitcase in hand. “You’re father and I, are getting a divorce.” She said to her son after brushing soot off her expensive robes.

Draco looked surprised but before he could say anything Narcissa spoke again; “Please, tell me you’re surviving child is a baby girl?!”

There was a moment’s pause before Hermione confirmed, “Yes, yes we’re having a little girl.”

Narcissa sighed in relief and smirked to herself “Serves Lucius right.” She chuckled at the irony of it. “So where will I be sleeping?” she asked, indicating that her suitcase needed to be put away. “And I refuse to sleep on a couch” she added seriously.

“Uh,” Draco and Hermione looked at each other; they didn’t have a spare bedroom.

“I suppose” said Draco slowly, a smirk forming on his lips, “You will have to sleep in my room” His smirk became a grin as added “I will just have to sleep with Granger in her room.” He stood up and took the suitcase from his mother, he showed her to his room. As he grabbed some spare clothes and things for himself he saw his mother scrutinising the small room; she was clearly not happy with it. He wondered why she was staying here. She could have stayed with any one of her friends, who all lived in houses which came close to the Manor in elegance and style. He supposed she was here for same reason he had stayed with the Weasley’s rather than any of his friends.

Draco dropped off his clothes in Hermione’s room on their way back to the lounge room. Narcissa asked him when they were sitting back around the small coffee table; “Do either of you have an owl I could use?” They both nodded; Hermione had gotten herself an owl after Crookshanks had passed away last year. Narcissa pulled out her wand and summoned some ink, a quill and some parchment and she set about writing a quick note to her soon-to-be-ex-husband.

Lucius,

In just under five month’s time, we will be the grandparents of a beautiful, Bastard, Half Blood, little Girl.

Isn’t that just marvellous news?

Wishing you all the worst

Sincerely,

Narcissa Malfoy nee Black

P.S. I will be contacting my lawyer tomorrow; I suggest you do the same. I’ll see you in court.

That evening Hermione cooked lasagne for dinner. She and Mrs. Malfoy actually got along quite well – which was a surprise to them both. None of them mentioned babies or miscarriages or marriage again that night after Narcissa told them about her confrontation with Lucius.

After desert – homemade apple pie – Narcissa bid them goodnight, and left Hermione and Draco alone together in the quiet kitchen.
