Chapter One
“I don’t understand why you are here Annie.” Narcissa said stiffly.
“Neither do I. Our house was burned, I lost everything. I was at St. Mungos’ for Teddy’s check up. I came home to find the house burning and Harry down. He woke up and made a portkey. I didn’t expect it to take us to Malfoy Manor.”
“What was the last thing he said Mrs. Tonks?” Draco asked quietly.
“Portus and grab that. I need to examine him. I’m a healer but I can’t treat Harry and take care of Teddy.”
“Is that Harry’s godson?” Draco asked.
Andromeda nodded, “And your second cousin.”
“Then on my honour as a Malfoy, I shall permit no harm to come to you. We owe Harry a debt, several debts actually. I will have rooms readied in the nursery wing. That way you can keep an eye on both. Stria?”
“Yes Master Draco?”
“Have rooms readied for our guests. Bring me a bottle and a baby bath. I think he needs to be changed.”
“How do you know about babies?”
Draco winced, “I was raped and I have a child. I hope the father is dead because I don’t want them to know about my son. Kingsley found out about my pregnancy and got me to tell him the truth using veritaserum. He chose to release us without trial and we’ve been here ever since. I think he released mother because he hoped she would take care of me.”
Andromeda watched as he undressed Teddy and washed the soot away before drying him off and redressing him. “I don’t know why Harry choose this place as a sanctuary but perhaps, this is what we all need.” She turned to examine Harry, it was far more serious than she expected. “Those bastards! If only Severus was still alive! I really could use him…”
“Uncle Sev but he.”
“Draco, be quiet.”
Andromeda ignored them and did her best to try to combat the curses cast on The Boy Who Lived.
“Where is Potter?”
Andromeda spun, wand out at the unfamiliar sounding voice that sounded strangled.
Standing there and leaning heavily on a cane was Severus Snape, his throat was hideously scarred but he was alive.
“I don’t have time to hear how you survived. Harry’s been receiving Death Threats. I told him to go to the Ministry but he laughed them off. Now our house is burned out and he’s dying.”
Severus conjured a chair and sat beside her, “The nerve-burning curse? That’s easy.” He muttered something. “That’s done.” He cast a few more spells. “Lung paralysing curse?” He cast something else. Before addressing Draco’s mother, “Narcissa go to my lab and fetch me the large round black potion vial. The great thing about being a Death Eater is that I learned a lot of curses, I spent a lot of time creating counter curses and potions to treat them.”
Draco watched as his Aunt Andromeda and godfather treated Harry Potter who lay there so still.
The moment he finished dressing and changing his cousin, an elf walked in with his son.
“Master Scorpius be hungry.”
“Thank you Dippy.” Draco set Teddy in his son’s bassinet and accepted his son. He blushed taking a seat where he was out of sight as he opened his shirt and winched slightly as Scorpius began to feed voraciously. While he couldn’t produce as much milk naturally as a female, he did enjoy the closeness that feeding Scorpius gave him. He looked at his son and let out a sigh of relief. Scorpius still looked like him…he had his blonde hair and his eyes were still starting to go grey so perhaps they would be almost silver in the right light. He bent to kiss his son, “I love you…”
He wanted to hate his uncle but he couldn’t hate his son…
Draco knew he was gay but he hadn’t wanted to be raped…
His father had signed a betrothal contract with Pansy’s father but Kingsley had used his power as Minister for Magic and voided it. Saying that he’d suffered enough…
He owed the man so much, Kingsley could have easily imprisoned him and taken his son. But he hadn’t…
His mother returned with the requested potion.
Severus snatched it and poured it into Harry’s mouth.
It took less than four minutes for the sound of Harry’s breathing to fill the room.
Andromeda glanced at him, “Do I want to know how you created that potion?”
“House elves and test animals, I did do one human test on myself one summer.” Severus rasped. “I think he’s out of the danger. I’ll floo Kingsley.”
“He knows you’re alive?”
Severus shrugged, “He found out when Draco went into labour and came over immediately. I’ve been here at the Manor; he had heard the truth from Harry so he decided to let it go. If word got out I was alive, people would be raising hell about me being Kissed for allowing abuse to happen to the students and using the Killing Curse on Albus. It’s best that I be left in peace. He has contacted me on some occasions as an outside resource. He’ll want to know about the attack on Potter.” He painfully rose and limped to the door, “I’ll firecall him. Put Potter to bed and keep an eye on him. Call me if he needs anything more.”
“Don’t strain yourself Uncle Severus.” Draco called out.
“I owed him life debts too. His father saved my life and I had not the time to repaid it before Potter senior’s death. The life debt passes to Harry. I am also at fault for the Dark Lord learning of the Prophecy that resulted in the deaths of his parents. I want to live quietly but also making reparations for my misdeeds.”
“There goes the most guilt ridden man I ever knew.” Andromeda said softly before conjuring a stretcher and levitating Harry onto it.
Draco knew she was right but said nothing…
Draco settled both babies down.
Teddy was older having been about a month old at the time of the battle while he had been five months pregnant. He had Scorpius at eight months, which made his son three months old.
He loved his son and Teddy was such a loveable baby it was hard not to love him. To have parents and to be suddenly an orphan made him wonder how that affected Harry.
While he and his father had been at odds, Draco was sure his father cared about him though he didn’t often show it.
Draco looked down at Scorpius, “I wish I could give you two parents, its what you deserve…but you have me and that’s what matters.”
He’d always craved a relationship with someone who could be his equal. He didn’t wish to be submissive or dominant over anyone. Who would want to bond to a former Death Eater and raise their illegitimate child?
With their reputation in shreds they only saw Kingsley who mostly came to see how he was adjusting and to discuss a case with Uncle Severus.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
