Chapter Thirteen: Lucius and Severus

A couple of days have passed since I took my NEWT's. Everything had gone off without a hitch. The tester had his memory altered and didn't remember where exactly I took them, and he couldn't remember I was pregnant. I was feeling much better than I had since the incident in front of the jewelry store. Today it is Halloween and I am going to hang out with Lucius and Severus. Balto and I are going to go for a run in muggle London so I can have a few moments to myself. Then Balto and I are going to go get his hair trimmed with Lucius and Severus. After all that I don't know what we are going to do. I just really felt like I needed to hang out with the two father figures in my life. Draco also informed us he and Pansy might tag along so it isn't weird that I'm running around with two older men. Dating George is going really well. We haven't told anyone that we are officially trying to date. I am going to tell Severus and Lucius today though. I want to bounce something off of them, so they need to know.

After we got Balto's hair trimmed, Lucius went into an alley and apparated to Malfoy Manor with Balto for Cissa to watch him. When he got back from the Manor Severus spoke up and said, "Would you guys want to go and get lunch? Then maybe Mia here could show us all about a mall. I haven't actually been to one before. I didn't do much growing up."

Lucius chimed in and said, "Yes I agree Mia. You should definitely show us what a mall is about. I believe Cissa has been, though she will never admit it. I remember Draco talking about one when he was a first or second year. He had overheard half-blood Hufflepuffs talking about how their parents had taken them to one over a break or something. He also might have gone with Cissa." Lucius paused then continued, "I am happy that I am married to Cissa. I don't know what I would do if he acted like I used to act. Cissa was there to take the evil I put in him away."

Severus stopped him and said, "Lucius, we all had a part to play in the war. If I hadn't of been so caught up with Lily I might have never even become one of them. I also might have. The past is the past. We needn't worry about it, lest it become who we are again."

I hugged both of them and said, "Sev is right Luciey. I might not be here with you guys ready to go eat lunch. I might not even be pregnant with the twins. Everything is great though. I wouldn't change anything for the world. Now can we please go and eat lunch. I'm starving."

Lucius shook his head softly at me before saying, "Yes, of course. Anywhere in particular that you want to go, Mia?"

Thinking for a moment I say, "Anywhere in muggle London is fine with me. I'm not feeling picky for once." After a quick pause I say, "How about we try the food court at the mall? They have all sorts of food, and it's in the center of the mall. We can go eat first and then do a little bit of shopping if that's okay with both of you."

Severus and Lucius both nod their heads as Severus says, "Alright. Lead the way, Hermione."

Lucius chimes in with, "How do we get there though. You can't properly apparate."

I nod at Lucius before saying, "I know I can't. We can walk to my flat though. I've got a muggle car there. Kind of had to get one after I found out I was pregnant. I couldn't let Draco drive me everywhere, especially since he's got his own life. I needed it too since I've got twins. So it was just the perfect time to get one."

Severus speaks up with, "Well, why didn't you tell us. I could've gotten it for you if you wanted."

I smile at Severus as I say, "No, it's okay. Thank you though. I wanted to get it on my own. Not my first big purchase, but still. It felt nice to do it on my own. I needed to. If that makes sense."

Lucius smiles at me and says, "Of course, Mia. We understand the need to do it on your own. We've done our fair share of that as well. Now shall we head to yours?"

I nod my head at Lucius before he, Severus and I make our way back to my flat. We arrived pretty quickly. I hadn't strayed too far on my run into muggle London. When we got to my flat we ran inside for a few minutes so that I could change out of my running clothes. I was not going to the mall in track capris and a tank top. It was chilly outside so I grabbed a basic green sweater out of my dresser and pulled it over my head. It hugged my baby bump nicely without being too tight. I paired it with a pair of grey fleece leggings. Finally I slipped on a pair of black boots that came up to my knee. I grabbed a grey beanie on my way back downstairs where Severus and Lucius were waiting on me.

Severus nodded at my beanie before saying, "Don't forget to put that on before you walk out the door. It's too cold."

Lucius let out a laugh and I shook my head at Lucius as I turned to Severus saying, "Don't worry dad. I won't."

Severus just shook his head at me as Lucius asked, "Where's this car?"

I grinned and led the two of them through a door that led into my garage. I had a modest little car. It wasn't a new model or anything, but it got me where I needed to go. It also didn't have anything wrong with it, and I could comfortably fit both the twins' car seats in the back and one extra person without the person in the middle being squished. Lucius and Severus just kind of looked at each other before I began laughing at them. It took a moment to compose myself before I said, "One of you are going to have to get in the back, unless you both want to." They both looked at the other then me with a confused look. Deciding not to let this drag on for much longer I shake my head and say, "Okay, Lucius you ride in the back this time and on the way home, Severus can ride in the back." Severus looked over at Lucius with a look of glee and I just shook my head again.

Our ride to the mall was uneventful. It was really weird to look in my rearview mirror and see Lucius Malfoy sitting in the back of my little car. It was weird but hilarious at the same time. When I parked at the mall my cell phone started ringing. Lucius looked highly confused for a minute and even asked, "Mione, what is that sound?"

Severus let out a slight laugh at his friend's confusion and answered for me, "Lucius, that is a cell phone. Muggles use them to communicate more efficiently. It's quicker than sending an owl. They can talk through the little pieces on there."

I nod my head saying, "Yeah, that's basically what it is. Harry and I got one to talk whenever we were hunting horcruxes if we got separated. It was less likely to give away our location than if we had sent an owl. I use mine all the time. Draco has seen me using it on more than one location, so he got one too. A bunch of the Weasleys have them as well."

With that conversation over I answer my cell phone, which is still ringing and am greeted by Draco's voice saying, "It took you forever to pick up."

I shake my head slightly before I say back, "Yeah. I know. Severus and I were trying to explain a cell phone to your dad."

Draco laughs on the other end of the device and composes his laughter before saying, "I understand why it took so long now. Where are you at though? I would've thought you would be here by now."

Smiling softly I say, "Yeah, I am here. I just parked when you were calling in. We're still sitting in the car. Where are you at?"

Draco perks up at my location before saying, "Pansy and I are already at the food court. Hurry up and come feed my god children."

I shake my head again as I reply, "Okay we are on the way. Be there in 5. Wait on me to get food."

Draco and I hang up the phone and I lead Severus and Lucius to where I know the food court is in the mall. I notice the crazy looks they keep giving each other as I lead them around the mall. I finally get us all to the food court and spot Draco's blond head almost immediately. It did help that Pansy was waving at the three of us. As we got closer to Pansy and Draco, Draco began laughing. I was about to ask him why when he said, "Granger, I thought you were a Gryffindor." I cock my head at Draco and he continues with, "Hermione. You're outfit. It's literally Slytherin colors. Green and silver. Are you trying to say something?"

I hit Draco on the arm and say, "Oh you stop it. I'm not saying anything. I know my babies are going to be in Gryffindor. I just grabbed an outfit and technically it's green and grey not green and silver."

Draco cackles and says, "It's still silver, Hermione. Besides, they might be Slytherin. You've got lots of Slytherin friends now. And said Slytherin friends may influence the babies. Besides, you have asked Severus to be a Granddad to them, and he's Slytherin. My parents are as well. Here you are at the mall with four Slytherins around you as well. We all also know that the Weasley twins should've been in Slytherin, but the Weasley name determined Gryffindor for them. The Sorting Hat doesn't really care about last names anymore from what I've learned."

I shook my head at the thought of that before saying, "I don't need two Slytherins running around my flat. That would be troublesome and I wouldn't be sure how to handle it."

Lucius chimed in with, "Well, you'll have all of our help, and also you'll be at the manner for a little bit after you have them if you need help for sure."

Severus smiled softly as he said, "And I will be at the manor everyday as well. I'm taking the year off from teaching to give myself ample time to heal from Nagini's bite. I don't need a year, but I talked to Minerva and she said it was okay. I really want to be there with you as well." Lucius and Severed exchanged a nod as Severus continued with, "Lucius, Narcissa and I were talking, and we have all decided it's okay if I stay in the manor as well those first six months after you have the twins. And before you say anything, Hermione, I know I don't have to, but I want to. I want to be around you and them."

Not being able to express my gratitude the way I would like to with words I throw my arms around Severus and hug him as tightly as I can. I hold onto him for a few minutes until I can finally form the words, "Thank you, Severus. That means the world to me. It really does."

Severus kisses the top of my head and says, "Hermione, you're like a daughter to me. I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish I would've known then what I know now. I would've taken you more under my wing."

Draco cuts his godfather off with, "I would've as well. I would've been disowned, but I would've done it."

I move away from Severus to give Draco a quick hug as well. Pansy smiles at all of us before she says, "You guys. I am also to eat if we may?"

We all share a small laugh before breaking off to get our food from whichever fast food place we wanted. When we are all sat back at the table and begin digging into our food, I smile at the love surrounding me. Severus glances at me from across the table and asks, "What's on your mind Hermione?"

Shaking my head softly I say, "Nothing. I'm just happy to be here. I do have a bit of news though. The twins are fine before anyone freaks out. I did want to say, George and I have officially decided to start dating. It's only been a couple of days, but so far everything is good. I think we'll be good."

Pansy smiles at me and says, "I'm glad the two of you are together. You are so cute with one another."

Smiling I say, "He's asked me if he can officially adopt the twins on their first birthday. He thinks we are a forever couple."

Lucius grins at me and asks, "Is he okay with the twins being his brother's?"

I nod my head and say, "Yeah. He and I talked about that too. He said he already loves them and that's why he asked about adopting them."

Draco smiles and says, "Well, acting as your brother here, I must say, if he hurts you, do not be scared to tell me. I'll take care of him."

Multiple thinks happen with Draco's comment. I laugh about it. Lucius looks at his son confused. Pansy hit Draco lightly on his arm and Severus scolds, "Draco Lucius Malfoy. That's not very nice of you."

Draco shrugs his shoulders at his godfather and gives a cheeky grin as I say, "It's okay. It's actually pretty funny." I glance at Draco and continue with, "Don't even worry about it Draco. I know I can handle myself if anything happens."

Lucius shakes his head as he says, "I don't understand what's happening. I thought we liked Mr. Weasley and Hermione together."

Draco laughs at his dad's confusion as I say, "Lucius, it's a thing that muggles usually say to one another. If a parent has two or more kids, and the older one is a boy and the younger one is a girl, the older brother usually tells their younger sister, 'If he hurts you I'll kill him.' Draco is just being protective. He feels like it's his responsibility to look out for me." I look over at Draco again saying, "I am older than you though."

Draco sticks his tongue out at him and it's his father's turn to scold him. I laugh at Draco's dismay as we finish our lunch making small talk.

Hey everyone. I know It's been a year. I know I'm literally the worst at updating these stories. I do try. I'm just not good at remembering to update or anything. I should be by now, but I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet. As I've said before, I will never abandon my stories, but if you want to stop reading and come back and reread whenever I have this completed, you're more than welcome to. I know unfinished stories that aren't regularly updated are very difficult to get into and some people lose interest in them. I'm doing what I can, but I've always been great at procrastinating. It's nothing to brag about, but it's the truth. If anyone wants to be a beta, please pm me and that way, you can also yell at me when it's taken too long to update. I will be completely okay with you yelling at me too. I don't have a huge support system for writing, so I don't motivate myself. Thank you for anyone who reads this chapter, and I will try to get better. I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
