A.N: Heyy guys. I thought that I would not to leave you in a cliff hanger for to long. :D so with out further ado! Da, da, da, daaaaa. Read my prescious.
"Hello darling" she laughed wildly "Didn't forget me did you?!"
"Accio wand" she whispered, her wand was down stairs. "What are you doing here?"
"I wouldn't try anything, I have a pretty good shield" she hissed gesturing towards the twins in her arms. "You know why I'm here!"
"I never did anything"
"Just making sure" she cooed in her high pitched voice. "Ugh, I can still taste your filthy blood on my lips" she turned her nose up and spat on the floor
"If I knew it was you. I would not have touched you, you are lucky all you got was a kiss"
Her nose flared and she kept the twisted look on her face "If you don't mind, I'm on a tight schedule so... I'll be off"
"Not with my sons you are not!"
"You're not fit to be a parent!" she looked down at Scorpius and gently stroked his face with a long black nail "you look so much like poor daddy"
Just as Bellatrix said that, the real Draco came into the Nursery
"Hello Draco, sorry flying visit" she stepped back, ready to dis-apperate
"Draco! Do something!"
Draco was frozen he hadn't a clue what to do. He couldn't attack, she had their kids. If he done anything there would be consequences. In a flash Bella was gone. Draco stated at the spot where she had just been, her wicked face smiling at them. "I know where she's gone" he breathed "You, stay here"
"Draco, please help them," she whimpered
He grabbed her by the arm, he was scared, angry and confused. "She's gone too far this time. She won't be breathing the next time you see her."
"Go Draco, I will floo-call Sirius and get him to come and stay a while. Just get our babies back"
Draco disappeared to Lestrange manor. "BELLA!" he roared, running round the house. He bumped into Rodolphus who, as always, was drunk
"Who are you?" he slurred
"I'm your nephew" he pushed past him "Where's your twisted bitch of a wife?" he shouted behind him, Rod wouldn't care if Draco hurt his aunt, the two hated each other
"Have not seen her all night...I think"
Draco rolled his eyes and darted up the stairs. He stopped and listened. He heard a faint cry followed by Bella hushing. He ran into the room. It was dark and cluttered, smashed mirrors and the bed was broken. This was Bella's and rods room. "What were you thinking?! Give back my sons!"
"She does not deserve them"
"You defiantly don't!" he tried his hardest not to grab the babies and go, Bella never left her wand out of reach.
"At least I could offer them the right kind of love"
"Aunt! These aren't your kids!" he looked down at Bella, she was kneeling in the floor both boys in her arms. "Are... Are you crying?" her dark eyes were swimming
"I never cry" she denied
He knelt down opposite her, broken glass crunching beneath him. He could hardly see in the dim light. He sighed "I understand you... You can't have... Your own children" he swallowed, it was a known fact but the last person to speak to her about it died an hour later. "But you can't do this to us" his lips were trembling, he'd never seen his aunt cry before
"It's so unfair." she sobbed. Bella was having a break down "I never did anything wrong and then I can't have my own babies. All. I. Ever. Wanted. Was. My. Own. Babies!"
Draco frowned, she had done plenty wrong. But now wasn't the time to tell her "There's ways around it Aunt, but stealing your nephews kids isn't one of them. Even if there mother doesn't have pure blood" he hesitantly put an arm round her, knowing she could kill anyone right now
"How?" she asked hopefully
Now he was stuck "umm.. Y-you can adopt or umm... Someone could have the kids for you" Draco had finally calmed down
"Really? Someone else could have a baby for me?" Draco had never seen his aunt like this
"Well, Muggles do it... I don't know-" he stopped himself "I'm sure some pure-blood witch would do so" it was like trying to coax a 5-year old out of a tantrum
Bellatrix calmed down and handed Lachlan to Draco but still held Scorpius tight
"You can still be a part of my kids life, y'know, baby sit and stuff... You're their great aunt. Hermione doesn't really have a family" he looked down at Scorpius; his eyes stared up at him. Draco could see himself in his face
"I never meant to hurt you Draco" she apologized
"It's not me you have to apologise to"
"I know, I never meant to hurt any of you family"
"I want you to come back with me"
"I..I...I can't" she spluttered
"You are" he stood up with Lachlan and held out a hand
"She will Hex or Curse me" she tried to barging
"She won't if I tell her not to. Plus you can withstand the cruciatus curse for hours on end, what have you got to fear?" he tried to persuade her.. Referring to the punishment she would receive if she ever failed at something.
You promise?" she asked taking his hand and standing up with Scorpius in her hand
"I promise" and before she could protest he dis-apperated into his front room
They were greeted by an Angry looking Sirius. "What the hell Malfoy!" he screamed "You told me you would protect them!" He hadn't noticed Bella
"Calm down Sirius they're here!" he forgot about Sirius, he had basically served Bella to him on a plate. Draco handed Lachlan to Hermione and kissed her on the forehead "Don't do anything stupid" he said to the fuming pair and stepped aside, so they could see his aunt. Who still had Scorpius
"First she takes my babies. And then you bring her to our house!" she backed away shielding her son "Plus she still has one of your sons Draco! Are you even aware of that?"
"Yes! I am! And she's here to apologise!" he turned to look at Bella, her heavy mascara was running down her cheeks
"I am sorry" she said genuinely
Draco stood by his auntie and put an arm round her "There's reasons behind all this." he wasn't prepared to tell anyone exactly
"Look, I have been cursed to not be able to have children. All throughout my childhood that was my only dream in life, and when he made it so I could not have even one of my own, I was absolutely smashed. Then when Draco told us that You were to have TWO babies and I could not have one, I lost it. I have been taught about blood statues from before I can remember. I am truly sorry, I never meant to hurt my kin"
Sirius was still angry "It doesn't justify what you've done Bellatrix! You threatened to kill Hermione" he stood by her and put an arm round her, looking down at Lachlan.
"I know, I know. I over reacted"
She was still holding Scorpius
"Over reacted? Over reacted?!" Hermione screeched "Give back my baby! Draco!" Draco looked at his aunt, Bella moved slowly forwards. She bowed her head a little and kissed Scorpius on the head. She blinked and a black-stained tear fell onto his cheek. She outstretched her arms, keeping her head down.
Sirius moved forward and collected Scorpius "Hey little man" he "whispered glad that both boys were asleep during this commotion
Bellatrix hissed at Sirius and backed away.
"You know Bella? I sometimes forget we are related" he spoke
"Wish we weren't" she may still be crying but inside she was still the twisted angry wild person she is
"Stop it. The two of you" It was Hermione who spoke up, she hoped Draco would back her up
Draco grabbed Bella by the arm and pulled her back. She shot a look at him.
"What do you think you're doing?" she screeched
"Stopping you from doing any more damage" he nearly growled it.
"Let go of me" she said firmly
He ignored her and tightened his grip. Sirius laughed at her. "Amused?" she snarled at him, baring her teeth
"Not really" he responded
Hermione piped up "Sirius, please, come with me so I can put these two to bed. Safely" she said the last word glaring at Bellatrix. "Mudblood" Bella muttered just as she walked out
Hermione put the boys down to sleep and Walked over to Sirius who simply hugged her. "You are the best thing to happen to me since I was accepted into Hogwarts" she told him.
"Let's go make sure she is not making Draco suffer" Sirius said
They walked back down to find out that they were no longer there "DRACO!? " she shouted scared
Sirius walked up behind her "What? What is it?" he looked round "Where is he?! And that bloody cousin of mine?"
"I don't know. I walked down and they were gone"
"Draco! Where are you?"
Sirius heard the high pitched yells coming from outside. "Bella's out here" he grabbed her hand and led her out the door which was wide open. Bellatrix was stood over Draco who was lying on the gravel "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT" she was screaming in her tears
"Draco, what did you do to him?" the last part was aimed at Bellatrix
Her head spun round "I haven't done anything you filthy mudblood!" she turned back to Draco "Why could cissy have you and I couldn't? It's your fault! It's Cissy's fault!"
"Bella" Hermione was now trying to calm her down
"Don't speak to me" she squealed, turning her attention away from Draco. "I could give you a matching scar on the other arm just as easy as last time!" she licked her lips
"It's no one's fault" she ignored the threat
"It has to be!" another tear escaped her. Draco had got up.
"Well whose fault is it? Whose fault is it that you can't have children?"
She screamed at Hermione's words, not wanting to hear them. Her scream was like she was being murdered. She collapsed to the floor on her knees and screamed and cried into her hands
By this time Draco had gotten up of the floor and was now standing by Bella
Bellatrix had finally snapped, her madness over the years was all spilling out. Sirius smirked and said to Hermione "They aren't all as strong as they look" Bella stopped screaming and tried to pull herself up on Draco
She simply glared at Draco, waiting for him to speak
Draco helped her up she fell into his arms and sobbed on his shoulder "it's not fair" she whispered between her cries
"I know" Hermione said
She hissed at Hermione's voice. Draco pulled Bella off him and simply said "What are we going to do with you?" she didn't answer but just looked at the floor, Sirius still looked like he wanted to get her
"I don't know" she said. Bella was an emotional wreck. Her hard outer shell had shattered and now she was like a small child again
Draco took a hold of his Aunt and coaxed her in the house. Hermione clearly wasn't happy she was back in their home again. He sat her in the front room and left Sirius to make sure she didn't do anything. Draco pulled Hermione into the hallway "What am I supposed to do with her?"
"As much as I dislike her. I don't think she can go anywhere right now. She needs comfort. Either here or at you parents. But considering the time, they are properly asleep"
"I'm not sending her back to her husband. He's never sober and by the state of the house it looks like she's safer away from him" there was a rumour a few years ago that their marriage was abusive but Bella had tried her hardest to quieten it. "The only spare room is opposite Scorpius and Lachlan's... She can stay on the sofa"
"The boys could be moved into our room, it is large enough to have the boys' cots in there for a while." she suggested "I don't wish her to be uncomfortable"
He raised an eyebrow "you sure?"
"If it is okay with you to have the boys with us. Then yes I am sure"
"Yeah okay.." he was confused Hermione had done something nice towards his aunt. He walked back into the front room. Bellatrix was laying belly-down on the couch her face buried in a cushion. Draco sat on the edge of the sofa and she sat up "what?" she snarled
"Clam down. I am just telling you that the spare room up the stairs if free and you can use it"
"What for? I have a home Draco!" she tried to sound confident but every time she leave's rod she pays for it later
"Aunt Bella, I know what he is like. I have seen the bruises. Stay here the night, if he asks were you have been. Tell him you were tormenting muggles or something. Please just stay"
She shuddered and then looked up at him "thank you" she whispered
"No problem
"Do you mind if I go now? I'm tired" she sighed and tried to push her wild curls out of her face
"No, it is already ready for you. Off you go, G'night Aunt Bella" he said after he showed her to her room.
She kissed him on the cheek then collapsed on to the sheets. Draco returned to Hermione and Sirius "I am so sorry" he said and hugged Hermione tightly, his eyes prickling
"It's not your fault she had a messed up life. It is no one's fault." she said glumly. To Sirius "Thank you for coming Sirius" She hugged him
"It's okay, I'm here whenever you need me"
"Thanks" she grasped Draco's hand in her own "Can I go to bed now?" she asked
"Yeah, bye Sirius" once Sirius had left Draco went upstairs with Hermione.
"I am glad this day is over. Let's just hope they stay asleep the whole night." she said indicating to the 2 cots now in their bedroom. "I might feed them before I go to bed actually. Accio bottle" she caught it and gave it to Draco "Who do you want to feed?"
He didn't answer but picked up Scorpius and smiled "I'm so happy to have my boys back" he said to himself
"Did I not doubt that" she giggled ignoring the remark made by Draco, she just wanted to forget it all. She picked up Lachlan and carefully woke him to feed him.
Just before he'd finished feeding he could hear muffled cries. "Hermione, you're better at charms than me" he said, meaning for her to quieten Bella's room
Hermione went to her dresser and picked up his wand and cast a silencing charm on the spare room. Lachlan was done by now so she started burping him and before long he gave a rather large burp
"Thanks" he kissed her on the forehead and after burping Scorpius put him to sleep.
They both climbed into bed and were asleep in seconds
Not such a cliff-hanger this time, sorry guys, I have written this part a while ago. And I didn't relise how much of a cliffie the last chapter. :D
