Rabastan scrunched up his nose. "Interfering Mudblood," he muttered.

"Rabastan Lestrange, how dare you talk about my sister like that," Petunia admonished.

He flinched. "Petunia—"

"No," she interrupted, "I know how you were raised, what you were made to believe, but when you chose to be with me, you turned your back on those teachings. I'm a Muggle, or have you forgotten that very important fact?"

"Of course I haven't, but what right does your sister have to stick her nose where it doesn't belong? She has nothing to do with our relationship."

"She's sticking her nose in it because she's my sister, and she's worried I'm going to get hurt. Not many in your world believe you actually turned your back on those Eater people."

Rabastan did his best to not laugh. "Love, they're called Death Eaters."

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. They don't believe you're not dark. They think you're just playing with me, trying to get close to my sister and her connection to that Headmaster guy."

Rabastan frowned. "Do you believe that?"

Petunia stared at her feet. "When you first told me how you felt, I thought you were lying. And it had nothing to do with your family or what you believed about blood. It was because next to Lily, no one ever saw me, and you were looking at me and only me. I thought it was too good to be true."

Rabastan took her hand. "Petunia, I never thought anyone would be able to change my mind about blood. I never thought I'd meet anyone that was more important to me than my only living family. But you are. I know our relationship is unconventional, and it's dangerous. If Rodolphus discovers you and makes the connection that you're the reason I turned my back on him, you won't be safe until he's dead or in Azkaban. And maybe your sister is right. It will be my fault that you get hurt, but I know I'll do whatever I can to protect you, even if I have to die to do it."

Petunia pressed a kiss to his lips. "You're not dying anytime soon. You won't leave me." She took his hand and pressed it against her stomach. "And you won't leave our child. We need you."

Rabastan's eyes went wide. "You're...?"

Petunia nodded.

He wrapped her in a hug and lightly squeezed her. "I'm going to be a dad," he muttered awestruck. "I'm going to be a dad." And he was even more resolved that Rodolphus would never discover Petunia, even if they had to spend the rest of their lives in hiding.
