HINNY, FOREVER (BOOK 3 OF HINNY THROUGH THE YEARS)

Malfoy Mansion

I don't own any of the characters. All credit goes to the Epic J.K. Rowling of course and always.

"So, explain this situation now, will you?" I asked.

Malfoy shared a glance with Teddy.

"He was in the prison with us." Teddy answered, "Helped us bail out."

"Did he now?" I looked up with raised brows. He huffed a small smirk and looked back at his soup.

"What were you doing there in the first place Malfoy? I mean, do you know who's behind this?"

"My sister in law." He answered, nonchalantly.

Both Teddy and I, eyed him. He was still looking at his soup, gulping a sip down.

"Why?" I gulped, "What has she got anything to do with Teddy?"

"Nothing with Teddy. More with Harry. She's working with that Pardaig. What a tool." He muttered.

"Why did he... or they take you?" Still unbelieving that I was sitting with Malfoy, sympathizing with the fact that after his crazy parents, he had a crazy sister in law. What a trade.

"My mark. They want to use it."

"Mark? To do what?" My heart dropped.

"Call on all the followers. Rest you can guess." He shrugged.

"Merlin." I whispered, looking at Lily and then Teddy, "So where does Harry fit in the equation?" I asked with a heavy heart.

"Recently..." He looked at Teddy. So did I.

"Oh, I'm not going anywhere." Teddy looked around, "Sorry." He dropped in his chair.

"Go on." I hid my grin, feeling okay with my ten years old boy knowing this.

"Potter's powers have been getting attention. When he was on the run, apparently, Pardaig and dear old bitch sis-in-law were keeping an eye on him." Malfoy's face turned sour and my eyes widened at the cussing.

"Easy." I called out. He looked at Teddy.

"He's ten. I knew more words by then." He smirked and Teddy turned red in face.

"You knew a lot by then." I gave a heavy tone to my voice so as to indicate every bad thing he'd done in school. Though I would agree on him calling Daphne a bitch. She was one in school even. She was always hanging around with that Pansy Parkinson. The girls were always walking as though they were the queens but truth be told, I always wanted to jinx their feet together into one toe and see how they could prance around with that.

"They think they can manipulate Potter."

"How?"

"By giving him the dark mark."

"Are you serious? Harry would never-"

"If his kids are going to die, he might just." Malfoy added with a raised brow.

I thought for a bit.

"No one can blackmail Harry into anything." I defended my husband, thought knowing well in my heart that Malfoy might be right.

"I stayed quiet for my son and wife. I turned into one of them for my parents. Voldemort would've killed them had I not. If I can do that, so will he." He degraded himself in front of me for the first time and that was a shocker. Draco Malfoy had nothing but his pride and he was bruising that right now. He was right about family, if he was this loyal, Harry was the king of such sacrifices.
