Two years later, I find out I am pregnant with another child. Scorpius is either.

One dark, eerie August night, we are sleeping. It is midnight when a chilling feeling creeps over Draco and I in our bed. The full moon appears and vanishes behind constantly moving clouds.

I, for one, am a heavy sleeper. Draco, on the other hand, sleeps lightly. He feels his arm start to sting and immediately sits bolt upright in the bed. The Dark Mark, he notices, is jet black.

"I thought they gave up," he whispers to himself. "We've got to get out of here." Draco starts shaking me awake. I am startled and disgruntled that someone is disturbing me. In addition to disgruntled, I am also caught off guard, causing me to punch Draco in the nose.

"Oh, I'm so-" I gush, realizing what I did.

"Shh!" he interrupts. "Get up, get ready, and get out."

"I don't understand."

"They are coming," he says urgently.

"What?"

"The Death Eaters. They've found us. They're coming."

I immediately snap to attention. "Wait. did you reinforce the protection spells? If you did, we have nothing to worry about."

His eyes grow wide. "Me? I thought you did it tonight!"

"I thought you did!"

"Shit. They're going to get in for sure. You have to get out now." He shoves money and an emergency suitcase full of clothes into my hands. "Now take-"

A loud series of pops interrupt him. Fear enters his icy eyes. "They're here!" He pushes me into Scorpius' room. "Take him and go!" He turns as he hears the door being obliterated by a charm.

I grab Scorpius and turn to Draco. "I love you." A tear rolls down my cheek as I realize what he is going to do. I would normally argue, but I don't have much time and I know his decision wouldn't waver.

"Now is not the time." We hear the pounding footsteps rushing up the stairs.

"Tell me you love me before you die!" I order, choking on the tears.

"I won't die. I promise," he reassures me, looking over his shoulder for intruders.

"Tell me!"

"You already know I love you. Go!"

And that was the last thing I ever heard him say. I take a deep breath and apparate to the fields that are a few miles away. I put Scorpius down and let myself cry. After a good five minutes, a warm hand is placed on my shoulder. "Mom?" he says softly. "Why are you crying?"

I lift my tear-stained face, ashamed in front of my own son. Our eyes look and I instantly see Draco instead. I almost get lost in his identical grey eyes. "You look so much like your father," I sniffle.

"Where's dad? Why are we here?"

I am afraid to tell him the truth, but he deserves to know why his father can never pick him up and hug him again. He needs to know why he'll never be able to hear Draco's voice again. "People," I start, carefully choosing my words, "want you as a leader, but your father and I won't let you. Your father, honey, has stayed behind to tell them no."

"Why can't I lead the people?" he asks. "Are they bad?" he adds in a more hushed tone.

"You know too much for your own good," I say, smiling sadly. "Yes, they are bad."

"Wait, so...dad...?"

"I'm sorry, baby."

Tears silently roll down his cheeks. We stay in the field for a while before I apparate us further away.

Draco's POV

"You know I love you. Go!" I watch her take a deep breath and she disappears with a loud pop.

Just in time. Death Eaters surround me moments after. Two hold me in place and two more search Scorpius' room. I keep my composure.

The two that searched the room come out. "He's gone!"

They all turn to me.

"Hey guys. Nice reunion."

"Hardly." I recognize the cold voice as my father's. "Where is the boy?"

"I don't know."

"I know you know, Draco. Where is the boy?"

"I don't know," I repeat calmly.

"I see we're going to have to do this the hard way." The Death Eaters snicker. "Crucio!"

Oh, the pain. The searing, hot, burning pain! I see the light.

It suddenly lifts and I find myself on the ground.

"Where did the boy go?" father yells at me. I've never seen him so angry. "Answer me!"

"I honestly don't know, father."

"Liar!"

Pain washes over me again, like a giant wave crashing on the shore.

"Please, father, stop! I honestly don't know where they are. Collette took him, that's all I know," I manage through the pain.

He lifts the curse a second time. "You're only trying to protect that girl! Well. you know what to do," he says to the rest of the snickering masked people.
