Chapter 29

FSTBN (Finally Starting To Be Normal.)

Hannah POV

Flashback

the first thing Draco did after we left Hogwarts after the battle was take me to Grimmauld Place to fix me completely. He fussed over me, still looking over the stab wounds inflicted on me.

"Draco, I'm fine!" I whined. "Pomfrey saved my life!"

"I'm not taking any chances." Draco told me, putting me in Regulus Black's bed and taking my shirt off.

The stab wounds were slowly healing, now little less than scabs became of what were once wounds that would have taken me to my grave.

It barely hurt to move. A minor muscle ache was all that was left of the once blinding pain of what would have murdered me.

Draco had taken the Dittany and was rubbing it into where the wounds were, numbing the pain.

I sighed, letting myself sink into the pillow for the first time after I defeated Voldemort.

My body was leaden, every limb aching and sore. It was just like after the Battle of Hogwarts when Scarlett stabbed me almost to death.

I knew instantly when I started to come around that I wasn't dead. If I was dead I'd be numb, incapable of feeling pain. Every part of my body felt as if it just went through endless rounds of sex…in the heart of hell. Every part of my body felt like it was on fire.

"I told you everything that happened!" Draco growled. "The nut fucking shocked her and all but burned her alive!"

I would have sighed in relief if I had the strength. Draco was safe. He was alive.

"She deserved it, getting you kidnapped, Dracy." Mel muttered.

"Melody Anne!" Narcissa hissed. "No one deserves to be tortured like Hannah was…"

"She'd help herself if she stopped looking for trouble for two minutes!" Harry added.

I stirred. "I don't go looking for trouble, trouble comes looking for me." I mumbled.

I heard both my brother and Draco sigh in relief.

"Welcome back, Princess." the boys said together.

"Why can't you just stay dead?" Mel asked with a huff.

"Mel!" everyone shouted together.

"I'm the Girl Who Lived…" I smirked, sitting up (with a little help from my brother.) "if I died the name would be rather redundant, n'est ce pas?"

Draco rolled his eyes. "Classic Potter line." he muttered with a chuckle.

"Shut up, Malfoy." Harry muttered.

"Harry!" I pouted. "You're impossible."

"So are you." Harry told me.

"Hey, she comes around after three days of being unaware, you're going to be nice." Draco told my brother, almost snarling with over protectiveness.

"Yes, Daddy." I teased.

"You shut up." Draco told me.

I grinned. "Love you, too." I laughed as Narcissa stood up.

"I'd best head back to the Manor, Draco." Narcissa gave Draco a hug. "You, Hannah, you get some rest. I hear you've been out of bed before you've been given permission and I don't know what I'll do."

I grinned. "Please, Narcissa, I'm an angel." I said with a grin, taking every effort I had not to roll my eyes.

"Little devil, more like." Harry muttered.

"I HEARD THAT!" Draco and Narcissa shouted together, Draco punching Harry in the stomach.

Harry grunted and stood up. "Your bodyguard is too damned protective!" Harry told me before leaving.

Narcissa rolled her eyes and kissed my forehead. "I mean it, young lady. I expect to see you rested at your graduation."

I nodded. "Yes, Narcissa." I said. Thank God all this happened after I wrote exams.

Narcissa grinned and followed Harry out the door.

I wanted to cuddle. I looked up at Draco with hopeful eyes.

Draco smirked at me. "You honestly expect me to cuddle you after you almost killed me?" he asked.

I shook my head, now upset.

Draco laughed and laid with me, wrapping an arm around my waist. "I was just kidding, Hannah." Draco muttered, kissing my forehead.

I looked up and hoped for a kiss.

Draco smirked down at me and rewarded me.

I sighed, resting my head on his shoulder. "Can I know where you're taking me now?" I whined.

"Let me think…are we married yet?" Draco asked me.

I pouted. "No…" I grumbled.

"Then am I gonna tell you where I'm taking you on our honeymoon?" Draco asked me.

I huffed. "No…"

Draco smirked and kissed me. "And don't you forget it, love." Draco told me. "Take a nap."

"I don't wanna." I whined.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Hannah, if you don't go to sleep, you won't be able to go out with your friends for a second take at your bridal party."

I sighed, giving up. "Fine, fine, fine, I'll nap." I pouted. "You're a meanie."

Draco smirked. "Been one forever, love." he muttered before starting to rock me, singing my lullaby.

I grinned, snuggling into Draco's side and closing my eyes, letting myself go back to sleep.

That night, after taking a few Potions to kill the final shocks of pain, I was down in Nightshade's tree with my bridesmaids, downing shots with my girlfriends.

"It's hard to believe we're so close to watching you get married, Princess." Ivy told me with a smirk.

"I know." I giggled, going pink. "I'm so excited."

"I hope you are." Ivy told me. "Because Blaise is literally counting down to when him and I'll be helping you and Fat-Head out before you get to the altar."

I nodded with a giggle. "I'm excited!" I said again.

"Obviously." my girls said together.

"I was waiting for this moment." Rose and Pansy grinned.

"I was waiting for when Draco was gonna get a move on. Instead of dating Pug-breath over here." Rose giggled, ruffling Pansy's hair.

"Shut up, Yaxley." Pansy muttered.

"Hey, hey, we get it." I told her. "Pansy dated Draco in second third, fourth year." I said. "Let it go, the past is the past."

Pansy grinned and wrapped an arm around me. "Obviously." she said. "So…how're you doing after what happened?"

I grinned. "Never better." I said with a sigh. "Just…confused."

"How so?" Sheila asked.

I swallowed. "Laventhorpe…she told me that the Ravencrofts and I were related. Andromache married an Evans and I'm certain that it was in my mother's side of the family. They also told me that my dad's parents were still alive."

The girls looked at me, obviously shocked at what just came out of my mouth. "You have family!?" she asked.

I shrugged. "I guess I do." I said, looking through the window into the moonlight.

"What do you want to do about this?" Rose asked. "They did let you stay with an abusive uncle."

I looked to my girls and took a drink of vodka. "I want to meet my family. I want to get to know my family, not just Draco's. I want my side of the ceremony to be filled with my family, my friends…everyone I love."

Rose nodded and my friends clapped my back. "I know, Han. It's tough to assume you're an orphan and then find out when you're eighteen you have family."

I nodded, swallowing. "Yeah. Yeah, I know." I said.

Sheila clapped my shoulder and Ivy hugged me. "Come on, Han. This is your night."

I turned around and grinned. "Yeah. What am I thinking? I'm not gonna deal with this at the moment, put a damper on the party. What sort of bride would I be if I did that?"

Ivy laughed and handed me a box. "I didn't know what to get you, so…"

I blushed and took the box. "Oh, wow!" I said enthusiastically, finding a…marital aid. "Ha-ha, very funny." I said, holding up the marital aid after the girls (bar Ivy) burst into fits of giggles. "Grow up, you guys."

"I thought bridal showers were to prepare the bride for the house, Duff." Pansy giggled.

"First off, Pansy, my last name is Zabini, look at the wedding ring!" Ivy snapped at Pansy, holding up her left hand. "And second off, Hannah already has everything for the Manor, I had nothing else on hand."

Everyone giggled some more.

"Oh, grow up!" I said again.

Everyone shut up, snickering a little bit as I hugged my best friend and matron of honour.

"Maid's turn!" Rose giggled, handing me a small box. "Since I love you."

I took the box and opened it, screaming when I saw what was in it.

Inside was two plane tickets to Kitchener and two tickets to a Rangers game.

"ROSE!" I screamed, throwing my arms around her. "You're amazing!"

Rose smirked. "I know."

Draco's POV

Blaise threw an arm around me. "Ok, Fat-Head…"

"What is it with everyone and calling me Fat-Head?" I asked, shaking my head.

"Because we like to call you Fat-Head." Blaise smirked and handed me a box. "A little something to help with the bedroom."

I took the box and opened it. Inside was a book of sex, S&M along with a whip.

I rolled my eyes and threw an arm around Blaise. "You are a sick twisted git." I teased. "I love you for that."

Blaise just smirked. "I know I am." he smirked.

I rolled my eyes and clapped him around the back as Crabbe and Goyle let a belch rip, grabbing chicken wings.

"You guys are fucked." I told them.

"Hey, we're hungry!" Crabbe and Goyle said together.

"Besides, this is your last chance to pig out before everything in your life becomes girly as fucked!" Crabbe said.

"Hey!" Goyle and I said together.

"Hannah, even now, is one of the boys." I said with a smirk.

"You sleep with a tomboy?" Crabbe asked.

"Fuck off!" I told him. "She's all woman…but has the mannerisms of one of us guys."

"Belching -" Blaise started.

"Arm wrestling -" Goyle added.

"Broom riding -" Blake smirked.

"Snake Faced Little Shit killing -" Diamond grinned.

"TOMBOY!" Everyone shouted together.

Crabbe rolled his eyes and continued to devour chicken wings.

"Still not too late to back out." MacMillan smirked. "Head for the mountains."

I smacked MacMillan across the head. "NEVER!" I growled. "I love that woman!"

"The woman who almost got you killed." Crabbe pointed out.

"Deadly connection, Malfoy." Davids added.

"Shut up!" I growled. "How'd I rope you lot into being groomsmen?"

The boys laughed. "Malfoy, you know we love Han. We're just funning with you."

"Yeah. She's the master of ass kicking!" Crabbe said.

"She destroyed the Dark Lord." Blake added.

"And she'll be able to keep you in line." Goyle smirked.

"Exactly. He puts a toe out of line and Hannah will kick him in the head!" Blaise smirked.

"You all just said she was the master of ass kicking!" I told everyone.

"EXACTLY!" everyone said together, roaring with laughter.

"Your head's in your ass!" Goyle laughed.

"Fuck you guys." I said.

"No thanks, that's your wife's job." Blaise smirked.

"Fuck you." I said again.

I got back to the Heads dorm to find Hannah on the couch watching the fire, curled up into a blanket.

I instantly knew something was on her mind. She was fiddling the guitar pick around her neck, squeezing it between her fingers as her face was clouded over in thought.

I stood over her, watching her stare off into space

"Penny for your thoughts." I told her.

She jolted out of her trance. "Huh, what?" she muttered.

I knew instantly that something was really bugging her. Sort of like our first Halloween, when she was in the common room, still grieving over her parents.

Flashback

It was just after Hannah had come back from saving Granger from that mountain troll, everyone had gone to bed after finishing the Halloween feast. Well…everyone but Hannah.

Hannah was seated in one of the chairs by the fire, fiddling with something around her neck as she stared into the flames.

I looked to the pendant in her hand. It was a silver heart, engraved with onyx. Her eyes were glazed over as if she was seeing into the past.

"Malfoy, coming up to the dorm?" Goyle asked.

"You lot go on ahead." I said, looking to Hannah. "I'll catch up later."

The boys went up to the dorm and I set myself next to Hannah, reading the engraving in the heart:

Don't you dare look out your window, darling, everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on. Hold on to this lullaby even when the music's gone. Gone.

I sat with her. "You know, I heard that if you keep things bottled up for too long, you turn into confetti and blow up."

Hannah jolted out of her trance and looked at me. "Huh?" she asked.

I dropped it, knowing that death and stuff upset her. "What's that?" I asked, nodding to her necklace.

Hannah held the pendant. "It's a pendant my mum gave me." she murmured.

"What's engraved in it?" I asked her.

Hannah looked down at her shoes. "A part of my lullaby from when I was a baby." she mumbled. "My mum used to sing it when I was younger. And when she died…Harry took over." her voice cracked. "She got it from the Hunger Games soundtrack." she told me. "She listened to it with me in the room and I fell asleep after Safe and Sound ended, so that song became my lullaby. Sort of like Rue's Lullaby." she shrugged, voice cracking again.

"Something's bugging you, Han. I can tell." I told her, leaning towards her.

She stayed silent, unable to tell me.

"Hannah, what's wrong." I told her, wrapping a hand in hers. "Everyone's in bed, and I wouldn't tell a soul."

Hannah took a deep breath. "It was ten years ago to the day that Voldem -" she started.

"SHH!" I hissed. "Don't say the damned name!"

That definitely upset her. "Sorry," she choked out. "it was ten years ago to the day that You-Know-Who killed my mum and dad." she said, already crying.

"Hey, hey." I told her, wrapping an arm over her shaking shoulders. "Everything happens for a reason. Your parents died to save you. That was ten years ago."

"I know, and time heals all wounds, but -" Hannah started.

"Han, listen to me!" I told her, gripping her shoulders and looking her in the eyes. "Things may be bad, your life might suck worse than anything you've encountered. But…there's always a but with me, Hannah, don't you even start to cut me off. Malfoys don't like to be cut off." I growled when Hannah opened her mouth to say something. "But…you have to keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. Your parents died to let you live. My parents wouldn't do that. Well, my mother would, but my father's a different story. Hannah, trust me." I rubbed her shoulders and wiped her eyes. "This happened to save you. It sucks and I know that even now it hurts, but if it wasn't for their sacrifice you wouldn't be here. You were meant to be here. You were meant to change the world."

Hannah looked up at me, giving me a nervous smile.

I grinned. "There's the smile." I said, letting her go and starting towards my dorm.

"Draco!" Hannah called behind me.

"Yes?" I asked, turning around before she took me by surprise.

Hannah ran over and threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly with a grin.

"Thanks." she said with a grin. "For someone who my brother calls 'a rat faced git,' you know just what to say."

I grinned and hugged her back. "Remind me to get your brother for the rat faced git thing." I told her, making her giggle.

"I'm not in this." she told me. "Yours and my brother's hatred for each other is not my business."

I smirked. "It might be. Someday." I laughed, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "On that note, I'm going to bed."

Hannah grinned and hopped onto the table to press a kiss to my cheek. "Night." she said before scurrying up to her dorm, giggling.

I blushed and went up to my own dorm.

I sat down with Hannah now. "Something's on your mind, Hannah. I can tell." I told her.

Hannah looked at me, pursing her lips. "I still have family living in Canada and England." she told me.

My jaw just about dropped. "You still have family!?" I shouted.

Hannah nodded. "Both grandparents are still alive, I have aunts, uncles, cousins, I don't even know now." Hannah told me. "There's one thing I want, but it's pretty bold."

"Anything. I'll make sure of it." I promised her, taking her hand.

Hannah blushed and looked at me. "I want to meet them."
