Chapter 20: Draco
There he was, sitting in a hospital room next to a child that he hardly knew. Draco let out a sigh and took the girl's small hand in his, his mind going over what Harry had told him before Severus came into the room.
"She was murdered. Her soul has been with me since her death. I've grown attached to her, became a father, a better one than her own ever was, to her. Her name is Emberly."
Murdered…and she came back here with Harry. Why? He thought to himself, a thumb rubbing circles on the back of her hand. She was a beautiful child, brunette curls and, when he did get a glimpse of her eyes, a startling blue. Looking at her, made him think of the son that he lost.
He wondered what he would have been like if his mother hadn't lost her mind. If his eyes were the silver that is well known in the Malfoy family, his hair the platinum that has be passed down for generations. His sweet boy…lost and how he missed him.
He laid his head on his arm that rested on Emberly's bed and unashamedly let his tears fall. It's been a little over five years, he should have moved on from this already! He scolded himself, his shoulder's shaking as he cried for his precious son.
He didn't know how long he sat there, or how long he cried. He couldn't even recall when he fell asleep. He woke from the movement beside his head, and in his hand, and the low moan coming from the girl.
"Emberly?" he asked quietly, his free hand coming up and brushing a curl behind her ear. Her eyes were squeezed shut and she looked as if she was trying to figure out what happened. "It's alright, Little One, your safe."
It was another moment before she turned her head and opened her eyes slowly. "Wh…where am I?" she asked, confused.
"You're in St. Mongo's. I brought you here upon your father's request." Draco gave her a soft smile and continued, "I'm Draco, a good friend of your father."
"D…Draco?" she asked, pulling her hand out of his and rubbing her eyes, trying to wake up a little more.
"Yes," he nodded, pouring water into a glass and handing it to her. "Has he told you about me?"
She nodded as she sat up a little to take the glass handed to her. "All the time. You and a man called Severus." She grinned and took a sip. "It's nice not to be in so much pain anymore. Daddy was worried I wouldn't have been able to handle the transition back, but I told him that I could."
"He did say that you were, well, murdered…" he said, rubbing the back of his neck.
She nodded and gave a sad smile. "I was pushed down the stairs. Death came for me and brought me to Dad. Dad's taken care of me ever since," her smile brightened once she finished.
"How long have you been with him?" Draco asked, curious.
"Hmm…" she tapped her chin, her eyebrows and nose scrunched up in thought, and Draco couldn't help but think her adorable as she did so. "Not sure, time is different there than it is here. I was several years. I'm sure if you asked Daddy, he would be able to tell you more accurately," she told him.
Draco felt surprised at that but managed to conceal it with a nod. "I see…" before either of them could say anything else, the door to the room opened and a healer walked in.
"Good, your awake," the healer said as he took out Emberly's diagnostic results and the list of potions she had been given. Draco turned to her when he heard her giggle and raised an eyebrow in which she just shook her heard. "And how are you feeling?" the healer asked, ignoring the giggle/
"Much better now!" was Emberly's reply with a wide grin.
"And can you tell me how you received the injuries you sustained?"
"I fell down the stairs, and Mr. Draco found me and brought me here," was her shocking, at least to Draco, response.
"I see. And where are your parents?" the healer asked, "or guardians."
"I…I…" Draco watched as she looked down at her lap, where she was still holding the glass of water. "W…Well, I don't have any…" she whispered, and when she looked up, her eyes looked as if she were on the verge of crying.
So very Slytherin. Draco thought with a mental chuckle as he ducked his head to hide his smirk. "Is this true, Lord Malfoy?"
"It is. I found her crumpled at the bottom of some stairs while I was in Muggle London. I had some potions on me for emergencies, and once I felt that she was stable enough with the blood replenisher, I put her in a body bind and brought her here as soon as possible." Draco looked at Emberly and gave her a wink, "I would have told the healers earlier, but I never got the chance."
"I see. Well, you are one very lucky little girl, Miss…" he paused for a moment with a raised brow, waiting for a name.
"Emberly," she told him.
"Miss Emberly," the healer continued, "As I was saying, you're a very lucky girl Miss Emberly, with the injuries that you sustained, you should have died…"
"Excuse me, Healer, but I feel that must mention that Emberly is only 5 years old and that it is inappropriate to tell her that she should have died. I may not be her father or guardian, but even I know that that is too much for a child to take in, let alone a child her age." Draco said, interrupting said healer.
The healer glanced at him then cleared his throat, "Yes, of course, you're right Lord Malfoy," he turned back to Emberly and continued, "At this time, I feel that it is necessary for you to stay overnight for observation. If your injuries are near completely healed, I will release you, but only if someone is available to be your temporary guardian."
Draco glanced at Emberly and saw the expectant look. That was when he realized that both the girl and Harry expected him to become her guardian. With a sigh and a shake of his head, Draco gave her a reassuring smile before turning back to the healer, "I will be her guardian. I will go to the Ministry and file the appropriate paperwork once we're done here. I hope you won't mind that I stay the night and make sure she is well. Emberly shouldn't be here on her own."
The healer blinked, then said with surprise, "Of course, Lord Malfoy. Once you have the paperwork stating that you are her guardian, please bring a copy with you when you return," he turned to Emberly, "If things continue as they are, and you have no complications, you should be able to be released into Lord Malfoy's custody."
With that said the healer left with a nod towards Draco. Once the door was once again closed, he looked at Emberly and said, "The two of you planned this didn't you?" she nodded, grinning, "Why am I not surprised. What does Harry expect from me?"
The child looked at him and said brightly, "He wants you to adopt me, of course!"
"Of course he does," he muttered and stood. "I best be going to the Ministry and fill out that paperwork." He moved toward the door, his hand on the handle, "I'll be back as soon as I can. You should rest, you're still healing."
He watched as she set her water down on the table beside her bed and settled down to get some more sleep. "Ok, Papa…" she whispered as she yawned.
With a shack of his head, he left her room, then the hospital. Once he was in a back alley, he immediately apparated to the Ministry and made his way to the Child Welfare Department. Draco would be speaking to Harry the next time he saw him. He couldn't believe that he would just drop a child into his lap and expect him to take care of her. Of course, he wasn't at all surprised by it either. Damn you Potter, always meddling when no one wants you too…you're such a coward too.
