Draco's POV

"Draco," Kam tried to get my attention, "who the fuck is Lila?"

She kept tugging on my arm, but I didn't want to take my eyes of the sight that was in front of me. My current wife, who was pregnant with my unborn child, was here at the battle. She did not belong here. I was promised that she would stay out of the way and safe, which I assumed included being back at Malfoy Manor. How was I supposed to tell my soulmate's best friend any of that?

"Lila is..." I trailed off as Voldemort started to speak. 

"Welcome all. The battle rages on at the castle. So, while we wait for Harry Potter's surrender, we shall bring up the ceremony," he sneered his ugly mouth. "My three lovely ladies that are pregnant with my future, please come forward." 

"What the fuck does he mean by his future?" Kam asked. 

My fist clinched. "Those three are pregnant with future death eaters." 

The Dark Lord looked around as Lila, Diana, and Millicent stepped forward. I took in a deep breath. I was sensing that my child's life was in danger, but why would he kill the future of the group? 

"Millicent is pregnant?! Who is the father? It's not Blaise, is it?" Kam shrieked as she looked over at me. "Are you okay? You're more pale than usual." 

"No, I'm not okay." 

How was I supposed to be okay with my little family within His grasp? 

"Is Draco in attendance or is he still fighting with the others?" he shrugged. "Too bad he's not here for this. Mitch and Micah, I hope you're watching closely." 

"Why would you need to be here for this unless..." Kam trailed off. "Unless...Draco...is Lila your wife? We heard that you all were forced to marry, but...were you forced to have a child as well?" 

I slowly looked over at her. "If I had any other choice, I would not be married right now. I would not be watching as He is about to harm the family he forced me to create." 

"I'm so sorry, Draco," tears pricked her eyes. "I didn't think you would've needed to go to these lengths in order to stay alive...you and Blaise..." 

"Blaise is not about to have a child," I said quickly. "He forced Pansy to get rid of it." 

"He...Blaise...what?" she said in a tiny voice. 

I closed my eyes. I really should not have said that, especially at a time like this. I thought in the moment that it would comfort her, but I did not need to continue after letting her know that he wasn't going to have a child. 

"Look, Kam-" 

I was cut off by Voldemort yet again. 

"Ladies, my future that you have created for me is about to serve it's purpose today. The ceremony was not due to happen yet, seeing as you are only a couple months along each, but I can no longer wait now that we are here, and the battle appears to be getting much worse," he paused and stepped forward. "The three new lives that reside in each of your bodies, are going to be used to help my body become younger and stronger. The one that Wormtail created me sometime ago is starting to deteriorate, and the new life force from each child will last much longer than the magic that has been placed upon me." 

"You-" Lila started to speak up, but He just cut her off again. 

"Engorgio Perfectum!" he said as he pointed at Lila's abdomen. 

I stood up as I saw his wand movement. As soon as he and performed the spell, Lila's stomach began to swell and round, as if she was full term. How was there a spell for this? Lila had fell to her knees, and Mitch ran to her side. He put his arm around her as she screamed out in pain. It broke my heart that she was going through this. I just hoped that He was not going to cause her to go into labor out in the woods. 

He made to complete the spell on Millicent as well, but Micah had jumped in front of her. I shook my head. He was being a complete idiot, standing up to The Dark Lord like that. I started to walk over, but Kam stopped me. 

"I know what is happening is upsetting you. I could only imagine what you are going through right now, but you need to stay here. You going over there will not only cause you to loose your life, but many others as well," she stood in front of me, all five foot of her. "Stay, Draco." 

"That's my child," I said as tears swelled in my eyes. "My child is about to be here, and He is going to take him away from me. He's going to kill him." 

"Draco-" 

"Give me the other wand," He said to someone who handed him a different wand and took his from him. "I will kill you with my new wand, Micah Xanders." 

I watched as Voldemort raised this wand up and incited the killing curse. However, there was no shot of green light like everyone had expected. He tried again. There was something wrong, and it was only angering Him. Snape then appeared from the edge of the clearing and approached The Dark Lord. 

"I have a problem, Severus," said Voldemort softly. 

"My Lord?" said Snape.

Voldemort raised the wand and inspected it.  

"Whydoesn't it work for me, Severus?" 

I was glad that something hadn't gone to plan for him. He had already out Lila in pain and was about to kill one of my best friends. I was hoping that Snape could stall him longer so I could think of a plan how to save my friends. 

"My--my lord?" said Snape blankly. "I do not understand.You--you have performed extraordinary magic with thatwand."

 "No," said Voldemort. "I have performed my usualmagic. I am extraordinary, but this wand...no. It has notrevealed the wonders it has promised. I feel no differencebetween this wand and the oneI procured from Ollivander all those years ago."

Lila was standing again, but tears were streaming down her face. I just kept thinking about my unborn child. Was he okay? He had grown so fast. I should've known that he would lie about what his intentions were with the children; why he wanted them so fast. He's lied about so many things; had people lie about so many things. He lied about Courtney's death. I then felt guilty because all my thoughts had been about Lila and not Courtney. Lila was right in front of me though, and I was not about to let him take someone else from me. 

 "No difference," said Voldemort again.

Snape did not speak. Harry could not see his face. He wonderedwhether Snape sensed danger, was trying to find the right wordsto reassure his master.Voldemort started to move around the girls and over to Snape.

"I have thought long and hard, Severus...do you know why I havecalled you back from battle?" 

And for a moment I saw that Snape had stopped looking at his Lord. His eyes were fixedupon the coiling snake in its enchanted cage. 

"No, my Lord, but I beg you will let me return. Let me findPotter." 

"You sound like Lucius. Neither of you understandsPotter as I do. He does not need finding. Potter will come tome. I knew his weakness you see, his one great flaw. He will hate watching the others struck down around him, knowingthat it is for him that it happens. He will want to stop it at anycost. He will come." 

"But my Lord, he might be killedaccidentally by someone other than yourself--"

"My instructions to the Death Eaters have been perfectlyclear. Capture Potter. Kill his friends--the more, the better--but do not kill him. But it is of you that I wished to speak, Severus, not HarryPotter. You have been very valuable to me. Very valuable."

 "My Lord knows I seek only to serve him. But--let me goand find the boy, my Lord. Let me bring him to you. I know Ican--"

 "I have told you, no!" said Voldemort. "Myconcern at the moment, Severus, is what will happen when Ifinally meet the boy! Will I be able to kill him if I cannot kill this impudent insect." 

He gestured towards Micah, who rolled his eyes and turned around to hug his wife.

"My Lord, there can be no question,surely--?"

"--but there is a question, Severus. There is."Voldemort halted. "Why did both the wands I have used fail whendirected at HarryPotter?" 

"I--I cannot answer that, my Lord." 

"Can't you?"

"My wand of yew did everything of which I asked it, Severus,except to kill Harry Potter. Twice it failed. Ollivander told meunder torture of the twin cores, told me to take another'swand. I did so, but Lucius's wand shattered upon meetingPotter's." 

"I--I have no explanation, my Lord." 

I tried to think of a plan to save Lila, but nothing was coming to mind. How could I plan anything when I was worried about my unborn child, Snape, and Courtney. I felt useless. How could anyone depend on me in this type of situation?

"I sought a third wand, Severus. The Elder Wand, theWand of Destiny, the Deathstick. I took it from its previousmaster. I took it from the gave of Albus Dumbledore." 

And now Snape looked at Voldemort, and Snape's face was likea death mask. It was marble white and so still that when hespoke. I had heard about the Elder Wand though, and how it drove people mad with power. This was something that anyone would want in the hands of Voldemort.

"My Lord--let me go to the boy--" 

"All this long night when I am on the brink of victory, I havesat here," said Voldemort, his voice barely louder than awhisper, "wondering, wondering, why the Elder Wandrefuses to be what it ought to be, refuses to perform aslegend says it must perform for its rightful owner...and Ithink I have the answer." 

Snape did not speak.

"Perhaps you already know it? You are a clever man, after all,Severus. You have been a good and faithful servant, and I regretwhat must happen." 

"My Lord--" 

"The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly, Severus, because Iam not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizardwho killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. Whileyou live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot truly be mine." 

This could not mean what I thought it meant. I could not sit there and watch Him kill the only man who cared for me; the only father I knew. I felt Kam's fingers wrap around my wrist, holding me back. 

"Draco, you cannot-" 

"Shut the fuck up!" I screamed at her with tears streaming down my face. "I cannot sit here and let people die. I can't just--" I stopped talking and fell down to my knees, which caused Kam to pull me into her. "He's the only father I know." 

"I'm so sorry, Draco." 

My attentions shifted back to the scene before us. Kam continued to hold me. If she hadn't, there's no telling what would've became of me. 

"MyLord!" Snape protested, raising his wand. 

"It cannot be any other way," said Voldemort. "I must masterthe wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter atlast." 

And Voldemort swiped the air with the Elder Wand. I let out a sigh of relief. Had he had a change of heart? Was he not going to kill Snape after all? The snake's cage started rolling through the air. Of course. He was going to let Nagini do the dirty work for him. BeforeSnape could do anything more than yell, Nagini had encased him,head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue. She sunk her fangs deep into his throat and latched on, making sure her poision carried through him. 

"Snape," I weakly called out. 

"I regret it," said Voldemort coldly. 

He turned away; there was no sadness in him, no remorse. 

"It is time for us to leave this place. I am more powerful with this wand," he turned and smiled at the girls. "The ceremony can wait, but just so you three can be healed before I need to take them. They will be stronger if they are left in the womb longer," he raised his wand and flicked it. 

Millicent and Diana's stomachs grew to full size as well. Millicent collapsed into Micah's arms. Mitch rushed over to Diana and helped her slowly onto her knees. The Dark Lord then pointed his wand at thestarry cage holding the snake, which drifted upward, off Snape, who fell sideways onto the floor, blood gushing fromthe wounds in his neck. He then turned so he was facing Micah, who had turned back to face him as well. He was still sheltering Millicent from him. He raised the Elder Wand, and with a eager flick and a bright green light, Micah was dead. Millicent caught his body as both Mitch and myself cried out.

Voldemort swept from the area without a backward glance, and the great serpent floatedafter him in its huge protective sphere. Everyone except the girls and Mitch followed Voldemort. I let go of Kam and rushed from our spot, breaking our location spell. 

"Draco," Lila shook her head. "He wants to kill our baby." 

I pulled her into a hug. "I won't let him. I'll find you a safe place." 

I then let her go and walked over to Snape, kneeling down. He took my hand in his and smiled up at me. Someone else had knelt down on the other side of him. I looked up to see Harry. A terrible noise escaped from Snape's throat. 

"Take it...take it," he said, looking over at Harry and then up at Hermione. 

He was not only bleeding, but silvery liquid had started leaking from his eyes, nose, and mouth. Harry looked back at Hermione, who had pulled a vial from her bag. Harry put the vial up to his eyes and filled the small vial. 

"Draco," Snape said. "I love you, my boy. You are, in every sense of the word, my son. I wish that I could've saved you from this life sooner than this." 

I shook my head. "You've done more than enough. You've taken care of me all of my life, and I might not have shown you gratitude before, but I am now. I love you, father." 

He smiled and then looked over at Harry, "Look at me," he croaked before the light left his eyes. 

A/N: 

Hello! I know it's been a while, but I have created a schedule that I am going to try and stick to. I hope that this chapter was worth the wait! Also, does anyone know anyone that is good at making photoshopped covers? I would like one for the spin off story of this one. I have tried to use photoshop, but I have failed every time. The last three covers were made by fans after I held a contest, so I've never really had to ask. My fans were willing to help me out. I love you all for that! This time, I'm just looking for someone to make it. Perhaps someone has a banner shop or something of the like? If a fan just wants to make me one, message me for details and a special prize!
