Chapter 6: Why did you Run Away

The next day, Severus floo'd Dragon and filled him in on the situation. It only took seconds for Dragon to agree and even less time to come through the Floo. "Where is she? Does she know?"

"She's currently in the garden and no she has no clue he's coming today. If she did, she wouldn't be here at all, she came home last night around two in the morning. " Dragon nodded his head before going off towards the garden.

"Hey Dragon, how are you?" Chastity asked, putting the shovel down and taking off her gloves.

"You're pregnant you shouldn't be gardening." Dragon said, helping Chastity up and over towards the bench. "I'm great, how are you? I heard about your guest yesterday."

"I'm great. So like the garden so far?" Chastity asked, she had been redoing the Snape gardens for about a month now.

"Chastity, you can't just run away from your problems. That's the lesson you taught me when I first met you, that you have to take responsibility for your actions. I'm not leaving until you talk to your father, I don't care how many concerts I have to cancel or how many years of my son's life I have to miss, but neither one of us are leaving here. I don't care if you are half dragon or not." Dragon said, remembering how she had scared him before.

"I left for good reason Dragon, you do not have the right to tell me I have to talk, confront, or relive that."

"My father raped me Chastity, name something worse then that."

"Ya know, it happened and it's time to get over it. Boo hoo hoo poor little Dragon, raped by guys who pretended to be his daddy. Get over it, no one cares anymore."

"Chastity, I know you are just saying that because you are upset. You didn't give up on me, and I am not giving up on you." Dragon was extremely hurt by Chastity's comment, but didn't let it show.

"Thank you Severus." Francois said, walking out into the gardens. "Hello, you must be Dragon correct?"

"Yes sir, it's a pleasure meeting you. If you don't mind I'm not-"

"No, it's fine. Severus filled me in on how much you mean to Chastity."

"I thought I told you to leave, and you you've known he was coming all along haven't you?" Chastity said, turning towards Dragon.

"If I had told you, you would have left. You are going to work this out, he left to save you and your brothers, you have a right to answer his questions." Dragon took Chastity's hand, not in comfort, but to make sure she wouldn't disappear.

"Let's start off easy huh? Hello Chastity, how are you?"

"I'm fine, and you?" Chastity asked coldly.

"I'm fantastic, couldn't be better. A little scared, but that's to be expected. How's the pregnancy going? I heard that I'm going to be a grandfather to another grandson."

"It's going perfectly, and your right. I have also been keeping in touch with my brothers, I never had a chance to talk to mom before her death. I never went to see her funeral or her grave, how's the new whore?"

"Chastity." Dragon reprimended.

"It's okay Dragon, it's one of the nicer things she's said about Lilian. Why did you run away, what was going through your mind?"

"Are you that dim witted? You just decided to up and leave England one day, for a country that our family as a whole was unfamiliar with. I was under fifteen and training the inner circle of Voldemort! I was making a lot of money doing that, I was good at that. Then you just up and leave for America, you get remarried to some twenty something slut who cared less about your children then anything. She let her fucking father, brother, and every other male relative have a go at me. If I fought back she was going to kill John and Jason, I told you time and time again that there was something wrong, John and Jason told you and you did nothing. We're not idiots, we know you killed mum, you killed her because she knew you were taking us and running and you didn't want Voldemort to find out."

"What would have happened had you stayed? You would be on the run or worse dead. I did it to save your life."

"And in the process ignored it afterwards. You didn't care about us, you cared about your own neck. That's the first and only priority most Malfoy's care about, no offense Dragon. Did you not notice that I was on the run anyways? From Voldemort and his followers? That I still have to watch my back. You've been married three times now, twice before I ran away, do you even know Jason and John's last names?"

"Of course, Malfoy."

"No, they had it legally changed to Mayer. I was fifteen and had to let people do unspeakable things to me just so my brother's wouldn't die. That's why they hid me, that's why you couldn't find me." Chastity spit out, fists clenched.

"You should have come to me about it."

"I fucking did, we all fucking did. Even Lucius' parents and himself came to you about it! Lucius fucking knew, and you wouldn't even listen to your own brother! He pulled you into your study, I was there under an invisibility cloak, and his exact words were Chastity is being raped, tortored, maimed, and blackmailed. Your words were, we'll discuss it next month right now I have a wedding to plan. There was no next month, my brothers and I saved up money, and I got the hell out of there. They went off to college, they made a life for themselves, changed their names, and the only reason they keep in contact with you was to make sure the bitch didn't suspect anything, that her oblivated memory stayed that way." Dragon rubbed comforting circles in Chastity's back, he could see Severus standing beside the door wanting very badly to be in the backyard, but knowing that Chastity needed to get this out, and having him there would just upset her to the point of sending Francois away.

"You are still a Malfoy and therefore still my responsibility. You ran away, we were all worried sick about you. You should have at least sent a letter."

"My true family knew I was safe, because they were the ones that kept me hidden from you. I am no longer a Malfoy, I am a Snape, and before that a Mayer. I also see how you are not denying the fact that you murdered your own wife. Did you even love mum? Huh? DID you even love ANY of us?"

"I love Serenity."

"Get out." Chastity said as calmly as she did yesterday with Severus. "You should have forgotten about me, because it's obvious that I did you. Go back to living with the slut and her spawn, eighteen years wasn't long enough, Jason and John will be informed of your visit so they can up and move themselves again. If I ever catch you anywhere near me or my family I will not hesitate to kill you, and that include's Draco, Dragon, and Lucius' families. You fucked over the wrong daughter."

"You always were a slut, prancing around in bathing suits on stage for all the guys to stare. How was I suppose to take anyone serious, for all I knew you could have been shagging everyone and their fathers behind my back." Francois hissed. Dragon had had enough, he quickly got up, pulled his arm back and let go. "You fucking juvenile. I'll have you arrested for this." He said, holding his bleeding nose, his lip was also split.

"I'd be out within an hour. Now, I believe Chastity told you to leave, and I'm sure Severus is more then ready to kick you out." Dragon nodded over to where Severus was standing. "Now leave before I match your eye to your robe." Once Francois was out of sight Chastity got up and sat back down on the ground returning to her gardening.

"Chastity I-"

"Don't, I don't need your pity or sympathy. Thank you for being here, I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I'll see you tonight." Dragon patted Chastity on her shoulder, knowing that when the time came she would talk to him, before heading inside the house to spend the rest of the day wtih Mat. "Oh and Dragon, I'm sorry. Happy one year anniversary, please tell Mat the same, I'm very sorry for wrecking your romantic get-a-way day."

"I'll tell him, and you are more important to Mat and I then some get-a-way. He wanted to come support you also, but he said he had something he wanted to help Draco with anyway. Thank you for the happy though."

"You're welcome, now go on M-dawg is waiting." Once she was sure Dragon had gone back in, she stopped digging in the ground and broke down crying. Once Severus was done escorting everyone to the Floo and thanking Dragon, he went to go back to Chastity. Seeing her cry, he took off his traveling cloak placing it on the bench before walking over to Chastity and sitting on the ground wrapping his arms around her shoulders. Chastity collapsed against him, burying her head in his chest continuing to cry.

"Shh, it's okay now. You're safe, you will always be safe. No one can hurt you anymore. Shh, it's okay." Severus whispered, kissing the top of Chastity's head and holding her close not caring how dirty he was getting in the process. Once Chastity calmed down, she wrapped her arms around Severus' waist, but didn't move otherwise.

"Sev, there's stuff that happened to me when I was younger that you don't, that I haven't told anyone. When my father remarried to Lilian, she found out that I was a witch like my father, I was the only child of his first marriage. She hated me for that, she thought I was a freak soas punishment she'd wait until our family thew a party and her relatives would do horrible things to me. Rape me, cut me, beat me. I've been drown, my clothes set on fire while on me. The worst was when her brother, who loved cutting himself, got a hold of me. Lucius had a field day healing that, there wasn't one part of me that wasn't cut. He found me in the unused parlor passed out and close to death, he had to give me a blood transplant, the healing took forever. I stayed at his place for two months 'studying' potions, then at my brother's appartment for another two on 'vacaton.' Do you know what it's like to be cut and the pain that comes after when you have to stick a needle into your skin so you can get a blood tranfusion, so you can eat? I will never forget that pain. Even being washed, Lucius had to wash me in just water and even thinking of the pain makes my stomach queasy." Chastity broke down in tears again.

"I'm glad you went to someone though, I'm glad you got out. I wish you would have come to me when this was happening, but I understand why you didn't. It's okay to cry it out."

"Hey, I came by to submit my lesson plans." Lucius said, walking out into the backyard. "I can come back though." Chastity got up out of Severus' arms and over towards Lucius hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, for everything. He came by today and I told Severus everything. I'm going to go take a shower and rest before tonight."

"She's been worried about telling you for a long time." Lucius said, handing Severus his outline.

"I'm glad she did, and I'm glad that you were there for her. You're like a brother to me, and I know she was in good hands. The thing that strikes me as odd is the fact that she claimed to be a virgin when she was with Sirius, and then while under Veritaserum told Melissa she was one also."

"Counter to it that I slipped her earlier that day, spell we found in a book that will give the guy that feeling of taking a girls virginity. As I said, it wasn't something she wanted anyone to know. Those of us who knew took unbreakable vows not to say anything until she was ready. When she was ready obviously was up to her, we weren't going to push the matter."

"I understand, I'll look this over and see you at the barbaque tonight." Lucius nodded before showing himself out. Severus sat down in the lawn chair, hitting the back of his head in anger and disappointment, before closing his eyes and taking in everything he heard.

"Hey, how's Chastity doing?" Mat asked, walking into the room he heard Dragon Floo into.

"She's not doing too good, but I'm sure Severus is taking good care of her. So, are you ready to go?" Dragon asked, waving his hand infront of him and cleaning himself off with a spell.

"Yep, I can't wait to see what you have planned." Mat said smiling before Dragon tied a blindfold around his eyes. Holding onto Mat, Dragon Floo'd them both to the start of their outting.

"Hey look! He's back!" A little girl in the flower shop said, pointing at Mat. Dragon pulled Mat's blindfold off.

"I thought you'd like to see what your speech making has helped so far, especially in your own hometown. You've done so much good, and it's paid off."

"Do you two remember me?" The little girl asked, walking up to them.

"You're the little girl from the press conference in Tennessee. Marie right? Where's your brother?"

The little girl gasped. "You remembered my name. Paul's at home with daddy. You remembered who I was." She said shocked.

"Of course I did. How are you?"

"I'm great. Daddy got a job, a really good job and it's all thanks to you two." Marie said, hugging both of them.

"It looks like your mother is looking for you. Here, one for you and one for you brother." Mat said, picking up two flowers out of the rose bin and handing it to her.

"Thank you." Marie said before running off to her mum. Mat went behind the counter and left a note for his mom about the two missing flowers before following Dragon out of the shop. The whole town looked amazing, the old buildings were restored, though they looked the same the holes in the roofs and chipped paint were redone and fixed. There were more street lamps put up to try to reduce crime, the parks were redone with brand new play sets, the old ones had been rusted through. The streets were repaved, and the sidewalks fixed.

"It looks like a brand new town." Mat said, turning in a circle, his mouth dropped in shock.

"Yes it does, and it's all thanks to you. Everyone who wants to work has a job, and you did that. How does it feel to know you've improved so many people's life, and in so many different towns." Dragon asked, just watching Mat as he took everything in.

"It didn't hit me until now just how much of an impact going to talk to people for an hour or two has had. I'm seriously speechless, it-it's amazing and shocking, definite happiness obviously. I helped do this, and all I did was talk." Dragon smiled, trying to hold back his laugh. Mat was acting extremely cute.

"Are you hungry?" Dragon took Mat's hand and started leading him towards one of the Cafe's he had set up reservations with.

"Yeah, yes. Sorry, I'm just shocked." Mat said shaking his head.

"It's okay. I enjoy seeing you this happy. You deserve to be this happy." Dragon sat down at one of the outside table's he reserved.

"May I take your order?" The waiter came out smiling and carrying a wrapped present on his tray. Mat was so busy looking around that he barely registered the waiter.

"Of course, we'll both have the chef's special. I'll have pumpkin juice and I believe Mat would like soda."

"Right away sir, and Mat I believe this is for you." The waiter placed the present on Mat's plate, trying to gain his attention. Mat looked at the present and then up at the waiter.

"Oh my Merlin! Josh, w-what are you doing here?" Mat asked, jumping out of his seat and hugging their waiter Josh.

"You mean Dragon here didn't tell you? Not even your parents?" Josh asked laughing.

"You're my favorite cousin, the last time I saw you you were in the hospital near death because our family couldn't afford the treatment program. What happened?" Mat asked, he was beyond shocked now.

"Well, with you going and improving everything over here my parents were able to get better paying jobs. We were able to afford the treatments, and I got a job here. Pus, when Dragon heard what happened he helped a little too. Said he didn't want to ever see you sad, and he knew that losing me would upset you. I'll go get your lunch and drinks."

"Dragon, thank you for everything." Mat leaned across the table to kiss Dragon before opening his gift. Inside was book much like the one he gave Harry, except inside were a bunch of thank you letters that people had written Mat over the months. Articles about his generosity, and the last page was a letter from Remus stating that a scholarship program was set up in his name, that way those who came from villages much like his could afford to go to school. Mat started crying, never did he think he would effect the world much like he did.

"My present seems...really stupid...compared.. to.. this." Mat said between sobs.

"Nothing you give me is stupid. Even if it was a used tissue I would still like it because it came from you." Dragon said, placing his hand ontop of Mat's. Mat calmed himself before handing Dragon his present, opening the box there were two metal pieces that opened up to reveal two picture frames, the pictures were the ones taken of Michael and Elizabeth holding Tiger.

"I love it, look how happy we all were. Plus, it's our first picture of all of us including Tiger. Thank you." Dragon said to Mat and the waiter for bringing their food. After eating the two guys went to pick up their son at Mat's family shop before going to the park.

The barbaque was going great, the guys were currently in the pool which Mat's mum had charmed into a wave pool of sorts. The twins, along with Mat's sisterwere both in the kiddie pool.

"M-dawg, M-aid. Happy Happy." Prince Harry said, clapping them both on the back before climbing into the intertubes.

"Thank you. Can you believe we've known Mat here for a year now? It's amazing how much time flys by, and you two have a son." Will said, nodding towards the play place they had set up for the little kids.

"What is this the remenescant barbaque or something? I mean seriously." Dragon said laughing before trying to drown Prince Harry.

"Dragon, can I talk to you?" Chastity asked, coming towards the edge of the pool. She was dressed in khaki peddle pusher shorts and a purple tank top that covered her pregnant belly, but it was still noticable.

"Sure, hey in there your uncle Dragon wants to see you okay. You need to come out everyone's waiting to see you."

"Yeah you're telling me he needs to come out. However, I'm only six months pregnant Dragon, he still has another three months to the day. Come on, we can go into the manor, no one's in there." Chastity said, placing her hand on her stomach. Her baby was so lucky to be loved by everyone, something that she had never felt herself until recently. Once inside, Chastity carefully sat down in one of the chairs. "I wanted to thank you for coming to the manor earlier today, I wanted to help you out for everything you've done for me. First with Sirius and then with my father. Here." Chastity said, handing him a check.

"Chastity, I can't accept this." Dragon said, looking down at the check for half a million Galleons.

"Of course you can, put it towards the wedding or Tiger. It's from both Severus and I. We believe in Mat and yourself, that you'll end up happily together in the end. Even if you two don't end up together, you still have Tiger, and that little one will definitely need stuff while growing up, and the money can be used for that."

"So what happened Chastity?" Dragon asked, before Chastity went into what happened. Once she was done, Dragon hugged her tightly calming her down as well as he could, as she was crying again.

That night, Dragon and Mat made their way back to Potter manor. After putting Tiger to bed, they both went back to their bedroom and decided to take a shower. "I love you." Mat said, turning around under the water to kiss Dragon.

"I love you too, so did you have a good day?" Dragon placed a fair sized amount of shampoo in his hand before massaging it into Mat's hair.

"Of course I did, did you? What did Chastity want?" Mat picked up the body wash and placed it on a cloth before starting to wash Dragon, leaning up to kiss him. "I hate that I'm older, yet you're taller then I am. That's not fair."

"I like it, that should count for something. Rinse." Mat tilted his head back and let the water wash the shampoo out of his hair while Dragon picked up the conditioner.

"I could get use to this."

"Really?" Dragon asked, kissing and sucking on Mat's neck while conditioning his hair.

"Mmmhmm." Mat tried to keep his mind on continuing to wash Dragon's body instead of ravishing it in the shower. When Dragon was done conditioning his hair, Mat rinsed that out as well before switching places with Dragon. Mat handed Dragon the body wash while Dragon handed him the shampoo. Once Mat was finished washing Dragon's hair, he started kissing down Dragon's body, running his hands down Dragon's back in time with his kisses. Before he reached Dragon's very nice butt, he dropped to his knees and began running his hands up Dragon's legs, kissing the apex of his leg.

"Please Mat." Dragon begged, holding onto the sides of the wall, the water running down his back. Mat chuckled to himself before running his hands from the top of Dragon's inner thigh around to squeeze his arse before taking Dragon into his mouth.

"Oh Mat." Dragon moaned, trying very hard to stay standing. Not long after, Dragon came in Mat's mouth, he swallowed everything before getting up and kissing Dragon. Dragon picked Mat up and carried him to the bed, laying him down, he wasted no time in taking Mat in his mouth while casting a silencing charm.

"You are such a tease, and now it's your turn." Dragon said, before teasing Mat for an hour.

"Dragon, Please, come on already." Mat said, bucking his hips, squirming and grabbing two fistfuls of the blanket. Dragon gave in and finished the job he had started an hour ago. Both laid spent, Mat curled in Dragon's arms.

A/N: Dragon, we did not need to know if you had a nice arse or not. Dragon:Of course you did, everyone should now Moons everyone See, it's very nice, however it belongs to Mat. Sorry girls. Kime:Walks away grumbling about idiotic hormonal teenage boys.

Dragon: Anyways, let's see I know there was a part in that story that had something to do with Kime and her biological father, I just can't remember what it is, and Kime's keeping her mouth shut.However just to let you know Kime's biological father (Isay that asshe has a step-father and then Andrew her 'da') hasnever hit, beat,or raped her. If you are interested in what happened then you can email her. Thepart about the father getting re-married and not caring about Chastity's life, that has to do with herbiological mom(as she has her'mum' Danny) and again email her if you have questions about that.On with the reviews eh?

Bitcake: You are a very lucky person, Kime was about to update this without your review, but you got in it on time. Yes, I did mean the Twins and Tiger, thank you for catching that. I had a problem with how to spell Cap's name as in I wasn't sure at all and if you go back and read the story you will see it changes from Capucius to so many different way of spelling that name that I took the name and copied and pasted it and I guess I pasted it in the wrong spot and thinking I erased his name I accidently erased Tigers :(. I've done that to alot of Song's changed God to Merlin lol. It's just none of you had picked on yet. Kime: yes I know you didn't know what was going on, but we haven't talked in forever and you can't know everything, you are not me. My mind changes daily for example the DADA lesson in about four more chapters Chastity was suppose to be talked into talking to the class by Remus. However, when I wrote the chapter the outline wasn't in front of me so being talked into it changed to being forced into it. P. I change constantly, you should know that. Erm, happy 4 months until 6/6/06..You do know that that doesn't count becuase of the 0 being there. James: Hello bitcake, yes you haven't seen me in a while and you won't until later chapters...maybe. If you convince Kime to let me out of the Kime casts spell to shut James up They need not know about that Jamesey. Chastity: I'll be as hard on him as I wanna be. I have a right to. Mat: Runs away Sev: Neither do I...Oh you told me way to go that's why. So I was thanking you.

Heather: Sev: Yeah yeah yeah. Glad you loved the chapter.

Orlin: Everyone: Thank you for the birthday wishes. Sev: I try, and thank you for the congrats. Chastity: Bite me. He gets no chance, never. Drag: It was very fun.

Adrianna: By the way, I love your name. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Draco: Thank you, you rock too. Dragon: I try, I have my friends and family to help though. Harry: Great advice, I'll keep that in mind. lol. I can't promise I'll use itthough, I've been told I have a thick head. Severus: Oh now I give you permission to call me Sevie and you use Severus, I give up with you woman. Of course I can live through the hormones of a pregnant wife, you forget I went through Cap's pregnancy with her when Sirius abandoned her. Mat: Glad you enjoy it, I'm even more glad you can picture it :). Bonsoir. Au Revoir...I don't speak Spanish lol.

Sarahamanda: I'm glad you enjoy the story so far and the last chapter :). I hope you feel better soon.
