Chapter 13
Once Draco was in classes, Narcissa let herself into Severus’ apartment and was surprised that Hogwarts had worked its surprising magic and had swiftly added a third bedroom.She ordered it painted white immediately and that the Malfoy heirloom nursery furniture was to be polished before it was brought.While she was tempted to visit Baby Witch in Hogsmeade, The Rocking Bear in Diagon Alley and Charlene’s in the Rue de Leon some things had to come first like handling their solicitor Sancus and bringing Lucius around.Lucius was a Veela but he had distanced himself from her since she conceived during the war, likely to protect her but she was sick of it. If she didn’t love the idiot, then she would have taken a cicisbeo or two.How Lucius could be married to the beauty of her year and be so distant was irritating...Draco was far more like her than his father but Narcissa hadn’t the courage since the conception of Draco to seduce her husband.While they had been bonded soon after she sat her OWL exams and was nearly sixteen, Lucius had refused to take her to his bed until she had graduated and even then he wouldn’t agree to consummate their bonding.It wasn’t until she was in morning over her friend and cousin, Regulus that Lucius seemed to thaw towards her.Narcissa had hoped for at least three children, having come from a larger family than Lucius. She had two sisters, three cousins through her Uncle Alphard and two cousins through Aunt Walpurga.Aunt Lucida was so much older and had grandchildren older than Andromeda so Narcissa wasn’t close to her...Lucius was the eldest of his cousins, having twin male cousins and a witch on his Uncle Apollus’ side.Narcissa sent an elf to inform Sancus to meet her in Lucius’ study at once before she used Severus’ office floo to return to her own home.She barked at her personal elf to pack all of her possessions and await orders.Then she let herself into Lucius’ office, intentionally interrupting his floo call with Cornelius Fudge.“My apologies Minister but Lucius has Family business that must be discussed.” Narcissa sighed with a feigned apologetic tone.“Of course, we’ll continue this discussion later Lucius. I hope the news is not unwished for.” Fudge said before the connection closed.“Narcissa what have I said about my study and business?”Narcissa glared, “You’re on very thin ice Lucius, i’ve had about enough of your selfish me-first behaviour. This is supposed to be a partner-ship and I’ve had enough of your ignoring me or Draco when it doesn’t suit you.”A rap came from the door and Narcissa called out, “Come in Sancus.”Once Lucius bookish cousin entered, Narcissa pointed at a nearby chair, “Thank you for coming so promptly. Now Lucius has two choices, he can agree to sign Draco’s bonding contract with minor alterations or I’ll be filing for divorce and full-custody of Draco.”Sancus blinked at her and Lucius sputtered.“On what grounds?” Lucius snapped.“Alienation of affection, emotional abandonment, filial neglect and I’m sure if I told everything to Sancus he could come up with a few more.” Narcissa said airily.“He’s my cousin!” Lucius growled.“Draco’s more my son than yours and he needs someone in our marriage to give a knut for him.” Narcissa retorted coolly, “If you won’t then I will, all you care about is your precious Malfoy reputation and politics. We’ll leave you alone to that, it’s not like Draco needs anything from us now since he’ll be shortly gaining everything he wants, I’ll be suing you for one of the petite maisons in France even if having Lady Muriel as a neighbour wouldn’t be pleasant. I want control of my trust vault and the return of my dowry.”“Talking about divorcing me already? Why?”Narcissa shrugged, “Because you’re too blind, stubborn and selfish to put anyone’s needs before your own. Because of your arrogance, you’re standing on the precipice of losing both of us. Black or not, Lucius I loved you from the time I was eleven. I’ve wasted almost fifteen years hoping you would remember that you’re a Veela and I’m your mate. I tried everything short of deliberately trying to invoke jealousy to gain your attention. Now I’m sick of embarrassing myself, a Black shouldn’t have to beg for affection from their spouse.”“Are you serious Narcissa?” Sancus asked quietly, “Is this what you want?”Narcissa shook her head, “I want to have the man who comforted me when the news of Regulus’ disappearance and death came. I want the man who flooed all of his friends and relations that he was a father. You’ve changed; you’re not the man who I bonded to anymore. I’ve never once denied you my bed or my company, yet you deny me yours daily for fifteen years I’ve been an emotional widow and I’m finished..“What are your demands to avoid divorce?” Lucius drawled.Narcissa smirked, “Simple, you make over Draco’s marriage contract to be between himself and his mate, who is not Harry. You would have realised that if you ever were around. It was too painful to be in this house with you and the older Draco was the less time he wanted to be here either. He refused to let me take him with me on vacation the last few years, because he wanted to work on his brewing skill. Now why would he be so keen on potions, hm?”“I’ll kill him.” Lucius growled storming to his feet.Narcissa threw a hex that lashed him to his chair, “No you won’t. Draco will never forgive you and the way it happened Draco seduced him. Draco was so starved for adult male attention that he imprinted on his godfather as his mate because you couldn’t be bothered with him. With or without your consent, Draco will be bonded to Severus sooner rather than later if I have to go sob in Madam Bones and Aurora’s offices. Now is your pride worth more than your family Lucius? You have exactly ten minutes to choose...”Then she sat primly, summoned her knitting and proceeded to ignore him after casting an alarm charm.“Narcissa I,” Lucius began.“If you are speaking you best be agreeing to my demand Lucius or else be silent until the time is up.” Narcissa said with more conviction then she felt...She didn’t want to leave Lucius but Draco’s happiness was worth more than her own pride at this point.She hoped his pride would bend enough to agree to her demand if only to avoid being gossiped about which he detested in reality.XooooooXLucius stared at Narcissa who seemed very committed to her threat.His baby was with Severus?This was even more inconceivable than Draco being with Potter...He wanted to curse Severus right into the Veil for ever touching Draco.Narcissa wouldn’t actually divorce him would she? It had to be a bluff; no Malfoy had ever been divorced. He would never hear the end of it, especially from his grandmother Muriel.Sancus was scribbling in that ostentatious way of his.“I can’t believe you would dare consider writing up divorce proceedings against me.” Lucius hissed.Sancus looked up, “I’m sorry cousin, did you say something?”“You’re a Malfoy.” Lucius sputtered.Sancus raised an eyebrow, “Yes and?”“You’re under my authority.” Lucius snapped.“Draco’s well-being is in the best interest of the family and my loyalty is always on the side of our family’s best interest.” Sancus said before returning his attention to his notes.Lucius continued to silently fret and fume.That is until he boiled over, “Why in Salazar’s name are you so keen to deal with this now? Why did you come back from your vacation so abruptly without giving any notice?”Narcis set aside her knitting, “Now Lucius there is no call for you to scream at me. I was called back on account of Draco’s poor health. He’s so frightened of you that he came up with this ridiculous farce of being courted by Harry. He was afraid to tell his father he fell in love...he’s been with Severus for over a year and you were too blind to care or notice.”Lucius blinked, “Poor health?”Narcissa nodded, “He fell ill on the train and Severus sent for a healer once they reached Hogsmeade. It seems that our son tried and failed to make an appointment with a healer over the summer.” She shook her head sadly, “All of those donations and your son still can’t get an appointment.”“I don’t see why this has to be settled right now...” Lucius pouted.“Circe Draco’s pregnant Lucius, going on three months now. He fell pregnant about the same time he acquired his Veela inheritance.” Narcissa snapped. “It is for our grandchildren’s sake that I am forcing my hand.”“I’ll turn him over to Fudge for rape!” Lucius spat.Narcissa snapped, “No you won’t, unless you want to be heirless. You know that they’ll kill Severus for it and being a Veela submissive, Draco would kill himself rather than live without his mate. Your line would end, Draco would take his sons to the Veil with him and I would divorce you. You would be left so publically humiliated that no one would bond to you which would make Sancus’ son Terentius your heir, because you would have ended your own line.”Lucius struggled in his bonds and silently fumed, “I can’t hex him?”“You aren’t allowed to hurt Severus in anyway, I think that being a father near his thirty-seventh birthday while teaching and having to keep Draco from falling terribly behind will be difficult enough. They’ll miss out on a lot of their child’s milestones because of school.” Narcissa shrugged.“Draco,” Lucius began awkwardly.“Is legally an adult Lucius, we can’t attempt to force him to obey us without chancing that we could lose him anyway. So is your pride more important than us?” Narcissa retorted coolly.A few more moments of sullen silence and Lucius grumbled, “I’ll sign, I’ll sign. Severus can bond to Draco and I won’t seek any punishment for sullying our son.”Narcissa used a punishment spell that smacked the back of Lucius’ hand as if he were being struck with a tree switch made of air.Narcissa made sure that Lucius signed and Sancus handed her the contract which she placed in her bag.I hope you don’t decide to change your mind Lucius, just in case Sancus I want those divorce papers drawn up.” Narcissa said even as she summoned an elf, “My usual overnight bag send on to Hogwarts, the rest shall be sent on to Severus’.”“Spinner’s End Mistress?” the elf asked.Narcissa snorted, “Sancus put in the contract that all blonde offspring are to be named Malfoys, if there aren’t any then the first born of every pregnancy. Also that Spinner’s Ends is to be sold and the sum resulting from the sale is to be given to Lucius as a Bride Price. Severus is required by contract to open up the Prince main seat, Merrivale which is to be his and Draco’s home.”Narcissa turned her attention back to the elf, “Send it to Merrivale rather.”“Yes Mistress.” The house elf bowed.Lucius scowled, “Cissa?”“It’s my turn to ignore you Lucius, Draco needs me to help him prepare to be a parent. He’s in NEWT courses and will not have time to properly see to it that he has things prepared. I’ll be taking over the nursery and procuring the necessaries, if you want to be part of our lives Lucius, I suggest thinking long and hard about what you can do to prove your sincerity.” Narcissa bowed to Sancus, “I trust you to continue to put the good of the family first.”Then she flounced out leaving the elder Malfoy males behind, she felt a bit terrible for her heavy-handed behaviour but Lucius had it coming and she would not regret pushing him, well shoving him really onto the proper path.Now came the trouble of Harry...One might argue that Harry was not her responsibility but if he couldn’t look out his own best interest then she would have to...That didn’t mean that she would be turning Remus in, rather Narcissa would have to figure out how to get Harry and Remus legally bonded in a manner that would prevent most of the prospective backlash...She was a Black and a Malfoy, she’d come up with something...
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
cullengal101 - Thank you!
starr - I wonder what you'll think of Draco's parents now... Narcissa wasn't meant to come off bitchy.
Jan - Narcissa is a Black, she wouldn't immediately be alright with Draco falling pregnant his first NEWT year especially when she has to know that he wants to be a Potions Master. She's not so much angry with him for being in a relationship with Severus as she is for lying to his father and not being more careful to avoid getting pregnant. If he were graduated she wouldn't care as much, she just wants him to finish properly and a child will cause problems yet she didn't demand that he consider abortion or threaten Severus with legal charges. She's trying to hammer in that he needs to be more responsible now, he has to realise that he's getting older and his parents can't fix everything. He'll have to learn to take responsibility for his mistakes, his thoughtlessness will cause trouble not only for himself but for Severus as well as Harry and Lucius. He has to own his mistake to grow from it...
