With a sigh I glanced at the picture of me and Draco underneath the article, we were at one of the many Malfoy balls, looking at each other with love in our eyes. He still had not written me.
"Anything good?" Sirius asked, walking into the kitchen in only his boxers, scratching his chest
"The usual. Draco and my weddings announcement is the only excitement." I replied "Kreachers out done himself this morning." I commented, looking at the abundance of food in front of me.
"You're announcing it already?" Sirius questioned, dropping into a chair opposite me and picking at the breakfast
"We're rushing it." I explained with a shrug
"Right. What you up to today then?"
"Me and Harry are going to hit the Alley."
"Oh, shopping!" He squeaked like a girl "Can I come?"
"You sure you're not gay?" I asked, he chucked a bit of his food at me,
"Defiantly not." He told me, pointing his finger at me "But plllllease can I come shopping with you?"
"I swear you're gay." Harry muttered walking into the room in the same state as his god father
"I am NOT!" He told us, putting on his most manly voice "I just enjoy the finer things in life." I laughed "Can I?" he asked, pouting. I looked over at Harry and shrugged
"Fine." He sighed, taking his own food
"Well, I am going to get ready for what I am sure will be a media circus-"
"Why?" Harry asked, watching as I stood up
"The two saviours of the wizarding world our going out together, the day of my wedding announcement without the man I'm getting married to. There's going to be reporters crawling all over us. And for that, I need to look my best."
"We don't have to go." Harry offered
"No, no. I want to." I assured him "I just need to go with a face on." I told him with a sigh "You two will be ready by eleven." I told them, looking over to the clock "That gives you just over an hour."
With a final simile I left the room, my tea in hand and walked to the room I had slept in. "Gypsy!" I called, walking through to the bathroom to start the shower
"Yes missus?" the house elf asked, appearing in the middle of the room
"Can you please get me a dress suitable for a day shopping, but that will look good, I have a feeling I am going to have my photo taken today. And can you tell Draco that I am going to the Alley with Sirius and Harry and if he has got over himself, to come and meet me?"
"Yes missus." She replied, disappearing with a crack. With a sigh I stripped of my night clothes and climbed into the shower, washing myself and my hair quickly. Once out I did a quick anti-hair spell on the lower half of my body and brushed my teeth.
I was determined to keep my mind of Draco, he was the one that was being silly. I know it was hard for him, and I know he has a lot to think about, but he should know that I was not going to leave him.
"Missus?"
"Gypsy." I smiled, walking to pick up my wand from the bedside table and going to sit in front of the mirror on the wall. Gypsy laid a dress on my bed
"Would miss like Gypsy to help her get ready?" She asked, standing behind me
"Please. Could you dry my hair? And put some light waves in?" I asked, watching as she walked over to me "What did Draco say?" I asked when she had started her task
"He was drunk missus." She informed me "He's been drinking since yous left us last night missus." I nodded slowly
"Thank you." I muttered, eyeing my finished hair. It was simple, all waved and I ran my hand through the side parting and flipped it over to the side of my head, letting the hair fall their and pulling the rest round so it rested on my shoulder.
"Is that all missus?"
"Yes. Can you make sure that Draco doesn't do anything stupid please?" I asked the small elf
"Yes missus." She replied, before disappearing. With a heavy sigh I waved my wand over my face and sorted my make up, it was light, just foundation and mascara and a bit of blusher. I stood, walking to the bed and picking up the simple dress. It was red at the top, until my waist where a black ribbon pulled it in and it flared out, the material white. It ended about mid thigh and I grabbed a pair of white wedges and a whit small soldier bag, throwing in my wand and some galleons as well as my lip gloss.
With a sigh I grabbed a robe and shrunk it, fitting it in the bottom of my bag, before wandering of to find Sirius and Harry.
They were waiting for me in the Kitchen, and we were soon all of to Diagon Alley, ready for a day of shopping.
I was walking between the two men, both of them holding some of the bags of things I had already brought. We were lucky, the press were not around at the moment, but then we had only been in the Alley for a short time, diving from shop to shop as quickly as possible.
The people in the street were openly gaping at us, whispering behind their hands as we walked, a smile on my face as I listened to the two boys talk.
"I wish they would just stop talking." I muttered "I'm fed up of having to keep a smile on my face, knowing that these idiots are all talking about me." I told the boys
"We know, believe me I know what you're going through." Harry reassured me "It will past soon, and then they will find the next thing to gossip about."
"Wish they would hurry up."
"Oh, don't worry about it." Sirius said, smiling at a witch "What shop next?"
"We haven't hit the quidditch shop yet."
"Ugh." I groaned
"We've gone to all your shops, even holding your bags!" Sirius said, a smirk on his face as he knew I would give in
"Fine, fine. But not too long, please." I begged "I don't-"
"MISS SNAPE!" Was called making me jump slightly and turn, a sigh on my lips as soon as I realised who had called my name, my peace had ended.
"Mia?" Harry asked, turning just in time to see a horde of reporters running towards us, their voices already shouting and their cameras flashing
"Knew they'd find us." Sirius sighed, turning me around so I wasn't facing them and wrapping his arm around my shoulder, pulling my into him just as they reached us, circling us. Harry and Sirius stood tight either side of me, taking the hits an jolts that was happening around us
"Miss Snape, where's your fiancée?"
"Miss Snape, how did he propose?"
"Can we see the ring Miss Snape?"
"How does it feel to be getting married without your father?"
"Have you any leads on your brother?"
"Harry Potter! Have you been asked to be part of the wedding?"
"Mr Potter what are yours Miss Snape's and Mr Black plans today?"
"Where is Mr Malfoy today Miss Snape?" Sirius pulled me tighter to him as the questions kept coming and the flashed blinded me, pushing his way through the crowd and into the nearest shop, the sales assistants slamming the door closed as soon as we were inside.
"I knew it would be bad, but really?" I muttered pulling away from Sirius "You two ok?" I asked, looking at my two protectors
"Yeah were fine, just some bruises. They are some rough people." Sirius said, looking out the window where they were all perched, trying to squash themselves against the window to see what we were doing.
I took that time to look around the shop we were in. "Well, this is embarrassing." I muttered, a blush on my cheeks as I realised we were in a lingerie shop.
"Need some new undies, love?" Sirius asked with a smirk as Harry blushed
"Do you have a floo I could use?" I asked, ignoring Sirius who was looking around the store and Harry who was bright red
"It was shut off." She muttered "They were using it to get into town." She told me, nodding towards the reporters, and offering me an apologetic smile.
"Looks like were going back out there, boys." I called, pulling Sirius away from some leather underwear.
"But I like it in here." Harry shrugged and pulled me back, allowing Sirius to go first and Harry put me between them.
We pushed our way through the crowd, my head down to block the flashes of the reporters. I could feel Harry behind me and see Sirius in front of me.
Sirius was pushed back, so he was now beside me, the force of the reporters too strong for him alone. But we kept walking, me lifting my head so I could see where I was going now I did not have him to use for direction. Harry took hold of my hand, making sure he knew I was there, as Sirius started shouting at the people surrounding us, trying to get them to move.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed, a flash from below me making me jump in fright as I realised that there was actually a reporter on the floor, trying to get a picture up my skirt.
"GET AWAY!" A new voice shouted, as Sirius jumped into action, pulling the reporter up by his shirt and throwing his camera to Harry, who smashed it, destroying all evidence of the photo, as Sirius laid into the man. I stumbled back slightly, confused as to what the hell had happened, why would someone wont a picture up my skirt? I wondered before moving forward, trying to get to the fighting men.
My effort was stopped as the reporters pulled me back, this time keeping me out of harms way, instead of trying to get their answers.
I looked briefly towards the new voice and let out a breathe of relief as I saw Draco running towards us.
Sirius was still punching the unknown man, and Harry was trying to pull him of, but the look on his face made me think that maybe it was because he wanted a go at the man.
Draco pushed past me, pulling Sirius of the man with one hard pull from both him and Harry, and the reporters moved in, getting pictures of all the men involved in the scuffle, shouting questions so loud my head was buzzing.
I was still in shock from what the man had tried to do, shaken up slightly as Draco wrapped an arm around me and barged his way through the crowd. We walked silently to the Leaky cauldron, the reporters not following us in and Harry and Sirius following us. It had all happened so quickly my head was still spinning, my hands shaking slightly from the shock.
Draco pushed me into a booth, ordering Harry to get me something with sugar in it as he sat beside me. "You OK?" He asked, pushing my hair back and taking my hands in his
"She's pale." Sirius commented, standing behind the chair opposite us "Here." He took his coat of and passed it to Draco, letting him wrap it around my shoulders, and wrapping my arms. "I'm going to talk to Tom, make sure they are not getting in. You ok?"
"Thanks" I mouthed as he walked away, turning towards Draco.
"They are getting too lenient." Draco muttered "I will have father look into it." I nodded, looking up at Draco
"You ok?" I asked, wrapping my arms around him
"Me? I haven't just been-"
"You know what I mean Draco." He sighed, and pulled me to him
"I am so sorry for the way I treated you." He told me "I realise now that I was wrong to do that, and i know that you would not leave me."
"Never." I assured.
"Now we just need to decide what to do."
"Do you really need to think about it?" I asked, checking to see we were actually alone
"No." He breathed "Looks like we're going to be parents."
"Thought so." I replied with a smile, moving closure to him.
"Mia." Draco called, walking down the hallway to where I was resting against a doorframe, looking into a room "What are you doing?"
"Thinking."
"Thinking?" he asked, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist "About what?"
"The room."
"What about the room?" he asked, resting his head on my shoulder as we both looked into it. It one of the many rooms in Draco's wing a couple of doors down from our own room.
"Well, were going to be redecorating for Ava right? And maybe Aaron?" I asked, leaning back into his body
"Yes we will be, you won't to do this room as well?"
"Yeah." I nodded
"What were you thinking?"
"Well, you have your rooms and Cissy has hers and Lucious has his, and I don't."
"Because you don't live here, yet." Draco muttered, holding me tighter
"Exactly, yet. And I'm here most the time anyway, so I was wandering if I could make this room mine?"
"You could make all the rooms yours if you really wanted to."
"So that's a yes?"
"That's a yes." I smiled "What were you thinking?"
"Rugs, pillows, a bookshelf on that entire wall, the fire place will stay, a nice big chair in front of it. The entire floor redone with a shag pile carpet, and pillows and other soft things thrown about."
"Sounds like you have it all planned out." I nodded with a smile
"I was thinking something like an Arabian theme."
"Sounds great." I smiled, turning in his arms
"I was also thinking we could get Ava to help with the decorating of her room, let her pick things out. The colours and that."
"That's a great idea." He smiled "You can go over it all with her tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" I gasped
"I'm going to bring them here today, and take them home maybe tomorrow, I'm trying to let the old hag give me more time, so we can ease her into this life."
"You said them." I told Draco, taking his hand as we walked down the corridor
"Ava and Aaron."
"You're going to take them both?"
"We're going to take them both." Draco informed me
"That's a lot of responsibility." I told him, turning to face him
"Then we need to sort ourselves out."
"And we have a wedding to plan."
"No, you have a wedding to plan, I have a wedding to pay for." He laughed, I hit his arm, turning and starting our walk again "Speaking off, mother wants you in the dining room. Something about wedding dresses." My smile widened as I quickened my pace
"What you going to do?"
"I've got some papers to go over, and then I'm going to go get Ava and Aaron."
"Wont me to come with you?"
"No, you be here for a welcoming face. Maybe keep the parents away until tomorrow; we don't won't to overwhelm them."
"That's going to be hard. Cissy is dying to meet her."
"You'll do it." Draco said, stopping outside his office, and giving me a kiss "I will see you in a couple of hours."
"Good luck." I smiled, before turning my back and walking to where I was meeting Cissy.
"Mr Malfoy!" I smiled, watching as he walked towards me
"Mia." He replied, nodding towards me
"Do you have any plans for tonight?" I asked,
"No, I thought we would meet Draco's barstard." I flinched at the word but kept my face neutral
"Do you think you could take Cissy out for the night? We don't won't to thrust the poor girl into to much at once."
"Fine." Lucius said "I am not looking forward to meet her anyway." He told me, walking away
"Thank you." I said after him, watching his back.
"Mia, sweetheart." Cissy smiled, greeting me with a hug at the door "I have some bridal magazines, a bottle of the finest elf wine and a girl prone to squealing in here."
"Pansy?" I asked happily
"The one and only." I moved past Cissy and ran to Pansy hugging her tight
"Well you two, we only have a couple of hours, let's get to it." Cissy ordered, sitting down and passing us both a glass of wine. "Now, we will all look through the magazines, and write down what we like and what we don't like." She said, handing us a parchment and quil "The wedding is not far away so we need to get the dress maker as soon as possible, which means knowing what you want."
I grabbed the nearest magazine and started flicking through, writing down all the things I didn't like, and the things I did, sipping from my glass and having to laugh at certain dresses.
In under an hour we had finished, the task taking half the time we thought it would, and we were now designing a dress. My dress.
"Three dresses?" I gasped, shocked
"One that you will wear during your ceremony, one for the meal and then one for the after party. And of course we will have to keep the making of them top secret by commissioning some fake ones." I was still getting my head around the fact that I was going to have three dresses,
"But I don't even know what I want for one!" I cried "Let alone three!"
"That is what we are here for. The day after tomorrow Madame has booked for a dress maker to come and see you and we will sit down and discuss it all." I nodded slowly, tears coming to my eyes as I thought about it all.
"What is the matter?" Pansy gasped, running over to me and wrapping me in her arms
"I always imagined going dress shopping with my mother!" I cried, my body slumping into hers "You know, spending a whole day just going in and out of shops trying on dresses until I found the perfect one."
"But yours having your made, especially for you." Cissy said, coming to kneel in front of me.
"I know, and I am so grateful." I appeased "But…" I shrugged not knowing how to explain it. Pansy let me cry myself out in her arms until all that could be heard were a few hiccups.
"Calm yourself dear." Cissy told me, soothing my back as I pulled myself up, straightening my back "Do not worry, everything will be exactly how you won't it, it is your day after all."
"Thank you." I smiled, wiping my eyes with my fingertips.
"No worries dear. No I need to send an owl, and Pansy it is time for you to go. You will be coming back for the fitting?"
"Of course I will." She smiled standing.
"I will be around, Mia." Cissy told me, looking at me seriously. I nodded and she left.
"Pansy." I sighed, taking her hands and pulling her back done to sit next to me
"What's the matter?" She asked, taking my hands in hers
"Draco's got a daughter." I told her, looking down
"A daughter?" I nodded slowly "What? When?"
"Apparently before we knew each other, with some muggle."
"What is he going to do?"
"It's already been decided." I told her, looking into her eyes
"It has?"
"The place she lives is a complete tip and the woman that runs it is an ass, so Draco is going to take responsibility of her and her brother."
"So what? You're going to adopt her?"
"And her brother." Pansy eyes widened as she took this in
"Wow."
"I know." I agreed, pulling my hands from her and fiddling with my skirt. "He's bringing them here today, in-"I looked up at the clock, then back at Pansy "about twenty minutes. And they're going to spend the night here, and then." I shrugged "Were going to try and ease them into it."
"Are they both magical?"
"Well I assume Ava, that's her name, but Aaron, her brother." I sighed, shaking my head "Ava has Draco for a father, so she should, but we don't know who Aarons father is. So who knows?"
"What if he isn't?"
"We haven't even thought about it." I admitted
"How are you holding up?" I shrugged
"Fine, I suppose." I looked up to the clock "You should be going." I commented standing up
"Owl me if you need me." She ordered, hugging me
"What would I do without you?" I laughed, walking her to the fireplace
"Who knows?" She agreed, and with a final hug she was gone.
I sighed, turning back to the room and clearing it with a wave of my wand, sending the magazines to my room as well as the picture, me walking up slowly, in its wake.
When I reached my room I changed quickly, throwing on a red maxi dress and a pair of wedges, throwing my hair into a pony tail and starting the journey to the front door, as Draco was going to apparate them to the gates. I stood waiting for them, pacing, my nerves getting the better of me as I paced, my gaze continuously flicking to the driveway, waiting to see them.
When I eventually did see them, I heard them first. Ava's excited squeal reaching my ears as she saw me waiting for them. I smiled and descended the steps to meet them. "MIA!" Ava screeched, pulling her hand from Draco's and running to me. I bent, collecting her in my arms and pulling myself up, holding her tight
"How are you little one?" I asked her
"I'm fine. Are you a princess?" She asked, looking around
"No." I laughed "I'm marrying a prince." I told her, look at Draco with a smile on my face. He reached us and leaned in to place a kiss on my cheek, taking Ava of me so I could go and see Aaron. He was walking with his arms crossed across his chest, a sour expression on his face.
"Hey." I muttered quietly, standing in front of him
"Hi." He replied, looking down at me
"How are you?"
"I'm fine." He replied with a shrug
"You don't look it." I informed him as we turned, following Draco and Ava to the house
"You have a nice house." He told me changing the subject
"It's not mine." I laughed "Draco's going to inherit it."
"But you live here?"
"I have my own place, me and my brother. But I spend a lot of my time here."
"Well its very nice."
"Well, I hope you like it. Your be living here soon enough."
"Me?" He asked, stopping and facing me.
"Yes, you." I replied confused "You and Ava."
"I thought you would just take Ava. That I was here to ease her into living here." I laughed
"Draco didn't explain much then?" He shrugged, turning to the house. I walked next to him, pushing my arm into the crook of his elbow "We're taking you both. Can't have one without the other." I informed him "Ava wouldn't be able to live without you."
"She would cope."
"Well now she doesn't have to. Because you, young man, are not going anywhere." I informed him as we stepped into the entry hall.
