(NOT EDITED!)

After being sent off by the Malfoys, Fiona was standing in the middle of an unfamiliar manor. Still feeling dizzy because of the floo transport. Her body needed to get used to the bizarre way of transportation in this world.

Someone entered the hall Fiona was standing in, which turned out to be a very luxurious decorated living room.

While turning around, someone already embraced her in a very suffocating hug. She groaned playfully, already knowing who the person was.

"I can't breathe Zacheus!" Fiona tried to get out of the tight embrace but he wouldn't let her go.

"Oh come on, let your favorite brother shower you with some love!" as he sang out loudly in joy.

"You are my only bro-," she began to start but a baby cry made her stop her sentence. It sounded from a room nearby.

"Sounds like someone is impassioned to meet his sister!" Zacheus softly smiled at the curious girl in front of him. He dragged her behind him, to the source of the noises.

Fiona let curiosity get the better of her and finally looked in the room where a baby was lying in a crip.

The nursery was wholly painted in a baby-blue color and nicely decorated with toys. It was clear that this was the room of a baby.

Finally standing in front of the crip which stopped the crying and the newborn blinked with his puzzling honey brown eyes at her. Giving her an accusing stare.

"Aww, just look at the newest member of the Zabini family!"

She couldn't resist and carefully took the cutest peanut she ever saw in her life, out of the crip, supporting his little head with her arm while the other was carrying his tiny body. The little boy weighed nothing, like a feather he rested in her arm.

The baby griping at one of her fingers, not letting it go as she continued playing with him. Fiona couldn't help but beam. He was literally the cutest thing she ever saw.

In the meantime the Zabini heir was silently observing the heartwarming scene in front of him. Letting a grin appear.

In her head Fiona already made a promise to always protect the little being in her arm. Her heart beat fastened as she saw a little smile appear on the baby's face.

While softly squishing the cheeks of the baby boy, he responded with cooing sounds, feeling very content in her arms, she asked Zacheus.

"What's his name?" fascinating eyes never leaving the little being in her arms.

"Maximus Zabini, a strong name, destined for greatness." he whispered into the room. Observing the baby, full of tenderness in his eyes.

The peaceful moment was interrupted as an unfamiliar woman walked in. Her body was clothed in an elegant dress which screamed money and none of her hair was out of place, probably fixed with a charm.

She was so focused on the baby that she didn't really notice Fiona. The woman took Maximus, who delightly giggled, feeling that it was his mother, from the teenage girl's arms.

Aarany finally looked up, there was clearly surprise in her face. And something undefinable.

"Hello, darling how nice of you to visit us." The smile never reached her eyes while she tried to sound genius.

This must be the mother who neglected her own daughter, huh...

Fiona only stepped back and forced an insincere smile on her face, which she bet looked like a grimace.

Fake it till you make it, from here on..

"Mother dearest, how could I not attend!" putting on the sweetest tone she could muster. Her hand reached on to touch Maximus, lightly sweeping through his face.

"I have a new brother now, we must celebrate this matter! I mean you must be so proud!" the young female chimed merrily.

The mother flinched barely noticeable hearing the last sentence. Aarany's smile strained a little while pushing a strand of her hair back with those perfectly manicured fingers.

The whole time Fiona noticed that Aarany never really held eye contact with her. Inwardly dissatisfied to call the woman in front of her mother.

"Yes of course, there will be a feast, but first things first- your father wants to see you, preferably now!" making it clear to the female that the conversation was finished.

Zacheus sensing the tension in the room and trying to break the overbearing silence. Being bad at making excuses he yelled out.

"Fiona, didn't you want to see that thing in my room?"

She only looked confused at him. Not really knowing what he means.

He tried again, this time trying to tell it with his eyes. Urgently peering at the door, making signs of leaving.

Finally getting the message she quickly kissed the baby on the head and left with Zacheus. Without saying anything to her mother.

Aarany was already too focused on the little being in her arms, swaying back and forth, humming a calming lullaby. Not really minding the people leaving the nursery.
