Merry Christmas

So hey guys, it's been a while but here is the next chapter or Secret Malfoy :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS

25th DECEMBER 2017

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE"

Evangeline Malfoy rolled over so she was on her front, throwing her pillow over her head to block out the awful noise that was her brother singing muggle Christmas songs. She wasn't going to lie, she loved Christmas! But this was that one time of the year where she wished she stayed in her parents' side of the manor.

Okay she didn't, she knew what they got up to there.

But sharing half of the manor with her three siblings (soon to be four) when two of them were over excitable goons was not a good thing.

Suddenly, her bedroom door flung open to reveal her brother Hyperion singing his head off.

"SNOW IS FALLING, ALL AROUND US"

Eva pushed her pillow away and glared at him "Yeah but it's not is it. So go away" and then she threw the pillow at his head. Being completely pants at Quidditch, he dropped it.

"Um, I think you'll find that you are mistaken sister, have you looked outside?"

Eva rolled her eyes before shuffling over her bed so she could peer out of the window. Opening up her blue curtains she was shocked to see that her brother was telling the truth. Out of the large window there was snow falling rapidly onto an already white blanket covering the ground. She grinned before getting up properly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Get out of my room Hyperion, last person outside is a rotten flobberworm"

"Not fair, my room is at the other end of the hall"

"Well then, you better get a move on" she said, pulling out her underwear from a drawer as Hyperion ran out of the room to get reading before his older sister.

Twenty minutes later, Evangeline Malfoy was ready and dressed in warm winter clothes. Her white ski coat was buttoned up to her collar and her ski boots covered her feet. She and her family had gone skiing last year and luckily she hadn't grown at all. She pulled up her fur lined hood and skipped out of the room to beat her annoying brother.

Unfortunately he was already there, dressed in his Gryffindor red jacket and boots, his blonde hair tousled and unkempt. He grinned when he saw Eva.

"Ha, I knew I would beat you, you're too girly and perfect"

"What do you mean? I didn't have a shower this morning because of you and I am very proud of myself"

"Mm, but you still took five minutes brushing your hair"

"Just because I take care in what I look li..." but she was cut off as Hyperion laughed

"Eva, we're going outside to play in the snow. You are not going to bump into some super cute guy who is going to immediately whisk you off your feet and take you away to fairyland"

I raised an eyebrow at him but he just shrugged

"What?"

"Nothing, you just never fail to amaze me"

"That's because I'm awesome" he gushed before running across the large entrance hall to go out into the grounds. He pushed open the door and ran around the gardens. Eva watched her energetic brother as the snow whirled around him, landing on his nose and hair. He flicked up his tongue to lick a bit off his top lip and Eva giggled.

She stopped when she felt a cold sting on her cheek and lifted her hand to feel wet snow dripping down it. She turned and glared at her brother.

"Hyperion, that's not fair"

He spun around, shocked by her outburst "What's not fair?"

"You threw a snowball at my face!" she shrieked

"No I didn't" he stuck his gloves in her face "See, they're dry"

"Well then who..." she looked around just in time to see a snowball heading straight for her face. She ducked and heard a cry from behind her, the snowball had hit Hyperion.

"Aha, and you thought you were the early birds" a voice that sounded a lot like her father shouted from in front of her and she looked up to see the other four members of her and Hyperion's family stood in front of them, laughing in the snow. Eva scowled at her parents and younger siblings.

"That's not funny"

"No, it's hilarious" Astrum squealed as she got up from the ground, where she'd just made a snow angel.

"Or not" Eva growled as she bent down to clump snow into a sphere. Then something hit her bottom and she heard her brother laughing wildly behind her.

"Ha, serves you right for ducking"

She looked around to see that the snowball she had ducked for had indeed hit him directly in the face; he had water dripping past his cheeks and snow caught in eyelashes and hair, his face was red raw from where the coldness had hit him.

Eva glared at her brother before running off to the rest of her family.

Ten minutes later they were sorted into teams of three;

Eva, Quinton, and Hermione

Hyperion, Astrum, and Draco

But Astrum was completely rubbish at snowball fights so it was technically just Hyperion and Draco, Astrum just cheered them on from where she was attempting to make a snowman by herself.

After half an hour of non-stop snowballs flying left, right, and centre. The Malfoy's stopped throwing and went over to help their youngest member with her snowman. Unfortunately she hadn't gotten very far.

"I want to make his body" Astrum squealed, Hermione looked doubtful.

"Perhaps you can make the head with daddy, and the rest of us can make the body" her youngest daughter looked upset so she added "And then you can give him his nose, hat, gloves, and eyes"

Astrum's face lit up and she grabbed Draco's hand, dragging him away so they could start on the snowman head.

Once they were finished, Draco lifted Astrum up (the snowman was very tall since Hyperion had gotten a little carried away) and she put the carrot nose in. The snowman was very handsome.

"What shall we call him?"

"ASTRUM"

Eva's giggled at her hyperactive younger sister "That's your name silly"

"But it's a cool name"

"It's a girl's name and this is a snow man darling" Draco cooed, throwing Astrum over his shoulder so that she squealed in delight.

"What about Chris?" Hermione suggested

"BORING" Astrum moaned making her mother scowl at her.

"What about Alan?" Eva pondered but Astrum looked at her in glee.

"Yeah Alan, that's so cool!"

Hermione looked at her daughter in appreciation "Okay then, Alan it is"

"YAY" Astrum shrieked, fidgeting around in Draco's arms. He put her down and she ran off towards the direction of the house.

"I think she wants her presents" Quinn said

"She's not the only one" Hyperion said, running after his three year old sister. Hermione and Draco chuckled as Quinn followed after. They wrapped their arms around each other and walked cosily back to the house. Eva smiled at Alan the Snowman before walking back to the house.

One hour, and lots of present opening, later; Eva was sat at the breakfast table having a scrumptious meal of smoked salmon and scrambled egg, followed by pancakes with fresh fruit and chocolate; her parents had been nice enough to even let her have a glass of Bucks Fizz as her mother's family had a tradition of drinking it on Christmas morning every year.

"Can Norbert have some Orange Juice mummy?" Astrum asked as she sat her new toy on the seat beside her. She had received a Dragon cuddly toy in her stocking and Hermione had immediately proposed that she call it Norbert, Eva's had no idea why?

"Of course petal, would you like some more as well?" Hermione asked, pulling out an old bottle of Astrum's. She pretended to put some juice in there before handing it over to Astrum, the little girl not realising there was nothing in it as she fed it to her dragon.

Eva was just getting ready when the doorbell rang, stating that the Malfoy's guests were here.

"Blaise, Pansy, Merry Christmas" Eva heard her mother say as she ran down the stairs, the minute she reached the bottom, a pair of arms threw themselves around her. 

"Merry Christmas Eva" a voice squealed and Eva laughed as she pulled away to see her best friend Aleasha beaming at her.

"Merry Christmas to you to, get anything exciting this year?"

"My parents got me the nicest dress ever" she gestured at a beautiful blue number she was sporting and Eva nodded in agreement.

"That really is beautiful"

"Apparently my mum picked it out, but I think yours did" she whispered so that her parents couldn't hear and Eva chuckled before dragging her best friend into the living room. She started telling Aleasha all about the Reunion.

"...and then I heard a scream, well everyone did, and I got really worried because it sounded so much like mum. I went to see if everything was alright and saw dad literally fly up the stairs, two at a time"

Aleasha's mouth was hanging open as her friend continued to speak.

"There was a really big bang, as if someone had been thrown on the floor, and then my dad started yelling, really loudly. Quinn was scared to death and was crouched in a corner whilst Lily and I soothed her. I went back into the main room to see dad helping mum back downstairs, whispering things in her ear whilst she just shook; and I heard Harry bellowing at his friend about how he had ashamed the Weasley name"

Aleasha was silent once Eva had finished her story.

"What happened?" she asked and Eva knew she meant between her mother and James' uncle.

"Mum went upstairs to the loo and James' uncle, Ron I think he was called, went after her. When she came out he tried to tell her all this stuff but she denied it and then he kissed her"

Aleasha let out a gasp before letting her friend continue.

"Mum screamed which made dad run, he shot a spell at Ron and then Harry came and sorted it out. We went home when mum and dad came back downstairs because mum was really shaken up"

Eva watched in surprise as her chatty friend seemed to be completely speechless. They were pulled out of their distraction by the doorbell ringing again. Aleasha jumped up in happiness.

"That'll be nonna" she squeaked before rushing out of the room "Oops, sorry Aunt Hermione" she said as she bumped into her godmother.

"That's quite alright Aleasha" Hermione chuckled as the girl ran off, she then entered the room to see her oldest child looking at her feet guiltily. 

"You heard me tell her all that didn't you?" Eva mumbled and Hermione shrugged before nodding slightly.

"Yes, but I don't mind at all. Aleasha is your best friend and even though she is a chatterbox and a gossip queen, just like her mother, she will keep this secret safe because you told her and you are her best friend"

"But I still feel bad; I didn't ask you if I could tell her"

"Honey, I don't mind, I would probably get a little mad if you told the whole of Hogwarts but it won't make me think any less of you. You're my daughter and I love you, no matter what you do"

Eva looked up at her smiling mother and couldn't help but grin herself.

"I love you too mum, to the moon and back"

Hermione hugged her daughter before pulling away and standing up, she held out her hand for Eva to take.

"Come on, your grandma is here with your three Auntie's"

Christmas dinner at the Malfoy's was always a very busy event. Some people might say that the Weasley household was the busiest on Christmas day but if they were, the Malfoy's would be right up there in second place.

And three quarters of them weren't even real family.

After the war had finished, the Ministry had rounded up all the Death Eaters involved. Only two Death Eaters were not thrown in Azkaban; Draco Malfoy, and his mother Narcissa.

Draco was pardoned due to telling the Wizengamot the whereabouts of various Death Eaters, including his own father. His mother was pardoned because of her saving of Harry Potter's life when Voldemort had attempted to murder him in the forbidden forest.

The other Death Eater's were thrown into the wizarding prison which was where they belonged. Draco was extremely happy that his father was locked up, however his mother was not.

Slowly over the years, Lucius Malfoy went mad during his time in Azkaban and Narcissa Malfoy was given the choice of his death. Knowing that he wasn't alive in his mind anymore she accepted the offer and he was killed the day after. Due to heartbreak and the loss of contact with her only son, Narcissa Malfoy committed suicide to join her husband. Narcissa's closest friend, Carmen Zabini, felt sorry for Draco and immediately took both him and Hermione under her wing. She became his second mother.

So that brings us all the way back to now, surrounding the Malfoy's dining table at the minute were about four different families that treated each other as if they were related by blood.

Draco Malfoy was currently having a heated discussion with his son, his best friend Blaise, and another fellow Slytherin Theodore Nott; about this season's Quidditch scores so far. Hermione was talking to Pansy about her pregnancy whilst Pansy moaned about her ribs breaking because her baby had a hard kick. Eva, Aleasha, Verity, and Edward were deep in conversation with Verity and Edward's older sister Ana who had just started her first job in Romania, training dragons.

Theodore's wife Isabella was talking to Blaise's half sister's Adriana, Elenora, and Bianca; whilst their mother Carmen praised Astrum and Quinn on their beautiful dresses.

The minute food was served and crackers were pulled, the room went deadly silent apart from the occasional scraping of cutlery on plate. When everyone had had their full, Draco went about setting rooms for everyone since the entire group were staying at Malfoy Manor for New Year's. The Potter's would also be joining them for the New Year's party them were throwing on December 31st. Draco had decided it would be better to put as many people on one floor as possible so that's what he was doing, he also thought it would be nicer to put people in rooms together, to make it more fun.

"Adriana, Elenora, and Bianca; you'll be in the room next to Eva's. Eva, you'll be sharing with Aleasha, Verity, and Anastasia" the four girls squealed in delight at the thought of sharing a room together.

"Edward, you'll be sharing with Hyperion" the two boys high fived, Draco continued "Theo and Isabella, you'll be in the room on the right to mine and Hermione's; Blaise and Pansy, you'll be on the left. Carmen, you'll be in Narcissa's old room, and Astrum and Quinn will have their normal rooms, any questions?"

The families shook their heads before heading off to dump their belongings in their rooms.
