Chapter 1

Emmy was helping Adam play with toys. She is such a good big sis already.

Lucius watched the kids play, feeling emotional.

Rodolphus smiled. "Can you believe they are 5 and 4 already, love?"

Lucius cried.

Rodolphus hugged him. "I know, Lucius. Where did the time go? I'm so happy they have each other."

"Abraxas and Harden are hosting a party. They're going to invite the Lestrange's and other pure-blood families. Tom and the Death Eaters are going to be there as well. It's going to be an open thing for the public."

Lucius and Rodolphus looked at each other. "Let's get ready, Rod." They collected the children, bathed them, and dressed them in little matching clothes before getting ready themselves.

They floo to Malfoy Manor, making the jump from Lestrange Manor.

Walking in, they took a breath.

"Harden, you guys are here!"

"Abraxas, hi son."

Emmy and Adam ran up to them. "Grandma and Grandpa!"

Harden scooped up Emmy, and Abraxas scooped up Adam.

"Lucius, Mom, Dad."

The kids got down and stayed by their parents.

As the crowds gathered, Lucius greeted everyone.

He greeted his grandfather. Tom chuckled. "Lucius, where are my great-grandchildren?"

Rodolphus huffed. "They are ignoring me." Walking over, Adam and Emmy greeted Gramps.

Harden chuckled.

Abraxas grinned at the littles.

Lucius caught sight of someone in the crowd and shook, grabbing Rodolphus's hand.

"Harden, baby, what's wrong?"

Everyone looked at him while he stared at the group.

Rod growled. "What are they doing here?"

"Abraxas, what's going on?"

Tom frowned. "Who are they, Rodolphus?"

"They have been tormenting Lucius. I'm going to kill them," Rodolphus said, shaking his head.

Emmy bumped into someone. "Sorry," she muttered.

The main group leader sneered. "Watch where you're going, brat." The rest laughed. "Wait, I know you. Where are your parents?"

Emmy shook. "Mama!" she cried.

Lucius looked up and saw Emmy. Rushing to her, he said, "Baby, what happened?"

Emmy pointed at them.

Lucius grew very angry. "Emmy, what did they do?" His eyes caught everyone's as his magic began to build.

Messing with him was one thing, but his children? That was different.

Rodolphus made his way over. "Emmy, what happened?" He took Lucius's hand.

Emmy sniffed. "I bumped into him, and he yelled at me, called me a brat."

"Go to Grandma, baby." Adam went to his sister, hugging her. "You okay?" he asked.

He watched his parents. "Mama, Daddy, take care of it."

Tom looked mad, walking over. "Who are you four? What are you doing here? Why is my grandchild crying?"

They grinned. "Why us? We didn't do anything. They're just children; they don't know anything."

Rodolphus looked at one of them and gasped. "You piece of shit."

Lucius looked at him.

"Stay away from her, or so help me God," Rodolphus said. "You had a choice. Now you don't." He stepped up. "I'm not the teen I was before. My magic is much stronger than last time. Go before I make you."

Thorne laughed. "Oh really? You think you can stop me from taking what's mine to begin with?"

Rabastan walked over, standing by Rodolphus. "You will not touch either of them. You assholes better be glad I didn't find you back then."

Rodolphus went to Emmy, hugging her tight. "Baby girl, it's okay. Calm down." He looked at Lucius. "It's him, isn't it?"

Rodolphus nodded.

Their parents came over, standing in front of their children. "Back up now, leave him alone."

"Tom, what happened, Rodolphus?"

"He's Emmy's father, not by choice. It was by force," Rodolphus looked down.

Lucius held him. "It's okay," he whispered.

Abraxas and Harden stepped up. "Oh really, that's what you are?"

The Death Eaters stepped up, binding him in place. "My lord," one said.

"Take him. Go," Tom ordered.

Rodolphus looked at him. "My lord?"

Tom nodded. "No one hurts family. Not ever."

"Lucius, thanks, Gramps."

"Rodolphus, thank you."

Harden spoke. "Father, I want them destroyed now."

Emmy and Adam calmed down, holding their parents. Rodolphus and Lucius looked at them. "It's okay. You are safe. No one will touch you."

"Rodolphus, let's go home, Lucius. I can't take anymore. I want to be home."

They took their leave, heading back to Lestrange Manor before Rodolphus broke down crying.

Lucius held him. "They are gone. You are safe and a great dad to our precious child."
