The Female Malfoy

9.

Lucia was the first to wake up. She pulled her mate a little closer to her, she remembered what happened last night and felt a little guilty. "Hey, none of that." She heard Severus said.

"You all needed your sleep too." She said.

"How would you feel if it was me?" He asked her. They have found out what seemed like long ago is they couldn't tell the other exactly what they needed to hear sometimes. It was better for them to come to the conclusion themselves.

"I would've freaked out, probably run to you without hesitation. I'd hold you until you calmed down. Once you did I would be happy that I was able to help you." She said burying her head into his hair. He kept her sane.

"Thats how I feel. I think we're all happy that we could be here for you." He said. Soon the rest of them woke up all saying similar things. It was unsaid that they are afraid what would happen if they weren't there.

The all packed for holiday break. Lucia finished first, kissed Severus, before she made her way to help everyone get packed.

"Is this normal for her?" Severus asked.

"No, it's not. It's happened before though. When something scares her so badly she will have a nightmare. Usually it's about one of us in the family. It's someone she's always close to. She's afraid about one of us being hurt. She will do everything she can to protect us." Draco said.

"What caused the one last night?"

"We think, it's the holiday break. You'll be coming home with us as her mate. She's afraid how the family will react. She thinks one of them might hurt you. She knows it's irrational but it's still a very real fear of hers." The twins said.

"Our Dogfathers will understand, mum and dad know what it's like being mates. We are unsure of how Aunt Bella and Uncle Rodol will handle it. Grandpa Tom we're uncertain about. She has ths support of all of us though, the twins, Thea, Blaize, Harry, Neville, and I." Draco said.

"If you add into the fact that Light is super scary when she wants to be and that Draco is just as about protective of you as Lucia is we will be fine. All of the rest of us have your back too. Though two angry and threatened Elementals won't be pretty if it comes to that." Thea said. It wasn't offen she talked and most of the school thought she was mute something she had never discouraged.

"It will be all okay, you're family and family sticks together no matter what. Though it is a strong belief that she will have a hard time coming to the conclusion that no one plans to hurt you." Blaize said last.

"We better get going, most of the younger years are probably heading out." Draco said. He called one of their house elves to bring all of their stuff to the manor. No need to carry things around when they don't have to.

"What happened?" Harry and Neville asked as the same time as Draco, the twins, Thea, Blaize, and Severus appeared.

"She couldn't handle the fear very well, it's all okay we've taken care of it." Draco said.

The train compartment which is normally crowded was a bit more so with the addition to Severus. He though, Was sitting on Lucia's lap. She didn't let him go anywhere.

"Lucia." Harry winned.

"Yes?" She knew what he was going to ask.

"Will you cook yule dinner?" He asked already expecting the no.

"Maybe, I was planning on it." She said surpising everyone besides Severus who felt like he was missing something.

"Really?" Was the response of most of the compartment.
