ethereal - draco malfoy

19 years later

Draco and I ended up having two kids. Our oldest's name was Malachi Scorpius Malfoy, but we called him Kai. Two years later we had a girl, and we named her Eliza Mai Malfoy, but we called her Liza. Kai and Liza both got my black hair, but Liza had platinum blonde streaks in hers and they both got Draco's grey eyes.

Kai and Liza were both sorted into Slytherin, and despite bickering sometimes, they were extremely close. Kai was extremely protective over his little sister, and Draco and I had to go up to Hogwarts numerous times because Liza and Kai both loved to fight. Draco claimed that they got that from me.

Daphne and Blaise had their first son six hours before I had Kai and they named him Elijah. Their second child was born 17 hours after Liza, and her name was Olivia.

Elijah and Olivia were both Slytherins as well. Elijah and Kai were best friends, just like Blaise and Draco. Liza and Olivia were best friends as well, just like Daphne and I. Olivia took after Daphne's attitude while Elijah took after Blaise's sense of humor. Needless to say, they argued often.

Luna and Jack had two daughters; twins. They were born three years after Kai. The oldest's name was Nova, and 14 minutes later, Nadia was born. Nova had Luna's blonde hair and Jack's brown eyes, while Nadia had Jack's brown hair and Luna's blue eyes. Draco liked to call them "mismatched".

Nova got sorted into Slytherin, while Nadia got sorted into Ravenclaw. All of the other children of the lot didn't treat Nadia any less than the others, and they never left her out or anything along those lines. Nova got Jack's temper and Luna's quietness and Nadia got Jack's sense of humor and Luna's smarts.

Astoria and Theo had two sons; also twins. The group kind of just agreed that Theo and Jack must've been the reason behind that. They were born three months after Kai. Samuel was born first, then Isaiah was born 27 minutes later.

Samuel and Isaiah were both sorted into Slytherin. Samuel was an exact replica of Theo, and it shook the original group to our cores. Isaiah was a drama-queen with a snide attitude, just like Astoria. They were practically miniature versions of their parents.

The eight of them spent all of their time together, even when they went to Hogwarts. Nadia was the only Ravenclaw, but she was still treated just like everyone else. They actually admired that she was in Ravenclaw, and I was also quite proud.

We all spent all of our holidays together, went on trips together, etc. The children always stayed at each other's Manors and any time they had an excuse or opportunity to stay the night with one another, they took it without hesitation.

We stood on platform 9 and 3/4 beside the Hogwarts Express. Kai and Elijah would be going into their sixth year, Samuel and Isaiah would also be going into their sixth year and Liza, Olivia, Nova and Nadia would be going into their fourth year. We all had our children extremely close together.

"Make sure you write us as soon as you get to your dorms." Daphne said to Liza, Olivia, Nova and Nadia. Daphne, Astoria, Luna and I spoke to the girls while Blaise, Theo, Jack and Draco spoke to the boys. The girls nodded and we all hugged our children.

"I love you." I whispered into Liza's ear as I rubbed her back with my hand. "I love you, mum. I'll write you as often as I can." she said, pulling away. I smiled before passing her to Draco just as he was passing Kai to me.

Kai hated hugs and affection in general. I mean, so did Liza, but she got over it when I got all emotional. "Be good. If you get into any fights, remember what I said." I reminded him.

"I know, mum. Don't fight to win, fight to send them to the infirmary or their grave." he recited dutifully. I smiled and ran a hand through his soft, curly hair. "That's my boy."

He smiled and kissed my cheek. "I love you, mum." he said, sending me a soft smile. I pursed my lips, willing myself not to cry. "I love you." I replied. He pulled me into an embrace before joining the others and boarding the train with them.

Draco wrapped an arm around my waist as we watched the train leave the station. I had been through this six times already, but it never got easier. It was like that train took a part of me with it every time it left - and it really did.

"Rora, love." Draco said, making me look up at him. He glanced down at me and raised a single brow. "Did you tell our son to send others to the infirmary or their graves?" he questioned. I smiled sheepishly as I nodded my head slowly. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair in a tired manner. "Why am I not surprised?" he asked rhetorically.

I smiled innocently as I stood on my tippy-toes and placed a quick kiss on his lips. We then turned to the original lot to join in on their conversation. "Dinner at our place?" Draco chimed, earning everyone's attention.

Everyone glanced at their spouses for assurance before turning back to us and nodding. We said our goodbyes before apparating away and back to the manor. As we walked up the long, paved pathway to the manor, I stood a quick glance of Draco. The morning sun hit his perfect alabaster skin just right, and he looked... ethereal.
