well that went well i think. watching Phi tell Cissy what to write was amusing, and soon she will have new children to entertain. She is good with her step children, and often has our family over so that kiara and Marcus can get used to magic.

Draco has told me that he is pregnant and that it is twins. I'm so happy, our family is growing! i want him to take it easy, but if i know him he won't. it's so embarrassing reading what the others wrote. i was disturbed by Al's page, i didn't know he felt that way, I'll have to try to show him that i could never hate him.

and as far as his having feelings for Scorpius, and visa versa, i don't mind. as long as they practice safe sex. Both Draco and I warned them that they could face adversity to their relationship, and as long as they were willing to deal with the repercussions, we both saw no reason to keep them apart.

yes i'm a legilimens, and have been since sixth year, when Draco was busy trying to fix the cabinet in the room of requirement. it comes naturally to me, and Draco is the only person other than Cissy and Ginny who knows. now you too diary, know.

he warned me to not look in his mind, or he'd hex me. i wrapped my arms around him, and reminded him that i was and still am a former aurora. I can undo any spell he tries on me. he wants to try it one day, but i gave him my promise that i would not look into his mind.

anyway, back to the pregnancy. Draco is two months along, and he wont tell me the sex of the babies, it's driving me mad. he even cast a shield over them, so i can't read their minds, the spoilsport.

ouch Draco, your elbows are pointy. yes i know you want the surprise but the rest don't, you know how Molly gets don't you? See? I told you!

yesterday, i received an owl form the ministry asking me to go in for an appointment of some sort. i haven't been there since leaving the aurora office a little over four years ago. so i went in today.

immediately i had hundreds of reporters wanting my comment on the recent disappearances. i told them that i had no idea what they were on about. it got so loud that i had to cast silencio maxima just to hear myself think.

the minister then came and we went to his office. Kingsley hasn't changed much in the last 19 years. he is still the same old coot. he told me that the auror office had been receiving threats about my family monthly, and that the sender wanted Draco and i to split. i was shocked, sure not everyone in wizarding Britain was pleased with my marriage to Draco, but still to actually call for us to divorce?

i asked Kingsley if this was related to the disappearances, and he wouldn't comment. i could read in his mind that he thought they were.

when i left his office the reporters were waiting for a comment so i lifted the spell and gave them a little information, but kept the threats about Draco and I to myself. the mental voice of a female reporter caught my attention, so i approached her.

it was my friend Luna, who i hadn't seen since my wedding to Ginny. we chatted for a few minutes then went to lunch. it was over lunch that i found out that the minister had kept things from me.

according to Luna, there is a group of magical folk who want the elder wand. i paled, the elder wand was in Dumbledore's grave at Hogwarts. but that wasn't all. this new group had a mysterious leader calling themselves the Dark Prince, and they apparently have a grudge against me personally.

Luna suggested I get the wand from where ever it lay hidden, that way it would be safe. i agreed so i sent a message via patronus to Mcgonagall asking if i could come to Hogwarts. after waiting a few minutes i got my reply. she had said yes. so i thanked Luna for lunch, and rushed to the nearest floo.

arriving in Mcgonagall's office i startled her. before she could ask i told her all that i knew, from both Luna and the minister. I then went to the marble tomb, opened it and retrieved the elder wand. it felt wrong holding this wand. after so many years it still felt wrong. but i couldn't risk it falling into the hands of this Dark prince person. I can handle the urge to fight the wand gives off, as I'm tired of fighting. After all i never had a real childhood, as i had a maniac after me.

after resealing the tomb, i headed back up to the castle, and something called me to the forest. i walked the same route as the night Voldemort killed me, and came across the clearing where i had dropped the resurrection stone. after searching for ten minutes i found it and slipped it in my pocket. i was amazed that it was still there after 19 years.

heading to my office i flooded home to find Draco sitting on the couch reading a letter. he looked up at me blankly and thrust the letter at me. i caught it and read:

"Dear Mr Malfoy,

I am writing to you on behalf of my client one Daphne Greengrass. this is a courtesy letter.

it seems that while you were married to her younger sister Astoria, a sister contract was signed by the sisters stating that if anything were to happen to Astoria or her sister the other would be placed in magical charge of their children.

upon discovery that her sister was dead, Ms Greengrass tried to contact you and failed. upon arriving at Malfoy manor, Ms Greengrass learned that you had moved to southern France to be closer to your mother.

as you lived in France the contact was broken temporarily. however when you returned to England, it was remade. your children are supposed to be in the magical care of Ms Greengrass.

Ms Greengrass intends to file legal proceedings and seek custody of your children.

please attend the court date noted at the bottom of this letter.

yours

Mr Alder Overnewton

of Obernewtyn, Wesson and sons. "

i looked at Draco. he was shaking and silently sobbing, so I went to him and sat on the couch, wrapping my arms around him. we sat there for the best part of two hours and then he sniffled and asked me what we were going to do.

i got up and flooded Hermione. when she answered i asked her if she could come through? she was there in ten seconds. when she asked what was wrong I gave her the letter then sat next to Draco and hugged him. the stress of potentially losing our children was getting to him, and i was starting to worry about the babies.

i gathered the children floo called Cissy asking if they could come, and after she said yes, i sent our children through.

i picked Draco up, and carried him to our room bridal style. after placing him on the bed i fished a dreamless sleep potion from the bathroom cabinet. he drank it and relaxed slightly.

after making sure he was asleep, I returned to find Hermione rereading the letter. "it doesn't make sense! why now? why not immediately upon their return from France?" she wondered aloud.

at my silence she asked me if i had any information, so for the second time that day i relayed all the stuff i gathered from the Minister and Luna. Hermione visibly played at the mention of the wand. when i told her that id picked up the resurrection stone she asked me to put it in a safe place.

i told her that i would and then asked what she thought of the letter. "it's very suspect. the timing is almost too coincidental to be an accident. as far as I know a sister contact cannot be remade after its been broken and they only last for five years, unless they are resigned. does Draco recall Astoria ever signing such a thing?" I didn't know.
