Chosen Prompt: Christmas tree at the Manor, with wreath above fireplace.
Chapter 21:
Draco awake the next day needing to go see his Mother. He needed to go and talk to her about everything that has been going on with Harry and finding out about the twins. She needed to know she had two more Grandsons in her life now. He also wanted to know what she thought about him giving Harry a second chance. She was there for him when he broke down the first time and when he was pregnant. She helped out so much in his life and he wanted, needed her advice.
When he walked through the front door of the manor he immediately went to the living room, knowing she would either be in there reading a book or out in the gardens. He laughed and shook his head when he entered the room seeing the enormous Christmas tree all decorated with Gifts already sitting underneath it. The wreath above the fireplace looked to be bigger than the year before, making the fire that was roaring inside of it look so much smaller than it actually was. He noticed his Mother sitting in the chair off to the side, reading.
"Hello Mother." He said as he walked further into the room, watching as his Mother put the book down and turn towards his.
"Draco. It is so good to see you. How is Tobias doing?" She asked and he sighed at know the long story he was about to tell her, which he did. She sat and listened to the whole thing without saying one word, waiting for him to finish.
"So I have two more Grandchildren I get to meet. You best be bringing them over as soon as possible Draco." She stated smiling.
"I will Mother. I just want to know that I am doing the right thing in letting Harry have a second chance after what he did before." He stated sitting back in the chair he was now sitting in.
"Draco that is only for you to decide. I know how happy he had made you before the break up, but I also know the pain and hurt you went through when he left you. I also know how hard it has been for you with Tobias on your own, and he does need to know his Father and his brothers now. Blaise seems to be out of the picture and I think that if you two always sit down and talk about what is bothering you or what others are saying then you will make it work. It will take time for you to give him all your trust again but that is what relationships are. Getting to know someone and getting to trust them and open your heart completely." She smiled.
"I know Mother. It's just that I don't want to go through that pain again any time soon. It will take a long time for me to trust him fully, but I think it will end up happening. I love Maliki and Draconis even though I have only just met them, but they are my blood. Thank you Mother for listening and understanding, and as usual giving me your wonderful advice." Draco stood from his chair and walked over to his Mother, leaning down and giving her a kiss on the cheek before he left to go back home.
