Chapter 7

A/N: Still don't own

Marcus looked concerned at his friend. "What? Why?" Adrian smiled at him. "Well in a few years, she will start dating." Marcus growled, causing his friend to chuckle. "I can definatly see you trying to use an unforgivable on any boy that comes near her." Adrian braced himself for the reaction. He was not disapointed. Marcus roared. "Damn strait. No one will touch my daughter!"

Adrian laughed. "Face it mate. You already act like a dad." He told him before going to get a drink from the kitchen.

Greg walked back into the room to find Marcus with his head in his hands looking worried. He raised an eyebrow to Adrian as he walked back in, silently asking what was wrong.

Adrian smiled proudly. "Our Marcus here is Agate's father." He placed a bottle of firewhisky and a few cups on the table. Marcus looked up to see his friend's reactions. Greg surprised him by smiling wide too and slapping him on the back. "Congrats mate. She is an amazing kid. She takes after her mum, smart as a whip and beautiful." He thought for a minute before contiuing. "What are you going to do about Mya?"

"What do you mean?" Marcus asked. Greg realxed on the sofa, "Well, are you going to try to romance her? I mean you could try to give Agate a real family. You know a mum, a dad, both married and living in the same house."

"Greg." Marcus warned him. "No, just think about it. Mya will give you a chance. I'm sure of it. Just try." Greg asked. "I haven't seen her in years. Before that it was school and I mean, you know we never friends. Heck, I was with Draco when he called her all those names." Marcus ran his hand through his hair nervisely.

His friend just laughed. "Marcus, Mya will forgive you. I don't think you called her names. Did you?" He shook his head no. Greg chuckled. "She will forgive you. You gave her the best thing ever. You gave her Agate. Mya loves that girl like there is no tommarrow. I doubt she could ever regret having her."As Marcus digested this, Adrian started to laugh.

"What is so funny?" Greg asked. "Well, nothing really. I was wondering if Agate was going to be getting a sibling or two later that look like her." Greg started chuckling joining Adrian in laughing at Marcus's discomfert. "Some friends you two are." He grumbled, taking a shot of fire whiskey.

They laughed for a little longer, then started taking shots with him. "When does she get out of the hospital?" Adrian asked. "Tomarrow." Greg answered. "Is she going home or coming here?" Adrian questioned. Greg took another shot with Marcus. "She will come here of couse." He filled his cup and went to bring it to his lips when he stopped.

"Oh Merlin. She can't come here." He all but yelled, jumping up. "Where the hell is she going to go?" He muttered to himself as he paced. Marcus turned to Adrian to see if he knew why she couldn't stay there. He looked just as confused.

"Greg, Why can't she stay here?" Adrian asked. His friend stopped pacing and took a deep breath. "Ron. He knew Hermione was with a Slytherin and we are her friends. So, he would come to us. We can't go through the ministry to hide her, since Ron is an Auror." "How does he know she was with a Slytherin?" Marcus asked looking concerned towards his daughters bedroom.

"Agate heard Ron yelling about a snake and a one night stand." Greg explained as he sat down on the corner of the coffee table. "Where is she going to go? Oh, don't your parents have that summer house that is unplotable?" Adrian said quietly. Marcus looked over to his friend shaking his head. "No, Mya was apparating there when Ron grabbed her. It was shortly after she came back to England. The wards haven't been changed." He explained.

"Why would he do that?" Adrian questioned. Greg shifted a little before answering looking at Marcus. "He seemed to think that Mya moved home to be with a guy. So he suspected all of us. We never were with her like that. Ron never believed her. She thought it was funny for a little while. Even joked about why did it have to be only one of us. Ron flipped out, but never like this. As far as I know this it the only time he has ever hit her."

"So, she can't stay here, or with another Slytherin." Marcus clarified. "Or a Weasley. He can get through all their wards, even if he wasn't set to be allowed." Greg told them.

The room filled with a green light as the floo light up for Draco to walk in. "Oi Flint, Congrats on the being a dad. I was there when Blaise showed Mya the memory." Draco dropped into his chair. "How did she take the news?" Marcus asked with a scared look on his face.

"Marcus, calm down it will be okay. Mya said you scared her a little in school, but that was mostly your size. She got over that, I mean you did get together to make Agate. She also mentioned that you never hexed her or called her name, she mentioned it was me who did that. She told me about how she used to see you in the library sometimes. Which I remember, too." Draco smirked at his friend, who's face was turning slightly pink.

Marcus looked shocked. "She noticed me?" Greg and Adrian started laughing. "You never used to let me go with you. I figured it was a bird, but I would have never guessed her." Adrian told him.

Marcus glared toward his laughing friends. "Anyways, back to where she is going." Draco spoke up. "Oliver and Victor offered to let her stay with them." Everyone turned toward Marcus to see his reaction. "Didn't Krum date her 4th year?" He growled. "Yes, but Oliver has taken her on dates since she came back. Victor is the better choice though." Draco explained.

Marcus stood up knocking his chair over. "What? Why?" Draco stared at his friend with wide eyes before explained. "Victor is the better choice because Ron doesn't know they are still friends and Agate adore Sergio." Marcus still looking mad sat down. "Draco, please tell me Sergio is Victor's life partner." He muttered. Everyone laughed again. "Sorry. No, Sergio is Victor's son." "His son?" Marcus repeated almost instantly.

"Yeah. His wife died though, when Sergio was only 2." With that Marcus put his head back into his hands. "Draco, does she like him?" He asked his blonde friend very quietly. "I'm not sure, Marcus. I don't think so. I mean she would have already gotten together with him if she did. You will have to ask Mya though. I'm sure she will tell you. She will probley give you a chance if you ask for one. She is very open about everything. She was a Gryffendor." Draco explained.

Adrian snapped his fingers. "I got it. Your Aunt Celeste." "Who?" Draco asked. "She is my dad's sister. She was disowned when she was little for being a sqaib. She lives in a muggle community. I never knew her till after my parents died. Her husband died years ago, so she lives alone. I'm not sure how she would take this." He explained pulling his head up to look at his friends. They were smiling. "You should owl her. She will want to get to know your daughter, too." Greg told him. Marcus sighed and walked to the table to get a piece of parchment.

A/N: Sorry I write asked so much. I was rushing to get this chapter out. I'm really not very good at writing. It is more like a 1st draft for most people. I was never very good in English class. I was the one sitting behind the big jock, sleeping. :) Probley not the best choice, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. If something annoys you about it. Email me and I'll change it. Once again, these stories I write are not my babies. I'm not going to be offended if someone doesn't like something in here.
