Draco lunged forward to catch Hermione as she slipped on the floor. Her scream terrified him she cried out in pain for about fifteen seconds before she calmed down. Draco by then, had embraced her totally within his arms holding her near to him praying that the babies remain safe. She caught Draco and hugged him tightly. Her stomach was between them and they stayed like that for a minute before she could speak. Draco had kept on asking her what had happened and to tell him what was hurting her but Hermione had only cried and moaned instead of answering his questions. Finally she sobbed and hid her face in his chest. Seeing her calm down made Draco release his breath that he was unknowingly holding in. She looked into his worried gray eyes and smiled a bit. "I don’t know what that was Draco but it pained a lot. I felt as if the babies were hurting. Now it feels okay but the pain is still there somewhere inside. I cannot make out where but somewhere inside my stomach."
Draco touched her stomach and caressed it. Hermione smiled even though she felt a dull pain radiating inside her. Draco looked at Tink and told him, "Get Harry Potter to Healer Cho's Office now." Tink disappeared in a second after nodding to his command. Draco took her to the floo in his arms. Hermione did not protest because what she felt was shocking to her also. She wanted to know if her children were okay and if Cho could get her some potion to get rid of the pain totally. From the floo Draco and Hermione came into Cho's office directly. Seeing Hermione's pained face Cho immediately directed Draco to the bed inside her office. She then asked him what had happened. Draco explained how Hermione had felt a sharp heated pain inside her abdomen and then it ebbed away after he embraced her but a dull pain is still present. Hermione nodded to his explanation. Cho immediately started to check for her vitals.
Lucius shouted through the floo call for Harry Potter, "Mr. Potter, Harry Potter can you hear me?" Ginny who was reading a book on the couch came forward and answered, "Mr. Malfoy, Harry is in his office right now. Can I help you? "
Lucius thought for a bit and replied, "Something very important is missing from my home. And I also think that my son and Hermione are in danger. Astoria might do something to them. They need protection."
Ginny who fought the second war knew that rarely anything upset Mr. Malfoy so. She nodded her head and said, " I will get him here in five minutes. Please call again after that time." Saying that she placed a floo call to Harry's office. She was surprised to see Harry standing by the fire place with an elf.
As soon as he heard her he spoke rapidly, "Ginny Hermione is at Cho's clinic. Something has happened to her. Draco wants me there. Come join me."
Ginny shook her head and replied, "No Harry, Lucius Malfoy just called looking for you. I wil ask him to join you there that way we can all get to know what he as to say. I will meet you there in two minutes. Bye love!" Harry said bye and Tink took him to Cho's office directly. Ginny called the Malfoys and they agreed to meet Harry at Cho's clinic.
Adrian ran after Astoria and tried to open the door of their bedroom while inside Astoria cast a charm for silence and then went to get her purse. Inside there was a box which encased the amulet. Opening it, she pulled out the amulet which was in the shape of a human body. Searching for a pin inside her purse, she ignored the shouts coming from outside her bedroom. Adrian kept hitting and kicking the door and asking her to open it. Astoria ignored it and taking the sharp needle out of her purse she hit then amulet right in the center where the stomach was located. As she did so, she chanted a spell to affect Hermione Granger. Her name was included in the spell to direct the pain to her. Smoke rose from the amulet right where she had pricked the body. She smiled as she realised that the spell had actually worked. She remained chanting the spell for another ten seconds before Adrian blew the door open with the 'Bombarda' spell and stepped inside. He grew alarmed as soon as he saw the black smoke coming from the article in Astoria's hand. He being a pureblood knew a lot about the affects of dark magic on witches and wizards. Sometimes it was irreversible. He lunged at her and snatching away the amulet from her hand, he threw it in the air and cast the 'incendio' spell burning the amulet away. Astoria was too stunned and took time to regain her balance after Adrian has pushed her away to take the amulet. She shouted at him but it was too late the amulet had turned to smoke by then. Astoria glared at him in hatred, "Why did you do that? I wanted my revenge!"
Adrian stared at her and shouted right back, "What are you doing Astoria? You want revenge from Lucius but you are ready to kill the innocent babies of Hermione simply because they belong to the Malfoys? Have you gone mad? Have you no heart at all! An innocent woman would be dead thanks to you along with her babies and all you can think of is your revenge for David's death?" He shook his head at her in disbelief.
Astoria gritted her teeth and shouted, "They do not deserve to be born. The Malfoys should suffer like I did. Their family must end because they killed my David who was my only family at that time. He was innocent...my David was a good man. He loved me so much, he respected me so much. I will avenge him one way or the other!"
Adrian stared at her, shocked at her words. He slowly came near her and asked in a stunned voice, " Who are you? What have you done to my Astoria? My Astoria would never be happy destroying another life especially an innocent one. She would never hurt another human being. You are not her. And I think it is time we got her back."
Astoria frowned at him and asked, "What do you mean get her back? I am Astoria and I am right here."
Adrian shook his head, "No, you are not her. Granted you have the same body but my Astoria is lost and I need to get her back. You see, I thought I would give you a chance to realize that what you are doing is wrong. That life is a bitch and we need to accept that and move forward but you havent changed. In fact you refuse to change. You are still stuck in the past Astoria and I have waited long enough. I think we need to go to the past and get my Astoria back. Come I need to show you something."
Saying that, Adrian pulled a protesting Astoria out of their bedroom, through the debris layered on the floor because of the door being blown off, to a remote part of the Pucey Manor. They went down the stairs into the lower floor where he opened the door to a dark heavily locked room. He flicked his wand and the room was lit with light. It was an empty room with two huge cupboards and a closed closet. There was a table in the middle and some old chairs which were covered with cloth to protect them from dust. Adrian pulled Astoria in and locked the door. Astoria remained silent and looked at him in anger for an explanation. Adrian opened the locked cupboards and closet with a flick of his wand and the doors opened with a bang. They contained shelves full of boxes labelled with dates on them and then there was a last shelf with his name on it and it contained only a single box. The closet contained a Pensieve.
He looked at Astoria and spoke calmly, " Do you know what these are? These are the memories of my father that the ministry collected when they caught him. After Voldermolt died the death eaters were interrogated and their memories were collected. They have these in their archives. I demanded I get a copy so that I can remember what kind of a brute my father was. I got them after he passed away in Azkaban. I keep them here away from light just a reminder that even I had a family that was evil like the dark lord. You see the last box, those are my memories. I gave them voluntarily to the ministry. I too was taken to the dark lord to be marked as a death eater. Luckily I was able to get out and escape. However those memories still haunt me. I was a coward Astoria. I ran away. I did not fight but you...you need to see these because you are still fighting something that you do not understand fully. My memories may help you. I kept these away because I thought you might not need them. But I was wrong, you need to see these because you are turning into something you are not. Are you ready? Do you trust me to show you the truth?"
Astoria stared at the extended hand that Adrian had stretched before her. She knew without a doubt that she could trust him but she was curious and scared. Yet she did as her heart told her and she caught his hand. Smiling Adrian removed the box with his free hand and opened it after placing it on the table. He then accioed a pensieve on the table and took two vials from the box and poured it inside the Pensieve. They both looked at each other before plunging into the Pensieve.
Ginny directed Lucius to Cho and then she used the floo to go there. As soon as she entered the room she saw Harry with Tink standing outside a cubicle like space which was covered with curtains. She assumed that Cho was checking Hermione there. Harry told her that Cho was examining Hermione. They waited for a few seconds before Narcissa and Lucius arrived. Narcissa asked Cho if she could come in.
Hermione was still feeling the dull pain inside her but it lessened considerably when Draco touched her. He was hugging her form behind while Cho was looking at the information in the air in front of her. Narcissa was relieved when Cho allowed her inside. Hermione smiled at her and Narcissa grabbed her hand and held it to her cheek thanking Merlin that everything was all right. Draco still looked worried. Ginny joined them and after Cho was done she removed the curtains. Hermione was still clothed and Cho told the couple that everything was okay with the babies but there seemed to be a dark presence that had attacked Hermione and was still there causing the pain. It would not go away using potions for pain. As a student of divination she knew the usage of black and dark magic. She informed them that it needed to be removed.
Lucius spoke, " Astoria took a dark magic artefact from our vault. I think she might have taken it when Hermione had not yet bonded with Draco because as of now Astoria would not be recognised as Draco's wife by the manor to let her access the vault. The amulet gives the owner the power to induce pain in any person whose name is spoken with a spell cast around it. I think she might have used it to harm Hermione. Luckily all artefacts that are Malfoys do not harm Malfoys so the babies remained unaffected due to their blood. Also Hermione is Draco's soul mate so she is almost immune. If Draco had been married to her using magic then she too would have remained unaffected. I dont think Astoria knows this. So she used that amulet to hurt Hermione. Whatever pain Hermione feels now can be stopped but we need to focus our magical energies on her. We would need a powerful wizard to focus his positive energies on her to help remove the residual dark magic from her. Mr. Potter this is where you come in. Come on everyone, put your hand on Hermione and chant with me. Mr. Potter please help us."
They all along with Cho, Narcissa, Draco, and Ginny put their hands on Hermione and chanted the verse in latin which asked the creator to remove that which was not ordained by him inside Hermione. As the chanting grew louder, the dark power came out of Hermione and fizzled as Harry used a spell known only to aurors to catch it inside a vial. As soon as that happened Hermione felt normal again. Her strength came back and she felt as if she was light and happy. They stopped tha chanting and Draco and Hermione kissed lightly happy that their babies were safe.
Narcissa fumed, "How can she do that? She is a woman too, does she not feel anything for the innocent babies who are yet to be born?" Lucius put his hand on hers and asked her to calm down. Harry looked at Lucius who realized that he wanted an explanation, " Mr. Potter I know that these artefacts should have been surrendered to the department of mysteries but I doubt that any of those working there would know what to do with them. Take the amulet for example. I can bet you anything that it is back in the vault now. Astoria could only use it because of her marriage to Draco. In anybody else's hands it would not work. I need to investigate and then prepare the right process to destroy most of them. These are centuries old and protected by the strongest of blood wards around them. I am wiling to give you access but I should warn you most of them are charmed to kill outsiders. However if I am given time then I can assure you that I will destroy as many as I can. I will no longer have a pureblood family so it doesnt make sense to keep things that are charmed to hurt non purebloods." Harry nodded while everyone else let a sigh of relief.
