Chapter 40

Draco sat beside Susan at the funeral and Draco held on to Breeanna and wouldn't let her go. She began to cry during the service and he didn't know what to do, Susan's woman instinct came in handy as she leaned over and took Breeanna from Draco.

"Where's her diaper bag?" Susan whispered to Draco.

"Your not going to change her right here are you?" He asked looking around at all the people that had showed up.

She shook her head, "I bet she's hungry. Have you fed her yet." Draco shook his head, "It's okay. I figured you'd be kind of off today. Do you have any bottles for her in the diaper bag."

Draco nodded and got a bottle out of the diaper bag and handed it to Susan. To Draco's amazement Susan began feeding Breeanna her bottle, as if Susan had done this before. Draco figured it was motherly instinct, you know a woman thing. He smiled and put his hand on her knee and as Susan looked over at him and smiled giving Breeanna her bottle. They both turned their attention back to the funeral service. Susan looked down at Bree every few minutes, and Draco smiled every time he glanced over at the two of them.

A couple of rows back the Blacks were sitting and it just so happened that Roselyn was also getting her bottle from Arabella. "Did you see that?" Arabella asked leaning over to Sirius.

Sirius shook his head and looked over to his wife, "See what?"

"What Susan did."

"What did Susan do?"

Arabella rolled her eyes at her husband, "Breeanna began to cry and Susan took over. She took Bree from Draco and asked for Breeanna's bottle and she began feeding Bree."

"How do you know she asked for Bree's bottle? There's no way you heard them," Sirius asked giving his wife an eyeballing.

"I listened in."

"Using your powers on your niece?"

She nodded, "If I can't use it on the teenagers I'm raising, then what good are they?"

Sirius chuckled and just let the conversation go, although he had to admit that if he and Bella's powers he'd also tap into the heads of the teenagers they were raising.

The funeral flew by for all of the guests and Draco felt his throat getting tight as they were getting close to the casket. Susan had given Breeanna back to Draco and Draco was giving Bree the rest of her bottle.

The first person to approach Draco was an older woman that neither Susan nor Draco recognized, but Arabella and Sirius a few people back recognized the woman perfectly.

"Do you see who that is?" Arabella hissed into her husband's ear.

"Of course I see who that is and I'm surprised to see the old hag here."

"It's nice to meet you young man," the woman said looking from Draco to Susan and her eyes rested on Breeanna. "It's so sad that this little girl had to lose her mother at such an early age."

Draco nodded, "Catarina was an awesome step-mother, it's just too bad that she was married to my father."

The old woman agreed, "I tried to warn her to stay away from the horrible monster after Christopher died, but she wouldn't listen to me."

Susan eyeballed the woman, of course she'd already used her discerner power to figure who this woman was and what on Earth she was doing at Cat's funeral.

"Would you mind if I held Breeanna for a few minutes?"

Draco looked at the woman oddly, why on Earth would she want to hold Bree?

"No!" Susan said standing in front of Draco and the baby.

"What? You have nothing to do with this Potter."

"Oh I believe I have every right to be around Bree. I helped Draco try to protect Cat from Lucius and try and keep Bree from him. And when Cat went to you for help to escape him, you turned your back on your only daughter and not to mention your only child."

Draco turned to his girlfriend, "Do you know this woman."

Susan shook her head, "No but I know of her. Look at you, you won't even look at your only daughter in her casket."

Draco's eyes almost popped out of his head, "You're Cat's mum?"

The old woman flinched at being called Catarina's mother but she nodded.

"Why didn't you help her out when she needed your help?"

"She was married to a Death Eater."

"By force!" Draco yelled. "Damn! I am a son of a Death Eater and Breeanna is the daughter of one too. I don't ever want to see your ugly face again, and don't you ever try and come around my little sister either."

Catarina's mother looked shocked that he'd talk to her like that, "How dare you!"

"No how dare you, and if you don't mind…please leave."

"I do mind…"

"I believe you do need to leave," Arabella said stepping beside Draco with Roselyn in her arms.

"Hello Arabella, so I hear find muggle like you is doing pretty well married to a full blood and the Minister's wife."

"Don't you talk to her like that," Sirius said stepping up. "And as Minister of Magic, I demand you leave. You are interrupting a funeral service and upsetting some of the guests."

The old woman gave Sirius a look of loathing, but she knew that if she disobeyed the Minister she could be thrown into Azkaban for half a week and there was no way on Earth she ever wanted to return to that place. "Fine," she said giving Draco a disgusted look. "But she is my grandchild and I have rights to see her." The old woman stormed out of the church.

"She didn't even glance at Catarina," Susan said looking sad.

Bella nodded, "Look we'll talk about it later okay? We'll meet you guys outside."

After about forty-five minutes of guests walking up to Catarina's casket and then walking over to Draco holding Breeanna in his arms. Everyone was finally out of the church and Draco handed Breeanna to Susan, "Can you hold her real quick? I need to say my goodbye." Susan nodded and pulled a little pacifier out of the pink diaper bag that was hanging off Susan's shoulder.

Susan decided to sit down at the first pew and let Draco be alone with Catarina for a few minutes and since Susan and burped Bree before the funeral service was over Susan was rocking back and forth and trying to get Breeanna asleep.

"Susan?"

"Yeah?" She replied looking up from Bree.

Draco had an odd smile upon his face and Susan wondered what he was thinking, "I love you."

"I love you too."

"You know that's the first time we've said it to one another," Susan nodded at his question. "I've meant it before this time that we just said it."

"I know, I did too."

"You want to say goodbye to Cat?"

Susan nodded and handed Breeanna to Draco, "You're going to show her to her mother right?"

"Yeah, even though she won't ever remember her mother."

Susan nodded, "And if she ever has any problems with never knowing her mother she can always come to Harry, Bridget, or me. The three of us have always had the luxury of never knowing our mother either."

"Yeah but at least the three of you have tapes of Lily and James."

Susan nodded, "And so will Bree."

"What?"

"While you were away from the Order, Cat and I did a exactly what Arabella and Sirius did with my parents. I recorded Cat in case something like this happened."

"You knew?!"

Susan shook her head no, "But there was the treat of Death Eaters then."

Ten minutes later Susan, Breeanna, and Draco emerged from the church and Draco plus four other Pallbearers carried Catarina's casket to her burial plot in the Wizarding Cemetery, but the surprise to everyone was that she wasn't in the Carrey or Malfoy plot…she was next to Chris, her first husband.

Susan was of course staying tonight at Belle and Sirius's house, and Draco went back to the Malfoy Manor to see Minnie the house elf standing in Breeanna's room.

"Minnie? What are you doing in here? Where's father?"

"He won't be coming home tonight and has asked me to ask you if you will take care of little Bree. Or if you don't I have to."

Draco nodded, "Minnie have the day off."

Minnie began to cry, "Is Master Draco mad at me?"

Draco shook his head no, "You've been working for my father since before I was born. I just would like tonight Bree and me. Do you mind?"

Minnie shook her head no, "If you need me, wherever you will be tonight, Master Draco just call on me." Minnie popped out of thin air and left Draco alone with his little sister.

Draco then laid Bree on the changing table as he changed her diaper and packed some clothes in her diaper bag and then would go to his room to pack some things too.

At Hogwarts…

Harry and Ginny sat in front of a Common Room fire relaxing and just resting in each other's embrace. They were happy and they had no reason to push their relationship forward or slow it down. Adora and Ron had gone to see Hagrid, he desperately needed help grading papers for his class and Adora and Ron had volunteered, as they didn't take his class anymore.

"How do you think Draco is doing?" Ginny asked out of no where.

"No clue, never really fancied getting close to the guy." Harry said with a shrug, "But from what I hear from Susan, he was really close to Catarina since he found out she was pregnant."

"How do you things are going to go once Autumn has her baby?"

"No clue. Sometimes I just can't figure Susan out. I mean I know she cares for Draco, in some way I'll never understand, but I have no clue."

"I hope they make it."

Harry turned to Ginny, "Really?"

"Yes," she nodded. "They both care for one another really deeply…like you and I do, and like Ron and Adora do."

"Who do you think the lucky guy for Bridget is."

"Hmm…tough one." Ginny lied, she of course knew who Bridget would end up with. "Bridget jumps from guy to guy you know." Harry nodded, and Ginny went on. "I know she cares for Oliver a lot, but it just seems like nothing is happening at the moment. She's been talking a lot to Jake Seuss of Ravenclaw."

"What year?"

"Fifth, like Bridget and me."

Harry nodded and was quiet for a few minutes, "Do you still love me?"

"Yes, Harry why would you ask me that?" She asked looking at him oddly.

"I don't know…I just know things haven't been the same lately with me gone all the time busy with the Order."

"Harry I understand you've got to get things done to get rid of him."

"You know Adora got an offer to join."

"What?! That's great! What did she say?" Ginny asked all excited, because she knew with how powerful Adora's powers were becoming she could really help out the Order.

"She hasn't answered Dumbledore yet."

"How long ago was she offered this?"

"Since her really good vision."

"Was it before or after her birthday?"

"I can't quite remember Gin, but I know it was some where around September."

"That long ago?"

Harry nodded.

"Well why wouldn't she want to join? I mean she could do so much good."

"No clue, Dumbledore believes she'll join but only when she's ready."

Ginny nodded, "Has he asked anyone else?"

"Like?"

"Ron, Bridget, or Susan?"

Harry shook his head no.

"I wonder why."

"No clue…has he asked you yet?"

"Nope," Ginny said and Harry thought he heard a bit of disappointment.

"He's got his reasons Gin." Ginny nodded and began to study her Transfiguration notes again. For the rest of the night Ginny acted as if it didn't bother her, but Harry knew better. Ginny was the kind of person that wanted to help others…a lot like Harry, and maybe that's why they got along so well and their relationship was so strong.

Dumbledore's Office…

"Come in," Albus Dumbledore said sitting behind his desk looking at some reports back from the main Headquarters of The Order of the Phoenix. The door opened and Professor Dumbledore was surprised to see this person. "Can I help you with something? I didn't expect to see you back for another two days."

The guest nodded, "I know. But I need to speak with you about something."

"Go ahead, I'm all ears."

"It has to do with Breeanna Katelynn Malfoy."

Dumbledore nodded, "I guessed that was for your visit."

"We need to get her away from that monster that is her father."

"I totally agree."

"So what should we do?"

"I don't know," Dumbledore paused. "Obviously you have an idea or else you wouldn't have visited me, right Draco?"

The Evans…now Black Manor…

Arabella sat in Roselyn's nursery and she'd had Roselyn asleep for about thirty minutes now and Roselyn was safe and sleeping fine in her crib. Arabella was rocking a different baby to sleep right now, she was rocking her good friend Catarina's baby to sleep.

As much as Bella would love to take Bree in and raise her, she knew she couldn't. Lucius was still alive and Belle had never been officially named Godmother. Arabella looked down at Breeanna and felt only pity for what this child was going to have to go through.

"Don't pity her Belle," Sadie Potter said standing at the door of the nursery.

"And why not? She's lost her mother."

Susan nodded, "And so have I and I grew up fine."

"Yes, you all got placed in great homes after Lily and James died."

"Harry didn't, he got Aunt Petunia."

"But we still got him out of there."

"I know Draco well and he'll find a way to get Bree out of Lucius's grasp."

Belle smiled, "I hope you're right for Bree's sake. It would stop Cat rolling over in her grave."

About Midnight in the Black Manor…

Susan slept quietly in her bed and Bree was next to her in Roselyn's bassinet. It had surprised Susan when Draco had never returned back to the house. She had no clue where he'd gone, but he'd showed up with Bree hours ago and asked Susan to watch over her and that hopefully he'd be back soon.

Her door flew open and Susan jumped to the bassinet and held Bree close to her, she knew the worst was coming.

"Hey my love," Draco said closing the door behind him and turning on the light.

"You scared the life out of me."

"Sorry, but I have good news."

"Really?" Susan said placing Bree back into her bassinet, "What's up? Where'd you go?"

"Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts? But what for?"

"To see Dumbledore."

"And?"

"We need to go somewhere real quick."

Susan looked at him oddly, "What on Earth are you going on about?! You came in like a mad man and now you want me to leave with you in the middle of the night to where only Merlin knows."

"We need to run to America."

"For what? I'm not going in hiding damn it Draco, what have you done now?!"

"No, no. Nothing like that. I also dropped by the Manor and Minnie says no sign of father. So we have to do this quick."

"Do what?"

"Run to America real quick."

"For what?"

"Get married."

"What?!" Susan asked as her mouth dropped completely. "Get married? Are you out of your bloody mind!"

Draco shook his head, "No I'm actually finally thinking straight. If we get married we can file guardianship on Bree and get her because my father is an unfit father."

"How will we raise her Draco? We're both in school still, we have classes to attend."

"Don't worry I have all of this planned out. Just say you'll marry me."

"Draco my family will kill me!"

"Because I'm a Malfoy?"

"No because we didn't tell any of them. And we're only getting married to protect Bree not because we want to get married."

"You don't want to marry me?"

Susan shook her head no, "I never said that. Of course I do, but after we graduate."

"We love each other and that's all that counts. Minnie will come with us to Hogwarts and take care of Bree while we are in classes."

"What?! And Dumbledore approved of this?"

Draco nodded, "There are times where there have been students to get pregnant and married, so there are rooms for married couples. We can get our own room and it's not in a Common Room, it's close to the Great Hall. No one will know that we have Breeanna. She'll never leave our room. Harry, Ginny, Bridget, Ron, and Adora can come and visit us anytime we want."

"I'm not sure about this. Belle and Sirius would have a cow."

"I've already talked to them about this."

"When?"

"Before I stormed in here."

"And their cool with it?"

"Susan they can't stop us, we're sixteen. We are of legal age!"

"Not in America."

"We bring our Passports."

"What passports?"

Draco pulled out two passports to show her and a Wizarding World Marriage lisence.

"So I guess we're going into the Wizarding part of Las Vegas?"

"Is that a yes?"

Susan bit her lip, "Yes it is. Oh my! We're going to be a family! You, me, and Bree! When are we going?"

"Now! So get something pretty on and meet me in the Living Room."

"Wait!"

"What?"

"Draco we won't have any witnesses."

He smirked, "Oh yes we will. Belle, Roselyn, and Sirius are going with us. Dumbledore is letting Ginny, Harry, Ron, Adora, and Bridget meet us there in the chapel that is reserved for us. I'll get Bree dressed and you get dressed."

"We're really doing this then?"

Draco smiled, "Only if you want to."

Back in Dumbledore's office…

"What on bloody Earth does Dumbledore want with us?"

"That's Professor Dumbledore, Mister Weasley," Dumbledore said entering the room.

"Sorry Professor."

He nodded, "Apology accepted.

"You've all been invited to a Wedding Ceremony in Las Vegas, America."

"Who on Earth would be getting married at this time?" Ron yawned.

"Mister Malfoy and Miss Potter."

"WHAT?!" Everyone the room yelled and Dumbledore let out a soft chuckle.

"For what?!" Harry asked outraged, "She's too young to get married! I mean she's not even seventeen yet! She's not of legal age!"

"Not in the Wizarding World, but in Britain yes she is Mister Potter."

"Well what made them decide out of now where to get married? I mean have they even told one another that they love each other?" Adora asked thinking it was spur of the moment, but of course she'd seen this months ago.

"I don't know if they've said that they love one another or not. But I do know that they are going to get married and raise Bree." Dumbledore said going on.

"So this is why the decided to get married out of nowhere?" Harry said getting angry, "Why should my little sister get conned into marrying him just because she wants Bree to grow up with a mother. How are they going to raise a baby and go to school?"

"Harry, I saw this months ago."

"What?! And you didn't say anything?!"

"Harry you know I can't!" Adora yelled back at her nephew.

"So does it work? Or can you not tell me that too?"

"I'm not suppose to, but yes it does work. They end up raising Bree and have children of their own. Happy now?"

Harry nodded, "Come on. What do we have to do to get there?"

"Touch this ball and it's your port key. Tell the Newlyweds Congrats and hope to see them tomorrow with Bree."

They all agreed and Harry nodded just in a stupor.

I mean come on…his little sister was getting married at sixteen to Draco Malfoy…how else was he suppose to feel?
