Chapter 11
For several days I lay in bed crying or staring off into space. I hear people try to talk to me but it's no use. After a few more days I tried to astral project again to see if it was one of my powers that came with the transformation. After a few hours I got it. I astral project myself to the living area and watch as everyone talks. Draco looks like hell which of course I didn't notice before. "What should I do? She's not eating or talking. I don't think she even realizes I'm there half the time. I'm upset over the baby too but I'm more upset over her lack of response." Draco says. "It's going to be ok. She just lost her baby and Veela's are very aggressive creatures who only love family but when they do it's with fierceness like nothing else." Blaise says patting Draco's back. Then I notice Draco is shaking, crying. I can no longer watch and go back to my body. About 15 minutes later Draco comes in with red rimmed eyes. "Adrie?" he asks hesitantly. I look over at him. His face lights up at such a little response. "Adrie I know it's only been a couple days but you need to get up and move on." he says. Finally my wings go back into me. I sit up and Draco is instantly by my side. He takes my hand and helps me to my feet. I shuffle along as he leads me to the den where all our friends are waiting. "Hi Adrie...how are you?" Ginny asks coming up and putting her arm around me. I just look at her. "She isn't talking but what we say is apparently being acknowledged." Draco says guiding me to a chair. I sit there unmoving. I shift my eyes around to everyone and they are all staring at me. "Darling you need to say something." Draco says. I just look at Draco. "Hun do you want some tea?" Hermione says. I shake my head. It took another day for me to leave the dorm but even then I walk out on Friday in a dress with velvet blood red body and black see through long sleeves and a long trim, fishnet stockings and thigh length black velvet boots with spiked heels. And when I go outside I wear a cashmere cape. Everyone stares at me, not use to seeing me in dark clothes. After the day Dumbledore comes to our dorm. I still had yet to talk. "Miss Richards how are you doing?" he asked sitting down next to me. "She's not talking, sir." Draco says. I see a twinkle in his eye. Hello Miss Richards. My eyes widen. Did he just talk to me in my head? I think to myself. Yes indeed Miss Richards. He replies in my head. How can you do this? I ask. Simple my dear we both are part Angel Nymph. He states. But I thought there was only one every 50 years? I ask. You forget dear, I'm over 200 years old I've seen 4 Angel Nymphs. He says. So why am I an Angel Nymph if no one in my family was ever an Angel Nymph? I ask. Because the angel St. Valeria picks someone who is destined to do great things. I for example was the first to stand up to Voldemort. He explains. But what can I do? I ask. That is what I cannot wait to see. Once everyone knows what you are you will be the most famous witch in the world. He says with a smile. Sir...I don't want to be famous I am going to be Draco Malfoy's wife; I will get enough attention as it is. I say. Very well if that is what you wish. He says as he gets up and is about to leave. Oh and Adrienne, do talk soon Draco is getting so worried. Look at him he's paler than normal, not as groomed, and has dark circles under his eyes. He says as he steps through the door. I look up and see that he is right. Draco's hair is messy up and looks greasier than normal, his eyes looked hallow and dark. I get up and walk over to Draco. "Draco?" I say. He picks me up in a hug. Everyone is awe struck. He kisses me hard and picks me up spinning me around. He looks at me after he puts me down. "Let's get married!" he says. "What?" I ask. "This winter break in the gardens of Malfoy Manor we can get married." he says light shining in his eyes. "Ok" I say with a smile. Ginny and Pansy squeal. "I will write to mother." Draco says. I decide to write to my mom also.
Dear Mother,
As you know I had a miscarriage due to not being full Nymph yet. Now that I am I will have a child soon, but before I have a child I need to marry. This is why over winter break I will be having my wedding. I am just now talking again and Draco was so thrilled that he suggested we have the wedding soon. Please try and schedule a time to meet with Lady Malfoy and me to talk about the wedding. See you soon.
Love,
Your Daughter
I get my owl and send it to my mom the same time Draco does. About 10 minutes later the fireplace glows green and my mom steps through. "Oh darling your finally talking!" she says hugging me showing unusual care in public. "Hello mother." I say. The next second the fireplace glows green again. This time a petite lady with blonde hair walked out in emerald robes. "Mother." Draco greets. "Hello my dragon." she says kissing his check. "Mother this is Adrienne Richards and her mother." he says taking my hand. "Ah my dragons dark angel!" she says kissing both checks. "Hello Lady Malfoy I'm Julia Richards." my mother says. "Yes I have looked you up once I found out who my dragon was marrying." she says. "you are married to Devine Richards, you are a stay at home mother while your husband does 2 jobs, head of the mystical creature division of the ministry and a CEO of a big company in the muggle world. Though I don't know why. You are a water nymph and your husband is a veela. You have a pet dog named Luis. And a son named Oliver. What I couldn't find and want to know is why your name, your husband names, and your son's name are all nice things like, youthful, divine, and beauty. But you named you daughter Adrienne which means dark. Why?" she says before my mother could say anything. "She was born a month early due to the fact that she was born with the cord wrapped around her neck. Naturally in the wizard world she would die so to prevent that we went to a community of water nymphs and they have special magic that saved her so as she was being born, we noticed her eyes were black and had black hair. So we named her dark in French." my mother explains finally able to talk. Draco was crying after hearing this story. "My mate almost died before I could save her!" he says holding me. "Draco darling this explains those nights as a child were you cried without stop. Your veela must have known something was wrong." his mother says. "Oh you've loved my daughter before you knew her!" my mother cries hugging us. "Honestly this display of affection is unnecessary." Lady Malfoy says. We pull apart.
