Welcome back readers! In this chapter you discover what happened to Hermione! Ron lovers should really stop reading. I don't normally hate on Ron but it fit this story a bit more so please enjoy!
~Disclaimer: I own nothing!
"I do wish you would use my name, it's Malfoy" Blaize said rolling his eyes as he sat down
"It is irrelevant. You are Ms. Granger's mate yes?"
"If you wish to be technical about it, Hermione's veela chose me, however, I am claimed by both" Blaize answered
"How do you interact with Scorpius?"
"Let's set this straight right now, I love Scorpius as if he was my son by blood. I interact with him just as Draco does. We have all agreed on how we wished to raise him and any future children we will have. I play with Scorpius, take him to the park, I read him stories, normal things that children do with their parents." Blaize said softly
"Have you discussed how your relationship will affect his up bringing?"
"Scorpius is a carrier of the veela gene. There is a chance, however small, that our situation could happen to Scorpius. I'm not a veela expert but I do know that Scorpius's veela gene, regardless if it stays dormant or not, will guide his relationship choices. Our relationship will not be hidden from Scorpius, he'll know why he has two fathers and one mother. He'll know it all because hiding it from him will hurt him in the long run."
"Have you given any thought on how your choices will affect him when his peers make fun of him at school"
"Ms. Winters. I believe you are out of line in that question. We didn't simply choose it like one chooses what shirt to wear or what to have for dinner. Hermione and Draco carry the veela gene and they will die if we are not together. I don't think you understand the severity of the choice we had to make. Draco didn't make the choice lightly either, his son is important to him and he knows that Scorpius needs him alive." Blaize said angrily "So please do not insult our relation ship again treating it like we simply met up and decided to be in this type of relationship. Scorpius will simply have more people to care for him in our home. more people to rely on and more people to love"
"Mrs. Bouvier" Pansy stalked over and smiled politely
"You are an expert on veela yes"
"Yes, and what Blaize said is true, they do not have the luxury of choosing who they will spend the rest of their lives with like you do" Pansy said her voice professional, leaving no room for arguments
"What bond do veelas have with their children?"
"It is a very protective bond. You will find no better parent than a veela parent in which the veela gene is dominate. Draco will protect and care for his son. Veelas have a bond with their children, and those children have a bond with their parents. It is in the best interest of the child to let them chose who to live with them. Their instincts will guide them to the person who will provide them with the love and care."
"Thank you Mrs. Bouvier, Ms. Granger" Ms. Winters started and Hermione sighed shaking her head at both boys as she stood and sat down.
"Ms. Granger, you are a mother yes"
"I was" Hermione answered
"Was, will you explain"
"It has no relevance to this case"
"But it does, we need to know what type of mother you were, so please tell us about Rose"
"I'm afraid Mrs. Malfoy, that we'll need to hear about Rose, I'm sorry" the judge said, Hermione nodded and took a deep breath.
"I was raped during the war, and in the aftermath discovered that a baby was the result. I was confused and hurt but I was convinced that the right path was to deny I was raped and pretend the child was Ronald Weasley's. He agreed to the plan and his family began planning our wedding. They disregarded all my thoughts and all of my plans of the future. Preferring me to stay locked away at home. I stayed because I had no where else to go, and nine months later I gave birth to a little girl, and named her Rose." Hermione said softly "I loved her, with my entire heart. She was my everything and I would do anything for her. Ron, Ron hated that she wasn't his and tried to get me to get rid of her. I refused and left. My daughter was the only thing I cared about. I moved back in with my parents and found a job. One day I came home to find a ministry letter. Ron was going to take my Rose away from me"
"So you lost custody to Mr. Weasley"
"No, it was during his visitation. Rose was a sick baby, and she was fussy, he couldn't get her to stop crying. He was drunk and pissed off at me and she wouldn't stop crying. So he hit her, and shook her and he killed my daughter" Hermione said softly tears pouring out of her eyes. "They couldn't prove it was him, because there had been so many men there that night, all equally drunk."
"That will be all Mrs. Malfoy, thank you" The judge said as Ms. Winters began her next question.
"Oh Mya" Draco said as he embraced his wife. Blaize did the same both comforting her as she sobbed.
"We're here now love" He whispered
"I'm going to kill Weasley"
"There isn't a point. He's already paid for what he did" Hermione said softly "He is no longer a man"
"What?"
"I vanished his balls" Hermione said smiling, everyone laughed
"Remind me not to make you angry" Draco said kissing her as they went home.
"Guys, we have a letter" Blaize called as he came in from work. The other two ran in and he opened it to read. "Mr. Draco Malfoy, we have come to a decision after discussing with many veela experts. You will appear alone to the office of Ms. Winters, at 2:30. Thank you, Judge Misks"
"It's 2 now, you should get ready" Hermione said looking at the clock above the fireplace. Draco nodded as he stood up and walked out of the room. He kissed them each good bye as he left the house.
"Welcome Mr. Malfoy, since both parties have arrived we will begin. I have decided to let Scorpius decide the parent he wishes to live with." The Judge spoke to both him and Daphne. "You will hand your wands over to Angie and Felicia will bring in Scorpius. He has been upset all day because his veela knows that his caretaker isn't around. Daphne you will hold him first. If you can get him to calm down and not start wailing again then we will award you custody. Draco if Daphne is unsuccessful you will try. If you succeed you may take your son home with you"
"Here you are Ms. Greengrass" Felicia said handing the screaming Scorpius to Daphne. She tried to get Scorpius to quiet down and you could see the frustration in her face when he spotted Draco and reached out for him.
"DADDY!" Scorpius cried his wails ceasing as he reached for his father with little hands. Draco looked at the judge who sighed
"Ms. Greengrass please give Scorpius to Mr. Malfoy"
"But I got him to quiet down!" Daphne protested
"He quieted down when he saw me" Draco said as he effortlessly pulled Scorpius into his arms.
"Daddy! Papa and mommy?" Scorpius questioned
"They are waiting at home Scor" Draco said smiling at his son who held him tightly
"Daddy stay?" Scorpius asked looking at the judge.
"Yes, I am awarding final custody of Scorpius Orion Malfoy to his father Draco Lucius Malfoy" The judge said, Draco took Scorpius's bag from Felicia
"Please tell your wife thank you for the tips. He was very restless at night and the book helped"
"I will, thanks for taking care of him" Draco said as he left Daphne screaming at the judge.
"Scorpius" Hermione exclaimed happily pulling him from Draco's arms and spinning him around
"Mommy" He clapped hugging her. "Papa!"
"I've missed you my little Scorpion" Blaize said taking him in his arms as well
"Baby?" Scorpius asked pointing at Hermione's stomach, which had grown.
"Yes, baby, you're going to have a little brother or sister soon" Hermione said smiling at him.
Well there you go! I'm afraid that there is only one more chapter to go! So please let me know your thoughts!
