I think I may change Cursed from a Draco Malfoy story to a Hermione Granger story, where Astrid and Hermione get together, and then Draco and Harry get together. (I'm a huge Drarry shipper) Thoughts? Also. I'm writing a Stranger Things fanfiction because I'm obsessed and I don't know if I should publish it or not. If I do, Mute may not be updated as much. Not that I update it regularly. Should I? Also also, There is some French in this chapter and, surprise surprise, I used Google translate. Don't be offended or anything if something is wrong because I don't know French.

Juliane was the first to jump up, a mixture of excitement and nerves causing her to rush into the hospital room. The sight she saw made Juliane tear up. Adria was sitting on the hospital bed, holding a little bundle in her arms. Charlie sat right next to her, staring down at the baby with a wide grin spread across his face. There was a new light in his eyes now that he had met his son. 

His son. That was the only thought that was going through Charlie's mind as he stared down at the sleeping bundle in his arms. 

"Oh, Charlie!" He heard Juliane cry. Charlie looked up with a grin. 

"Hey, guys. I want you to meet Asher. This is our son." He said. Small tears pricked the edges of his eyes. This was his son. This was the person that was going to be in his care for the rest of Charlie's life. 

"Well, this is new." The others turned to see a man standing in the doorway. He was wearing a healer's uniform and wore a confident smirk. 

"Hey, Ken." Adria yawned tiredly from her bed. Juliane rushed over to her, grabbing the girl into a hug. "Jules! I just went through labor!" Adria squeaked, though she hugged her friend back. Bill looked over at Ken and then saw the look Charlie was giving the man. It was a mix between a glare and a grimace. 

"Who are you?" Bill asked, gaining the attention of the women. Juliane had somehow gotten Asher, and she and Adria were cooing over the baby. 

"I'm Ken. A friend of Adria and Charlie. Still thinking about my offer Adria? Because it still stands." Ken grinned handsomely. Adria made a face of disgust. 

"You do realize that it was me that just gave birth... Right?" She asked with a small glare in her eyes. 

"I'm very aware." Charlie made some sort of growl sound before saying rather loudly in Juliane's opinion, 

"Alright. Time for you to go." But Ken didn't listen he just turned to Juliane with the same smirk on his face. 

"Hey." Was all he said. Juliane pretended not to hear him. Ken cleared his throat. "Hey." He said again. When Juliane did nothing, he walked forwards and tapped her on the shoulder. Juliane looked up feigning surprise. 

"Oui?" She said in French, blinking innocently. Bill hid a smile behind his hand. It was clear that this man wanted to date Juliane, but she was dating Bill and didn't want to go through the process of rejection. So, she put her French to use and pretended she didn't speak English. 

"Ah Bonjour." Ken smiled a charming smile that would make most women swoon, but had no effect on Juliane. 

"You speak ze, French?" Juliane put on a heavy French accent, hiding a smile of her own. 

"Oui." Ken answered. Adria looked like she wanted to say something, but refrained, wanting to see how it played out. 

"Comment Allez Vous?" Juliane asked in French. A brief look of confusion passed over the man's face before be responded. 

"Oui." Was all that Ken said, making it clear to Juliane that he didn't know French. 

"Tu réalises que j'ai un petit ami et même si je ne le faisais pas, je ne sortirais jamais Avec quelqu'un comme toi," Juliane said. Ken answered with nothing, looking around for help. Juliane could sense he wasn't getting the message, so she just got up, walked over to Bill, grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss. "Now do you zee vhy I said zos things?" Juliane still kept her heavy accent. Ken just sighed and placed a hand on his neck, before smirking in her direction. 

"I can get past the boyfriend thing. It's cool." He said, winking at her. Juliane glared harshly at the man before smirking herself. 

"Vell can you get past ze fact zat I have a child?" She asked. 

"Really? Well, I must be off then. My work here is done. And, if you and redhead over there ever break up, you know who to call." Ken winked one last time before walking out. Bill rolled his eyes and turned to Juliane. 

"I'm glad you didn't leave me for pretty boy over there." He smirked playfully. 

"Well, I have had my fair share with guys like Ken, and it's not even worth it." Juliane said with a huff, sitting back down in her chair and turning to Adria. "Were you friends with that dude?" She asked. Adria shook her head. 

"Do you remember when I first went to the dragon sanctuary and that Healer there asked me out and I said yes and then he turned out to be obsessed with me and so I broke it off and then he tried to kill Nikio so I got him fired?" Adria asked. Juliane's mouth fell open into a perfect 'O' as she realized who Adria was talking about. It was the only thing that was written in the letters exchanged between the two for a few weeks. 

"That's the guy?" Juliane asked in shock. Adria had conveniently left out his name, making Juliane guess who he was, and telling her what he looked like. Now, Juliane saw it. Blonde hair flopped to the side, and light blue eyes that were probably captivating for anyone else but Juliane. 

"That's the guy." Adria responded, looking down at Asher who was fast asleep in her arms. "Anyways. Where's the rest of the family?" 

"They should be here soon. And your parents are also on their way." As if Adria's parents had sensed Juliane was talking about them, the two came bursting through the door as well as Adria's grandfather. 

"Oh, my baby!" Her mother exclaimed, happy tears pouring out of her eyes as she saw the bundle in Adria's arms. "I'm so proud of you!" 

"Hi mum, dad, pops. Welcome to the party!" Adria exclaimed cheerfully, but anyone could see she was exhausted. 

"Oh darling, take a rest. We'll watch..." Adaline trailed off awkwardly, not knowing the baby's name. Adria let out a laugh. 

"Asher." She said looking down lovingly at her child. "Asher Gregory Smith-Weasley." 

"Well that's quite a mouthful." Adria looked down as her father joked, but he was quick to finish his sentence. "But an amazing one. We're so proud of you Didi. And naming your child after me?! That was too kind of you." The father smiled softly at his daughter, an overwhelming sense of pride welling up in his chest, and tears welling up in the corners of his crinckled eyes. 

"Pa, are you crying?" Adria asked with a laugh. 

"No!" Greg exclaimed, looking slightly taken aback. "I just got something in my-Oh who am I kidding. I'm just so happy!" He wailed, launching himself at Adria, who caught her father with a grin on her face. They were a happy family, together in the dark times of the war.
