Confusion And Obsession

Well this is it……. Hope you like and thank you for all the great reviews.

Chapter 23

The day was exactly what Silver had wanted for her wedding. Her wedding! She could hardly believe it. In a few short hours, she would be Mrs. Draco Malfoy. Lady Malfoy. Thought she hardly cared for the title, it signified that she was Draco’s and Draco was hers.

She and her family had arrived yesterday at the castle. It was perfect. Kept up well and welcoming. The family quarters were divided into sections so the Zabinis took one side and the Malfoys the other. She had not seen Draco since she got here. Her mother and Aunt Narcissa insisted that Silver and Draco be kept apart until the ceremony. She smiled when she thought how well that must sit with her fiancé. Silver laid her hand on her bump and talked to her children.

“Mummy and daddy love you so much. The both of you are going to know all the love in the world. Your grandparents and your Uncle Blaise will love you as well. Don’t tell anyone but I think your uncle Blaise is going to give you an aunt soon. Aunt Cassie will be there for you too. And Uncle Harry, Aunt Luna, and Uncle Viktor.”

Silver giggled. “Daddy will hate that more then Harry being your uncle. However, he loves us enough to accept it. Oh, babies, your daddy would do anything for me. What he doesn’t know is that he needn’t do anything for my love. He has it no matter what.”

Silver stood up and walked to her open window. The gentle breeze moved the curtains and caressed her hair.

“I have known your daddy a long time. When you get to school, you may hear things about the way mummy and daddy hated each other. I had hoped you would never find out but I am realistic and know things like this have a way of coming out. Its true daddy and mummy were never shy about how we felt about each other. But we grew up and I came crashing into his world and he into mine and I thank Merlin every day.”

****************************************************************
Draco was pissed. He had tried three different times to sneak in to Silver but each time he was caught. His mother had actually laughed at him the second time! He went back to his room sulking when an idea came to him. He rushed to his closet and pulled out his broom.

Ha! Let them catch him now.

He flew out his window to Silver’s side of the castle. He smiled when he thought of seeing Silver. The ceremony was scheduled to start in three hours at sunset but he needed to see her, touch her know that she was there.
He saw her window and was pleased to see it opened. It was cold outside so she must have placed a charm on it to warm the air. At least, she had better have. It would not due for her to risk her and the babies’ health.

He got closer to her window and stopped when he heard her speaking.

“…he loves us enough to accept it. Oh, babies, your daddy would do anything for me. What he doesn’t know is that he needn’t do anything for my love. He has it no matter what…..I have known your daddy a long time. When you get to school, you may hear things about the way mummy and daddy hated each other. I had hoped you would never find out but I am realistic and know things like this have a way of coming out. Its true daddy and mummy were never shy about how we felt about each other. But we grew up and I came crashing into his world and he into mine and I thank Merlin every day.”

Draco felt his eyes start to water as he listened to the love of his life speak to their children. He hovered in the air for a few moments before turning the broom toward his room.
He would wait until she walked toward him ready to become his wife.

****************************************************************

Draco stood at the front of the large crowd and sighed.

Who ever thought Harry Potter would be at his wedding?

Harry and Luna were sitting together holding hands and

Luna was giggling like a schoolgirl.

His mother and father sitting in the front looking proud and full of joy. On the opposite side but still in front were Zio Celso and Zia Avani looking just as proud and happy as their friends were. Blaise was sitting next to them with Cassie by his side. Silver and Draco had not wanted a wedding party and their parents were accepting of that. It was their day and that decision had felt right.

What in the world?

Sitting in the crowd was Viktor Krum. Draco was a little miffed then realized that the wanker would witness his joining with Silver. He had no objection to that.

As the candles were lit, the crowed quieted down.
Minister Carmichael joined Draco up front and Draco felt like he had fairies dancing around in his stomach. This was it. Silver was finally going to be his wife. Draco looked to the ground in an effort to control his emotions. At the crowds gasp he looked up.

An angel came toward him and Draco felt like his heart has going to beat out of his chest. Silver was always stunning but now….right at this moment Draco would swear in front of Merlin himself, that no witch, no women had ever looked more like a goddess then she. She was wearing a beautiful white gown that simply made her glow. The skirt was bell shaped and the train was the one her mother had used on her wedding day. As she floated toward him, time seemed to slow down. He saw her and no one else and it was her hand slipping into his that brought him back to earth.

****************************************************************

Minister Carmichael started as soon as Silver stopped next to Draco. “We have come together in celebration in joining Silver and Draco. I could say many things at this moment. I could say that marriage is not to be entered into lightly. That the bonds you seek today are forever and that once united you will forever be as one. However, I believe that there are no two people who are more aware of this then Draco and Silver. They have proved repeatedly their love for each other.

We, as their family and friends, are unable to impart all the knowledge and wisdom we have gained in our lives and in our unions to Draco and Silver, we can however bestow upon them our love and guidance as they start their lives as husband and wife.

Others would ask, at this time, who gives this this witch in marriage, but, as a women is not property to be bought and sold, given and taken, I ask simply if she comes of her own free will and if she was her family’s blessing.”

Carmichael stopped and smiled at the beautiful witch.

“Silver, is it true that you come here of your own free will and accord?”

“Yes, it is true”

Carmichael then looked to Celso as he continued. “With whom do you come and whose blessings accompany you?”

“She comes with me, her father, and is accompanied by all of her family’s blessings.”

Silver leaned over so that her father could kiss her cheek for the last time as a single witch.

When Celso sat with Avani Minister Carmichael began again. “Please join hands with your betrothed. The magic that Merlin has bestowed on you is gift. A gift given freely and without payment. Much like your love for one another. Your magic, like your soul, has a missing piece. Draco and Silver are fortunate to have found the other half of their soul and their magic in each other. Marriage is something that must be nurtured every day. Love and comfort one another. Give the other understanding and support as you go through life. Be as one, yet maintain yourself, still be Draco and Silver. Be who the other has learned to love and cherish.”

Carmichael placed a ring in Draco and Silver’s palms.

“Draco, I have not the right to bind you to Silver, only you have that right. If it is your wish, say so at this time and place your ring in her hand.”

“It is my wish” Draco than placed his ring in Silver’s hand and she could feel the magic coming off it. She looked into his watery eyes and blinked away her own tears.

“Silver, if it be your wish for Draco to be bound to you, place the ring on his finger.”

Silver took the ring and slid it on Draco’s ring finger. She could not tell who was shaking more.

“Silver, I have not the right to bind you to Draco, only you have that right. If it is your wish, say so at this time and place your ring in his hand.”

“It is my wish.”

“Draco, if it is your wish for Silver to be bound to you, place her ring on her finger.”

Draco placed the ring on her finger and Carmichael spoke again.
“Draco and Silver have requested that they recite their own vows. Draco?”

Draco squeezed Silver hand as he started. He hoped that he didn’t mess this up.

“Silver, we have known each other for many years. Most of those I was not kind to you. When you came into my life again I promised myself that I would make that up to you. I thank Merlin that you were kind and generous enough to give me a chance. I promise you, Silver that no matter what I will cherish you and our children for the rest of our lives and beyond. You will never hunger for my love for I will give it in abundance. You will never want for my support for I will be at your side in whatever you do. When you look at the stars may they remind you that you are the light in my life. I love you and I always will.”

The women in the crowd were shedding tears as freely as Silver was. When Draco used his handkerchief to wipe them away, she placed her hand on top of his.

“Silver?”

She looked at Carmichael and seemed to remember that it
was her turn.

“Draco,….I have so much to thank you for. I was so scared when I started my new life. It was so overwhelming and I was floundering. You were able to pull me out of that. I will be the best mum and wife I can possible be. My love will be your sun and always keep you warm. My devotion will surround you whatever path you travel. You will never be alone for I am always with you if not in body then in heart and mind. I love you Draco Malfoy and I always will.”

Carmichael waited until Silver was done speaking and then took out his wand.

“May these rings be the symbol that represents your joined souls. Let them forever pulse with the magic that is your love.”

As he spoke, the rings gave off a glow that seemed to envelope Silver and Draco. Their family and friends gasped at how beautiful the couple looked. Their love seemed to be almost touchable and they were amazed at the rightness
of the moment.

“With the power given to me I now pronounce that you are husband and wife. Draco you may kiss your bride.”

Draco wasted no time and kissed Silver, his wife. The crowed cheered as Carmichael shouted, “I am pleased to present the new Lord and Lady Malfoy.”

Narcissa and Avani flashed each other smiles as their dream came true. Their children were happy and safely wed with children of their own on the way.
****************************************************************

They had spent a few minutes alone in the library after walking out hand in hand from the ballroom that held the ceremony. Neither one wanted to join the others but knew that someone would be in to drag them away any moment.

They kissed softly and Silver ran her hand through his shiny blond hair.

“I can’t believe it. I am Mrs. Draco Malfoy.”

“Yes you are and I will never let anyone forget it.”

Silver laughed as he kissed along her jaw line.

“And how are our precious babies?”

“Happy that mummy and daddy are finally legal!”

It was Draco’s turn to laugh as Silver patted her belly.

“Alright you two, no consummating marriages in the library.”

Blaise walked in with Cassie behind him.

“We are under strict orders that we bring you out to your reception.”
Cassie blushed and added, “I think Narcissa and Avani gave us the job because they were afraid of what they would find if they came in!”

They all laughed and Silver kissed her brother in the cheek.

“Well then, brother dear, shall we?”

Draco escorted his wife out to the reception while the full intention of showing her off.

****************************************************************

Silver was dancing with her father while Draco was dancing with her mother.

“Are you happy, Silver?”

“More then I ever thought I could be, Papa.”

“That’s all I have ever wanted for you. I thought about you so much in the years you were missing. All I could do has hope to Merlin that you were happy even if you were not with us.”

“I wish that I could have grown up with you, mama, and Blaise. We can’t chance the past all we can do is live in the here and now. I promise you that even though I am married I will always be your daughter.”

Celso kissed her on the forehead and whispered, “I am so proud of you. Of whom you are and what you have done. My grandchildren are fortunate indeed to have you for a mother.”

“I love you, Papa”

“I love you, my princess.”

“May I cut in?” Viktor interrupted them but Silver didn’t mind.

“Viktor! I am so glad you made it. Where is Aleksandra?”
As he twirled her gently, mindful of her condition, he answered.

“She was unable to attend. She sends her apologies.”

“I am so sorry to hear that. Is everything aright?”

“Well, her mother is having a hard time with her father’s death. Fear of being alone. They are working on the invitations to the wedding. I do hope you and your new husband can attend.”

“Of course. I really want to meet her. Maybe we can go there for a visit?”

“Myknee, that would be most wonderful. I have to leave soon but I want you to know that you made a beautiful bride.”

“Thank you. I am so happy to see you even if it’s only for a short time.”

“I look forward to your visit. Soon, yes?”

“I will speak to Draco and owl you.”

“Good-bye, Myknee.”

“Good-bye, Viktor. You are such a good friend to me.”

“Always. He better take care of you or I will have to come back and beat him within an inch of his life.”

Silver laughed and kissed him on the cheek, “Of that I have no doubt, old friend.”

****************************************************************

Harry watched his friend danced with Viktor Krum and then claimed by her new husband.

“Are you alright?”
He turned and wrapped his arm around Luna.

“Yes, I actually am. She’s happy, you know? I would not be a good friend if I tried to deny her that. After what she was been through she deserves happiness.”

“So do you, Harry.”

“I am finally starting to believe that I could be happy.”
He kissed her and swept her out on to the dance floor.

****************************************************************

She spotted Harry talking to Minister Carmichael and decide this was her chance.

“Harry? Would you like to dance?”

Harry smiled at the beauty in front of him.

“I think as the bride, you can dance with whomever you want.”

“Good. Because I want to dance with one of my best friends.”

Harry led Silver to the floor and they started to dance.

“Thank you for coming. I could not imagine this day with out you.”

“I am glad I finally got my head out of my arse to see that you are my friend now matter what last name you carry.”

Silver laughed and stopped to hug her friend.

“Harry Potter you are a good soul who means the world to me. I love you.”

“That works out well because I love you to, Silver.”
Draco walked up behind them and spoke.

“I want to dance with my bride, Potter”

Harry patted Draco on the shoulder, “Take care of her, Malfoy. She’s the best.”

“I will. Always.”

Harry stepped aside as they moved past him. Yes, he was glad he was here.

****************************************************************

In a room that was not as dank as the others Pansy Parkinson sat alone. The father of the baby growing in her was a raving lunatic and the man of her dreams was never going to give her the life she so desperately wanted.

They had told her that the baby was a boy. Like she cared. Once the brat was out, he would be handed over to those blood traitors. She would never have to think about this mistake again.

America.

When she was released, she would start a new life in America. There was a wizarding community in San Francisco that she would move to. She didn’t want to take the chances of ever seeing The Bitch with her Drake she just could not stand that. Merlin forbid Weasley’s spawn come looking for her. No, it was better to get away. She could not wait.
****************************************************************

Ginny Weasley looked at the ceiling trying to block out the noise the guard was making. Really, she didn’t care that she had to earn special treatment on her back with her legs spread but did they have to grunt like animals?

When she got out, she would only lie down for the richest of the rich. She would be so rich that even Hermione would be jealous. When that day came Ginny would rub it in her face! See, Hermione? See? You are not better then me. You are not prettier and everyone loves me more. Yes, Hermione would finally see that Ginny Weasley was above her in every way.

****************************************************************

Blaise and Draco were laughing at something Potter said.
Really this was just too strange. Draco, Blaise and Harry spending time together willingly? The things they did for the women in their lives. Cassie, Luna, and Silver looked on in approval and that was really the only thing that mattered.

“So, I told the guy if he tried to come any where near my bum there was seriously going to be problems.”

“Harry! He was only trying to measure you for your dress robes!”

“Luna, sweetheart, then why did he ask if my bum was as nice as Malfoy’s?”

“Oy! Potter, don’t drag me into your fantasy world.”

Everyone was laughing and didn’t notice the stares of astonishment they received. Silver could have cared less. She was happy and as Draco would say, anyone who didn’t like it could sod off.

****************************************************************

The party was still in full swing when Narcissa and Avani decided that the newlyweds could leave. When Draco got word from his father that he could leave with his bride he wasted no time.

They started their good-byes and were trying to head upstairs after a million rounds of well wishes and congratulations. Silver was giggling at Draco’s impatience but their friends wanted to wish them happiness.

“Bloody doing it on purpose if you ask me.”

“Draco, are you suggesting that there is some sort of conspiracy going on? That they are trying to keep us down here?”

“Yes. Just look at the smug look on Potter’s face.”

“Draco, you are too much.”

He grabbed her hand and barreled through their old classmates to make his way up the stairs. It was their wedding night and a bunch of Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins, much less, Gryffindors could not keep them from being alone!


Chapter 24

Draco and Silver made it to there room and Draco felt like doing a happy dance. They did it! They got away.

Take that, Potty!

Draco and Silver looked at each other and he took her hand in his.

“Finally we are married and nothing will ever take you away from me.” He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and lifted her up.

Silver laughed as she held on to him and he walked into their room.

Their room.

Draco walked to the bed and Silver never noticed the elegant surroundings. All she saw was Draco. His amazing eyes that shone with love for her. He was her every dream come true.

She felt herself dampen when she felt his hard member against her. They had not made love in so long and she could tell that he was as desperate for her as she was for him.

They kissed and moaned each other’s names as Silver tugged lightly on Draco’s hair. Her knickers became even wetter when he thrust gently against her.

“Merlin, baby, I want you so much…love you…need you…” Silver listened to Draco’s words as he kissed along her jawbone in just the way that drove her crazy.

“Yes, Draco, love you too.”

They were frantic as they helped each other out of their wedding robes.

When they were both naked, they stopped and looked at each other. Silver felt tears come to her eyes as she gazed upon her husband in all his glory. A single tear made its way down her face. Draco used the thumb to gently wipe it away. He ran his other thumb against her lips. She nipped at it and closed her eyes to savor the sound of his groan.
She followed his lead as they lay gently on the bed.

“I love you so much, Silver. Let me show you how much.”

He kissed and sucked his way down to her nipples, which were hard and staining for the attention.

Silver moaned and held his head to her as he used his tongue to wet them. Her core clenched and she gasped when he bit gently on one.

“Oh, Gods, Draco, yes.”

Draco took a breast in each hand and pressed them together while he nipped and sucked on the tips. Silver was bucking her hips trying to get friction to send her over the edge but Draco moved his hands down to her hips to hold them still.

“Not like that. The first time you come as a married woman, will be with your husband inside you.”

“Please, Draco, need you now.”

Draco groaned when he felt her hand run down his side and rest on his angled hip. Silver squeezed and her nails dug lightly into his skin just the way he loved.

“Now, now I will make you my wife.”

With those words, he slipped his manhood into her tight, hot center.

“Silver!”

“Draco!” They called each other’s names as they began to move together. Draco looked into her eyes as he moved himself in and out of her. He was careful not to put his weight on her belly. He would never do anything to jeopardize her pregnancy.

With her legs around his waist and her hands on his back, Silver moved her hips with her husband. Gods! The feel of his hardness inside her was amazing. She squeezed her vaginal muscles to feel more of him.

Draco threw his head back at the sensation and roared her name.

His trusts sped up and using his thumb, he rubbed the bundle of nerves she had at the top of her slit. He wanted them to come together and knew he was just about there.
Silver clenched her muscles again and they both flew over the edge.

When Silver could breathe again, she could feel that Draco was still semi-hard. She tightened her muscles and somehow, she was sure with Draco’s help flipped them over so she was ridding him. Draco moaned and palmed her breasts and Silver began to move.

“Oh, yes, ….oh Draco.”

Draco placed his hands on her hips helping her move on him. The sight of her bouncing on top of him with her full breasts and small round tummy has too much for him. He thrust up as hard as he could and then flipped them back over. She matched him move for move as they once again reached orgasm together.

Draco buried his face in Silver’s neck and moved off to her side bringing her close to him.

“Lady Malfoy.” He was panting and sweating but he never wanted to move away from her.

****************************************************************

Silver woke up a few hours later. Draco was next to her with his arm around her waist with his hand resting against their children. She smiled and snuggled in closer. The past few days had been so busy and with her pregnancy, she tired more easily.

Actually, the past few months had been crazy and she hoped everything would start to calm down. She wanted to enjoy being a newlywed and especially wanted to enjoy her pregnancy.

Soon there would be two little beings that would depend on her and Draco for everything. It was freighting but she could count on her husband to support her. They needed to find a home and discuss names; oh, there was just so much to do! Silver had wanted to find the perfect place for them before they were married but with everything going on, they just couldn’t. Now that they were married and everything settled, she could concentrate on her future. When she and Draco got back from their honeymoon, she would visit with Minerva and start working on her proposal for Hogwarts.

“What are you thinking about?”

Draco had woken up and he sensed that Silver was already awake. He just lay there enjoying the peace and quiet with her beside him.

“You, us, the babies, Hogwarts everything.”

“Hogwarts? You are lying in bed with your new husband, who by the way is very happy to see you, and your thinking about Hogwarts?”

Silver laughed and rolled over to face him.

“I was thinking about what I could suggest to improve the school for future generations, for our children.”
He guided her on her back and loomed over her.

“I am very glad you are going to be doing something that makes you happy; however I do believe that we are leaving on our honeymoon in a few hours that means you, my luv, should be thinking about nothing but having a wonderful time with me.”

“I might be more excited if you told me where we are going.”

“No can do. It’s a surprise and I wouldn’t want to ruin it.”

“Bad, evil man.”

Silver playfully swatted him and faked a pout.

“You better believe it.” Silver shrieked as he growled into her neck and lightly tickled her sides.

****************************************************************

Silver and Draco had said their goodbyes to their families who were also leaving the castle. The Malfoys and Zabinis were heading to France. Avani and Narcissa had convinced Lucius and Celso that some time in Paris together would be marvelous. Some time together before the grandchildren arrived. The wizards thought it would do them good so they agreed.

Little did they know that the future grandmothers intended to troll Paris for the perfect layette for their precious grandbabies. Ah, well they would figure it out soon enough. Avani was also hoping to get some early shopping in for Blaise’s wedding. A witch could hope couldn’t she? Blaise had invited Cassie’s father to dinner next week and Avani hoped that meant what she thought it did. Unfortunately, she would have to wait because her son refused to talk about it. Ugh, men!

****************************************************************

Silver hated jointed apparation. She did however like holding on to her new husband. When the spinning stopped, she opened her eyes to a beautifully decorated room. It was elegant and homey at the same time. It reminded her of Zabini Manor.

“Where are we? It beautiful here.”

“This, my dear, is the Zabini Villa. It has been in your family for generations.”

“Really? It does remind me of the manor.”

Draco watched her walk around the bright open room. The walls were a cream color and with the dark furniture, it created a wonderful contrast.

Silver gasped when she looked out the open window. The manicured gardens were amazing but what astounded her was the view past that. The wild beauty that was Italy.

“This is perfect, Draco! I can’t believe….this is exactly where I wanted to spend my honeymoon. Even before, when I was a child. How…”

Draco smiled as he put his arms around her. “I know you, Darling. You are a romantic soul and I knew you would what to get to know this part of your heritage. Therefore, for the next few days we will enjoy what wizarding Italy has to offer. And yes I have a few muggle sites on my list just for you.”

“Including the Libreria Nazionale Marciana? Are we even anywhere near it? Or we could-”

“Silver, we can go anywhere your hear desires. I would give you the world.” Draco kissed her knuckle and Silver felt fluttering in her stomach. She knew Draco would always affect her this way.

“How about a tour of the bedroom first, Lord Malfoy?”

“I would be my pleasure to escort you, Lady Malfoy.”
Silver giggled as Draco swept her up in his arms and made his way up to the second floor.

The room Draco took her into was like the rest of the home. Open and bright with high vaulted ceilings. The bed however, had dark green and purple sheets and dozens of pillows. Draco and Silver impatiently removed most of them before they started to undress each other. Between kisses and caresses, they managed to make their way under the sheets and Draco proceeded to make love to his wife.

****************************************************************

Five months later…………..

Silver was sitting in the library of her home with her mother and mother-in-law. She loved the home Draco had found for them after they had gotten back from Italy. It was modest compared to their family homes but still very elegant. Draco was still Draco after all.

Silver thought about the last few months. So much had happened.
Harry and Luna were very happy and Harry had recently asked Silver for advice on rings. While he wasn’t ready, yet he knew Luna was the one.

She could not think about the past few months without thinking of the Weasleys.

Molly and Arthur Weasley had disappeared about 3 months ago. When Silver had heard this, she confronted the men in her family but they all swore to have nothing to do with it. Draco did admit to making things difficult for them at the Ministry but nothing else. It wasn’t until she talked to Harry and he told her about the investigation that she felt better.

The Burrow had been searched and nothing out of the ordinary had been found expect that Mrs. Weasley seemed to be in the middle of cooking a meal and Mr. Weasley had a muggle television on the kitchen table. That is until the shed in the back had been searched. It seems that Mr. Weasley had been experimenting with different charms to make muggle contraptions work in the wizarding world. The muggle television found in the kitchen was now explained. The aurors theorized that Molly and Arthur were both using spells at the same time and, somehow, they interfered with each other.

Harry said that ministry workers believed that the television had become some sort of reverse portkey and that the Weasleys were….well, in the television.
Silver found that hard to believe but in the wizarding world, anything could happen.

The thing that worried her more then the whereabouts of the Weasleys was the fact that Pansy and Ron’s baby was due soon and the poor thing had no home. Bill and his wife had just welcomed twins and felt they just couldn’t take on more responsibility. Charlie and the twins were confirmed bachelors and were in no way prepared to handle a baby.
Silver sighed; hopefully it would work itself out. The baby was truly innocent and deserved better.

“Silver, are you feeling better?”

“Yes, Mama, my back pain is better now.”

“Um, Sweetheart are you sure? Because it looks like your water has broken.”

Silver, startled, looked down and gasped.

“It’s too soon! I am not due for another month!”

Avani went to reassure her daughter.

“With twins, this is perfectly natural. You and your brother were about five weeks early. It will be fine, sweetheart. Let’s get you upstairs.”

Narcissa rushed over to her side and called for the house elf.

“Bludger! Where are you?”

“Yes, Mistress, Bludger here.”

“Bludger, you need to find Master Draco. Tell him to come right away.”

The tiny elf saw the reason for the excitement.

“Bludger, hurry! Master outside!”

Before Narcissa could ask, the elf disappeared.

“Draco is not at the office?”

Avani answered while helping Silver up and toward the stairs. “No, he was been working from home mostly. Didn’t want to take the chance of missing the birth.”

“Mama?”

“Yes, Darling?”

“I think I changed my mind. I think the hospital is a great place for the twins to be born.”

Silver and Draco had agreed that Silver should give birth in their bedroom. The press would never let them be if they went to St. Mungos. The birth of the Zabini-Malfoy heirs was just too big of a story.

Besides, childbirth at home was the norm for a pureblood.

“Whatever you want, Silver.”

Draco came barreling into the foyer just as they were guiding Silver up the steps.

“Luv? Are you alright?”

“Yes, I am starting to feel it. Maybe, we should go to St. Mungo’s, I don’t think I can do it here.”

“If that’s what you want. I will be with you either place.”
Silver nodded her head as a really big contraction hit her and she doubled over a bit.

“We need to hurry. This seems to be going very quickly.”
Draco nodded as he lifted Silver into his arms and headed back to the library to the fireplace. As he stepped in his mother gave him some floo powder.

“We will be there as soon as we let everyone know. Draco, please take care of my daughter.”

Draco could see the fear in his mother-in-law’s eyes.

“I will, Zia. I promise.”
With that, Draco dropped the powder and called out, “St. Mungo’s maternity ward.”

****************************************************************
The small insignificant wizard was using what little magic he did have to clean the floor in the lobby of the hospital. If it weren’t for the fact that his sister was a healer here, he would not have even been able to get this job. That’s when his meal ticket walked in caring his wife. The Malfoys.

Thought they were better then everyone. Well, soon they
would know disappointment. He slunk away and rushed to his sister’s office. Good she was not there. He went in and closed the door. He wished he could lock it but that he could never do that charm strong enough.

He crawled to the fireplace and stuck his head in.

“Lord Parkinson!”

Luckily, Lord Parkinson was sitting in his study. This floo call needed to be fast.

“What do you want, Harrison?”

“There here, Mi’ Lord. The Malfoys.”

Parkinson got up and rushed to the fireplace.

“You are positive?”

“Yes, Sir, saw them myself.”

Harrison was startled when Parkinson pushed his way in and they landed in a heap on the floor.

“Now they will pay. Malfoy cost me my daughter now I will take his.”

****************************************************************

Draco couldn’t believe it. Three hours ago, when he entered this room these two little people were in his wife’s womb. Now, he held his daughter and son in his arms.

Silver was resting in the small bed but was watching Draco with their children.

Everything happened so quickly. One minute she was in pain and the next they were telling her to push. It was when she heard her son crying that she broke down. The sound of her daughter sent her into sobs. She was a mother!

She smiled when she saw Draco kiss each child on the forehead. He would be a wonderful father. He had been so attentive and sweet while they waited for their children.

“I don’t have the words to thank you, Silver. You and the twins are everything to me.”

“You are our world, Draco.”

The new family cuddled on Silver’s bed until a healer came in.

“Is everything alright?”

Draco looked up and gave the healer a look that sent him back a few steps.

“Draco” Silver had seen the glare Draco sent the poor man and went to intercede.

“Everything is perfect, Healer Wilkinson. When can I go home?”

“That’s why I am here actually. I need to run a few tests and Healer Brody will run a few on the children. If nothing comes up you can leave before dinner time.”

Healer Brody came in behind Wilkinson and went to take the baby Draco was holding.

She honestly thought she heard him growl. She jumped back and looked at the other healer for guidance.

“Draco, the sooner the twins get checked the sooner we can take them home. Why don’t you go and tell everyone that I will see them as soon as I get checked myself?”

Draco didn’t like it one bit but knew better then to make Silver angry. Besides, she was right. He wanted his family home.

****************************************************************

It only took a few moments for the healer to run his tests. She was feeling great and they had givin her a restorative potion and now she had no pain.

She was sitting on the bed and had already changed into the going home robes her mother had brought.

Silver was waiting for Draco and her family to come in when an overwhelming feeling came over her. A feeling of needing to get to her children NOW. She tried to shake it off but couldn’t. Getting up and rushing over to the door she jerked it opened and ran in the direction she saw the healer take the twins.

Silver came to a closed off area that proclaimed ‘QUIET’. Moving the curtain aside, she gasped at what she saw.

“Get away from them. I swear, Parkinson if you so much as twitch in their direction I will kill you.”

Parkinson stood above the cot that both children were lying in. Silver saw Healer Brody on the floor unconscious.

“You and your husband brought this on yourselves. You can’t hurt my daughter and get away with it.”

He moved and Silver took a step closer. He lifted his wand and aimed it at her. Better her then her babies.

“They are innocent; they have done you no harm. Just leave them alone.”

“Ah, but you see the best way to hurt the Malfoys is through these brats.”

Silver closed her eyes and concentrated as she had never concentrated before. She felt the wandless magic at her fingertips.

“Stupefy”

She moved quickly to move her babies’ cot out of the way. She was so angry with the wizard on the floor that she
kicked him in the stomach as she moved past him.
Silver didn’t want the twins in the same room as him so she stepped out and then shouted for help for the healer.

****************************************************************

Draco walked into Silver’s room with the family right behind him.

“That’s odd. Where is she?”

“Is something wrong? Draco, where is Silver?”

“I am not sure, Zio Celso but I will find out.”

As he stepped out, he heard it. Silver screaming for help. He ran in the direction the sound came from. Blaise was to his left and his father and Zio slightly to his right. His mother and his Zia behind them.

Draco came to a stop when he saw Silver sitting on the floor with the babies in her arms.

“Silver! What are you doing?”

Silver lifted her face and Draco could see that she was angry. She motioned with her head to the curtain on her right.

Draco and the other men slowly went into the room. They saw two healers working on someone on the floor. Draco could see that it was the healer that took his kids. Draco was watching them when Blaise swatted his arm. Draco shot him a look of irritation then saw what Blaise did.

Parkinson.

“That bastard.”

However, it was not he who spoke but his father.
The healer noticed that there were others in the room.

“The aurors have been notified.”

“What did he try to do?” Blaise asked as he tried to hold Draco back.

“It looks like he was….going to kill the babies.”

Draco roared and it took the three men to hold on to him.

“LET ME GO! HE IS DEAD!”

************************************************
****************

Silver heard Draco and sighed. She knew he would be lived. And he had every right. That scum tried to…kill helpless children. Their helpless children. It was not to be tolerated. Nobody would ever hurt them. She would make sure of it and so would Draco.

****************************************************************

Silver was grateful that it was Harry and Neville who showed up. Harry kneeled down next to her. Narcissa and Avani were standing protectively over her.

“Silver? Are you ok? The babies?” Silver had them clutched to her. She nodded.

When she heard the curtain, being moved she stood up slowly. Draco had to be dragged out by Lucius and Celso.
Blaise went to his sister and looked at Harry.

“You had better get him out of here before Draco gets away.”

Harry and Neville went in and Silver handed her mother one baby and her mother-in-law- the other.

They had taken Draco to her room to try to calm him down. Both Lucius and Celso understood Draco’s need to kill Parkinson but this could not end with Draco in Azkaban. His wife and children needed him too much.
Either Harry or Neville had revived Lord Parkinson and he walked out under his own power.

When Silver saw him, she calmly went over to him and before any one could stop her, she drew back her fist and punched him in the face.

“If my husband or I ever see you walking the streets we will kill you.”

“Silver! Where is my wife?”
Silver could hear her husband yelling for her. She took a baby in each arm and went to reassure Draco.

She had her back turned, was walking away, and didn’t see Parkinson grab Neville’s wand and aim at her.

Narcissa screamed as Parkinson shouted, “Avada-”

“Avada Kedavra”

Silver turned shocked at the sight of her mother with her wand out and Parkinson lying dead on the floor.

****************************************************************

When Silver came in with their kids Draco relaxed immediately.

“Are they alright? Where is Parkinson?”

Draco saw that she was crying. Panic gripped him.

“Papa, you must help Mama! She saved my life! Please, don’t let them take her!”

“Figlia, what are you saying? Where is your mother?”

Silver tried to calm down so she could explain.

“Parkinson shot the killing curse at me-”

Draco was almost out the door before she stopped him.

“Mama she stopped him. She…she killed him. Harry knows she did it to save me but he says he needs to take in in! He would not listen to me!”

Blaise, Celso, and Lucius rushed to reach them before they left. Silver was about to follow when Draco stopped her.

“Draco! I need to be with my mother! Please, I need to..”

“I know but sweetheart you need to calm down you’re upsetting the babies.”

It was then that Silver noticed that they were crying.

“Oh, poor babies, mummy was upsetting you. I am so sorry.”

Silver cuddled the wailing children as Narcissa joined them.

“Aunt Cissa? My mother?”

“Draco, you father would like you to join them. I will stay here with Silver.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

“Shhh, don’t cry everything will be fine I promise.”

Narcissa rocked her goddaughter and grandbabies as she thought of her friend.

****************************************************************

“You’re not taking my wife anywhere, Potter.”

“Please, Mr. Zabini, I am well aware that Mrs. Zabini saved Silver’s life.”

“Then what the fuck is the problem, Potter?”

“Listen, Blaise, a man has lost his life and certain procedures must be followed. Mrs. Zabini needs to come to auror headquarters so that Shackelbolt can interview her. That’s all. We have no intention of pressing charges.”

“Damn right your not. My mother-in-law saved my wife’s life.”

Everyone turned to look at Draco who had joined them.

“Malfoy, I could never hold that against her. She did what she had to. I will make sure Shackelbolt understands that.”

“We will go with you just to make sure that gets understood.” Blaise countered.

“Draco, take your mother, wife, and children home. We will handle this and join you soon.”

“Yes, Father. I think that would be for the best. Silver is quite upset.”

****************************************************************

Draco convinced Silver that going home was for the best. He had to promise that if didn’t hear anything soon he would go and check on things.

They were in Draco and Silver’s bedroom because Draco had insisted that she needed to rest. She was holding their son while Draco held their daughter.

The room was silent as everyone worried about Avani. Silver felt tears com to eyes when she heard the door open and her mother walked in.

“Mama!”

Avani went to the bed and took her daughter in her arms.

“I am so thankful you are alright.”

“Me? I am fine thanks to you.” Silver asked her father when he came in the room, “What happened? Is everything settled?”

“Si, it was as Potter said. Everyone understands. Avani did what she did to protect you. He went to collect Luna and Cassandra. Everything happened so fast we neglected to inform them that you had given birth.”

Avani cooed at her granddaughter.

“I just realized I don’t know my grandchildren’s names.”
Draco and Silver smiled at them and he moved to sit with her on the bed.

“Everyone, we would like you to meet our son. Blake Draco Malfoy.”

Silver smiled and placed a kiss on Blake’s cheek.
Draco then introduced their daughter, “And this beauty is Carina Silver Malfoy.”

Every gathered around the bed and started demanding to hold the babies.

As Silver looked at her family she felt overwhelmed with love. She had everything she every wanted. Loving parents, a sibling, children and a husband that loved her just as much as she loved him. Yes, Silver Zabini-Malfoy’s life was perfect.


Epilogue

6 weeks later………

Silver had the sudden urge to be with her babies. She loved being a mother and always wanted them close to her. She hoped her guests didn’t notice her distraction.

Blaise and Cassie had come to visit and they were sitting in the garden.

“Silver?” Cassie was laughing at the far off look in her friend’s face. “Somewhere else you rather be? Like oh, say the nursery?”

“I am sorry. I just miss them when I am not with them.”

“That’s understandable. How are they doing?” Cassie asked Silver, trying to keep her good news in a while longer.

Silver’s face glowed and she smiled a big beautiful smile as she talked about her twins.

“They are wonderful. So small and precious. Carina is always content but Blake needs reassurance and coddling.”

“Ah, so my niece takes after her mum but my nephew takes after his spoiled dad.” Blaise grinned at his sister.

“Be nice, Blaise. Draco was been marvelous. He helps so much. I feared that he would expect the elves to do all the day to day stuff but he surprised me.”

Silver nibbled on a biscuit as she thought of her husband and his gentle way with the twins.

“He’s at the office in the mornings but comes home in the early afternoon to be with me and the twins.”

“Papa mentioned that. Said that Lucius approves greatly of Draco’s choices and priories.”

“He is a wonderful father. I am very lucky.”

“Speaking of being lucky..”

“Subtle, Blaise.”

“What? I just think that my sister would be upset if she found out our news the same time as the rest of the wizarding world did.”

“Your news? Oh, Merlin! You’re engaged!”

Cassie was beaming as Silver hugged her. “Yes. Blaise asked my father for my hand yesterday. Quite impressed him too. My father called Blaise a ‘true gentlemen’.”

“So managed to fool him, big brother?”

“Haha, Silver. I happen to be very charming. Ask anyone.”

As Silver and Cassie starting talking about the engagement party Blaise went to look for his brother-in-law knowing exactly where to find him.

The nursery door was slightly ajar and Blaise peeked in before opening it all the way.

Draco was sitting in the rocking chair with a tiny bundle in each arm. Who would have imagined that the cocky, arrogant Draco Malfoy could be brought to his knees by love? He was grateful Draco found it. He had thought they were both doomed to lonely loveless marriages. Thank Merlin for Silver and Cassandra. The Slytherin Princes found their princesses and they couldn’t be happier.

****************************************************************

Silver and Cassie didn’t even notice Blaise leave. They were giggling live they were 15 again when Luna and

Harry were announced by the elf.

“Luna! Harry! I am so glad you came by. Cassie and Blaise have wonderful news.”

The witches could tell that Harry and Luna were nervous.

“What is it? Is something wrong?”

Luna was quick to reassure her friends.

“No, nothing. We do have something to share, but first what is your wonderful news?”

Harry sat by Luna on the lounge and took her hand. Luna smiled dreamily at him.

Cassie almost felt like she was interrupting a private moment. “Um, well, Blaise asked me to marry him and I said yes.”

Luna and Harry both congratulated her.

“And where is the lucky wizard?”

Cassie smiled at Harry. They had gotten to know each other and found that they liked each other a lot. “Up with Draco.”

“That’s probably for the best. Luna and I really don’t know how people are going to take this and we wanted you both to be the first to know.”

“Take what Harry? Please you’re starting to worry us.”

“I am sorry, Silver. I …we don’t mean to.”
Harry looked at Luna for permission before he started again. “It’s actually two things. The first is, well…Luna and I eloped this morning.”

You could have heard a pin drop. Then it came. The wrath of cheated girl friends. Cheated out of being there to watch their friend, no friends, get married.

“HARRY JAMES POTTER! How dare you! You got married without us? How..? Why..?”

Luna went to rescue her husband.

“Silver, please don’t be angry. We had a very good reason. We plan on a wedding soon and we want all of our friends there but we needed to get married. Today.”

“Why? I mean why today?” Silver was trying to understand her friends reasoning.

Luna took a deep breath and hoped they would understand.
“A few days ago I was volunteering at St. Mungo’s. A baby was brought in. I … I don’t know how to explain it. I fell in love. He had the prettiest eyes and he was just so handsome. I could almost feel his need to be held and loved. I asked where his mother was.”

Luna wiped a tear of her cheek before she went on. “At first, all they would tell me was that he had been put up for adoption but they wanted to have him checked out first. Because of where he had been born. I knew that I was meant to help this child so I asked Lavender to help me find out more. She was able to tell me who his parents were.”

Silver suddenly knew. “Ron and Pansy.”

Luna nodded and Harry wrapped an arm around Luna’s shoulders.

“I know that they are horrible people, I know but, Silver this baby is not to blame. I look at him and all I see is innocence and goodness.”

“Of course he is, Luna. We could never blame a baby for his parent’s crimes. But, I don’t understand what that was to do with you getting married.”

Cassie had an idea but wanted Luna to confirm it.
“Luna? It’s all about the baby isn’t?”

“Yes. I talked to Harry and he even went to see him.”
Harry took over the explanation.

“Silver, you know how I grew up. Hell, how we both grew up. Felling unloved and unwanted simply because of who are parents were. I don’t want that for this baby. I want to be the one to give him the chance to have a normal life. A good life. I think.. I know Luna and I can give him that.”
Silver and Cassie both had tears in their eyes as Harry spoke.

“Harry, I think you and Luna are doing a wonderful thing. You’re going to be wonderful, amazing parents but why did you have to get married today to do that?”

“Well, with Pansy giving up her rights, Ron totally unfit to make a decision and the Weasleys missing the Ministry didn’t have much of a choice but to put the boy in an orphanage. Luna and I talked to them and they agreed that if we could provide a stable home, meaning we get married, they would let us adopt. The only thing was that they were planning to move him to the orphanage until then. Neither Luna nor I wanted that, so… ”

“You married before they could. Have you thought about what this means though? Pansy will be released no matter how much Draco tries to fight it. She may cause problems.” Silver was worried about Pansy coming back into their lives in any capacity.

Luna shook her head and took hold of Silver’s hand. She knew her friend’s thoughts.

“No, she will never try to claim him. She told the healer who attended her during labor, to not put her as the mother on the birth certificate. She wanted nothing to do with him.”

“Well then. This calls for a celebration. To the newest Potter.”

Harry hugged Silver and shook his head. “Actually there are two new Potters.”

“Oh of course. Mrs. Potter, care to accompany to the nursery? We can tell Draco and Blaise the good news and you can tell the twins all about their new playmate.”

“Silver, do you really think Draco is going to be alright with this? After all the horrible things Ron and Pansy has done. Will he accept this baby any where near his children?”

Silver tried to find the words to explain to Luna. “Draco loves me and our children. He is a very protective father and husband. He may seem…difficult” Silver shot Harry a glare when he snorted, “but he is a good man.”

Harry, his wife, Cassie, and Silver made their way to join Draco and Blaise in the nursery.

Silver knew that her husband was going to be fit to be tied but he would come to understand and accept. He would do any thing for her.

****************************************************************

Silver was right. Draco was not happy at all. The thought that any part of Parkinson and Weasley near his family made him see red. However, Silver’s calming manner and his own good sense made him realize that this baby was not
Ron or Pansy.

As the years went by the Malfoys, Zabinis, and Potters watched as their children toddled after each other. Draco could look at Zack Potter and see Harry and Luna Potter’s oldest boy. As the families increased in size, they became even closer and Silver and Draco would not have it any other way.

The End.
