St. Mungo's

Anthony slowly opened the door, trying his best to be quiet. He poked his head in and saw that Alice was awake and looking very groggy.

He quickly and quietly went to Alice and gave her a gently kiss on the lips "hey baby"

She smiled up at him and then turned her head towards the small hospital crib on the other side of her bed. Anthony walked around the bed and bent down over the little crib. A little bundle of blue blankets and blonde hair lay in front of him.

Anthony bent down and carefully picked up the baby, remembering to support his head as he had been taught when Annabelle was born.

The baby had his white blonde hair, Alice's nose and his grandfather Ron's eyes. When Anthony picked him up he yawned and snuggled into his fathers embrace.

Anthony kissed his forehead and handed him to Alice. He then pulled a camera out of her hospital bag and snapped a picture of them. "Sorry love, I just really wanted to capture the moment before the family mayhem began"

"He's just perfect" she whispered as she too laid a kiss on his forehead. A knock on the door brought the doctor into the room.

"How are you feeling Mrs. Malfoy?" he asked, taking the hand not supporting the baby and checking her pulse.

"I feel sleepy, and exhilarated and just fine" she replied, not taking her eyes off her new son.

"Well the sleepiness is expected, as you know we had to knock you out so that we could do the operation as quickly as possible. I had the baby out within five minutes of you being in theatre and initial tests show no complications and his heart appears to be fine. But if possible I would prefer that no children come into see you at least for the next twenty-four hours, they can carry all sorts of germs that we don't really want him exposed to" the doctor informed them.

"Do you have any questions?"

Anthony spoke up "when can we take him home?"

"I would like both your wife and baby to stay in for a few days, just to make sure that incision heals properly and to make sure there are no affects on the baby" the doctor informed them, "If you would like I can send your parents in now"

Anthony nodded and looked back down at the bundle in his wife's arms.

A few moments later there was another knock at the door and Hermione, Draco, Luna and Ron entered. Luna and Ron immediately went to Alice's side and each kissed her before looking down at the baby.

"That was the longest twenty minutes of my life baby girl" Ron said quietly kissing her on the cheek again. "He's so precious" whispered Luna.

Anthony took the baby from Alice and walked across the small room to his parents. Hermione sat in the only chair in the room and Anthony placed her first grandchild in her arms.

"May I introduce Zachary Orion Malfoy" Anthony said proudly.

"Oh that is beautiful" Hermione said around the lump that had made its way into her throat. She quickly wiped tears away as Draco put an arm around her and sweetly ran his fingers through the baby's blonde locks.

"I can't believe I'm admitting this but he looks like a Weasley" Draco was relieved that he at least had the Malfoy hair.

"Too bloody right" Ron said proudly. Luna shushed him whispering, "don't use that language in front of the baby"

Draco, Ron and Luna each took turns to have a cuddle with the baby and congratulate the new parents before leaving as it was almost breakfast time and Hermione and Draco needed to get back to Annabelle and Ron and Luna had the Weasley clan waiting for news.

The Maternity witch came in and helped Alice to feed the baby, teaching her various ways to hold him and to entice him to latch on and after a short feed the baby was placed into the hospital crib and Alice promptly fell asleep. Anthony transfigured the lone chair into a comfy recliner and tried to have a little nap too.

A couple of hours later the door opening woke him up. His chair was settled straight across the room from the door and he looked up to see his father staring at him.

"Father? What are you doing back here already?" Anthony whispered, quickly crossing the room so that they didn't wake Alice or the baby up.

Draco didn't say anything, just continued to stare at Anthony.

"Father? Is something the matter?"

"Well you do truly look like a Malfoy, even after having a filthy mudblood mother"

Anthony was taken aback for a moment. Just as he was about to ask his father what in Merlin's name was going on, Draco doubled over and his skin began to bubble.

Anthony stood back, and watched as his father disappeared and Lucius stood in his place, the affects of a Polyjuice potion wearing off.

Anthony whipped out his wand quickly but with a snap of his fingers Lucius had it in his hand. "Seven months I have been on the run, hiding in the most undignified places, just waiting for this moment. I will purge my family of the filth brought into it by the damned ministry"

Anthony shoved his grandfather as hard as he could, causing him to lose his balance and hit his head against the wall. The commotion woke both Alice and the baby.

Anthony threw himself across the room and grabbed Alice's wand from her bag. He cast 'Protego' and used all his strength to hold the spell, nodding to Alice to call the nurse. She pulled the cord next to the bed and slowly pulled herself around to move off the bed, the movement causing her pain.

She picked Zachary up from his crib and stood behind Anthony, sweat was pouring from his forehead in effort to hold the spell against his grandfathers' attacks against it.

A nurse opened the door and Lucius immediately grabbed her, holding Anthony's wand to her throat, "Drop your shield or I will kill her" he ordered, venom in his voice.

Anthony's shoulders dropped and he dropped the shield. "Good. Now, drop the wand and kick it across the floor"

Anthony hesitated but did as he was told when Lucius poked the wand into the reddening spot on the nurses' neck.

"Now, bring the child to me" Lucius ordered. Anthony backed up against the wall protecting his wife and child behind him, "over my dead body"

"Believe me, you will end up that way, but first I want the child" Lucius responded. The nurse began to whimper in his grip.

"You will not harm my son" Anthony stated firmly. Lucius bellowed out an insane laugh, sounding truly mad.

A moment later the door opened again "what on earth is all this noise….." it was Alice's doctor. The distraction of him opening the door momentarily garnered Lucius' attention and Anthony grabbed the chair and threw it at him.

It hit his grandfather and the nurse, knocking them to the ground. The young woman scrambled to the corner of the room and the doctor grabbed the wand from Lucius, Anthony grabbing up Alice's from the floor.

After both pointing their wands at the aged death eater Anthony looked to the nurse "Are you okay?". The nurse nodded. "I'm sorry if the chair hurt you" he said to the shaking young witch.

"Only my arm, it's okay, it was the right thing to do" he voice cracked as she answered and she truly began to cry.

Alice slowly made her way to the bed. She sat just on the edge in case she had to move quickly again, she desperately needed a pain potion.

"Now, grandfather" Anthony spat the word out like it was dirt. "Firstly, 'Incarcerous'"

He then sent a patronus to his parents, Harry and Ron the way his mother had taught him, so that it would tell them what happened and to come.

Not even five minutes later Draco and Hermione crashed through the doors, shortly followed by Harry, Ron and Luna.

Luna immediately went over to her daughter, taking the baby and helping her back on to the bed. Hermione saw the nurse still sitting in the corner and went to see if she could help her in any way.

Harry sent a patronus to his office, organizing transportation to Azkaban for their prisoner and Ron took over the watch over Lucius so that Anthony could go to Alice's side and the doctor could check her and the baby over.

"I will get you a pain potion in a moment" he was saying.

….

Two days Harry and Ron escorted later Draco to Azkaban. The Wizengamot did not need any witness statements or time to decide what to do with Lucius. He was sentenced to the dementor's kiss within ten minutes of court convening.

Draco was taken into a large grey room, a single window not big enough for a child to fit through and covered by bars in the corner of the room and Lucius chained to a chair and under an assortment of spells to keep him still and quiet.

"Well father. I didn't ever really think I could truly hate you; I spent so many years looking up to you, then fearing you. But I never thought I could hate you. Now I do" Draco took a moment to inhale a deep breath and continued.

"I am a father. A husband and now a grandfather. And now I know that you never loved us. If you had you could never have done the terrible things you did over the last thirty years. I don't even feel sorry for what is going to happen you" Draco spat in his father's face and walked to the door.

Harry clasped his shoulder as they watched the dementor fly into the room. They watched as it lowered its hood, its grotesque head lowering over the insane wizard's face.

Soon the deed was done and where Lucius was sat moments before, a shell sat in his place. Staring at the floor.

"Come on mate, let's go and see our grandson" Ron said to the wizard who had just witnessed the loss of his father once and for all.

They left Azkaban, took a mall magically propelled boat across to shore and apparated to St. Mungo's where Hermione was waiting for them outside Alice's room.

"Why are you out here? What's wrong?" Draco asked immediately.

"Nothing love. Alice is getting dressed. We can take her and the baby home" Hermione answered smiling and folding herself into Draco's arms and holding him close.

"Are you okay?" she whispered as Ron and Harry walked over to the waiting room to give them their private moment.

"He was dead to me before I witnessed this today" Draco answered. The door opened a moment later, revealing Luna carrying Zachary in his car seat and Anthony pushing Alice in a wheelchair.

"Hospital policy but to be honest I'm not complaining" Alice motioned to the wheelchair.

The group made their way to the entrance of the hospital. Hermione took the baby through the floo. Alice had been told it would be safer not to use the floo as the spinning and risk of falling out at the other end were too great while she was recovering from surgery.

Anthony was taking her via side-along apparation. Harry was going home to his wife and children and Ron and Luna were going to meet Brandon and join them at the manor.

As soon as they arrived home Jessica and Annabelle accosted them. Narcissa, who had visited and met the baby the day previously, was in her room. "Can we hold him? How heavy is he? Oh he's so cute" was among the jumbled noise coming from Anthony's younger sisters.

"Calm down for Merlin's sake, you'll wake him" Anthony scolded them. "Yes Annabelle, when you wash your hands and sit down you can hold him. Jessica we will answer every single question you have just let us past the foyer first"

They slowly made their way to the main lounge and Anthony got Alice settled on the couch and summoned her pain potion from her bag. Annabelle had shot to the bathroom and her hands were still wet when she ran back and sat on the couch.

Alice laughed and cuddled the little girl to her side. She conjured a towel and wiped her hands "can't get him wet now can we" she laughed as Annabelle practically bounced in her excitement to hold the baby.

Alice kept an arm around the little girl and Anthony placed their son into his sisters little arms, Alice helping to support his head. "So…how heavy was he? Mum and dad didn't tell us anything" Jessica asked again.

"Nine pounds ten ounces. Kind of explains why I was as big as a whale" Alice answered, laughing at the look on Jessica's face.

"Oh Merlin, you poor thing" Jessica answered.

"My arms hurt" Annabelle said and Alice took the baby from her, and laughed again as she bounded off to find her toys, she had had her fill of her new nephew obviously.

"May I?" Jessica asked, reaching out with her hands. Alice nodded and held the baby out to her.

Half an hour later Ron, Luna and Brandon arrived at the Manor. Brandon took one look at his nephew and took his twin into a warm hug. "Well done sis" he whispered causing every woman in the room to cry.

"What's wrong with you lot. I can be nice you know" Brandon squeaked out, a perfect copy of his father at the same age.

"Yeah, rarely" Anthony laughed, clapping him on the back.

Hermione, Draco, Ron and Luna watched from the doorway as the next generation welcomed the new baby into their lives.
