"Cissy, don't worry, everyone knows Malfoy heirs are born in June. Nobody will link our baby to that prophecy..."

Lucius whispered soothingly as he kissed Narcissa gently on the forehead.

I noticed then that Narcissa’s hair was the same pale shade of blonde as Lucius's.

Their eye color was remarkably similar too.

In the West, natural blondes are quite rare.

Yet, there’s a significant allure attached to blond hair and blue eyes, making hair bleaching a common practice.

How do you spot a natural blonde?

Usually, you look at the roots. If they are darker, it's likely dyed.

But Narcissa's hair, from the roots to the ends, matched Lucius's perfectly.

Their facial features were strikingly similar too.

This realization seemed to kill the mood.

Lucius cast a Patronus to send a message to Abraxas.

In the original books, apart from Severus Snape, other Death Eaters could not produce a Patronus.

J.K. Rowling believed that the Death Eaters lacked the firm resolve and love necessary to conjure one.

But it appears she underestimated Lucius's resolve to protect his family.

The phrase "all for the family" wasn't just lip service.

Lucius’s Patronus was a fox with nine tails!

Soon, a House-elf announced that Abraxas—Lucius's father—had arrived.

"Dad!"

Narcissa attempted to rise to greet him but Lucius stopped her.

"Take it easy, you’re still recovering..."

Abraxas looked remarkably young, almost like a brother next to Lucius.

He exchanged a knowing glance with Lucius and gently took me from him, his expression softening.

The Malfoy family had always had sons, never a daughter.

Abraxas once said I was a gift from Merlin to the Malfoys.

"Lucius, come with me to the study."

Clearly, the men of the Malfoy family preferred to shield the women from worries.

They went to great lengths to create an ideal world, willing to sacrifice anything for their family's happiness.

From a distance, Draco’s crying was audible. Lucius added, "Father... Draco cries a lot when he can't see Aurora..."

"When you were little, you were just the same... couldn’t bear to be away from Cissy..."

A playful smile flickered across Abraxas’s face, cunning like a fox.

Just like the Malfoys.

"Father..."

Lucius paused, taken aback by his father’s words, then showed a resigned smile.

Thinking of something, he chuckled.

"Aurora really does look a lot like Cissy did at her age..."

He reached out and gently tapped my forehead.

"I wonder if this generation of Malfoys will sort it out themselves..."

Abraxas's voice trailed off.

It turns out, the Malfoy couple had been together since they were about our age...

I was uncovering a lot of the Malfoy family secrets!

I leaned in, eager to continue eavesdropping on their conversation, but they quickly moved on to more serious matters.

"Did you call me back because there's something unusual about Aurora?"

"She's unusually quiet for a baby..."
