Prologue
July 1st, 2001- The summer after Draco Malfoy's 5th year
"Draco, luv, I have something to tell you," Narcissa Malfoy nervously told her son.
"What?" Draco's short response was unsurprising though Narcissa sighed anyway. Ever since Lucius had been thrown into Azkaban, Draco, unless he was yelling or shocked, had kept his comments short or not said anything at all. She knew he'd never loved Lucius, hell he hadn't even looked up to the man in admiration when he was a toddler like most kids did. So if that was so then what was wrong?
"Mother? Are you alright?" Draco inquired after a prolonged silence.
"What? Oh, yes, dear, you see you aren't an only child," Narcissa informed him calmly. Draco looked at her disbelievingly but remained silent so she continued. "I've only been pregnant once, as you know. What you don't know is that I was pregnant with triplets and the night the three of you were born there was a Death Eater's meeting. Your father came home and said that Voldemort wanted your two sisters dead, he said we had an heir and Voldemort didn't want us to have anymore than one child. I never found out why..." Narcissa's voice died.
"Why do I have to know about this if they're dead?" Draco asked coldly.
"Well, see, I convinced your father to just put them up for adoption. They're in Florida." Narcissa enlightened her son. "I've contacted their adopted parents and… And I want to visit them, Draco, to bring them back- maybe? Muggles adopted them but were accepted into Crailimore so they know that they're witches. Did you know that in America you start school at 6? It's just like Muggle School. You learn your letters, numbers, and a few basic spells, well, mainly just how to say them." Narcissa rambled slightly, looking worriedly at her son.
"Okay. When are we going to get them?" Draco's lack of emotion didn't seem to bother Narcissa as she explained elatedly that they were going to go and see the girls immediately.
Florida- The Taylor's
"Libby, Liv, will you come down here please?" Ami Taylor called fretfully.
"I didn't do it!" two identical blonde girls sang out simultaneously as they rushed down the stairs. Both were casually dressed in shorts and tank tops with their hair pulled back into messy ponytails.
Ami and her husband, Andrew, smiled at the sight of them. "We know you didn't. You haven't been home long enough to do anything," Andrew joked. His tone turned serious as he spoke the next sentence. "We need to talk to you about something."
"Uh-oh," the girl wearing lavender intoned.
"Libs? What'd you do?" the one in pink asked her sister.
"I'm not sure, Liv, but didn't they say that we weren't in trouble?" Libby asked twirling her hair nervously.
"Again, you aren't in trouble. Have a seat though, you may need it," Ami warned her daughters anxiously. Libby's eyes widened questioningly and Liv looked uncertainly at her parents.
"Girls, first of all you should know that we were never supposed to tell you this." Andrew paused to collect his thoughts, "Have you ever wondered why we don't have your baby pictures even though we have Claire and Emily's?" Claire and Emily were Andrew and Ami's biological children who were four and six year's younger than Libby and Liv respectively.
"Not really," Libby easily stated. Liv just shook her head.
"Well, it's because," Andrew looked at Ami for help.
"It's because you two were-" Ami's voice broke; she couldn't say it.
"Girls, we love you like our own," Andrew assured them, wrapping his arms around his wife.
"Are you saying-" Libby began.
"That we're adopted?" Liv finished.
Ami nodded, tears streaming down her face.
"Why couldn't you tell us before? And if you couldn't tell us before then why are you telling us now?" Libby inquired becoming hysterical.
"Your biological father-" Andrew paused looking concernedly at Liv who was not blinking or moving. "Sweetheart, are you okay?" She somehow managed to nod her head yes.
"Okay," Andrew said doubtfully before continuing. "Your biological father didn't want you searching for them when you got older. We told you now because your biological mother wants to see you again. She had you two for two weeks then she had to give you up. I don't think she wanted to though…" Andrew added thoughtfully.
Narcissa, having just arrived to hear the last bit of Andrew's piece, broke in angrily, "Of course I didn't! What kind of mother would I be if I did? If I didn't have a bloody bastard for an ex-husband-"
"Ex?" Draco questioned confused.
"Yes, the divorce was finalized while you were at school. Did you not get the owl?" Narcissa asked.
"No," Draco snapped clearly annoyed, "would I have asked if I had?"
"Draco!" Narcissa scolded. "Anyway, girls, this is your brother Draco and I'm your mother, Narcissa."
"Hi!" Libby greeted, mustering up a fake smile.
"H-he-hello," Liv managed, still partially stunned.
Draco nodded curtly.
"Draco," Narcissa hissed angrily.
Reluctantly Draco extended his hand and corrected himself, "Hello. Pleased to meet you."
Sarcastically, Liv muttered, "Oh yeah, right charmed, no doubt."
"So, you're our brother and you're our mother," Libby said, head bobbing up and down with an odd look on her face. She had a look of calm acceptance on her face, though a look in her eyes revealed that she really just didn't believe that the conversation was taking place.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back. "HOW CAN YOU BE SO FREAKIN' CALM? WE JUST FRICKIN' FOUND OUT THAT WE'RE ADOPTED! THAT WE'VE BEEN LIED TO OUR WHOLE LIVES AND YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THAT KIND OF THING HAPPENS EVERY DAY!" Liv shouted at her sisters.
"Chill, Liv. It's a dream!" Libby stated rolling her eyes.
"No, Lib, it isn't. Sadly everything happening is real, okay? IT'S ALL FREAKIN' REAL!"
"No! It isn't! If this is real then my name's-," Libby paused thinking. "What's that guy's name... the first British minister dude?"
"Malfoy," Liv replied shortly.
"Yeah then my name's Elizabeth Marie Malfoy!" Libby declared triumphantly.
"Gee, I really hate to break it to you, but actually that is your name," Draco sneered sarcastically.
"What crawled up your ass and died?" Libby snarled angrily before realizing what he'd said.
"WHAT?" Libby and Liv yelled.
"Yeah," Draco said dragging the word out. "And why don't you just shove it."
Narcissa glared at him, "Draco, I swear to goodness if you don't behave…" She shook her head. "Seriously though girls, what would you think about spending one month of summer break at the manor and one month here with Draco so the three of you can get to know each other? That is if you're okay with it, I don't want to take them away from you. I mean you did raise them and everything..." Narcissa directed her last comments to Andrew and Ami.
Said couple looked at each other anxiously before Andrew reluctantly stated, "It's fine as long as the girls okay it." All other occupants turned then to peer anxiously at the girls then. "Well…" Libby started, looking at her sister, who nodded at her. "Yeah, we think that sounds alright."
The Rest of Summer
As the girls packed to head off to England they discussed the events that had thrown them for a loop.
"So, if Narcissa didn't want to send us away… Why did she?" Libby wondered aloud.
"Good question. I have no idea. We should find out. And why did her and our dad, whoever that is, get divorced?"
"Not sure. Man, we've definitely got our work cut out for us, don't we?"
"So it would seem."
The girls arrived at Malfoy Manor quickly and promptly decided that House Elves are scary looking creatures, although once Draco displayed their use they accepted their presence with ease. Narcissa set up tea in the dining room once they had settled in and there she related to Libby and Liv the same story she had told Draco about why she had given them up. Then to all three she explained the divorce.
"Your father was at one time a relatively decent man. He's always had some outrageous biases, but I thought I could change him. Unfortunately, Bellatrix stole him completely over to Voldemort's side before my influence could do anything. By then it was too late, we were already married, and I was already pregnant with you three. I hoped perhaps your presence in his life would change him, but as Draco knows he just kept getting worse. Once Harry defeated Voldemort the first time I had so much hope then that we could go and get you girls, but Lucius refused, saying that it would stir up too many questions. I stayed with him less out of love for him and more out of duty for the longest time. When he was thrown into Azkaban I knew Draco would get everything as if he had died so I divorced him. Do I have your support?" Narcissa asked, looking anxiously at her one and only son.
Draco considered her story for only a few moments before nodding and kissing his mother on the cheek. Narcissa's petite frame relaxed then as she gazed adoringly at her children. "Oh! I'm so glad I have you all together again!"
Later that week the triplets went with Narcissa to be reunited with her sister Andromeda. Immediately the girls took to Tonks as they spent several hours there. Draco took a little more time, but he slowly began accepting Ted as a relatively cool guy, even if he was a muggle. By the end of them summer the Malfoy's and Tonk's had become close once more. In fact Tonks helped the triplets re-do all of the wards surrounding the Manor as a precaution for Lucius's escape from Azkaban.
Draco introduced the girls to the Slytherins, which caused the girls to confront Pansy about her behavior around Draco. The conversation went something like this:
Liv: So, Pansy, it seems like you like our brother quite a bit.
Pansy: Yes. Do you have a problem with that?
Libby: Not particularly, other than the fact that it's rather unhealthy for you and we're pretty sure Draco isn't the one for you.
Pansy: Why do you care?
Liv: Well, Pans, we don't really like slutty behavior. It goes against our moral code of conduct and well…. We just don't like seeing someone throwing herself at our brother. It's rather disturbing to tell you the truth.
Libby's nod of agreement finished that conversation and miraculously put an end to Pansy's vulgar behavior around Draco, something which relieved Draco immensely and brought the triplets closer.
Liv also decided Blaise, Draco's best friend, was pretty attractive and began dating him during their stay. The couple decided to try a long-distance relationship, although privately they both worried if it would work considering there was an entire ocean in between them.
The girls even managed to convince Draco to tour muggle London with them and he shockingly found it entertaining. After that, they were able to convince him that calling people mudbloods was not only rude, but a stupid prejudice. After the month was up, the triplets went back to America where they continued acclimating Draco to the idea of liking muggles by introducing him to all of the Taylor family, most of whom he liked, some who he didn't, but that was to be expected as the girls didn't particularly care for their whole family either. Since the Taylor's lived near Daytona the triplets spent a lot of time at the beach where Draco developed a deep appreciation of muggle female clothing although he kept trying to prevent too many guys from looking at his sisters.
September
At long last, September rolled around and for the first time since second year Draco did not once call Hermione Granger a mudblood. Not they suddenly became best friends, in fact, the Golden Trio didn't really notice his changes, but Dumbledore did and he called Draco in to discuss his change of heart a couple of times. Meanwhile, back at Crailimore Libby and Liv continued life as normal, both girl's playing as Chaser's for their school team and looking forward to Christmas break which they split between England and Florida with Draco. Interestingly enough they also began to learn a type of wandless magic that Libby had stumbled across in a book she was reading. It was similar to House Elf magic in that it was completely untraceable. Such was the life of the reunited triplets in their 16th year of life.
A/N: Well, I decided that I'm going to attempt to revise this story before continuing, because the writing is rather elementary and I know I can do so much better. Please feel free to review telling me how you think it can be improved though. Hope you're enjoying it!
