Chapter 21

Malfoy Manor. August 1953.

When Abraxas had gotten the letter from Alcina telling him that she would be home in a few days time, he wanted to host a great party. A welcome home feast. He couldn't wait for his sister to come back home, and to live at the Manor again.

Svea was happy for Abraxas, and was helping him with getting everything under control. Tom was looking forward to see Alcina again as well.

He had gotten so many new, faithful followers, and now had a few dozen of his people on each level within the Ministry. He even got along with Ignatius Tuft, the Minister's son. Tom hadn't heard from Gellert, but he knew that he still was trying to take over the world. They did have a few duels, one where Avery barely made it out alive. Tom knew that someday, he would have to duel Gellert, and he would have to kill him. But hopefully that day wouldn't come anytime soon. He still hoped that Gellert would change his mind and come to Tom, begging to join him once again.

"Oh my! I swear, if Abraxas doesn't relax soon I am going to rip his head off!" Svea said as she sat down beside Tom, she took a glass of lemonade and poured some for Tom as well.

"He is just excited." Tom said and gratefully took the glass from Svea.

"I know, but he is driving himself mad. I swear, it is so hard to get him to relax and drink something." Svea sighed.

"Don't worry. Alcina will be home tomorrow, and then I am sure Abraxas is going to relax again." Tom smiled.

"I hope so too, oh look there is my darling boy!" Svea suddenly said and rushed over to Lestrange, who had his three year old son Rodolphus Lestrange in his arms.

"What is wrong with Abraxas?" Lestrange asked as he let Svea take Rodolphus in her arms.

"He is just excited because Alcina comes home tomorrow." Tom answered and watched Svea doted on the small boy, who was laughing.

"Ah yes, I did hear about that. Can you tell him I'll come by tomorrow and say hello? Camille is excited for our night out. I am so grateful that Svea will look after Rodolphus." Lestrange said and looked lovingly at his son.

"I'll make sure to tell him." Tom said.

"Thank you my Lord. Well, I hate that I have to leave now, but we have to hurry if we shall make it in time for our portkey. Roddy? I'll see you tomorrow alright? Behave yourself." Lestrange said and kneeled in front of his son.

"I will Daddy!" Rodolphus said.

"That's my good boy." Lestrange said and ruffled his hair a bit.

"I am sure Rodolphus is going to behave like the big boy he is." Svea said lovingly and kissed the boy's forehead.

"Thank you Svea for everything, I'll see you all in the morning." Lestrange said and apparated away.

"Well what do you say Rodolphus? Should we go down in the kitchen and see if we can find something good to eat?" Svea asked.

"Yes please aunt Svea!" Rodolphus said.

"Then let's go, Tom could I ask a favour? Could you please try and get Abraxas to relax?" Svea asked.

"Don't worry, leave that to me." Tom said and smiled, when he watched Svea go into the manor, hand in hand with Rodolphus.

Tom stood and went over to Abraxas who was trying all by himself to put a pavilion up. But he clearly was exhausted.

"Abraxas, why don't you join your wife and Rodolphus in the kitchen? Don't make me order you." Tom said.

"I am sorry my lord, I think I might need some sleep. I am just so excited for Alcina to come home again after such a long time. I miss having my twin nearby." Abraxas sighed, and sat down.

"Go to the kitchen, enjoy some time off. I am sure the elves have everything under control." Tom said and ordered Abraxas away. Abraxas knew when he was defeated, and went to find his wife and Rodolphus.

Tom flicked his wand, and the pavilion rose in the air, and soon stood in front of the lawn.

Gellert Grindelwalds Headquarters, France same day. 1953

Gellert was having a really great time. Alcina had come to say goodbye before she returned home. He really wanted her, badly. But she still said that she wasn't ready. For now, he was happy enough with kissing her. She was currently sitting in his lap, running her fingers through his hair, and Gellert loved the feeling. He could feel his growing erection, but it didn't seem to scare Alcina anymore. The first time, their heated snogging has given him a hard on, she had blushed and had become embarrassed, but now, she didn't seem to mind. Gellert groaned, and pulled her closer to him.

"Please darling, let me have you." he whispered in her ear.

"Gellert, I am not ready, I'm sorry." Alcina sighed. Gellert groaned when she removed herself from his lap.

"Alcina, darling, we have seen each other for quite some years now, it will happen sooner or later." Gellert groaned.

"I know Gel, but I am not ready. I'm sorry." Alcina said and straighten her clothes. Gellert sighed, when he started this, he never expected it to be such a long run, but he needed this to happen some way or other.

"I am sorry darling, I know how you feel, I don't want to press you into anything." Gellert sighed, and went over to her. He put his hand on her shoulders, and turned her around.

"Now, give me a kiss? Please?" Gellert grinned, when Alcina complied.

"I need to go Gel, Abraxas is expecting me." Alcina sighed against him.

"I know sweetheart, I know." Gellert said.

"I'll miss you." Alcina said and smiled sadly.

"I'll miss you too. Here I got a portkey for you, then you don't need to travel by floo all the way." Gellert said and handed her a necklace with his symbol on.

"It's just like yours." Alcina smiled.

"It is. It can take you to the Leaky Cauldron in London, and back here if you need it." Gellert said and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you Gellert!" Alcina said and kissed him again.

"Now, you better go, I'll write to you." Gellert said. He gave her a small wave when she vanished with the portkey.

As soon as she was gone, Gellert flicked his wand, and Millard came in.

"Is Alcina gone?" Millard asked and looked around.

"Yes she is, I need you to go pick up a girl, I don't care who, I just need one, now! Alcina won't let me anywhere near her like that." Gellert groaned.

"I'll find one sir." Millard nodded.

"Thank you." Gellert said and let his head fall back, resting on the chair.

Malfoy Manor. August 1953.

Abraxas was pacing around in his study, any minute now, any minute now, Alcina would come home. He couldn't wait. He had missed his sister so dearly, and just wanted the family together again. Everyone of his guests were all waiting outside, where Abraxas had planned a huge party. Tom was waiting inside with Abraxas, but he was calmly sitting in a chair.

They both looked up when the fireplace came to live, and out of the green flames, Alcina came walking. The moment she saw Abraxas, she was in his arms, hugging him.

"Oh Alcina, how I have missed you!" Abraxas mumbled into her hair.

"I miss you too dear brother!" Alcina said, sniffing a bit. They broke their embrace, and first now did Alcina notice Tom standing there.

"Tom!" Alcina squealed and ran to him. He caught her in a hug, holding her tightly against him.

"I missed you Tom!" Alcina said and enjoyed this.

"I missed you too Alcina." Tom said and smiled at her as he kissed her hand.

"It's so good to be home again." Alcina said and smiled.

"Come, let's get outside, everyone is anxious to see you again." Abraxas said and started to walk out.

"Everyone?" Alcina questioning Tom.

"Let's just say your brother has decided to hold a huge party for you, a welcome home party." Tom smiled.

"I knew he would do something like that." Alcina sighed and smiled.

Soon Alcina was surrounded by people, and she smiled and thanked them all for coming. It didn't take long before she found Tom again, who was talking with Cygnus Black.

"Ah Miss Malfoy, it's good to have you home again." Cygnus said and kissed her hand.

"Thank you Lord Black, it's good to be home." Alcina said.

"I don't believe you have met my daughter, Bellatrix?" Cygnus said and motioned for the girl with the black curls, who stood beside him.

"No I have not. She is a beauty." Alcina said and smiled at the little girl.

"That she is, but she sure is a handful, my wife is expecting again in a few weeks time." Cygnus said proud.

"Oh congratulations Lord Black, I am so happy for you!" Alcina said.

The small girl, Bellatrix, looked at the grown ups, and suddenly walked over and started to pull at Tom's robes.

"What is it Bellatrix?" Tom asked calmly.

"Dance?" The girl asked.

"You don't have to my Lord." Cygnus quickly said and tried to pull her back towards him.

"It's alright, Lord Black, she can dance with Tom and I, would you like that dear?" Alcina asked the girl who nodded. Alcina swooped her up in her arms, and took Tom's hand. She pulled them both out on the dancefloor.

They stood with the young Bellatrix in the middle, and the girl was squealing with delight. Alcina was laughing, and even Tom was smiling. They twirled around on the dancefloor, and didn't notice a photographer, who took a picture of them.

"Bellatrix, why don't you go over to your father, so I can have the next dance with Miss Malfoy?" Tom asked the little girl, who nodded and soon took of over towards her father.

"She is delightful!" Alcina said and smiled.

"I've heard she is a handful." Tom said and twirled Alcina around.

"Don't you want children Tom?" Alcina asked while they were dancing around.

"I don't think so, I have too many plans. I don't think I'll have the time for children, and I haven't found any woman worth my time." Tom said.

"I am sure that there is someone out there for you Tom." Alcina said and lay her head on his shoulder.

"Perhaps you are right." Tom said and embraced her while they danced around, slowly to the music, forgetting all around them.

Gellert Grindelwalds Headquarters, France a couple of days later. 1953

Gellert was angry, he was sitting with the Daily Prophet, and there on the front page, was Alcina dancing around with Tom and a little girl. The headline was what made him angry. Has the young Alcina Malfoy found herself a husband?

Alcina was his, and he didn't like to share. He would make sure she knew that when she arrived.

"Oh Gellert darling, aren't you coming back to bed?" A brunette witch asked, coming over to him in nothing more then a loosely tied silken robe. He had a perfect view to her body. Gellert had forgotten her name, she didn't matter to him.

"No, and I think it's time for you to leave, MILLARD!" Gellert yelled.

"But Gellert…" The woman started, when Millard came into the room.

"Shut up woman, Millard, get her out!" Gellert said and walked away leaving the now sobbing woman in a crumpled heap on the floor.

Gellert walked to his study. with a bottle of Firewhiskey in his hand, drinking it. Any minute now, Alcina would show up, and Gellert didn't want her to find out about him sleeping around.

Millard came back into the room, looking at Gellert.

"Sir, I don't mean to pry, but don't you think you should stop sleeping around like this? You don't even know the woman's name, and your drinking far more that you use to." Millard said, concerned.

"Why should I stop sleeping around?" Gellert asked and narrowed his eyes at the man.

"Because of Alcina, sir." Millard said.

"What I do or don't do, doesn't concern you or her, and if I ever find out you have told her anything about this, I will not show mercy!" Gellert warned.

"Sir, I won't say anything, but you are my friend and I like her, I just don't want to see her hurt." Millard said.

"I don't care, don't you have something else to do other than piss me off?" Gellert hissed and waved his hand, clearly dismissing him.

"Sure sir, sorry sir." Millard said and turned around.

Gellert threw the now empty firewhiskey at the door, and it shattered all over the door. Ever since Tom had betrayed his trust, Gellert was becoming more and more angry. And now that Alcina was dancing around in that stupid paper with Tom, it just made Gellert angry. She belonged to him now, and not Tom. She was his!

Gellert didn't know how long he stood there, before he heard a pop behind him. He twirled around pointing his wand at the intruder.

"Wow! Gellert! It's just me!" Alcina said with her hands in front of her, showing her she hadn't pulled her wand on him.

"What do you want?" Gellert hissed and turned around.

"I told you I would come today Gellert, what's the matter?" Alcina said silently.

"This is what matters!" Gellert said and tossed the newspaper at her. She almost didn't catch it.

"Gellert, you know that there is nothing going on with me and Tom. We are only friends." Alcina said and lay the newspaper down, before going over to him.

She carefully, embraced him from behind. Gellert twirled around, catching her wrist and pushed her up against the wall, crashing his lips down on hers. She was moaning, and trying to get her hands free, but Gellert pushed them up over her head, taking a hold on both her hands with one of his, while his other roamed her body.

"I don't share what's mine, you either pick him or me, your choice." Gellert hissed angrily against her ear.

"Gellert, he is my friend. My best friend, I can't just tell him I don't want to be friends anymore!" Alcina sighed out of breath.

"Then stop being around him all the time!" Gellert hissed and punched his hand into the wall, which made Alcina flinch.

"I'm sorry Gellert, I'll try, I promise!" Alcina said with a trembling voice.

"Good girl!" Gellert said and carefully touched her cheek. He was smiling sweetly at her, kissing her nose, her eyes and forehead, before giving her a soft kiss.

"Now, what do you say, shall we go out and get something to eat?" Gellert said and kissed her again.

"Sure." Alcina said, trembling as she smiled.

Malfoy Manor. Late October 1953.

Abraxas really didn't know what he had done wrong, but Svea was mad at him. She had been like that for a couple of days now. He sighed, and pulled at his long hair. He hated it when he was in a fight with her. He had taken refuge in the library, and was sitting with an old book of dark magic. He was trying to learn a spell which would make your opponents blood boil. But so far, he just couldn't get the hang of it.

"ABRAXAS!" came a yell up from the upper rooms.

Abraxas sighed, but quickly put the volume down, and hurried up the stairs.

"Svea? Where are you?" He asked as he entered their chambers, she were nowhere to be found.

"In the bathroom!" came a trembling voice, which made Abraxas run in there. He found her bent over their toilet, vomiting.

"That's it, we are going to St. Mungos now!" Abraxas said, and pulled her hair back.

"No, it's nothing, I think it's something I ate." Svea mumbled.

"I don't care, we are going. Go get dressed, we are going to see Alcina." Abraxas said. Alcina had started a job as a healer at St. Mungos earlier that month. Abraxas didn't like that she was working, but she told him that she needed it. She hadn't been herself lately, not seeking out Tom or himself. She mostly kept to herself, and worked. Abraxas didn't know what was wrong with her, but it scared him a bit. Abraxas found one of his wives black robes, and went to give it to her.

"Here darling, take this, I am going to apparate us to St. Mungos." Abraxas told her, she just nodded and lay her head on his chest, while he wrapped his arms around her. He made sure to hold on tightly when he apparated them straight to St. Mungos.

The welcome witch, smiled fondly at them when they arrived.

"What can I do for you, Lord and Lady Malfoy?" she kindly asked.

"We were wondering if my sister could spare a moment to look over my wife, she isn't feeling well." Abraxas said.

"Sure, take a seat please, and I'll just check and see if she is available." the witch said. Abraxas lead Svea over to some chairs, and forced her to sit down.

"This really wasn't necessary Abraxas, I'm sure it's just something I ate." Svea sighed and closed her eyes.

"You are not feeling well, everyone can tell, please just do this for me?" Abraxas said and kissed her hands. She smiled and nodded.

They didn't have to wait long, before Alcina was walking towards them.

"Abraxas? Svea? They told me you wanted to see me, is everything alright?" Alcina asked.

"Svea isn't feeling well, and I would like for her to be looked at." Abraxas said and stood, helping Svea up.

"Of course, come with me, we have a room over here that is available." Alcina said and showed them to a small private room.

"Please take a seat Svea, I am just going to run some diagnostic spells on you, it'll only take a moment." Alcina said kindly, and twirled her wand over Sveas body.

"Abraxas, could you please wait outside? I need to check her over." Alcina said.

"It isn't serious, is it?" Abraxas asked concerned.

"No, I don't think so, but still, it'd be best if we had a bit of privacy. I'll fetch you when you can come inside again." Alcina said. Abraxas didn't like to go outside, while his wife was sitting here, but he did as Alcina had requested. He paced in front of the doors to the room, thinking all sorts of things.

What if she was seriously ill? He couldn't risk losing her, she was his light. What am I to do if I lose her.

Abraxas was pacing in what felt like hours, but only was around 15 minutes, when the door opened, and Alcina came out with a smile on her face.

Okay, then it can't be bad when she is smiling, right?

"You can come in now, I think Svea has something she wants to share with you." Alcina said and smiled. Abraxas quickly walked in and got even more confused when his wife was sitting with tears running down her cheek.

"Svea? Darling, what's wrong?" Abraxas asked, and hurried over to her side.

"Nothing is wrong, oh Abraxas!" Svea said and started to cry more.

"If nothing is wrong, then why are you crying?" he asked puzzled.

"You are going to be a father Abraxas, I am pregnant!" Svea said and smiled fondly. Abraxas just stared at her, then at her stomach, then again at her.

"Are you serious?" Abraxas asked, not believing his own ears.

"Yes, in about 8 months time, you are going to welcome a new little Malfoy into the family!" Alcina answered for Svea.

"Oh Svea, darling! This is wonderful news!" Abraxas exclaimed and hugged her tightly, tears falling from his own eyes. She was hugging him back.

"Congratulations!" Alcina said and went over to them.

Abraxas pulled her down and hugged her too.

"This is the best day of my life!" Abraxas said and kissed both of their cheeks.

They sat there for some time, hugging each other.

"Now, Svea, you need to come here once a month, just to make sure everything is alright. I really have to go, but I'll see you both later." Alcina said and smiled fondly. She walked out the door, and left Abraxas and Svea.

Svea started to put her robes back on, and when they were ready, Abraxas apparated them away.

When they landed in the Manor, he swung her around, laughing happily. He couldn't wait to welcome the new Malfoy into the family.

Please leave a review behind with your thoughts! :-D
