Chapter - 1
Inhumane
9th September 1990
Draco stares at the calender. He will never be able to forget this day. It was the day when he called a five year old Albus Severus Potter a freak because he was unfortunate to get abducted by some pedophiles and had panicked when Scorpius tried to comfort him by giving him a friendly hug. Albus had told Scorpius some of what had happened in the house. Scorpius who was Albus's age had tried to hug Albus's pain away.
The child had apparated accidentally to his father and Harry Potter had come accusing him.
Draco had been stupid and had not understood a father's concern and pain for his child, for his five year old little son who had been kidnapped by pedophiles for several days.
He still remembers his words with painful clarity...
"What is the meaning of this Malfoy? Could you not have kept a watch on them. You know what happened and Scorpius - " Potter is looking at him with crazed eyes and Draco snaps angrily at him, " Oh! Now you are going to accuse my five year old son of touching your son inappropriately. Keep your freak of a son away from mine. I won't have him tell frightening things to Scorpius. "
Draco had been so stupid. Potter had not accused Scorpius of anything. To say that Potter had been shocked would be an understatement. Potter had been gob-smacked but had still begged him.
"Malfoy, my son - Albus won't talk to anyone except Scorpius. Please. He is still in shock. He keeps on crying and I don't understand. He doesn't tell anything." Potter had begged him and Draco had glared menacingly at the man, "Keep him away from Scorpius."
"He will go mad Malfoy. Please try to understand. He doesn't tell anything to me. He doesn't talk to anyone except Scorpius. Only scorpius knows what he went through and Scorpius is a child. He won't understand. I need to help my son. Please. I am begging you." Potter begs and Draco snaps at him "Get out Potter and do not darken my doorstep again."
Draco had denied to help him, no matter how much Potter tried to convince him. When Scorpius had asked as to why Albus won't visit anymore, he had just ignored his son but then Scorpius had been just five years old. Years elapsed and finally Scorpius demanded to know the truth and Draco confessed everything.
Scorpius had just stared at him in shock. Draco had asked him about the conversation that he had had with Albus before Draco had kicked him away and Scorpius had denied to tell him anything. He had told Draco in very plain words that Albus was the only boy he had ever loved. In fact Albus was the only one he could call his friend and he would never betray Albus's secrets to anyone least of all a man who was responsible for driving him away and possibly turning him insane.
Draco would never forget Scorpius's words.
"Shame on you father. You knew what he was going through. Instead of helping him, you threw him out of this house."
Nor will Draco forget his father's words.
"Draco. I know that I have committed a lot of mistakes while raising you but this one is the biggest of them all. I raised you to be a heartless man. I raised a replica of mine and I shall forever be ashamed of myself for that."
Nor will he forget his mother's face. She had just stared at him, her eyes full of pain and disappointment. Mother has not spoken to him since that day. Father calls him occasionally but mother doesn't talk to him.
Draco lives with his son in one house but they live as strangers. He had divorced soon after Scorpius had been born and he doesn't have anyone except his son.
Draco tried to search Potter and Albus, through newspapers, magazines but to no avail. No-one knows anything, not even Potter's godfather or Severus. They talk to Potter sometimes but Potter has forbidden them to come over. They talk through firecall only.
He committed a mistake that day and he still regrets it.
Today, ten years later when he has become a successful healer and understands exactly what the child must have gone through, he has no one but himself to blame.
He had tried to send owls to them but Scorpius told him that perhaps they had changed names. He asked Potter's best friends too but they don't know anything about Potter's whereabouts.
Scorpius has not forgiven him and perhaps would never do. Scorpius's eyes are always guilt ridden and Draco wonders as to why, when the blame rests on his own shoulders.

His son had never gotten over that incident. Many a time, Harry wondered how could a human being be so vile, so cruel. They had abducted his baby and he had brought back a child who was just a shell of himself.
Albus had never told him what he had gone through. He had said that he didn't want Harry to suffer. He had borne everything silently.
Albus had always been a mischievous and a happy little child. Harry had divorced Ginny. She wanted it and he had not denied. He always left Albus in lock and key. They played when Harry returned.
He loved his baby more than anyone in this entire world. That day when he returned, the door was open and the whole house was a wreck and Albus was no-where to be found. He had shouted himself hoarse but nothing aurors did could bring Albus back.
Finally, he himself had traced the kidnappers and retrieved his son from their claws. The bastards had escaped. Albus had cried for two days in his arms and had refused to be touched by anyone or even to be in absence of his father. The only person he spoke to was Scorpius and Malfoy had asked him to keep Albus away from his son. Harry had never held it against Malfoy though. He understood where Malfoy was coming from. He had his son to think about.
Albus cried and screamed but never told Harry anything. Harry died a new death each day when he saw his son's little face streaked with tears and his mouth open in a permanent scream.
Healers told him that Albus was penetrated. Harry was devastated. A kind looking mind healer had explained everything to him. Before that day, he had not quite known that pedophiles existed in Wizarding world too. He had thought that wizards and witches valued the magical blood above everything. Harry was shocked and disgusted. How could anyone do this? Albus was only five years old.
His entire world fell apart around him. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to console his son who won't talk to him anymore. They ruined everything and the worst thing was that they fled away. He couldn't catch them. He had no time. Albus was on the verge of a mental collapse. He was screaming and wailing, hidden underneath a bed. His face was red and his eyes were so terrified. He tried to get him to open up but he won't, not even to Rose and Hugo.
Not left with any other option, he had taken Albus away from there and had started living with him in a small town in France. They have a small cottage and Harry works from home. Albus was home schooled. Harry studied wandlore and has a small lab at home. He takes orders through owl only.
Albus is fine, if, by 'fine, you mean that he is still breathing. He has stopped crying in front of Harry. Those bastards left a wound that Harry doesn't think will ever heal. He still has nightmares. The only difference is that he casts silencing charms which even Harry can't penetrate. As far as Harry knows, he is very powerful and he can fight a group of highly skilled death eaters alone if he wants but he doesn't talk to anyone except his teachers or Harry.
At times, Harry notices him looking into space or at the sky through his barely opened windows.
He maintains a facade in front of Harry. He breathes and eats and drinks. He answers when Harry asks something from him but his eyes are always distant. He has inherited Harry's eyes and when his eyes become distant and he freezes and starts sweating, it pains Harry.
When he comes back, his eyes flash and Harry wonders if he is just biding his time.
Ten years have elapsed but he still doesn't speak unless he is spoken to.
Sometimes when Albus is under an impression that Harry has slept, Albus sings a nursery Rhyme but the words are different and they make Harry shiver in the silence of the night.
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I Wonder where you are
maybe Beneath the bed so large
or perhaps behind the door ajar
Twinkle Twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
When Albus sings the damned poem, a shiver crawls up Harry's spine. It's obvious that those bastards used these words to frighten Albus. The most frightening thing is that he can always hear a knife being sharpened when Albus sings. He has never been able to have a look at him when this happens but the song terrifies Harry.
Albus has read all the books that Severus sent to him through Dobby. His knowledge almost equals Harry's and so does his skill. He practices with Harry. Those are the few moments when his eyes gleam with unhidden fury and darkness. It shakes Harry sometimes. Albus is completely ruthless when he duels Harry, not that Harry cares. Harry is skilled enough but the thought of his son carrying so much hatred in his heart is terrifying and saddening.
Not a day has passed when he has not thought that perhaps he should have stayed at home that day... Perhaps he should have taken Albus with him...
It has been all right till now but now Harry has come down with this illness... what will Albus do without him? ... Where will he stay?
