We Didn't Have a Choice

25 - Fulfilled

I hardly slept. A mix of emotions were running through me. Draco was alive, and he loved me back, but we still have to fix the Cabinet and kill Dumbledore which I have to do while pregnant.

Draco on the other hand, slept soundly throughout the night.

Light flooded the Hospital Wing alerting me that it was morning. Madam Pomfrey walked over to Draco's bed and told me to wait outside while she checked him over. I walked outside of the infirmary and felt my stomach drop when I saw Potter.

"W-what do you want?"

"To be forgiven. I was under a love potion. I'm sorry," he said apologetically.

"Okay, but that still doesn't make up for you almost killing Draco," I sneered.

"He was about to use the Cruciatus Curse, and in my defense, I didn't actually know what Sectumsempra did."

"Whatever. Just stay away from us." I expected him to walk away, but he didn't. "Can you leave?"

Harry leaned against the wall and sighed. "Why do you associate with Malfoy?"

"He's a good friend. Why do you associate with Mudblood?"

He glared at me. "So you're one of those. A blood supremacist," he spat.

"And you nearly murdered my hus-friend," I corrected, "So that makes you a murderer."

Harry raised an eyebrow at me. "Malfoy doesn't love you."

"Never said he did, Pottah," I replied.

He sighed. "You're a pretty girl, but you're dumb. Why do you follow in the footsteps of your parents?"

Anger coursed through me. Who does he think he is to speak about my family and me like that?

I stomped up to him and pushed him against the wall, holding my wand to his neck. "Fuck you!" I snarled, digging my wand deeper into his neck, "Don't you dare speak about my family or me like that when you haven't even bothered getting to know me!"

"No need for me to get to know you when I know who your family associates with. I saw your father in Death Eater attire the night Cedric Diggory was killed."

"I'm not my father!"

"Miss Edwards!" I heard Snape curt.

"What!?" I chided.

"Let go of Mr. Potter."

I rolled my eyes and removed my wand from his neck.

"Good. Now scram!" he barked at Harry.

I tucked my wand into my pocket and walked back to the infirmary. "Not so fast, Mrs. Malfoy," Snape said, making me stop.

"Yes, professor?"

He walked up behind me and whispered in my ear, "Watch what you say. Mr. Potter will know something is up if you continue to let your temper get the best of you."

"Well he has no right to speak about my family like that."

"You'll have no family for him to speak about if you screw up the tasks asked of you by the Dark Lord," he said in his usual bland voice before turning dramatically and walking off.

Draco pulled out my chair for me as other Death Eaters sat down in the empty chairs for a much dreaded meeting. Voldemort took his usual seat at the head of the table.

"Welcome, everyone."

We all nodded to Voldemort before he addressed a group of Death Eaters that sat across from Draco and me. I placed a shaky hand on my bump as I waited for him to speak to Draco and me.
