Capítulo 6: Chapter 04
It was a full moon and Teddy was crying.
Her baby hadn't inherited any of Remus's lycanthropy, but on nights of full moons, he seemed to be in a lot of pain.
The wizard who treated him before she locked herself away at Grimmauld Place had said he would be sensitive to the moon and might develop a dark core, along with an appetite for raw meat.
Lycoris didn't care about any of this, she would take care of Teddy, no matter what.
Dressed in her nightgown and over Fred's oversized Weasley Jersey, she rocked Teddy through the halls of Driftmark, the heavy burden of the Black's protections irritating him even more.
Teddy was crying and Lycoris wanted to cry too.
- "Is the boy all right?" - Asked a sympathetic voice behind her back, Lycoris turned to see Princess Rhaenys, her hair braided and in a nightgown like her, though she wore a light coat.
- "Yes, he's just having a bad night," - Lycoris said, wiping away her tears as best she could. Teddy was still crying loudly.
She held her baby's cheek as she pressed his little head against her cheek.
- "Can I hold him?" - Rhaenys asked.
Lycoris crept into the princess's mind, seeing that she posed no danger, she passed Teddy.
Rhaenys bounced him a couple of times on her hip and Teddy stopped crying, just letting out little puffs of sobs.
- "How did you do it?" - Lycoris asked.
- "Well, I've been a mother of two," - She explained as she stroked Teddy's hair. - "Babies are sensitive to people, Teddy noticed that his mom was stressed."
- "I'm sorry," - Lycoris wiped away tears, - "It's just so complicated."
- "Motherhood is."
- "I thought when I adopted Teddy that I would have help" - Lycoris placed her hand on her bulging belly - "I thought I would have Molly, my mother-in-law, to help. I admire her a lot, she raised six wonderful wizards and a brave witch."
- "You are not alone" - Princess Rhaenys took her hand and rubbed her fingers gently. - "In these three weeks I can finally understand my dragon a little thanks to your help. Corlys and I will help you with Teddy and the baby on the way." - Princess Rhaenys touched her belly tenderly. - "Have you thought of a name?"
- "My husband was a twin" - Lycoris answered, placing her hand on Rhaenys' - "They always joked that they would name their first children after each other. If it's a girl, her name will be Georgiana Lilium, my brother-in-law's name is George."
- "And if it's a boy, it will be George?"
- "If it's a boy, it will be James Sirius" - Smiled Lycoris when she felt a slight movement in her belly - "Fred and George looked up to my father and Sirius. Innocently, they followed their exploits at Hogwarts."
"They will carry the Potter surname" She remembered Fred saying, they were both lying in the garden of the Burrow, and next to them was an enchanted radio broadcasting Love of Life. "You are Lady Potter, your surname will prevail. Besides, there are already plenty of Weasleys in the world."
- "He fell asleep" - Said Rhaenys, Teddy was letting out little grunts in his sleep. Carefully, Lycoris took him in her arms.
- "See you tomorrow for Dragon speech lessons" - Lycoris bowed to the princess and went to sleep.

Dragon blood coursed through Rhaenys' veins, as the daughter of Prince Aemon, as the queen who was denied the crown.
- "Alyssa," - Meleys said and let out more growls, - "Rhaenys."
They were the only two words she could hear Meleys say.
- "Little by little princess" - Said Lady Lycoris, wearing longer dresses that fitted under her breasts letting the fabric fall over her bulging belly, tied in cloth she carried her son on her back, who took the opportunity to nibble on the witch's thick black hair.
- "She just says my aunt's name and mine."
- "Well, according to Asmodeus" - She looked at the book in her hands - "It is more complicated to learn as an adult."
Rhaenys looked at her dragons that exhaled smoke.
- "I have written to the king about you," - Said Rhaenys, and the witch looked at her like a frightened deer.
- "To the king?" - She asked nervously.
- "Viserys wants you to present yourself to the Court" - Said Rhaenys - "Corlys and I will accompany you. You will be under the protection of House Velaryon." - Although Rhaenys did not like the idea of leaving Vaemond overseeing Driftmark.
Fujur, the Lycoris dragon, perched next to Meleys. The white dragon was almost half Vhagar, Rhaenys did not overlook the scars around her neck and four legs, another difference in her dragons having only two.
- "No chains," - Said Fujur - "No more chains."
- "You will go as a free dragon" - Lycoris said to her dragon.
Fujur exhaled smoke and went flying again.
Rhaenys looked at Lycoris' belly and made a calculation, it was close to the sixth moon. But it was not a womb of that time, either the baby would be too big or it was two hearts growing inside the witch.
- "When are we leaving?" - Lycoris asked, caressing her baby's hand - "I would like to prepare Winky and Kreacher, I must keep them in the trunk."
- "Tomorrow" - Said Rhaenys - "It will be a couple of days by boat."
- "Oh no, the sea" - She was annoyed - "So much movement and shaking. They'll make me a map. The sea has no regard for pregnant women"
Rhaenys laughed loudly.

Aemond stood at the foot of the throne. The news that in Driftmark there was a witch with a dragon and the ability to speak with them caught the King's attention.
- "Lady Lycoris Potter-Black, ward of House Velaryon!" - Helaena muttered something about a starry flower with a deadly green.
Aemond was shocked at the sight of the witch. She was very young, perhaps three years older than Aegon.
She had a brown complexion like that of a Dornian, but her eyes were stunning green. She wore a very dark blue dress with hanging sleeves, which revealed her bulging belly for a baby, her hair combed in a braided crown, and as two only jewelry a kind of black cloth necklace with a silver pendant with something engraved and two gold rings on the ring finger of her left hand, a thick gold band and a thinner one.
On her hip was a baby almost a year old, he had a white beanie and white clothes with gray. Behind her were two very striking creatures, shorter than mushroom, with big ears and bulging eyes.
At her sides were Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys.
- "Majesty" - The witch as best she could bow despite her inconvenient belly. Aemond was skeptical, she looked vulnerable for a dragon rider. - "Thank you so much for the welcome."
The two creatures accompanying her hid behind her, clinging to her skirts.
Aemond looked at his mother, who was staring at the witch and her bulging belly.
- "Blessed be your presence, Lady Potter-Black!" - Said Father, approaching Lord Corlys and Princess Rhaenys, - "Your arrival in Westeros is a real event."
- "Lady Lycoris has been teaching me a little Dragon speech," - Said Princess Rhaenys, taking the king's hand, - "She remembers Princess Alyssa with great affection."
The king smiled, Aemond looked at the creature with the bulging blue eyes, who was looking all over the place for something. The baby in the witch's arms began to tug at his beanie.
- "Oh Meleys," - Smiled the king, then looked down at the baby, - "Your son, Lady Potter-Black?"
- "Call me Potter or Lycoris, Your Majesty" - The witch asked and then smiled at her baby - "Yes, he is my son. His name is Edward Lupin."
The baby finished pulling on his cap, revealing his bright blue hair, and then looked at the witch and changed his hair to black.
Aemond blinked at the color change, the witch pulled a stick out of one of her sleeves and muttered "Accio beanie" and the beanie quickly bounced into her hand where the rings were.
- "It's wonderful to see magic in action," - Said the king in awe. - "And what else can you do besides talk to dragons?"
The witch smiled and passed the baby to the sour-faced creature.
- "Expecto Patronum!" - The witch conjured, a silvery-blue smoke came out of her wand, the silhouette of a large lioness came out of her wand, and the animal walked around the place.
Her mother drew Helaena and Aegon to her, while Rhaenyra drew her two eldest children to her in the same manner.
The lioness walked towards Aemond, the Targaryen prince looked at the silver-smoked creature, and she laid down on her back, showing her belly, like a huge cat.
- "She likes him very much," - The witch smiled at Aemond.
Aemond looked admiringly at the witch.
