PLAYING HAPPY FAMILIES

Draco Malfoy sat at his Mahogany desk with a letter in his hands; the letter was brown with age and had crease marks along it as if it had been unfolded and read thousands of times. It indeed had been read many times, each time Draco read it, he tried to think of who would leave this letter for him with the most precious gift anyone could ever give him, his baby girl, although she was not a baby anymore she was ten and had started her first year at Hogwart's this year, the same year that Draco had his ten year reunion, making the mystery of the identity of Lilijana's mother even more complicated. Draco sighed and re-read the letter again:

Draco,

This is your daughter, Lilijana. I cannot tell you why I have decided to leave her with you, only that I cannot afford to be a single Mother and although it pains me to leave her with you, I know you will do your best to raise her as well as you can. My only wish, is that on the night of ten year reunion you will meet me under the weeping willow next to the lake at eleven o'clock. On that night, I will tell you everything that I know you will want to know.

I ask you Draco, to take care of our daughter as you took care of me. Know that I will always love you and that the day we are reunited will be the day that I have waited for my entire life.

There was no signature just that note, Draco unrolled a piece of parchment where he had written a list of girls with whom he had slept with in his sixth/seventh yearAll of the names he had written had reasons why they could or couldn't be Lilijana's mother,

Pansy Parkinson - although a likely candidate, he had made sure to perform a contraceptive spell on her when she fell asleep.

Millicent Bullstrode – died shortly after there relationship,

Hermione Granger – Way to studious to carry a baby through her last year,

Lavender Brown – a dud in bed and couldn't make him orgasm.

The list went on; Draco was roused from his thoughts when he heard the sound of his daughter thundering up the stairs, she had come home for Christmas,

"Daddy!" she yelled as she jumped into his arms,

"Lily, oh my beautiful Princess" Draco hugged her tightly, "Let me look at you" Lilijana hopped off the chair and stood back, "No, this isn't my daughter, my daughter is a lot smaller than you" he joked,

"Oh Dad, your so lame" Lilijana laughed.

"Did you learn loads at school?"

"I love Transfiguration, Professor Granger is so smart and she's a muggle, so she knows loads about muggle life"

"Granger? As in Hermione Granger?" Draco asked her, Lilijana nodded. "Interesting"

"She told me she went to school with you" Lilijana continued gushing about her Professor. Soon it was dinner time, the two made their way down to the dining room and sat down to eat.

"Professor Granger says I am a lot like you, she says I will probably be the smartest witch in our class. She also said you were the smartest wizard in your class and that you were Head boy, I want to be Head Girl, but there is this other girl in my class, her name is Molly Potter she has the huge bush of red hair and she's really smart but I don't like her" Lilijana said, she had barely taken a breath since she had started telling Draco of her first year at school,

"Did you say Potter?" Draco asked,

"Yeah, she's really annoying, and she's always getting into trouble, especially with Professor Granger, she's a Gryffindor too, I'm so glad I was put in Slytherin" Draco let his thoughts wander as his daughter talked, 'So Potty and the little weasel and reproduced, what was interesting though was that Granger did not like the spawn of her once best friend. His reunion would be, at the very least, interesting. It was getting close to seven o'clock when Draco tucked his daughter into bed and kissed her forehead,

"Sweet Dreams, Princess" he said, he left the room and turned off the light. He entered his study and sat down at the desk again, he opened the draw and pulled out the letter again, but this time he did not open it he placed it in front of him with a bottle of scotch and a glass. He poured himself a glass and sat there thinking about his daughter. She had long, curly blonde hair, the same color as his, her eyes were a dark chocolate brown, the kind he had seen before but he could not place them. She was about four foot with a creamy complexion. To him, she was perfection, he remembered clearly the day he had found her at his doorstep:

It was a bright and clear morning, Draco was going into Diagon alley to purchase a few things for his new home, he dressed quickly and gulped down a cup of coffee. He checked that he had his wallet and picked up his traveling cloak. He was about to leave when he heard a voice from his living room, sighing he entered his living room to see his Mother's head in the fire place.

"Hello Mother" he said,

"Oh Darling, I'm so glad you're home. I just wanted to invite you to dinner tonight"

"Sure Mum, what time?"

"Around about seven, see you then darling" with a pop she was gone. Draco sighed again and opened the door. He jumped back in surprise when he saw a basket with a baby inside it, sound asleep. He looked around trying to see if there was anyone around, but there wasn't he picked up the basket and took the bundle inside. He read the note,

"Mine?" he whispered, trying not to wake the baby, "No way, she can't be" he stood and picked up the basket, with a small pop he disapparated from his kitchen and reappeared in the lobby of a hospital,

"Draco, what a pleasant surprise" the receptionist cooed at him,

"I have no time to talk, Luna, I need to see Blaise" he walked into his best friends office and sat down,

"Draco, what do I owe the pleasure?" Blaise asked coming in through another door,

"Some mad person has left this child on my doorstep, they reckon she is mine!" he said,

"Yours, the preposterous" Blaise laughed,

"I need to you to perform a DNA spell, just to prove this person wrong." Blaise nodded, he picked up his wand and held it over the baby, he muttered a spell and a thin strand of red light came from the baby, next he held his wand over Draco, the same thin red line appeared from him, Draco sat back and watched as the two cords wound themselves together.

"There a match, she is yours" Blaise confirmed, Draco hung his head,

"I can't raise a baby" he whispered, with that, he stood picked up the little girl and apparated back to his home.

Eleven years had passed since that day, and he had found that he could indeed raise a baby, his mother had been so supportive, looking after Lily anytime she could, Draco guessed she was trying to make up for all the time she had missed raising Draco. Next week was Lilijana's birthday, he would meet her Mother and he would get answers. But at the moment, it was Christmas Eve and he had to put Lily's presents out under the tree, he only hoped she liked what he had got her.
