It was almost six hours later that the limousine carrying Draco, Hermione, Mina, Colin and the twins came to a stop. Mina and the twins had fallen asleep almost as soon as they had set off, while Hermione and Draco talked about different things like Mina, the twins and Draco's home. The subject of any foreseen future between them had become a taboo subject between the two since it was so unpredictable.
They had just been nodding off when Colin opened the door, letting in a gust of wind into the warm car. Mina woke up with a shriek as the wind fluttered up her skirt. She slowly got out of the car and waited for Hermione and Draco to get out.
When they were all safely out of the car and the pram was ready to steer al Hermione found were trees.
"Where do we go now?" Hermione asked, looking at Draco for help.
"We're already here." He said smirking.
"Are we? Where is it then?" Mina said, looking around them.
"Right there." Draco said, pointing at the trees as he began to walk.
"In the trees?" Hermione inquired.
"Well kinda." He said as he approached one of the trees. Hermione, Mina and Colin followed him. The tree he came to looked completely normal to both Hermione and Mina but then he took out his wand and placed the tip on the tree. A carving began to form above his wand.
'Welcome Draco Malfoy. Please confirm your identity by holding your hand against the tree below your wand.'
Draco did as the carving said and a red glow formed around his hand. Another carving appeared where the old one used to be.
'Thank you Draco Malfoy. Please enter at your own wish.'
He turned around and they watched as the same thing happened to Colin. Hermione followed and then Mina. Draco then went to the tree close by and stuck his wand inside a small hole created into it. He turned it and they watched as a large porthole appeared in the trees. He took Hermione's and instructed her to hang onto the pram. Colin clutched on the other side of the pram and Mina hastily clutched onto the older man.
They followed as Draco stepped into the porthole and began to spin, taking the rest inside with him. As soon as Mina span inside the entrance to the porthole closed, leaving the trees untarnished and back to their original structure.
Minute's later Draco, Hermione, Colin, Mina and the pram holding the twins fell out of the exit of the porthole. Draco and Colin had seemed to be prepared for landing as they were still standing when they got out. Hermione and Mina however hadn't. They fell face first into the ground when the porthole ended. Luckily Colin had hold of pram and stopped it falling over when Hermione fell out. Draco put his wand back into his pocket.
The girls stepped up again, blushing in embarrassment as Draco nearly burst over in laughter.
"You could have held us up." Mina groaned as she brushed some of the mud of her skirt, staring pointedly at Colin.
"I only did as Master Malfoy requested." Colin said formally.
"And what did Master Malfoy request then?" Colin looked at Draco for a moment before answering.
"Master Malfoy wished for me to let you go. He said it was revenge." Mina glared a Draco.
"Oh, did he now? Well Master Malfoy better watch his back." She exclaimed before turning around and storming off.
The three watched her go before Draco shouted,
"Where you going Mina? You don't even know the way." Mina turned around and blushed bright red whiling glaring at him again.
Hermione followed Colin and Draco with Mina at her side through the open land that they had fell in. While they walked up Hermione asked,
"Wouldn't muggles be able to get through the trees or is it just a normal wood." Draco shook his head.
"We have a confudus charm on the start of the woods against anyone with absolute no magical blood in them. Other wizards can get through the woods but it is easier to use the porthole."
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Father has many dangerous creatures and spells on the forest so only people who aren't aware of the porthole or are trespassers go though the woods." They began walking up a small hill and Hermione gasped as a large stone manor appeared before them. It was exactly like her dream in which she'd found the twins were girls. Except that it wasn't full with love and joy like her dream but darkness and an unseeing evil.
She looked down at the twins encased the pram and saw Adriana smirking to herself as Ylenia frowned. She looked over at Mina and saw worry in her eyes. It was like she knew who could be there and Hermione herself had the same worries.
Someone wrapped their arms around her as they walked closer to the manor. She looked up into Draco's once icy blue eyes, but somehow she had changed them, changed them into warm sky blue eyes. Maybe it was her who had changed them but no one can ever be that sure of anything.
"Welcome to Malfoy Manor, Hermione." He said, with a hint of sadness. She hugged close to him as they reached the huge door of the Manor. Colin took out his wand and tapped three times. A small house-elf in a dirty brown teacloth opened the door allowing them to walk in.
"Jetty, will you please notify my parents of our arrival." The house-elf nodded and disappeared with a pop. Hermione and Mina looked around them in awe. The room they had entered to was huge and not a single speck of dust or cobwebs could be seen, even by the trained eye. On the walls hung pictures of what Hermione could only recognise as ancestors of the present Malfoy's. A knight of armour stood against one wall.
Suddenly two people appeared in front of them. Lucius was one of the people but the other one she only recognised as Draco's mother from the World Cup in forth year.
"Welcome Home Draco." The woman said, nodding at her son.
"And you must be Hermione." She said, taking notice of the pram she held firmly next to her. Hermione nodded.
"And you must be Mina." She said, nodding at Mina. She nodded as she gaped around the entrance hall.
"Well, Welcome to your new home Hermione and Mina." She said, slightly smiling but something in the way she did troubled Hermione. Even though it looked like a happy smile, the happiness never reached her eyes.
Lucius never spoke through the greeting, he only watched Hermione hold the pram in front of her. It was with great pride that he had the Dark Lord's daughter for a mother of his grandchildren. Even better was that these children would help the Dark Lord win the war against the Light and the stupid fool that Dumbledore was. Plus he would be rewarded greatly after the victory.
Hermione pushed the pram holding Adriana and Ylenia up the many staircases while Draco led her to their rooms. Unnoticed by her and it seemed like Draco, Lucius had followed them, lagging behind by a few paces. When Draco finally stopped in front one of the many doors they had passed, he turned around.
"Is there anything you need father?" Hermione gasped and turned around quickly spinning the pram as close away from the shadows, Draco was looking into, as quickly as possible.
Lucius stepped out, his face emotionless. Even his eyes held no emotion like Draco's could. He smirked at his son.
"I see I have taught you well, Draco." Draco watched his father, his face a mirror of his father.
"Actually I was here to tell you that we will be having in approximately three hours. We wish you to attend as will Mina." He informed them, his smirk now gone and a thin line replaced it. Draco nodded and they watched as he walked away then apparated with a pop. Draco turned back around and turned the handle of the door.
Hermione smiled as she entered the room. It wasn't really grand and sickeningly rich so much that it made her sick but it was still very above the average bedroom.
In the middle of the room stood a king-size double bed, covered in black satin sheets with a dark green trim. Near the dark headboard were forest green satin pillows. A large mahogany dresser with an over-sized mirror stood at one side of the room with a mahogany wardrobe and floor length mirror next to it at the other side. The floor was a dark wooden floor and the walls were painted a dark green colour with small silver inscriptions. At the foot of the bed were placed two cradles. A door was adjoining the bedroom to what Hermione could only presume as the bathroom.
Sitting down on the large bed she picked Ylenia out of the pram and laid her on the bed. Draco followed her and pulled Adriana out of the pram as well. Her scowl still remained on her face as she was laid on the bed. But as soon as she was laid down next to her sister, they looked into each other's eyes and both their faces lit up in bright shining smiles.
Hermione looked up from her smiling children to see Draco watching her. She smiled at him and asked.
"What?" He shook his head, coming out of whatever trance he was in.
"I was just wondering what I did to deserve you and these two." Hermione smiled.
"I don't seem to remember you doing anything." He leaned over the twins and kissed her.
Meanwhile, Mina was sat on her bed that Narcissa had shown her to. The room was covered in a dark green colour as every room in the house seemed. The door quickly opened and a cloaked figure stood in the doorway. Before she could say anything the figure exclaimed,
"Crucio!" Mina fell to the floor and writhed in pain, as white-hot knives began to poke into her body. She let out an ear splitting scream which could have got Hermione's and Draco's attention if the person had not casted a silencing spell the moment before.
"That will teach you for disobeying your father's orders." It said with a deep voice. And with that he took the spell off and walked out closing the door behind him. Now Mina was certain that her, Hermione, Draco and the twin's lives were very much in danger.
