Another Chance At Love?

Unexpected Alliances

Draco looked at his brother in law a moment and despite all the fear that was inside him and the anger at Reid Garwin,Draco smiled a moment. He looked at the piece of plastic and just for a moment turned it over in his hand. He wondered how such an device told them that. He had not heard it utter a word. He was curious but he knew now was not the time to ask those mundane questions.

"We're having another baby, I'm going to be a Father again?"

Draco said as he smirked a moment. He couldn't help it he was excited as he for a moment seemed to bounce with happiness. Caleb watched him a moment amused as Tyler and Pogue just both smiled a moment.

Draco stopped to a halt a moment as he straightened his robes and he tried to focus. He looked at Caleb. Draco was now more than determined to go and get his wife back. His wife was out there with his unstable cousin and pregnant with his child, Draco paused a moment as he realized that he would be a father again. He knew that it pleased him as he had always wanted to fill up the Manor with children of his own, Fill it with love and laughter. He put the test in the pocket of his robe and turned to the others.

"Alright time is of the essence, I am going to make a locator spell and hope it leads us somewhere."

Draco lifted the chain that was broken and mended it with his wand, he placed the silver chain and her wedding ring on his neck. He wanted to be sure that he had it when he gave them back to Hermione. He was grinning now despite the fact that something bad was going to happen.

He was going to have a baby, His wife was giving them another child. He was ecstatic. He then paused a moment and the traitorous thought came to mind. She had been with Reid also that day, The child might not be his child it might be Reid's. Draco was silent as they made their way to the school now. Draco saw the others flying and he shook his head.

"Your going to have to teach me how to fly like that"

"It's simple,You need to believe you can fly and you will."

Caleb laughed as he looked down at Draco and stopped in mid air. He just grinned as he had seen Draco's reaction to the impending fatherhood. He knew it was a good sign that Draco had smiled. He knew that the man loved his sister a great deal. He however saw a moment of sadness in his eyes too at the mention he was going to be a father. What was it?

Caleb decided to run with Draco instead of flying and he fell into step with him. As he did he noticed that Draco was concentrating hard on something. He admired the determination it seemed to him that the blond haired man had. He saw the reserve in his eyes. Caleb watched as Draco gripped the cane now in his hand ,his knuckles turned white as ivory the head of the Dragon's head moniker on it roared a moment and it's eyes glowed a shocking red color glowing as if the gems were pure fire. Caleb saw the change so swiftly in Draco it almost as if he turned on a light switch and a light flooded a darkened room.

Draco moved now and it was fast, very fast almost so fast that he knew that any normal human being would see nothing but a blur. In a matter of seconds they had moved and made up the miles between Hogsmeade and The school front gates. There was an older lady who met them at the gates. He saw his niece by her side and a small boy who could only be his nephew. He for a moment took in the boy and knew his eyes. Caleb felt a sadness a moment as he looked into his sisters eyes that the child possessed.

Draco was hugged by both of the children a moment as they were scared. He nodded and dropped down to hug them properly. He seemed to be in Caleb's observation to be whispering words of comfort to them.

Pogue placed a hand on his cousin and best friends shoulder and Tyler was on the other side of him, They made a striking trio as the Headmistress turned to speak with them. Her green eyes shone a moment with question but also in wisdom. She stepped forward her head held high and presented herself as the proper lady she was. She looked a moment curiously at Tyler who seemed to blush slightly a moment from the observation.

"Welcome Masters Danvers,Parry and Simms to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. I assure you I know of course who you three are as well as Mr Garwin's abilities. Perhaps however it would be more prudent to finish this conversation in my office as it seems that the school always has eyes and ears."

Minerva smiled a moment quietly, her lips turning up a small amount. Her eyes shined a moment and twinkled. Draco saw this and groaned. He shook his head as he saw the confusion in the other men's eyes. American's they didn't seem to ruddy understand. Tyler walked over and he extended an arm to Minerva who nodded and took it graciously.

Caleb shook his head and he chuckled as he watched the interaction between Tyler and the Head Mistress. She was old enough for God's sake to be his grandmother, yet there he was,Tyler blushing at her like a school boy with a crush then extending his arm in a gallant gesture to the woman. He didn't know what to make of it really. Caleb saw that Draco was also shaking his head and heard a snicker coming from his nephew.

Tyler was silent as he helped the Headmistress to the great doors of the castle. He didn't know what made him so bold as to offer her his arm however when she touched it , he felt a warmth and a recognition in that moment. He knew this woman was familiar to him but did not know why she would be. He looked back to see Pogue and Caleb smiling and he sighed a moment.

Tyler was raised with manners and he knew that even though he realized that the woman his senior by more than perhaps his life time by three was rather spry. She or so it seemed to him,didn't see herself as old and if the adage was true that you are as young as you feel.. He knew that things were different in this country, yet he also knew that at his own grandmother's knee he had been taught proper manners and manners were important no matter where you came from or was.

Minerva smiled as she let go of his arm as they got to the top of the long staircase that went to the great huge doors. She turned and watched the others walking up behind her and Tyler and she made a sound of a half giggle in her throat. It was the closest thing to a laugh that she would utter.

"Thank you Master Simms for your assistance, it seems that you were raised properly with the manners of old times. I can lead all of you from here. Mr Malfoy, Perhaps it would be best you meet us in a bit after visiting Madame Pomphrey and making that locator spell. As I said the village also has eyes and ears as well as the castle."
She said all of this and Draco nodded. He heard Pogue whisper to Caleb.

"Ok what the hell was that and did she just say the village has eyes and ears? Weird place if you ask me Caleb ."

Draco bit his lip not to laugh he didn't feel insulted as he knew that in their place he had felt weird at first. He for a moment had a sense that if they had grown up in England then they would have been all placed in different houses.

Draco imagined it a moment and saw it clearly. Caleb was no doubt a Ravenclaw , Tyler would have been a Hufflepuff and Pogue, He was thinking that the dirty blonde man was possibly either a Gryffindor or even Slytherin like himself. He knew for a fact that his bastard cousin would have given him a run for his money,Reid would have defiantly been a Slytherin. He knew that normally that thought would have given him a sense of pride, his cousin like the rest of the Malfoy's..no he corrected himself, Garwin. Draco's true sir name was Garwin and he still was finding that a bit shocking however, he knew that his family line for the most part were Slytherin's the only one who wasn't was his son. He smiled knowing that fate and the sorting hat had chosen wisely.

He broke these thoughts as he made his way to the Hospital wing, he realized that Caledonia and Scorpius had followed him as they both took one of his hands. He squeezed them trying to give them comfort and courage. He met the matron, she was concerned and it showed in her violet tinged eyes as she went to bustle around them, She looked each of them over and Draco tried to interject why they were there but he wasn't given a word in edgewise. Draco shook his head as he walked over and he went to her potions cupboard. He grabbed the necessary ingredients and put them together, let the cauldron simmer and waited to add the hair and blood sample.

The potion glowed green as Draco entered the last ingredients and he saw the matron take the vial of blood that had a small amount left and she tested it. She gave a expression of surprise then smiled as she looked at Draco a moment. Draco smiled back as he knew what she was about to tell him. He held his hand up a moment cautioning her as he glanced at the twins who were sitting there looking bored.

Madame Pomphrey nodded as she just grinned and she walked over .Her face was full of excitement and Draco smiled a moment. He frowned after a moment however as he took the matron aside. He took a calming breath as he waited.
"I cannot be sure exactly but I do know that your wife is a little under a month along, Mr Malfoy, I do know that there is a way to track the whereabouts of the child inside her, I will need a sample of your blood and a hair to determine it however.

Draco nodded as he knew that was the one and only time he had made love with Hermione and it gave him more hope since in his reasoning he had gotten to her first that morning. He plucked a hair from his head and extended his arm to her.

"Take whatever you need as much as necessary"

The matron nodded as she gathered her potions and she then took a silver knife and she made a small incision into Draco's palm. As she did this she placed his hand over a cauldron and allowed three drops of his blood to enter it. Instantaneously two things began to happen. A light of pale blue and white surrounded Draco a moment then returned to the cauldron. It flashed as it seemed that there was a symbol of a double helix and both were blue. Draco for a moment was silent as he smiled.

"Twins "

Draco said as he remembered from the birth of Caledonia and Scorpius. The matron nodded as he grinned and chuckled happily. The matron was silent as something was unusual,for the moment she said nothing as she placed the hair into the cauldron and it shone. She nodded and still what she interpreted was a surprise. She wondered if it was possible. She had never heard of such a thing. She would consult her healer journals before asking Mr Malfoy.

The doors to the Hospital wing burst open and in stepped a dark haired man, His green eyes were looking around in a hurried state as his spectacles were perched on his nose. His hair was as wild as always. Beside him was a red haired woman, Her eyes which were a cinnamon brown caught sight of Draco as she marched her way over to him. Draco sighed as he saw the pair enter the room. The last time he had spoken to the couple it had ended on very bad terms. He knew that this time however he had no time for any petty arguments.

"Malfoy where is Hermione and what is this that you are playing at? You being here with Hermione can bring about nothing but trouble."

Two gasps were audible as the children looked on at Harry and Ginny Potter. Caledonia stood up and walked over to her father. She glared a moment at Harry and Ginny. She shook her head. She knew that she had never seen her uncle and aunt act this way towards anyone. She didn't like the way they spoke to her father, at all. The doors opened and in walked the Son's, they all looked at Draco and then to Harry Potter.

Caleb cleared his throat as he walked over to diffuse what he knew looked like was about to become a very volatile scene. He knew that from one look in Draco's eyes that he was irritated. Draco just blew off Harry and Ginny as he stepped to walk by him. Harry stopped him glaring at him.

"What did you do to Hermione you sadistic son of a bitch? Wasn't it bad enough you broke her heart once already ?"

Draco shoved Harry off of him and then glared at him coldly. He didn't have time to argue with the Potters.

"Piss off scar head, Give it a rest would you? I don't have time to go down memory lane with you at the moment. I have a wife and children to save, so excuse me if that's more important to me than your obvious lack of an maturity problem. If you want to come and help us fine, If not I understand that the Minister of Magic doesn't want to filthy his hands."

Draco strode out of the Hospital wing. Caleb looked over at Harry a moment in question. Harry shook his head. As he did he wondered if he had pegged Draco Malfoy wrong. He let that thought slide as being ridiculous and went after Draco.

Draco was livid as he made to the corridor. He knew that he didn't need this from Harry fucking Pothead coming in as the hero and trying to save the day. He stopped a moment to calm himself as he decided he needed to go back in the Hospital wing and let everyone know what he discovered. He made his way back there as he did he stopped and saw Harry at the other end of the hall. He wondered what the man bloody well wanted now, He knew that it wasn't like himself to back down from anyone, Especially not his life long nemesis.

Harry had his wand raised as he looked at Draco. He wondered what the man was playing at as he came back towards the Hospital wing. He had seen the look in Draco's eyes, had seen the pain as he declared his intentions. He saw the confusion and pain now as Draco walked towards him. Gone was the arrogant swagger, Gone was the smirk that Harry detested, now there was a man standing before him seemingly broken and Harry nodded to him.

"I'm in let's go"

Draco didn't smile he didn't even say thank you, all he did was nod back. Draco opened the doors and announced to all that were gathered there.

"I know where my wife is, I have it in mind to go alone,however I know all that will do is lead to arguing and we don't have the time for that, so whoever is coming come along but know we might not make it out of this one alive even if we have Harry Potter on our side."

Harry nodded as he saw Draco take charge and he noticed the walking stick he held. He saw it roar a moment and everyone in the room grew quiet as Draco seemed to be concentrating. He closed his eyes and held it out a moment in front of him, It left his hand and began to turn fast in a circle. Draco didn't know what was happening after all it was instinct that led him to do this. The staff it guided him and he noticed that there was a small wall of light emerging from the rotation. The staff stopped and came back to his hand.

Draco looked at it carefully, he placed a arm into what appeared an opening and was amazed when it vanished. He looked at Caleb a moment.

"Caleb, If something happens to me and I.. I want you to know your a good brother in law, we might have not know each other more than a few hours but I already know this. If something happens,Harry Ginny please take the children to Pansy and Blaise's as they are their God Parents."

Draco's voice had been strong despite he felt like it was hopeless. He looked at the children a moment and knelt down and hugged them.

"I love you both, be good and I'll have your mum come and return to you I swear on Merlin."

The scene was touching as the children hugged their father then went over to their aunt Ginny. She placed a hand on both of their heads and nodded to Draco. Harry turned and kissed his wife gently a moment.

"I love you and our boys Ginny"

Harry said this as Ginny smiled. She shook her head. "What about our little girl Harry huh?"

Harry looked puzzled a moment then Ginny grinned. "In seven months so your ass better come back to us."

Harry grinned and nodded as he turned to look at Draco. Draco extended his hand to Harry and Harry took it shaking it.

"We'll talk about the past later,lets go and you will return to your family I swear it. If anyone is going to die tonight it's going to be Reid Garwin."

Draco said these words as he stepped into the unknown portal. He felt like he was flying. His feet met pavement as he up at the huge house.

He wondered why he had been brought to this place of all places. It had horrible memories for him, For Hermione as well. He knew that one day he would have it burnt to the ground but for the moment he was curious as to why he was there. He heard a voice and it called to him, it beckoned him forward as something unseen slid the door open.
