Title: Finding Their Happy Ending

Author: Debra

Rating: Mature(for sensitive subject matter, strong language and, in later chapter, sexual situations)

Summary: Sequel to A Killer On The Loose. Draco and Luna, after everything that was done to keep them apart, will have to deal with not only finding the daughter she thought was dead but also trying to find their own happily ever after that was denied to them years before. Draco/Luna, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione

Author's Notes: With the death of the killer in the last story, I thought it would be a good idea to start a new story that deal with the aftermath caused by the events of that story. This story will be longer than the previous one which set up the universe this story is set in. To understand what is going on in this story, you might want to read A Killer On The Loose, because this story will begin where that one last left Luna and Draco.

This chapter will have crossover with CSI New York, which I absolutely love and watch every week, when Amber starts the process into looking for Lila.

Disclaimer: The characters in this story, except for Amber and Kyle, all belong to J.K Rowling. I'm just using them for the purposes of this story.

Chapter 1

A Little Boy's Pain

Content Warning: This chapter has brief strong language.

Luna had just ran into the room that had been assigned to her by Mrs. Malfoy, which was right across from Draco's, and was lying on her bed, sobbing. She felt so guilty about what had happened to Hannah, even though logically, Luna knew that the blame for this was all on Dennis Creevy.

It wasn't long after, she heard the door to the room open and felt the bed shift behind her. A familiar pair of arms came around her and ran his fingers comfortingly through her long, blond hair. Luna laid back against Draco's chest and let his warm, presence comfort her.

"You know that what happened to Hannah tonight wasn't your fault? Right?"

"I know. I just hate the fact that the reason did that to her was because he couldn't have me. She didn't deserve that, Draco. No woman ever deserves to be violated like that."

"I agree but this is all the fault of Dennis Creevy, Luna, not you," he stated, truning her around to face him and gently caressing her face with his hands.

She didn't respond to what he had said, just being content to quietly lay against his chest and fall asleep with his arms around her. As soon as he was sure that Luna was truly asleep, Draco got up from the bed and walked around to her side of it. He pulled her shoes off, an interesting pair of rainbow colored flats that reminded him of a pair of trainers that she had owned when they were at Hogwarts, and set them on the floor. He went into the closet that was on the same side of the room and pulled a blanket off of the shelf. When Draco came out, he put the blanket over her, kissed her gently on the forehead and walked out of the room.

As he was closing the door behind him, the sight of four little boys, Lorcan, Scorpius, Albus and Hugo, were standing in front of him and they were all anxious about something. Draco touched his son gently on the shoulder as if to reassure him and the others boys too before he started to speak.

"What's wrong? Why aren't the four of you in bed?"

"It's Lysander, Mr. Malfoy. He's having a bad nightmare and is screaming in his sleep," Albus said, clearly afraid of what was happening with his friend. "We came to get his mum to see if she could calm him down."

"Okay, Scorp, you and the others go into my room and watch your telly that I took in there while you were in school. I'll see what I can do to help him." He gave his son a stern look that every parent masters and every child fears before continuing to speak. "Oh and I have blocked the movie channels with the late night programs that I caught you watching right before you went to school so don't even try to access them, young man."

"Oh man!"

Draco had to fight not to let his son see him smile as he started down the hall to the bedroom the four boys were sharing with Lysander. He heard the door to his own bedroom close as he stepped into the room to the screams of a terrified little boy. The wizard quickly cast a charm on the room so the others in the rooms around this one wouldn't be woke up by Lysander's screams.

"No, mummy, no! Don't hurt her! Stop!"

The second Draco heard that, terror filled his heart and he rushed over to the bed where Lysander was sleeping. He had to make himself touch the boy's shoulder gently and not shake him awake to find out why he was screaming about somebody hurting Luna.

"Lysander, it's Mr. Malfoy, you're having a nightmare..." He had to fight not to call him son, knowing that even he and Luna ever could be together, this little boy might not want another man calling him son. He watched Lysander start to calm down and then his blue eyes opening, filling up with tears. As soon as he saw Draco, Lysander threw himself into his arms, clinging to him and sobbing uncontrollably.

"I didn't stop him, Mr. Malfoy. One night when they were arguing in the living room, father got so angry with her, he grabbed mummy and threw her down on the couch. Father screamed that by Merlin she would scream his name even if it was to beg him to stop. He was ripping her clothes off her and pulling his pants down to free his penis. She tried to bite him in an effort to stop him so father smacked her across the face and ripped her panties off of her. I just stood there and watched as father did to her what Lorcan and I saw him doing to your wife. Although he wasn't as gentle with mummy as he was with Mrs. Malfoy, and instead of begging him for more, mummy was screaming in pain and pleading with him to stop. I failed her, Mr. Malfoy."

Draco felt a mix of anger and fear fill him as he realized just what Rolf Scamander had done to not only his wife but his children as well, especially the crying little boy in his arms. It made him want to see if he could make this little one, his brother, and unborn brother or sister his and they would no longer belong to that sorry piece of shit.

Then he started to wonder if that is why Luna had reacted as she had after find out that Hannah Longbottom had been raped by Dennis. That event could have brought back a memory she had repressed to keep from having to face it and deal with the pain that being so viciously violated by her husband had caused her.

"Where's my mummy?"

"She's asleep, Lysander. Your little brother or sister is making her very tired and the healer wanted her to rest as much as possible. Do you want me to wake her up, mate, because I know she will want to be with you right now."

"No. Let her sleep. Will you stay with me until I go back to sleep?" Lysander sounded older than his eleven years at that moment and he endeared himself even more to the man who was comforting him.

Draco then glanced at the door and noticed Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Harry standing in the doorway. Judging by the looks on their faces, all four of them had heard enough of what was said in the room, that it was a good thing Rolf Scamander was dead. Because if Dennis Creevy hadn't of done it, one of them, himself included, would have made him suffer.

"How about you let Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Weasley stay with you while I go find something to help you sleep and make the dreams go away?"

"Okay. You will come back, right?"

"Yes, I'll come back and sit with you until you go back to sleep." He touched Lysander gently on the top of the head before getting up from the bed and moving over to the door. Ginny and Hermione made their way over to where Lysander was at while Draco left the room with Harry and Ron behind him. The three men walked down the hall, down the stairs, through the first floor and into Draco's potions lab that was off of the kitchen. As soon as the door closed and a spell was cast on the door, profanity filled the room.

"That fucking piece of shit!

"Bloody bastard!"

"Sorry asshole!"


Amber Finnegan was standing in her hotel room in muggle London, wearing nothing but a man's dress shirt, with her cell phone to her ear. She was watching Kyle as he laid under the covers in the bed, as she waited for her boss, Mac Taylor to answer his phone.

Kyle had ended up escorting her back to her hotel and had accepted her invitation to join her for a drink. One thing had led to another and the two of them ended up having a very enjoyable and steamy romp between the sheets while waiting for the right time to call Mac. When Harry had come back to the Longbottom's and told her what he needed from her, she had instantly agreed to help. Getting that little girl back to her mother was going to be her top priority before she left London to go back home.

On the third ring, her boss' voice came over the phone. "When are coming home, Finnegan? We need you back here in the lab."

"I will be here for a little bit longer, Mac. While I was on a plane here, my cousin was murdered by the killer and I want to stay here long enough to attend his funeral."

"Did Potter catch him?"

"Yes sir, with some help from me and several other wizards, Melinda Creevy's killer was stopped. There was only one problem, Mac."

"What happened?"

"He was so high on PCP that nothing could put him down, none of Harry's spells or any other method worked, so I had to use my gun to stop him. He died tonight from his injuries, so I might have to deal with questions from the Ministry here before I leave." She hesitated, looking over at Kyle, who gave her an encouraging smile. "Mac, I need you to do something for me."

"What's wrong, Finnegan?"

"I need a background check on a couple and a five year old that they took from her biological mother, with the help of the father, five years ago. It was done by magical means to make the mother think her baby was dead but the couple who have her are like us, Mac. We need to find her because there is a fear that she might be in danger."

"Give me the names and I'll have Lindsay do it. I'll call you back as soon as we have any information."

"Their names are Trevor and Millicent Richards, and the little girl name's is Lila. Have Lindsay make it an international check because they could be anywhere in the world."

"Got it." Mac hesitated before speaking again. "Is the father one of the murder victims of Dennis Creevy?"

"Yes but the way things are looking, Dennis might have done everybody here a favor. As more of the things Rolf Scamander did to his wife come to light, it looks like the wife's friends and the wizard she is really in love would have all happily killed him and not felt an ounce of remorse. Harry is figuring out how to tell Luna right now. I think he is also afraid that the little girl could be abused like he was because of the uncontrolled magic she might be showing, so he thinks she needs to be found fairly quickly."

"I'll get Lindsay on it right away."

"Thanks Mac."

"You're welcome. I hope we find her in time."

"Me too, Mac, me too."


AN: I hope everybody likes this first chapter of the sequel to A Killer On The Loose. This will be a much longer story than the first one because this will be about Draco and Luna trying to find their way to each other, while searching for Lila, dealing with the other children, his and hers, especially Lysander, who will be torn between hating and loving Rolf but also wanting Draco to be his new father, who he trusts more than he ever did Rolf.
