HI thanks for your support! . This one is looong but i had to squeeze like 30 years in there. I hope you enjoy it


Little Scorpius was trying to get the most beautiful and red apple for his mama, because now mama had two babies on her tummy that eat all her food, that's why he was climbing the dangerous and enormous tree, the good ones were always on the top.

Out of nowhere a cracking sound surprised the boy who suddenly found himself falling down, he was sure he was going to die when another boy trapped his hand.

-"I got you! I saved your life and now you are my friend!"—said the other boy so convinced that Scorpius couldn't do another thing but nod.

Both boys climbed down the tree and once on the floor the smiling boy offered the big apple to him.

He was going to reach for it when someone grabbed forcedly his little arm.

"Scorpius you know it is explicitly forbidden to speak with this filthy muggles"—said his grandfather without caring for the other boy listening; Lucius raised his cane with all the intention to discipline his grandson when an insupportable pain seized his body.

Scorpius's new friend ran in panic, the friendship lost forever to the boy, letting him alone with a bruised apple.

-"HOW DARE YOU! USE THE CRUCIATUS ON ME!?— Screamed Lucius Malfoy after recovering his ability to breath.

-"Oh, I'm sorry I was under the impression that the Malfoy heir was not to be wronged under any circumstances"—answered a very pregnant Astoria, standing a few paces away from the pitiful scene. – "You know, to show his superiority over other children"—the malefic smile actually accentuating her beautiful face.

With his pride injured Lucius stood precariously and apparated away without another word.

Astoria kneeled with effort in front of her son, smiling sadly at the boy who was evidently trying not to cry – "are you hurt my shining star?"- The nickname coercing a smile on the face of the boy named after an entire constellation.

-"He ruined your apple mama"—said the boy showing her mother the once beautiful fruit –"oh it's ok baby, I'm sure Beryl, the kitchen-elf can make us a delicious cake with that apple"—

Then she stood up, offered her hand to the boy and walked him slowly to the manor. –"maybe you can offer a piece of that cake to someone I want you to meet"—she said cheerfully –"I heard Amos Goyle is coming to play with you this evening, I bet you'll be great friends".


Astoria Malfoy woke up again alone on her bed, it wasn´t that shocking, Draco's obsession to find their son was getting out of control, her poor husband wasn't able to eat or sleep well and the family was beginning to fear for his health.

The fact that his searching kept going without Lucius consent or knowledge didn't help to their nerves either; but Draco was set on finding his heir before his father or anyone else could harm him.

With a sigh she forced herself out of her bed, with or without Draco and Scorpius she still had a house to take care, so she headed to her vanity room, all thoughts of the house vanishing once the woman got there.

Out of despair she had written a message to her son days ago, to comfort herself, knowing well that Scorpius belongings were still at Hogwarts and that her disappeared son may not be able to reach them never again. Not after Lucius had announced the significance of "the problem" and the importance of capture the boy and destroy any evidence of the matter.

For days she had waited for any signal of her boy in vain, and after Draco's desperate confession to her, about the parenthood of the new baby she had hoped the Potters would announce Scorpius whereabouts soon, but after three weeks the hope had begun to vanish on images of her son's life fading away on the streets.

But the blue words on her mirror were enough proof that Scorpius was alive and his message gave away more than what the boy had expected.

A sudden movement in the room next to Astoria forced her out of her thoughts and quickly she took down the mirror, erased the message and casted a geminio spell on the antiquity to create a copy to hang in her vanity, she had enough time to hide the original before a house-elf apparated in front of her.

"Breakfast is ready, Madam" said the small creature with a bow

"Thank you Rolim, are the girls ready for breakfast? Said Astoria in a cool but gentle voice.

"They are Madam, Master Draco woke the little ladies to kiss them goodbye an hour ago" Astoria couldn't help the loving smile at the comment.

"Please tell them I'll be down in a minute to have breakfast with them and their grandmother" the elf just nodded and apparated away.

With the elf gone Astoria wrote another message on her mirror before dressing on a simple black dress as she was expected with her son missing, hiding better the mirror before heading down to meet her daughters.

Astoria Malfoy allowed a self-satisfied smile on her face now that she was alone, as the lady of Malfoy manor she was as cunning as any other Slithering in her family and the unexpected turn of events pleased her greatly, the change of heart on her son was a victory on her side on the war against Lucius Malfoy, a victory that will give the final strike to the man who had killed her father and stolen the childhood of her husband and first son.

During the war Lucius Malfoy had put his hopes on the wrong place and had forced his family and many others to walk into destruction, he had forced her father to join Voldemort's army where the poor man had died cruelly as the majority of the dark lord followers, leaving Astoria, her mother and sister at the mercy of the war and the accusations of the new ministry once everything ended.

After the war the Malfoys were able to kept most of their possessions, like the manor or the family symbolic objects like the portraits, books and antiquities but the changeable gold was all gone, taken away by the ministry in payment for the crimes of war. At the end only one family had been desperate enough to risk making an alliance with the Malfoys at that point and of course that family was hers.

Once the war ended the ministry declared widow Greengrass and her daughters completely innocents of any crime, allowing them to keep their gold. But the fragile woman lacked the strength and talent to keep the money and business going; putting them on a delicate situation at the edge of bankruptcy until Lucius offered his protection and ability with gold in exchange of one of her pure-blood, gorgeous girls to be married with Draco.

With her world crumbling down and an 18 year old pretty much pregnant and unmarried daughter, widow Greengrass handed her remaining 16 year old daughter along with the fortune to the man without a second thought, securing herself a comfy and quiet life away from the shadow of war.

At first Astoria had been very scared of her new family but soon discovered that the only monster there was Lucius, still convinced that he could follow the dark lord ideology; her mother-in-law could be as well the ghost of the manor, always indifferent of everything around her, except for her briefs interventions in one or other crucial conversation.

It was actually shocking to find herself falling in love with her husband, but after all he was nothing but a broken and lost boy controlled like a puppet in the stupid plans of his father, but the man was always gentle and compliant with her, and soon the beautiful girl found numerous ways to keep malleable Draco on the palm of her hand. That started the cold war between her and the head of the family.

Lucius was wise to not mistreat Astoria though, after all without her, there wouldn't be a piece of gold on their Gringotts vaults, and was her name and her charity events what kept the investors and allies interested on their business with a charming smile on her beautiful face.

As the new Malfoy's acquisition Astoria had only one big use, besides the money, and it was to give birth to an heir, once accomplished that Lucius expected her to fade on the background but the stubborn woman had simply refused. Astoria was not only beautiful but smart; she kept complaining about Scorpius education as a Malfoy and always had eyes and ears in the family business becoming slowly Lucius's daily nightmare.

She had given her first great blow to the man when Scorpius was seven, after the little boy endured his first lesson of dark magic. By this moment it was obvious that the old man intended to make of her son the next dark lord. As the only heir, Scorpius's education was exclusively in Lucius's hands and with that power over him the man had power over the rest of the family, allies and investors for the foreseeable future, so Astoria broke one of the greatest traditions in Malfoy manor to balance that power.

She got pregnant again.

Scorpius had been Lucius's by right but Mira and Ara were all hers, Astoria made sure to find godfathers and future fiancés for the girls that were loyal to her and not to Lucius; powerful and rich wizards in different countries that would fight for her and her beautiful, blue eyed daughters if the need to confront her father-in-law arose, taking Lucius economy independence away forever.

But the money wasn't her goal, oh no, she needed something stronger and the power of the blonde twins over Lucius was something the man couldn't achieve, Astoria's real weapon was love, because love was stronger than fear and that way the tight grip that Lucius had on Draco and Scorpius was diluted on the love they harbored for the little girls and the need to protect them from any harm (their grandfather included). So the twins had been her most powerful card till now and the light in Malfoy manor.

As it seemed her plans had worked, The fact that her son had fallen in love with a Potter spoke volumes of the lack of control that Lucius had over him, that and Draco's refusal to sign the papers to disown Scorpius or inform his father the name of the "other father" were great rewards after years of sleepless nights trying to find a way to free her loved ones from Lucius grasp.

Right now the real key to destroy Lucius was her unborn grandchild, actually the chosen one's grandchild, with this baby Scorpius's future as dark Lord was dead along with each of Lucius's plans; And Astoria was free to discard the old snake as she pleased with full support from the wizarding community, cleaning finally the Malfoy's name.

Astoria guessed she hadn't been sly with her happiness when a moment after Mira and Ara excused themselves to leave the table, a voice she wasn't used to hear called her attention.

-"you found him"—it wasn't a question and Astoria froze for a moment at Narcissa's Statement, before assuring herself that no one else was listening, not even the girls playing with a cat in the garden.

- "He's got the mirror. Do you know of someone powerful enough to subtract private properties out of Hogwarts?"— Answered Astoria sure that her mother-in-law was always her best allied against Lucius, after all the woman had lost every ounce of faith in her husband during the war.

-"McGonagall was always soft with Potter"—answered the witch with a mischief smile –"that boy will be the strongest heir in centuries"—

Astoria couldn't help the frown on her face; the woman in front of her seemed to have too much information about the situation. Not daring to ask how the woman got so quickly to the conclusion about the Potters, she made the next harmless question.

–"How are you so sure that it will be a boy?"—

- "Because Armand Malfoy casted a curse on his own descendants to assure that the first born of every heir was born male"-

-"How, in the name of Merlin did he do that?" –

-"He sacrificed the first born males of the muggles who lived in this zone while the manor was built"-

Then as if she hadn't revealed the worst crime against muggles of the history of wizarding; Narcissa stood up with her natural grace and indifference saying one more thing before retreating.

-"Send my love to sweet Scorpius, and use my personal chamber's flue; it's the only one that it's not intercepted by Lucius"-

And just like that, the woman who lied to the dark lord disappeared on the hall humming a nursery song.
