Draco and Luna were holding hands as they came downstairs and into the parlor to the sight of only Hermione, Ginny, who was holding Bree, and Narcissa standing or sitting in various places around the room. They were both confused as to why all of the other people that had been there were gone and glanced at each other.

"Where's all of your guests, mother?" Draco asked Narcissa, curious as to what was going on and what so important that he and Luna had to come downstairs. In his opinion, he would have been perfectly happy staying in his bed with her for the rest of the day.

"They were all sent home after Daphne showed back up with Kingsley and a order giving her permission to take custody of Scorpius and Bree," Narcissa stated, her fury at the situation evident on her face. "The two of them, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley and your father are in the study waiting on you so things can be discussed as to why your children should or shouldn't be allowed to go home with Daphne."

A look of icy disdain and anger that reminded Luna and the others of his former attitude when they were in school came over him as he turned to walk to his father's study. He was stopped by a gentle touch to his hand that made him calm down a bit but not completely.

"Draco, don't let her win. Calm down and give your side of what happened without letting her piss you off. Because the first time you yell or scream at her, will be the moment that Kingsley could decide that you might be a danger to your children and let her take them."

"Marry me, Luna," He impulsively asked her, stunning the woman beside him in an instant.

"What?"

"We love each other, at least that is what you said upstairs. I want to be with you and if things would have turned out differently for us, it would have been you I married instead of Tori." Draco paused, gathering his thoughts and trying to find the right words to convince her. "I figured out what Colin was trying to tell Harry the night his brother died about the two of us getting married sooner rather than later. I thought it was about Lila and getting her back but it wasn't. It was about keeping Scorpius and Bree away from Daphne and her mother and to give my children the mother they deserve."

"Draco...." Luna had tears in her eyes as she watched him kneel down in front of her.

"Say yes, mum!" Lorcan's voice carried over to them and she glanced over to see her sons, Scorpius, who was holding Lila's hand, the Potter children, Rose and Hugo standing there watching from the doorway. Luna watched Lysander, who had a hopeful but sad look on his face and knew that her son wanted her to marry Draco, despite his sadness over his father's death and the things he had done.

"Yes, I'll marry you," she said, with tears of happiness falling down her cheeks. "I love you and I want to be with you. If it also keeps your children out of the hands of that woman and her mother, then that's just an added bonus."

Draco stood up and pulled her into his arms, kissing her with a passionate joy that shook them both to their very core. The children standing in the door all ran from the area, screaming out in embarrassment at the sight while Hermione and Ginny exchanged worried looks at how fast they seemed to be moving. They had went from two people helping each other through the death of their spouses and their betrayals to engaged to be married within a matter of days. Both witches hoped that this somehow didn't turn out badly for either one of them or the innocent children involved.

The scorching hot kiss ended and Draco left the room to confront his former sister-in-law while Luna went over to sit with the other women in the room. Narcissa smiled at her future daughter-in-law, thankful that things finally worked out for her son, not realizing that sometimes that the road to happiness is paved with plenty of angst and drama along the way.

Kingsley was sitting down at Lucius desk, at the older Malfoy's insistence, so he could listen to both sides of this issue and get it settled today. He had a pretty good idea what was going on here, especially after talking to Harry and Ron earlier, but he wanted to give each party a chance to talk before he gave his final decision.

He watched as Harry, Ron and Lucius Malfoy sat or stood on one side of the elegantly decorated room while Daphne Nott sat alone on the other side. Kingsley then saw the elaborate computer set up at another desk in another small room off to the side and wondered if he was in an alternate universe where Lucius Malfoy had taken to using Muggle technology in his business dealings. He would have to ask the other wizard about it before he left to go back to the Ministry.

His focus was brought back to the issue at hand by the sound of the door opening and Draco walking into the room with an air of happiness around him that belied the situation that they were here for. Something had happened to cause the wizard a great deal of joy but it was time to get his focus back to why he was here.

"It's nice to see you, Minister. I wish it were under better circumstances," Draco said, walking over to his father's desk and shaking Kingsley's hand before sitting down across from Daphne. He made sure not to look at her as if to keep himself from losing his temper.

"We are here today to discuss the issue of what is in the best interest of Scorpius Hyperion and Sabrina Narcissa Malfoy: to continue to live with their father, Draco Malfoy or to be given to their maternal Aunt Daphne Greengrass Nott and her mother, Constance Prince Greengrass, the children's grandmother. The Aunt and Grandmother are claiming that there is a threat to the children's safety because of the father's temper and anger management issues." Kingsley saw Draco clinch his fist in anger but was also keeping it under control. He didn't see any sign of this man not being able to control his temper but decided to ask about the two separate incidents that he had been shown of Draco losing his temper. "Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Nott has shown me memories of two separate occasions where you screamed at her and ordered her to stay away from her niece and nephew. Is that correct?"

"Yes it is. There were also extenuating circumstances that led me to order her away from them and to lose my temper with her," Draco stated, fighting to keep the anger he was feeling out of his voice but not quite succeeding.

"What were they?"

"I had just found out that my wife had been having an affair with another man and had been shown by my mother and Luna Scamander, the wife of the man Astoria was sleeping with the memory of it happening. I then find out that my sister-in-law knew about it almost the whole time and said nothing to me or to the wife of Astoria's lover. She could have prevented the pain caused by Rolf and Astoria's actions if she would have just said something to me or Luna. Then maybe young Lysander wouldn't have nightmares of witnessing his father rape his mother, his twin Lorcan wouldn't have to feel like he has to take care of his brother and act older than what he is. Or sweet, little Lila would have never been taken from her mother and subjected to pain and abuse that no child ever deserves if Rolf and Astoria wouldn't have faked her death and gave her to the bitch that hurt her."

"My sister had nothing to do with that!" Daphne screamed, shrilly.

"Actually Mrs. Nott, she did. We have the evidence to prove it and if your sister was alive right now, she and Rolf Scamander would be facing some very serious charges of kidnapping," Kingsley stated, glaring at the furious witch. "The late Mrs. Malfoy neglecting her children is not something new given her past history of leaving Scorpius by himself at Diagon Ally where anybody could have taken that child and harmed him. It was only because of Neville and Hannah Longbottom that he was found safely and brought back to his father Let's move on to the next incident, shall we?."

"The second incident of me screaming at Daphne was because she and her mother had waited until Luna was alone upstairs and then proceeded to call her a slag and ordering her to stay away from me. That she wasn't going to replace Tori in her children's heart. I walked up to find my son telling them to back off and to leave Luna alone. Because in the less than a week that Luna and her children have been staying here, my son has been shown more love by her than he had ever received from Tori. She listens to him talk about his schoolwork, how much he loves to fly and play quidditch. Sabrina has been held and cuddled more by Luna this past week than Tori ever did in the four months since she has been born. My late wife left the care of our daughter to Teensy, our house elf, and my mother, who have been the ones to change nappies, feed, and take care of the other things needed to be done for her. I'm not saying that I don't think Tori didn't love her children but I do think that she loved herself and Rolf Scamander more and that led her to neglect them when they needed her the most. To have Daphne act like her sister was the injured party and the world's greatest mother is just plain delusional and as far from the truth as you can get."

"That doesn't give you the right to bring that loony bitch into this house and sleep with her less than a week after Tori's death!"

"Actually Luna and I have been in separate bedrooms and hadn't even kissed or anything like that because Luna wanted to have respect for her husband and Tori. She thought it would be better for the children and keep other people from gossiping about us and the children. After your little stunt today, that has all changed of course and Luna and I have decided that since we are damned if we do and damned if we don't, we might as well be selfish for once. To go for what we have wanted for the past nineteen years, which is to be together and to hell with what anybody else thinks about it. As long as the two of us and our children are happy, the rest of the world can get over it."

"Mr. Malfoy, are you and Mrs. Scamander planning on getting married anytime soon?"

"Yes. In fact, I asked her to marry me right before I came in here and she has accepted my proposal. It wouldn't surprise me if Luna, my mother, Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Weasley are starting on wedding plans as we speak."

"You bastard! That wedding will never happen! My sister's children will be away from you and that whore! I promise you Draco, you and that bloody bitch will pay for this!" Daphne was going absolutely ballistic, screaming, ranting and raving like a crazy person. It was only Ron and Harry running over to grab and restrain her that kept Daphne from physically attacking Draco.

"Take her to St. Mungo's for a seventy two hour hold in the psych ward," Kingsley stated to Ron and Harry, who quickly moved Daphne out of the room to escort her out of Malfoy manor, before standing up and facing Draco. "I will sign papers that will order Daphne Nott and Constance Greengrass to stay away from your children and as well as send word to Minerva at Hogwarts to keep the two of them away from Scorpius when he goes back to school. In the next three days, I would change your wards to keep anyone from that family or anybody else out of your home that you do not want to be here. If the future Mrs. Malfoy chooses to adopt Scorpius and Sabrina, I have no problem signing the papers to allow it. I will also sign off on any type of adoption for you in regards to her children as well. So all of you can move on and let those babies have a normal life with a mother and father that love them. Those children deserve no less than that."

"Thank you, Minister," Draco said, shaking the wizard's hand, truly grateful for his help in this situation.

"You're welcome, Mr. Malfoy. Tell your fiancee congratulations for me and when the times comes for the two of you to get married, I would be honored to perform the ceremony."

Kingsley walked out of the room, leaving Lucius and Draco alone in the study. The older man had an unreadable expression on his face as he walked over to his desk and opened one of the drawers. He took a velvet burgundy jewelers ring box and walked over to where his son was standing.

"This is the ring that was supposed to go to your bride but there was something about your engagement to Astoria that made me decide not to give this to you. It was your great grandmother's," Lucius said, handing the box over to Draco, who took it in his hand and opened it. He glanced back up at his father, shocked at the beautiful antique ring that lay there.

"Why did you hesitate if it was supposed to go to my future bride? Astoria, despite her faults, which with my own history I have no right to judge, was my wife and the mother my two children."

"My grandfather adored my grandmother, she was this calm, ethereal beauty that could talk him out of doing things that would have gotten him into more trouble that you could count. In fact, she resembled Luna in a lot of ways not only in appearance but in personality. My father, who could be a cold hearted asshole at the best of times, held her in higher regard than he did his wife, whom he cherished than like she was a queen. I couldn't in good conscious let you give this ring to someone that I knew wasn't your first choice, Draco."

"Father...."

"I have never admitted when I was wrong about something in my entire bloody life but I was. When Luna announced her engagement that night and I saw how you both reacted to each other, like I said before, I should have pulled off a kidnapping or did something to stop that wedding from happening. Exposed Xeno for what he did to his daughter and to you because of his own narrow minded point of view. Instead I pushed you toward Astoria, who deceived everybody back then by acting like she wanted nothing more than to be Mrs. Draco Malfoy," Lucius looked completely out of character for him in how upset he was at that moment. "If this would have been after the war and we wouldn't have worked so hard to redeem our family, that woman would have walked out of here with my grandchildren tonight. It might have still happened if it had not have been for Luna and Potter's friendship with her. Something he said to Kingsley swayed the Minister's opinion in our family's favor."

"Luna was the only reason I didn't come in here trying to hex Daphne for even considering taking my children. I love her, father. I think I have ever since I first saw her in that cellar and here she was comforting me for the situation I was in, not the other way around. If I hadn't of been a stupid prat, giving into self pity and depression, I would have been with her for all of this time but then I wouldn't have Scorpius and Bree. I can't imagine my life without my children and I know Luna feels the same way about hers."

"Well you better get back out there and spend time with your fiance and your children, all five of them, soon to be six." The aristocratic wizard then smirked knowingly at his son. "Well son, are you prepared to be a father to that many children?"

"With her, I can handle anything, Father."

Father and son left the study and walked into the parlor to the sight of Luna, Ginny and Narcissa with various wizarding fashion magazines spread out in front of them. They then saw Hermione step out of the floo and walk into the parlor, a stack of even more magazines in her hands. She went over to where the other three women were, placing them on the table.

"There's a copy of Vogue, InStyle, Glamour and one with the latest in Bridal fashions for muggles for Winter 2018. If you saw something, Luna, in one of those you liked, it could be done because I read in an article that there is a lot of wizarding fashion designers who are now incorporating muggle styles into their work."

"Thank you, Hermione. I definitely don't want to let myself get talked into anything that I don't feel comfortable with. Rolf's grandmother took over and wouldn't let me pick out anything for my wedding to him. All I had to do was show up, put on the dress, and say my vows." Luna's dreamy eyes took on a repulsed look as she, Ginny and Hermione shuddered at the memory of her first wedding dress. "The dress and robes that I wore were horrible in not only style but there was so much lace and fabric, I looked like the whipped topping that muggles put on their pies and cakes."

"I promise, Luna, you will be the most beautiful bride of the year because I think that the two of us, Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Potter can come up with something that will make you look amazing. People will be talking about this wedding for years to come. I can't wait to help you with this." Narcissa stated, a glow about her that made her look twenty years younger than she was.

"Cissy, let the girl alone. It's her wedding, not yours," Lucius commented, smiling indulgently at his wife.

"That's okay, Mr. Malfoy. My mother died when I was nine and with the disaster of my first wedding, I want this one to be perfect because I don't plan on ever doing this again," she smiled up at Draco, who had come up to stand behind her with his hands on her shoulders. He leaned down and softly kissed her which quickly turned passionate, starting to embarrass the others in the room.

After about ten seconds, when it didn't look like the engaged couple were going to come up for air anytime soon, the other three witches gathered up the magazines and followed Lucius out of the room. Making sure to close the door just in case they went further than the children running around the manor needed to see.

AN: This is not the end of Daphne who, with the death of her sister and husband then finding out her sisters many secrets, has lost her grip on reality.

Thank you to everybody who has read, reviewed and/or enjoyed this story, I am very grateful for all of you.
