Spiders, Sons, and Monkey

Hermione elbowed Harry, "In 10 seconds," she whispered and counted down.

They looked at Bill, George, and Percy…bingo.

Lucius' mouth dropped: Molly's face turned green; and Andromeda covered her mouth giggling. The Floo was activated, "Hello, what is happening? Sorry I am late," it was Charlie, "who are they?" He pointed at the three strangers.

"Have a drink," Harry served Charlie one from a pitcher behind him.

Arthur was heart broken, and he was feeling odd. He was wondering why had he married Molly if the witch he loved was another, one sitting in the same room. Bill was the first to look at Percy and George. They were all in shock.

"Molly what is happening?" Arthur was boiling.

The tiny spider saw Molly pulling out her wand and bit her hand. "Ouch," something bit me, she exclaimed.

The spiders were not 100% honest. Their cure was tied to Hermione and her babies, and she would always have 'Guards' to protect her, 24/7. Spider bites would become the norm for those who threatened the witch's welfare, some with dire consequences.

"Quit the theatrics, I want an answer. How long, when did it start?" Arthur asked Molly.

Molly was silent. "How could this be happening?" Arthur now stood by her.

"I asked, how long have you been with Lucius, since when, until when? I want to know! He was a Death Eater for Merlin's sake. I saw the boys being born, and they we're Weasley. Did you glamour them in your womb? That is on the edge of Dark Magic, you could have hurt them." Arthur was furious.

Hermione sat by Arthur. She called her cousin Marilia who came by, put her hand on Arthur and nodded. Hermione pulled the third vial, put a few drops in Firewhiskey and gave the drink to Arthur. "Drink it."

"My sons, mine, I have four sons, mine," his face shone with happiness, "Mine, my very own, my four sons. I have four sons, and I..."

Charlie cut him, "No, you are wrong, we are Arthur's sons."

"My father is Arthur," Bill looked at Luciu. The brothers nodded.

Percy added, "Though I'd guess that mother has a lot to explain to do." Molly didn't; she'd apparated away, but two seconds later she was back.

She was pale, scared and mute. Harry snickered, Spider brought her back. He just knew it. "Who knows what else she did." Hermione winked and grinned, maybe the bit of blood magic was a charm after all.

"You, you despicable, how could you? Molly was my wife. Since when; until when? You miserable excuse for a wizard, you bloody-slimy-despicable-blond snake." Arthur pushed Lucius with a finger

Andromeda was giggling and giving Molly sly looks. She was a Black and liked comeuppances. Hadn't Molly stolen Arthur from her?

Lucius the stud, was unrepentant, he shrugged a shoulder, "She should had been mine. My parents wouldn't allow it because she was a blood traitor. Besides Narcissa has always loved the brothers. As to when it was over, err, yes, it has been over, ehem, for a while." He moved his hand on the air, like whenever. Albeit nobody knew what a while was, Harry bet not long judging by Lucius's efforts to avoid eye contact.

Arthur looked at Molly who was looking at the floor, she tried the wand again, and made a painful expression. Her hand was red.

"Spidy," Harry mouthed.

"Aha," Hermione answered and both grinned.

Hermione was mad at Molly, but she missed her desserts, particularly the butterscotch pudding, her chocolate cake, her strawberry clotted cream, and the custard pie, actually she wanted one of each. Molly would need friends, she reckoned, desserts first, besides she wasn't that angry to give up her favorites. Ah, Lucius was still rambling.

"I want to you all to take my name, or at least let your children do. Err, Arthur, it was probably wrong, sorry." The sorry came out a bit forced. He wasn't sorry, not one bit, mostly because of his sons.

At the end, it was agreed that he would recognize them, Arthur didn't want to deny them the chances. He was, however breaking his marriage.

Arthur couldn't stop thinking that Molly had been with Lucius while married to him. Maybe till last month for all he knew, he felt like a fool. Now he didn't feel so guilty for his short affair with a new Unspeakable witch, what could he say, he wasn't perfect.

Lucius was already making plans. All forgotten was flirting with Marilia L'Orc. All sorrows were put aside. Draco would return and then he would have five sons. Too bad one hadn't ensnared the price, Miss Granger. Oh well, life was long, and Harry was an Auror, a life full of peril.

Pansy and George Weasley, or was it Malfoy had shared the baby event. Lucius counted, Bill already had one child, and Percy one. He went from losing his only son to six new Malfoy, plus Pansy's, hmm, he wondered if she might be carrying twins. Maybe eight new Malfoy. This was worth many vaults, the best day of his life. He would be the most prolific Malfoy ever, imagine.

The Malfoy magic started working on them once Lucius recognized them, filial bonds were being established. Before long they would all love Lucius, he knew that and basked in the knowledge.

Now after the fact, he apologized to Arthur profusely; and to make it better, he offered him to get out the MoM for a top paying job; he also opened a generous vault for him.

Hermione and Harry had a present to get Arthur going, a big one to set him for life. They had sold two of the priceless gems, there was an envelope for him, and one for Andromeda, as well as a key to a vault in name of Remus for his son Teddy. They wanted to talk to her later about an adoption.

Arthur sat by Andromeda both a little shy, they had been each others first loves, but Bella and Molly had seen that there was no future for them. His drink had nulled a long standing love potion and old feelings were returning.

Andromeda who was also given a potion, was rediscovering her feelings for Arthur.

"Here, drink. This will make it all better. Marilia said you had traces of whatever was given to Harry., it must be true, Marilia can detect the presence of old dark magic." Hermione gave him another drink.

"You will need to give me some answers, you cannot hide." Arthur insisted.

Molly refused to disclose more. She went home to sulk, to find a note from Ginny, she had eloped. It was hopeless, baby spiders were in their futures.

Molly's punishment was far from over. The next day the Aurors came to collect her and Ginny. They found her in the hotel where she was for her honeymoon. In deference to Ginny's pregnancy, she would only get two spankings.

Jericho was all pro it. It fit his master plan, because after the spanking Ginny would want to be away forever. He loved her and didn't want to share her; it was perfect.

It was the first public spanking in 70 years. It was all for show, not painful, but they had to bend in the spanking post.

During the punishment Ginny and Molly had to face those in the room, namely the ministers, all the affronted parties, and the Weasley children, except Ron who had to be away. He was afraid of his comeuppances, and went for a weekend with his new Jamaican girlfriend, a model. Her name was Kina Nancy, niece of a Mr. and Mrs. Nancy.

It was humiliating, and Hermione found out that she wasn't that nice. She enjoyed it, as much as Arthur, Harry and Kingsley did. Her sons did as well and felt somehow vindicated. They were sad for Arthur, but in their hearts they were his children.

Spanking time came and went in a few minutes, a big paddle appeared and whacked Ginny's and Molly's bottom a few times. Though it just stung, it hurt their pride.

Although Rita Skeeter wasn't allowed in the room, she saw a spider pulling an envelope. By the afternoon the pictures of the spanking were all over the place. Many witches were outraged, they called it barbaric, but soon it became a big joke.

Molly made a decision to leave with Ginny. too bad that she was unhappy knowing that her grandchildren would be spiders. Sadly, her punishment wasn't complete since Lucius' solicitor came to deliver a deed to a nice home, and a key to a vault. She also got a letter from Lucius saying they should never see each other again for respect to his sons. She cried some more. The truth was somewhat different, Lucius had no time for witches, he was busy building cottages around the Manor, expanding the nursery, hiring nurses and tutors, and so on. Fortune had had favored him again with a wealth of sons.

Ron had been drinking with his new friends, when one of them, too drunk on piña coladas, decided to share his cool self with Ron, who promptly fainted. Later, Kina convinced him that he had imagined it, who would believe someone turning into a spider? She lied because she loved Ron and didn't want to lose him.

The In-Laws

Harry and Hermione had been staying at her grandparents' home for the last five days. They were in separate rooms; hers was right across her grandparents, so Harry was growing desperate. They had just found each other, and he couldn't even kiss her. Besides, Hermione was never around.

Kreacher had been invited, but he would had to be under a concealment charm around the guests, at least that was their plan.

"Miss Grangy is best for you Mr. Potter. This be nice." He approved of the wealth around him.

Harry was surprised at finding that all their staff were squibs, Hermione was surprised as well once Kreacher duly informed them.

The L'orc relatives were there. Hermione had heard out about them a year or two ago.

"Darling, we need to talk; it is is high time." Her grandfather came to get Hermione and Harry . There were others in the room, though Hermione didn't recognize them.

"My dear, now that you are about to marry it is time you find out. Your choice is predictable, hopefully, later, never mind." Her grandfather started, and turned to look at Harry like he was a cockroach.

"We all told them," he meant, his son and wife,' "that their idea to live 'normal lives' was ridiculous. It is a new trend, the council informed me. The young ones are doing it, the idea of leaving everyone behind, indeed. Your sibblings, spoiled as always, said it was your time, and your father cannot say no. About your father. Hmm."

Harry looked at Hermione he was lost. Whose siblings, what father? She made a face like, 'I have no idea what is going on.'

"Sir, excuse me," the butler who adored Hermione but pretended that Harry didn't exist, came into the room.

"A Mr. Monkey insists that he must see Miss Granger." The buttler announced.

Hermione and Harry looked at each other a little concerned. Monkey was a demigod, nothing good could come out meeting with him, what now? This day was going downhill fast.
