Chapter Three: Memories AwakenThe Next Day:
The early morning light streamed into the sitting room falling on the sleeping forms of Draco, Lucius and Severus. Each did everything possible to keep from rejoining the waking world. However, the bright light of the sun would not allow them to hide anymore, add to that fact each realized that their heads was pounding with a resounding headache. With the pain came the knowledge and memories of the past, which had been suppressed for fifteen years, came flooding back to them. The fake memories disappeared and or integrated with the true ones. The least affected by memory reversal was Draco since he had been a baby, 14 months old, at the time Narcissa decided to play God. For a long time Lucius and Severus just stared at each other and then in an instant they were in each other's arms just holding each other basking in the glow of being reunited. Draco crawled over to his fathers stating, "Narcissa is not my mother?" It was a statement not a question.
"True, that treacherous bitch, I will make her pay for breaking up my family." Lucius growled.
In a small voice, full of doubt Draco asked, "Did my true mother love me? Did this happen because I was bad?"
Smiling as the memories ran through their head, Severus looked down at his son and said, "Rhainnikki loved you more than life itself. You should have seen her while she was pregnant with you, she spent so much time focusing on you and you weren't even here yet. It got so bad that Lucius and I became jealous, but then she would show us how much she loved us and all was forgiven."
Not wanting to speak about his parents' sex life Draco moved on. "Do you think she still loves me? I am not popular and I can't beat Granger's grade or Potter in Quidditch would she still want me as a son? And what about you Uncle Severus, I guess since I look like Lucius I am his son not yours."
Walking into the room with a tray loaded with food, Rhainnikki stops and looks at two of the three men that made her life complete. Setting the tray on the table in front of the bed she had transfigured the night before after they fainted. Sitting down beside her son she said, "Draco I have never stopped loving you even when I thought you were dead. You are my son I carried you inside of be for nine month and that was one of the happiest times of my life. So no matter what happens or how much time has passed nothing will change the love I feel for you. I don't care if you are popular or if you beat whoever this Granger person is or Harry Potter at some stupid sport, my love for you is unconditionally immortal." Carefully at first Rhainnikki took Draco into her arms and hugged him for all she was worth soon he was hugging her back. With each minute of the hug, the doubt she had been feeling all morning left her, gazing into her husbands eyes she smiled.
"Not that I meant to eavesdrop, but to answer your question as to whom your biological father is; the answer would be both Severus and Lucius. Since we are a bonded triad it would be have been impossible for me to conceive a child of one them. So with the aid of potions and magic, we combined our energy, their semen and my egg and you were created. Since Severus was not in a hurry to produce an heir for the Snape line, he agreed that our first-born child could have the Malfoy looks, however are daughter will have the Snape looks. Therefore Draco Damon Snape-Malfoy you are a special child because you have 3 biological parents and one adoptive parent, two fathers and two mothers. Does anyone want breakfast?"
Looking at his mother confused Draco asked, "How do I have two mothers?"
"As much as it pains me to say this both Narcissa and I are your mothers. I may have given birth to you, but she raised you and a find job she did of it because you are everything I could want in a son. Don't get me wrong I have not forgiven Narcissa and I intend to see her punished for her trespasses, but she did do right by you and for that I am grateful."
Lucius and Severus' faces hardened, "Where is the little bitch, when I am done she will regret betraying the Snape -Malfoy's." Severus said.
Setting a plate in front of each of them, "Narcissa is still here, but as the wrong party I have already arranged her punishment, trust me she will not be getting off easy. As soon as she has wrapped up her affairs here she will be leaving. But let me make something clear while I hate that Narcissa went to such extremes to break up our marriage, I blame myself for her actions. I know this is not the time to say this but Narcissa is my sister, she has bleed for me, she has been tortured and abused for me. I owe her, maybe it was my debt to her that clouded my mind for I was the one who raised her after our parents and brother was murdered. Maybe it was my over indulgences that caused her to do what she did, I can not say but she is not an evil person and while I might not care to hear the reason now, I am sure she has what she thinks are very valid reasons for what she did. However, in the end Narcissa is still my beloved sister and in time she will be welcomed back into this family. However we all need time away from her. I know you may not like my decision now but trust me this is for the best."
Rhainnikki could tell that her spouses did not like this decision, but they accepted that it was her choice. And while Rhainnikki was not dumb and knew that they would plot against her sister until their vengeances was satisfied she was know that there was nothing they could do to hurt her. Narcissa was just too powerful for them. Deciding to let the matter drop Rhainnikki threw herself into serving her family. After breakfast was served no one said anything breakfast this morning was a silence affair. Soon after everyone was done Rhainnikki turned to Draco and said, "I realize how conflicted you are right now, but I think it would help if you took some time and actually spoke to Narcissa."
Lucius and Severus both jumped up but it was Lucius who spoke in a strained voice, "While I have to accept that it is your right to punish your sister, I will not take the chance that she will hurt my son before leaving this house."
Rhainnikki's eyes flashed red, "Do you think that after missing and crying for my family for fifteen years that I would let anything harm you? I would die in your place to keep all of you safe. Narcissa will not hurt him, if she wanted to then she could have done so during the time I was away. Blood speaks to Blood, you should both remember that." Pausing in her words Rhainnikki's eyes soften. I know you wish to protect us, but you truly have nothing to fear from Narcissa. Besides the only reason I suggested Draco speak to her was that he needs closure with what happened. He needs answers to his questions and there is no better time to do so since we will not be seeing Narcissa for a long time." Turning to Draco she smiled a bright smile, "Draco you are sixteen and you know what you need, if you wish to address Narcissa before she leaves you may do so. Her transport will arrive at 1 pm, until then she will be in the blue room. If you choose to go then take as much time as you need, there is no rush and no matter what you will not hurt my feelings by talking to her. What has happened will effect you the hardest, I understand."
Not wanting to argue after being reunited so soon, Severus and Lucius sat down and let the matter drop. But they looked at each other over their teacups and both knew that they would have their revenge against the woman that had wronged them by trying to destroy their family.
After the house elves had removed the remains of the scrumptious meals the men thanked her for arranging it for them. They were very surprised to learn that Rhainnikki had prepared the meal with her own hands, no help from the house elves or magic. Although everyone enjoyed the meal both Lucius and Draco hoped that Rhainnikki would not make such a grand meals. It had come to their attention that they were broke and if they wanted to survive and maintain the house then they needed to conserve money and one of the best places for that is the food bill. While Draco tried not to think about his newfound lack of wealth; Lucius made a note to talk to Severus about what their finances now were.
After everyone was done Rhainnikki called had the house elves remove the plates. Then looking at her husbands and child she said, "I suppose you want to talk, so lets talk."
Lucius without hesitation asked, "What happened, how did we lose you?"
Taking a deep breath Rhainnikki told them what she was had been able to put together, she did leave out all details about Narcissa and her true identities. She ended her tale by telling them Narcissa's lies about their deaths. "It appears that originally she intended to leave with me, but changed her mind I think she felt some kind responsibility towards you guys so she stayed. To understand what happen you have to know that you have to understand that for a very long time it was just Narcissa and I. Then out of the blue I fell for you both, married you then gave birth to you son. I believe she became threatened that you would take me away from her totally, not being able to handle this she decided to separate us. I am not saying that it is okay, I am just telling you why I think she did what she did.
After deciding that she would stay with you guys, Narcissa returned here and performed a few memory charms; she also magically bonded herself into the Black family. This allowed her to create documents and a seamless past for herself." In a small voice she whispered, "I am so sorry I did not look for you. Trust me had it been anyone but Narcissa telling me the news I would have moved Heaven and earth to find you." Then wiping tears from her eyes Rhainnikki said, "But her plan had a flaw despite all the precautions she took, Draco you were her down fall. It was your power spikes led me to you."
Unfamiliar with the phrase Draco looked at her confused, "What are power spikes and why would I have them?"
Smiling at her son she said, "Well Draco, you should know that you come from three lines of pureblooded magically beings. The Snape line is filled with wizards, witches, veelas, vampires, magical were-wolves – not the cursed ones-, as well as moonwalkers. While the Malfoy lines are also full of wizards, witches, veelas, succubus, seers, dragons. While my own family line extends back to Atlantis, and the line has never produced a non-magical person, we are pure magic users. What I have also failed to say is that all three lines have magical beings no longer in existence. But talents and traits from all species of beings flow through our genes, thus you my dear boy are a very powerful young man. Narcissa was aware of this and when you were younger bound more of your exotic powers. That is why the rest of this summer I will endeavor to teach you control of your power." Stopping at the look all three men gave her she laughed and got up to get a drink of water. Sitting back down she began again.
"I take it from your looks you guys did not know this about our family lines?"
Draco being the first to recover shook his head. "No, father has had me study our direct ancestors. From my studies I have learned that all of them have been wizards and witches. I guess we are not purebloods wizards anymore." Frowning Draco felt another layer of his foundation crumble. Who was he if he did not have wealth and status as a pureblood wizard?
Frowning Rhainnikki looked at her son and husbands and asked, "What is so important about being a pureblood wizard, when you are a pureblooded magical being. You come from power, your genetics and magical makes you superior to most other wizards. When the word Pureblood wizard was coined it meant that you came from a diverse magical background. As long as no muggle entered the line then you were pure. Hell demon blood is much better than muggle blood. Now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with muggle blood, but there are flaws within, but in order to keep the blood lines from deteriorating due to inbreeding certain muggles that breed together can reach the threshold point and produce magical children. Over generations of breeding with other magical beings they become the new and young generation of pureblood. But anyway this is a discussion for another day.
What lead me to find out the truth was that after Lucius was imprisoned Draco did not take it well and his emotions overwhelmed him. Thus you experienced power surges in your distressed state and with your magical background these spike were off the charts to those that could monitor them. The next part might come as a shock to you, but Narcissa told me that it was Voldemort's that had you guys killed. When I heard this I did everything to see to his downfall. But then he came back two years ago and when I found this out, I began my efforts anew to destroy him for good. So my friends and I have been monitoring power in England, when they saw the spikes and how powerful they were, my friends investigated. What they found was that the spikes were very similar to mines and upon further investigation they found you. Research showed that you were the child I thought dead, living with the husband I thought was dead, so they came and got me. I straighten my affairs up and came back here to get my family."
"Wow, I don't know what to say?" Draco responded.
"Well I have a question. Do you still want me?" Rhainnikki asked.
Lucius and Severus closed their eyes each caught up in different memories and aspects of the past. Neither had an easy life, both were neglected and abused as children. Both were abandon and ridiculed during school but the one bright spot was the excitement and love this woman brought into their life she healed them she completed them. But both knew that problems were going to arise because they now served the man she was bent on destroying. 'Merlin, when we got together she was our life; we were as devoted to her as she was to us, and we learned to love each other in the process. This love grew and we both came to realize that we love each other and her with our own special brand of magic.'
Rhainnikki Malfoy-Snape was their water, their air and their salvation. Severus and his beloved and greatly missed wife. And with that thought he realized that nothing has changed. They still needed her and Merlin knows he still wanted her. 'Damn, Narcissa there was so many times in the past 16 years that he needed his wife and husband and she took them away from him. But now he can have her back this woman who had been missing from his life. And by Merlin he was going to take it. They both were. Looking up at her he smiled. And he could see the tightness she was feeling released looking at Severus who nodded he said, "Our love for you has not changed and we will never let you go again even in death we will follow you."
Snape spoke up after he was done speaking, "Merlin I have been grieving for you for so long. When Narcissa altered my memories she left me with most of our life together in tack, I remember falling you, the jealous of competing with Lucius for your hand, the triumph of beating him and winning your love. I remember our wedding and being married to you, and then you died taking our child with you. I have never forgiven myself for not saving you." Suddenly getting anger at how that bitch destroyed their lives, he needed to know her fate. "What will happen to Narcissa?"
Rhainnikki knew exactly when her husband became anger and at first she feared it was because something she had done. But then she heard his question and knew that the anger was directed at her sister. Taking a deep breath, "I am glad that you want me, because you are stuck with me. As for Narcissa, I will not harm her she is to be sent home where she will stay until she understands exactly what she has done and learned responsibility." Staring into Lucius' icy sliver-blue eyes and Severus hot Onyx eyes, "I hope in time you can come to terms with this and forgive her. She is my family, my blood. And if there is anyone to blame it is I, I raised her since she was 12, she did not have an easy life prior to that she was damaged and I spoiled her never giving her boundaries or a moral foundation. And we all do things that are wrong, and we learn from those mistakes."
They all heard the anger and regret in her voice and decided that since they had been gifted with a second chance it would not be wasted on anger and harsh words. They were all happy to be together again. "I understand but I don't think I will ever be able to see her again."
Smiling, "Trust me I have it on great authority that time heals all wounds. It just sadly, takes time." Turning to her son, "Well Draco, I know how your fathers feel the next question is do you want me to be your mother. I know that you only have a few memories of me, but I do love you and I never would have left you. I would challenge heaven and hell for you. But I understand if you can't accept me, I just ask that you give me a chance."
Looking deep into this woman, who was his mother eyes he said, "I want to try. I loved you when I was younger and I was very confused when you left, I do remember crying a lot. But then mot… she covered my memories. All though mot… Narcissa was distance at times I never doubted her love for me. I knew that she would always be there for me. So I suggest that we start over."
With tears streaming down her face she gets up and rushes to her son, "Thank you. You don't know how happy you have made me." Pulling him over to Lucius and Severus they engaged in a group hug. "Now it is time for you Draco to decide whether you want to say goodbye to her. She is in the blue room." After this talk with his mother he now knew what he was feeling and what he had to do. With no pushing from his mother or objections from his fathers; Draco got up and left the room to go talk to his former mother. It would be hours before anyone saw him again.
