11 YEARS LATER.
Lucius Malfoy was a broken shell of the man he once was, his body gaunt after his long stay in Azkaban, scarred from his time working for the Dark Lord. And now he actually needed that walking stick that he had always carried around for no reason before. But the worst change, to him at least was his son. He did not care how his looks, mind and body had suffered, he cared that he knew his son had survived but had no idea where he was. Draco hadn't been in contact since the divorce.
Once a week he visited his doctor and this week was no different. The door to the small Doctor surgery on Diagon Alley was a heavy one and it took him a few moments to open it fully. Once inside he signed in, went into his examination and was told the same things as usual. "Eat healthily, get daily exercise and don't drink in excess. Doing these may extend your life expectancy." A life expectancy which was only a couple of years at best now. That was something he hadn't told anyone thus far, during the final battle the Dark Lord had cursed him with a curse he had created himself and had no cure. After twelve years living on borrowed time he had only one thing left to wish for, his son by his side when he died. So he'd hired a detective.
He left the surgery with his head low and walked the short distance to the Detectives office, supporting himself on his cane heavily. Three years ago he'd hired Mr Green to find his son and grandson and every time he visited the Doctor he visited the detective as well. Neither of the men spoke, this was a usual routine for both of them. All that happened was Lucius handed over that months cheque, the Detective handed over a file containing anything new he'd found out that month. This time he was smiling slightly and Lucius frowned. He never read the files until he had walked all the way home and was back at the Manor sitting in his favourite chair. So, deciding to hell with more exercise and fresh air he used all his strength and apparated to his library, collapsing into his chair with the file on his lap. With a shaking hand he opened it and looked at what was within.
Photocopies. Four photocopies were the first things, photocopies of birth certificates. His grand-children's birth certificates.

Mr Malfoy, these are Muggle Birth Certificates which means that your son is definitely hiding in the muggle world. When transferred to wizarding certificates the facts may change however as you informed me that your son is a fertile male. It is there fore most likely he is the mother to these children.
Lucius couldn't stop his hands trembling as he looked the certificates over, noting vaguely that it was the same Doctor every time. He had been expecting to find one grandchild, not four. It made him sag in his seat with a smile on his face. Truthfully he had five grandchildren but Harry Potter hadn't let him see Jason since the divorce. But there was still more in the file so he placed the three sheets down on the small table beside him and looked at what was a left inside.
A sheet of a newspaper was the next thing, an article about a pre-schools bid for money to find a better place as their current location was practically condemned. And there, with only his youngest boy Kian was his son, standing with the other parents and children of the pre-school. This clue was good. Now it would only be so long before he could see his son again and ask for forgiveness, forgiveness for what he had been like under the Dark Lord's control, before he'd realised he was fighting for the wrong side. The very wrong side. Slowly Lucius pulled himself to his feet and pinned the new information up on the cork board already covered with the information that the detective had found.
"Nippy!" he called out for his house elf, the replacement he'd gotten after accidentally freeing Dobby. The house elf appeared with a pop.
"Yes Mr Malfoy sir?" he asked in his high squeaky voice.
"I'll take a cup of tea here with some biscuits," he told the house elf as he returned to his seat, "And bring me today's Prophet."
"Yes Mr Malfoy sir." The elf disappeared with another pop, leaving Lucius alone to his happy thoughts and his almost happy memories of his only child. Draco had been such a cute baby and toddler, quiet too. Not too fussy unless the little boy had been hungry or needed changing but then all children fussed about things like that. His cuteness had faded into handsome looks as he'd grown but thanks to the Dark Lords interference his quiet and happy nature changed to a self assured arrogant one as he was groomed for his role as a Death Eater.
But as the war went on both the Malfoy men began to understand what Harry potter was fighting for, fighting against. They saw The Dark Lord for the mad man he truly was but could do nothing to go against him for fear of their lives. When Harry succeeded in killing Voldemort the Malfoys were finally free and during the recovery and rehabilitation of everyone affected love had blossomed and grown. They'd been married, Ron Weasley was best man, Hermione Weasley matron of Honour. They'd had two glorious children. The world had seemed so perfect after so much darkness.
Then came the divorce, the sudden disappearance of his son and one of his grandsons, the ban from Harry on seeing his other grandson and then the last straw had been the discovery of his deadly 'illness'. The shiny perfectness was gone in an instant but now, so many years later a little glimmer of that light was coming back into his life.
