24th December 1984

7 hours and 36 minutes of a painful slow labour and Narcissa finally gave birth to a healthy kicking baby. At 29 weeks gestation, that baby was very lucky to have survived, weighing 2lb 3oz. The Healer and training Mediwitch on hand had worked extremely quickly to ensure the best survival of the newest member of the Malfoy family. The Mediwitch scooped her up and left the room. After a few hours of potions and vital checking, the screaming bundle was finally brought back to Narcissa and Lucius. Lucius quickly left Narcissa's side to gently take the pink bundle from the Mediwitch before walking back to their bed.

"Cissy, look. How beautiful is she?"

"Lucius she is just perfect."

"Did you have a name in mind dear?"

"No, however, seeing as though it is Yule tomorrow, she is now the brightest star in our house and she is our little miracle. How do you feel about Aurora?"

"Aurora? Aurora, just like our own ray of light." Lucius spoke to Aurora before handing her to Narcissa.

"I think we should bring in the four excited children and an excited Aunt who are hovering outside?"

Lucius chuckled and walked today, only opening the door ajar slightly.

"Would you like to meet the new baby?" He stood and saw their all eager faces.

"Is everything ok?" Bellatrix eyed her brother in law carefully with a hand each on Draco and Hermione's shoulders.

"Everything is absolutely fine, come and meet Aurora Malfoy." Lucius opened the door wide, Draco ran in and sat perfectly close next to his Mother. He took her free hand and kissed in gently, thanking her for this marvellous gift, clearly, his candle wish had come true.

"She is tiny." Draco spoke, stroking her tiny foot.

"She is my Dragon, Aurora is small as she was born very early, a whole 11 weeks early, she will be a little princess who needs a handsome Dragon to help look after her."

"Oh, I can be that Dragon Mummy, I promise." Draco beamed up as Narcissa held him close.

"I know you will be a perfect big brother my darling."

Hermione, Luna and Ginny had all decided that Draco had had enough time on their own as they all came cooing over the little bundle, Bellatrix quickly following, making sure all the girls were careful and did not fuss too much.

"Oh Cissy, congratulations, both of you, she is a warm welcome in the dark times over the last few years." Bella spoke staying rather cryptic so Hermione and Ginny would not catch on, Luna, on the other hand, was not only a seer but seemed to have the magical gift of reading auras.

"Have you told Father?" Harrison spoke from near the doorway, he had not moved from Lucius.

"Would you like to come with me to relay the good news?" Lucius put his hand on Harrison's shoulder whom only nodded.

Lucius bowed to his family in the room before walking alongside Harrison to the floo room, both of them walked with their hands behind their backs, as taught in pureblood society.

"Did you not want to meet your new cousin Harrison?" Lucius asked gently, he was not mad at all, not everyone liked babies, heck he was glad he was an only child as he hated babies when he was 5.

"It's not that, she will be powerful you know. She will be more powerful than Bellatrix, maybe almost than Father."

"Why would you say such things?" Lucius stopped abruptly, not wanting to raise his anger, would the boy know what would happen if The Dark Lord felt threatened by his child.

"Simple deduction Uncle Lucius, Father knows it too, do not fret, we do not think she will match Father, we think she will be powerful in academics like Aunt Cissa, we have studied your family history."

Lucius almost felt afraid once he opened the floo room to find Tom already standing in front of them.

"Father, we were just coming to ring you."

"I know Harrison, why don't you tell Bellatrix it is the time she took you all out for Ice cream, before Yule, inform her it is my treat."

Harrison bowed and ran from the room. Lucius looked at Tom.

"M..My Lord?"

"Quit your stumbling Lucius, I come in peace." Tom rolled his eyes, he had only harmed one baby and he had no plans to harm another, once he heard the pop of apparition he walked with Lucius to where Narcissa stirred whilst Aurora laid wide awake in her Moses Basket.

"Harrison spoke of you looking at my family tree with him."

"Yes, did you know your family only stick marriage within the Sacred 28."

"Of course, it is to ensure a pureblood."

"You are aware you are all related within the sacred 28."

"That, that I was, However, I had fallen too deep for Narcissa and I had no mind to cut it off."

"That I am glad, although that is the exact reason why Malfoy's have had only one child in generations." Tom bent down to pick up the tiny bundle from her bed.

"Squibs?"

"Have all born from another woman, not a spouse."

"So your saying I have to allow my children to marry muggle borns?" Lucius almost felt dirty saying that.

"No, definitely not, I am saying Draco must marry outside the sacred 28 to secure an heir, any other pureblood family or a half-blood family would work jut as well."

"The Greengrass family have already approached me with a contract."

"If I were you, I would not. They are within the Sacred 28. You will be thanking me when Draco has many children."

"If your theory is true my lord, how have we managed to conceive Aurora?"

"Every 300 years or so a true match were to be formed, I have no idea why a true match has to be formed but from looking at your history Aurora will be your last child."

"Do you know if having a girl is of importance, the last girl born to the Malfoy family was over a century ago."

"The last legitimate girl born to the Malfoy family was over a century ago, your Father had a squib by muggle woman, one girl. The woman is a millionaire by right and a scientist. What my point is for Lucius that Aurora will be powerful, she will best everyone in her year academically because it is proven that Malfoy woman are very clever, along with the cleverness of her Mother. Both your children are going to be young adults you both can be proud of." Tom never took his eyes from the baby in his arms.

Lucius made a mental note to speak with his wife if his lord was correct the Greengrass family were definitely out of the question. He did not want Draco or Aurora to go through the heartache him and Narcissa had endured. He needed to see who would be loyal or at least neutral to their lord's cause.
