Anna and Draco knew that sharing their pregnancy news with Anna's parents and brother, would be a special moment. With the happy energy of finding out still fresh, they eagerly anticipated seeing the reactions of Anna's family.
One sunny afternoon, they invited Anna's parents, James and Lily, and her brother, Harry, over for a casual family dinner. The house was filled with the delicious aroma of Anna's homemade roast and Draco's freshly baked bread.
As they all gathered around the dining table, the conversation flowed easily, filled with laughter and shared memories. Anna exchanged a knowing glance with Draco, her heart pounding with anticipation.
"Mom, Dad, Harry," Anna began, her voice steady but filled with excitement, "Draco and I have some wonderful news to share."
Harry looked up, his green eyes bright with curiosity. "What is it, Anna?"
Anna took Draco's hand and smiled. "We're going to have a baby."
For a moment, the room was silent as the Potters absorbed the news. Then, Lily let out a joyful cry, rushing to embrace Anna.
"Oh, Anna, that's fantastic news!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes shining with tears of happiness. "I'm so happy for you both!"
James stood and enveloped his daughter in a bear hug, his voice filled with pride. "Congratulations, Anna. Draco, this is wonderful."
Harry, who had been sitting in stunned silence, broke into a wide grin. "I'm going to be an uncle? That's amazing! Congratulations, sis."
The room buzzed with excitement and joy as they hugged, laughed, and shared their happiness. Anna felt a wave of relief and elation wash over her, grateful for her family's support and love.
As they sat back down to enjoy the meal, the conversation naturally turned to the baby. Lily and James shared stories of their own experiences as new parents, while Harry enthusiastically offered to babysit and teach the future Potter-Malfoy child to fly on a broomstick.
"What names are you thinking of?" Ginny asked, her curiosity piqued.
"We've decided on Davina for a girl," Anna said, smiling at Draco, "and Henrik for a boy."
"Both beautiful names," Harry said, nodding in approval. "I can't wait to meet my grandchild."
The evening passed in a warm, familial glow, filled with dreams of the future and the bond of shared joy. As the Potters prepared to leave, they each hugged Anna and Draco tightly, promising to be there every step of the way.
Later, as Anna and Draco tidied up, Anna felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Their baby was already surrounded by so much love, and she knew that with their families' support, they could face any challenge that came their way.

After sharing their joyous news with Anna family and basking in the outpouring of love and support, Anna and Draco knew there was one more person they needed to tell: Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy. Despite her often reserved demeanour, Narcissa had always been a pillar of strength and grace, and Draco knew that her reaction would mean the world to him.
They arranged to visit Malfoy Manor one crisp afternoon. The grand estate, with its manicured gardens and imposing architecture, stood as a testament to the Malfoy legacy. As they walked up the familiar path to the front door, Draco squeezed Anna's hand, drawing strength from her presence.
Narcissa greeted them with her usual elegance, her keen blue eyes softening as she embraced her son and daughter-in-law. "Draco, Anna, it's wonderful to see you both. Come in."
