Chapter 24: Malfoy pink

Harry and Viktor were totally oblivious to the meddling of their friends, to bring the two together in time for the ball. They didn't care about the age difference or for now that they usually lived in other countries, they were a cute couple. Draco knew the twins hated the age limit as they had wanted to enter, but Draco thought it was good. He not only wondered how younger kids would fair against older ones, but about Harry as well. It would not have been good for them if Harry and Viktor were competing, and there was no doubt Viktor would be in the tournament. The others had been brought to help train and support him, none of his classmates thought they had a chance.

Harry and his friends had watched those who had entered, and wondered who would be their champion as their school was the one with no obvious choice. The twins kept bragging they had found a way to put their name in, but Harry and Draco were certain they were bragging.

Harry was laughing as Viktor actually looked nervous as the ceremony began. "You know your name will be pulled out. Or are you having cold feet?"

Viktor shook his head."There are a few others who could come out. But Igor will make me walk home if I am not chosen."

Igor was sure his school would win but for that they needed the star of the school, and there was no doubt that was Viktor of course. Viktor was not only the international star but he was also top student in all of his classes, and took OWLS a year early. Harry had no doubt Viktor was not kidding about his headmaster, in the week since they had been in the UK, Igor was one track minded. Harry didn't like the man at all and was reminded he had been a death eater, he avoided prison not as a spy but because he turned evidence. Severus did not like the man being at school and had warned both of his nephews to be careful around him.

Harry was not surprised when the blonde Ron had been drooling over was named for Beauxbautons; she was treated like Viktor by her school. Harry smiled when Viktor's name had been called, worried about him being hurt but happy for him.

Viktor actually hugged him. "Igor actually wanted me to sit with him but I told him you were my good luck."

Harry blushed from the comment. "I knew you would be chosen."

When Viktor went up to the front Harry caught the look on his brother and Blaise, and he turned away from them. He had no idea how Blaise had been dragged into what ever Draco and the twins were plotting at, but he didn't like it at all. He was once again reminded his brother needed to find someone to date, and maybe it would distract him from his meddling. The twins were dating two of the chasers on their team, but the girls seemed to have no problem with the twins and their obsession.

Draco was about to make an excuse for the looks when he noticed. "Look at Moody; he is stopping Albus from putting the chalice away."

Harry looked and saw his brother was right."He seems to have forgotten there are only three schools."

There was actually fire starting to come from it again and Harry was wondering what was happening. His Uncle had sworn the chalice could not be tampered with, but it looked like another name was about to come out. Suddenly the case it had been in had come up and surrounded the cup, and the smoke soon disappeared. He knew his Uncle had done it, he had no wand out but Severus could do wandless magic since he was in school.

There seemed to be a silent debate between the three heads of the schools, Crouch and Moody. Silence spells had been put up but it looked like the two foreign heads were worried there was cheating going on. Harry had no idea why, they had the champions they wanted but Cedric was a shock to most of the school.

Albus finally spoke."The ceremony is concluded, the first task will be at the end of the month. Enjoy the rest of the feast."

Harry turned back to the table but looked to Draco and Blaise."I am telling you there is something wrong with that man."

He had been saying that Moody was all wrong since the start, but even Draco passed it off as the new job. Seeing how he had acted though during this, Draco had a feeling his brother was right about that. It was the last thing they needed with men like Igor around, for the auror assigned to watch them to have gone off his rocker.

Draco led his brother from the hall. "It looks like you will have to wait till tomorrow to kiss him congratulations."

The boys had something more exciting to come first, and even Viktor was taken away from training for it. Unlike with Adrian who was born during Easter, the newest Malfoy was born on a Friday a week after the champions were named. Viktor and her big brothers were excused from their last class of the day and brought home to the manor for the weekend. Igor was not keen on allowing Viktor to leave, but the Krums had come to London this time when the baby was born.

Harry and Draco loved Adrian who was nearly three as they did their two little cousins, but they were excited. Like Severus and Remus were happy for a little girl, Lucius and Sirius were over the moon. They already had three sons one of whom was both of theirs in blood, and ready for pink.

Mrs Krum held her son when they saw him come in. "We are so happy you are a champion. I am happy you came away this weekend though.'

Viktor pointed at the other two."These two promised the headmaster I could use them for target practice."

The school taught the dark arts but the Krums had never been associated and kept their son far from it, his grandfather was killed during Grindewald. They were not happy when Igor had been named headmaster of the school, or the influence he tried to have on Viktor. They were proud he had been named champion though and would be so proud if he won. They had told Igor he was to allow Viktor to come, and he couldn't refuse.

Harry with Adrian in his arms led his way into the bedroom, where their dads and sister were. Harry had been recovering from a dragon attack when Adrian was born and had been home to stay at the manor officially, how times had changed. Now with three sons and a daughter, the Malfoys were complete well until grandchildren.

Draco took his sister into his arms and looked at Harry. "We will have to change your hair coloring."

Harry saw his sister was a female version of Draco and Adrian. "I don't know, it just makes me and dad more special."

Sirius had to assure Harry with Adrian that he was no less a Malfoy because of his looks, but this time it wasn't needed. Severus and Remus had both come with both their kids but since they served for Adrian and each served for one of the older boys they were not chosen. Viktor's parents had been chosen this time around.

Lucius looked at their precious daughter, after so many years their family was complete."And our little princess is Ella Andromeda Malfoy."

AN: The Malfoys needed a girl since Sev has one, I pity her trying to date with her dads and three brothers. Ella is a pet name for Elizabeth, inspired by Elizabeth Bennett in Austin's work of this name, but also like Adrian comes from Roman/British culture for Harry/Lucius. Andromeda for Sirius and Draco, a constellation and in honour of Sirius' cousin/ Draco's maternal Aunt.
