A week after Severus leaves I owl Draco to see if he will help me with the house. After two days of no response there is a knock at the door. I open it carefully to see Draco and Narcissa standing there looking entirely out of place in the dusty old neighbourhood. I move aside allowing them into the house. I close the door behind them and join them in the sorting room.
"Where do you want to start?" Narcissa speaks
"I want to start with this sitting room, the furniture is appalling."
Narcissa nods in agreement and I turn my attention to Draco who is wandering around looking at the bottom floor.
"I can't believe anyone lives here like this" Draco says shaking his head.
"I'm more surprised that Severus is allowing you to change things at all, this house has never been changed. But nevertheless, tell me your plans for the house" Narcissa speaks quietly
"I want new counters and a new table and chairs for the kitchen. Black Marble counters and cherry wood for the furniture. The window coverings through the house have to go, as well as most if the flooring. I want this furniture replaced with black leather and cherry wood, the fireplace changed to marble as well. The bookshelves need to be redone as well"
"So cherry wood and marble throughout. Maybe marble flooring in the kitchen as well?"
Two weeks pass and the kitchen has been gutted and completely replaced. The cupboards and table are now a rich deep cherry wood, the floor is a shiny grey marble and the countertop a black marble, the walls a slate grey. All of the dishes have been replaced and the fridge is now full of food courtesy of Narcissa Malfoy. We now are in the process of gutting the sitting room. All of Severus' books are in stacks in the entryway and along the steps. Narcissa and Draco stand wands out working at the room when there is a knock on the door. I move carefully through the stacks of books and pull open the door.
"Hello my dear" comes Lucius' silky voice. "I've come to help" I step aside granting him access to the house. He strides in surveying the gutted room and then moving to the kitchen.
"You have the Black family taste Celestia" he comments turning to stare at me. I realize what he appears to know and my blood runs cold.
"What are you talking about Lucius?" Narcissa asks confused looking between myself and Lucius.
" I recieved an owl this morning from a friend at the ministry telling me they are checking into the reassignment of things belonging to the deceased death eaters and your sister Bellatrix' vault, funds and property had reassigned themselves to miss Leigh here. As well as those belonging to Tom Riddle."
Narcissa and Draco's eyes fall on me and I struggle to fight back tears and emotions.
"I am not here to cause you problems Celestia, only to tell you the paper will have it tomorrow and to be prepared"
Narcissa stands and approaches me tipping my chin up and looking me over.
"Poor child, I cannot imagine how you felt when you discovered this. Does Severus know?"
I nod, tears beginning to run down my face. Narcissa wraps her arms around me and places a kiss on my forehead. I see Lucius move through the gutted room pulling out his wand and starting the repairs.
"I advise you to stay inside this house until it all blows over Celestia. You will not be safe until it does" he continues as he works on rebuilding the giant fireplace. I nod quietly. Draco stands quietly on the opposite side of the room staring off until Lucius nudges him and puts him back to work.
"If you need anything please let us know" Narcissa smiles gently before turning back to the room. I move to the kitchen to grab myself a glass of water but am overcome with a sudden nausea. I had been having random bouts since I found out i was pregnant eight weeks ago. Draco sees me lean over the sink and comes to my side.
"You ok?"
"Yea, I'll be fine, just nauseous"
"From what?"
"Baby number two" I smile gently.
"Are you serious? Already! And he left you here alone?"
"He needs to work Draco" I laugh. "I'm quite capable of caring for myself"
"Mum, She's pregnant again, can you friggin believe him!" Draco grumbles angrily.
Narcissa looks at me concerned and continues on with the work.
"If you are feeling I'll you can go lay down, we will finish up here Celestia" Narcissa smiles calmly, stopping Draco from attacking me.
I move carefully up the stairs and into my empty bed, the cool sheets soothing my tired body. I close my eyes and fall asleep quickly.
I wake up to Narcissa nudging me, Morgana in her arms.
"Molly Weasley dropped her off, she's hungry and out of bottles"
"Thank you" I take Morgana carefully and begin feeding her.
"May I sit?" She asks quietly pointing at the bed beside me.
"Of course"
"How are things with Severus? Is he treating you well?"
"I get really tired of being asked that question honestly. We've had our disagreements but he's great"
"He is it the sex is?" She smirks
"Annnd the prim and proper is gone, he's great, he's coming around finally and he is a great guy underneath that thick skin" Narcissa raises her eyebrow at me
"Ok, and the sex is fantastic" I laugh. Narcissa smiles.
"I have to admit, I was always curious about that, is he?"
"Big? Yes" I laugh again and she nods.
" I figured so much, he's got one hell of an ego and I never understood that until now." She laughs. Her eyes travel down to the feeding baby and back up to me.
"Where is your baby?"
"She is at home with the elves, it's giving me a break. What about you? You will have two little ones by yourself, are you not worried?"
"I haven't really given it much thought, it's making him happy. Right now that's all that matters"
"You need to make sure you are happy too, I have been through that. I almost lost my son because I followed his ideals to make him happy"
"I've put him through a lot this last little while, and I think there will be a lot more to come. I have been forcing him through his demons and I feel the need to make sure he knows I love him and will do anything for him"
"Just be careful, there are many sides to Severus and some are dangerous Celestia"
"I have been warned, I have also seen some of his dark spots." I move carefully and take Morgana to her bed. I lean over putting her little blanket over her and kissing her on the head. I come back out into my room and Lucius is standing in the doorway.
"The room is finished, I am heading home, but I think someone should be here with you tonight and for tomorrow when the news breaks. You don't know how people are going to take it."
"Draco could stay here with--"
"No, no I'm fine honestly. Other than dropping Morgana off at Mrs. Weasleys tomorrow I'll be staying home, I'll be fine I assure you" I smile climbing back into my bed and snuggling down into my covers.
"I will be by tomorrow morning to see you and make sure you are ok" Narcissa smiles looking uncertain if she is comfortable with my decision. The malfoys leave and the house is silent once again. I close my eyes thinking about all the work to be done on the house and drift off to sleep.
When I wake in the morning Morgana is awake sitting up in the crib waiting for me. She smiles when she sees me, putting her arms out to be picked up. I sit down feeding her thinking about the work for the day. I plan to start the old bedroom, make it ours if all goes well. I go downstairs to take Morgana to Molly's when I notice today's paper on the table. I flip it open and sure enough it's front page news.
**Celestia Snape's dark secret: child of Voldemort and deceased death eater Bellatrix Lestrange**
I appear outside the front door and hesitate before knocking loudly. Molly pulls out the door beaming.
"I'm so glad you're here, I was worried after I read the paper."
"I'm fine, just going to keep to myself for a bit until it settles down, I'm sure this isn't going to be easy news for most"
"So it's true?" Comes Harry's voice from the doorway.
"Unfortunately" I grumble
"I'm sorry to hear that, I'm sure Severus will be--"
"He knows, he has known for awhile. but I need to go, I have a lot to do today"
"I wish you would stay here, just for a little while"
"I'll come and stay for dinner tonight when I pick up Morgana?"
"Ok dear, please be careful today"
I nod and am gone. I appear in the alley across the street from the house and scan the area, nothing out of the norm so I cross the street and open the door. As I step in the house I hear it.
"Crucio" the deep voice yells and I crumple to the floor writhing in pain. I hear the door slam shut before the pain becomes too much and I lose consciousness.
