Chapter 21

Silver looked around the room one more time.

Nope. She didn't forget anything.

She was going home today. She finally convinced Draco to go get something to eat. He had not left her side for the two day she had been here. She was grateful but she needed him to take care of himself too.

Everyone had been so wonderful. Her parents, Blaise, her Godparents, and her friends.

She smiled when she thought about what Blaise and she had talked about this morning. He was with Cassie now and very happy about it. Silver was glad. They both deserved all the happiness in the world. Now all she had to do was hope that Harry and Luna would be able to find their way to each other.

"Hey, Silver. Hope this is not a bad time."

Speak of the Devil….

"Harry, I'm glad you came by."

"Where's your worse half?"

"Ha ha, very funny. I managed to get Draco to go get something to eat. He was wearing himself out."

"Ya, I talked to him earlier and he seemed beat. Silver…. I want you to know that…I realize that he loves you and you love him. I am happy for you, I really am."

"It means a lot, Harry. I know this is not what we thought my life would be like when we were in school. It's so different then that in a lot of ways but it's the same too. I have someone who I love and will be happy with. I am grateful for that."

"I am too. Even if it's with Malfoy."

Silver was about to blast him then she noticed his smirk and the laughter in his eyes.

"You're a real comedian, Harry."

"So, do you love me enough to name your son Harry?"

"Over my dead body, Potter!"

Silver busted out laughing when she saw the look of horror on Draco's face who was standiing at the door.

"Oh, I don't know…Harry Albus Malfoy, it was a certain ring."

Draco glared at them as they fell against each other laughing.

****************************************************************

Silver was glad to be in her own room at the Manor. Well, her room for now. She was getting married in a week! She couldn't believe it. They were going to be married in a Scottish castle that belonged to the Malfoy family. Her dress robes were ready and almost all the invitations had come back with a positive response. Everyone wanted to witness the nuptials of the Malfoy heir and Zabini heiress. She had even heard from Viktor. He and Aleksandra were coming and Silver couldn't wait to meet her.

After the wedding, Draco was taking her away. He wouldn't tell her where just that she would love it.

They would spend three weeks alone together then come home. Silver was excited about that also. As much as so loved Draco she couldn't wait to put her proposal together for Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall had told her to take her time. Changes, if any, would not be made until the next school year. Silver still could not believe that they had asked her. It was a great honor. Harry had teased her mercilessly when she told him.

You can take the girl out of Hogwarts but not Hogwarts out of the girl…..

She knew he was just as proud of her as her family was. Silver finally felt like everything was coming together. Harry and she had talked things through and Ron, Ginny, and Pansy were, for now, all locked up.

She threw herself on the bed and indignant meow sounded from beneath her.

"Drago, my love, I am so very sorry I didn't see you there."

The kitten cuddled in her hand and Silver gave him all her attention.

"You missed me didn't you?" Silver's face lost its smile as she remembered why.

It would never go away would it?

Sliver brought Drago to her chest as tears started to fall down her face.

****************************************************************

Luna watched Harry fiddle with his glasses. The invitation for dinner was given a few days ago but Harry was so busy that this was the first night he was able to make good on it.

"How is everything going with the Weasleys?"

"Well, the 'evaluations' are set for tomorrow. The finally found someone that they all agreed on."

"That's good, right?"

"Ya, that's good. I'm just worried. They get away with so much I don't know what would happen if they were cleared."

"I would imagine Draco and the Zabinis would have a thing or two to say about that."

"Yes they would. But, let's talk about something else. I don't want you to think all I think about is them."

Luna smiled as she drank from her glass. Being across from Harry like this was a dream come true. She never thought it would happen.

"So how about those Montrose Magpies?"

Harry laughed so hard the others in the restaurant looked around to see what was so funny. Harry was wiping the tears from his eyes as the last chuckles escaped.

"That's what I love about you, Luna. You can always make me feel better."

"I do what I can. Do people always stare at you like this?"

"Ah, I was hoping you wouldn't notice. Yes, most of the time. Do you want to leave?"

"A walk would be great."

As they left the restaurant, Harry took Luna's hand in his. She felt like she was floating on air. She had known this man for so long but their interactions were never like this. Luna cuddled into her coat and tried to keep the giggles down.

Harry gave her a one-arm hug as they walked the street. There were still stares, just not as many.

The made it to the park without saying anything. Each lost in their own thoughts. Harry actually felt more clear headed then ever. It was obvious that the potion Ginny had been using had been messing with his thought process and now he could finally see the world through his own eyes.

Luna wanted to remember everything that happened so she would remember it forever. Harry focused on her, Luna Lovegood.

"So….."

Luna did giggle then as Harry tried to make conversation.

"Luna, I want you to know that…I really like you and I want to ask…Luna, would you be my girlfriend?"

Luna didn't wait for Harry to finish before she jumped into his arms. He laughed as he twirled her around and she clung to his neck.

When they came to a stop, she still had her arms around his neck and he had his around her waist.

"So is that a yes?"

Luna's answer was her lips against his. He got he answer he wanted.

****************************************************************

Blaise had the feeling in his stomach all day. Like a pain, that wasn't a pain. It was when he caught sight of Draco and Silver's engagement photo that he realized it was his sister. He felt like a git because he didn't catch on sooner.

What kind of brother was he?

He rushed out of the study to her room.

I'm coming Silver.

He opened her door without knocking knowing that she needed him. His twin sister needed him.

"Silver?"

He heard her sobs before he saw her. Though there was no blood or bruises, Blaise was reminded of how he found his sister the last time Ron Weasley hurt her. It was the same, only this time the damage was inside.

Blaise gathered her in his arms and rocked her as she cried. He whispered reassurance in her ear as she clung to him.

"Blaise?"

"Yes, I'm here and you and your babies are safe I promise."

"I…Oh, Merlin Blaise, please don't leave me."

"I will always be here for you, always."

They held each other for a long time before Silver spoke.

"Why am I so weak? I was so strong before. Why can't I be the witch I used to be?"

"You know what I think? I think that you have had to be strong for so long that you just need a break. You need people to take care of you. Nothing wrong with that."

"Really? You don't think less of me?"

"Don't be daft. There is nothing that can make me think less of you. You have been through a lot. Not just the kidnapping, well either of them but you lost who you were. On top of that, someone you thought was your friend hurt you. That would be a lot for anyone to handle."

"I know she's in here, Blaise. The strong witch I was before, she is here."

"Of course she is and when you need her to come out she will."

Blaise stayed with his sister while she cried her eyes out and feel asleep. Blaise felt so helpless, he wanted to take away all her pain. He knew he couldn't but he wished with all his heart that he could.

****************************************************************

Blaise was just putting Silver in her bed when Draco knocked softly and let himself in.

"What's wrong? Is she alright?"

Blaise held a finger to his lips and nodded. They both left the room as quietly as they could.

"What happened?" Draco demanded as the walked the hall that led to the Blaise's study.

"I think everything finally hit her. It was too much."

"I was afraid this might happen. I knew that she hadn't felt everything yet. Do you think she should be alone? I should go sit with her."

"Silver is worn out. I don't think she will wake up for a while."

Blaise poured each of them a drink and the sipped in silence.

"Tomorrow is the big day. The evaluations." Blaise watched as Draco swallowed hard before answering.

"Yes. The hearing is set for the day after tomorrow. They will know then how they will proceed."

"And Pansy? She can't claim the same; she was never on the front lines."

"No, she defiantly can't. She is scheduled to appear before the panel tomorrow. Hopefully they will wrap things up quickly."

"I hope so, Draco. We all need this…nightmare to be over."

"I agree. Silver needed the rest of her pregnancy to be peaceful."

"Why do I have the feeling that tomorrow is going to be anything but?"

Draco looked at his friend and shook his head. He hated to agree but something told him Blaise was right.

****************************************************************

Silver was dressing for the day when she noticed. Not a big change but she did notice. There was an extra thickness about her middle. True she was not very far along but she was a small girl and it was twins. She was grinning when she slipped on her dress.

She left her room once she was presentable and joined her family in the breakfast room. She was surprised to see Draco and his parents at the table.

"Good morning"

Everyone looked up and greeted her with smiles.

Draco got up to escort her to her chair next to him. "Good morning, Darling. How are you feeling?"

"Good. Really good. How is everyone this morning?"

It was Narcissa who answered. "Wonderful. Having breakfast before leaving for the Ministry."

"Yes, I could use something to eat before we leave."

"We? No, sweetheart, you can relax here at home and we will let you know what happens."

"I don't think so. I need to be there, Draco. I have a right to be there."

Draco saw the look in her eyes and knew she was right. He was however concerned for her health. Avani evidently felt the same.

"Silver, are you sure? It will be very stressful."

"I know, Mama, but I need to be there. I can handle this I promise."

Draco shared a look with Blaise and sighed.

"If it's that important, alright. Pansy's review is before noon and we should know about the Weasleys' evaluations shortly after."

With the decision made, everyone sat down to breakfast to discuss the next week's wedding.

****************************************************************

The gallery was just as full as the last time Silver and her family was here. Silver noticed the media and grimaced. She hated those vultures.

Mr. Parkinson was speaking to a distinguished older man that Silver assumed was Pansy's representative.

Harry and Luna were sitting a few rows behind and Silver smiled when she saw their joined hands.

Silver squeezed Draco's leg when Pansy was led in and the gallery went crazy when they saw her.

The Panel came in and the room quieted down.

"Who represents the defendant?"

"I do, Chief Warlock. Clarence Pasters, at your service."

"Mr. Pasters, does your client wish to plead?"

"If I may, Miss. Parkinson's health demands immediate release. We wish to have all charges dropped considering the circumstances."

Everyone in Silver's party tensed and braced themselves. This could not be good.

Pansy seemed to go into a panic. She began whispering furiously to Pasters and pulling at his arm. He removed his arm and whispered back just as intensively.

"No, you have no right to say anything! Just shut up!"

"Miss, please control yourself. Do you have something to say in Miss. Parkinson's behalf?"

"NO! Please!"

"Miss. Parkinson is with child and must have the comfort of her home."

The gallery exploded and Silver fainted.

****************************************************************

It took a few minutes for everyone to calm down. Draco had Silver in his arms and she was slowly coming to.

"Draco? Please tell she is not…."

"No, sweetheart, it can't be mine."

"But you were with her. It is a possibility."

Silver placed a hand on her belly.

"I don't want to share the father of my children. I know that sounds awful."

"No it doesn't."

Draco's stomach clenched.

Please, please let it not be mine.

"Is this true?"

"Yes, Chief Warlock."

The panel whispered to themselves as the gallery did the same.

Narcissa and Avani both looked as if they were going to be sick and Mr. Parkinson was shooting Lucius smug looks.

"Bring in a mediwitch"

The watchwizard rushed out to do as the chief demanded.

Silver pulled away from Draco and sat stick straight in her seat. Draco tried to lean her against him but she refused.

"Please, Silver don't be angry at me. It's not mine."

Before Silver could speak a witch in a carrying, a medical bag came in.

"Please perform the pregnancy detection charm."

While Pansy was made to stand the chief continued, "And a paternity spell. Might as well solve that mystery as well."

Pansy wailed and struggled to free herself from the witches' grasp.

"No, don't!"

The witch muttered the two charms. A blue glow hovered over Pansy's belly and the medi-witch continued. "She is with child."

The Chief nodded, "and the other question?"

The gallery went silent then erupted again as Ron Weasley's face appeared in the blue glow. Mr. Parkinson fainted and Pansy began to sob.
