The winds raged and the rain poured from the sky so angrily that one might think that the Gods were trying to destroy the earth they so carefully built, the reports had said that this was going to be the worst storm in living memory and it seemed they were correct. The winds sounded like the screams of a Banshee as they hit the windows of Malfoy Manor, masking the painful cries of a woman, pushing in order to allow a new life to enter the world. Brown hair matted onto her pale head, sweat and tears dripping from the sides of her face as she continued the never-ending struggle.
Her husband dutifully sat next to the weeping woman holding her hand, his face showing concern that was an unfamiliar expression upon his aristocratic features, for the labor was long and the storm being a bad omen on what was meant to be a glorious day.
Pale blue eyes connected to the kind brown of the Mediwitch "How much longer will this be? she has labored a day and a half already"
"Soon Mr. Malfoy" her gentle voice spoke. "I see the child's head, it shouldn't be to much longer"
At these words Narcissa Malfoy continued to push with vigour, eager to see her firstborn child.
"It's a boy!" Lucius moved from his position in order to gain a better view of the child as Narcissa leaned back on the pillows, exhausted from the pains of childbirth, unaware of the situation that was at hand.
As the Mediwitch was cleaning of the child from the afterbirth Lucius observed his son, full of fatherly pride and joy that only comes when first seeing your child enter the world. The boys screams were loud, probably scared of the new world around him. However, that didn't deter Lucius whatsoever. Looking at his son he came to realise the boy looked quite a bit like him, sporting a head of silver blonde hair and pale alabaster skin, he wondered what his eyes looked like as they were still shut tight as he wailed.
As the Mediwitch turned him over in order to clean his back Lucius noticed a blotch of reddish brown pigmentation on skin, near the boys shoulder. Upon closer inspection Lucius saw the mark looked like a Dragon.
"What it that? there on the skin on his shoulder" He asked the Mediwitch fatherly pride now replaced with concern once more.
She moved the child to examine the mark "It appears to be a birthmark, Nothing to worry about Mr. Malfoy, many children have birthmarks and usually fade away as they grow."
Pleased at this, Lucius' concern faded as the Mediwitch swaddled the young boy and handed him to his father, as soon as the boy was in his arms he instantly became quiet. However, the sweet silence was broken by Narcissa's painful scream. The Mediwitch quickly went to her asking her what was wrong.
"there's something else" she cried as she continued to push. The Mediwitch went and sat between the young woman legs once more and saw something that she had never seen in her career.
"What is wrong? is there another child?" Lucius yelled.
"i'm not sure Mr. Malfoy, I have never seen anything like this. But, it defiantly isn't another child." Narcissa continued to push and after a short while an oval shaped object appeared.
"Is that an egg?" Lucius asked confused, calming down the child who fussed upon hearing his mothers scream.
"It appears to be" The Mediwitch had then begun cleaning the egg as Lucius had come closer. The young babe in his arms had stretched and touched the egg making the egg begin to tremble and crack. Lucius and the Mediwitch had instantly stepped back the young babe wailing from the sudden movement.
As parts off the egg flew across the room like pieces of shrapnel a small black scaled head with red eyes appeared, moving what seemed to be a tail.
"A Dragon." Lucius whispered. The boy in his arms continued to wail and the small Dragon then looked at the child and jumped to the floor. The Dragon was harmless as it was just a babe and did not process the power to fly or breath fire and thus Lucius was not frightened when the young Dragon scrambled at his feet, tripping over and falling several times before it reached its destination. Once there it attempted to climb on Lucius pant leg, each time falling over and bumping its small head on the wooden floors.
Lucius bent down to examine the Dragon closer, once on the floor the boy stopped crying almost instantly and the dragon once again had his sights set on the small boy, lying his head on the blanketed foot of the small child.
"Lucius, what are you doing!" His wife exclaimed "It's a Dragon, get it away from the baby."
"Don't worry Chrissy its too little to do any harm, besides I think our boy likes him" he said letting out a chuckle, looking down at the boy who now looked like he was trying to pet the little beast.
"Give me the baby Lucius" his wife demanded. As soon as he stood both baby and Dragon started wailing, confused at what was occurring he quickly snapped his fingers and a house elf appeared.
"How can Dobby help Master."
"Contact Newt Scamander, tell him there is something that will interest him here in Malfoy Manor." he demanded
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy" the elf spoke and quickly disappeared to do as his master had demanded.
Once the elf had left his presence Lucius deposited the child into Narcissi's waiting arms. however, this did not stop the child weeping and only made them louder. Lucius had dismissed the Mediwitch telling her that they had everything under control and that they would arrive the following day and St mangoes to fill out the necessary paperwork.
"I don't understand why he is crying" Narcissa stated as Lucius went over and picked up the little dragon, careful to avoid being bitten, it was apparent that although he was father fond of the newborn baby, the dragon had a great dislike for Lucius at the moment.
He continued walking to the bed were Narcissa and the baby laid and sat near her and the baby, at once both seemed to become quiet.
"Told you he liked the dragon" Lucius chuckled as Narcissa glared.
a knock was heard at the door and Lucius opened the door to see Mr Scamander in the flesh.
"Hello, I'm Newt Scamander, I don't believe we've met, your house-elf came and fetched me." Obviously confused as to why he was being held in Malfoy Manor, having little known about the Malfoy's besides his wife's connections to Leta Lestrange.
"Yes I asked him to get you right away, Im Lucius Malfoy." he said and proceeded to shake the mans hand "Something quite strange has happened once my wife had have birth." trying to find the right words to say, still rather confused about the whole ideal.
"I think this is a problem better solved at a Hospital."
"After giving birth to my son she delivered a Dragon egg, which hatched once my newborn son touched it." Lucius expressed watching the mans eyes widen in shock.
"She Laid an egg?!" Lucius just nodded and opened the door to the bedroom.
"Just in here is where I left them" Scamander scurried after Lucius eager to see this dragon and once in the room he observed a woman holding a babe on one side of her chest and a dragon on the other.
"Good evening, you must be Newt Scamander, my name is Narcissa Malfoy nee Black, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Pleasures all mine" he said as he looked as the child seeing a head full of silver blonde hair and the small black dragon, both rather content where they were. "Do you mind if I see the child" he asked, the woman slowly nodded handing over the baby, the dragon had the squawked removing himself from the woman and waddling to him, coming close to the baby once again. Newt had then popped the baby on the bed, under the careful supervision of the parents. "Has he opened his eyes yet?" he asked.
"No not yet, he's been either crying or sleeping since his birth" Lucius stated. "Do you have any idea how this could of occurred?"
"I have an idea, but I have a few questions first" He said as he unraveled the child from his blanket whining a bit because of the cold air on his skin. Newt turned the boy over seeing the small birthmark, carefully brushing his finger over the area.
"The Mediwitch said not to worry, that lots of children get birthmarks and it should eventually fade away" Narcissa calmly spoke. However, as Newt looked into the pale blue eyes Mrs. Malfoy and he found a mothers worry.
"Yes. However I'm afraid this birthmark will never fade" gaining confused looks from the parents which he ignored. "Mr. Malfoy you are aware of some of the lore your family has regarding House Targaryen."
"Yes, fairytales about men and women befriending and riding Dragons whilst conquering lands." Lucius stated.
"I don't think it was a fairytale Mr. Malfoy" watching the child interact with the Dragon "It was said that the Targaryens were born with silver hair and purple eyes and their magic being so strong that they had the ability of being flame resistant. They were able to befriend wild dragons, as well as raise them. It is said that the first Dragon was laid by a woman" He said whilst looking at Narcissa. "I think that he may of inherited the ability from house Targaryen, much like how it is possible to inherent powers such as Metamorphmagus from House Black."
" So he's just special, there's no danger" she said concern washing off her features.
"N-Yes" Lucius interrupted Newt.
"The last Targaryen who had Dragons was Daenerys Stormborn. She had one son whom she wasn't able to raise due to the usurpers and other enemies at the time trying to kill the Targaryen line because of her power. Many would like to have that power." Lucius stated looking off into the window where the stormed still raged across the horizon.
Newt looked over to the young woman tears in her eyes as her young babe might be in danger. He took hold of her hand, knowing right know she needed comfort. "It was said that Daenerys was born in the worst storm in living memory, I believe it is not a coincidence that your son is also born in the worst storm in living memory." looking calming into the eyes of the distraught Narcissa "Daenerys was an extremely powerful and clever woman and I believe that your son will be equally as powerful" looking down at the babe who had been rubbing his eyes for quite sometime. He handed the babe back to Narcissa, the little Dragon obediently following after the baby.
"His eyes, He opened his eyes." She stated, voice full of excitement. "there beautiful" gently stroking her sons cheek. Lucius removed himself from his perch and looked at the boy once more.
"There purple…silver hair and purple eyes." he stated.
"A true Targaryen indeed." Newt included "Have you given the boy a name yet?"
Sharing a knowing look with his wife, Lucius turned to Newt "Draco Stormborn Malfoy"
"Draco as in Dragon I assume" Both parents nodded attention once again focused on the baby "and what of the dragon?"
"Drogon." Lucius answered. "All the stories I heard about Daenerys said she had a Dragon named Drogon."
"Maybe your boy will conquer lands just like his ancestors, you might be raising a King" All three adults chuckled at the small joke. "I believe it is time for me to leave." looking once again at the small family. " If it is no trouble I would like to observe Draco and the Dragon as they grow, it might be useful for my research."
"Of course, thank you once again for coming at such short notice"
"It's no problem" and with the Newt Scamander apparated back to his home.
