*BOOM* X100.
Soon, gun salutes resounded across the United Kingdom as a board was placed at the gates of Buckingham Palace announcing the arrival of a baby girl to King Magnus. The girl's name was Athena and the mother and daughter were safe.
The country went into a frenzy as this made it clear that the next heir will most likely be Athena, a woman. People were dying to see the royal princess but they would have to wait. Magnus was not going to take her out of Camelot anytime soon though.
...
USSR,
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev had taken power as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union with secret hands making sure it happens. Magnus selected this man just for one of his values, he was a dumbass.
As expected, Gorbachev initially adhered to Marxism–Leninism, although he had moved towards social democracy. This just meant that he went from being dumb to dumber.
He was unable to handle the pressure that came his way from all states within the Union. Each wanted something and were threatening to hold their own elections if nothing was done.
USSR was on the brink of bankruptcy, how could he fulfil the demands, hence he allowed elections with a multi-party system and created a presidency for the Soviet Union. It was a slow process of democratisation and the fool didn't even know it was happening.
Magnus sent his people to all member states to stir unrest in the political spheres and nudge Moscow into letting them gain autonomy. But each time they were threatened by military actions. However, it sure was taking away much-needed sleep from Gorbachev.
All Magnus was waiting for the next was an opportunity, one when the iron is hot and the most vulnerable. The sickle and hammer will come down sooner rather than later and will be replaced with the wheels of capitalism with a pinch of socialist welfare schemes as the nation's poor were too poor.
...
Athena was born on November 29th of 1984, the same date Thanksgiving was celebrated in the US. But the festival was not that big of a deal in the UK and Magnus didn't like that. So, he changed it by calling people to celebrate it like their cousins across the pond, after all, the day boosts the economy. After all, Thanksgiving acts as a nice mood starter for the coming Christmas.
He was in Camelot with his dear family. All plans were cancelled, all meetings that needed to be done were to happen at Buckingham Palace. He was going to spend as much time as possible with his wife and daughter.
Adam and Grace too were in pure bliss to become grandparents. Heck, Magnus even permanently moved Grace's parents from their home, they were too old and would soon pass away, it was better if they could spend time with their grandkids and great-granddaughter.
"Meow?" Chad was interested in this new little potato that appeared out of nowhere. But he was not allowed to get too close to her.
"Chad, this is Athena, your new friend, okay?" Magnus picked Chad and made him see her face.
Chad nodded his fat head, "Mwa,"
"Yes, she's beautiful. But she's too small to play, so wait a year, okay?" He advised the good boy. Summer got the same lecture too. Duck was smart enough to not fool around, but he was very happy to get a sister now.
"Don't worry, dad. You got me, I will protect my little sister at all costs." Duck proclaimed.
Magnus patted Duck's nose, "Of course, you will, I already know that. Now go to sleep, tomorrow you are going to help granny Martha pluck berries."
"Ooh, I love berries, good night," Duck cutely rolled his tail around himself and went to sleep. He seemed like a mountain, a cute and kind mountain.
*Yawn* Emma yawned, "Let's go to sleep as well." He advised and helped the two reach the room.
He put Athena in the cradle just beside his side of the bed. He wanted to allow Emma to have a good sleep to recover. He didn't have to sleep every day anyway so he could afford all the crying.
At night, she did cry a lot. This is what babies do, Grace had taught him and he had first-hand experienced it with his siblings, there were three of them after all, and only two parents. Hence, Magnus and Ragnar had to work hard too.
But Magnus felt no frustration or irritation in taking care of her. Often, he would simply start talking to her about his problems, his dreams and what he needed to do. She also liked seeing him speak, it seemed.
...
A few days went by, Ragnar brought a small vial full of red potion, "Give this to her, I have created this concoction for her immune system. This is basically the vaccine version but for wizards, after all, remember, wizarding diseases can be much deadlier than muggle ones."
Magnus obliged and fed it to her. It was most likely sweetened, which is why Athena didn't cry when she licked it. "Haha, take it all, my girl. This will help you get stronger. Oh, by the way, Rag, I need you to go and meet Bobby and Dad together, they want to commission you and Sev for a lot of lucky potions."
Ragnar's eyes flash in greed, he was no less of a dragon than Magnus, "Is that so? Nice, I have already automated the plant. But where the heck is Severus? Shouldn't he be here to see his best friend's daughter?"
"Oh, you don't know? I think something is going on between him and Narcissa, although I don't think they have proposed to each other I can see they like each other. Severus feels ashamed to tell her as he thinks that Narcissa would see him as a guy taking advantage of a helpless woman, while Narcissa feels he would feel she's a gold digger. So they are stuck," Magnus revealed to him.
Ragnar licked his lips, "Is that so? Then I guess I will go and give them a good push. When I send them to meet you, make sure you make a house-elf call them Mr and Mrs Prince just to urge their inner feelings out. Okay, I am out,"
...
Ragnar arrived at Prince Manor to meet Severus. However, even after tearing apart his throat by shouting Severus' name, nobody came out. All except one little 4-year-old blonde boy that was too shy to stand face to face.
"What are yo... oh, you are that little gremlin, Ditto, right?" Ragnar recalled.
"Draco, I am Draco Prince, my lady, who might you be?"
Ragnar's brows rose up and he looked behind himself. There was nobody except him. ~I-Is he... brain-damaged?~ "Boy, I am a man, why do you call me a lady? Don't you see this long and thick beard on my face? I am a mighty Oroborus,"
"What is Oroborus?" Draco asked.
Ragnar puffed his chest out, "Huh, it's my house name, based on the symbol of infinity, a snake that eats his own tail."
Draco remained silent for a while thinking of something, then he blurted, "You eat your own butt?"
(•ˋ _ ˊ•)
"COME HERE YOU LITTLE! WHERE IS YOUR MUM? Did she teach you no manners?" Ragnar chased after him to tickle the hell out.
Draco just giggled and ran around happily. But the real question was, where were Severus and Narcissa, and the bigger question was why the boy had Prince as the surname?
...
Outside the Crabbe Family House.
"Are you ready to do this?" Severus asked Narcissa, his wand out, a stoic expression plastered on his face.
Beside him stood Narcissa in her beautiful dark blue robes, her blonde hair neatly tied in a bun, but her face had a look of tiredness, "I have to do this. Thanks for coming with me, Severus."
"Draco needs a mother, I can't let you die just like that," Severus replied without much thinking.
"That does not make me less grateful. Okay, who should go in first? It seems they are held up in there." She asked him as he was clearly the expert.
Severus took out a badge from his pocket. It had the logo of a dragon that resembled Duck in his roaring form. It was the seal of House Pendragon. "I will move in first as I have the authority, you stay behind me. Remember, shoot to kill. They were given an ultimatum by the Ministry and we have the permission of Lord Regulus Black."
She nodded and stuck behind him, being careful of the surroundings. Severus moved closer to the main gate and blasted it open. He flashed the badge in his hand for all to see from their house, "I am Severus Prince, the enforcer of his royal majesty, wizard king, Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon. Come out and surrender, you have illegally kept the money inherited by Narcissa Black from her parents."
"GO AWAY, boot licker of that mudblood king. We got the money legally from the line of succession from Gringotts." a voice came from inside the house.
Severus sighed, "Understand this, Gringotts has revoked your right since not only is Black Family having a new Lord but Narcissa is also alive. You have no authority, you disobey now, you get a bounty on your heads." He gestured Narcissa behind him to take her position.
Severus repeated his warning, "Don't make me do it, your family only has 3 people left, one is an unmarried teen. So, it's your choice, I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold."

Severus blasted through the door with a few confringo spells. He sensed someone and voiced, "Left"
Narcissa immediately shot a charm to her left, hitting one man. Severus focused on his right on the other two wizards. Crabbe family had relations with Voldemort and a few of them were Death Eaters. Hence, now most of the family was dead, except the three as they were too far in the bloodline to be considered real Crabbe. But, they didn't want to live, it seemed, and they were already on the watchlist anyway.
*Woosh*
Trails of shining bright lights touched two bodies and soon groans of pain resounded inside the large mansion. "Put down your wands, you don't have to die," Severus ordered.
"We won't let you take the money, we will die without it." They cried.
"I will kill you if you keep it. And get a job if you want to live, there is no free money." Severus, instead of waiting, started sending curses to knock them out.
"Let's go and get the money." He proceeded into the basement of the mansion.
The Crabbe family had already emptied the vault in Gringotts in fear that the bank may decide something else later. This was why they came here, otherwise, the bank could have just issued them another key. The bank itself was under Magnus' command now, and it was much bigger and richer because it follows Magnus' economic and investment advice.
Reaching the vault, they found stacks of gold galleons neatly placed there. Severus handed her expansion pouches and started shoving the money in them. Once done, they prepared to leave.
"So, what will you do with this money now?" He asked her.
"I have not thought much about it. Maybe keep it in the bank and find a house. I've imposed on you and Miss Prince for so long now," she apologetically replied.
Severus silently stared at her face as she was busy, "You can stay if you want, mother likes playing with Draco and teaching him. I did give him my family's surname to not make things worse for him."
"I am extremely grateful for that. Draco having the Prince as the last name is better than Black or Malfoy. But... I feel guilty now... I can't keep myself there, people will talk, they will talk about you. It will seriously bring down your chances of finding a date and move in life, Severus." She replied.
Silence ensued. There were things in minds of both but they did not speak. They needed a push, and shockingly, Severus' phone rang at that moment. It was from Magnus. "Brother, come to my place quickly, I need to show you something cute. Bring Narcissa as well. Ragnar went to your home, don't worry, he will keep Draco entertained."
"Magnus has invited us two to his place," Severus spoke.
Narcissa was happy, "Really? Let's go then, I have not seen his daughter yet, can't wait to see how beautiful she is. Emma is after all the most beautiful girl I have ever met."
Nodding, they apparated from there and arrived inside Buckingham Palace. Magnus would never allow anyone other than his family and Round Table members to come to Camelot. It would put security at risk.
As soon as they entered the living room, they found Magnus sitting on the sofa. On his table was Chad and another thing.
"Oh, look, Athena, this is Severus and Narcissa, both of them are somewhat dense." Magnus turned his daughter on his lap. She was utterly cute and was wearing a panda dress. In her mouth was a honey pacifier. Her eyes sparkled as soon as she saw the two beings she had never seen before.
Narcissa rushed to see her, "Aww... she is so adorable. Athena? It's a beautiful name. Severus, come here, look."
Magnus allowed them to hold her. As if trained beforehand, Athena hugged Narcissa's chest first, turned her head towards Severus and extended her cute little hand.
Severus instinctively gave her his hand. She held his finger and started nibbling on it as all babies do. This made both of them come close to each other and standstill.
*KECHAK*
Magnus clicked a photo, "This photo looks so cute, I will send you a copy later. Oh, you must be hungry, BOOPY! Come here,"
The House Elf in a nice butler suit and a nice oiled moustached appeared, he bowed first, "What would you like to have, your majesty,"
"Orange juice, and ask these two too," he ordered.
Boopy turned to face the guests, "Mr and Mrs Prince, what would you like to have?"
This made their faces go red in an instant. Magnus scolded Booby falsely, "No, Boopy, they are not dating... yet. Go and bring them orange juice too."
It all went as per the plan. Narcissa and Severus took seats. Athena kept nibbling on Severus' hand so Narcissa had to sit close too. They indeed looked like a couple.
Soon enough, Emma joined and they talked about normal things. Magnus didn't push things too much, they had probably gotten the idea by now. Magnus just made sure to make them realise that the people around them already saw them as couples. They already had enough sexual tension going on between them.
...
Later that night, Narcissa and Severus returned home. Draco was already asleep as Severus' mother was there. Ragnar had tired the boy by running behind him.
In the cold weather, they stood in front of the fireplace in the living room. "Good night. If you need any help packing then tell me,"
Narcissa nodded, "I will. Thank you for everything, Severus. If you ever need help, just tell me. Even If I can't do much I will do everything possible."
Severus took a long breath and blurted his response, "Then I want you to stay here, let Draco play around, let my mother be happy. I want you to continue to help in my experiments. You are an amazingly smart woman, so..."
"But if you feel restricted being here then you should go." He added.
Narcissa stepped closer to him, "You have been so kind to me. Don't you feel I am taking advantage of you?"
"I don't see myself handing out money to you. You never asked for it either, you work and get paid a normal salary. You living in this house is as good for me as for you. So no, I don't feel that way." Severus answered.
"What if I want to stay here forever?" She asked, now basically standing so close that there was just an inch separating them. She had to look up at his face.
Severus looked into her blue eyes, "Great, then we can grow old together,"
However, just as he said that he realised his words could mean so many things. Fearing, he tried to add more, "I meant that I..."
But all of a sudden Narcissa got on her toes and kissed his lips. Severus held her waist and pulled her closer, "Are you sure?"
She nodded her head, "I've been contemplating for a long time, I thought you didn't like me that way,"
"I thought you'd take it wrong if I tried to get closer this way," he said.
Both of them sighed, they had been fools. Narcissa kissed his lips again, "Will your mother be okay with this? I am someone with a son already,"
"She's already lost all hope I'd marry and find someone, and she likes you a lot. I think she will jump in happiness," he replied.
She kissed him again and asked, "I already have a son, won't you feel strange about that? That he's not your blood and... what happens when the family grows bigger?"
To this, Severus lifted her in the air by the waist and kissed her lips, "Did I not give him my last name? Having fought blood supremacists all my life, blood is the last thing I believe in, Narcissa. All that matters to me is if you are okay with having me. I am a boring man, you know."
"No, you are a caring, thoughtful, strong and intelligent man. I do not understand how and why you never had another girl in your life, but I feel lucky to get to know you. Thank you for everything and... feeling this way about me, Severus." She hugged his chest tightly.
She could feel his heart beating very fast, the same was her situation. She was so scared about confronting this feeling about him, scared that even this friendship will be lost. But she took a leap of faith after hearing him.
The two stayed silent, in each other's embrace. The day was cold but not anymore, as the warmth of each other was more than enough.
They silently promised to themselves.
~You don't ever have to worry about anything, Narcissa, I will be here for you.~
~I will never let you feel alone ever, Severus. I will always stand by you, forever~
The feelings that had been held locked for more than a year were now out and ready to bloom, washing away both Narcissa and Severus' life's gloom. Now, among them, only one certain guy was left with no partner, but finding a partner was something he didn't even bother to do.
...
Camelot,
"AAAA... Chad, I told you so many times not to sit on my face when I sleep. I dreamt of a fat woman sitting on my face and choking me... MERLIN'S TITS! GO AWAY!" Ragnar was, as always, messed up in the head.
