A couple of hours later, Luna was sitting on the couch in the room where she had first seen Lila. The little girl was asleep on her lap, her right hand clutching Luna's navy blue robes. Lorcan and Lysander were sitting at a table with Scorpius, playing a game of exploding snap. They were all waiting on Harry to get back to tell them that the paperwork had been processed and Lila could come back to Malfoy manor with her. That they could finally start to move on with their lives away from the abuse and neglect that Rolf had put them all through.

Draco was pacing the room, irritated over finding out that his wife had been in on the whole thing with Rolf. That the affair had been going on for even longer than Daphne knew about. He could see that his son, along with Lorcan and Lysander, was visibly upset and that their hearts weren't in the game that they were playing. To find out that your mother had helped kidnap a baby and take her from it's mother, was just another way that Astoria has disappointed her son.

"What the..."

Luna's shocked and angry outburst pulled him out of his thoughts and back over to where she was looking down at her daughters legs. The light blue robes that had been put on her had gaped open and the sight of red welts on her little legs was enough to send his own temper to full blown boil. He watched as Luna looked at her daughter's arms and her torso and the rage burning in her blue eyes was enough to confirm that the welts were all over her body.

"Is there still an Auror guarding the door?"

Draco glanced outside and nodded in confirmation that there was. He then saw Luna gently place Lila beside her on the couch before standing up. She pulled a blanket that was lying on the back of the couch over her daughter's body.

"Lysander, Lorcan, Scorpius, do me a favor and keep an eye on Lila for me while we go and find Harry. Will all of you that for me?"

"Yes ma'am." All three boys called out before Luna grabbed Draco by the arm and pulled him out of the room. She looked at Kyle, who was standing there talking to Amber quietly about something. She interrupted them, at that moment, not giving a damn about their personal life.

"Where's Harry?"

"In his office, dealing with the ministry, the muggle authorities and the people that Lila thought was her parents. That stupid bitch, who beat that poor baby, is in there, pitching a royal hissy fit, screaming that Lila is hers and that she has the adoption papers to prove it. She can't seem to find them and her husband is telling her to shut the hell up. I'm just waiting...."

As soon as Luna heard that the woman who had beat her daughter was in the office with Harry, she rushing down the hall to where her friend's office was located. Her lovely face showing nothing but pure rage and fury of a mother defending her baby that had been hurt.

"Luna!" Draco exclaimed as he and Ron, who had walked up while Amber was speaking, took off after her. She was going so fast that even two very physically fit grown men in the prime of their lives had trouble catching her.

Harry had finally had enough of Millie Richards ranting and raving and was about to tell her to shut up when the door to his office came flying open. It was hanging off of its hinges, shocking Kingsley, the other Ministry official with him, the two muggle police officers that were there along with Trevor and Millie Richards into silence. Standing there searching the crowd in the room was a very furious Luna Lovegood Scamander.

The second the petite witch saw Millie, her wand came out and "Levicorpus" was heard throughout the room. A burst of white light flashed as Millie screamed while being lifted off of her feet and hung upside down. The men standing there, including Ron and Draco, all stood with there, their jaws hanging open in shock as Luna marched over to where Millie was hanging by her ankles.

"So you are the sorry bitch who beat my child like that!"

"She's not yours, you gave her up for adoption!"

"No, I didn't. Your husband, my husband and the whore he was sleeping with faked my child's death and took her from me. All so your sorry ass could beat a five year old until there are welts all over her body!"

The muggle police that were in the room started to get real interested at that statement and glanced over to Harry for confirmation.

"Don't try to deny it, Mrs. Richards, we have your husband's sworn statement saying the abuse was caused by you. He also brought this envelope full of papers with him...." Harry spoke up, handing the paperwork that Trevor had brought to the officers.

"See, I told you we had adoption papers! They were in that envelope in my husband's safe."

"Actually Millie, I lied to you. There was no adoption papers, all that was in there is proof of what Lila's biological father did to his wife to get Lila from her. You and I don't have any rights to her at all so let it go, Millie. Lila is safe from your abuse and you will never hit her like that again."

"You got that right!" Luna exclaimed before looking over at Draco, who was fighting not laugh at the sight of Millie floating in mid air by her ankles. Ron wasn't even trying to hide his own laughter as tears of mirth fell down his cheeks, his face turned red and his body shook at the force of it.

Luna released Millie from the spell, waited until the other woman stood up and then punched her in the jaw, knocking her back down onto the floor. She then walked out of the office, going back to where her children and Scorpius were waiting. Draco didn't say a word, just followed her out of the room, leaving Harry and Ron to clean up the mess Luna had just caused with her use of magic in front of muggles.

When Draco got back to the room, Luna had Lila in her lap, the little girl giggling at something her mother had just told her. They had seemed to have bonded from the first moment they saw each other and it made him happy to see a smile back on Luna's face. Lysander and Lorcan were on either side of her, making faces at Lila, who was laughing at her brothers as the four of them focused on each other and not on the five years that they had been apart.

He glanced over and saw Scorpius watching them with a sad smile on his face. So he walked over and sat down beside his son, pulling out a wizard's chess game that was sitting there.

"How about a game and then you can tell me what's wrong?"

"Okay."

They set the pieces up and started to play, after a few minutes, Scorpius started to speak, tears filling the little boy's eyes.

"Why wasn't I good enough for her, father? Is there something wrong with me that my own mother couldn't or wouldn't be there for me the way I see others mothers are with their children?"

Draco moved over to the chair that was beside his son, forgetting about the game they were playing. All that matter in that moment was his son.

"You did nothing wrong, Scorp. It was all her, she just wasn't the type to be that kind of mother. I tried to make up for her lack of affection towards you but it didn't work out very well, did it?"

"This wasn't your fault either. You have been an awesome father!"

"Awesome? You have been watching too many of those muggle programs," Draco commented with a smirk on his face, which caused his son to start to laugh.

The little boy hugged his father, which was returned to him. They didn't notice Lysander and Lorcan giving father and son the same look of longing that Scorpius had just been giving them with their mother. Luna, who had overheard the conversation Draco and Scorp had just had about Astoria, noticed how her boys were watching the man she loved and his son.

'Rolf, if you were alive right now, I would do to you what I just did to that stupid woman. Would you or Tori give a damn about the damage you have caused to your sons?' she thought viciously to herself before putting her focus back on the little girl in her arms and the little boys sitting beside her.

Ten minutes later, Harry stepped into the room where Luna and the others had been waiting, smiling as he watched the scene that was taking place in there. Luna was reading Lila a story, with the little girl on her lap with Lysander against one end of the couch beside his mother and Lysander on the other. Scorpius was sitting beside Lorcan as all three boys listened to the story being read to them.

Draco had been standing back watching them before he noticed Harry in the doorway. He walked over to him and stepped out into the hall with the other wizard, waiting for what was hopefully good news.

"Thank Merlin, the muggle police that were sent had wives that were witches and didn't have to be oblivated. Trevor won't say a word about what just happened in there and after Kingsely and the other Ministry offical found out about the abuse Lila had to endure at that woman's hands, are firmly on Luna's side. So if that stupid woman tries to say that witches and wizards are real, other muggles will think she is completely mental. The paperwork that Richards gathered proves what was done to Luna at Lila's birth, and the DNA test he had done that proves Lila is Rolf's child did a lot to help. The only thing they want done is a DNA test that proves Luna and Lila are mother and daughter and that can be done at St. Mungo's tomorrow. They are allowing Luna to take her daughter with her and when the tests come back that prove that Lila belongs to Luna, everything will be changed at the Ministry to reflect that Lila Scamander is alive and well."

"What about the muggle that beat Lila? Are they putting her in jail?"

"Yes. It seems Trevor had took something else with him when he brought Lila here. He grabbed the belt that his wife used on Lila and the local police in their area are doing what they have to do to prove that she did it. She is going to be in a lot of trouble for a very long time." Harry paused for a moment, unsure of how to talk about what had been plaguing him since the first moment he had seen Draco holding Luna after they found Rolf and Astoria dead. "Ginny told me the story that Luna told her about the two of you. I want to hear it from you. How long have you been in love with her, Malfoy?"

"Ever since she tried to comfort me while she was trapped in my family's cellar. She was the one who was a prisoner in her my home, stuck in the dark and in this horrible situation. Here is this wonderful, caring young woman holding me and making me feel like that I might actually survive the hell my parents had put me in the middle of."

"So if you have loved her since then, why did you push her away? Why did you, when the both of you realized her father had kept your letters from her, let her marry another man?"

"I pushed her away because I felt that she could do better than a former death eater like me. When my father finally knocked some sense into me, it was too late. She had gone to China on that trip and met Scamander and the letters I had sent her were not being answered. I thought I had a chance at the ministry the night she announced her engagement and I had her in my arms only to have her push me away. In that moment, I thought that she had made her choice and it was time to move on with my life without her. Only to marry a woman whose selfishness made Pansy, may she rest in peace, look like the most giving person in the world."

"That's pretty selfish. So now you have a second chance with Luna, what are you going to do about it?"

"Marry her as soon as she is ready and feels that she can do it without disrespecting her husband memory."

"That bloody wanker doesn't deserve her respect."

"I think she is doing this so her children doesn't have to live through the gossip a romantic relationship between the two of us will most and likely cause."

"I don't think you will have to worry about Rita Skeeter causing the two of you any problems. That woman owes your father her life and if I know Lucius, he'll collect on it."

Draco's eyes got huge as Harry's words about his father processed through his brain. He turned to look at Harry, who was smirking at the thought of Rita being put into her place.

"Did your children tell you anything about Goyle's son trying to throw Scorpius off the Astronomy tower?"

"Yes, McGonagall called me on the floo, informing of what had happened and that she was suspicious of the possibility that Goyle talked his son into doing it."

"What did you find out?"

"He sure hates your guts, Malfoy. Blames you for Crabbe's death despite being the fact that he was there to see that the idiot did it to himself. Your son being sorted into Gryffindor just gave him the push he needed to have Byron take out on Scorpius his anger at you."

"I wouldn't put it past my father to use Rita's life debt to use the Prophet to strike out at Greg and make him pay for trying to hurt Scorp."

Luna stepped out of the room, glancing over at Draco, who looked afraid that she had overheard what they were talking about.

"I'm sure that one of you will tell either me or Ginny what you were discussing out here so I will find out either way. I just wanted to see if we could get these children back to the Manor. Lila is saying that she is hungry and the other three are getting restless."

"Of course. They are letting you take her home, Luna, they just want you back at St. Mungo's with Lila in the morning so the healers can run some tests on her. They also want to do a DNA test to show the Ministry that Lila is your daughter and complete the paperwork to put everything back in place for her."

"Thank you, Harry."

"You're welcome, Luna."

Harry walked away leaving Draco and Luna to go back into the room and get their children. When they got to the floo, Lucius was there to meet them with a very smug and self satisfied look on his face.

"I'm sure you'll tell me when we get back home just what you did to make you look like somebody is going to suffer for it," Draco stated, having a feeling that this had something to do with Greg Goyle.

Lucius then noticed Luna holding Lila's hand as she and children stood close by.

"Your mother is going to have fun spoiling that little girl, Draco. It'll be a preview for what will happen when Bree gets old enough to go shopping with her grandmother," Lucius commented as he pictured his wife's face when she saw Lila for the first time.

Lucius took Lysander's hand and they disappeared into the floo, leaving the others behind them. Draco turned to Luna, who was trying to figure out how to get herself, Lila and one of the boys with her.

"How about you let me carry her and I'll take her and Lorcan with me while you and Scorpius follow right along behind us?"

Luna looked down at the scared little girl, who was clutching her hand as tightly as she could. Being raised among muggles, this was her first time going through the floo and the sight of Lucius and Lorcan disappearing in green flames had terrified her.

"Sweetie, that is one of the ways we go from place to place in our world. Draco is going to carry you and take you and your brother through and I will be right behind you with Scorpius. Everything will be okay."

"Won't the flames burn me, mummy?"

"No. They will not hurt you, love."

Draco knelt down in front of the little girl, who still had a death grip on Luna.

"I promise, Lila, that I will not let the flames hurt you. Okay?"

Something in his gaze made Lila start to trust him and she let go of her mother's hand. He picked her up into his arms and took Lorcan's hand in his, going into the floo to disappear into the green flames. Scorpius glanced up at Luna, who had a anxious look on her lovely face.

"My dad will take care of them, Mrs. Scamander. She'll be okay."

"Thank you, love." Luna kissed the little boy on the cheek and hugged him before taking his hand and disappearing into the floo with him.

AN: Now Lila is back with her mother and the fun begins of getting her used to the wizarding world. Lila will also have to deal with the negative effects her former mother's abuse will have on her as well as get used to a new family. There will have to a whole lot of healing done with both Draco and Luna as well as their children before their journey is complete.

Why Lucius was so smug will be revealed in the next chapter or two as Rita now owes him for her life, he intends to collect and will have a hold over her as Draco and Luna's involvement with each other becomes more public.
