Chapter 14

Harry smiled as he and Hermione walked back up to the school. He looked at her and thought to himself that she had to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. At the moment, she was blabbering on about something or another and Kaden just nodded and agreed with her when he deemed it appropriate.

"I am so excited! Wait until Lucius finds out he is going to be a GRANDFATHER!!!" Hermione said, grinning.

Harry nodded and then stopped. Hermione walked ahead a little and turned around. "Kade? What's wrong?"

"OH MY GOD! DAD IS GONNA KILL ME!" Harry said, fear in his eyes.

"Come on now, Kaden. He won't hurt you!" Hermione reasoned.

"He...oh god, Hermione, we have to go tell Dumbledore! We need to see dad!" Harry said.

"Okay...Kaden, let's go. I know you will worry about this until we do so let's go."

An hour and a portkey later, Kaden and Hermione were in Lucius Malfoy's study. "Dad?!" Harry yelled.

They heard a voice respond and soon Lucius Malfoy entered. "What's wrong? Is Draco hurt? Are you hurt? Is Severus hurt? Did something happen?!"

Harry quickly tried to remember their plan. Hermioone murmered in his ear, "Ease him into it...go on. I told you how I tell things to my parents!" Harry nodded.

"Dad...I have something to tell you." Harry said, mournfully.

Lucius looked up. "What is wrong?!" He sounded scared to death.

"Dad, I am terminally ill. I have one month to live." Harry said, quickly. Lucius' eyes teared up before he saw how Hermione was trying not to laugh.

"KADEN! I KNOW THIS TRICK! I did it to my parents. Now what is REALLY happening!" Lucius said, scowling.

Kaden turned to Hermione, "Oh, works every time, eh?!" He then turned to his father, "You are right dad, I am not terminally ill. Well, as you know, I already have a job, house, plenty of money...me and Hermione are getting married." Lucius looked at Hermione again and saw that his son was, indeed, serious.

Lucius smiled and hugged Harry and then Hermione, "Harry that is wonderful! Hermione, welcome to the family."

"Dad, that isn't all the news we have..." Kaden interjected.

Lucius looked at his son. "What else could there possibly be to tell me?"

Hermione looked at her future father-in-law, "Well, Mr. Malfoy..."

"Lucius, please or dad." Lucius said with a smile.

"Whataboutgrandfather?" Hermione said quickly.

Lucius frowned. "Pardon? I could understand you well."

"I said....what is we called you grandfather? Because that is what you are going to be....I am pregnant with Kaden's child." Lucius started to laugh and then caught the serious look on the couple's faces. THUD! He fainted.

Hermione looked at Kaden. "Well, love, that went well."

Ten minutes later, Lucius woke up. Hermione and Kaden were sitting next to him on his bed. "HAHA, I had the strangest dream that you two were getting married and that Hermione was..."

Kaden smiled. "It wasn't a dream." Lucius sat up. "WHAT?!?!?!"

Hermione smiled and grabbed Harry's hand. "Well, Lucius, dad, we are going to be having a baby in seven months time."

Lucius gasped. "Oh my god. I am not even 40 yet and I am going to be a GRANDFATHER! I am too young to go through this. Am I getting grey hairs? I swear I am getting grey hairs!"

Kaden laughed. "Dad, your hair is as blonde as mine. You are still young."

"AND YOU ARE TOO YOUNG!"

Kaden sighed. "What's done is done. Besides, I am thrilled. I am going to have a child. And I CAN provide for it. I have the money and love to give."

"How do you think the Dark Lord will react to this news? Do you think he will be joyful?!"

Hermione's head jerked up. "What about Voldemort?!"

Harry looked nervous. "WHAT ABOUT HIM, I ASKED!"

Harry looked at Hermione. "Mione, it isn't important."

Lucius snorted. "It is not important that you are working for him! You are a freaking ally with the dark lord and now you are the fiancee of a mudblood that you knocked up!"

The next sound in the room was that of a punch followed by a sound of pain. "FATHER! DON'T YOU DARE CALL MY LOVE A MUDBLOOD! AND WHILE I AM WORKING FOR HIM..."

Hermione cut him off. "YOU ARE WORKING FOR VOLDEMORT!? YOU ARE A DEATH EATER!"

Kaden looked at Hermione. "Don't be silly. I am spying. He doesn't even know that I am Harry Potter. He thinks that I am his ally. We made a deal. I thought you knew all of this!"

"No. I just knew he had captured you on Christmas, they didn't tell me anything else!"

"Well...I am sorry. You see, I have to give him information. But I am not a death eater." He shoved up his left sleeve to show bare skin. "I am his false ally. I don't attend muggle tortures or anything. And for giving him this information he gave me a house, I am now Severus's "master" and I have given protection to three people, you, Draco and Felicia. And now I can give one of the two remaining spots to our child. It is safe."

Hermione looked down. "Very well. I don't like this one bit. But as long as he doesn't hurt our family, I shall deal with it. But I am NOT happy."

"Thank you, love."

Hermione then turned to Lucius. "It is our lives and we are having this baby and getting married whether you live it or not. You can either be there for us or you can leave us out on our own. Make your choice."

Lucius looked at Hermione and smiled. "Of course I wil be there for you. I love you both and I wish you the best of luck. When are you going to get married?"

Hermione looked at Harry. "I want to marry before I start to show too bad."

"What about in three weeks?" Harry offered.

"Good. I love you, Kaden."

"I love you too, Mione." Kade replied.
