Hi everyone. Sorry it took me so long to review. I hope you like this new chapter.
I don't own Harry Potter and Co.
CHAPTER 14
The next nine months of Draco's pregnancy went by quickly. Harry was amazed by everything going on with his lover's body. The first time he had felt his baby girl kick had left him in awe, holding Draco's stomach he closed his eyes so he wouldn't cry at the happiness he felt. Harry always made sure that Draco had everything he needed. One morning Draco woke Harry up telling him that it was time.
Five hours later Magnolia Lily Potter-Malfoy was born. At a respectful six pounds even she was healthy and had lots of dark hair that stood up on her head. She fell asleep in her daddy's arms. Papa Draco had fallen asleep a few minutes after her birth. Although it had been a shorter birth that Evan's it had been more intense.
Harry was looking at his daughter with awe. He noticed that Evan was now sitting next to him.
"Hey Evan, want to meet your sister?"
Evan snuggled against Harry so he could get a better look. "Wow, she's really small."
"Yes, when I see her like this I realize just ho much of your life that I've missed. I'm so sorry Evan."
"That's ok dad, we're together now and that's what is important." Harry wrapped one arm around Evan's shoulders while holding Magnolia with his other. This was the sight that greeted Draco when he woke up. He took a few minutes to watch not letting them know that he was awake. Harry was talking with Evan while feeding the baby. Harry's eyes were glowing with pride and happiness when he looked at his two children. When they finally noticed that Draco was looking at them they made their way to sit in bed with him. Harry placed their daughter in her papa's arms. He looked at his daughter and laughed. As much that Evan resembled him, Magnolia would resemble Harry. She already had his messy dark hair and her eyes were a much paler blue then Evan's were at birth so he had a feeling that she would have silver colored eyes like him. Draco looked up at Harry and chuckled again.
"You know that being a girl she will curse you when she's a teenager because she has your hair." Harry laughed and asked all kinds of questions of how Evan was when he was just a baby. They talked for a few hours while Evan sat down at the table doing his summer homework. Draco and Harry had agreed to let him become Severus' apprentice but only after he turned fifteen. They still wanted him to have a childhood. Until then he would have extra tutoring in potions to get extra credit. Severus informed them that he would be ready to take his potion's owl at the end of his second year. And with his grades in all his other classes he would probably finish his schooling after four years. Then he would start his apprentiship. The two men were very proud of their son and knew that he had a bright future ahead of him. The kept on looking at their daughter curious as to what would be her own strength in life. She certainly had beauty, even as a newborn her features were delicate. Harry grumbled something about her not dating until she was thirty making Draco laugh.
When Remus and Severus came into the room they found the young family happily talking and working while the baby was sleeping in her cradle. Remus leaned over the little bed and smiled at his goddaughter. He had been very touched when both Draco and Harry had asked him to become her godfather. Severus was also very taken by the young lady. He and Remus had made peace and were now enjoying spoiling the children as their godparents. Draco had also noticed the shy looks that the two older men shared. In time he had no doubt that they would become involve in a relationship with each other, so Draco decided to give them some time before he started his matchmaking. The soft spoken werewolf was just what his godfather needed in his life. They would balance each other out and had the potential to be a loving couple just like Harry and him.
Two months later Harry had proposed to Draco. He had taken the blond wizard to a romantic get away for a few hours so they could spend some time alone together. Molly Weasley had been asked to take care of the children which she did with her usual enthusiasm.
Harry had taken Draco to the Opera and then had reserved a table at one of the most exquisite wizarding restaurant in London. After they had eaten Harry took the ring out of his pocket and got down on one knee. Draco could only watch with wide eyes.
"Draco, you have been in my life a long time. We have both gone through some good times and some bad. We both survived being apart and we were lucky enough to be reunited. I love you with all that I am and I never want to be without you again. Will you marry me?"
Harry opened the box to reveal a band made of white gold which had some runes engraved in it. Draco held Harry's hand has he tried to get his voice back. He was so chocked up that he was only able to give out a whispered "Yes" before Harry took him in his arms and kissed him passionately. After the kiss Harry placed the ring on Draco's finger. When he looked back at Draco he saw tears in his lover's eyes and knew that he had some in his own eyes. Draco looked down at the ring and smiled when he saw the runes. There were four of them and they read. "Love, life, family and forever." Draco knew that Harry had done his best to convey his feelings with those words.
"This ring is different then the one I had given you when we were teens. This one represents my feelings as they are right now. I you prefer we can use the one I had given you all these ears ago." Harry looked up at his lover with a questioning look in his eyes.
"No I prefer this one. The other ring I think should go to Evan as he is your heir as well as mine."
Draco who had never been one for public displays of affection surprised Harry when he brought him in for another kiss. This one left them both breathless. After paying for their food they left to make their way back to their rooms at the school to celebrate in a much more pleasurable way.
They had decided to stay at Hogwarts during the summer so that they could be near Severus and Remus who had recently started to date. The two older wizards were very attached to the children and often took them out to play on the school grounds. Magnolia was a very active baby and had shocked the men when she had wandlessly summoned her bottle. Draco had explained that Evan had also showed early signs of magic. It was due to the fact that both children were both descendants of very powerful wizards. The men just laughed and promised to teach them both to be light wizards as they would surely be powerful adults. They could already tell that Evan had a good heart and they were hoping that they wouldn't spoil Magnolia too much.
One afternoon Evan was in the potion's lab working with Severus on the new and improved wolfbane potion. Tonight was the full moon and they wanted to try and get Remus to take it while in wolf form. Harry, Draco and Evan would be with Remus in their animagus form to make sure that the wolf drank the potion. Remus had already taken the normal potion so he would have his mind during the night making things easier.
At around midnight, while Remus was roaming the forest with his friends, Severus came out and brought a silver lined bowl and placed the wolfbane potion in it. He looked up at Remus who was in werewolf form and smiled. He indicated the bowl and told him to drink it all up. The other three animals were ready to protect Severus in case that something went wrong. A few minutes after Remus drank the potion he started changing. He seemed to be in a lot of pain. When he had fully become human again he looked up and smiled at Severus before passing out. Severus covered him in a warm blanket and took him to the infirmary where Poppy was waiting run some test on Remus to see if he still had some of the wolf genes in him.
She waved her wand and mumbled to herself for a good hour before she came out to the waiting room to announce her diagnostic.
"Well, from what I can tell from the scans it would seem that Remus is now cured form his lycanthropy." The four other men started jumping and yelling for joy. Their friend was finally cured and all this was thanks to a twelve year old boy genius.
