Chapter 37

There was an outburst of commotion behind her, but she didn't pay any attention. All she cared about was Colin.

A jet of red light whizzed past her head, and she caught a faint scent of singed hair. Knowing that more curses were surely coming, she dropped to the floor and half-rolled, half-crawled the rest of the way to Colin.

As she scooped him up in her arms, she heard Lucius, Voldemort, and Draco all screaming at the same time. She couldn't make out anything any of them were saying, but she didn't care. Now that she had her son, her eyes were locked on the candlestick Draco had charmed.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Voldemort raise his wand and begin to shout a curse, but Draco leapt on him, causing his aim to change, and instead the curse hit the corner of the dining table. It exploded in a shower of splinters. Abbey saw Voldemort cry in fury and hit Draco across the face with the back of his hand.

"Grab the candlestick, Abbey!" Draco yelled from the floor, "Don't look back!" Abbey didn't have to be told twice.

Dodging another curse, this time from Lucius, she tightened her grip on Colin and leapt onto the table, sliding a few feet along it on her side.

Time seemed to slow down as she reached out her hand for the candlestick. Everything went extra-slow…even the yelling had seeminglyslowed down.

After what seemed like an eternity, her hand made contact with the candlestick and she felt a strong tug behind her navel. A blink of an eye later, Colin still tight in her arms, she was flying forwards, going so fast that the colors around her were melted together in a cosmic blur.

Just a moment later, her feet hit solid ground, and she stumbled forwards. The candlestick fell out of her hand and hit the sidewalk with a loud clunk! Colin's crying died and he wriggled in her arms, cooing.

Abbey slowly looked up and saw that she was in front of her and Draco's apartment building; in front of her was the entrance they had burst out of what seemed like years ago. Shaking slightly, she held Colin on her hip as she stumbled towards the door. But first, she took the tracking charm off of him.

Draco watched Abbey and Colin exit the dining hall in a flash of light. Relief swept over him as he slowly got to his feet, the left side of his face throbbing. In a second he realized he no longer had his wand.

Feeling defenseless, he gazed up at Lucius and Voldemort, who were quickly cornering him.

"You lost me my heir!" Voldemort screamed furiously. He held up his wand, ready to kill. But both he and Lucius were taken aback when Draco began to laugh, smirking.

"What!" Lucius snarled, his eyes flashing.

"There was one little thing I forgot to tell you," Draco chuckled. There was a pause, Lucius and Voldemort waiting impatiently for Draco to finish.

"What?" Lucius repeated, his face red from his anger.

"There are a dozen Aurors waiting just outside the door," Draco replied, his smirk growing, "Abbey and I went to the Ministry of Magic before we came here."

"You lie!" Voldemort hissed.

"No, I'm afraid he isn't lying," said a gruff voice from the doorway. Voldemort and Lucius jumped back and gaped at Mad-Eye Moody, with eleven other Aurors behind him, all of their wands out.

"You'll have to come with us," added Kingsley Shacklebot, who was standing right behind Moody, smirking amusedly.

Abbey paced the bedroom, still in her dirty and torn clothes. Colin was safe and sound in his crib, deep in slumber. Where was Draco? Was he alright? Abbey never thought in a million years she would ever care about Draco Malfoy's safety. But she had been wrong…she was on the verge of pulling her hair out with the anxiety and tension.

She froze when the sound of the front door of their apartment opening, and a second later she was bolting out of the bedroom.

She found Draco standing in the doorway, dirty, his clothes torn, his left cheek was swollen, and he looked exhausted. But he was smiling.

"Draco!" Abbey breathed, running to him. She leapt into his arms, never so happy to see someone.

"I told you we'd get him back," he whispered. Abbey pulled away and smiled at him, tears falling down her cheeks.

"We did it!" she replied, clasping his face in her hands.

"Voldemort and Father are on their way to Azkaban…they won't bother us again," Draco continued, "Is Colin alright?"

"Yes," Abbey replied, "He's asleep."

"I never thought I'd say this," Draco said, his voice lowering, "but…" He grasped Abbey's chin between his thumb and forefinger, "I love you."

Abbey burst into sobs, and nodded her head. She then grabbed Draco behind the neck and pulled him into a kiss. Draco tangled his fingers in her hair before they finally pulled away. Abbey smiled, tears still shining in her eyes,

"I love you too."
