"Welcome back to a new school year students and welcome first years. I would like to announce that we have a new class this year for only select sixth and seventh year students. The selected students received a parchment with a snitch on it when you received your school supply list. Those students are to go to the old Divination classroom tomorrow for either your first or second period. Slytherin and Gryffindor's have the class first period then Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw second period." Dumbledore says as he starts the welcome speech.
All the selected students groan then stare are at him as if he had lost his mind.
"This will help you all get to know someone of the opposite house and hopefully end this unnecessary rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor Houses. The rest will be told to you students tomorrow." Dumbledore continues then goes onto finish the speech then starts the feast.
"This is ridiculous! How could have Dumbledore done this to us!" Ron groans.
"He may have good reasoning. Just as long as during any projects I'm not with Malfoy I'll be fine with this." Christi Snape says shrugging not caring.
"Luckily your dad learned after the fourth time you hexed Draco not to pair you two together anymore." Chuckles Harry remembering the last time she did she turned his hair a bright vivid purple with a hex she created herself and she refused to tell anyone the counter curse and made him live like that for month.
"Yea well Draco is a twit and a prat. I can't stand him."
"None of us can." Hermione said.
"Well we'll see tomorrow morning." Harry said.
¥Next Morning¥
Christi, Hermione, Ron and Harry all walk into the old Divination classroom and they see the chalk board with all their names on the board and their partners.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL! NO! I'M STUCK WITH FUCKING MALFOY!" Christi groans.
"I'm stuck with Parkinson!"
"I got Zambini!"
"Oh bloody hell! I got Millicent!" Ron groans.
Christi sighs as she goes goes and takes her seat next to him sighing as he gets a smug look on.
Their teacher walks in and says, "Good Morning everyone. I'm Professor O'Neill. I would like to welcome you to Parenting 101. This school year you and your partner will be raising a child or children depending on each of your family's backgrounds."
Everyone starts talking at once complaining of their partners and demanding to get out of the class amongst other things.
"SILENCE!" Professor O'Neill yells.
Everyone quiets down and they look at their professor.
"Now you will be living with your partner in your own houses. It will be assigned to each couple based on their grades." She said earning all of the students confused looks at her.
"Okay basically if one person has high marks and the other has low marks, they will get an average sized home, but also if someone has low marks but actively take part in any of the schools clubs I will think about upgrading you to the average range." Professor O'Neill explained about houses then she goes to explain on where the houses were.
"These houses will be located in a building outside the castle; the building is charmed to look like a neighborhood once you walk inside. You will also have kids." She paused yet again to look at the students shocked faces.
"Don't worry," she added, chuckling lightly, "they are not real children they were created by Professor Dumbledore especially for this class, but they will have the features of you and your partner and will act like real children. They will appear in your homes as soon as you open the door. Lastly, the kids will be your responsibility until the of the year then they will disappear."
"Professor I'm pretty sure my father wouldn't approve of this course for me. I mean especially if my partner is…Malfoy. I mean he and I don't get along and have a habit of trying to hex each other into oblivion that's why we're never paired together."
"I've already talked to your father about it and he actually suggested you two be paired together. I was originally going to pair you with Mr. Zambini."
"May I be excused for a moment please?"
"Going to talk to your father I presume?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Go ahead."
Christi grabs her stuff and storms out and towards the dungeons.
She gets to the D.A.D.A room and throws the door open scaring the first years half to death.
"My office. I'll be right there." Snape says.
She shoves her way down growling and muttering loudly in Italian furious.
Snape tells them what to do and a moment later he walks into his office.
"YOU SUGGESTED I BE PAIRED WITH MALFOY! ARE YOU INSANE! SERIOUSLY DAD! DRACO FUCKING MALFOY! THIS TIME I JUST WON'T CHANGE HIS HAIR COLOR! I'LL MAKE HIM EVEN LESS THAN A GUY!" she hisses at her father she was beyond furious at the moment. A year stuck with living with Draco for an entire year.
"This experience will help you get over your childish attitude."
"Do you not remember third year? He thought it would be funny to jinx my spaghetti to make it turn into worms when I went to eat it! He's the childish one!"
"Then it will help both of you get over this and it will teach you two to be responsible."
She just starts slinging profanity left and right furious stalking out of the room making all the first years look at her.
"Back to work unless you want mountains of it!" she growls at them.
They all look back down at their parchments and get back to work.
She gets back to the Divination room and Draco looks at her with a smug look.
"Let's get a few things straight here 1) you will pull your weight with this assignment, 2) if you don't expect worse hexes then me just turning your hair purple 3) we need to try and at least be civil toward each other if we want a decent grade." She explains to him.
"Yea whatever. After class we have the rest of the day off to go and check out the house and get acquainted with the child or children we're going to be raising. We have to follow her to neighborhood that was set up." He informs her.
"Fine." She said.
The bell rings and hour and half later then they head out to the part of the grounds where they'll be living for a year.
"Go and find your homes. Malfoy-Snape, Granger-Zambini and Potter-Parkinson you three couples are all residing on Snitch Avenue." She starts off telling all of them where they will be living.
They all go searching for their houses.
Finding Snitch Avenue they all gasps.
"Bloody hell! They're mansions!" Hermione says.
"No big deal let's just get inside." Malfoy says.
Christi shoves past him and heads inside.
She goes upstairs and she hears crying and she follows it and opens the door the crying was coming from behind.
She opens the door and finds it painted yellow with a yellow duck boarder going around the top of the wall.
She smiles then sees two cribs.
"Bloody hell. Twins." She says going over to one of the cribs and finds a tiny baby girl screaming and squirming in the crib.
She smiles and picks up the baby girl and holds her close to her gently bouncing her to calm her down. She had the platinum blonde hair like her father but she had the facial features of a Snape and Rossi. Rossi being Christi's mother's side of the family.
Draco comes in and looks at her with the baby.
"Twins. Can you get the other baby please? I'm busy with this one twin." She says.
"Boy or girl?" he asks.
"Girl. What about that twin?"
"Boy. He looks just like a Malfoy. What about you?"
"She has the looks of both of sides of my family besides the hair. She had your hair. Platinum blonde hair and blue-grey eyes."
"Malfoy through and through. I wonder which of us has twins in our family's."
"Who knows. But what are we going to name them? I mean they need names."
"Well what about Abraxas Severus for him after my grandfather and godfather." Draco suggests.
"That's a really good name for him. What about Calliope Evangeline for her?" Christi asks.
"Who knew a half-blood could come up with a decent name!" Draco chuckles.
Christi growls and looks at him.
"Couldn't hold back the snide rude comments for twenty minutes." Christi snorts as Snape comes into the massive manor.
"Christi!" she hears her father call.
"UPSTAIRS!" she calls back.
He comes in a moment later and sees each of the teens holding a baby.
"This is your mother's side of the family's gene's at work. She had a twin a sister." Snape chuckles.
"Cool."
"What are their names?" he asks taking Calliope from Christi.
"Calliope Evangeline and Abraxas Severus." Draco tells him bouncing Abraxas getting him back to sleep.
"Good strong names for them. But do I need to come and check on you two every afternoon after classes end every day?" he asks.
"Maybe. He was keeping the jackass comments to himself until I came up with Calliope's name."
"You can't take teasing!" Malfoy exclaims.
"That's rude teasing. You think anyone who isn't of pureblood is worthless shit. Merlin I just want this fucking project to be over with!" Christi snorts taking the still crying Calliope downstairs and into the kitchen to feed her a bottle.
She grabs one then warms it up using a warming charm then she goes and sits down on the sofa and feeds her daughter.
Calliope just sucks on her bottle looking up at her mother with sterling blue-grey eyes.
Christi smiles and just watches her daughter eat her bottle as Snape comes down and looks at her.
"You want to talk about it? All Draco said was it was helpless teasing."
"He said quote 'Who knew a half-blood could come up with a decent name'. He's a rude shit. Now you know why I hate him so much and hex him every chance I get."
"You know the only reason why he teases you twice as much is because he likes you. Guys pick on girls as much as they do because they like them."
"I doubt that. He's all about pure-blood supremacy. He doesn't want anything to do with me and besides that extremely small chance that he does his parents would freak. I would much rather be going at this alone but its whatever." She says.
"Well I can't promise things will get better but if you give it time you two just might start being civil toward each other."
"I guess. One can always home."
"Yea, you, me, Dumbledore and Patricia."
"Patricia?" Christi questions.
"Professor O'Neill."
She nods and looks and sees that Calliope has finished her bottle. So Christi grabs the burping cloth and throws it over her shoulder then gently burps her then Calliope falls right asleep.
"You're a natural."
"Babysitting the Juergens twins during school holidays." Christi says smiling.
"Right. The little terrors." He says.
Christi laughs and shakes her head.
"I'll be right back. I need to go and lie her down." Christi informs her father.
"Okay. I need to get back to the castle anyway. I have a class in fifteen minutes."
She nods as she heads up the stairs and her father heads out.
Coming up to the nursery's door Christi hears Draco inside the room talking softly to Abraxas.
"I hope you have more of your mom's personality and smarts. You mom is smart and gorgeous yet she doesn't flaunt it. She's modest and classy. That's what I love about her. I guess I just pick on her more than her friends because I've liked her since third year and she helped Potter prove that his godfather was innocent but I realized I've been in love with her since last year when she Potter, Granger, the Weasley's, Lonny Lovegood, Longbottom all went to the Department of Ministry's to get the prophecy and fought against my father and other Death Eaters. When my cousin Nymphadora brought her back her unconscious from being thrown against a wall and getting knocked out from trying to help Harry by distracting my father's attention from him but he just used the Stupefy charm on her and knocked her back into a wall. When she came to she demanded to see Harry and she just held him as he cried as my Aunt Bellatrix murdered his godfather using the killing curse and knocking him into the Veil. She's the type of person who puts others before herself but I highly doubt she returns my feelings as I've made her life miserable since first year on the train. But all these years I've been forced to hide them and do what is expected of me. But I think I've told you enough for one night. You mom might be up any second now with your sister." He said as he started to pace the room gently bouncing his son who he had fell in love with the moment he saw him along with his sister.
She smiles softly at what he had told their son. One Draco Lucius Malfoy was in love with her. Her father was right about what he said about the teasing. He did like her.
She shakes it off and acts like she didn't hear what he said and gently pushes the door open making him look up at her.
"Callie asleep?" he asks.
"Yea, she just went out like a light after her bottle. What about Abraxas?"
"Wide awake." He chuckles.
"Go and try feeding him a bottle. There's one downstairs in the kitchen on the counter and there's a cloth to throw over your shoulder to use to burp him when he's done. He might spit up."
Draco nods and goes downstairs with Abraxas.
