They all stared at Draco in silence, neither of them moving. Draco continued to breathe hard, his eyes still not moving from Voldemort's. Ginny pushed Luna aside who was blocking her at that moment.
"Draco!" Ginny shouted at him. Draco gave her a quick glance, her face seemed confused, worried and scared all at the same time. Draco looked back at Voldemort who at this point was already pointing his wand at him.
"What is this?" Voldemort hissed.
"Luna. I need you to get Ginny out of here now." Draco said in a dark low tone his eyes still set on Voldemort. Luna stood there shocked. She didn't know what to say or how to react in this situation. As a matter of fact, what she felt like doing right now was to continuously poking Draco in the face, because she couldn't believe what she was staring at.
"Luna!" Draco barked. Luna jumped back a little then grabbed Ginny's arm, but she quickly pulled her arm away.
"No, I'm not leaving without my baby and I'm not leaving without you!" Ginny said as she ran towards Draco. Suddenly, Lucius ran up behind her and grabbed her from the waist holding a knife to her neck.
"Ahh!" Ginny screamed.
"Let her go now!" Draco barked.
"Let us do what we came here to do Draco and I will!" Lucius said.
"Over my fucking dead body, unlike you I'm actually here to protect my child!" Draco said as he growled at Lucius. Lucius sneered at him.
"This is for your own good Draco." Lucius lifted the knife, ready to bring it down on Ginny but before he could even do it, multiple flashes of light emerged from the ceiling and flew around the Chamber.
"Its the Order!" Voldemort shouted. Lucius looked up quickly, and as soon as he did, Draco growled then jumped on him fiercely with one quick movement. He pushed Ginny out of the way pinning Lucius to the ground.
"Blaise, we're leaving." Voldemort hissed as he now saw the lights fading to reveal Harry, Ron. Hermione, Snape, McGonagall, Mad- Eye Moody, Tonks, Sirius, Lupin, Kingsley and Dumbledore all of their wands at the ready. They then both dissapparated out of the Chamber.
"My Lord!" Lucius yelled for help as he lifted his head, but Draco sinked his claws into both of his arms and pushed him back down to the ground. Lucius yelped out in pain and began to quiver with fear.
"Draco, please…don't do this…your my son." He whispered.
Draco stared down into the eyes of his father, seeing the fear on his face, hearing his heart pound harder and faster with every breath he took, smelling the scent of his blood strangely filled his body with excitement. Both ends of his mouth grew into a twisted smile.
"…This may hurt a little." He growled, and with a blink of an eye, Draco sank his teeth into Lucius's neck tearing away at it. Lucius screamed out loudly in agonizing pain twisting and turning until eventually his body stood still. Draco slowly got up from the ground and stared at the people who could not take their eyes off of him. Everyone stood their shocked, no one dared said a word as they saw the panting, blood dripping face of Draco Malfoy. Draco glanced at Ginny who seemed to be in more pain as she was being lifted slowly by Luna and Hermione.
"You need to get her to St. Mungo's." He said in a deep voice.
Hermione looked at Draco for a moment then nodded her head as all three of them dissapparated to St. Mungo's. Draco winced in pain as he felt himself change back into his human form. He stared at his hands and then sighed with relief once he realized he was back to normal. He looked at Harry and Ron who still seemed shocked at what they just saw, neither of them said a word. Dumbledore then cleared his throat to catch their attention.
"I think you boys should go check on Miss Weas… I mean, Mrs. Malfoy." Dumbledore said with a smile. Harry and Ron said nothing but just did as they were told and dissapparated from the Chamber. McGonagall, Mad- Eye Moody, and Tonks, following behind them. Dumbledore then turned to Sirius, Lupin and Kingsley.
"I'm going to need the three of you to find Voldemort's whereabouts, that child has a strong aura it should be easy for you to track them down." He said. They all nodded in agreement then soon disappeared.
"I'll go with them." Draco said
"I think its best if you remain here, Mr. Malfoy." Snape said.
"Need I remind you that my son was just taken from me!" Draco shouted.
"And we will make sure that he returns to you and your wife safely, but in the mean time, It's best if you just keep yourself safe." Dumbledore said.
"Oh, I can take care of my self, I know that I will be fine, but as for my son, I can't really be too sure on that seeing as though he's in the hands of two murderous people who are trying to use him for his powers!"
"Mr. Malfoy please, you don't understand how dangerous this can be." Snape said.
"No, I don't think you two understand the problem that's going on here, and you know what, I don't give a shit. So whether you like it or not, I am going to find my son…and kill Voldemort and Zabini in the process." Draco said. And before Snape could reply, he vanished from the Chamber through a puff of black smoke.
"Are we going to just let him go?" Snape asked.
"For now there is nothing else we can do, Draco's rage is effecting his powers and he needs to take sometime to control them, whatever he did to brake his curse, it has now unleashed his true power." Dumbledore said calmly. Snape looked down at Lucius's bloody body seeing the damage Draco had done.
"I fear for the worse Severus." Dumbledore whispered.
Ginny screamed loudly as she laid down on the hospital bed at St. Mungo's. Hermione and Luna by her side. Harry and Ron had reached the Hospital a few minutes after they had checked in. Luna stepped out of the room and walked over to Harry and Ron where they sat impatiently in the waiting room. They stood up quickly when they saw her coming.
"Well?" Ron said.
"She uh…she's not done."
"What, what do you mean she's not done?" Harry said.
"She's…having another baby" Luna said. Ron slowly sat back down in his seat.
"Bloddy Hell." He said.
"Hermione is in the room with her right now along with the doctor and the nurse." Luna said. They all stood silently, hearing Ginny's screams through the room.
"Luna, what does Voldemort want with Ginny's baby?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, but whatever it is…it won't be anything good." Luna said.
A few hours later Ginny slowly opened her eyes to see her whole family sitting in the room. They all smiled at her as she slowly sat up on her bed.
"Ginny hunny, you should rest more." Mrs Weasley said as she went over towards Ginny.
"I'm fine mum, is she okay?" Ginny croaked.
"She's fine sweetheart, perfectly healthy with all ten fingers and toes." Mr. Weasley said. Ginny sighed with relief, she was just glad that that was over with. The pain was incredibly awful and she never wanted to go through that again. Ginny looked around the room and notice someone was missing.
"Where's Draco?" Ginny asked. Everyone looked at each other nervously and shifted uncomfortably.
"Um, he's not here Ginny." Hermione said
"What do you mean he's not here, where is he?"
"He's gone"
Everyone looked over towards the door to see Snape walk in. Dumbledore followed in behind him.
"If we could have a moment with Ginevra, we would like to inform her with the news" Dumbledore said. Everyone began to leave the room.
"Except you four." Snape said calmly towards Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Luna. They all looked at each other then sat back down in their seats.
"Where is he?" Ginny said again.
"He left, he's going after Voldemort to get your son back." Voldemort said calmly.
"And you let him, how could you let him go after him alone, how could you let him just leave?"
"We warned him not to, we told him it would be safer to remain in Hogwarts. You should already know Mr. Malfoy by now that he's too stubborn to listen." Ginny glared at Snape.
"I don't care, you didn't try hard enough, he's going to get himself killed!" Ginny said.
"I mean, when you think about it Ginny, after a transformation like that…I'm pretty sure Draco can handle himself." Ron said. Ginny gave Ron an evil look.
"These powers are new to him Ron he wouldn't know how to handle them, you saw how he killed his father, do you honestly think he can control himself?"
"We've already sent people to locate Voldemort's whereabouts Ginevra you shouldn't worry, we will make sure the child will be safe."
"But he's not safe, my baby was taken from me, and now my husband is gone." Ginny said. She then slowly got out of her bed. "Im going after him." Snape blocked her from going towards the door.
"Move." Ginny said warningly.
"Ginny, please be reasonable about this, you just delivered two babies, you need to relax-"
"I'm fine Hermione, I'm not going to let him do this alone."
"Ginny, don't you get it if Draco wanted to be here he would be here, he's going to be too caught up in finding Voldemort and Blaise."
"So what he's too caught up to see his own wife?" Ginny said. She slowly sat back down on the bed.
"How can Blaise do this to us…to me… he's Draco's best friend." Everyone stayed silent until Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"We will make sure Mr. Malfoy keeps himself out of trouble, In the mean time you should rest." Dumbledore gave Ginny a slight nod and with that, he left the room along with Snape behind him.
"He'll come back right?" Everyone gave Ginny a sympathetic look, Ginny knew the answer to her question, but she wanted to hear it from them if she couldn't hear it from Draco himself.
"No…I don't think he will Gin." Hermione said. Tears filled Ginny's eyes and slowly started to trickle down her cheeks.
"He can't do this." She said. Hermione gently gave Ginny a hug as she cried silently into her chest. Luna sighed and turned towards Harry.
"I'm gonna go to the nursery and check on the baby." She said. Harry nodded his head, then Luna gave him a slight peck on the cheek and left the room. As she walked towards the Nursery she saw a tall figure standing out in the hall looking into a wide window where all the babies were being kept in the room behind it. Draco silently stared at all the crying babies, except for one who was silently sleeping.
"She's beautiful isn't she?" Luna said as she stood next to him watching his daughter. Draco didn't even bother to turn his head as he already knew who it was.
"Is she really mine?" Draco said. Luna smiled.
"She is."
"What's her name?"
"Ginny didn't get to name her yet, the birth happened all so fast as soon as Ginny got here. She passed out right after they delivered her." Draco slightly turned his head.
"Is she alright?"
"She's… she's hanging in there. She is just trying to accept that you might not come back… I mean… will you come back?" Luna asked. Draco turned his head back to the sleeping baby. Her chest rising and falling slowly.
"I don't know." He said. Luna stared at him searching for a different answer but he just remained silent. She turned back to the window.
"So thats it then, no goodbyes, just up and leave-"
"They took my son Luna." Draco snapped.
"You're not the only one that's hurting here Draco, you have a wife in the other room that's hurting just as much as you are, as a matter of fact, she's hurting ten times worse, because not only did she just lose a son, but she's lost a husband as well. So for once don't make this all about you, its not like your curse made you leave, you chose to leave."
"What was I suppose to do, just stand back and watch my son get taken by Voldemort and my best friend?"
"Draco-"
"You know what, you don't even get to talk, when you get a kid for the first time and have someone just take them away from you then you can talk to me, other wise you have nothing to say to me on this matter because you don't know how I feel right now!"
"So your just gonna leave and pretend like none of this happened, like this isn't real!" Luna said as she pointed to his daughter.
"You think that I want to leave them?" Draco said.
"That's what your doing isn't it?"
Draco sighed. He knew Luna was right. But as his role as a father now, he couldn't just stand back and not do anything.
"I thought that during the wedding when Ginny was still pregnant that I could protect her when they decide to come for the baby. But when that day actually came, I couldn't do anything about it. Do you even know how it feels to have something just ripped away from you without even getting a chance to see or hold it?"He asked. Luna stayed silent.
"This whole thing was my fault all because I gave in to my curse, if I had fought a little harder that night with my father, we wouldn't even be in this situation right now, Ginny would have had at least a somewhat normal life and I would've still be at her side-"
"Thats not true-"
"It is, face it, I'm a failure to Ginny I ruined everything for her, how can I turn back now without making things right?"
"You think finding your son and killing Voldemort by yourself would make things right. Draco, you can't do this alone, we could help you.
"You just don't get it Luna, this is something I have to do alone, this is the only way that I can actually protect her…especially from me, I have to control what I am now, I won't forgive myself if anyone else I care about ends up getting hurt. Ginny will understand soon, when I get our son back we'll be a family again, everything would turn out right, you'll see." Draco said. He then watched his sleeping daughter one last time before turning on his heel, he then stopped and looked back at Luna.
"Selene."
"What?"
"Have Ginny name her Selene, I've always wanted to name the baby that, if it turned out to be a girl." He said. Luna looked at him for a moment and then nodded her head. He gave her one of his famous smirks then vanished through black smoke. Luna turned back towards the wide window and smiled.
"Sleep well…Selene."
