Disclaimer - I own nothing, except the plot!

Francesca Salazar - I honestly liked if Luna was pregnant, but she was very young, and so was Draco. Besides I don't want them to have a baby because they have to. Maybe if they had been closer or showed affection to each other, I could consider for Luna to get pregnant. But so far I will focus more on the conflict between Draco and Luna, as well as the tension between them and other characters. And I hope this chapter will answer your question. Thank you very much ;)

Chapter 11

Draco spends his time by reading and playing Wizard's Chess with his father. While Luna, she is resting. Apparently her health hasn't improved. His mother insists on making an appointment with Allium, but Luna says that she's fine and just needs to sleep. However, from what he witnessed last night, she had trouble sleeping, she didn't sleep all night and it made him have to give her another sleeping draught. His mother had said not to give her sleeping draught constantly. She is afraid that Luna will be addicted or overdose. He had the same opinion, but he didn't know what he had to do to make Luna fall asleep. He had given her a glass of warm milk. He had advised her to read. And another ritual to make her fall asleep, but nothing works.

He sighed heavily as he waited for his father to make a move.

"Patience, Draco," Lucius muttered as he studied the chessboard carefully.

"That's not what I meant," he said as he leaned against the armchair and folded his arms. "It's Luna."

"Does she feel better?" His father asked, not taking his eyes off the chessboard.

"She gets worse," he murmured. "She couldn't sleep last night."

"She may not be used to her new life," Lucius commented. "She doesn't like the way we live, Draco. She prefers the Lovegood's way of life, free."

"Then, she has to get used to, she's married to me, like this is her way of life all her life," he said slightly annoyed. He really wants to let out what he feels on Luna, but she's not in a good condition at the moment.

"You better tell that to her, not me," Lucius said dismissively, still not doing the movement.

Draco rolls his eyes, while his father doesn't see, "I know," he muttered. "Do you know Luna's mother?" He suddenly asked.

Last night after dinner, his mother told him about her friendship with Luna's mother. Apparently they are close friends. They are very close and almost like sisters. According to his mother, Luna's mother looks very similar to Luna, but less dreamy, and not as weird as Luna. Besides his mother, his aunt also knows Luna's mother quite well, so he thinks his father might know Luna's mother too.

Lucius paused before responding briefly, "not really."

Draco narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by 'not really'?"

Lucius sighed, "I know her but we're not friends."

"Didn't you ever say that the Malfoy's and the Malory's were close before I was born?" Draco questioned.

He nodded slowly, "Besides, because of the inter-family partnership, the Malfoy's and the Malory's are close because of the wedding arrangements between me and Pandora," Lucius said.

"What?" Draco was stunned.

"Your grandfather arranged my marriage to Pandora after I was in seventh year," he said flatly. "One day, your grandfather took me to the Malory's residence to court her, but Pandora reject me," Lucius smiled crookedly, nostalgically with his memory. "But of course not in front of your grandfather, Pandora is a polite girl; she rejects me in a good way. Well, since Pandora reject me, I will not make fool of myself, I told your grandfather after we got to the Manor. Your grandfather was furious at me; he refused to talk to me for a few weeks. But when he started wanting to talk to me, he said he would arrange my marriage with your mother," Lucius told him.

Draco is still stunned. He couldn't imagine if Luna's mother married his father. That means, he will not exist, Luna will not exist. How he was grateful for Luna's mother's decision.

"She rejects you because she prefers Xenophilius Lovegood?" Draco asked as he already knew the answer.

"I suppose," Lucius responded. Draco snorted.

"But do you like her? Luna's mother," Draco asked casually as he glanced at the door, just in case his mother came in suddenly.

"Who doesn't?" Lucius commented. "Pandora is beautiful, she is very smart, and she is kind. Certainly she is the kind of woman that many men like, just like Luna."

"Well, if Luna wants to be like her mother, she shouldn't be dressed like clown and talk about weird things," he said.

"But it makes her untouched by any man," Lucius pointed out.

Draco fell silent, that was true. Luna has never been touched by any man; he has proven by himself on the night of their marriage. She is innocent, pure, and she is his. No one before him and no one after him either. He tried to hide his smirk of satisfaction from his father.

...

Luna smiled happily at a letter from her dad. About thirty minutes ago, Trixie brought her a letter from her dad. Her dad didn't say much, he just said that he got safely. Luna didn't know where her dad lived. The only thing she knows is, he lives with the Muggles. Beside the less she knows, the safer her dad is. Just in case something turns wrong, and makes the Dark Lord punish her, he can punish her and not her dad. It was better that way, she thought.

She sighed and rolled up the parchment, then placed it on the night stand. She felt much better. It's like a burden has been removed from her shoulders, she feels lighter, she feels no stress anymore. Maybe that made her feel bad, she was too concerned about her dad. Well, not only on her dad but also her friends. She wondered if they were all right. Are their families all right? She has a lot of things she's worried about in her mind. She was depressed. And a new fact that says she is still part of one of the darkest wizard families, the Malory, only makes her even more depressed. Oh, and she has to open the vault soon, Bellatrix becomes crazier than ever. Tomorrow seems to be the right day. She just had to tell Draco.

...

The next day, Luna and Draco are ready to go to Gringotts. Both have been dressing as best as possible, indicating that they came from wealthy family. Luna didn't understand why bother showing your wealth to public? But she didn't say that to Narcissa or Draco, she just kept her mouth closed while Narcissa picked out the best dress she had. Beside she will visit the Malory's vault; this is the first time for Luna and Draco to appear in public after marriage. Lucius had told her not to let go of Draco's arm from hers, and she had to smile to show that she is happy to marry Draco.

While Luna feels confused, Draco is on the other side, he's restless. What if the vault is not open? What if Rendall Malory rejects him? According to his father he was worse than his grandfather. That fact didn't help him in the least; he just got even more nervous. His palms were sweating, he was nervous, but he refused to show anyone.

After he and Luna arrived at Gringotts, he immediately told a Goblin about their purpose. The Goblin just smiled arrogantly at them as he said that his wife was a Malory. How he hates this filth creature.

The Goblin doesn't say much, he just talks if it is necessary. He simply took them to the Malory's vault. The vault is located deep inside. Either Draco or Luna have never gone that deep in Gringotts, it really shows how old the vault is.

"We're here," the Goblin tells them. Draco and Luna didn't answer. Both were stunned with the vault, it was huge, especially the door, it was bigger than the door of the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Draco wonders if he can push the door alone, it's so big, he has never seen such a big door before. Damn, the Malory's, he thought.

"How supposed I open it?" Luna asked, didn't take her eyes of the giant doors.

"Here," the Goblin muttered, pointing at something like a sink, but much smaller nears the door. "Drop your blood here."

Luna peeked. It really looks like a sink, she thought. There's a hole in it, that's where she has to drip her blood.

"How much blood is needed?" Draco asked as he glanced into the sink.

"Ten each of you," the Goblin replied as he pulled out a small knife.

"That's quite a lot," Luna commented as she released her arm from Draco's.

"I'll do it first," Draco said, ready to take the knife from the Goblin.

"No," the Goblin pulled the knife out of Draco's reach. "Ladies first," he muttered as he handed the knife to Luna. "If it is true she is the Malory, she must do it first. Let's see if the first padlock opens," he mumbles arrogantly.

Draco resisted the urge to break the Goblin in half. How dare he talk like that to him?

"Cut it deep," the Goblin reminded as Luna was ready to cut her finger.

Luna swallowed. She presses the knife into her finger until it bleeds. She stifled a grunt that would escape from her mouth. She cut deeper. She let her blood flow into the hole.

"You okay?" She heard Draco asked, his voice filled with concern. She just nodded as she counted the blood drops.

After the tenth count, she pulled her hand away and wrapped it in a handkerchief, then she handed the knife to Draco, before Draco could reach for a knife. They hear the noise from the vault; they hear the movement from the vault. Spontaneously, they turned to the giant door. Nothing happened, but they knew that one of the locks was open. There is no doubt that Luna is a Malory.

"Now it's your turn," the Goblin told him.

Taking a knife from Luna, Draco snarls in disgust, "I know!" He holds the knife tightly, and then cuts his finger in one motion. He winced slightly but didn't make a sound. He is Draco Malfoy, he mustn't be weak.

As he let his blood drip in the hole, Draco counted. He felt uneasy. Part of him says that this will not work, it will not open. But the more arrogant part of him says that he needn't worry. He is a Malfoy. What kind of family rejects a Malfoy as part of their family? He is more than worthy to be Luna's husband.

When finished, Draco pulls his hand away and receives a handkerchief from Luna and wraps his finger. His eyes turned to the giant door. Why nothing happened? Maybe it takes time. All three stood there for more than four minutes and nothing happened, no sound whatsoever. Draco felt humiliated. The vault is not open!

A/N - Rodolphus and Rabastan will soon join the others.
