Malfoy Mannor: Christmas

[gorgonfondness]

Two pairs walked up to the doors of Malfoy Manor.

First were grandmother and grandson walking hand in hand, though Cepheus soon let go of Lemia so that he might chase the peafowl. Their only warning is the gleeful cry of, "Hi birdies!"

Second were husband and wife, Draco chuckling and holding Mia just a bit tighter as they watched their son run around the grounds.

"Cepheus, come back, sweetheart!" Lemia calls as Mia and Draco join her. "It's time for you to come see your grandmother and grandfather."

"No!" he cheerfully replies, still running around.

Lemia shakes her head and keeps her eye on him as the commotion draws Narcissa to the door. Draco comes forward to greet his mother. He's shortly followed by Mia, who gives her mother-in-law a hug. It was an unusual hug for two reasons...

Narcissa had warmed considerably to her daughter in law, but she still seemed surprised when she hugged her. She raised a blond eyebrow with curiosity before glancing between them.

"I suppose you have more than usual news for us?"

Draco nodded as he stepped back to hold Mia's hand again, "Yes, you could say that."

As night crept over England, Mia stirred and woke up in an unfamiliar bedroom. At this hour, her brain was not ready to accept this.

"Draco!" she whispers, shaking her husband's shoulder. "Draco, wake up!"

Once Christmas morning actually came around, it didn't take long for everyone to get caught up in Cepheus's whirlwind of excitement.

Though Mia did take a moment to say, "Cepheus, do you want to open your present from the baby?"

"Fom baby?" he asks, sitting in a pile of wrapping paper and toys.

"Draco, would you mind getting the two thin packages? One's for you from me."
