A/N The disclosures continue and Lucius is finding his inner Dad.

The Father of the Bride

"Again, I cannot marry the ferret, oops, my dear brother, a bit tacky don't you agree? And still what did your wife do?"

"Yes, I never finished," Narcissa jumped in, "Lucius, love, I was furious one month left to our wedding, and I heard you were threatening suicide if Nanette was not found. Armand,your third or was it fourth cousin's son, was upset over his traitor non-wife. He never bounced back after Henri was born when she left with her real husband. Well…we, ahem, comforted each other a few times, no, no more lies, it lasted till the wedding day. "

Narcissa didn't look one bit sorry, Armand was truly a good lover and Lucius wasn't the only one hiding old loves, "Yes, Draco is Armand's and also a Malfoy. Draco has actually inherited from his grandfather who knew, and they are nearly as rich as you. And no, I didn't know I was with child until two weeks into our marriage. And about Bella, it wasn't my fault that she ran Nanette away. Did she know about your daughter? I don't know."

There she was safe, Bella was dead and hopefully Rodolphus would keep his mouth shut. She wasn't so sure about the last, the brothers Lestrange really hated Bella and now that they were after Andromeda, they had a conscience. Oh dear, they were guests, how to keep them quiet?

Remus kept shaking his head and laughing. Sirius would be rolling on the floor, what a nest of snakes. At least Nanette was a Gryffindor thanks to her mother.

Lucius shrugged his shoulders; it all worked out for him, sort of. Almost all but for his Nannette who looked so yummy, "Remus, please, let me walk my daughter. You will have other children and probably a daughter, please?"

Hermione couldn't believe this lot, they confessed musical parental chairs and all was well and done. Marrying Draco was a piece of junk.

Remus kept shaking his head and laughing some more. "Remus cut it out and help me instead."

"No Kitten can't do," he answered, looked around, and laughed some more.

"Whatever, mother help me change my hair back, I don't want people to think…" the hair refused any glamour, once the Malfoy poison manifested, it stayed.

Lucius was over the moon, he couldn't wait to tell everyone one, "My dear why change it? This way everyone will know. The envy of everyone when they know the truth. Their faces when they find out."

Exactly her concern, and Hermione was desperate that she was the way she now looked, her old-self with the Malfoy coloring. "If you tell anyone they will think that I was and am, a fake."

She was also a snake and she had to hide it, "Please nobody out of us can know. Please, please, at least for today help me to hide it." She was getting a bit hysterical.

Draco was getting anxious and had heard about the growing crowd with his bride. Nothing could happen to his sweet little bird, the object of his undying lust. What if that dry Muggle had produced a contract to take her away? He ran to check.

Soon he was in the side room and heard half of it. No way, Mimi the heir? But before getting upset he smiled; now, now he had inherited from his grandfather, hmm. Not bad at all and once they were married what was hers was also his.

So he shrugged his shoulders and remembered, Astoria's match was brilliant. They found her a sheep farmer wizard in a remote area, he wanted to have at least 10 children. He laughed with gusto, yes ,yes, all was well. Granted the chap was not a monster but well, he was Vince's cousin, a doppelgänger of his dear departed friend. He snickered, ah, Mimi snickered like his dad, life was great.

He went into the room and if she looked hot before, she now was heart stopping, "Hi dear Sis," he smiled, "or are we kissing cousins? I am all for a little incest." And right in front of everyone he walked towards her, waiting was for the birds. He took her in his arms and with his experienced moves, pulled the witch into an expert embrace and bent her, she is really a tiny witch, he thought right before his lips sought hers.

Never had such skilled lips touched hers, not that he was way too experienced, simply, she was deliciously his. The world around faded, their lips touched, their tongues met and their bodies melted into each other's.

An upset, overprotective father who had just a day before told Draco to spank her and shag her, crossed the distance in two steps and tapped Draco's shoulder. He was frowning, "Enough, enough, Draco stop this immediately," of course it was Lucius, "easy there. No touching until you marry, Draco, I still love you, but she is my daughter, and you are still a Malfoy, I know what is going thru your mind, nothing, just her." They both chuckled; a chuckle that others deemed a bit lewd.

Apparently Lucius was also one of the others, the ones that thought the chuckle had been a bit lewd. "Ahem, Draco, erase any dirty thoughts about my daughter until the vows are said," he stopped. He suddenly wondered if the wedding was too hasty, the contract with Wilbur still had a couple of months. Maybe Wilbur was a better choice, he wondered.

"Everyone stop it, someone close the door fast," Lucius ordered, and better, he twisted his hand and shut the door right on the faces of several people. He then separated Draco from his new-found heir, and got in between the to-be-married couple.

Draco didn't like Lucius expression, no idea, but it wasn't good. Hermione was still dazed touching her lips, she had never been in this state from just a kiss.

"Now what, " Narcissa knew him enough to see the snake who made impulsive decisions and worried. The way he was looking at Hermione she had only seen once, the day Draco was born. Lucius had a weakness, children, the reason Tedd Lupin adored his uncle. And for all practical purposes she was his new child.

"I think this marriage is way too hurried, my daughter isn't sure, and I am not convinced that Draco is the best choice." He looked at Draco, "Son I do love you, you are my son and I know you well. You had too many witches, and just a week ago you were, ahem, with Miss Greegrass." He was sanctimonious and full of father's righteousness, the most dangerous kind of snake.

Draco thought this wasn't real, "Dad, wait, less than a day ago you were telling me to," he stopped at Lucius' stern look and hard eyes, "to, to, ah yes, to marry her as fast as I could, and now what? "

Remus guffaws were making Lucius mad, and he tried a killer look that didn't have effect on him. "Now we need to call off this wedding, let Theo marry earlier. We need to discuss the marriage settlement…"

"Wait a second there, and what of the marriage decree?"

Lucius grimaced, he couldn't very well tell his daughter that it was all fixed, not a good way to start a father and daughter relationship. What to do, he needed a way out. He really thought Draco wasn't good enough. What father in his right mind would allow his daughter to marry a Black? Never mind he'd married one and had been fairly happy with her until less than hour before.

Nanette moved forward, she had seen her daughter's reaction to Draco's kiss, and she didn't want another scandal. Lucius was about to ruin a lifetime relationship with his son, because that was what Draco was.

She placed her hand on his arm and both felt the impact of their touch. It was the moment when the last of his father's magic disintegrated into smithereens, poof.

His love for her came back in full force, and he feared for his future, forgetting crucial details. "Lucius you are acting rash, you love Draco and nobody is perfect. And do you know the best part? You don't lose a daughter you gain a son you already know, what could be better?"

Draco liked Hermione's mother on the spot, he could kiss her. Hermione didn't have an opinion, she was still out, in her mind she was in Draco's embrace.

She had been hit with the Malfoy bug, and all she could think was of Draco's kiss. Holly cow, Ron was nothing and she was ready for more, for much more. What were they saying? No marriage to Draco? And why? She was now willing and ready. She tapped Lucius back.

"Yes, and what of the marriage decree? The impostor-mommy is right. Besides we will be living here at the Manor, and if I were to marry someone else…the wizard will have his own manor, your heir or not will matter little. Imagine Viktor Krum, Bulgaria here I come."

Lucius turned around and hugged his daughter whose willingness had increased exponentially, "You are a true Malfoy, just now you sounded like great grandfather Serpens, his words always carried a hidden threat, I am proud of you." He kissed her forehead , "But if he upsets you in anyway he will answer to me." Lucius' values were askew and he admired all his daughter's less likable traits, he was a Slytherin and he was Lucius.

Draco rolled his eyes, he had the feeing his dad would be horrible as Hermione's dad. He knew that Lucius was a master spoiler, if not look at him. Oh well, as long as his witch was his, only his.

Armand, Henri and Lucinda Armand's younger sister, stood by the door. They had heard the last sentences and the reactions were varied.

Henri was smiling like a hungry beast, he was five years Draco's senior, had a son, and had lost his wife. He was a half-brother to Draco and both fell under the Malfoy law. So far his situation had been grim but not anymore. Uh huh, Hermione had been the object of his admiration for years, he would wait…how long? How about year or so and then he would pounce, grr.

His father would able to be with Narcissa because it turned out that his mother was already married in her country. When her real husband came for her, he'd been glad to let Armand to keep his son. This was a good day for his family.

Armand wanted his son Draco to acknowledge him, and he still loved stubborn Narcissa who had decided for the most arrogant of the two. She had been bad, sicking her demented sister on the younger witch. He still wanted revenge, Lucius would be told, and afterwards he would shag her rotten.

Lucinda was super excited to be an aunt again. She had loved once and never married. Her heart was broken, she waited for him and he never showed up. She had come back to their castle in de Loire, pregnant and broken hearted. She had never disclosed her lover's name. At present her daughter was away, studying a new field of curse breaking. She was specializing in lifting lupine curses.

Her daughter was raised as the child of an older maternal relative, and had recently sought her after her parents died in an accident. The happiness lasted minutes because she got mad when they were talking. She accused her of abandonment, no matter she told her that she was barely fifteen when she got pregnant. What a lonely life she had chosen, but now a nephew, a younger one, and soon little children to love, it was a reason to rejoice. Draco was so handsome, he looked so much like her brother.

The three came into the room right behind Mipsy. Who had used her magic to unlock the door and came in without knocking.

"Master hurries everyone is waiting. You is rude and the minister be asking if there be a wedding.''

Lucius ignored the rude elf and gave Armand a dirty look, the nerve, his daughter was marrying. How did he dare in such occasion?

Besides, he didn't like the way Henri's eyes were checking his daughter, better to marry her soon. This was only the beginning, because once his daughter's identity was known in the Pureblood society, there would be a long line of suitors. Better Draco, his daughter was right others might take her oceans away. In reality, Hermione was his legal heir not in name only. He wasn't taken into consideration a secret only known to four people and two were dead, his father, Severus, Nanette and himself. They had hand-fasted a few days before she disappeared, and Malfoy magic would work to keep the legal heir within the Manor walls.

Armand grabbed his arm, "Lucius we must talk," he also knew of Lucius hand fasting, it paid to have spies. He always thought Nannette was dead so Narcissa was married, but now it was no longer true.

"Later, later, there will be time, let's go daughter, shall we?" He didn't allow Armand to talk, he had already fought with Armand years ago and didn't want a repeat, not at the present time.

"Yes, Luc, err, Fath, whatever, let's go" Hermione hurried him.

Remus was still laughing, he couldn't believe the bunch...too bad that laughter doesn't last long.

Armand offered his arm to Narcissa, who blushed and took it, and Remus busted out laughing again. Hermione giggled and winked, and both mouthed "a sad lot."

Remus moved closer and looked at Narcissa with yellow eyes. When she just passed by him, he knew for certain, his earlier suspicions had been right, Narcissa was indeed the bloody nanny who had pulled his mate away from him; now he was 100% sure. He growled very loud and Narcissa screamed in fear. Kill her, kill her, Moony demanded, and Remus started to transform into a werewolf. Nobody moved, nobody wanted to be bitten by a werewolf. He pulled Narcissa away from Armand with supernatural strength and pushed her against the wall. Kill-kill were the only words he could hear, Moony was in control and was out for blood.

A/N Oops, a murder? I doubt it. It is not even a mystery.
