A/N I don't like unfinished work, so I decided to finish this. It needs answers. Hope someone likes it.

New Developments
Her fathers wanted to see the place they found earlier. They didn't mention Vortex. They went looking around the old areas, hoping to find more gates or a portal. Draco showed them where the entrance was.

Her father approached it and moved back quickly. "This is an entrance to a place of the dead, not a good place. Someone created it some years ago. I can feel Dark magic; someone used recently; but the images aren't clear."

The portal, if any, wasn't found.

"Ermi, about the wedding, we must talk about it. You need to quit your job. It is too dangerous. Or at least take time off." Her father held her hand.

"No need, I think I will quit; if I have another child, I want to raise her or him," Hermione explained.

"Or one of each," her fathers said in unison, "twins run in the family, look at us."

"Has Vortex been here?" They asked her.

Hermione looked at them, showing the bracelet. It had changed, "See this, wait, no way." The bracelet showed the three of them, Draco, Vortex, and Hermione, with three young children, seemingly two females and one male.

Her father smiled. "My father has triplet brothers."

Hermione was horrified. "Triplets? No, it is a joke. Vortex cannot see our future." She noticed one child looked like a tiny Vortex. This had to be a joke.

"So you have seen him," her mother asked.

Hermione muttered, "You could say that again."

"Say what?" She heard Vortex; he was back, carrying many boxes, "From my parents for my to-be-bride. They are hoping you come to visit. A small spy warned them; when I arrived, I found hundreds of guests celebrating my future wedding. My cousins said the first daughter goes to them, I agreed."

He dropped the boxes on the ground, went by Hermione, pulled her up like she was a feather, and kissed her cheek. Draco grinned.

She wiped her cheek to clean it. "Don't force me."

Everyone looked away to smile. Draco could feel as if he were holding her. It was amazing; it was good that he liked the mighty being. Vortex made Hermione forget her sadness.

"Dearest, I also have this," in front of her, a large portrait appeared; it showed Scorpio and Rose.

It was a moving painting. "My gift to you, my work." Vortex told Hermione, who in turn hugged him tight.

"Thanks, my girl. I like to paint." He sighed.

She kissed his lips hard, a passionate kiss. Then she stayed close, holding him. He looked stunned, touching his lips; he didn't move, just stood there. Draco's eyes were closed. He was filled with a sense of wonder. It would work. Hopefully, soon. How much better could that be?

"You can touch them; it will feel like them when I painted them." Vortex said when he was able to talk.

Hermione stayed by him, her arm around his waist. He leaned onto her.

Draco was speechless looking at the painting. He stood to touch Scorpio's hair. "It is you, my son. Thank you, this is the best gift ever." They all concurred.

After a couple of minutes, to give everyone time to look at it closely, Vortex spoke, "I have an idea, we can explore it, it wouldn't change anything, but it might be dangerous. If I arrive a second before the explosion, I could pull the three alive, but if something goes wrong, we will lose them. Someone is manipulating the outcome. As I said, I was blocked; what brings something to mind, the one behind it can move thru time, maybe small leaps with a time device."

"Who is manipulating what?" Hermione's mother asked.

"Don't know; I told you I was blocked. I still believe it is all about Rose, or maybe the chance of a super guardian; they are possible with a child of a guardian and your kind; maybe with a child of you and I. Those super guardians are the fear of many; he/she would grow and could sense every portal. That could be the reason. For whatever reason, whoever is trying to stop it. If so, you, my dear girl, would run into the same danger." Vortex grimaced, looking afraid.

"I think my mother was murdered when she was pregnant for a similar reason. I don't want any harm to come to my girl." Vortex added.

"I see," Her fathers seemed upset.

"There is more. Your daughter ispregnant; it complicates matters." Vortex knew the impact of his words.

"Oh, Rose, why didn't you tell us?" Hermione cried.

"A baby?" Everyone was talking at the same time.

"Yes, a baby." Vortex explained.

"But you said she was nearly dead." Hermione reminded him.

"True, but also true that she is pregnant, and the baby will not live in this state." Vortex looked down.

"How long has she been pregnant?" Hermione wanted to know.

"She is at the start of the second quarter. I would say the baby is a male." Vortex held her hand.

Eudosi, Hermione's mom, said, "I cannot conceive, but I can carry the baby."

"No," her husbands said. "You might die. You already know that Ermi cannot do it; she cannot carry her daughter's baby."

"You said that you could do something," Hermione reminded him.

"If we find who is behind, I could make sure I wasn't blocked. I would be successful. Keep in mind that whoever has to be a powerful being. I think the murders are related to the Guardians and your family. Whoever could be using humans, creating a smokescreen to confuse us." Vortex observed. "And here is my second present."

Lucius appeared, dressed in the odd clothing. He seemed younger than before and looking angry.

"Before you are allowed to stay, you must swear not to kill anyone. You cannot do the punishment." Vortex warned him.

"Where is Mrs. Zabinni? I recognized her earlier." Were Lucius' first words. He was battle-ready.

"Father, I will tell you later, we know." Draco went to him, and they hugged.

"Our boy was all mangled. Scorpio would be dead if not because of him. Son, your mother, was involved. It is complicated; it has to be about Bella, I think. But who knows." Lucius shook his head.

"No, the Bella female is one of our worlds, reunited with one at the explosion. I saw some of them. Not all chose that. Some decided to come back. Whereas many of the dead come back, not her; they were happy." Vortex told Lucius.

"Please introduce me," Lucius looked around. Afterward, he bowed lightly. "Sorry for my past behavior; inexcusable."

The elves and the dogs ran to him, "My boys, my loyal friends," he told the elves. He went on his knees and hugged a couple of them. Hermione didn't know this, Lucius.

Vortex sat next to Hermione and Draco on her other side. Magnolia jumped on Hermione's.

All the elves talked at once, sharing the news about the Grangy. Meanwhile, Magnolia looked the other way, pretending Lucius wasn't back. Draco had to drown bubbling laughter.

"Where is my girl," Lucius called; Magnolia attempted to get up but collapsed onto Hermione, looking the other way.

Everyone laughed, "Sorry, she is a pet Magnet. I already lost my owls. Look at them, have taken permanent residence on her shoulder." Draco couldn't stop laughing at his father's shocked face.

"No, maybe other pets, but she is not a pet; she is my girl; she loves me. Come, darling." When Lucius approached, Magnolia hissed.

L'roy spoke into Lucius' head. "You are noticed, I won't renew my contract.''

Lucius sighed, "Well, well, a two-timing Kneazle. It would seem there has been a takeover, for now." Everyone laughed.

Her brother said, "She is the pet thief."

Lucius shrugged his shoulders and grinned, "A lovely one who is soon to be my daughter; we shall see."'

Draco said, "Don't be hoping for a change of heart."

"Aye," everyone agreed.

After much discussion, it was decided Hermione and Draco's wedding would take place in two days. Vortex didn't want to push it. Besides, his parents would like a big celebration; their son would marry into a sought-after family, giving them free access to portals, and he would have guaranteed happiness. However, first, he wanted to find out who was behind the explosion and take care of that danger.

Lucius and Love

After Hermione's parents left, Teddy, her brother, and Hugo explored the Manor grounds, looking for clues. Lucius sat with Draco and Hermione. He held a glass of Firewhiskey, eating from a tray of small sandwiches. He had an order of braised fresh tuna, placed next to him. Thus far, Magnolia stayed away, and his dogs had gone back to sit by Hermione's feet. Draco couldn't stop smiling at his father's wasted efforts.

"Father, go to see Molly. I found out about it, I saw her." Draco told Lucius.

Hermione added, "We can share our blood with her; well, and with you, let us."

He bowed, "Thank you, my dear, I accept it."

Lucius wanted to run to her. "Let me invite Molly."

After looking at the pictures, Molly's sadness was killing her. Lucius had a vault of his own from his grandfather; Axion had given him the key. When he came on her wedding day, they loved each other, not for the first time. He wanted to run away, told her he was very wealthy; but Abraxas had said he would kill her brothers, which he did anyway. Lucius begged, to no avail. There was more. She hid a secret from him; she had been pregnant a year before, her aunt had helped her. They had a daughter, one that she would always mourn.

She wanted to tell her daughter; she had seen her from afar. Why so many lies? She loved Arthur, a good wizard, but he wasn't Lucius. Lucius, they would always fall on each other's arms. And now he was gone.

Later that day, Molly received the invitation to the Manor and decided to go. She dressed with care. This would be her first time at the Manor. Ironic, with Lucius gone.

Lucius thought he would die. Draco helped him get ready. "I am asking her to marry me as soon as possible. Do you have an objection?"

Draco grinned, "We deserve happiness, do what pleases you."

Molly asked for permission from Floo. Only one person was waiting, "Molly, my Molly," Lucius went to her.

"Are you alive? How? Did you have help?" Molly asked.

"Yes, a powerful being. Molly, I will just ask, marry me, let's be happy." Lucius held her close to him.

Molly was crying, "Do you want to marry me?"

"Yes, if you want me as I am. I made a lot of mistakes." He held her closer to him. He was finally happy. "Will you share my blood. I am gifted. You will not age."

"I will to be with you. I will. I have a confession. I was pregnant; my aunt took me away during the summer. We have a child."

"Who, Bill, from the wedding day." He kissed her head, another child, what a gift.

"Wow," Hermione whispered to Draco, "there are secrets everywhere. Let's go."

"No from a year before, when I hid from you. I had your child, a daughter." Molly's voice faulted.

"Where is she?" Lucius wanted to see her right away.

"She doesn't know," Molly argued.

"Molly, it is time. Where?" He asked again.

"She teaches at Hogwarts. She hasn't married." Molly answered, "she looks quite young."

"What is her name?" Lucius couldn't wait.

"Don't laugh, Lucy McDonald." Molly breathed out, glad that was over with.

"May I tell Draco?"

When Lucius told Draco, he said, "Scorpio asked Professor McDonald if she were a Malfoy; he said she laughed. She said, "I wish."'

Lucius and Molly accepted the blood from Hermione and her brother, so did Draco. She prepared a potion in the Manor's potion room, and they drank it. Her parents and Andromeda came over for the small wedding. Molly decided they would have a more proper ceremony with her children. Molly looked much younger, but to the world, they would look older.

The next morning they went to Hogwarts with Draco and Hermione.

Draco could not believe that Scorpio believed her; Professor McDonald was a Malfoy the distinctive coloring. As for looks, she looked a little like Rose.

Lucy knew Molly. When she heard the story, she cried. She had been happy with older parents who loved her even if they didn't have much. Death Eaters left her an orphan.

Lucius held her, "My daughter, please come with us."

"At the end of the school's year." She answered.

"You will be in danger; someone wants to kill all the Malfoy." He told her all that had happened. She said she'd cried when she read about Scorpio. In the end, she accepted as soon as she could find someone to take her place. Lucius had decided they would move into the dowager's house. it was time for Draco to raise his family. It was time to enjoy his life with Molly.

Draco was happy, maybe all would be well. Next his marriage to Hermione.
