Chapter 24

Chapter 24- Draco’s Choice

“What do I do!? “ Draco struggled as he held his wife and his friends in his hands. Osiris had plunged off the Pyramid and into the Nile’s foreboding depths, hard after his traitorous brother Seth. Osiris reached the water of the river below as the teens dangled in the cold wind and rain. He met Seth with a thunderous explosion as the tumultuous river below wrapped its wicked arms around Seth pulling him to its rocky bed. The jagged rocks cut into the mummy’s decaying flesh as the beautiful god above him held his weakened body under the ravaging current.

You will die a thousand deaths and the icy water will forever be your heart Seth

You took my children from me

You took my wife from me

You took my kingdom from me

Now the river that carries the blood of Egypt will take you!

With that a crocodile snapped Seth’s hand off into his mouth, crunching on his dry, rotting bones. Osiris watched as his brother’s body sank in the cold depths of the Nile. Osiris turned his gaze to his beautiful wife who hovered above Draco on the ledge of the tomb that carried his name.

“Potter I’m going to save you, somehow, all of us are going to live to see our loved ones again.” Draco shouted into the wind.

“I’m going to let go Malfoy, you can’t hold us!” Harry Potter screamed.

“What are you saying Harry, he better not bloody well let go!” Ron screamed from beneath Harry. Draco was crying with a furious look on his face. His arms were giving out but his mind would not let go, he had to save them, he would save them.

“I love you Draco Malfoy. I love you, you do what you have to, I won’t judge you sweetness.” Hermione cried out as she began to swing in the wind.

“Hermione can you reach your wand?” Hermione shook her head, no, and Draco’s face cringed in pain. His shoulder was now tearing from its ligaments; he would have to let someone go soon enough.

Draco sensed his daughter in his thoughts. He could not face his daughter right now, not when her mother was dangling in his dangerous grip.

Daddy let go it will be okay…

Trust me Daddy it will be alright…

I’ll guide your hand...Trust me daddy

“No Isis you can’t help me, if I let go Potter and Weasley will die. I wish it were true baby but its not.” Draco spoke back to his daughter and Hermione and Harry were sure he was hallucinating as his eyes closed and his body began to sway.

“Malfoy, I am going to let go and you pull Hermione and Ginny up.” Harry was now worried that Draco was losing it. He seemed to be daydreaming and he couldn’t risk his wife falling to her death.

Draco was filled with a vision of his sweet daughter in a white nightgown running towards him. It was a sunny afternoon and they were on the quidditch field and he hopped off his broom and Isis was in his loving arms hugging him tightly. He looked down and Isis was prying his hands from Hermione and Harry’s grip. He fought to hold on but Isis’s little hands were over top of his. The warmth and strength he felt from his little girl made him know it was alright and he let go. Isis was rubbing his shoulder.

You’re hurt Daddy, let someone take care of you now.

Open your eyes Daddy…Trust me…Open your eyes now..

The image of his daughter became hazy and suddenly she was gone. Draco became aware that he had dropped both Hermione and Harry just as the vision of his daughter had shown him to do. Draco opened his eyes slowly expecting to find his worst nightmare but knowing it was really alright.

“I love you Draco. I love you so much.” Hermione was standing next to his body that was slumped against the chamber wall. He looked up and Harry and Ginny were smiling at him, with Ron at their side. They were all adults again looking the same as they did when they had stepped into the tomb the night they got there.

“I don’t know how you did it mate but you pulled us all up in one swift movement.” Harry clapped Draco on the back and Draco grimaced in pain. Hermione began rubbing his shoulder that had been pulled out of joint and lay heavy at his side now.

“Your husbands a hero Hermione.” Ginny said, her words fading from Draco’s auditory senses. Draco looked up and saw the vision of beauty before him. The Goddess Isis stood before them with her beloved husband at her side.

“Do you understand yet?” Isis was speaking directly and only to Draco. Draco’s head made a small movement as if to say no., but in reality he had always known since he first laid eyes on that beautiful head of hair and that beautiful face in this very tomb so many years ago.

The glowing figure of the Goddess Isis moved slowly towards him, her effervescence and life-force lighting up the night as she moved closer. Draco felt his shoulder miraculously heal itself. She reached for his hand and held it in her own now.

Trust me I said…and you did…

I love you father…It was my chance to return the favor…

Hermione watched and as she did so she began to understand as she and the others looked on.

“We are one.” The Goddess spoke to Draco and as she spoke he saw a small girl emerge form her white glowing light.

“We are one Daddy.” The figure that was his daughter said as she stood next to the now ghostly figure of the Goddess Isis.

“One cannot exist without the other…We are one together, father.” The Goddess Isis and Osiris in the flash of an eye returned to the heavens. Draco’s eye moved to the sky as he saw the stars in Orion separate and then reform with a bright twinkling.

“Bye!” His small eleven year old daughter said as her petite body stood taking in the night sky, her small body shaking in the cool wind as she stood barefoot in her white cotton nightgown. Draco ran to her and picked her up into his waiting arms. He hugged his little girl tightly, tears once again flowing with natural ease down his face as he looked up and held his arms open for Hermione to join them. Hermione ran to her husband and daughter and hugged them like it was her first time. Isis finally looked up and spoke.

“I miss Scorpius” and Hermione laughed and messed her hair up with her fingers as she kissed her daughter on the cheek and took her into her arms.

“I love you so much baby. Let’s go home.”

All were happy to go home and kiss their kids.

Nine months later…..

Ron and Neville stood in the delivery room at St. Mungo’s with cigars in their hands. Both were laughing and discussing the quidditch. Malfoy entered the room where Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley and Scorpius and Lily and Hermione’s parents all waited. Scorpius and Lily were sitting on the couch giving each other butterfly kisses as they giggled together.

“It’s a girl!” Draco screamed excitedly as Harry Potter congratulated him.

“It’s a boy!” Harry exclaimed and Draco and Harry both reached for the cigar Ron and Neville handed them.

As they lit it up their celebratory cigars Draco and Harry spoke.

“I’d rather fight that blasted mummy then go through that again.” Harry chuckled.

“Really?” Draco said.

“No, not at all, although Ginny can be pretty scary when she is in labor.” Draco laughed and then compared labor delivery wounds with Harry that their wives had given them in the heat of the moment of childbirth. The two men made their way back into the labor and delivery room where an exhausted Hermione and Ginny had given birth at the same time were resting. They had conceived that night above the stars with the help of Hermione’s sex potion and had then gone into labor and gave birth at the same time as well.

“She’s so beautiful Hermione she looks just like you but with my eyes.” Hermione smiled into their baby daughter’s face.

“Before you go get Isis and Scorpius to meet their baby sister I want to say something to you.” Hermione smiled at Draco.

“She is so perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing about this last year but…you have the next baby okay?” Draco laughed and kissed Hermione.

Draco and Harry wheeled their wives into the waiting room where a cake read.

Welcome to the world baby’s Hera and James

“Wouldn’t it be neat if their names were on a wedding cake when they grow up?” Ginny said to Hermione and Hermione giggled.

“God not this again,” Harry said as he caught the sight of Scorpius and Lily kissing in his peripheral vision and just smiled and shook his head.
