Narcissa hummed a lullaby as she knit the socks for her grandchildren. She was sitting in their open balcony attached to her bedroom. She looked content and smiled as she sang. Lucius eyed her secretly, his lips widening as a smile crept on his face. He was seeing Narcissa happy after a long time and he couldn’t bring himself to disturb her. Narcissa however was known for her sharp senses and she immediately stopped singing and spoke, "Are you going to just stand there the whole time I sing or are you going to join me for tea Lucius?"
Lucius chuckled at her and come forward to sit with her on the chair opposite to her," I see that you are very busy and very happy judging by your singing." He smiled at her indulgently.
Narcissa smiled brightly and replied, “And why shouldn't I be. I am going to be a grandmother soon and I am going to have three grandchildren Lucius...three! Can you imagine how much noise will be filled in this house? I will not have time on my hands looking after my grandbabies. Oh! I am so blessed right now."
Lucius smile dropped when he heard her words, “I know you are very excited about the babies Narcissa but you need to be cautious. They may not be here."
Narcissa looked at him with suspicion,"What do you mean Lucius? You better not be playing any games here. I want my grandbabies and I don’t care of they are halfblood or not. If I come to know that you have tampered in any way with the birth of my grandbabies..."
Her glare was enough to send Lucius the message and he raised his hands up in surrender,"Narcissa relax. I want the babies to be born as well. I know they will be half blood and I do not care especially since Draco and Hermione are soul bonded. The magic has made its choice and we are no one to dispute it. I would be a fool to do so. But I am just letting you know that may be Hermione will not favor living with us in the same Manor where she was tortured. She might want to have a separate house where she and Draco will live with the babies."
Narcissa pressed her lips for a minute and then added,"Fine by me. I will go and live with them till the babies are at least five years old."
Lucius looked flabbergasted at her and spoke,"Live with them! but what about me? How am I supposed to live all alone in this huge manor! No Narcissa...I will not live without you. You will have to stay with me and go to the babies only if they need you."
Lucius pouted like a child to which Narcissa hissed,"In that case Lucius, I guess you will have to find a way to keep me in the manor and find Draco and Hermione a place close enough for me to visit them regularly without much travel." Lucius tried to protest but saw the determined look on her face and closed his mouth.
They remained silent before Narcissa spoke again,"Do we know where Astoria is? I fear that the girl never had much affection for us from the start. Only Merlin knows what made her do the things she did. I mean we were good to her even if she wasn’t from the sacred twenty eight. We gave her everything and yet I could feel no love from her towards us or Draco. I feel we made a mistake choosing her for Draco twenty years ago."
Lucius nodded gravely,"I certainly did when I thought that she would forget her old life and build a new one with Draco. I was wrong. I might be the reason she still holds a grudge against us."
Narcissa looked at him with a puzzled face,"What do you mean her old life Lucius?" Lucius told her how he had seen her with David the day he died. By that time they had chosen Astoria as Draco's bride. So he blackmailed her to forget David and to marry Draco. He never knew that Astoria loved David so much that she would feel angry towards him for spilling David's family's name as death eaters at the trial.
Narcissa looked at him with a stunned expression,"Just how sure are you that she holds a grudge?"
To that Lucus told her how he had sent a man to watch Astoria and how she had an affair with the doctor and might have got Hermione pregnant with Draco's sperm. Narcissa gritted her teeth in anger at being kept in dark,'"Lucius, Do you have any idea what you have done? You should have let me know about this earlier. Now she is gone. A witch who has revenge on her mind has gone out of our hands. There is no telling what she can do. Merlin! What if she decides to hurt Draco or Hermione or worse their babies? Lucius we should involve the aurors. Oh! How blind I have been to her acts. She was simply looking for a way to destroy our family! And I sat with her for lunch and dinner everyday while she planned to rip my family apart. Merlin! Have I lost my touch? How could I not recognise her true character? Lucius you need to do something. Something doesn’t feel right to me. Please call the aurors."
Lucius shook his head," Draco does not want the aurors involved till the babies are born.'"
Narcissa frowned and asked,"Lucius what if she decides to use black magic? You know we have lots of dark artifacts hidden from the aurors. What if she has taken some of those? have you checked if all are there?"
Lucius frowned as well,"You are right Narcissa I havent checked them for a while now. I will do that right away. How stupid of me to not consider that. Since Astoria is legally his wife, the manor would allow access to her as well. I will get back to you once I know for sure nothing is missing." Lucius left hurriedly after kissing Narcissa's troubled forehead. Narcissa resumed her knitting but her mind was full of thoughts about Draco, Hermione and their babies.
Astoria read Draco's letter with wide eyes not believeing what he was saying to her. All of her rage came back wih a vengence.
Astoria,
I write to you hoping that you are the one that reads it. I have made it so by performing the blood charm on it. I know you are angry Astoria. I also know that my father might have been the one to have enraged you so. I talked to Pansy and she told me about David. You never spoke to me about him. I can understand the grief you must have felt when he was killed. We all lost friends during the war.
I know that you did not agree to this marriage out of love or respect. I came to know about this recently when my father had you followed. He knows about your affair with the doctor. And I am guessing that you already know that the babies are not ours but mine and Hermione's. Yes Astoria, there are babies. Three of them to be exact. I have decided to do the right thing and be a father to them. I do not mind that they are half blood but you know that already. I was ready to accept them had they turned out to be squibs. Father was angry at first but he too has given his acceptance. We will become parents in another five months. I had dreamt this dream for twenty years now and you were a part of it but since your true intentions have come to light I think we can safely say that you and I are over.
I am sending you divorce papers that need to be signed so that we can apply for a mutual divorce. I intend to marry Hermione as she has divorced Weasley as well. We would have never come together had it not been for your scheme to ruin my family. We need to thank you for that because, turns out that we soul bonded when we kissed. I do not love you Astoria and you do not love me either. We have been together as good neighbors for a long time and now its time to separate. Please sign the divorce papers without any objections because I have met your doctor. And even though he cannot remember you or me, he did keep memories of your conversations and time together to blackmail you further. They are in my possession now. Should I feel necessary I will not back down from showing this to the court to get a divorce from you. I am guessing that a time in Azkaban may also be included for you if I do so. Having said all that, I forgive you for what you did Astoria and you need to forgive what my father did twenty years ago.
I saw the wedding ring in your drawer so I know that you never respected our marriage or our vows either. Let us end this now and remain good aquaintances. I apologize for any and all mistakes that I might have made during these past years because I realize that I havent been that much of a husband to you. Having found a soul mate, I know how much pain you must have felt when you lost David but I cannot get him back. Nobody can get him back for you Astoria and you need to accept this truth. Move forward in you life now. David might have wanted that for you.
Looking forward for your response,
Draco Malfoy.
Astoria screamed in frustration as she read the letter. Adrian looked at her in shock at her reaction. She stomped the letter under her feet and shouted, "That bastard! He gets babies and a soul mate while I get prison and a divorce! No....that is not what is going to happen. He cannot force me to divorce him. This is all because of those damned babies. I will show them how easy it is for me to get them apart since I was the one who brought them together. They will regret ever blackmailing me! I will not forgive them. They took my David away! They will pay for that!"
Saying that Astoria ran to her bedroom. Adrian stood there unmoving unable to comprehend what was happening. He was also stunned to see the venom that was coming out of Astoria's mouth. He had never seen her so angry. After she left he picked up Draco's letter and read it. He realized that Astoria did not want Draco to be happy but her words about the babies alarmed him. He kept the divorce papers and the letter safely inside a box and went after Astoria.
Lucius almost ran back to Narcissa and struggled to get his breath back. He was getting too old for this. He spoke to an anxious Narcissa, "The amulet is gone. The one with the power to impart pain to another person without being in their presence. It is dark black magic Narcissa and we would need everything to stop it from working against our children. We have to warn Draxo and Hermione." Narcissa was already on her feet and vanished her knitting work to her room while taking Lucius's hand to go to Harry Potter. If any one could save them it would be him.
Draco smiled as he saw Hermione ask the elves to move the cupboard to a location of her preference. Her room as she called it was their bedroom and he did not begrudge her that. In fact he could not think of anything that would make him mad at her. She was perfect for him. Even her mad habits and incessant need to organise seemed endearing. He thanked the creator for bringing her into his life. He had never experienced so much love and peace since he was born. He felt blessed and was also scared because happiness never seemed to remain for a long time in his life. He eagerly awaited the birth of his babies. He dreamt of the time when he would hold them in his hands and kiss their soft satin skin. Feel their breaths against his cheeks and know for sure that he was at last a father. He walked up to her as she turned to smile at his arrival only to close her eyes in pain and scream a blood curdling scream that made his heart stop as he saw his Hermione fall on the floor clutching her pregnant stomach.
