Go back to Part 1 - Next Year


Christmas day arrived, and it was with some trepidation that Draco and Harry walked through the Manor gates. Harry still wasn't comfortable around Lucius after all this time, and he was feeling more than a little bit vulnerable in his present condition. He was, however, looking forward to seeing Narcissa.

As it turned out, there had been nothing to worry about. In fact, thanks to Draco, the evening had turned out very well indeed.

---

Harry Floo-called Ron and Hermione, as he had promised, as soon as they had arrived home. They knew he was nervous about sharing their news with Draco's parents, and short of going with them, it was the best they could offer.

"You would have been very impressed, Ron. Draco spent the entire evening dropping hints about the Malfoy line and how far back it went, knowing full well that Lucius always loved to berate him for not carrying on the name. So when Lucius started in on him, Draco --"

"Might I tell them?" Draco interrupted. Harry nodded. "I said, 'Oh, Father, I'm sorry. I got so immersed in our conversations this evening that I completely forgot to mention that Harry's pregnant.'"

"Sly as a fox, you are," Ron commented, sounding impressed.

"Yeah," Harry grinned. "It's a talent."

Draco's brilliant! A true Slytherin for sure. I loved the way he told Lucius about Harry's pregnancy ... pure genius!

I love this and I'm glad you decided to make a follow up to the first one!

Thanks for sharing!

And you know I'm not one to break tradition:

Is there such a thing as a bad TW pic? He's just too yummy for words.

Glad you liked Slytherin!Draco in this one. Heh.

LOL! Excellent.

Oh...and look up above...it's TW again. *licks him*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yup, she's honouring me with a TW pic every time I post a fic. Works for me!

How cute! Love the way Draco told Lucius the news.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Years of practice at being sly ... ;)

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

I think they're a very talented couple!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Good point.

[prettyhairs.livejournal.com]

^-^ Very nice!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Maybe the only thing amiss is that they didn't take a photo of Lucius right after hearing the news, just before he had time to pick his jaw up from the table I'm sure Malfoys do drop their jaws like everyone else, but only for nanoseconds

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

You go Draco! I love when he gently puts Lucius in his place. lol

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heheheh.

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, very cunning of Draco. *g*

I would have loved to see Lucius' reaction. ;D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Ahh ... brings tears to the eyes when your children surpass you (in this case, in sneakiness). *grins*

[gurliemoviegeek.livejournal.com]

*giggles*
Way to get the last laugh, Draco!

Thanks for the warm fuzzies, darling!

:D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Go Draco!

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

That was brilliantly done. I love a snarky Draco! Thanks!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

And ... it's Draco for the win! Yaaaaay! *\o/*

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

Clever Draco! Reeled Lucius right in!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. He's not a Slytherin for nothin'!!! *snickers*

[felaine.livejournal.com]

Perfect, thanks so much. You managed to use my requests in both ways.
Love our buys getting the better of LM. And Harry wanting to have a preggers chat with Narcissa is too funny.
Good work all the way around.

You are welcome so much. I had the last couple of lines written right after you gave me the prompt. Then when you asked for a look into what went on at the Manor, I was able to do the beginning. Yay!

Mmmmmmmm ... *takes sip* ... Hot Buttered Rum. Thanks!
