Chapter 6

He watched as Hermione slept with her head in his lap. He was tired and knew he should be going home, but he didn't have the conscience to wake her up. Looking at her, he understood what his son could like about her. As he got to know her better, he understood that her character could also be something that made him so close to her.

He sighed as he felt himself falling asleep. He slid his hand under her knees and arms. Despite the increasingly advanced pregnancy, he lifted it without any problems. Hugging her, he confidently carried her to her bed.

A smile appeared on Lucius' face as he realized she wouldn't let him go. - "I have to go." He whispered in her ear as he leaned in to kiss her cheek for goodbye.

To his surprise, the half-conscious witch pulled him to her so much that he landed on the bed next to her. A few seconds passed and he was in bed with Hermione Granger lying on his chest and muttering something unintelligible under her breath. He melted as he realized there was a touch of desperation in the way she was holding him.

He thought nothing would happen if he stayed a little longer. However, just this moment was enough for him to lose with fatigue and fall asleep outside the house again.

"Tell me I misheard." - Narcissa growled at Severus who was standing in front of her. - "Tell me that my son is wrong and he didn't see my husband having an affair with the missing Miss Granger, who also happens to be Draco's girlfriend."

Lady Malfoy paced nervously around the Tea Room, ignoring the two wizards watching her. She had her suspicions, but she didn't think it was about a woman twice her own age.

"I saw them eating cake together. I haven't seen them in bed together!" - her son shouted with a resentment so palpable in his voice that it chilled not only her but also Severus.

Three hours later, the three former Slytherins showed up at an unknown house. However, from the pictures hanging on the walls, they quickly realized that the house must have been part of the Malfoy estate.

"Narcissa, Draco... Have you been here before?" - Severus asked uncertainly. He had a feeling that by helping his godson, he put his friend in trouble.

Before Lady Malfoy answered the question asked by the younger wizard, she looked around the room lit by the light of strange-looking lamps. She was surprised to think that this place was so much cozier than the house she had lived in since marrying Lucius. She knew she wanted her home to look like this. - "I've never been here. And you, Draco?"

"Neither. I never knew this place. Do we start here or do we go to the next floor?"

"Didn't you say you didn't see them in bed together?" - Narcissa hissed to her son just after all three guests entered the last room. A room that turned out to be a bedroom full of books.

At first the witch recognized the figure of her husband lying on the bed. At first glance, she realized that he wasn't alone in that bed. She felt tears well up in her eyes as she saw Lucius's arm pressing against him the body of a girl who was probably Miss Granger. She turned to her son for a moment and saw her own sadness reflected in his eyes.

Draco was shaking as if trying to hold back his growing pain and anger.

Severus Snape had always considered the Malfoy family to be drama queens. Hysterical, fond of being in the spotlight and showing emotions like the heroes of Latin soap operas. That I why he looked at the calmness of his friend's wife and son with surprise.

A calmness that lasted a little too long.

Contrary to what he had promised himself when he was kissed by Lucius during his first and last attempt to wake up the stubborn blond wizard, he confidently walked over to the bed and pulled the blanket off him. Fortunately, it turned out that both the overgrown ferret and Miss Granger were fully clothed.

What unnerved him was the fact that Miss Granger was pregnant. Very pregnant. He sighed, leaned over and whispered quickly into his ear. - "Narcissa is here."

He watched with satisfaction as his friend woke up in fright falling from the bed in which he had been lying a moment ago. And he was surprised to see that the first thing Lucius cared about was to appease the witch the whole magical world was looking for.

"Get out!" - he growled, pointing at the door. - "Get out! Immediately! We'll talk downstairs."

He was furious. Not just his family's unexpected intrusion into his private asylum. He was furious, because Severus' presence indicated one thing. He helped them. He went to the wardrobe and took out one of his robes. After the time he spent here, he did not feel embarrassed that he shared a wardrobe with his potentially future daughter-in-law.

"I'm not going to repeat myself again." - this time he whispered and quickly approached the still sleeping Hermione. The longer she was pregnant, the deeper her sleep became. Lately, he'd noticed that he really had to try to wake her up. - "It's okay." - looking all the time at his wife leaving the bedroom, he leaned over the young witch and placed a kiss on her forehead. - "You can sleep on."

After a while, he ran down the stairs and as soon as he saw Narcissa, he asked - "What are you doing here?"

He didn't expect that instead of answering, his beloved would slap him.

"What are we doing here?" - She wiped the tears streaming down her face. "What are you doing here? And with our son's girlfriend?"

She was disgusted that she saw no sign of remorse in her husband's attitude.

"I have care of the mother of our grandchildren. Is this some kind of crime?" - Just as Draco passed out, she saw Lucius clutching his forehead and snorting. - "By Salazar, I forgot that Hermione didn't tell him she was expecting his children. Narcissa, why are you so pale? Is it because our future daughter-in-law is carrying twins?"

"Future daughter-in-law? Twins?"

This time she fainted. The last thing she heard before she completely lost consciousness was a question - "What did I say this time?"

I wasn't sure about this chapter. I mean, I like it but it's supposed to be a comedy and everyone has a different sense of humor. So... Did you like this chapter? Regards, Katie Krum
