Sadly I own nothing, all rights go to our Queen JKR.

September 12TH, 1985.

A/N We are having major WiFi problems in my area, I apologise for the long wait, enjoy the next two chapters.

I have no Beta, all mistakes are my own.

Today was the day that Regulus Malfoy would be discharged from the hospital, after 11 days in special care keeping an eye on him, his discharge was a warm welcome. When he was born, Andromeda had performed a general check up and found a Septal Defect, this was a hole inside one of the walls that separate the four chambers of the heart. A simple surgery fixed it, however, it meant that he would need to be checked by a healer every 6 months to keep an eye on his development.

"He is perfect Cissa, you did very well, I am extremely proud." Lucius kissed his wife's head as he had a few more minutes with his youngest son.

"Is he? You mean it?" She looked up to him.

"Of course I do dear, he will be loved just as much as Draco and Aurora, he will want for nothing and he will receive the best education even if that means not going to Hogwarts for him."

"What makes you think he will not be magical?"

"Andromeda mentioned that not many children in the wizarding world are born with the same condition, they are sent away." Lucius sighed sitting on the side of the bed.

"You won't?" She gasped at her husband before looking at their son.

"No Narcissa, please, you misunderstood me. You have no need to worry, I have no intentions of sending him away, he will grow up with us all at our manor, he will have plenty of friends and support and be taught how to handle Malfoy Enterprise just as well as Draco, his older brother's protective 'instinct kicked in' once I informed him the extra help Regulus will need."

"I love you, Lucius."

"I love you too. I need to tell you something."

"Yes?" She turned to look at him again.

"Rosmerta gave birth to Amelie the same night you gave birth to Regulus."

"How wonderful, why have you waited so long to tell me? I have not sent a welcome gift, how rude of us, what must they think!"

"Cissy, calm down, we have one at home waiting for your seal of approval, I thought you could add a note mentioning Regulus is here."

"Why have you not told our family? Are you ashamed already?"

"No. Of course I am not ashamed of him." Lucius stood away from the bed and took a deep breath. "I was unaware of what to say, dear. Severus, Bellatrix, Tom and Sirius are the only adults who know."

Narcissa smiled and grabbed her Husbands hand in reassurance and understanding.

"Once I am home this evening I will send a birth announcement to everyone. How is everyone at home?"

"Everybody is missing you, especially Draco. The children have started on this years studying, Pansy and Theodore have joined them."

"How wonderful for them. I have missed my little Dragon too. How are Pansy and Theodore fairing?"

"Very well actually, Tom and Severus have permission from Thoros to speak with his younger brother at Durmstrang, it is his belief that is where Igor Karkaroff may be."

"Speak with or interrogate?"

"No my dear, only to speak with. Tom is not sure if that is where Karkaroff is hiding."

"What will Tom do if he finds Igor?"

"I am not sure my darling. He should not have been in hiding. Antonin travelled back to Russia this morning to ask around his friends and family out there that may not have been as forthcoming with information with Tom present. He mentioned he may bring his Mother back for another visit. I offered our manor, however, he did not want to impose knowing Regulus would be home."

"How kind of you. He and his Mother are more than welcome, although if they wish to keep their own space we must have them over for tea before she goes back."


Once Narcissa had floo'd home from the Hospital, Lucius helped her to bed and carried their black haired blue eyed baby boy to their room. A group of little steps followed behind him, Lucius grinned at the eagerness of them all. He settled his wife into bed before handing the baby to Tom who seemed to be the first waiting to greet the newest Malfoy. Hermione, Harrison, Draco and Aurora were all peering around to scout out the room.

"You are very lucky Narcissa, Regulus Marvolo is a beautiful baby." Tom looked up at the new parents after holding him slightly before allowing Hermione to cuddle with her new cousin. Harrison only looked on, he liked babies, just when they did things and not slept all the time. He knew he would have plenty of time to play with his new cousin when he would begin crawling and playing knights with him and Draco.

"Thank you, Tom, you do not mind us using your middle name do you?"

"I am honoured you thought to do so. When are you allowed to check his core?" Tom asked getting straight to the point.

Tom once thought of his middle name with disdain, a useless excuse for a wizard he had been named after, he could now chanel into love for Regulus.

"The healer recommended not to check his core until 5, or before if he has shown accidental magic."

"He has the black features, Cissy." Bellatrix grinned before gently jumping on the bed to speak with her sister.

"Yes, both Draco and Aurora have Malfoy Looka and Regulus looks a mix of both his namesakes."

"Hey, that means he will be the most handsome man in creation." Sirius joked from the door holding the most beautiful shade of blue roses Narcissa had ever seen.

"Congratulations Cissa, these are for you, I have bought him a few outfits that Tink has washed and will show you once you're ready."

"Sirius, thank you." She air-kissed his cheek before taking the flowers to smell and handed them to her Husband.

"Mummy, our brother is just perfect." Draco smiled whilst he was now holding Regulus from next to his Father with Aurora sat next to him peering at the baby from her position on Lucius's knee.

"I am very glad you think so my Dragon." Narcissa added whilst trying to stifle a yawn.

"Right now then everyone, do you think the little ones would like to play outside? Draco, Tink made sure no Spiders are on your swings." Lucius made the children excited to play outside so Narcissa could rest.

The adults in the room did not need to be asked, they understood the hint when Lucius was having the children leave the room. He stepped towards Narcissa and tucked her in, kissing her brow gently and took Regulus so she could rest and recover from surgery.

After an hour Narcissa had slept, she felt completely drained but wide awake at the same time. Andromeda and the Medi Healer advised no heavy duties for at least 6 weeks, surely walking to her writing desk would not be too heavy? She knew she had no choice but to listen to Andromeda, her older sister had already threatened to stick her to the bed if she was to open up her stitches. Deciding it would be a good way to spend a little bit of her free time she made her way to the desk. Narcissa sat for a while thinking what she should write in the birth announcement, should she add of his extra needs? If only Luna was here to help. Now Narcissa knew she needed sleep again if she was calling on strength from a 5-year-old! Putting quill to parchment she wrote;

Lord & Lady Malfoy, Young Lord Malfoy and Young Lady Malfoy,

would like to invite you to join in a celebration of the birth of;

Lord Regulus Marvolo Malfoy.

Born: September 1st,

Weighing: 5lb 11 oz,

Born of: Black hair and blue eyes.

We ask that no visitors come unless invited or asked to do so as Lady Malfoy is recovering from Surgery.

Checking the parchment she then used the 'Gemino' charm to create several copies before sending one off to, Rabastan and William, Rodolphus and Rosmerta, The Daily Prophet, Antonin, Lord and Lady Parkinson, Lord Nott, Lady Longbottom and finally to Fenrir and his pack. Sending them to the owlery, Narcissa decided an extra 30 minutes of sleep would be best for her before Regulus would need a feed.
