Andi,
I'm ecstatic and I'm terrified! I'm pregnant! It's taken six years, I thought this day would never come. I was despairing of ever being a mother. I spoke to Lucius about the possibility of adopting, there are Pureblood children who have lost their parents in the events of the past year. War they call it. Is this really war? Are wars always this cold and calculated? Not that everyone is so cold. No our dear sister is downright gleeful.
I've wanted a child for so long, but how can I truly be happy about being a child into this world the way it is right now? Is this any kind of world for a child to grow up in?
If your side wins my child could end up growing up without a father? If it side wins I could lose you permanently. I know I've lost you but you could end up dead. Listen to me your side, our side. Have I chosen a side without realizing it? I just want this to end. I want or world to be safe again.
A,
Bonus to being pregnant, Lucius no longer holds Death Eater meetings at the Manor. Yet he's still part of it all. He still worships the Dark Lord. If he's so concerned about my safety and the safety of our unborn child you'd think he'd step away.
It's too late for that. You don't change your mind when you're on this side. Reg was unsure, I think he got scared, I don't what happened but he's gone. No one has seen him in ages and no one seems to care. Aunt Walburga is convinced he's given his life in service of the Dark Lord and as sad as she is that her son is gone she's proud too, she brags about it while demeaning Siri for choosing the wrong side. "At least I had one loyal child"
This war has to end so my child doesn't grow up to be a part of it.
Andi,
He's here. My son. I have a son. Lucius has agreed to continue the celestial naming tradition so he is Draco. Mother and Father are thrilled as are Lucius's parents and yet no one is more devoted to the boy than Lucius himself. Every chance he gets, I find him holding Draco, telling him stories, casting charms to send faerie lights dancing in his room. Not than ever I wish this war would end and as much as I will always love you, I hope it's my side for the safety and security of son.
A,
A child, a mere child, a boy only a month younger than my Draco, that is who the Dark Lord searches for. He is sure it is the Potter boy.
Brief consideration was given to the Long bottom boy. And by brief I mean Bella was sent to play with them. They live, but what life? You're on the same side of the war, I'm sure you know. No one else knows this but I went to see them. I was at St. Mungo's visiting someone else and I went to see them. I pretended I'd gotten lost. I saw them. They're the ones that are lost, tortured until their minds broke and Bella loves it. She's been giggling and calling for weeks now.
A baby, he's only a year old and the Dark Lord is determined to kill him. A baby? There must be another way.
