July 18, 2000 - 5:26 PM

“Draco Malfoy, we’re going to be late!” Waverly yelled at her husband from the main floor of their Manor. She checked the old grandfather clock that read, 5:26 PM. She hated the clock but she couldn’t get rid of it because her mother-in-law, Narcissa Malfoy, gave it to them as a gift.

“There! God, I wasn’t even that long.” He chuckled, rolling his eyes at his wife. He grabbed his coat from the coat hanger by the door and checked himself out in the mirror. Cocky Draco Malfoy.

“Not even that long?” She exclaimed in disbelief. “You took 2 bloody hours!” She yelled at him. “It doesn’t matter now. Hurry, we’re already running late. We were supposed to be there 10 minutes ago.” She finished, taking her coat and opening the door, as Draco followed behind her.

They both apparated and started making their way to the front door of The Nott Residence.

“Take my hand,” Draco told her, and she did just that. Waverly didn’t like it, but she had to if they were going to act like the “perfect” couple in front of family and friends. Hannah answered the door, Theo’s Wife. She was wearing a red skin-tight dress that hugged her body perfectly, with subtle gold jewelry. When she had opened the door the bright lights from the front of the house blinded her for a second, but it had gone away after a couple of blinks. The scent of mixed perfumes and food hit her nose, and it was not a good smell.

“I’m so glad you guys made it!” She hugged her redheaded friend. Hannah was definitely a little tipsy, and the smell that came from her definitely hinted at it. “Pansy is already here, she’s by the family room. She’s wearing a purple dress.” She told her, letting go of their hug, and backing away so she could pass by.

“Hello, Abbott.” Draco greeted her, offering her his hand.

“Hello, Malfoy.” She shook it. “Theo is in his study.” She told him, standing aside so he could enter the house. It was no secret Theo and Hannah didn’t like each other, especially because of her relationship with Harry Potter and his friends.

“Yes, very well. Thank you.” He said awkwardly, stepping past her. He made his way for the study, while his wife made her way towards the guest.

“Waverly?” A deep voice came from behind her.

“Harry? Oh, my merlin...Hello!” She hugged him. He was much taller than last she’d seen him. “I haven’t seen you since we were 18, wow!” She pulled away, as did he.

“Yeah, you look great by the way. Still going by King?” He asked.

“Hahaha,” She laughed awkwardly. “Yes I am, I kept my surname.” She knew he knew about Draco and her. After all, it was all over the Daily Prophets on the day of the Wedding.

DECEMBER 12, 1998:

THE MALFOYS AND KINGS HAVE A NEW BRANCH ON THEIR FAMILY TREES AS WAVERLY BLYTHE KING AND DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY HAVE JUST MARRIED THIS COLD AFTERNOON.

She thought of the horrendous article that bug wrote about her and her husband. “Anyway, how about you? A spouse? Children?” She asked. She did admit to herself she was being nosy but she hadn’t seen her old friends in a while.

“No, Ginny and I have been dating though.” He blushed.

“Oh, that’s wonderful!” She smiled “What about everyone else?”

“Well Hermione and Ron are still off and on, Fred and Angelina are together again, as are Lee and George but other than that it’s pretty much the same.” He smiled, he finally was able to be happy.

“Oh well, that is just wonderful Harry. Please let them know I say hi. I have to say Happy Birthday to Theo.” She smiled up at him.

“Of course, yeah. Um, I’m going to go find Angel. It was lovely seeing you, Waverly.” He smiled and walked off.

Waverly made her way to the study, greeting more and more people as she walked by them. She knocked at the Study, “Come in,” She heard a voice from inside.

She opened the door, “Happy Birthday, Theo.” She walked inside, closing the door behind her.

As she walked closer to the desk he smiled at her, “Thank you. Please, sit.” He offered her a chair across from him.

“So, how are things with you and Hannah going? Better?” She sat.

“When does it ever get better, Waverly? I just want this stupid thing to be over with.” He took a swig of his drink.

“Just give her time, it was heartbreaking for her to lose something she was so attached to.” She tried to comfort him.

“Yes I know, but she doesn’t even pay attention to me, Waverly. I just want to go and tell her everything is fine, but she’ll block me out. We can’t go near each other or we’ll start screaming. I’m also pretty sure she is seeing Angel again.” He took another drink.

“What do you mean she is seeing Angel again?” She furrowed her eyebrows. Angel was a Slytherin from their year at Hogwarts. They had made friends with him, but he was distant most of the time.

“Pansy didn’t tell you? Well, just to let you know you’re dearest friend was having an affair.” He took yet another drink. “I’m not even mad she had the affair, I’m mad because she didn’t tell me. Obviously, I knew things with Hannah weren’t going to be perfect the whole marriage was rushed, but the point is I was starting to fall for Hannah and turns out she was having sex with another man while she was at ‘work’ and coming home to have more sex with me.” He chugged the rest of his drink.

“That doesn’t sound like Hannah at all, Theo.” She furrowed her eyebrows more and stood up out of the dark green velvet chair. She was shocked he was saying such things.

“Well, it is. Go ahead, ask her. I’ll be here waiting till this drink goes down.” He looked at her. Right then and there she grabbed her coat, put it on, and left to find Hannah and Pansy. Surely enough she found them taking multiple shots with a glass of wine as a chaser.

“Come with me,” She said, taking the girls by their arms and shoving them into another study. “Have you really been cheating on Theo? How long have you been cheating on Theo? Why didn’t any of you-” She smacked the strawberry out of Pansy’s hand, “Why didn’t any of you tell me you were cheating on Theo?”

“He told you?” Hannah made an annoyed face. “I swear to go-”

“You don’t get to be mad, Hannah. Pansy, is it true?” Pansy shyly looked away and went to sit on one of the chairs. “How long were you cheating on him for?”

“She’s been seeing Angel since they got married-” Pansy blurted out.

“Thanks, Pansy.” She rolled her eyes, “Listen, I love Theo, but not the way I love Angel. I stopped seeing Angel after I found out I was pregnant, but you know. Anyway, if you could see anyone other than Draco you would too.” She crossed her arms, looking at her friend with an unreadable expression.

“Yeah, except for I wouldn’t! You guys were having sex-”

“Wait... Hold on. You and Draco haven’t?” Waverly had a warning expression on her face, almost trying to give Hannah a signal to shut up. “Like ever? Not even trying for children? That’s risky don’t you think?” Hannah spoke, pouring herself a glass of the whiskey from the study. Both girls were drunk and stank of alcohol. It was like Waverly was back in the sixth year all over again.

“You’re telling me you haven’t had sex since the seventh year?!” Pansy said loudly, “How have you made it this far?” She giggled.

“Fingers and toys.” Waverly was almost shocked about how bold she was with her response. “Now, I’m taking Theo home with Draco and I. Pansy will stay here with you to make sure your ‘special’ friend doesn’t come over. Some time apart will do you a lot of good.” Waverly finished, leaving the Study. “I will be calling.” She glared at the girls as she exited the study.

“She’s right, you know?” Pansy turned to Hannah.

“Shut Up.”

“Hello Darling,” She heard Draco. “Everyone this is my beautiful wife Waverly, Waverly this is Mr. Acker and his family. His wife Matilda, and his two children Avery and Sheila.” He gestured towards the family of four.

“Pleasure to meet you Mr. Acker, you and your family.” She smiled at them and shook the older man's hand.

“Speaking of family, when do you plan on having one? Because you two would make beautiful children.” He asked, taking a sip from his champagne.

“We are still waiting a couple of years, we’re both so young. Actually, if you don’t mind I do need to borrow Mr. Malfoy for a second.” She told them.

“Of course, he’s all yours.” The family moved on.

“What was that about?” He asked Waverly.

“We’re taking Theo home with us.” She said with a stern face.

“What? Why?” He asked, with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Because he’s is your best friend and Hannah and he could use some time apart.”

“That doesn’t answer my question.” He told her.

“Well, it should.” She left.

The rest of the evening went smoothly as she hugged, and danced Draco. She met up with old friends and talked to people from the ministry. The party ended at about 10 and that’s when Waverly and Draco went to collect their VERY drunk friend.

“Theo, what the fuck? I thought you said ONE more drink?” Waverly took the glass of whisky from his hand. They found him in the kitchen telling the house-elf about his problems.

“Must you always be so controlling, Waverly?” Theo hiccupped.

“Alright, let’s not make this a shit show. Let’s go home.” Draco took Theo on his shoulder. They made it out of the Manor, Waverly making sure to tell the house elves to wake Hannah and Pansy. They apparated in front of the Manor, a small package sitting at the front door.

“Go take him to the guest room, get the elves to get him fresh clothes,” Waverly told Draco. She picked up the package and read on the small note, “It was good eyeing you, love” She had a feeling she knew who it was from. She went inside, closing the door behind her. Making her way to somewhere private.

Entering the study on the main floor, she walked to the desk and sat the box down on it. She grabbed the pocket knife and made a slit going down the middle. As she opened the box her assumptions were confirmed. Inside the box was a set of lingerie. But it wasn’t a new set of it, it was an old one.

Waverly lost her virginity at a rather young age. She got all ready and dolled up for the boy just for her to be completely humiliated. He had hung up the set of lingerie in the staircase that connected both the Ravenclaw and Slytherin Common Room with the label, “Property of Waverly Winona King.”

It was the most embarrassing day of her life. She remembers she had run and hid for a solid week before she had to deal with the embarrassment.

“What is it?” She heard Draco’s voice behind her.

“Nothing, just some cosmetics Luna sent me from her trip.” She lied.

“Okay then, he’s gotten changed and he’s asleep.” He told his wife.

“Thank you.” She told him

“Well it was more the house-elves, but yeah.” He stuck his hands in his pockets.

“Do you actually think we’d ever come to have children?” Waverly said a little drunk from the three glasses of champagne she had.

Draco stared at her, “Waverly, you’re drunk.” He brushed her off.

“But if I weren’t?” She turned around facing the bookshelf.

“Perhaps, if that’s what you want we could try for children.” He looked at her with a blank expression, turning around and leaving. They wouldn’t admit it to each other but they smiled, Waverly in the study and Draco outside the door.

OKAY, it did take me about idk? Three months to finish this chapter? I KNOW OKAY. But I’m ready now, get ready people 😏
