Draco's POV:
                          
"Looks like we weren't the only ones who almost interrupted you two last night", Blaise joked when he saw the photo in the newspaper.
                          
"Shut the fuck up Blaise, now is not the time for jokes", I spat. 
                          
I looked around the Great Hall and saw that at least half of the students had today's edition of the Daily Prophet as well and I could see that they were whispering to their friends and sending looks our way. 
                          
I stared back at the picture in embarrassment, knowing that almost everyone in the school had seen it. It was a photo taken through our bedroom window of me laying on top of Lilah, kissing her very passionately. Thankfully the sheets were covering up are bodies, but you could still easily see that we weren't wearing any clothes at all. 
                          
"I'm gonna kill that bitch", I said, referring to Rita Skeeter who wrote the article. 
                          
I then made the mistake of deciding to read a bit of what she wrote. 

                          
The Malfoy Son and Davis Daughter's Scandalous Proposal
                          
     Last night on the eve of December 4th, Draco Malfoy, the son of Narcissa Black and Lucius Malfoy proposed to his girlfriend Delilah Davis, the granddaughter of one of the most infamous wizards of all time, at only the age of 18.
                          
     He proposed in the courtyard of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry after he sent her on a scavenger hunt around the school. A comment from an insider who saw the event unfold said "He placed candles along the floor, creating a small aisle, and there were fairy lights put up everywhere. The girl was wearing a tight blue dress and the boy was wearing his usual suit. From what I could see from where I was standing, the ring looked absolutely huge and, after he put the ring on, they shared an intimate kiss and seemed to get rather comfy and he ended up carrying her back to their room."
                          
     It has recently come to our knowledge that at only the age of 16 they welcomed their daughter into this world, Indigo Rose Davis. There have been many speculations as to why she didn't take the Malfoy name, most of them revolving around the Death Eater activities that he took place in as of last year. But, it look like soon she will also inherit the Malfoy surname when Delilah Davis and Draco Malfoy wed. 
                          
     It also seems as though we can expect another Malfoy heir soon anyway after their scandalous late night activities last night after their engagement, which we managed to snap of photo of (can be seen on the front page of this article). 
                          
     We have been able to find out that ever since Miss Davis fell pregnant, she has been occupying an apartment in the infirmary so that Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse at Hogwarts, can help her and her daughter whenever. And, as of this year, Mr Malfoy has joined her and it looks like they have been making the most of their privacy as a newly engaged couple. 
                          
     What do you think of their engagement? Do you think they will get through it and happily marry? Or do you think they will end up like Draco's parents, divorced and in Azkaban?
                          
     Rita Skeeter - The Daily Prophet

                          
"What the actual fuck!" I said after I'd finished reading it. I slammed the newspaper down on the table and stood up, making sure not to drop Indie. 
                          
"What do we do?" Lilah asked, panic and embarrassment written all over her face. 
                          
"Let's go give Indie to Madam Pomfrey and then we have to go and sort whatever this is out", I said as I started to walk out the hall, Indie firmly in my arms, and Lilah quickly following behind trying to keep up with my large strides.
