The Unexpected

Soft Spot

Magnolia groaned as Harry pushed her on the trolley. Magnolia made eye contact with Draco. "Everyone's so skinny and I'm a fucking whale." Magnolia stated. Ron nodded. "A glowing whale." Magnolia snorted as Hermione hit him with a newspaper. "Looks like there's a new story out, Mags." Magnolia sighed and held her hand out for it. Hermione handed it to her and Magnolia opened the paper. She scanned her eyes over it. 

"Huh, look at that, I'm having twins to two different dads!" Magnolia gasped. She looked up at Ron. "Congrats you are the father." Ron bowed. "I'm honored." Hermione giggled. "Who's the other one, Mags." Magnolia looked down at the paper and her face fell. "Draco..." She whispered. Harry stopped pushing the trolley. "What? How?" 

Magnolia paid more attention to the article and shook her head. "There's no back up or anything. It just says something about an anonymous source." Harry thought for a minute. "We could come out and say something." Magnolia chewed her lip. "I don't know. Maybe I should talk to him first." Hermione nodded. "That's a good idea." 

They walked over to the train and Magnolia turned to Hermione. She handed her the paper. "Give this to Draco and tell him that he may not want to be seen helping me." Hermione nodded. She waited until Draco's parents had left before walking over to him. 

Draco looked confused as Hermione approached him but his face fell when he was handed the paper. Magnolia's shoulders drooped. She hoped this wouldn't change his mind. Remus stepped in front of her, breaking her out of thoughts. Magnolia looked up at him. 

"Remember you have someone help you take your things to you room and help you unload them, especially the baby stuff have Harry and Ron or Dr-""Okay, dad. I know." Remus sighed. "We just don't want you to get hurt, again." Magnolia sighed. "That wasn't my fault." Ron shrugged. "They told you to go back inside." Magnolia glared at Ron. 

"In a minute you're about to be a dead Weasel." Ron threw his hands up. "Sorry, sorry." Ron dropped his hands and turned to Harry. "See you on the train, mate." Harry nodded. "See you." Ron climbed on the train. 

Draco walked by them and gave Magnolia a small glance before stepping onto the train. That's how last year had gone. Draco had climbed onto the train right in front of Magnolia, without saying a word, then Magnolia would climb on and go sit with her brother for twenty minutes before heading to her and Draco's compartment for the rest of the train ride. 

"Be careful you two. Especially you, Harry. It's getting towards the end of the year and that's when you tend to get into trouble so please, don't drag your sister into it if you do." Remus lectured. Harry nodded. "Will do." Remus looked down at Magnolia. "And you, owl us as soon as there's any word of the baby coming. We'd like to be there." Magnolia nodded. "You got it, boss." Remus nodded. "Alright, go on," He told Magnolia. "Harry, help me with the trunks." 

Magnolia stood up and waddled onto the train, this time going straight for her and Draco's compartment. Magnolia looked both ways before sliding the door open. She froze when she saw Blaise sitting across from Draco. Magnolia crossed her arms over her chest. "What's he doing here?" 

Blaise beamed up at Magnolia, flashing perfect teeth. "Nice to see you too, Mags." Magnolia's gave him a fake smile before pulling the door shut. Magnolia sighed and sat down. "Draco, Harry things we should make a statement or something about the baby but I wanted to talk to you about it first." Draco was chewing on his thumbnail. "Um, we?" He asked. Magnolia sighed. "Me and Harry. You don't have to say anything unless, you come out saying you're not the father." 

Draco pulled his hand away. "I could but what would you say. I'm sure they'd expect you to say something about the true paternity." Magnolia shrugged. "I could say it's none of their god damn business and address the other rumors." Magnolia stated with a shrug. 

Blaise looked between the two. "You mean it's not twins with two different fathers?" Magnolia glared at him. "Shut it, Zabini. I don't even see why you're here." Blaise looked over at Draco. "Hmm, why am I here, Draco?" He said it with a smirk. Draco looked over at Magnolia. "Blaise, as stupid as it is, wants to be the Godfather." Magnolia slowly turned to Blaise, who had an innocent smile on his face. "You what?" She whispered. 

Blaise laughed. "Oh, Draco is my best friend." Magnolia nodded. "Yeah and you threatened to tell Theo about our relationship." Blaise ignored her. "And the father gets to pick the Godfather." Magnolia glared at him. "And you threatened to tell his parents about us!" Blaise shrugged. "Then again I guess you have some sort of say." Magnolia nails dug into her palms. "And you came to me telling me to break up with Draco for my own good." Blaise bit his lip. "I mean your only other choices are Harry, George, and Fred. See I think Fred's in love with you but you chose Draco so he'd never do it." 

Magnolia was getting irritated. "You took pictures of us together and we're going to show the school." Blaise chuckled. "And George is waaaaaaay too immature and he's very involved in the war so that leaves you with Harry." Magnolia clenched her teeth. "You tried getting Pansy and Draco together last year while we were together." Blaise turned to Magnolia. "And Harry," Blaise chuckled. "Harry is the most oblivious person on the planet along with the dumbest and he will get your child killed plus he's the chosen one and not to mention extremely dangerous." 

Magnolia's glared intensified as Draco nodded. "He's got a point, Mags." Blaise nodded. "I've on neither side of the way. I'm smart so the child won't die. I have younger cousins and I've had younger step siblings." Magnolia shook her had. "No, you haven't done one thing to benefit me. One nice thing!" 

Draco sighed. "He kept us a secret, that day you were sick and I couldn't get to you, he took care of you, he's gone to all of your quidditch matches right besides me, and I could continue." Blaise nodded in agreement as he turned to Magnolia. "And let's not forget what I did at the start of the year." Magnolia shrunk down as Draco leaned forward. "What did you do?" 

Blaise turned to Magnolia. "I went to her and told her I'd support her if the baby was yours but no matter what I said she denied it. Do you remember that, Mags?" Magnolia crossed her arms over her chest. "You've done more bad things than good." 

Draco sighed. "Told her what you told me." Blaise groaned. "Do I have to?" He whined. Draco chuckled. "Do you want to be the Godfather or not?" Blaise sighed. He turned back to Magnolia. "I, hate to admit it, have a soft spot for you." Magnolia crossed her arms over her chest. "Continue." Blaise groaned. "Draco's like my brother and...you make him happy. I only threatened you because I was worried you'd hurt him but I have a soft spot for you." Magnolia grinned. She nodded. "Yes." She whispered. 

Blaise smiled and leaned forward. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." Magnolia shot him a warning glance. "Make me say it again and I'll say no." Blaise nodded. "Got it, Boss." 

Authors note 

So there's going to be more Blaise in this story because I love him and he's definitely under appreciated in this book and I've had enough of that. Also I picture Blaise and Draco to be like a version of James and Sirius....just a more Slytherin gothic version because Draco needs someone other than Mags.
