Drunaforever: I get what you mean but I like the idea of Lucius getting distanced from the Dark Lord and Bellatrix getting jealous. ;)

Blaise and Theo quickly went and reported to Voldemort before returning to their friend and going to the sitting room. They chatted about various things before Theo finally asked something that had been on his mind for quite a while.

"Draco why did you have a kid with Luna Lovegood? I never knew you loved her."

Draco paled and turned away, not sure of how to answer that question. 5 minutes passed in silence.

"Nevermind. You don't have to tell if you don't want to." Theo said.

"No, it's okay. I do want to tell but I don't know where to start. I never loved Luna before; you guys remember how I used to tease her at Hogwarts." Draco looked back at Theo and Blaise.

"Yeah but the kid..." Blaise's voice trailed off.

Draco took a deep breath and looked down. He knew he had to tell someone this and telling his best friends seemed like the right thing to do.

"When Luna was captured, she was thrown in the dungeon. Aunt Bellatrix tortured her to get information out of her but she never broke down. She was hurt a lot and once when Aunt Bellatrix got carried away, she almost bled to death. But Mother helped her and I knew Mother liked her. She helped Luna as best as she could. The Dark Lord was amazed at how talented I was in Dark Magic and he appointed me his top general. I hated it but I could do nothing. One day, Aunt Bellatrix was torturing Luna in front of Voldemort and she got carried away again. Luna was barely conscious and she was bleeding a lot. Mother had left the room since she was crying and I felt no better. That's when Luna used a non-verbal Expelliarmus on Aunt Bellatrix without even a wand. Aunt Bellatrix's wand flew out of her hand and Voldemort was amazed at Luna's skill. That was when he gave Luna back her wand and then he fought her. She was weak but she fought very well and the Dark Lord was impressed but I didn't know what he was planning. That night, he called me to the dining room at midnight and he told me what to do. He wanted me to... to have a baby with Luna since we were both powerful in magic and obviously our child would too. I was about to protest when he threatened me with my mother's life. That's when I knew I had no choice and I had to do this."

Draco paused for a breath and looked at Blaise and Theo. They were wide eyed and looked shocked. They had no idea which circumstances Scorpius was born at. Draco continued after a moment.

"I took Luna into my bedroom that night and I told her what the Dark Lord wanted. She begged me not to do it. She was scared and I knew I had to do it but I gave her one night to think about it. I forgot to mention that Voldemort was threatening with my mother's life. The next day, when the Dark Lord asked me if we had started trying for a baby, I told him that I was giving Luna time and he got angry. He used Crucio two times on Mother to teach me a lesson. My father begged me to have a baby with Luna. He was afraid for Mother and I understood. That night I told Luna that he was threatening me with my Mother. She fell silent. That night we did it and I still remember Luna's screams. She didn't like it at all and she cried through it. I was no better. I just wanted to die then. We did it again the next night and then the next. Each time I thought of my mother's safety. On the fourth day, I called a healer because Luna was feeling dizzy. That's when we found out that she was going to have Scorpius. Afterwards, we tried not to think of our past. Even before Scorpius was born, Luna loved him. She was the best mother for him and I couldn't have chosen anyone better."

Draco let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair. Blaise and Theo were staring at him in disbelief.

"So... You don't love Luna?" Blaise asked.

"No, I didn't before but now... now I think I do." Draco answered.

"Whoa man, I had no idea that you guys went through all of that. I would've cracked." Theo said.

Blaise nodded in agreement. Draco bit his lip.

"You know, I wish our fathers weren't Death Eaters. Maybe then we wouldn't have been pushed to become Death Eaters too." Blaise commented.

"Yeah, the Dark Lord is just using us." Theo agreed.

"I just want to get out of here now. But I guess that's kind of impossible." Draco said.

The three Slytherins sat in silence before Draco stood up. "I think we should call it a night. I'm tired and tomorrow's a big day. Crabbe and Goyle are becoming Death Eaters."

"Unlike us, they're becoming Death Eaters because they like Voldemort." Blaise shuddered.

"I guess they always loved the Dark Lord." Theo said in disgust.

"Well, whatever. Come on, I'll show you to your bedrooms. They're right next to mine."

Theo and Blaise stood up and followed Draco up to the bedrooms where they would be staying. Draco showed them his room just in case they needed anything. They said good night and entered their respectable rooms. Draco entered his and Luna's room to find Luna singing Scorpius a lullaby while sitting on the rocking chair and rocking herself slowly. Luna was wearing her nightgown and Scorpius was wearing his PJs. Her soft voice filled the room with a warm glow.

Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetops
when the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
and down will come baby, cradle and all.

Baby is drowsing, cosy and fair
Mother sits near, in her rocking chair
forward and back, the cradle she swings
and though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings.

From the high rooftops, down to the sea
No one's as dear, as baby to me
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright
now fast asleep, until morning light.

Draco leaned against the door frame and listened to her sing. Her voice was beautiful. Luna looked down and noticed that Scorpius was fast asleep. She snuggled him closer and kissed his cheek. She slowly got up and walked to the bed and placed Scorpius in the middle. He let out a small sigh. Luna took his baby blanket and pulled it up to Scorpius's chin. That's when Draco walked up next to her.

"He's so beautiful when he sleeps." Draco whispered.

"He's a beautiful baby." Luna whispered back.

"We created him. Amazing."

"I know. It really is." Luna laid her head on Draco's chest and they watched their baby sleep.
