I woke up late and I saw an owl waiting for me on the coffee table. I took the letter and I gave it a treat from the bowl that Hermione kept near the windows. I sat on the couch looking at my love sleeping peacefully. I hoped this was not carrying bad news.
'Mr. Riddle,
We looked into your health account and we found that you are probably sterile due to your fading and return 3 years ago.
We could make an appointment to see if this could be reversed because one of the requirements of the marriage's law is that you are supposed to have children with your intended.
Write back with a possible date for your checking,
Yours sincerely
Miss Umbridge'
My first reaction was to be hurt, how she could cheat on me? But I remembered I was her first and that she was spending almost every minute of her day with me. Who could try to do this? I needed to think.
I pressed my finger on my mark calling Severus and Lucius and they arrived ten minutes later. They were a little sleepy.
"Good morning gentlemen, are you ok?" I said smirking
"We had a late date with our intended and she is a little minx," Lucius said
"Yeap and we are getting old for her. Anyway, how can we help you?" Severus asked and I gave him the letter.
"Bullshit, she is not cheating on you!" Lucius said. "Who could do this?"
"I don't know but even if I trust her, I'm getting restless," I said
"Ok, let me do this. " Severus said pointing his wand to my groin.
"Are you fucking mad!" I yelled.
" Nope, I want to check something, so shut up," he said seriously, "Somebody is trying to make you believe my sister cheats on you and I want to show you that you don't have problems."
"Sorry, I'm not used to have a wand pointing my cock. Just do the test." I said uncomfortably.
"fecunditatis experimentum" he said and a gold light glowed around me. "Ok, you can give her a lot of children, as many as you want. Now the problem is the same, why write this and who is after that?"
"Is disturbing and I want to know who could do this. Who is this woman?" I asked
"Hello brother, what is the problem?" Hermione was up, "Love, are you ok?"
I just shook my head and gave her the letter, a bit surprised about her reaction.
"I'M GOING TO KILL THE FUCKING TOAD! WHO SHE BELIEVE SHE IS? IT WAS NOT ENOUGH WITH THE BLOODY FUCKING QUILLS, SHE HAS TO TRY TO FUCK UP MY LIFE AGAIN?" She yelled and we jumped, "Sorry it's the hormones"
"Dear, do you know this woman?" I asked
"Yeap, but I think my brother could be better to talk about her. She used to be our teacher and she was mad." She said
"Ok, giving her to the centaurs did not help with her sanity." Severus said smirking and after he sobered, "She used to use blood quills for her detentions."
"Yes, I remember that," She said showing us her hand.
"Do not speak until you are asked?" I asked
"She said I should learn my place as a mudblood." She said starting to cry.
I took her into my arms and she put my head near my heart. Severus and Lucius were looking sad.
"I'm sorry I never knew about this until she left. I would help you if any of you would say a word about this." Severus said taking her hand.
"I know, but she put a spell on us and we could not tell any professor about it." She said.
"Ok, we need to know who could do this; I will owl the headmaster and we will find them, I don't think is only one person. Why try to break up your couple?" Lucius said
"Because of this couple, I stopped with the revels and I made a truce with the order and the ministry. We are working to help the muggleborns to enter to our word and have knowledge of our culture. We are letting them have a good life and have a relationship with their muggle families. Because of this relationship, we ended the war and some people are losing what they thought was their right." I said angrily. "We need to make a list of possible death eaters who could do this starting with the Lestrange."
"Mia, we need you to be careful until the binding ceremony. We want you to stay at the manor all the time with one of us. Somebody wants to hurt you. I will go with Tom to the ministry now and we will refute this accusation." Severus said, "Lucius will stay with you, try to rest little sister."
We left the house and we entered the atrium of the ministry, the wizard on the desk panicked when he saw me and Severus snorted. I gave him my wand and after some checking, we went to the office we were looking for.
"We are here to see the minister," Severus said
"Who should I announce?" the witch said without looking at us.
"Maybe if you look at us you will not need the answer," I said icily and she startled. She looked at me and run to the office, telling us that she would announce us.
"Geez, did you need to scare her like this?" Severus asked
"She was getting on my nerves; she did not bother to look at us!" I said angrily
"Typical ministry bad behavior, they think they are making a favor to us working here," Severus said
"Mister Riddle, Severus, please come with me," Kingsley said, "I'm the new minister. Fudge was sacked when we found out he made this law pass to get married with your intended."
"He wanted to marry Hermione Granger?" Severus asked
"Yes, that was his idea but Dumbledore was smart preparing the ritual. So, how is everything and how can I help you?" Kingsley asked.
"I got this letter today and it bothers me that this woman thinks she could interfere into my private life like this. Hermione is pregnant and she is practically telling that she cheats on me." I said.
"She is giving me bad headaches lately but I think somebody is helping her. I'm very happy about you are moving on and ending the war." Kingsley said
"I'm happy with her and we could discover all the heirs." I said, "Will you help us with her?"
"Yes, I know Severus would want to test you procreation abilities and I will sign as a witness if you need it." Kingsley said, "We need to stop this"
Severus nodded and told me to stand up, pointing again his wand on my pants.
"I know that this is the way but I don't like it," I said embarrassed
"Is better than have your fatherhood contested," Severus said and I nodded.
He proceeded with the test and Kingsley wrote a paper proving my fertility.
"Now, we will go to the manor to do the same with Hermione. After we make the test, we will call Dumbledore to plan our attack on this group." Kingsley said and we went to the floo.
Lucius was reading on the sitting room and Hermione was sleeping with her head on his lap.
"It's still strange to see you like this Malfoy," Kingsley said
"Why? I always wanted a little sister and she is wonderful. I like to take care of her like this." Lucius said, "Do we need to wake her up for the test? She was tired."
"No, I can do the test like this?" Severus said and said the spell to prove the paternity.
We had a blue light tying the babies to me. Nice, I knew she did not cheat but it was nice to see this.
"Good, Severus go floo the headmaster as I write the papers for this," Kingsley said.
"Good, I will take her to bed and I will be here soon," I said taking her on my arms.
She was at the beginning of her second month and she got tired easily. When I came back to the sitting room Dumbledore was there with Moody and Lupin.
"So, somebody wanted to make think our Hermione is a whore?" Moody said, "I do not like you but this girl is the most loyal person I ever saw."
"We face a new problem; we had some tips about a new group trying to use your old way to take over the wizarding world." Dumbledore said, "Do you have an idea who would be behind this plot?"
"The Lestrange, maybe Macnair, the crazy twins." I said closing my eyes, "I thought I could leave all this behind"
"Tom, you need to protect her, they will try to hurt her." Lupin said, "She is my friend and we will help you. We will be there to protect her."
"Thanks, we are thankful. I will have to reinforce the wards and I will give you the list of the person who will be able to enter. We need to check on the possible suspects but we need the test to let go. We have to pretend that we did not think too much about this." I said and they nodded
"It's too strange to think I'm working with you and that you are actually trying to end this madness," Moody said
"As your fellow friend said, love is a powerful thing," I said smiling, "I will go to see her, Lucius and Severus will stay with you."
