Cape of Storms

Chapter 13: I am Pursued

I was finally packed and with Lucius' help my luggage was shrunk and slipped into his pockets, all except Hedwig and Cid. Hedwig seemed to look me imploringly, hooting softly looking at her cage.

“What has gotten into your owl,” asked Lucius from across the room.

“I believe she wants to stay behind. I think we should let her. I mean, we'll have your Great horned owl; Bastien and Severus has that Spotted Owl Fennel, that Minerva gave him after he gave me Cid,” I rambled on.

“But why, does she want to stay behind,” asked Lucius.

“Seems she's found a mate in the owlery,” responded Severus as he entered the room with Fennel already in his black iron cage.

“A mate? That's rather odd…,” said Lucius.

“I said the same thing; she believes they paired up some time this winter when hunting. He's a real beauty; I saw the two of them flying last night. Seems he's a new owl for the school. Who knows the school could get three new chicks and not have to pay a knut for them,” responded Severus.

I smiled, seemed I wasn't the only one who had found love this year.

I left Hedwig's cage there and walked over giving her a pat which she returned with a gentle nip, hooting softly.

With that we left the room and made our way down to entryway where a Thestral drawn carriage sat waiting for us. Severus got in first while Lucius held the door. Severus held out a hand for me and I stepped up with a little help from both of them.

Once we were all in the carriage it started moving and I watched the scenery go by us until we came to Hogsmead. The carriage stopped in front of Madam Rosemerta's. Lucius was the first out and helped me out. I walked to the front of the carriage and patted the pair of Thestrals on the forehead before making my way into the pub, followed closely by both of my husbands.

“Well, look what the troll's drug in, and if it isn't Harry Potter with them. Leaving the school earlier than usual Severu, must be a new record,” said Madama Rosemerta grinning.

Sev gave her a small smile as he nodded and Lucius did pretty much the same.

She didn't seem a bit put off by their greeting but instead focused on me. It was easy to do since there was “more” of me to see and as I looked around the pub I found it oddly empty, then again it was nearly noon.

“I believe I've found the reason why. Well go ahead upstairs and get to flooing boys, can't be good for him to be standing about in this smoky place,” she said pointing a rag filled hand towards the stairs.

“We'll see you a week before school starts Rose,” said Severus leading the way up the stairs.

She nodded and went to wait on a customer. I followed Sev, my right hand planted firmly on the banister with Lucius at my back.

We reached the top of the stairs and made our way to an all too familiar room; the very same room I had watched Madam Rosemerta and some of the teachers meet to discuss Sirius' escape.

Lucius stood in front of the lit fireplace and took a handful of floo powder, “I'll go through first so that I can help Harry out of the floo when we get Malfoy Mannor.”

Severus nodded and we watched Lucius step into the fireplace calling out Malfoy Manor and green flames swallowed him and then there was nothing.

Severus led me to the fire place and I did as Lucius had, taking a handful of floo powder and stepped into the fireplace calling out “Malfoy Manor” and I watched as the flames engulfed me, the familiar feeling of being pushed and pulled and then I land rather roughly on my feet causing me to stumble from the fireplace and into Lucius' arms.

“Thanks Luc; I finally get the hang of flooing and then pregnancy goes and throws me off balance again,” I said as I stood up straight and dusted off my robes as Severus came through the fireplace.

“Well then, let's go to the parlor for some tea and a quick rest and then we'll go get situated in our rooms,” said Lucius holding out his hand.

I took it and held out my other for Severus who just rolled his eyes but took it anyway.

We walked into the parlor which was richly decorated, done in ivory, scarlet and trimmings of gold. It was a lovely sight. In the parlor sat Draco already sipping tea with none other than Blaise.

“Bout' time you all got here. Blaise and I have been waiting. We had a bet he and I; a bet that Harry would walk through here plump and pregnant. Pay up Blaise,” he said as he set his ivory tea cup trimmed in gold onto a saucer and held out his left hand which Blaise then placed a few pounds into.

“Zabini, you should know better than to bet against Draco, he only bets when the odds are in his favor,” said Severus as I was led to plush scarlet love seat. I had barely sat down before Severus brought over a matching foot stool and lifted my feet onto it.

“So I take it you haven't told all your friends that I am now the newest edition to your family nor that I am expecting a new edition,” I replied before having a cup and saucer of warm tea handed to me, which I sipped gingerly.

“Can't blame `im Harry, not everyday that your childhood rival becomes your step mom err…dad, and is pregnant,” replied Blaise reaching for his now cold tea and gulping it down after procuring it.

I rolled my eyes, “Nope wouldn't understand that at all…”

“I mean to say, none of us dislikes the idea of Mr. Malfoy remarrying. After Ms. Malfoy's death me an the others figured he'd find a nice young chit, you my friend are a bit of surprise there is no denying it,” said Blaise with a bit of a grin.

He certainly grinned a lot for a Slytherin, although it wasn't a goofy or odd grin, more like self assured and certain. I could see why Draco liked him though, he was tall dark and handsome, one of the men who matched those corny clichéd fortune teller fortunes. According to Lucius he also was very well to do and well known in the higher wizarding circles, he had no complaint to he and Draco being bonded and I rather hoped they did as well; it would be rather amusing seeing a pregnant Draco.

“Well Mr. Zabini, you were right on the young part, unless you thought I would go younger,” said Lucius with a slight questioning sneer.

“Not at all sirs; anyway…welcome to the family Harry. Now that you've taken my money and heart dear Dray what would you like next,” he asked turning to look Draco in the eye a big cat that ate the canary smirk in place.

“Well…I do believe that we should take our leave now. I'll be at my London flat father, should you have need of me. Thanks for the extra pocket change Harry; I shall get my new sibling a nice gift with it.”

I watched as Draco stood and began walking to the door, his left hand fisted in Blaise's collar tugging him along behind him, not that it looked as though Blaise seemed to mind.

As soon as they left the room the sounds of their apparition could be heard. I watched as Lucius and Sev both rolled their eyes at Draco and Blaise's antics.

“So I'm guessing that's not the first time they've behaved in such a manner,” I asked amused as I took another sip of my tea.

“If only…I caught the two of them making out in the potions store room third year and if I remember correctly Lucius came home and found them at it on his desk,” said Severus coming to sit beside me.

“Had to buy a new desk didn't you,” I asked as Lucius sat on the other side of me.

Sev hid a cough and Lucius shuddered, “Yes, gave my old one to Draco at his request.”

I couldn't help but grin at that reply.

“You know, we could christen the new desk,” said Lucius giving me a naughty smirk.

“That sounds like a good idea…but I would prefer to wait to christen it when I'm not as big as a whale,” I said rubbing my belly.

“We'll hold you to that,” said bother at the same time.

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

My days at the Malfoy Manor were enjoyable ones. I spent the first two days alone settling in and was given the grand tour. Most of the house had been done in shades of ivory and red with an occasional green here or there; but by far the greenest part of the entire mansion was the gardens out back; yes…gardens. He had botanical garden that had been Narcissa's doing but proved a great asset for Severus since it provided him with quite a few free potions ingredients, and a rose garden that reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, and then there was a water garden of sorts with many beautiful and linked ponds that had thriving lilies and other entrancing water flowers and cattails.

All the garden's had a seat of some sort, my favorite being the pagoda overlooking the ponds and tied with it the wooden bridge that crossed the largest of Lucius' ponds; which was filled with brightly colored Japanese koi that glimmered in the sunlight in shades of gold and silver.

It was noted by both that the gardens were my favorite place in all of Malfoy Manor, although when I wasn't in the gardens or the parlor I found myself in what became “our” quarters which was Lucius' room.

Lucius' room was done in a gorgeous shade raspberry, with shades of white, maroon and raspberry carpeting, bed linens and tapestries.

I found his house most comfortable, and was a fine place to visit but I couldn't see myself living here, no matter how comfortable. I counted down the days to myself til I would be back at my quiet seaside cottage.

I only hoped that Sev and Luc would enjoy my little cottage as much as I did; after seeing how Luc lived I had my doubts.

To Be Continued…

Yay, another chapter, so far so good. If you haven't voted for the sex of the baby yet…VOTE! So far Girls are winning! I believe by next chapter we should have a baby, so please vote.

Thanks for reading!
