Chapter 81
Ex Heir
Draco's POV
When I got home, Lily wasn't alone. Granger, Weasley and Potter were with her.
"What happened?"
Lily stayed silent but Granger told me everything. I couldn't remember being so angry in my life.
"I want you guys to let Kreacher stay here, at least for now." Potter said.
"There won't be any need. I'm gonna kill him myself."
Lily jumped up and ran to me.
"No! You'd be no better than him. Please just stay with me."
I sighed in frustration and took her in my arms.
"Fine. But if he lays a finger on you-"
"I know, I know."
Potter called for Kreacher and he appeared.
"Master?"
"Would you mind staying here for a while? Lucius Malfoy threatened Lily."
"Kreacher will do his best to protect the mistress."
Potter smiled and nodded.
"You can have my old room, Kreacher. While you're here."
He seemed a little confused.
"Kreacher will have his own room?"
"Of course." She looked at Potter. "Don't tell me you make him sleep in a closet or something."
"If it was a closet I don't know. That's just where he goes."
Lily rolled her eyes and took Kreacher upstairs. I sat down and put my face in my hands.
"I want to kill him." I said.
"Eh?"
I looked at them.
"I want to kill him! I want him dead for doing this to Lily!"
No one said anything. I stood back up and started pacing.
"Getting angry won't solve anything." Granger said.
"What?!"
I wasn't the only one who'd spoken. Potter was looking at Granger too.
"Lily's lost so much already. Her dad, her mum and James Potter, she doesn't need to lose anything else. Especially not this house or our shop. She's so proud of it. She's hung up pictures of Snape as well." I said.
Potter nodded.
"This needs to end now. She begged you not to do anything... but she said nothing to me."
I smirked.
"How very Slytherin of you Potter."
He gave me a smirk in return.
"Don't tell her though."
"Yeah she'd go ballistic."
We all looked at Granger, who was biting her lower lip.
"Hermione."
"Look we all know she'll find out. It's Lily. She always finds out. She's just like Severus in that way, she always knows. And when she finds out it's going to go one of two ways: she'll have that spine tingling glare, or she'll just stare at you making you think she'll hit you but never does. Or even worse..."
We all looked at each other.
"She could hex us."
"Or she could use a potion on us."
"Or you could just tell me the truth."
My eyes widened and Weasley jumped at least a foot into the air. She stood there with her hands on her hips.
"I say we all pay a visit to Malfoy Manor. Together."
"Lily-"
"Don't Lily me Draco. I'm going with you lot and that's the end of the conversation."
She turned and went back upstairs.
"Well, at least she didn't hex us."
"Don't think it didn't cross my mind!"
Weasley shut his mouth after that one. After they left I went upstairs and found Lily in bed, but I knew she wasn't sleeping. I got out of my cloths, showered and put on a clean pair of boxers.
"Forgive me."
She sat up and looked at me.
"I just didn't want you to fight anymore. All through school it was one fight after another, and then the last battle. You lost nearly everything that night. I just don't want you to have to fight anymore. I promised you a peaceful life. I just want to keep that promise."
She sighed.
"Come here, love."
I went and sat down next to her. She raised her hand to my cheek and smiled softly.
"I know you were just trying to protect me."
She slowly pushed me back and smiled at me.
"You know I hate it when you protect me, but at the same time I love it."
She covered my mouth with hers and kissed me hard. I barely had any time to react when she straddled me. She pinned me to the bed and I smirked.
"Alright, darling."
I grabbed her hips and flipped her onto her back. She smiled and leaned forward so I would kiss her. Her lips moved with mine before I slid my tongue into her mouth. She moaned softly and arched her back. I wrapped my arm around her and held her against me. Her body was so warm and soft against me. I kissed her neck and she moaned loudly. I hoped Kreacher was checking on the shop, who knows what those big ears could hear. I reached down and pulled down her bottoms and panties. I had to let her go so I could get the rest of her cloths off. I smiled at her and she ran her fingers through my hair. She pushed down my boxers and I felt her hand graze my cock. I groaned and she wrapped her fingers around me. I fell onto my back and she started to pump me.
"Oh my god! Lily!"
I felt her breath fan me before she closed her lips around me. My eyes flew open and I almost couldn't believe what she was doing. When I hit the back of her throat I cried out her name.
Lily's POV
I waited until I knew he was on the edge before I stopped. His head was thrown back against the pillows. I got on top of him again and laid my hands on his chest. He looked into my eyes as I sank down on him. He grabbed my hips and I moaned as he filled me.
"Draco..."
He leaned down and kissed me, holding me close as he rocked his hips. I kissed his neck and then his shoulder, making him moan my name again and again. He whispered in my ear, telling me how much he loved me, how good I made him feel. When we were finished he held me tightly to his chest.
"We're going to take care of this first thing tomorrow." he promised.
I nodded and closed my eyes.
Please help us dad. I miss you.
The next morning I got dressed and made breakfast with Kreacher.
"Shall Kreacher keep watch over the mistress's shop?"
"That'd be great, thank you Kreacher."
He bowed and once he finished he disappeared with a snap. Draco came down and we ate rather silently, thinking about what was about to happen. Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived a little later, Ginny had come along too. She hugged me tightly and promised it would all be over soon.
Narcissa wasn't there and for that I was grateful. I didn't want her to be a part of this. Despite his cruel, cold heart, I knew she still loved her husband. We went in and Lucius was less than pleased to see Harry and the others. He looked at Draco, who was holding my hand tightly.
"You had to bring Gryffindors to a family meeting?"
"They ARE my family. Including Weasley and his sister."
My eyes widened and I had to keep myself from laughing at the look on Lucius' face.
"Mostly his sister."
I rolled my eyes.
"Lily told me everything. How dare you try to make her leave me!"
"I've arranged a marriage for you with Astoria Greengrass."
"I refuse. I'm marrying Lily Snape. While I'm on the subject you are not invited or welcome. I don't need your money anymore, we have our own. The only reason I didn't hex you the second we got here is because she asked me not to."
He looked at me.
"You should've accepted my offer."
"But I didn't. Now here we are."
"You are to stay away from me, from my bride and the rest of my family. This will be your only warning! Never contact us or come near us." Draco said.
"Draco! You are the heir to the Malfoy-"
I was surprised by what happened next. Draco hit his father square in the face. I covered my mouth with my hand and my eyes widened.
"I'd rather be disowned than be your heir! Goodbye, father."
Draco gently took my arm and led me away. We went home and he went upstairs. I had a feeling he wanted to be alone for a little while.
Draco's POV
How dare he do this! How dare he try and bribe the love of my life! All he cared about was social standing and wealth. I was done with it. I wasn't going to take a single knot from him. I sat down on the bed and tried to calm myself. Lily came in about an hour later.
"Darling?"
I looked at her as she walked over. She sat down next to me and then looked at my hand.
"You didn't hurt yourself did you?"
"No. Lily I'm so sorry for all this."
She shook her head.
"You have nothing to apologize for. This is all on Lucius. No amount of money and no threat could ever make me leave you. You know that don't you?"
I smiled and caressed her cheek.
"Of course I do. I love you Lily."
"And I love you."
I kissed her softly.
"I promise you'll never have to deal with him ever again. I'll make sure of it."
She looked worried but she didn't say anything. I pulled her to my chest and held her tightly.
