All right, all right, some of you are a little peeved that I didn't make the ending with Draco, totally understandable for the Draco fans out there. So, I made an alternate ending. The beginning will start out the same, but it's definitely different in the end.
The Alternate Ending
The clanking of their swords were heard but everyone kept fighting, neither hitting each other until Marius got a shot, cutting Draco's armor. Draco only looked annoyed as the blood dripped, "that's not going to be enough."
"Who ever said I was finished with you. I won't kill you quickly...you've brought too much pain to Hessa to deserve a quick death," Marius hissed.
Draco said nothing because the words stung, Marius was right in what he said. He had hurt Hessa and perhaps he didn't truly deserve her but that wouldn't stop him from taking her anyway. Once again he attacked out of spite and out of anger. This time they fought even harder, fast, each lithe, each with their own battling gifts. The city was in chaos, but the Conk guards were almost winning and all he had to do was kill their leader. Draco threw another shot, knocking Marius past a few soldiers but he was on his feet again...he was tougher than he looked. The Jeweler was truly a pain in his ass. They went at each other again, both a little bloody now, it was getting closer and closer but neither was tiring. Finally Draco cast something dark and hit Marius hard, knocking him into the ground, he was bloody and broken and Draco couldn't hear his heartbeat....finally....
He didn't wait for anyone to notice and took off into the distance, following the smell...
...........................................................
Immediately the guards started to escort the others out. "What's happening?" Hessa asked weakly.
"We have to go, their evacuating the city," the guard said, his eyes looked sympathetic.
"Did something happen to Marius?"
"I don't know all I know is that we have to get you all out of here now. There is a safety zone not far from here."
"You're lying to me," she started to tear.
"Please, please don't be upset, we don't know for sure...," he picked Hessa up. How could he tell her? To upset a Conk female like this now, she would lose the baby. "Please relax." Hessa let herself be lifted and carried quickly but she noticed that the guard was taking her in a different direction.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Marius had specific instructions, we can't follow the same path as the others, it's too easy." The guard ran fast and hard but he was looking back too, he sensed something and ran even faster. "Dammit," he mumbled.
Hessa clinged tighter to the guard's robe and soon, she saw him...Draco, "no...no....it can't be." She started to tear, the only way for Draco to have gotten this far was if he had killed Marius. "No," she whispered.
Draco has a smile across his face, "you're carrying something that belongs to me..."
"BUGGER OFF, REPTILE!!"
"Oh, that was harsh," he sped up and finally launched, causing the guard to drop Hessa and she landed with a squeal. "I was going to give you a chance, but since you insist on dying." The two men fought, leaving Hessa dazed but once she got her bearings she started to run as weak as she felt and headed back to the city. She had to see Marius, he couldn't be dead, could he? He was strong and kind...fate would not be cruel to her again, would it? Surprisingly enough she got fairly far but knew that he was closing in, he hadn't finished the guard easily, but he has finished him none the less. Soon Hessa heard his clanking boots that she knew so well, going at a speed she couldn't comprehend and before she knew it, Draco had his arms around her waist and she screamed until he had his hand around her mouth so he could talk. "There's no need to scream, I have you now, it's all over..." The words cut through her like a knife. Immediately he smelled her and caught a whiff of something he didn't like and his face turned dark, Hessa's eyes grew wide with fear, "what a bad little girl you've been...I'm going to have to believe he forced you." She struggled as he hurt her slightly, "the only child you'll be carrying is mine and you know that...once I get rid of this little abomination, we'll be right back on track."
"NO!" She was trying to force his hand off her stomach...he was going to cast something to hurt her baby! Her body was forced down, her neck pinched so she couldn't move her head.
"Please don't fight, it will be over soon and then you won't remember anymore, I'll make sure of it," Draco said softly as if this was supposed to comfort her.
"Draco, don't do this," tears poured down her face as she started to lose consciousness, she couldn't take the stress.
"That might be better for you," he touched her face softly as if he was about to make love to her rather than abort the young fetus that lay in her womb. "Yes, it will be better for you...please don't hate me, I know you won't hate me because you won't remember." He mumbled the spell quietly and after a few minutes blood came from between her thighs and Marius' little bastard was taken from her womb. Draco washed her in a nearby creek and wrapped her in his cloak, then commanded that the other Conks that had been captured be taken to their designated prisons awaiting for auction or wizard, whichever came first.

The Healer looked over her, "she looks fine the…abortion seemed to have been done well, Mr. Malfoy." She looked at Hessa with regret, the poor thing, "you also intend on changing her memories?"
"Yes, he will be here within the hour," Draco nodded. "I wish you to stay here for a few days and make sure that there aren't any complications."
"I understand," what a monster he really was.
"How long should I wait before making her with child again?"
The Healer looked at him in a mild look of disbelief, trying to hide her disgust, "oh, uh, I would recommend three months. This would give her body an ample amount of time to heal."
"Sex?"
"A few weeks unless she feels she can physically handle it but I would recommend check ups afterwards."
"Of course," Draco smiled. There was a noise from Hessa, she was starting to wake, "please, put her under again, I don't want her to awake upset."
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy," she administered another potion and watched as the girl went back to sleep.
There was a knock, "Commander Malfoy, the Eraser is here."
"Send him in," Draco then looked at the Healer. "Thank you, I will send for you if anything happens."
"All right," she left with a sense of sadness and this man dressed in all black walked passed her, he wasn't very attractive but intriguing at least…but at the same time she didn't like him. She watched as they closed the door.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The Eraser put his gloves back on, "she should be perfect now. No memories of her former life, no Harry Potter or Marius and especially no baby. I even fabricated some of her memories to include you to fill in the holes, have to say it is my best work yet. I Conk's mind is a complicated one but I got around some of the guards."
"Will she feel empty? I heard about that after a woman has lost a child."
"It is a possibility but she won't know why and from what I understand you intend on getting her pregnant again?" Draco nodded. "Good, so that feeling will go away, but until that time I've attributed any feeling of illness or emotional distress due to a severe brain fever."
"I am afraid because last time the charm didn't take, she had other memories."
"I will admit Commander Malfoy that you are very talented at many things, especially potions from what I understand but this is my expertise and it is the only thing I do. Sciences of the brain have always intrigued me, so no doubt I'm sure that your charm was very good for a regular person, but like I said, a Conk is a different matter and I had spent a great deal of research on her before I came. I have no doubt that had you had the same information the charm might have work better, but I am flattered you called on me," he was no doubt good at kissing ass.
"Thank you."
"You are welcome."
Draco sat next to Hessa, waiting for her to wake up and wondering how she would remember him.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Hessa blinked open her eyes, her body felt like it had been turned inside out and her head was fuzzy, "Dr…Draco?"
His whole face seemed to beam, she remembered him and only said his name, "yes, yes, my love, I'm here." He held her hand tightly as he sat on the side of the bed.
"What happened, I feel so strange like my body hurts…I can't focus."
"You were very sick, remember? A severe brain fever, you just came out of it. Healers were working on you for days," he pulled her up on his lap. "You scared me there for a minute, I thought you were going to leave me."
"I'm sorry," she said weakly.
"No need to be sorry, I think it was my fault."
"How?" she furrowed her brow.
"Just not being careful with you, that's all…but now you'll be fine, we'll be fine," Draco rocked her back and forth as if she were a child.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Two weeks had passed, Draco kept himself busy with tying down the Conk city and making it part of their own, he decided he would make it a special place where Conks could get the clothing they needed and other things that wizards needed to take care of them, but if Hessa were to enter that square no one was allowed to talk to her or approach her and guards would be by her side at all times.
Then finally she was ready to mate. He made sure that candles were lit and that he looked his best, tying his hair back and wearing his emerald green night pants and robe, Hessa blushed when he entered, Draco looked like a carved statue rather than a man, his body hard with solid muscle and looking so much different than when they were kids. His body mass had grown as well, where when he was younger he was tall and lanky, now he had a perfect V shape to him.
To him she looked like a beautiful flower, a fragile and delicate beauty that he had fought long and hard to acquire. And now there as there was nothing standing in the way of them. Draco bit her gently a few times during their lovemaking but nothing that was very painful and she seemed to enjoy it this time. So much different than the past where he did it for claim and dominance, even punishment. This was how it was supposed to be all along, if it hadn't been for Harry Potter and Marius this would have happened sooner. Draco seemed to thrust into Hessa harder at this thought as if to say to them, even though they were dead, 'she was mine, is mine, and always will be mine.'
Even her mother couldn't interfere…but she too had been executed.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hessa went shopping in the new square, getting new clothing and ornaments for her hair and rare herbs for some potions. The guards were with her when she looked around and it all seemed so familiar. There were people she recognized but didn't know from where and they looked at her so sadly but didn't know why. That was then the guards hurried her along, they were given specific orders to remove her from any situation that might even remotely trigger the past. Even though the Eraser said that nothing like that would happen, Draco didn't want to take any chances.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
A few months had passed.
Draco was on a mission and had installed a mirror where he and Hessa could communicate. One day he called through it to find her half-dressed, "you know, it's not nice to do that to me. You'll be paying for it when I get home."
Hessa smiled and giggled, "well, you'd better not be too rough…"
"Why, I thought you liked it that way?"
"It might hurt the baby," Hessa caressed her stomach with the hand that now carried a wedding band on it.
Suddenly he made such a face that it made her blush, especially when he said, "hey boys! I'm going to be a father!" There was whistling and hollering, of course they couldn't see her, the spell made sure of that but they could hear her if they were in the room.
From then on Draco wasn't far from her. He knew her condition and how weak Hessa would be and would often sleep with his body wrapped tighter around her than before. His demeanor had changed from caring husband to fierce protector and didn't like even his guards around her. But Draco's one worry was how would the child end up? He own genetics had changed completely, would there be complications during the birth, how long did a Conk female carry a child normally?
He had the Healer monitor Hessa and though the child seemed to grow at a faster than normal pace, it was steady and healthy, showing no signs of abnormality. Once the child was born, Draco looked at his son who had the blonde hair and crystal blue eyes of his mother, laying there next to his sleeping wife. The baby seemed to look at him and made no real sound except for a small coo here and there, the crystal blue eyes following him around the room as if he knew who Draco was. Perhaps he did. Draco read on Conk children, even half-bred or quarter-bred children seemed to know who their parents were without being told. But his son also had the eyes of a dragon behind the blue, the slits. Draco picked him up and wondered what he would be like, he was already still and steady like himself.
In time they would all see.
But for now, Draco had everything he ever wanted and should have had a long time ago. He took his son by his mother and they both looked down at her, "look Orion, isn't your mother beautiful?"
