Telling the Twins
Next day dawned. Everybody were still asleep since they slept late last night. But Ginny had not slept well , since she was worried about telling everything to her sons, what would be their reactions, angry? happy to know more family? or awe or shocked about their father , curious to know about England? All these questions had been running through her mind .
She got up and told Dimple to prepare brunch , knowing that they will be getting up late . She allowed her sons to sleep a bit more , since yesterday was their birthday.
As the clock strike 10, everybody arrived, wide awake, fresh and sat around the dining table. Luna had arranged for Little Carlo to sit on one of the high chair,putting a bowl of small pieces of fruits in front of him to eat.
"Didn't you sleep well ,Ginny?",Severus asked,noticing her tired eyes.
Ginny nodded. " Yeah, I didn't feel sleepy. So I got up early as usual."
"Are you worried about the boys's reactions once they know everything?" ,Lucius asked, knowing the exact reason.
"Relax,Ginny. They will be fine. I bet that they will accept it calmly and be proud of you all.", Blaise assured her. Ginny rolled her eyes at him.
Her sons finally came , freshly showered and sat on their chair near to their grandfather on both sides of him , nodded and greeted everybody .
" Enjoyed the party yesterday ?" , Ginny asked her sons, wanting to be sure that her sons were happy about their day.
"Yeah, We enjoyed a lot . Had fun playing the video and on our new play station too." , said Lucas. He was drinking Orange juice.
" I love the Potion kit ,Uncle Severus ", Derek replied.
Severus smiled happily, happy to know that at least one of Draco's sons have passion in learning Potion just like their father Draco. Lucas also love Potion but he doesn't have passion in learning more,but he has the talent in making it.
Lucius saw Severus's smug expression, " What , you both didn't like my gifts?" He asked them nonchalantly. Ginny knew what Severus and Lucius are doing. Oh Merlin!, How childish ! Ginny thought.
"I love your gifts too, Grandfather. Play stations are way more cool . It's has many games and lots of cool features in it and we can select which ever games we want ." Derek beamed , showing his Grandfather ,how much he love it and eager to play it!
Seeing Derek beaming at him, Lucius smirked at Severus and raised his eyebrows at him. Severus scowled at him. Blaise and Luna were laughing at them silently. Ginny stifled her smile and shook her head. Those two will never change.
Derek has the promising talent in learning , full of passion in it ,giving innocent and creative ideas ,asking numerous questions about the different types of ingredients to his Uncle Severus. Ginny knew that Severus already has plans for Derek once he grow up more later. Lucas love decoding puzzles, Ginny had taught her boys basic arithmancy,basic ancient runes theory, Latin , teaching them how to master control of their accidental magic for now, yes,Ginny had taught her sons ,basic wandless defense magic so they can protect themselves in case..
Once everybody had brunch , their stomach full.
As her sons were getting up to leave and eager to get back to play their new videos .
Seeing this, Lucius saw Ginny were not ready to stop them,he narrowed his eyes and called out, " Boys , We are having a family meeting and we need you both here . "
Seeing the boys's reluctance , " After we have finished it , then you both can return to your toys."
Hearing this, the boys relaxed and were curious to know what family meeting their grandfather was talking about.
Lucas saw his mother's face expression , knowing that she doesn't like what is going on but she has no choice. He knows his mother very well since he was old enough to understand what is going on around . Lucas has a very keen observation skill and he knew this must be very serious.
Looking at Derek, he knew it too. The boys gazed at each other and understood that everybody was serious for wanting to talk to them. And they would listen .
Lucius said in a serious tone, the boys heard his tone, straightened their back and listening to him fully," Lucas,Derek, This is very serious , We have to tell you both very important things. Now you both are seven years old. you are aware that we, that is I,your mother , Uncle Severus, Uncle Blaise , Aunt Luna and Little Carlo are your only family. Right?"
Seeing the boys nod, curious to know what this talk is about. They kept silent.
" The thing is that you have more family too. You both have many relatives in England . Yes,The Weasley family , was your mother's family. You have Six Uncles, Aunts and plenty of cousins younger or around your age . Your mother was the only daughter of the Weasley family. You have maternal grandparents ( your mother's parents) too. They all live in England. "
The boys were stunned. They looked at their mother. Ginny stared at them,smiled slightly with unshed tears. They thought why did they not meet them or why did their mother not tell them?
"But the Weasleys doesn't know about your mother and your father 's relationship because your parents had married secretly. Nobody else knows it except those who knows about your parents are sitting here in front of you both. " The boys were surprised and became more curious to know more and more.
"Because you have to know one thing, the Weasleys and our family, i.e the Malfoys had always been enemies because of some unknown reason which happened some hundred years ago. Till then both families have always hate each other. I too didn't think of stopping the family feud during my time. Until then we met your mother and I saw how she made your father happy ,it was then I realized that what was the point in holding out grudges which happened long time ago. So I stopped the feud but the Weasleys was not aware that I had a change of heart and wanted to extend friendship to them,but that didn't happen at that time. But now we are okay. " Lucius paused , getting nostalgic , thinking about the past, his Draco , Draco's childhood ,memories flashing through his mind .
Blaise took over from Lucius, seeing how he couldn't continue to talk about his son's story .
" You know that Uncle Severus was a professor, but what you both didn't know that he is headmaster of Hogwarts too. Before he became headmaster , he was our ( I, Aunt Luna , Your parents ) Potion Professor too. "
The boys looked at him awe.
Severus smiled , " Don't look at me like that. Being a professor was enough and boring and now being headmaster is way more boring . "
The boys laughed, not noticing their grandfather 's sudden pause .
Wanting to finish the talk, Ginny interrupted him , " Listen boys, It 's a long story but we are going to tell you a brief story so that you will understand it and if you both have any questions,ask me later and I will answer you this time. "
Her sons nodded solemnly.
She took a deep breath , " In Wizarding England ,you need to know there were 4 founders who were very powerful wizards and witches,Gryffindor,Slytherin,Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff ( two wizards and two witches) , they were great friends and they build Hogwarts school to teach young magical people like you both. But there were disagreements among them and Slytherin left the School. Thousands years passed. They had family too."
"So during your grandfather 's time , there was a man who was born from Slytherin's descendants , he was a very bitter man , who wanted to control the world and killed those who crossed his path or defy him. He had formed one organisation, remember , he was a very charming man and told lies to the people that he want to have a peaceful world. People heard and met him, wanted to join him. Little did they know that he wanted to have only followers and he trapped them by putting a mark on their left arm. So if anybody wanted to leave him , he would kill them. So Our Malfoy family were trapped by him, unable to leave the organisation. "
The boys were shocked. Lucas and Derek spoke telepathy. "It must be that mark which Grandfather and Uncle Severus have on their arm. but its almost faded,nearly invisible."
" Yes, those times were hard. Everybody got scared of saying his name. His name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. But he wanted to be feared by everybody so he made a dangerous name 'Voldemort' . There was one another man whose name was Dumbledore, who was Hogwarts previous headmaster. Voldemort only feared him because Dumbledore was also a powerful wizard in his time too.. Knowing and hearing this, Those who wanted to defeat him , joined the Headmaster 's Phoenix organization."
"Your grandfather heard of him and request for help. Dumbledore had suggested him to become spy and provide information through your Uncle Severus , yes , he also joined the organisation too to help your grandfather . This was how the Malfoy family became spies in Voldemort 's Organisation, but there were consequences too."
Lucas and Derek felt confused, what consequence could our family faced after all Grandfather and Uncle Severus did good work . its like almost their muggle comics . The Villain, The Spy,The Hero. err..Who was the hero?
" While our family was helping Dumbledore secretly , but the rest of Wizarding world saw our family as being Dark Wizards and hating anybody who were poor, or half bloods or of Muggle heritage. The public had doubts of our family , whose sides we were truly on at that time. "
Ginny paused ,taking a deep breath before continuing it," Voldemort learned that there will be one boy who will be born and he will have the power to kill him. You know about astrology , seers and prophecy . Some people take it seriously and some do not."
Her sons nodded.
"So , Voldemort and Dumbledore heard one prophecy and took it seriously, because of it, Voldemort killed the boy's family but the boy survived and he was only one year old at that time, and his mother saved his life. But Voldemort vanished,disappeared. No knew how. This was how the boy became famous in Wizarding England. His name is Harry Potter."
Lucas said , "Harry Potter? He is the hero?"
Nodding her head, Ginny continue ,"Harry was the same age as your father too. He was famous . Everybody wanted to be his friend. Your father ask Harry to be his friend but he had rejected your father 's friendship , because at that time, he already made a new friend , who was your Uncle Ron."
"Oh!"
"Yes, so he had learned from your Uncle Ron about the Malfoys as enemies and They were from Slytheirn house at Hogwarts. He knew that Voldemort was from Slytherin and he didn't want to join that house. He just clung on to your Uncle Ron's friendship,believing him that he was telling the truth. Your Uncle Ron hated the Malfoys because of the family feud history, The Weasleys were poor and Malfoys were rich, So he hated anybody who went to Slytherin house ,thinking all were evil. So hearing and seeing this, your father became angry and he became their rival at School. He,Harry and Uncle Ron hate each other. "
"Oh Okay ,So Uncle Ron was responsible,I see",thought Lucas.
"Their rivalries went on until at the end of your father's fourth year, Voldemort returned suddenly . Everybody panicked. The Malfoys were caught unaware and Voldemort killed your grandmother ,Narcissa. Your grandfather and your father escaped and were protected by Dumbledore's Pheonix Organisation. Nobody believe them seriously that the Malfoys were true to Dumbledore at the beginning, but as times passed, everybody finally believed that the Malfoys were true to the light side and helped them too. This was how I met and fell in love with your father as he had changed a lot . But Harry,Uncle Ron and their other best friend ,Hermione didn't believe the Malfoys truly,but they were being civil and your father did his best by helping them , gave them advice how to defeat Voldemort on my suggestion. "
" By then the war became so serious, your father and I thought ,why should we live in fear, we decided to continue loving ,living life as normal. So we got married. But your Uncle Ron at that time was not liking my friendship with your father. Whether your father is a good man or not, your Uncle Ron never like him. But your father tried to break our relationship, thinking that my family i.e the Weasleys will never accept him. But I was so stubborn and stayed with him and I at that time hated my brother Ron so much. Because since he went to Hogwarts, got a famous friend , Harry Potter , he ignored me at School,didn't care about me. He was involved in his own life and his two friends. And suddenly he decided to control my life and I didn't like the way he behave with me and Draco. So I didn't listen to your Uncle Ron and thanks to everybody here at present, your father and I have a wonderful , but short married life . " ,Ginny said with so much emotion in her voice.
"Because during that time, Dumbledore was dying , he was injured due to touching some dark objects. He died after some months as the curse was spreading in his body very quickly. He had given some mission to Harry,Uncle Ron and Hermione for defeating Voldemort. After nearly one year, there were a sudden attack at Hogwarts , it was a big battle as Voldemort and his men attacked everybody,it was then your father died , saving your grandfather from a very dark cutting curse. And Harry defeated Voldemort. Everybody was happy that the war was over at last. But I was not happy as your father left the world. I was pregnant with you two . My family didn't know anything about me. And I was scared of their reactions towards my relationship to your father. So I left England and came here. "
" And I have been so happy here, you two were born,gave me lots of joy in my life." Ginny finally let the tears down as her sons jumped up and gave her tight hug.
"Oh ,We love you so much,Mum!"
"Don't worry, I am not angry at you." , Said Derek .
"Yeah,mum. Derek is right. its not your fault that you ran away from England . Now you and us are safe and happy here. ",replied Lucas.
Oh,I am very angry at Uncle Ron,Harry and maybe Hermione too. How dare Uncle Ron do that.
"But boys, do you want to meet the family?" Ginny asked her sons.
Lucas and Derek had tiny hope in their eyes but they told her that it doesn't matter now.
Seeing her boys's hopeful eyes, Ginny decided for them,"You know what. I decided that we all will go back to England and meet everybody. Maybe settle there too. "
Her boys showed excitement ,"Really?" "Yippee! Cool , Mum!" Her boys said happily.
Everybody felt relieved that the twins know the general story and they were not angry at anybody.
Lucas came near his grandfather," I love you , Grandfather! You had such a hard life. I never knew. You and Uncle Severus were so brave than anybody I know of.I don't care that you and Uncle Severus had a mark on your arms. You are our hero."
He hugged his grandson,Lucas.
He finally let tears down his face. His grandsons still love him, and not disgusted of him as he expected from them.
Derek was hugging his Uncle Severus too.
Blaise hugged Ginny from behind while Luna sat beside her, all smiling ; Ginny felt proud of her sons . She had always known that her sons were mature than their own age. And Little Carlo was playing with the toys in the play pen near them.
Ginny giggled, surprised that everything went well.. , seeing her set Luna into giggling and everybody look at each other and started laughing .
Everybody was relaxing. Blaise told the boys more about their father 's life at Hogwarts.
He mentioned to the boys , " Your father was one of the heroes in Wizarding England. Yes, it was because of Harry Potter, He told the public that how your family helped him in defeating Voldemort and everybody believed him."
"This was how the Malfoy name survived and is a respected family everywhere ,due to Harry Potter,and partly to Malfoy International Ltd. Your grandfather and your mother expanded the Malfoy empire in both Muggles and Magical world. Your mother is famous now, because she and your grandfather are business tycoons."
"So you both need to be prepared that if you will go back to England,the press and everybody will want to talk to you . So you both always have to be alert and aware of your surrounding too." Blaise said to them seriously.
Lucas nodded, thinking that it is not hard. It will be easy, right? he thought. Lucas is very curious to know more about Harry Potter. Just how much he had helped Grandfather. Oh,I will meet him once we will go back to England.
"Dad was a hero?" Derek asked quietly.
He looked at his Uncle Blaise ,their godfather . Lucas and Derek were fascinated to know more about their father 's life.
"Yes. He helped the Golden trio indirectly .He saved your Uncle Fred and Uncle George's life,your Grandfather 's life and your mother and mine too and it cost him his own in the end. He was a good man, and you both are so like him..."
Derek heard Lucas thoughts about Harry Potter and told his brother that he is with him too, to find more about this Harry Potter.
Ginny,Lucius,Severus,Luna were sitting quietly in a corner, having their cup of tea.
"Luna,will you help me , you know about the press.I know that you are the owner.."Ginny trailed off...
"Yes,I can help you . But I can send you a reporter or myself to interview you when you are ready to have an interview. "
"You of course. About when to conduct the interview ,I will think on it. But first let me go to England ,check how it is, ...maybe renovate the Malfoy Manor to look more habitable , lively, good for the twins to settle, so I think that I will have to live at the London flat for a few days."
Lucius and Severus look worried, knowing that she would have to face all Draco's memories again .
"Are you sure,Ginny , are you ready to face , seeing all Draco's memories around the flat?"
"Yes, I have to face it. I think it has been too long and it's time for me to accept that He is not coming back.",Her voice choked on the words 'not coming back'
"Plus, there is no way I will stay at the burrow."
" And I think, Luna,would you and Blaise do me a favor and stay here at least for a week for the twins. After I make sure , everything is alright at England, then you both come and bring the twins along . Will you?",inquired Ginny.
"Sure, Definitely,Blaise and I will stay here, we could use a little bit vacation here. Don't worry, We will take care of our godsons.",Luna assured Ginny.
She felt better, having made her decision finally.
So Ginevra Malfoy will be going back to England soon with Lucius and Severus.
