The duel

Draco is feeding Cassie when Nebula comes into the living room. She sits down next to him, "I am scared, dad." He looks at her, "About my duel tomorrow?" She nods, "What if he kills you?" Death appears in the room, "Fear not child. I will protect him, should it get dire." He pops out again, Nebula blinks, "It's weird when he does that." Draco burbs his daughter, "You get used to it. I have something Ron hasn't. I have my family waiting for me. I will always fight to get back to you, your siblings and your father. Ron only has his sister and mother left now and he isn't fighting for them. He is over confident and he doesn't know I can do wandless and wordless magic. Everyone knows he doesn't stand a chance."

She takes her sister and blows a raspberry on her cheek, making her giggle, "You could end the duel in two seconds if you wanted to, right?" He nods, "I could but I talked to the others and I will dish out some pain before I finish him off. Not that I ever want you to do that." She rocks her sister, "Is this payback for what he did in the bad life?" He puts an arm around her, "Partly. He also said mean things about me and said I was controlling your father. That I was using him and he hurt Auntie Mione. He is not a good guy."

She hands him a charm bracelet, "I made this for you, for good luck." He hugs her and kisses the side of her head, "Thank you, I love you. I am proud of you." She leans against him, "Do you regret having me so young?" He shakes his head in denial, "Never. You were a surprise but we could never regret having you."

Remus and Scorpius enter, Scorp runs to his daddy and climbs in his lap. He hands him his favorite plushy, "For good luck tomorrow, daddy." He takes it and kisses his temple, "Thank you. I will give this back to you after I've beaten him. I love you." Scorpius nods and kisses his cheek then climbs into Nebula's lap and whispers, "We can eat cookies before lunch tomorrow." She laughs and hugs her brother with her free arm.

Draco gets up and walks into Remus' arms, "We have amazing kids." Remus hums, "We do." He transforms his pen into a camera and takes pictures of their kids." Draco sighs, "Do you mind if they spend the night with us?" Remus shakes his head, "Not at all."

Harry hugs his brother, "Give him hell. He doesn't deserve any less." Severus puts his hands on his godson's shoulders, "Believe in yourself. We all know you can beat him in your sleep." Narcissa cups his cheeks, "Good luck my son." She kisses his temple before Andromeda hugs him. Next Draco gets hugs and good luck wishes from his siblings. Thanks to Severus' potion Narcissa was able to have two more children, Danica and Castor and they adopted two more, Alice and Timmy.

Gellert looks at Draco, "Ron will try to use some dark and old spells. Your modified protection shield will absorb them and bounce them back should they reach the shield at all. Cast a patronus, Albus will believe you won't be able to because he believes you are a Death Eater or have dark core, never mind that he also has a dark core and he himself can cast one."

Hermione hugs him and whispers, "Make him pay." After the others wish him good luck his children run towards him. Cassie hands him her pacifier, "You want me to take this?" She pushes it into his hand, Nebula murmurs, "She can feel that something is happening. She wants you to have this for good luck." Draco takes it and kisses her forehead before handing her to Harry.

Draco, Remus, Sirius, Lucius and Aegis are talking to the Swiss Minister. They hear Ron before they see him. With him are his sister and her husband and Lavender Brown. Aegis has to laugh at the look of loathing on Ginny's and Albus' faces.

Ron confronts Draco, "Ready to die you filth?" Draco rolls his eyes, "How long did it take your small brain to come up with that? Your vocabulary is really limited. How did you manage to graduate?" Ron fumes and turns to Remus, "I will save you from him. You will be free once I kill him. You can marry a nice woman and your kids can have a mother. You can be a normal family." Remus steps forward, his eyes turn yellow and his teeth elongate. He growls, "I don't need to be saved. I don't want a woman. Draco is my mate, I don't need anyone else." Ron takes a step back and whimpers. Draco laughs, "I think he might have pissed himself."
