A/N- Here's the next edition to Betrayals and Secrets, everyone! I took longer than I expected, but I had to try to transfer it from my laptop to computer, but my disks wouldn't work- all four of them wouldn't work! So then I had to retype it on my computer… bummer, complete bummer, if I do say so. I have also created numerous xangas because whenever I put layouts on them they screw up and I can't get to Looks & Feel in order to change them. I appreciate all of your reviews and patience, let the chapter begin! The same thing happened with Disguises. I might also begin an account at HexFiles, I'll let you know if I do.

Betrayals and Secrets

Chapter 17

The Return of Narcissa Part II

The next day, Narcissa Black peeked in on the Hospital Wing at her son and his boyfriend. She smiled gently. Even if Draco didn't forgive her, she'd always love her precious little boy.

A cry was heard from the crib, and Narcissa was pondering if she should go comfort the sweet adorable angel that was her grandchild.

But then she saw Harry get up out of bed in nothing but boxers (a mad blush was going across Narcissa's cheeks) and walk over to the crib. Draco was still sleeping, so Harry took her out of the crib and sat back on the bed.

"Shh, oh my baby, what's wrong?" Harry whispered, and began singing:

"Lay down,

Your sweet and weary head,

Night is falling,

You have come to journey's end

Sleep now,

Dream--of the ones who came before,

They are calling,

From across a distant shore

Why do you weep?

What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will see,

All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms,

You're only sleeping

What can you see,

On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls calls?

Across the sea,

A pale moon rises,

The ships have come,

To carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass,

A light on the water,

All souls pass

Hope fades,

Into the world of night,

Through the shadows falling,

Out of memory and time

Don't say,

We have come now to the end,

White shores are calling,

You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms,

Just sleeping

What can you see,

On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea,

A pale moon rises,

The ships have come,

To carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass,

A light on the water,

Grey ships pass,

Into the west."

By the end of the song, Angelique had fallen back asleep. Harry sighed and clutched his baby girl to his chest. "I'm so glad you're safe..."

Narcissa took a deep breath. "Harry?" she whispered.

Harry looked up at her. "Oh, hi." He walked out of the Hospital Wing so that Draco wouldn't see him with Narcissa and shut the door quietly. "Why did you come back after you abandoned Draco?" he asked quietly.

"Harry, you must understand, that if I had a choice in the matter, I would've stayed with Draco no matter what," Narcissa replied. "But my husband, Lucius, forced me to leave but also made it look like I had just abandoned Draco...if I didn't leave, he'd kill me and my son. My baby. I could NOT let that happen, not in a million years."

Harry's eyes widened. "He would really...kill his own family? His wife? His son?" he asked.

Narcissa smiled. "It was an arranged marriage…we never loved each other," she sighed sadly. "Lucius always loved me like a little sister, until the Dark Lord brainwashed him and twisted all his thoughts around…but I didn't know Lucius had been killed…"

"Killed!" Harry exclaimed.

"The attack on Azkaban, you didn't hear of it?" Harry shook his head. "Well… Voldemort set out an attack on the Prison, and the Death Eaters must have killed him in the process. Harry, I'm so glad you're Godfather wasn't there when it happened."

"You mean, y-you and Sirius are friends with each other?"

"Of course, Dearie, we are the best of friends- but it's more of a brother-sister bond we have, even though we're cousins," Narcissa smiled and looked at Angelique. "My, that is a pretty child. Were you the one pregnant, Harry?"

Harry nodded. "If I had known, Harry, I swear I would've--"

"It's not your fault, Narcissa, you had no choice," Harry said, and then the door opened to reveal Draco. From the look of shock on his face, he had heard the entire conversation. "M-Mother…I'm so s-sorry…"

"Come here, baby," Narcissa whispered and Draco ran into her arms and hugged her. "Shh…" she said as she rocked him back and forth. "It's not your fault."

"Yes it is! If I wasn't b-born you wouldn't have had to flee!" Draco wailed.

"Draco, you listen to me right this instant!" Narcissa Black exclaimed, shaking her son gently by the shoulders. "Don't you ever think that! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!"

Draco spluttered, his bottom lip trembling as he broke down into tears again. Narcissa rocked him back and forth. "Shhh, my Dragon, go to sleep."

When Draco eventually fell asleep, Narcissa smiled. Harry asked her if he could take Draco and she could hold Angel. Narcissa took baby Angel and handed Draco over to Harry, who whined at the loss of touch but instantly quieted when he felt Harry wrap his arms around him and hold on tightly. Harry brought Draco over to their bed and sat down on it. Narcissa left the room after Harry told her where Lily and Severus were. So now, Harry ran a hand through Draco's blond hair and kissed his forehead. "My dragon. My beautiful, gorgeous dragon. My love."

Draco smiled in his sleep, and cuddled up unconsciously closer to Harry, who smiled sadly. "Draco..." he whispered, and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you...so--so much…"

………………………………

About two weeks had passed since then, and Christmas was fast approaching. Narcissa was staying with Lily and Severus in the dungeons and Draco and Harry were staying with Sirius and Remus, along with baby Angel. Right now, Harry was sitting on the couch in the dormitory flipping through TV channels, when he found That '70s show.

"Let's get a Cockatoo--or three!"

Harry gasped and instantly sat up. That was his favorite episode. Remus looked up from the book he was reading and looked at what was on the television screen. He sighed. "Harry...are you ever going to stop watching that?" Harry grinned. "Make me."

Remus sighed and went back to his book. When the episode was over, he sighed and turned to another show. It was General Hospital. The one where Manny talks to Christina, Alexis' girl.

"Hello, sweetness..that's a nice dolly, you know you shoudln't leave her alone.."

"Now that is one good crimminal!" Harry exclaimed.

Sirius looked at the bald man who had so many tattoos it was kind of sick. "Are you sure?"

Harry nodded. "Manny Ruiz," Harry replied. "That's his name. He had a brain surgery and now everyone thins he's so completely innocent of all the crimes he committed--except a few people."

"Got any movies, Harry?" Sirius asked. "It gets kind of boring if you keep on watching the same episodes of That 70s Show over and over again... along with the O.C."

"Hey, that is the best show, I'll have you know!" Harry exclaimed. "Seth Cohen is a genius!"

"Must get it from his father," Remus said sarcastically.

Harry glared. "They're both geniuses...and my favorite girl is Summer," he stated. "Now leave my favorite characters alone. I don't see you bashing me around all day," the two chuckled. "But I do have movies--Lord of the Rings."

"Awesome!" Sirius exclaimed. "I read the books!"

Remus' eyes widened. "The Lord of the Rings--all three? There's alot of information there, Sirius, sure you just didn't scan through page after page like with Alice In Wonderland?"

"The Chesire Cat reminded me of McGonagall!" Sirius whined. "The rabbit reminded me of James, and the Queen reminded me of Umbridge."

Harry burst out laughing. "Alice remind you of anyone?"

"Erm..." Sirius thought for a moment, before saying, "Lily."

"Why mum?" Harry asked.

"She was always curious," Sirius replied. "Right, Remus?"

"Yes, always very curious, but I do think Fred and George We--Potter, have two hobbit alter-egos."

"You mean, Merry & Pippin from Lord of the Rings?" Harry smirked.

"Those ones exactly," Remus replied. "The fireworks? Dragon?"

"I think they're much better than Fred and George!" Harry exclaimed as the twins entered.

"Who's better than us?" they asked, sitting on either side of Harry and wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

"Merry & Pippin from Lord of the Rings," Harry smirked, seeing their reactions. "No way! No one's better than us at pranking--that's our thing!"

Harry shook his head sadly. "My favorite characters are Arwen and Aragorn...and Gandalf."

Remus looked at him. "Why Gandalf?"

"In the movie, he's like a carbon copy of Dumbledore," Harry replied. "It's rather freaky."

"That's why you like him?" Sirius smirked. "He's... freaky?"

Harry threw a nearby pillow at Sirius, and Remus chuckled. "All right, you two. Knock it out. Harry, where's Draco?"

"With Angelique in our room," Harry replied. He then got out a book and quill and began to write--after the twins left, of course.

'December 20th, 1997

Christmas is fast approaching. I got a gift for Draco, I hope he likes it. Ever since Narcissa came back, he's been more happ--more outgoing. I'm so happy for him, but I feel like Narcissa needs someone...like, a lover. Sure, she was with Lucius, but he was dead. She needs someone. I'm trying to think, but it seems everyone is all ready in love.

Hermione is almost three months pregnant. She thinks it's a boy. Krum's been oddly overprotective of her, and the youngest Weasley kids--belonging to Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater--Chase and Keisha, have been throwing insults at Hermione and I every chance they get. more me than her, though. Only because I was the Boy-Who-Got-Knocked-Up-By-A-Malfoy. Yes, my newest title.

But I love him, and I would stay by him no matter what. I just hope he's the same way with me... I want to be with him, if that means forever, then till death do us part!

H.P.'

He closed his journal and put extra locking charms on it for safety. He then stuck it in his trunk and looked through the TV channels again. Nothing was on TV, so he walked up to the bedroom, only to find Angel sleeping and Draco gone. "Draco?''

He heard vomiting coming from the bathroom. "Draco!" he exclaimed, and ran for the bathroom. He noticed it was locked. "Dray, I'm coming in! I'm...oh my god, Draco!" he cried as a pool of blood formed from underneath the door. "ALOHAMORA!" he cried and stepped in.

"D-D-" that was all he could get out. Draco was on the floor with blood covering every inch of his body. His eyes that were so once full of life and light, had gone out. Harry, knees shaking, collapsed near Draco's body. "Dray, Draco baby, please... what... SIRIUS!" Harry cried, trying as best he could to heal Draco's wounds, but had failed miserable. He collapsed crying against Draco's body.

Sirius and Remus came running into the room. "Harry, what's-- Merlin!" Sirius exclaimed, seeign all the blood on the floor and Draco's beatened body. "Who... who did this?"

"I don't think it was Draco himself," Harry said with determination.

"Then who else could've gotten past the Wards? Apparated in Hogwarts?"

"Portkey, Sirius..." Remus said. "Harry, who do you think did this?"

He saw a piece of blond hair on Draco's robes. It was much longer than his. Harry gasped. He thought he was dead!

"Harry?" Remus repeated.

"Lucius Malfoy."
