I was reading the paper at breakfast with my morning cup of coffee how very bland but it was my complete norm as I watched my pride and joy sitting next to me eating his pancakes I have no idea why he likes those damn things but his mother loved them and he would always ask for them at least once a week and all day on my wife Farrah's birthday

I sighed at it all this was becoming so mundane and so repetitive that I was completely bored with my life if only I wasn't forced into the marriage yes we were best friends growing up and everything and then out of the blue our father's did a damn marriage contract and even though I am a Veela.... I'm a bloody well creature and he knowns that but still did it anyway

Father knew it wouldn't go well that my magic would lash out and would eventually kill my precious pearl, my Farrah and sadly it did only three years after the birth of our only son... my sole heir Lucius... oh how I miss her and her quiet singing she always did as she went about her day

The strange way she would know that I had had a bad day at the Ministry and that I needed some Scotch and some quiet, she wasn't any type of creature like the Malfoy family was and that was ok with me I married my best friend but still I was missing something and the mark in the crease of my elbow said two names, well one name more than the other as growing up I knew that there were two names but one was always blurry and I couldn't make out what it said and I kept the other hidden

Father would be displeased to know that his heir was gay of all things to him it wasn't pure but how do I tell my best friend that he's my mate when he's married to that awful woman and that they have two children- two wonderful boys but they would soon turn on both of their parents if that vile bitch has anything to do with it all

I could see if coming it would either be Orion snapping at her and leaving but because she's of the branch family she would lose her footing and become a disgrace to the whole 28 Scared Families and knowing that cow she wouldn't want to do that

I sigh making my pride and joy look up his chin dripped syrup as he smiled at me

"Father are you ok?" said Lucius to me and I smiled

"I'm ok son just thinking that's all" I smiled at him

"How about me and you spend some time together as I haven't been around much due to work I can tell everyone I'm busy and cancel my meetings how about that?" I asked hoping he would say yes to me

"Really Father we can spend time together, can we go to the park or or spend time with mummy in the portrait hall?"

"How about my little spark we go and see mummy and then have a picnic in the garden's just me and you?"

"Yes Father lets go" he got up and ran off his shoulder length hair I noticed needed a cut soon but I was afraid to cut it due to it reminding me of Farrah way to much

We finished our breakfast and headed to the portrait hall and I can already hear Lucius talking away a mile a minute to his mothers picture about his new friends Galen and Kamari I think their names were, well Lord Peverell chose the perfect names for them Galen- calm and peaceful or Healer in Greek and Kamari- moon or moonlight in Sanskrit it was very fitting with his jet black hair and eyes that sparkled

"Oh my handsome colt is here, hi baby" said Farrah from the portrait of herself how I missed her

"My pearl how are you on this fine morning?"

"I am and always be perfect even if I'm a portrait which I would of liked if I was older but it never happened and I'm frozen in time but it's been so long since I saw you both" she smiled at us

"Mother, Father and me are going to have a picnic today! do you want come with us?"

"Oh my little spark I can't mum is in the portrait and can't come out remember" said my darling wife which made me sigh over it all I wish I could hold her once again, I thin remembered the old portable portrait that she could move into

"My darling pearl what about that spare little one we have on hand then you can join us?"

"Oh very well for my two boys lets go then" she moved into that one and soon we were in our picnic spot happy as Lucius was off playing it was then the conversation changed from the light banter to something serious

"Abraxas have you ever thought about your marks? the ones you keep hidden from your father before he died the ones you showed me?"

"Farrah what about it Orion has his life a wife and sons I can't take him away from that can I? those boys are all he has as he doesn't even love that bitch he was forced to marry to keep it in the family, stupid if you ask me their motto Toujours Pur- Always Pure my damn arse they aren't if marrying your own cousin is" I shake my head

"Darling he needs you more than ever to help him understand that the marriage he's in will turn those boys against the family and we don't want that do we they are only now 6 and soon will be 5 if I remember correctly from what you have told me as well as Lucius now... speak to him Abraxas save him"

"Love I don't want to break up a family that's all, I just can't losing you broke my heart I can't do that to a family"

"You would be saving them and I think the Black's will understand having Orion and Wulberga marry was a mistake and I think fixing it would help them plus have you ever looked at the mark since I died?"

"Are you sure they would? accept the break of a marriage contract? sadly I haven't looked at my mark I couldn't not after I lost you I thought that it was the best thing I could do was forget about it all" I looked down at the blanket I was sitting on I could hear Lucius playing I knew a House Elf would be watching him

"Colt please look you might just understand that you aren't so alone as you think you are my love" said Farrah to me and I sighed and with a very slow moment I rolled up my right sleeve and there stood Orion's full name Orion Lycoris Black and under it which surprised me more than anything was that I could finally see the name that was always blurred out.....

Errikos Ignotus Peverell

"What?!" I practically screamed standing up knocking over the food in the basket and our drinks, thank god for magic I was able to clean everything up

Farrah just laughed at me which I glared back at her which just made her laugh harder

"Ok tell me what I've missed?" I sigh

"My dear I'm a Seer I knew this young man would come and help you my love, you three are meant to be together you are in magical terms, Light Dark and Grey all three together is what is needed"

"And you didn't think to tell me?"

"You never asked me until now, how do you think I knew what you wanted after being at the Ministry day in day out and that you were feeling guilty about not spending time with us and lastly my dear that you have been punishing yourself since I died I knew what was going to happen ok don't worry I know you will love me but you were never in love with me and I know those two as well as their son's will bring the light back into your life like I did all those years ago

Abraxas my love never fear they will brighten your world and expand it more than just the Manor and the Ministry ok my love don't worry you will have the family you have always wanted your bond will grow you are a close friend to Orion and Harry... you will grow your bond..."

"Harry?" I asked making her smile

"Errikos the English of it is Harry" she smiled to me as if knowing more but she won't tell me

Abraxas Castel Malfoy

Farrah Rose Buckwish
