Draco had just watched Luna leave with Harry and Ginny, with them making plans for him to go to the Potter's the next morning so the both of them could go to Hogwarts and tell his son and her twins the devastating news. He was walking down the hall to find his parents and his daughter so they could get Sabrina home to be fed and put to bed, when he saw his sister-in-law lying on a bed in the room next to the one Luna had been in. She was alone and he felt anger fill him as the thought she had known all along about his wife's affair and hadn't said a damn thing to him or Luna.

Before he could stop himself, Draco was in her room, slamming the door behind him and storming over to the bed.

"Unlike Luna, I don't forgive you." His voice was cold and deadly as Daphne cowered under the covers on her bed. "I will allow you to see Scorpius and Sabrina but it will be at your mother's house under the supervision of my own mother and yours. You are not to take them anywhere or be alone with my children. You lost that right to your niece and nephew the second you knew about Astoria's affair with Rolf Scamander and didn't say a fucking thing to me or Luna."

"Draco, please don't do this! I just lost my sister and husband all in the space of a day! Please don't take my last remaining ties to my baby sister from me!"

Tears were falling down her cheeks as she gave him a look of desperation and grief. Draco didn't feel one ounce of sympathy for her as he watched her.

"You should have damn well thought of that when you realized that Astoria was having an affair and didn't try to warn me. Did either she or Scamander even give a shit about their spouses or their children while they were happily carrying on their affair. I notice that you didn't answer Luna's question earlier, so now you are going to answer it for me. How long was my wife playing me for a bloody fool?"

His Grey eyes had taken on a hard edge as he watched his sister-in-law cringe at every harsh word that was sent her way.

"They have been sleeping together for the last five years when Luna had a miscarriage and wouldn't let Rolf touch her for close to a year after the death of their baby. It was right around time when you and Tori separated for six months after she left Scorpius alone at Diagon Alley that day. It was only because of Neville and Hannah Longbottom that he was found and brought back to Malfoy Manor in one piece. You took custody of Scorpius and threw her out of the house so she ended up living with mom for the same amount of time that Rolf and Luna were having trouble of their own. They met during that time and it originally started out as a casual affair that slowly became more until they had fallen in love with each other. The only reason they each went back to you and Luna was because Rolf and Tori knew that they would lose custody of their children and that was the only thing that kept them apart. Tori even had her doubts about whether or not Bree was yours or not and was planning a muggle DNA test after her birth, Then she realized that there wasn't a need for one. That little girl looked too much like you for her to be anybody else's but yours."

"So now I have to tell Luna that her husband was in love with my wife and that her pregnancy, if her husband would have had his way, was a mistake!" Draco was furious and if somebody hadn't of already killed his wife and her lover, he would do it himself at that moment.

"Luna's pregnant! Oh Merlin! How much more insane can this situation get, Draco?"

"That is no longer your concern, Daphne," He sneered at her. "Stay the hell way from me and Luna Lovegood because if you cause her any stress to where she loses her baby over this nonsense, you will see the old Draco Malfoy come back and he will make you suffer for it."

Draco stormed out of the room and down the hall to where his parents, his mother-in-law and Blaise Zabini were talking. He whispered something in his mother's ear, took Sabrina out of her arms and walked to the area where he could take the floo to his home. He wanted to take his daughter and get as far away from St. Mungo's as he possibly could or he was going to lose it.


A hour later, Draco was sitting at a table in the Leaky Cauldron telling what Daphne had just told him to a very shocked Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Blaise Zabini, whom he had asked to meet him. Because of Ron and Harry being the Auror's in charge of the case and the other being one of his best friends. The other three men sat there wordlessly for a few seconds before Ron gave an example of his famous temper by slamming his fist into the closest wall.

"That bloody bastard! For once I agree with Malfoy, if Rolf Scamander was alive right now, I would personally take great pleasure in beating his sorry ass to a bloody pulp!"

"Ron, calm down. As much as all of us now hate that sorry sack of shit for hurting Luna, the most important thing is finding out who killed him and three other people. Before this psycho kills anybody else."

"Have you figured out why they are leaving pictures of Luna, Hermione and Ginny at the crime scenes?" Blaise asked, trying to change the subject hoping there was more information into who had murdered his wife. Despite the fact that Pansy was an adulterous whore, he had loved her and it was tearing him up inside to know she had been taken from him. He would put aside any feelings of animosity towards Harry Potter and Ron Weasley just as long as the two men found and stopped the monster who had killed his wife.

"No and until Amber gets here and can examine the evidence we have so far, we are, as the Americans say, in a bit of a holding pattern," Harry stated, taking a sip of the butterbeer.

Before Draco or Blaise could respond, Hannah Longbottom came over to them with a compassionate look on her pretty face as she watched Draco and Blaise.

"Neville and I are both so sorry about the loss you have suffered today and if you would pass our regards to Mrs. Nott and Luna, we would appreciate it."

"We will pass that along to them, Hannah. Is Neville planning on being in the room when Draco and Luna arrive to talk to their children seeing as he is Gryffindor's head of house," Harry asked, directing a smirk in Draco's direction, which the other man returned.

"My mother and I still have to hear father bitching and complaining about the fact his grandson was placed into Gryffindor and blames me for letting him watching Muggle television programs and movies."

"Hermione had to stop me from choking when Rosie sent me a letter on the first day of school, telling me that Scorpius was in the same house as she and Al. Although I never thought Luna's two sons would be sorted into any other house but Ravenclaw, either. It just goes to show how clueless I am."

"I see nothing much has changed since Hogwarts, Weasley," Draco said, smirking at the sight of Ron clenching his fists in anger and looking like he was just dying to punch Draco in the face.

"Okay, meeting's over," Harry stated, getting up from the table and putting a restraining arm on his best friend. "I'll see you in the morning, Malfoy when you come to get Luna."

Harry and Ron left the bar, while Hannah and Blaise sent censuring looks in Draco's direction, who was fighting not to smile.

"That wasn't cool, Malfoy. Ron is trying to help you find out who killed your wife and you have to tease him like that. You know he has a temper and yet you take pleasure in pushing his buttons. Grow up, Draco." Hannah stated before she stormed off.

"I was joking, Blaise."

"I know you were but when it comes to you, Ron Weasley can't take a joke and I doubt he ever will. I'm not saying apologize to him because I know that would hurt your Malfoy pride but I am telling you to ease up on the jokes at his expense. He doesn't deserve it and you need to focus on Scorpius and Bree, instead of dwelling on the past. Focus on the here and now and not what happened twenty years ago."

Both men stood up and left The Leaky Cauldron, apparating as soon as they got outside into Diagon Alley.


At a country inn just outside of London, a young maid opens the door to one of the rooms to clean it. When she steps into the room, the young woman lets out a blood curdling scream at the sight of Audrey Weasley, wife of Percy Weasley and Seamus Finnegan's bloodied bodies lying on the mattress, a message written in blood on the wall and the picture the killer had been looking at of Luna lying on the floor.


AN: The killer has now taken the lives of someone close to the Weasley family. How they all react to news of their affair and murder? Will Draco and Ron ever be able to put aside their differences? Not anytime soon if I have my way, their childish reactions to each other will be the comic relief as we get into the rest of the story. Now that Seamus is one of the victims, it will make his cousin, Amber, who we will meet in the next chapter or two, very determined to find the person who is doing this.

At one point I considered having Neville be the killer but I couldn't do that. I am still considering on whether or not to have it be a canon character or bring in an original character who is doing this. I am having a lot of fun throwing a whole lot of twists and turns into this story and it is taking on a life of it's own beyond what I had intended to do with it.
