Chapter 9 The arrival
Harry's POV
I was running, I was running, I than skidded to a stop, three more steps and I would be out of the Malfoy's yard, well there yard was massive, but three more steps I would trigger a loud response and I would be in trouble I collect the ball, lucky it wasn't out of the area… The Malfoy owns much land but I can only be in their front yard.
I threw the ball, really it was a quaffle but Lord Malfoy didn't want us flying, Draco smiled at me, suddenly a house elf was running towards us, "Master Draco, Master Harry, you be coming inside Mistress be taken by Master to hospital she be having the baby." At once we both ran inside (the quaffle lay forgotten) Lucius had already gone to the hospital and Bellatrix (I glare) was to take Draco, I was to wait in my room.
"But I want to come," I wine to Draco, Draco turned.
"I'm sorry mate but can you please wait here, if someone comes looking for Dad they need to know his busy?" I give him an angry look, "Harry you know you can't come, I will tell you if I find something out I promise." He hugged me and left with his aunt.
I was alone.
Wasn't I apart of the family, they said I was, Narcissa always told me that now Sirius is dead (I hate you Bellatrix) living with Sirius next living sane (and Narcissa emphasized sane) relative is expectable. And since Narcissa's older sister is MIA and Bella is nuts I am to stay with them.
Wasn't I important?
I sit on the couch and sneered, "Something wrong?" it was the the ware wolf Draco's 'body guard' apparently all he does is waltz around the manor and have intercourse with female death eaters, everyone knows about it but no one does anything about it.
"Lady Narcissa is having the baby," I say, encase he was to 'occupied' to hear about it.
"Yes I know, what are you doing about it?" I turn to him.
"Pardon?"
"I thought you be in the babies room laying flowers or making a congrats card for them, you are their little man after all." I almost snare, yes but I am here, and they are at the hospital… as a family. "You think they don't love you?" God I must be oblivious since this guy has the emotional span of a walnut, "Harry if you leave the manor the dark lord could kill you, granted it's unlikely he will today as Narcissa is in labour but really do you want to go through that?"
I felt selfish. "Want to go and help me paint a doll house?" I ask, I knew Lucius had a doll house (just encase it's a girl) hand made from France but they forgot to paint it, the doll house sat next to the enchanted bug pit that looks like bugs in their wild habitat so if Narcissa has a boy… or twins there set. Lucius and Draco always meant to paint the doll house but never got around to it. They said I could if I liked. As I go into the Nursery I noticed Narcissa had left her overnight bad, realising someone will need to get it I finish packing it (you can never have enough socks) and I go to their room and put a shirt in for Mr Malfoy and one for Draco as I assume he would be over night. I must be more psychic than the old teacher I once had because Lucius came in looking very worried, without a word I handed him the bag,
"I knew you would be an angel," he said with a smile, "I'll let you know the second there is news," I nod and like that he was out of there.
I spent the rest of the day with the werewolf painting the doll house making cookies, (through he watched) and making a congrats card.
I was getting worried as it got dark, there was no news, the old saying no news is good news does not apply here!
I ate my dinner in silence the werewolf next to me, I wasn't quite sure of what I would do without the amazing house elf's, my dinner was nice and yummy and I had a chocolate milkshake , while the werewolf had rare steak.
"Go to bed after your dinner I'll let you know if there is any news," I did as I was told I was a good boy according to the werewolf I laid down on my soft bed and allowed him to tuck me in, the feared wolf tucked me in.
He soon left and I curled up and was fast asleep within minutes.
The dark lord POV
"Has she had the baby yet?" I asked Bellatrix she shook her head, "oh well soon I will have another grandchild, is she doing okay?" I asked Bella nod smiling.
"Yes she is very strong its she will be having the baby any time now there seems to be no problems despite Narcissa's… umm age," Narcissa is over forty so there will be more risks than when she was pregnant with Draco.
Bella sat down she had been at the hospital for some time and I knew she was tired I also knew the hostage was at home with the wolf last I heard he was putting shirts for Lucius and Draco in Narcissa's bag.
Harry will not be visiting Narcissa in hospital even through it's a good photo opportunity I don't want her too stressed out. I knew the boy has mixed feelings but in truth he is probably the safest half-blood around. Lucius is a powerful member of the death eaters, my right hand man and Harry Potter is his ward. Harry will one day know how lucky he is. I planned to go to the hospital soon but not until she had the child, I had some presents for the child but it wouldn't be useful until the child is older it wasn't much just some bonds and a private account at the bank. It was just a small account like a child saving account. It had a little money in it, but because the child will grow up in a high society lifestyle he or she will probably never use it but it's important for me to know I have done well for my family. "That's good," I say, "Bella do you want a child?" she nodded,
"Yes I always have" for some reason I think of Rod he has recently 'came out of the closet,' and still wants a child I smile softly I had given Rod the 'folder' which was all the children who need to be adopted as an orphan myself I wanted to adopt everyone of magic out. Rod is yet to find a 'partner' but I am sure he soon will, I care for Rod a lot I feel like I should help find the man a partner, I set Severus and Rod up on a date but I don't think it went well… Severus threatened to chop Rod up as potion agreements if he tried to kiss him again.
Despite popular belief I had no ill feelings towards Rod he handled his divorce well he truly loved Bella in his own way and wanted to make her happy, he always have.
"As an orphan, I was hoping we could adopt." She smiled at me, I knew she wasn't happy I don't blame her she wants to see her blood line continue but to be truthful I don't want a mini Bellatrix running around.
"Sure love." She said, I hug her, and kept her warm. Nagini slithered into the room; Harry earns some extra money watching Nagini some nights. But mainly I want to make sure how Harry and Draco are doing, the two were close but it was more a big brother little brother relationship than lovers. He and Draco could be lovers someday I think I'd like that my Grandson happy.
But that day was a long way off, Harry is barely at a strong mental age he was way too young, but that was no problem as we are all going to live forever. I had found a solution to Lucius problem Narcissa and Draco will house his horcruxes and not objects like me (I would say the baby would house a piece of my sons soul too but that might upset her development). And just last night Lucius agreed it was a good idea, Narcissa agreed they are yet to tell Draco but he will understand in time. Of course we will have to wait some time before Narcissa is strong enough to actually hold the Horcrux after all there is some risk involved.
Before I could say anything an owl flew in I grabbed letter, it was from Draco I recognised the hand writing.
'Aunt Bella,'
'Mum had the baby a girl, healthy, come to hospital soon. Draco'
Words could not describe my happy emotions.
