I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OF THE RIGHTS TO IT!!!! 

Over the next few months Miranda got bigger and bigger. She wanted to act as if everything was okay, but she was very stressed. She never forgot what Tom had said, about her daughter being his heir, and she did not want that life for her child. She had tried to talk to Derrick about it, but every time she had tried he just said that he was taking care of it.

She was sitting down one day knitting a blanket for her daughter, when the door bell rang. A house elf named Elly popped in front of her, “ Mistress, there is a Mrs. Malfoy here to speak to you.” She was confused but said “ Okay, Elly can you please escort her in here, I would go out and meet her myself but my back is killing me today.” She noticed that Elly's dress was beginning to tear at the bottom, probably because she was stepping on it. “ And after she leaves, I will fix your dress, and hem it for you.”

Elly's face lit up in joy, “Oh thank you Mistress, I will go get Mrs. Malfoy.” She waited no more than five minutes until she began to hear footsteps. “Mistress, Mrs. Malfoy is there anything that you would like?”
“ Narcissa, tea?” Miranda asked. “ Please and maybe some biscuits as well.” She said as she sat down on the chair opposite from Miranda. “ Mistress?” She looked at her house elf “Tea and some biscuits as well please. Also could you please get me just one more pillow? My back can not sit like this for much longer.” She explained.

Elly nodded. In just a few moments there was two cups of tea and a tray of biscuits between the two women, and also another pillow added to her back which let Miranda sit more comfortable. With seeing if the women needed anything else Elly left to take care of other matters in their home.

“Its lovely to see you Narcissa, I have not seen you since your wedding months ago. How have you been?” She asked. “ I have been great. And you, look amazing. Your skin is glowing and I can say very pregnant.” Miranda nodded her head. “Yes, very pregnant. Derrick wants me to be on bed rest, but I refuse. I can not stay in our bed room all day. Especially with the baby shower coming up in one week and also decorating the nursery.” Narcissa nodded her head in understanding. “I understand. I have found out months ago that I am pregnant as well, Lucius is excited of course, and I am as well.”

“Congratulations! Its a wonderful thing being pregnant, isn’t it?” Narcissa nodded her head. “Oh yes. It feels a bit strange but it is amazing.” “ Do you know the sex?” “ Yes, my child will be a boy. We have decided on the name of Draco Lucius. And your child?” “ My child is a girl, but we have not decided on a name yet, we decided to name her, when we can hold her and see what she looks like.”

Narcissa stayed quiet for a moment. “ You would Miranda.” Miranda just smiled at Narcissa. She looked like she was in a deep thought, “Miranda I, wanted to ask you something.” She took a deep breath.

“The Dark Lord has asked a request of you and I. Lucius told him that I was pregnant and the child was also a boy, and requested that when our children are of age, the will get married. I understand if you would not want to betroth your child so soon, but I so not see any harm in this. We are friends and when our children are born, we can raise them to be friends as well and they will grow to love each other.” Miranda just sat in her chair, and placed a hand on her big belly. “Lucius is okay with this?” Narcissa nodded. “He thought it was a great idea, probably because the Dark Lord suggested it. I think so as well.”

Miranda thought about herself in this situation, would she liked to be engaged to be married, with her best friend? Of course her best friend is Derrick but if she met him before she went to Hogwarts would things still be the same? She was thinking about it and simply said “My daughter will marry your son.” I just hope she will not hate me for this.
