the dragon's daughter

Chapter 59: What do you mean?

Draco POV

I woke up from a deep slumber when I got this weird feeling.  Something I haven't felt in a while. Not since him.  I unwrapped my arms from around my safe and slipped on a dressing gown.  Walking to my children's rooms.  

I heard a weird click and then a small slide.  Like when you open a window.  I realized it was coming from my daughters room and panic stuck, I pulled my wand from my pocket and swiftly entered the room. I saw a tall figure in a black cloak, standing near the bed where my sleeping daughter laid.  

"Who are you? What do you want?" 

"I don't want, I need.  But not now, when the time is right.  I was just paying a visit to my future queen.  But seeing as you don't want me to, I'll take my leave." He quickly slipped out the open window, disappearing mid air, setting off the ward.

"Fuck." I muttered.

"Daddy?" I heard a soft voice behind me. I turned and saw Aquila sitting up in bed, rubbing her eyes. 

"What's going on?"

"There was someone in here, they got away, they said something about you." I said trying to explain, the whole thing didn't make sense to me either.

"Do you know who?" She said, a bit of fear in her voice.

"No" I whispered. I walked over to the bed and sat on the edge.  I pulled her closer to me, hugging her.  I kissed the top of her head, which was laid on my chest.

"Nothing will happen to you.  I'll make sure of it." 

She mumbled into my shirt, slowly drifting off to sleep.  

I carefully moved her to lay on the bed and tucked her in.  I kissed her head once more before retreating to my study.  I wrote an owl to Harry, one to the ministry, one to Blaise, one to Theo, and one to every Weasley family. Sending them off with my owl and slumping back into my chair, unwillingly falling asleep. 

Blaise POV 

I woke up to a scratching sound, realizing it was an owl I carefully untangled myself from my sleeping beauty and went to the window.  I saw the Malfoy owl, one that Draco has had since his first year.  I didn't know what he wanted at this hour but it must be important.  I took the note and sent the owl on its way.  

I opened it to see read something I never want to.  I quickly changed and kissed Maria's head, writing a note saying what happened.  I flooed to Draco's study to find a bunch of other sleepy witches and wizards already there.  

"Now that Zabini is here, what happened?" Hermione asked. 

"I woke up to a weird feeling, not realizing it was the wards being set off.  I walked to our children's wing, hearing weird noise I walked into Aquila's room and found a cloaked figure standing next to her while she slept.  I asked who they were and why they were here.  They answered that they needed my daughter for something but not now, later.  That she was their future Queen. I don't know what that means, before u could do anything he jumped out the window and apparated."

"So we have a stalker-like situation." Harry pointed the obvious.

"The question is, are they related." Bill asked.

"Related?" Theo asked back.

"To the dementor attack, are they related?  Are they apart of some group or is this an individual?"  He clarified.  

That's a good question.  

"Possible." Harry deemed.

"But why Aquila?  Lana is just a 'traitor' as Aquila." I asked, fearing my daughter would be next.
