Narcissa sat in a lounge chair in the Malfoy manor library thumbing threw a photo album she smiled as she fell on pictures of her, Lucius and Draco smiling at the camera. It was when Draco was first born her husband more understanding towards her and the Dark Lord was gone. 'I miss those days' she wiped a tear away. She got up and put the album away back where it belonged and decided to look for this husband of hers of course, he was in his office. She knocked as she came into the room he nodded for her to take a seat. He was shuffling threw papers trying to organize them and sort some out. Narcissa just watched her husband with a half smile on her face he glance up and threw her a half smile as well.
"What brings you here?" he decided to acknowledge her.
"Just to talk" She waited for him to wave her on "I miss the old us Lucius…when the Dark Lord disappeared and Draco was born. We were so happy" She pulled out the picture she looked at in the library and laid it on top of his papers. He lifted it up and tried not to smile and let out a sigh.
"It's not that easy Narcissa the Dark Lord needs Draco more then ever-"
"Why does everything have to begin and end with the Dark Lord! We were happy when he fell" Narcissa interrupted "Why must we still serve him!"
"Listen Narcissa I miss the old days too…Do you think I like treating you the way I do. Do you think I like him using our son? No, but we must do something in order to survive and have our name be feared!"
Narcissa just let the tears fall freely down her face while Lucius sat there and stared at his beautiful wife. Yes they were arranged by their parents, but they did happen to find love between them. He closed his eyes as he began to relive a memory.
"Narcissa you look beautiful!" Lucius smiled as he took his wife into his arms "I hope nothing ever comes between us."
"Just keep spoiling me like you do and I'll have no complaint" She laughed "I love you…"
"And I love you" He placed a kiss on her forehead as they sat in their living room.
"Lucius..." She looked up at him.
"Yes love," He looked down at her.
"I'm pregnant…" Lucius sat there in silent until the words now became clear to him.
"With a child…with my baby?!" he started freaking out.
"No I'm pregnant with a hippogriff yes I'm pregnant with your child!" She laughed as she watched his expression. He then lifted her up into his arms and started kissing her all over her face. The Dark Lord was still strong at this time, but wasn't really focused on his Deatheaters he had a certain prophesy to attend to. He set his wife back on the couch and knelt down near her stomach and lifted up her shirt and started talking to the lump.
"This is your daddy and you will once be a spoiled little-" he looked up at her.
"Boy" She finished as he began to kiss her all over her face again.
"You blessed me with an heir! I love you not because of that, but I truly need to thank my parents for forcing us together!" she started to laugh as she tried to get him to stop kissing her. Lucius knelt back down and just kissed her stomach.
"I'm two months along…the medi-witch told me it was a boy…oh Lucius…" She started to cry and he looked at her, getting concerned he got up and pulled her into his arms.
"Are these happy tears" he hoped.
"The Dark Lord" she looked up at him with concern in her eyes "What will he think…."
"I don't know" he pulled her back in and rested his chin on top of her head "I promise nothing will ever harm our son…"
"Out of all the promises ever made between us…keep that one." She stared into his eyes not blinking once until she got a precise answer out of him.
"Promise" he lifted her chin up and kissed her.
Lucius opened his eyes as his memory faded away he stared up at his wife and got up and pulled her to her feet and led her to his couch. He did something that shocked her he had wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm a fuck up aren't I?" he looked down at her as she started to smile.
"Just a little bit" they both laughed it's been forever since they both laughed and to them it relieved a lot. He then began thinking of Draco and Jessica Sinclair.
"You know I did have a little crush on Sinclair…"
"Yeah I know you did. You teased her about being a mud blood just like Draco did with Hermione. It's just I got you instead of her and Draco never listened to his Father."
"What he thinks I'm okay with their relationship..."
"I told him Lucius…" she closed her eyes waiting for him to yell to her surprise again he had not.
"I already knew you would've" he rested his head on the back of the couch. Letting his thoughts run a muck inside his mind. Lucius was getting bored with serving the Dark Lord and plus he's been so focused on Severus Snape more then ever wanting to know what his Harry Potters been up too and what not. Lucius then started to realize he had no life it was being run by another person who didn't give a damn whether or not the Malfoy name was cherished or destroyed as long as he got what he wanted.
"Lucius…" he all of a sudden felt like he was reliving a memory.
"Yeah."
"I'm having a girl this time…" he smiled.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Draco was sitting on the back porch watching the wave's crash up against the sand. It was very peaceful watching the sunrise. He had woken up early for it was New Years Eve. It was a couple days after the Carnival incident with Blaise and Ginny and they both had agreed to call it quits it was more of a mutual agreement, but Draco knew deep down inside it was because his friend was to afraid to fall in love. The meeting they were called to join was just for them to pick up their tasks, Draco knew what he had to do which he had already accomplished and as for Blaise he had no clue what his was, for they had went straight to bed without even talking that night. Draco started thinking about his tasks and couldn't help, but feel guilty. It was to get closer to the Gryffindor trio and gain their trust. He threw his head into his hands and began messaging his temples he could feel a headache coming on. He then remembered he had not seen his father at that meeting at all 'I wonder if he's still mourning Sinclair's death.' he scoffed. He turned as he heard the backdoor open and close it was Blaise.
"Hey mind if I join you."
"No."
Blaise sat down on the step below Draco and stared into the distance as well. They sat in silence for a while until they heard a hoot and looked up to see Harry's owl Hedwig fly into the boy's window.
"I guess Harry finally wrote Ron back" Blaise decided to get a conversation going.
"Yeah I guess so."
He then turned around and looked at his best mate "Are you mad at me too for breaking things off with Ginny?"
Draco took a deep breath "No Blaise. I'm just thinking of my task…" Blaise waved for him to go on "It was to get the Trio to trust me…"
"So…that was easy mine was to make sure you don't fail…" He then threw a concerned look on his face "Why was it that easy?"
"It's not…I can't give them up when the time is right for the Dark Lord to find Potter. Hermione would be so devastated, she would never forgive me…let alone love me." He looked at his hands just then the back door swung open and closed then all of a sudden a pair of arms encircled around Draco's shoulders and a kissed was placed on his cheek.
"Morning." he smiled as she sat beside him.
"Morning…why are you up so early?"
"Me? Up early…Draco you woke up before me" he pulled her closer to him and held her tight "I love the beach."
"I do too."
"I'll leave you guys alone." Just as Blaise was about to leave the door swung open and hit him straight in the nose, he doubled over and started clutching his nose "Fuck!" he fell over then looked a the person who caused him this pain.
"Oh I'm so- oh it's you" Ginny was about to apologize, but realized it was Blaise. She didn't want to leave him there so she held out her hand and helped him up. "Ron wants all of us because he's about to open the letter from Harry and he want us to be there." Ginny turned and led the way into the living room with Hermione, Draco, and a hurt Blaise in toe. Ron sat on the couch and Hermione sat next to him as he began to read the letter out loud.
Hey everyone!
It's your pal Harry I hope none of you have forgotten me since you all are probably having a blast with out me! Hawaii is GREAT! Once I got her I got laid
Ron's mouthed dropped and Hermione had to explain getting laid was having a wreath of flowers put around your neck, but his reaction was still priceless. He continued reading.
No… Ron it's not what you think…I bet Hermione already explained it to you. They laughed. Lavender and I are now dating this trip really made us get to know one another…real well. I could almost say I love the girl. I hope all is well with you couples over at the Grangers. Malfoy and Zabini if you have ever break any of their hearts we'll break your neck!
Ginny scoffed at that comment causing Blaise to look at the floor and Ron stared at him. Hermione took the letter and finished.
Well since its New Years Eve were about to go to a bon fire so I guess I'll see you all at King's cross tomorrow!
Happy New Years,
Harry
As Hermione finished the letter things in the room seemed to be tense until Pansy showed up in her bathing suit.
"Tanning anyone?" She smiled.
Hermione and Ginny smiled as they ran upstairs to get their bathing suits on and decided to join Pansy. Ron on the other hand felt awkward between Draco and Blaise. He knew they were best mates and he was stuck there being the only Gryffindor and to his dismay decided to follow his girlfriend out to the beach as well. Blaise rested his head back against the couch.
"I hate my life I feel like such-"
"An asshole."
"Yeah." he took a deep breath in and nodded at Mr. Granger who had walked into the room.
"You boys want to help me marinate the meat and set up for the barbeque?" the boys looked at him with a confused look "You know marinate…Barbeque…you have no clue what I'm talking about" the boys shook their heads "…hmmmm I see…Well I will show you" He motioned for the boys to follow. He led them into the garage and instructed them to take the grill to the back porch and then to see Mrs. Granger in the kitchen for the meats. When they were done setting up the grill they headed to the kitchen where she was already preparing a cooking everything she smiled once she saw Draco come into the room.
"Draco!" She hugged him and nodded towards Blaise "What happened to your nose?"
"Oh ran into the door" he laughed.
"Oh wow…" She walked over the fridge and opened the door "Well boys the meat is in there take everything…Blaise you can grab the seasoning and stuff over there" She pointed to a cabinet. Draco looked at the meat disgusted he had never done work like this before 'This is for house elves' he looked at Blaise who was thinking the same thing, but he knew he had to make an impression on his girlfriends parents so he decided not to complain and do the task at hand. It was nearly noon when they set the tables Draco and Blaise had to be instructed to do this as well, but Draco had enough and pulled out his wand, with a flick the table was set. Blaise laughed as he looked at Draco's tired expression. He then leaned on the railing looking out at the people laughing on the beach, when his eyes fell on a red head trying to get out of her brothers grip he couldn't help, but feel sad. Draco watched where Blaise's gaze was and noticed Ron picking his sister up and throwing her into the water, he laughed as he made his way to lean next to Blaise.
"You miss her."
"More then anything…"
"You need to talk to her."
"Not now I need to clear shit up first. You should too Draco…" he then poked at his mark and Draco swatted at him.
"I will! Damn what do you want me to say...? 'Oh Hermione Happy New Years by the way I'm a Death Eater!' how about not!" he said sarcastically.
"Life's complicated…" Blaise sighed and nodded at a black owl approaching them.
"Great! It's Father's owl" Draco drawled he reached out and took the letter.
Draco,
Before you return to King's Cross I need to speak with you at the Manor.
Father
He folded it up and threw it into the garbage next to the grill. He then started going down the stairs and made his way to the beach. As he got closer he started taking off his shirt, he spotted where Hermione was and started running into the water and went underwater occasionally surfacing to make sure Hermione still had her back to him. When he emerged again was he was standing right behind her and received smiles from Ron, Pansy and Ginny. Hermione stared at her friends with there odd smiles on their face.
"What?" She started to turn around and that's when Draco had lifted her up and threw her. They all roared with laughter as she emerged with a shocked face on "DRACO MALFOY! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!" She started to run after him, but of course he was faster.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Blaise sat there on the beach and watched as Ginny emerged from the water and he knew she was having a battle inside her to see whether or not she should sit next to him.
"Just sit by me Gin." He smiled and she just stared, but decided to sit down next to him anyway. He stole glances at her and sighed. 'I need to tell her now' he took another breath and then he placed a hand on her thigh she gave him a confused and pissed of look, but he just continued.
"Listen Ginny…I did what I did back at the fair, because…well" he looked at Draco and Hermione who were kissing in the water and they looked so much in love and he wanted that "I was scared…for I've never been in love before."
"What…" She looked shocked and didn't quite understand, but she did hear the word love in it.
"Sorry I'll say it more clearly. I love you Ginny Weasley more then anything in this whole entire world and I am so sorry that I ever hurt you by snogging with that slut Megan. I had no clue what I was doing and …and…I'm a Deatheater" She then cupped his face in her hands and placed a hard kiss on his lips. He returned the kiss and pulled her closer to him they started leaning back and just started snogging like crazy rolling around in the sand and then when Ginny was on top she pulled away and sat up.
"You're a Deatheater?" She was now thinking of the words now.
"Yeah I told you that and you started kissing me…I guess it turned you on" He said sarcastically since he was now getting nervous.
"Since when…"
"Well for awhile now…that's why I was absent for so long at the beginning of the school year" He swallowed hard hoping she wouldn't leave him for good now, when she didn't say anything else he started to panic he moved a piece of her hair out of her vision "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner it's just…how am I suppose to tell you something like that?"
"What about Draco?" was all she could say as she stared into his eyes.
"It's not my business to tell his …" he didn't meet her eyes.
"You know Hermione's going to flip out when she finds out…"
"Yeah I know that's why I keep telling hi-" he stopped mid sentenced 'SHIT!' he thought as she just realized he just told his best friends business. "Ginny please don't say anything!"
"I won't…" She stared at the Hermione who was sitting on Draco's shoulders and Pansy on Ron's they were trying to knock one another off "But he needs to tell her…soon."
"So what about us…and the situation at hand" he didn't want to ask the question, but he wanted to know.
"I'm mad that you didn't tell me to begin with and I'm not happy at all about you being a…a…Deatheater" she spitted the disgusted word out "And I sure as hell hope you don't think I'm going to support you, but I'll try to understand since…" she took a deep breath "I love you."
Blaise was looking sad as she talked, but once she said this he looked up and started kissing her all over her face "Ginny your defiantly the girl for me!" she laughed as he did this, but their little loving session was interrupted by a scream. They both looked up and saw Draco holding Hermione as a bride in his arms and Ron and Pansy emerging along with them. Hermione looked like she was in pain and kept trying to touch her leg. Draco came up and told Ginny to make room on the towel for Hermione as he sat her down.
"What the hell happened?" Blaise asked as he got up.
"I don't know… she started screaming and clutching her leg and begging me to lift her up and take her out of the water" Draco sat next to Hermione and put a hand on her back "What happened?"
"Fucking Jelly fish is what happened" she started to stare at her leg that was now turning red "Man…Now I need someone to pee on me." She pouted and that's when everyone started laughing at her for they too have heard about the whole peeing on the spot where it was stung.
"Well Mate since you're her boyfriend I guess you'll do the honors" Ron clapped Draco on the back and Draco laughed.
"If you want I'll do it." He couldn't stop until Hermione smacked him on the head.
"Shut up Malfoy…I'm not letting anyone pee on me" Hermione was looking around at everyone "I just need to take a shower." She held out her hands for someone to help her up and Blaise did then he helped Draco up. Everyone started towards the showers and was now sitting in the living room watching T.V until the door rang.
"Hermione answer the door the family must be here now!" roared Mrs. Granger from the kitchen.
Hermione who was laying on Draco got up and answered the door, but before she even said a word a brunette and a blonde pushed passed her and took the empty spot next to Draco. Hermione rolled her eyes as she greeted her aunt and uncle.
"Aunt Jen! Uncle Clint! Please come in I want you to meet my friends!" Hermione led her aunts and uncle into the living room and introduced her to all her friends one by one. When she introduce Draco he was the only one who jumped up and shook their hands.
"I'm Draco pleasure to meet you" He said as he shook the blonde man's hand and brunette women's hand "I'm Hermione's boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? It's a pleasure" Came Aunt Jen and Uncle Clint they chatted for a bit and the grown ups excused themselves to find Hermione's parents. Hermione watched their retreating figures and turned back around to face her two cousins, but Naudia was on her cell phone so she turned to Megan.
"Mind if I take my seat back?"
"Yeah as a matter of fact I do" Megan laid back and crossed her legs and smirked at Hermione.
Hermione rolled her eyes and went over and sat on Draco's lap. Draco was surprised, but didn't argue he then glanced over at Ginny who kept throwing daggers into Megan's eyes as she looked over at Blaise.
"So Blaise how have you been?"
"Can you shut up I'm trying to watch this movie" Pansy smirked who sharing a recliner with Ron. Megan however didn't.
"Well I had fun at the Carnival…"
Pansy then stood up in front of Megan "I said shut the fuck up so I can watch the movie or are you still too drunk to comprehend?" she then threw her Slytherin smirk at the girl who turned and faced her sister.
"Yeah okay you're here now?" Naudia said to her cell phone as she hung up and stood up just then the door bell rang and Hermione was about to get up and answer, but Megan was already at the door "Don't worry it's my boy toy…" She opened the door and a black haired boy with hazel eyes walked in. He was very tan since you could tell he was a surfer. He was wearing a pair of O'Neil dark blue swimming trunks with a plain white T "You remember Blair…right Hermione?"
Hermione's mouth dropped and the rest of her friends noticed this. Draco sized up the boy and then noticed Hermione's reaction was well he had to move a little to make sure she still realized he was under her that's when she shook her head and spoke up. "Hey Blair…"
"Hey beautiful" He made his way towards her and pulled her off of Draco's lap and into a hug. Draco on the other hand didn't like the scene in font of him and he too stood up beside Hermione.
"I'm Draco" He pulled out his hand "Hermione's boyfriend." Blair looked at it disgusted, he didn't like the vibe he was getting from this boyfriend of Hermione's, but then again he acted exactly like Draco at Hogwarts thinking he was the shit and no one could compare to him. He shook his hand and nodded towards her friends.
"I'm Blair…Hermione's ex."
