Midnight

29.) Patrick's Past.

The mouth was July. A month had past since the news of the second pregnancy of Draco Malfoy and Harry kept quiet for about a week, but turned back into himself once more.

The twins were still in daycare, and Narcissa Bell was running around the house that day. Doris, agreed to keep an eye on the girl during the summer, who got into some candy and was running around as James and Bellatrix slept upstairs, James working the night before the tonight.

Doris settled on the couch about lunch time and picked up her current book and was a very chapters in when Narcissa Bell climbed on the couch beside her. She was finished running. "Doris?" She asked. "Yes, sweetie?" She asked. "Patrick. He's different now." She said. "I don't...think I understand." Doris said, putting down her book. "I like Patrick now, not before, but..He's angry, I can tell and that man won't let him leave like he wants to." Narcissa said. "That's...something you shouldn't worry about, sweet girl." Rita said. "I might be small, but I have powers Too." Narcissa said. "I'm aware you were turned, but...it's not his place to share and I am not ready to talk about it, I'm sorry." Doris said. "Well...Okay. I like you being my nanny. Was Patrick your only baby?" She asked. "No, but he was my baby. I had three little ones." She said and Narcissa bell smiled. "Okay." She said, before she ran off.

Harry and Patrick walked through the door about lunch time in the middle of somewhat of a heated argument. "That's bullshit and you know it, Patrick." Harry huffed, hanging up the light jacket he had on. "I don't like it anymore then you do, Potter. Starling likes to just throw people back." Patrick pointed out. "Like you don't have your fair share of bitch slaps." Harry said, letting out an annoyed huff. "I had my reasons and you know that." Patrick said. "He won't stop me." Harry said. "He was clear! You think I like this any better? Mark fucked with you and your father but-" Patrick started. "Enough! The both of you!" Starling said. Harry just turned, his arms across. "You can't tell me the trail is starting, yet tell me I can't come. What shit is that?" Harry huffed. "You're time will come, along with your father, but enough Humans are in Victoria, I can't have yours following at the moment." Starling said. "Nothing I can't handle and I think you know that." Harry said. "Potter, I'm not having this discussion. The answer is no. Your staying put and I mean that." Starling said and after a pause, Harry just stormed upstairs. "What does that, have to do with Ray?" Patrick said. "Nothing you are to worry about, Patrick. Report back to the council on Friday." Starling said and after a pause. "Yes, sir." Patrick said, and starling disappeared.

Patrick dropped down on the couch, pausing his mother's reading. She wasn't really reading since the pair entered the home, she just didn't want to seem that obvious. "What...was that about?" She asked. "Nothing that you should worry about ma. It's a clear night, so we are going out." Patrick said. "I'm actually fine, Patrick, and I know you are too. How...is the girl?" She said. "Mac? I know...you don't like we aren't married ma." Patrick said. "I understand we are in another time son... It's fine, but I swear she's been on the phone often. The last couple of nights." Doris said. "I'm sure it's nothing." Patrick said. "She seems overwhelmed by whatever is going on during the phonecalls." Doris said. "I'll ask her about it, ma. Narcissa Annabelle keeping you busy?" Patrick said. "Just bell!" Fussed the vampire girl, standing before them. "I'm certain your middle name is Annabelle." Patrick said. "That I don't like. Just Bell. I already told you this." She fussed. "It sound like you, need a nap." Patrick said. "I don't need a nap." She said. "I think you do, come on, sweetie." Doris said, getting to her feet. Narcissa bell huffed, but took her hand.

When McKenzie got off work, she walked through the manor into the bedroom she'd been sharing with Patrick, her vampire boyfriend. Patrick was standing at his closet, looking at the clothes Narcissa Malfoy had slowly bought over the months for the young man. "Mac, what's going on?" Patrick asked, shutting the closet door. "Nothing, why do you ask?" She asked. "My ma doesn't sleep much. Says you've been up the last couple of nights on that cell phone of yours. She's right, something's got you overwhelmed and I don't want to lurk." Patrick said and she let out a sigh. "It's just some family drama with one of my brothers. My father is handling it, or trying to, but my brother is being stupid." She said. Patrick sat down on the bed and held out his hand. She gave him a light smile and let him pull her to the bed, taking the spot on his lap. "What's going on with your brother?" Patrick asked. "He's....got a big problem with drugs." She said. "I'm...not sure I understand." Patrick said. "Um...pretty much it's Little pills he takes that's he has an addiction too, that can kill him. In fact he has already been in the hospital twice, but my father can't have him admitted, he has to volunteer, but he won't." Mackenzie said. "So, he needs a bit of help to what....sign something?" Patrick asked. "...I don't know if it's right of me to ask you to do such a thing." She said, getting a light kiss. "You didn't. Let's go see if we can help out your father." Patrick said.
