The House of Gaunt

Chapter 17

It feels like we've been arguing for hours. Only ten minutes have passed, Cissy's clock is so pretty!

"You can't be pregnant!" That was for sure Maximiliano.

"I do not want another sibling, have you seen these three idiots!?"

"Oh, I hate you too!" I wished Michael would just shut up.

"Dad, this is all you fault." And there is Matt, always bringing in the biological stuff. Will he shut up?

"Wha- my fault?"

"You'll love this little baby!" And of course, the most beautiful person to ever exist. My mom. Everyone just keeps arguing, all I hear are screams. This isn't what mum wants, this isn't how she hoped we would react. Oh, Merlin, I messed up. She's hurt.

"Can you three shut up?" I scream at my brothers and I hear Michael scoff. "You are very bold for someone your height."

"That's it!" I scream and launch myself at him. Unfortunately, I couldn't. Dad levitated me, can you believe him? I hear chuckles from the horrible siblings I have.

"Let me down!" I tell him. "Not until you calm down." I look to his right, there is my mom. She looks very, very hurt. I am one bloody ungrateful daughter. After everything she does for us? All the patience that she has? We don't deserve her.

"Alright, I'm calm." He finally sets me on the couch. I look at my brothers, they look bloody happy too. "I'm sorry, mum." Maximiliano is the first to speak up.

"I'm sorry too." My two oldest brothers say in unison. I smile. "Me as well. I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have done that." I look at her with guilty eyes.

"Nothing you four do will make me not accept your apologies. I do forgive you, kids. I just thought you would be happy to have another kid around here. It's been a long while. Mads, you are going to be older for the first time! That should be exciting. I was the youngest for a long time too. When your uncle, may he rest in peace, was born I was happy to be his older sister. After years of everyone telling me what to do," she chuckles and I do too, "I hope now, you all will change your perspectives on your little siblings."

I smile, she is from another world. There is no one like her. And then it came to me. "Wait. Siblings. Plural?"

"Oh, Merlin, you're having triplets?" Maximiliano asks. At least now everyone's calm...sort of.

My parents laugh. "Close, Maxi, twins!" My mum says. I cannot even believe it! I am actually happy, I mean two girls or boys to boss around. I can't wait.

"Congratulations, mum! When are they born?" I ask.

"I am two months pregnant which means I'll give birth in August! The doctor said approximately the first week."

"Alright let's get moving. You'll be late to Hogwarts!" Merlin, why do I keep forgetting about that?

Dad opens the door of Narcissa's study and we find her and Draco on a couch reading. Well, more like Cissy reading. Draco is almost asleep on her lap.

"How did it go, Charlie? Valentino?" She has an eyebrow arched. Cissy knew! Well, she can keep a secret!

"Not good at first, now they are calm. I think, I hope." My mom smiles and the four of us look at each other. Cissy gently wakes up Draco. I internally laugh. Imagine me waking him up? That would be so good. Oh! New idea for Hogwarts.

Cissy apparated us directly into the platform for our train. Does that mean Draco has never ran through platforms nine and ten? It must be so boring! My mum and dad went home, since my mum can't apparate and dad didn't want to leave her alone.
