Chapter 35
Harry sat at the kitchen table after saying goodbye to Teddy. While teddy was getting changed Hermione had made her feelings on his dealing with Narcissa Malfoy crystal clear. She had admitted that she did not agree with all of Mrs Weasley's actions over the years, but she was still respectful and agreeable with her. Harry was sure if Teddy had not appeared in the doorway at that moment, she would have started a full-on lecture. He had smiled and waved until Teddy and Rose were safely taken away with green flames. He collapsed into a kitchen chair. He calmed his breathing his anxiety was going through the roof once again.
He pulled the permission form forwards to see Ginny. Draco had told him about everything that happened at the wedding, that she had made plans with Blaise and knew what was happening. She was the one who got Blaise the information to almost kill him and the child he carried. He couldn't say he was happy with the news and was starting to think the same as Draco, she couldn't be trusted, she clearly wasn't getting better and the sooner she gave birth the better for everyone.
He was going to have to confront her and tell her what she had done was not acceptable. She clearly wasn't over him and this crazy jealous ex act was getting old. He thought she sunk the lowest she could when she held a knife to Draco, but she clearly wasn't getting better. He sighed once he signed the visitation form to see her and closed his eyes laying back. He didn't know how to approach the subject when he got there, but he knew this would be his last visit to her before the twins were born.
He wasn't very happy with Draco either. He had many months for Draco to mention he had a baby with the dark lord. He told Harry that Voldemort had taken Draco to his bed on serval occasions but never that he had conceived. He thought he had taken Draco because he was young and beautiful, also he was still punishing Lucius. After his fight with Narcissa he knew there more to it and maybe Draco was too out of it to know too much just what his mother had choose to tell him when he came around.
As if on que there was a cracking sound that echoed around the room alerting Harry to Kreacher appearance. There was a silence, Harry thought he must had been bowing but Harry eyes were still closed, Some of Draco charm must have been wearing off on him. Hermione would have scolded him for not acknowledging the house elf's presence in the kitchen.
The creature spoke,
"kreacher has come to inform master that mistress Malfoy is awake. Kreacher gave Mistress the hangover potion, mistress was grateful. Should Kreacher tell Mistress that Master is ready for her presence master?"
Harry opened his eyes at these words. Kreacher never asked questions just what he was told and nothing more. He must be able to sense the tension or lurking where he could eve drops, not that Narcissa or himself kept their voices quiet. He would not be surprised if they could hear them 3 streets away. He wasn't sure if he was ready to look at Narcissa in the face, but he needed to if he wanted an answer.
He opened his eyes and sat forwards and sighed then replied,
"No I'll take it from here thanks Kreacher."
Kreacher bowed once more before shuffling out the door.
Harry had spent an hour pacing the drawing room considering how he could start a conversation with Narcissa after how they spoke to each other last night. He sighed in resignation. Narcissa was clearly not going to show her face unless Harry asked her, he was going to have to swallow his pride and ask her to join him.
He took a deep breath standing outside her door. He shouldn't be this worried about knocking a door in his own house he thought. He mentally shook himself and took a step closer to the door. His hand tightened around his wand in case she pointed a wand at him. He knocked quietly and waited for the polite as ever 'come in'. He pushed the door open and stood in the doorway. He noticed Narcissa was still in a dressing robe as she stood up from her dressing table and acknowledged his presence in her room,
"Harry, What do I owe the pleasure of your presence?"
She was a little cold towards Harry but he expected nothing less after their dealing with one another last night.
Harry answered,
"I was wondering if I could borrow your owl Mrs Malfoy?"
Narcissa, who like her son never gave away any emotion if she didn't want to. She asked,
"What for? My owl isn't up to long journeys at the moment, her wing is only newly mended."
Harry tried to sound casual without giving it away. He looked at the floor as her answered,
"Just some paperwork that needs delivering to London."
She nodded a little stiffly, Harry strode across the room to take the owl out of her cage. As he reached the door with her barn owl her his arm. He turned and noted,
"You didn't come to breakfast."
She answered not looking at Harry and replied,
"I wasn't hungry."
Harry was unsure if Kreacher had taken Narcissa food in secret. He noded and asked,
"Will you join me for lunch in the drawing room?"
Narcissa eyes flickered around the room, something Draco did when he rather not answer or be somewhere. It was clear she rather face Voldemort than sit at lunch with Harry. She nodded and answered,
"Thank you I will join in the drawing room in an hour."
Harry sat on the sofa near fireplace which had not been lit yet. He sighed and looked away from the fireplace. He wondered if this was the fire Sirius had used or did he use the one in the kitchen once everyone had gone to bed.
He needed answers and the only two people who knew the whole truth was Narcissa and Lucius. Draco's version had too many holes to know the whole truth, two many big holes. Draco either didn't know or was too scared Harry would leave but one person who could have access to tamper with Draco's memory was staying in his house right now. He could really do with Sirius help and guidance.
There was a sound at the door way as Narcissa appeared wearing a dark pink dress to her knee and jacket to catch. Her heels were pink also with a ruffle on the strap. Her blonde hair was tied back in a bun except for a few curls that where around her face. She crossed the room and sat opposite Harry. He noticed her perfect make up and her perfectly manicured nails a she placed her hands gracefully on her lap.
Harry shifted a little in his seat. She dressed to impress daily just like Draco. Draco may have inherited father's looks, but his other characteristics were fully his mother. Harry felt rather under dressed in a loose baggy jumper and tracksuit bottoms(he only wore around the house).
Harry said,
"I'm happy you could join me for Lunch. How is your head? Did the potion help?"
Narcissa took a sip of water out of one of the goblets. Narcissa replied,
"Thank you for asking me to join, I would like to apologise for my actions last night. I acted rationally while I was under the influence of alcohol and would like to apologise. I also would like if we could stop the small talk, I'm sure you have question you like me to answer."
Harry sighed. He did want to stop small talk, he had questions burning in front of him, He asked,
"This isn't Draco first pregnancy."
Narcissa shook her head and answered,
"This is the fourth time Draco had conceived. You are the only other wizard to impregnate him expect for the dark lord. He has slept with several men since then, so we believed the potion stopped working a long time ago."
Harry exclaimed,
"Fourth time?"
Narcissa nodded again. He could tell she did not want give detail but he needed to know,
"Yes the dark lord got him pregnant just before he turned 16 in Easter holidays he miscarriage just before he reached 3 months. He became pregnant December of the same year. He returned home for Easter holidays. The dark lord but him under curico for over an hour, for not making progress on the cabinet. He miscarriage again at 4 months."
Harry took a breath, he didn't realised he had been holding it until now, his knuckles were white he was holding onto the cushion to hard. Narcissa sniffed a little.
Harry was dreading what she tell him next but now he started he needed to gain every little bit of Gryffindor bravery and courage he owned to ask,
"And the third one?"
Narcissa looked into her face and asked,
"If I tell you this, do I have your word that you won't ask me to repeat it again and you won't ask Draco to either?"
Harry took a deep breath and answered his voice didn't sound like his,
"you have my word."
She asked,
"You might want something stronger than water or pumpkin juice. "
Harry shook her head in indication that the pumpkin juice was fine.
She told him,
"When he was 17 the dark lord got Draco to torture some people the snatchers brought by the manor to prove his worth. He did it knowing he would be killed if he didn't. The dark lord agreed he could be moved from his personal whore back to the death eaters ranks. You turned up at the manor and managed to escape again by skin of your teeth. The dark lord turned up seconds later and was furious. He spent hours torturing us as we begged for forgiveness. He turned to Draco and told him he was no death eater and he was back to being his personal whore for not knowing it was you. He stripped him there in front of us and used him, Draco was too weak to fight. At the next death eater meeting as a treat for them we had to watch him rape Draco again, I believe he fucked Draco other times. He discovered he was pregnant 2 days after the battle of Hogwarts. He carried till 6 months. He started bleeding and gave birth. The baby was born dead and Lucius took the baby body away wrapped in a blanket. I didn't even get the see if my first grandchild was a boy or girl. Lucius refused to tell me or Draco what the child looked like or if it was a boy or girl just that the child was dead and buried in an unmarked grave in Malfoy manor ground. Draco was in a fever and almost died from the trauma of the birth."
Harry just noticed he was on his feet. He paced a little and asked,
"Why hasn't Draco told me any of this?"
Narcissa answered quietly.
"Draco doesn't remember everything."
Harry looked questioningly at Narcissa and asked,
"What does that mean?"
Narcissa who was looking at the floor now her eyes full of tears,
"Draco wasn't coping when I took him to France to get away from everting. He was still not coping so I gave him a very strong sleeping dose and removed the memories. I did what was needed of me as a mother."
Harry screamed,
"How could you do this?"
Narcissa stood up herself standing uo straight and looking as proud as ever,
"My child was starving himself and throwing his life away I had to do something. I tried everything and nothing was working so I took drastic action."
Harry answered,
"You have no right to do that he was grieving after the lost of his third baby. You needed to give him time."
Narcissa ariged back,
"I gave him 6 months, he was wasting away I told Lucius we were going to have to take drastic action. He told me he support whatever decision I made. I wasn't about to let me only child who survived give up. So I took the memories that is why he know hardly remember his 6th and 7th year sat Hogwarts. I gave him his memory back of his third child last week, he still doesn't remember the first too. "
Harry answered again,
"You have no idea how frustrating and difficult that is for a person to deal with. I lost half of my memory and still isn't back you had no right to take that away from him without permission. You let the most evil wizard rape time from the age of 15 onwards you said nothing. You didn't try and stop him. You and Lucius were the two people who are meant to protect him and get him ready for adult life, not let people groom him and rape him!"
Narcissa was openly crying now,
"I wanted to stop him and stand up but Bella and Lucius wouldn't allow me to. They told me clear my mind and the revenge would be over in a moment. By the time we redeemed ourselves by letting him use Draco we fucked up in another part of the plan it seemed."
Harry wanted to strangle the life out of her! How could she not stand up and protect Draco?
Harry was trying to remember what Hermione said about trying to get in with his future mother in law but this wasn't something Mrs Weasley would ever do. Harry cleared his throat,
"I don't know if I could ever trust you again around me, Draco or our children. I would like to spend a few days apart to calm down. I'd like you to go to either Malfoy manor or Draco's apartment in Birmingham until Draco returns home at least."
Narcissa opened her mouth to protest but Harry had sprinted out of the room and ran to the bathroom emptying his breakfast left in his stomach into the toilet bowl their lunch being long forgotten.
