The Werewolf's Daughter

What about our future?

AN: So this is it for The Werewolf's Daughter...but look out for the sequel 'To eighth year and beyond' which  I will be putting on here soon. 

Maya woke up on 14th August, when Arya was a week old, and felt like she had had the best night sleep ever. Suddenly, she noticed Draco was still next to her – sleeping peacefully. Something wasn't right. Normally one of them would be up with Arya by this time.

Maya sat up and quickly jumped out of bed. Arya wasn't in her cot. She was just about to start shouting when she heard someone saying:

'Come on, give Grandad a smile!'

Confused, Maya stepped out of their room and followed the voice until she found Sirius, lying next to Arya on his bed. Her daughter was wide awake, and Sirius was watching her adoringly.

'Arya, tell Granddad Sirius not to steal you again or Mummy might knock him out.' She yawned and Sirius looked at the door.

'You and Draco were tired. I'm sorry – I didn't mean to panic you.'

Maya laughed 'I was just joking – you steal her anytime you like.'

'Oh, you're up.' Remus said, coming in to Sirius' room with a bottle. 'Do you want to feed her.'

Maya was about to say yes, but then she yawned. 'Actually, do you mind if I got back to bed?' she asked. Both men grinned at her and shooed her away. 'Leave our granddaughter with us.'

Maya smiled and went back to their room, climbing over Draco to get back in bed. He stirred slightly. 'Arya ok?' he asked.

'She is. She's currently being fawned over by her Granddads.' Maya sighed, pulling his arm around her and going back to sleep.

...

Maya and Arya were down in the kitchen on the morning of 17th August, when an owl flew through the window and dropped a couple of letters in front of them.

'What's this?' she said, looking at the letters and cooing at her daughter.

'One for Mummy and one for Daddy. I wonder what these could be?' she said out loud. She placed Arya in her basket and opened the letter for her – setting the letter for Draco to one side.

'Dear Miss Jones,

I write to inform you that I will be holding a meeting at Hogwarts tomorrow evening; this meeting is for all students that would have completed their seventh-year last year. I do hope you will come along.

Oh – and congratulations on the birth of your daughter Miss Jones, I hear she is beautiful and can't wait to meet her.

Minerva McGonagall,

Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'

Maya smiled but was still confused. 'I wonder what this is about?' she cooed to Arya, who was staring up at her. 'Shall we go and see Granddad Moony and see if he knows?'

'Dad, I got this strange letter from Professor McGonagall.' She said, walking in to his office carrying Arya and the letter, 'Do you know what it's about?' she asked. 'Hi Teddy!' she said to her baby brother. 'Hi, My My' he answered, starting at Arya.

'Teddy, if I put Arya down here, will you watch her? Just let her lie on the floor though ok?' Teddy nodded.

Maya say in the chair opposite her dad, keeping one eye on her brother and daughter. 'So, do you know what it's about?'

'I might.' He answered, suspiciously.

'Dad, tell me.'

'No. If you're so curious, go along to the school tomorrow as asked.'

Maya glared at her dad. 'I'll babysit if you want?'

Maya shook her head, 'Minerva wants to meet her.'

'Ok, enjoy.' He said, chuckling.

Maya took Arya and went upstairs to take Draco his letter. 'Where's Daddy?' she asked the baby, as they stepped into their empty room.

'Oh, I think Daddy is in the shower.' She said, placing Arya in her cot, putting the letter on the side and going to join her boyfriend in the shower. She stripped and stepped in to the shower, wrapping her arms around his torso.

'Hi' she whispered against his back.

'This is a surprise' he responded.

'It is?'

'Yeah. I thought after I broke your vagina that you wouldn't come near me ever again.' He chuckled.

Maya laughed. I'm not coming near you with that right now – still a bit tender after pushing out your big baby; I just wanted to be close to you.' She said, kissing his neck and squeezing his bum.

Draco turned around and leaned down to kiss her. Unlike all their other showers, there was definitely nothing sexual about this one. They just enjoyed being close to each other.

'Is Arya ok?' he asked, after they parted for air.

'She's perfect.' she whispered back, kissing him again.

'It's getting a bit cold.' He said eventually, helping her out of the shower and wrapping her in a huge fluffy towel.

'What's this?' he asked, stepping out in to the room and picking up the letter.

'Read it – see if you make more sense of it then me.' She responded.

Draco read it but he was just as confused as Maya. 'Guess we'll just have to go along and see.' He said.

...

'Thank you all for coming along tonight. You are students who should have completed your seventh-year last year; due to the war the completion was not possible. I would therefore like to offer you all the chance to come back. You can come back as eighth years and complete your NEWTS.'

'This is not mandatory of course, but if you could all consider it and let me know, by 21st August, I would appreciate it.'

Maya and Draco looked at each other; Draco looked excited but Maya was unsure. How could they come back to school with a baby?

'Miss Jones, Mr Malfoy, can I have a word?'

'The offer I have just extended to these students includes both of you; and if you both decide to come back, we will make childcare arrangements for you.'

Maya gasped. 'Really Professor? You would do that for us?'

'Of course. We would like to encourage you to get your NEWTS.' She answered, smiling at them and asking if she could hold Arya.

Maya handed the baby over and then looked at Draco. Silently, they agreed. They were heading back to Hogwarts.
