The month of July went by quickly for Mia and Draco, their friendship growing every day. A lot of their days were spent in the library, reading up on numerous things for both the pregnancy but also the war they were going to be in the midst of. When they weren't reading, they were training in one of the bedrooms that they'd modified. As they weren't going to train on each other, the risk was too great, they would conjure dummies to train on, poor things didn't know what was coming at them.

Snape had come around a few times, spending the time with his godson, Mia would retire to the roof to let them have their space. Draco would always come up afterwards and tell her what they had talked about. The first one had her holding him tightly as he released his pent up emotions, he was terrified of the coming year because Voldemort had heard he wasn't going to join the Death Eaters, and had been spotted with Mia. Severus warned him about the danger and suggested that he not stay in the Slytherin dungeons.

Hearing that, Mia instantly offered the suite she would be staying in, even though she had no idea how many rooms it would have she knew it was better than nothing. Draco had accepted.

The potions master had also brought around a large supply of different potions to help the witch with her troubles of travelling via Floo. Having attended a number of meetings over the month, she still hadn't found one that worked but was still optimistic one would be found. It was at one of those meetings that Mia had put her foot down and spoke for the first time at a meeting.

It was a week before Harry's 16th, Mia was wearing a dress that showed her bump, it had popped a few days earlier and Draco had been the first to rest his head against his future half-siblings. Albus was talking about the upcoming move of her brother and Molly had put her hand up instantly, "He is more than welcome at the Burrow."

"I'm certain he will agree to that, shifts will be doubled to make sure the Burrow is safe…" the man stopped talking when the witch stood, "Yes Mia?"

"As much as I know Harry would love to spend the remainder of his summer with his family, which the Weasleys are, he and I actually spoke about this on the train ride home. Because of our love for mum and dad, it was decided that he would be joining Draco and I."

The annoyance of the older members was made well known instantly, arguing that they wouldn't allow the Chosen One to be living with a Death Eater's son. Their leader cracked his wand, "That is enough."

"You cannot even consider the idiocy of that suggestion Albus, I mean, Malfoy was second in command, his son…" the same woman who had asked about Mia's presence that first meeting said.

Mia spun and growled at her, "How dare you? Draco Scorpius Malfoy may be unfortunate enough to have had that bastard as his sperm donor but he is nothing like Lucius. You are judging him through the actions of his father so how about we judge Harry the same way? Sure, you remember the good but James Potter was a bully, a pompous brat who thought he was a gift from the gods. Does that mean that my brother is also a bully? A brat? What about the children I carry? Are they going to also be labelled as Death Eaters in-utero because they too share the same blood as Lucius Malfoy? We are not our parents, we are our own person, and even if you think it idiotic, Harry, Draco and I have been able to see beyond the pettiness of our childhood bickering to become friends, and my brother will be perfectly safe staying with us."

"That is well said Mia. Now, what security measures do you have?" Albus asked even though he already knew.

"The best wards that magic could create, you need to be added into them to enter via Floo, Portkey, or apparition. There is a lift but only those keyed in are able to access the floor, if you are a guest you need to be approved by someone who is keyed in, and just so you are aware, there are only 2 people and 3 after Harry comes to stay. Oh and there is no chance for an aerial entrance as the wards block that also."

Knowing it would only be by his say that the Order agreed, and seeing that the two Weasley parents were accepting of the arrangement, Albus nodded, "Very well then, Harry will be staying with Mia and Mr Malfoy. Now, arrangements for guards at the Weasley, Lovegood, and Longbottom residences."

That had been the previous week and now Mia was relaxing in her favourite chair in the large living room waiting for Draco to return upstairs. It was Harry's birthday and also the day that Remus was delivering him to the apartment, so the blonde had head down to wait, save the hassle. Her wand was moving lazily about as she moved decorations about, a large pile of presents already waiting for Harry to unwrap. People were due to arrive in about an hour but she heard the Floo burst to life and the twins grunt as they ran into the other.

"In here!" She was used to them arriving at all hours, they were the most frequent visitor that she and Draco had.

They were there instantly, lifting her so she lay on their laps, a hand each going to the bump, Mia just chuckled and went back to work. It was always the same, they would come in and have her rest on them, their hands going to instantly check on the unborn pair and then stay there, as though they were transferring their mischief into them. All it did was make her heart bloom with love.

"How long until you'll know what you're having?" Fred asked, his head against his brothers over her bump.

"Today actually, I have to do the charm but I'm not doing it until everyone is here," Mia said softly, "It's something that should be done as a family."

George nodded, the hand not on the bump held one of his sister's, "I'm sure we can wait."

"Yeah, wait, I know that you both have started a pool amongst the family on everything from their gender to birth day and appearance," she laughed but wasn't angry.

The pair blushed gently and went back to watching the unborn twins. Mia's smile grew when she heard the lift arrive but she didn't move, despite how it seemed, she was incredibly comfortable, their legs hit all the right spots as she lay like that. Harry shot out from the lift and almost fell over the kitchen in his eagerness to see his sister, "Mia!"

"Harry!" She said with the same enthusiasm, waving from the couch, "Over here."

Being careful to not hurt himself, the wizard hurried over to her, kneeling so they could embrace without having to move her too much, "I've missed you.

"Missed you too"

"And how have these two been treating you?" Harry moved down to give her bump two kisses.

The twins had moved their hands for him but returned to their spot when he was done, "We've been treating Mia like a queen."

"And we're working our butts off for the next generation of pranksters," Fred explained, "We're almost done with the crib."

"That's wonderful," Mia clapped happily, getting up then to embrace Remus, "Well then, everyone get comfortable, the guests shouldn't be too much longer."

"Where are you escaping to?" Harry asked.

The witch blushed but didn't answer, that was Draco after he all but collapsed into his chair, "She has to pee, it's a very frequent thing now."

The men laughed, their laughter getting stronger when Mia's well aimed curse hit her blonde friend, forcing his hair to stand on end.
