For the next five days Draco remained home with his family. His father said not a word about being denied entry to the birth of his grandchildren, but said he was very proud of them both. His mother’s eyes glowed every time she looked at him and her grandchildren. She and Carla became closer, as they shared stories of early motherhood and Narcissa helped with the practical necessities, like washing and changing. Draco was amazed to see his mother get her pale hands dirty, but she simply said some tasks were too personal to fall to house elves. The Count Magnis was a surprise. At first Carla didn’t wasn’t to allow him near her or the children, but Draco pointed out that he too was a vampire, and she trusted him with her children, and eventually she relented to a short, closely supervised visit. During that visit he won her over. He was so obviously overjoyed with the children, he was completely unselfconscious, he gently touched their hands and their faces and the smile he showed them was one Draco doubted many others got to see.
“They are perfect, beautiful! What will you call them? She will be a strong girl; you can see her willfulness now in how she studies you, as if probing you for weaknesses. He will be the sensitive one, the velvet glove to her iron fist... Together these two will make great contributions to the world!”
Carla stared at him open mouthed, she wasn’t sure she liked his summation, but it was hard not to be swayed by the worship in his eyes as he looked at them.
“What will you call them?” He asked again.
“Um... we haven’t decided”
“Oh good! A name stays with you all your life, it shapes forever how people see you; it should have meaning. It is not a thing to be decided quickly without thought.”
Carla looked so alarmed that Draco almost laughed.
“You four have much to say to each other, and limited time before Draco must return to school. I will leave you. Congratulations, to you all.” He included the children in his farewell, then leaned to kiss each of them on the forehead before bowing to Draco and Carla and leaving in a swirl of robes.
Carla had tensed when Magnis leaned to touch his lips to her children, but she had remained silent, and Draco took that as a good sign. The Vampire had also had the sense to make his visit short, and left before being asked. Draco thought he could probably sense Carla’s discomfort.
Later that day they lay in bed, the children asleep between them.
“I don’t want this for them,” Carla whispered.
Draco looked at her for a second, confused; “don’t want what?”
“This, being forced into a life they didn’t choose; arranged marriages, serving a madman who’ll as soon kill them as use them, being made to give up their freedom of choice for a cause they may or may not even believe in.”
Draco was shocked, what she’d said could definitely get them killed. It was the first time she’d openly spoken against the Dark Lord.
A second later he realised he agreed. “What other choice do we have though?”
They lay staring at each other, knowing they were on the brink of a huge decision, one that could kill them all, or set them free.
Then suddenly they realised the decision was made; “this puts us against our own parents in the war. This puts us on the other side.”
“Yes and it’s a war we can’t avoid, we have to start playing an active role, we have to fight, because now, we have something to lose. We need to be on the right side, and we need that side to win, or we lose everything, and so do they” their attention returned to the sleeping children, the twins faced each other, their hands twined peacefully.
“I will have to make contacts. You must stay here, pretend nothing has changed, I will seek protection for you and the twins; we must make sure they are safe before we make any move against the Dark Lord.”
