A/N My muse wanted two more chapters, tying loose ends.
5th birthday and a Wedding-
Bella's mother is Hermione's cousin; they verified their mothers had the same father. She is marrying Fenrir and wants Hermione's advice. She says Fenrir kisses like her dead husband but has never tried more than a kiss. "What if he doesn't want more than that?" She asks Hermione, and both laugh, thinking about how to seduce Fenrir. "I must say, he is very hot and looks like my husband. I want more than a kiss. My parents love him even more since he loves Bella so much."
Little Bella also loves him; she calls him Daddy Fenny. Though she also loves her two 'another' daddies, Draco and Lucius, and Mommy-Mimi. Most everyone loves Bella. Hermione remembers last Yuletide.
Bella and the Lestrange
The Lestrange held her to arm's length till last Yuletide when Rodolphus almost died. While visiting the Malfoy, Rodolphus fell on a patch of ice. Little Bella saw him out of a window, alerted by her exceptional hearing. She ran to 'help' him while screaming for her Mommy-Mimi.
Rodolphus was unconscious; his forehead bled after falling next to a jagged rock. Little Bella revealed a gift while Rodolphus was dying. She sat by him and said, "No, uncle, stay," putting her hands over his head, she added, "Come, don't go." The arriving adults saw her. "Hold my hand," she said, reaching onto the air, and they saw a light stream traveling into Rodolphus' head. Bella kissed his forehead; "Wait, don't go, come." She commanded.
Hermione was already there; she touched his forehead and saw the wound nearly closed. Teddy was also there, crying for his daddy; Bella patted Teddy's hand reassuringly, "No dear, no crying." Teddy often says he will marry Bella; Fenrir believes it will happen.
Rodolphus's eyes opened, looking at little Bella. "She brought me back from wherever I was going. She held my hand. The little dear was full of light, showing me the way." He stood up, picked her up, and kissed her. "Thank you, darling. You are such a good little witch; stay that way." His eyes were moist. He later said she had a clean soul, nothing like her name's sake; he told everyone she was a beacon of light.
Andy broke down and confessed; her father had given Bella to the Dark Lord before Hogwarts. Bella Black was a good little witch until that time. After that revelation, nobody said anything else and accepted Bella. Everyone did but Rabastan. To date, he keeps his distance.
Teddy often says he will marry Bella; Fenrir believes it will happen. "She saved my daddy." He explains.
Fenrir's people are happy with the coming wedding. They love Bella, mostly a little witch but has many wolf traits. Of all the children, Bella has the most nurturing nature. Dora, Teddy, and Bella are inseparable. The homes are Floo connected, which is convenient.
The children sleep in a dormitory next to their parents' rooms; there are beds for Teddy, Fred, Bella, and Dora whenever they stay. Lucius is happy to see the Manor filled with little Malfoys. The children kiss everyone, including the House-elves, who like it. The portraits call them, so they go around kissing the ones they can reach.
'It,' the Presence, seldom leaves; Hermione started calling the entity, 'It,' and the name stuck. 'It' loves the children and has a special attachment to the mother. 'It' spies on the Malfoy's lovemaking, wondering what pleasure is. It has never felt attraction but for her since seeing her for the first time a while ago. It wonders if one day something could happen. For now, it will only watch; time is eternal.
Twenty-four-year-old Draco jokes, "I already have seven children at twenty-four; hard to tell how many more will come. Ten sounds like a good round number; besides, making them is Most enjoyable." He holds Hermione from the back and kisses her head. She can feel his arousal; Draco is madly in love with his wife.
Hermione frowns, "We have a handful for now; we are young and have time. Right now, we must get going." Today they are going shopping for children's clothes. They need attire for the wedding and the birthday. People are uneasy when they see them, but nobody dares to ask. The Lestrange, Bella's mother, and Fenrir accompany them since they have ten children. The Lestrange twins stayed home with the grandparents.
Molly and Ron also come along, considering they have appointments at several shops. Lucius likes modified Muggle cars to go to places. He doesn't like the common Floo with the children; the risks are too many. The Lestrange and Fenrir agree, so Arthur and his family now modify Muggle cars for the very rich; the poverty times are long gone between the cars and Molly's salary.
Hermione walks, flanked by her wizards. Some people make faces but hope none of the Dark Wizards see them. Some call her the Dark Queen, the traitor, and other pejoratives, none too nice. Draco will soon find out, and it will be unpleasant. They meet with little Fred's birth mother at the new children's shop. It seems casual, but it isn't.
Ron worries when he sees her and looks at Molly, who shakes her head. A mistake to stay put because the witch goes straight for little Fred, hiding her hand. Ron holds Fred's hand tightly after he sees she has her wand, "Hello," he lowers his voice, but Fenrir hears it.
"I hope you won't do anything crazy. Leave my son alone; I mean it." Ron bares his teeth; he is a warrior, after all. Molly is already moving to take Fred.
Hermione is aware, realizing she must be Fred's birth mother. Her heart is aching, thinking, what if the witch claims her son. Fenrir is by Fred in the blink of an eye. Hermione is one step behind, pulling away from Lucius.
"Young Miss, I think…" before Fenrir can say anything, the witch fires an unknown hex to make Ron release Fred's hand. The witch isn't alone; at least five wizards accompany her. It all happens at once.
"Give me my son, you thief." Her voice sounds nasty.
She tries to grab Fred's hand, who is scared, unsure; his injured daddy lays on the floor. Fred is crying, calling the witch a naughty witch. Draco jumps in between the witch and Fred. "Leave now, and never, ever, come around again." Fenrir is growling; the children are crying. Hermione is holding Fred.
The witch calls them awful names, saying they are the new Dark Lords and everyone knows it, and much more. The kids are scared and crying; this is the first time around angry people—the wizards with her start firing hexes until the attack stops suddenly. The attackers vanish, and the witch and the wizards find themselves on the street. Harry is coming to meet the shoppers when he hears in his head, "Stop them," and at once, he 'sees' what happened. He pulls out his wand and puts them in restraining nets to imprison them.
When Lucius walks out, "Harry, don't do it. She will not get a second chance; let them go." He doesn't want a scandal.
Harry is angry, "Why let them go? What if something happened to Dora or Hermione?" He is reluctant to let them go; he stares at his former Hogwarts crush, contempt pouring out his eyes.
A crowd is gathering when a strong, powerful freezing wind disperses the crowd. Lucius knows who did it. Harry and Lucius see when the witch looks at her hand, staring at a bracelet. From now on, she will never try again. A voice warns her, telling her she will die if she tries again, and she feels a hand squeeze her heart and thinks she is dying.
Meanwhile, the day is almost ruined, though Ron is better since it was only a stunning hex, making him feel as if he is burning alive. Little Fred and Bella go to his daddy; Bella and Fred cover Ron with noisy kisses. The other children stand watching, still afraid. Ron later says Bella's kisses healed him, feeling a wave of cooling water on his burning body.
"Let's get ice cream to make to make uncle Ron better." Little Severus recommends. He might be the voice of reason, but he is clever, loves ice cream, and is a little wizard seizing a chance for his favorite dessert.
The adults agree, but from this day on, they will be alert. At Fortescue, Ron tells them they never made the adoption leg; she didn't sign a contract or make an unbreakable. Lucius tells him, "I will contact my solicitor. He can come, and we will tell him to make it legal. Don't worry, if necessary I will say that I am the father."
Ginny overhears; she was at the shop with her fiancé, "If you wish, we can say he is my child. Remember, his core is Weasley and the other. Fred is ours." Ron hugs her; the idea of losing Fred makes him want to kill Fred's birth mother.
As for Hermione, she doesn't feel good. Her body feels cold, and she has nasty cramps. She saw one of the hexes passing near her, but it must be nothing other than she is upset; she keeps telling herself. But the truth is that she was holding Fred and doesn't know whether or not she was hexed or what happened.
By the time they go home, Hermione feels awful, like she is fading out. They are getting out of the car when Lucius sees her face and stops her from falling when she faints. The kids don't know what is happening because they are in another car. Lucius and Draco walk fast, knowing Apparating is not a good idea.
They can hear voices and eerie sounds, some sound like cries. They walk into the house but find themselves in a strange place. There is no ground; it is grey under them. A couple of small and furry green somethings stand by them, and one levitates to look at Hermione, whimpering. It comes by her face and licks her.
"Where are we?" Both wizards ask.
a/n one more after this.
