DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately I do not own Harry Potter, most of the charecters and the world they live in are owned by J.K. Rowling. I just have the pleasure of using them in my story.
A/N So I edited the chapters I already had, 'cause there were a few glipses, I hope that I sorted all those out now. And I have only one more thing to say before I start this story: You can take somebody out of the Malfoys, but you can never take the Malfoy out of someone..
Prologue
Orange
shadows swept across his face as he saw the classiest and probably
most feared manor of the street, maybe even of the town, become
nothing more than ashes and dust
"Looks
like uncle Lucius doesn't like to play nice, Jane."
The six
months old just giggled. Still fascinated by the butterfly he had
followed all the way up the hill, so the smile wouldn't disappear
off her little face.
"Poor
Anna. She must have been serving breakfast…"
One tear
rolled slowly off his face.
"And
Milady… the whole family was trapped inside."
Jane
stopped trying to catch the butterfly and seemed to search for the
thing that made her saviour so sad. He looked one last time at what
remained of his home, if you could call it that. Then turned his eyes
to the manor next to it. Still standing strongly.
"You've
fallen deeper than I thought, Lucius. Killing your own family. Flesh
and pure blood. We're safe for now, Janie. He thinks I'm death.
He doesn't even know you exist."
He sighed.
Jane pinched his thumb. Then a frown crept upon his face.
"But
what if he finds out. After all, it's Lucius. He has his ways."
Jane
pinched again.
"We
have to hide."
He looked
down at the little girl. His little girl. She smiled at him. He would
do anything for her.
"We
have to hide."
His
decision was made. There was no other option.
"Well,
this is it. Janie, say goodbye Drakey, goodbye aunt Cissa."
Jane
giggled, she had no idea what was going on, but she had recognized
Draco's name and she liked him.
"Farewell
Lucius."
There was
a bang and a moment later the scene on the hill was empty. Except for
a butterfly.
Hogwarts seemed abandoned. All students were sent home to enjoy a well disserved summer break. Of course with all the danger running around lately, there was only so much you could enjoy.
He
walked silently, almost afraid to get caught. He had never seen
Hogwarts this way. So peacefully. In his seven years at school there
had always been kids running through the hallways, chasing each
other. But now you could only hear the fading footsteps of
professors. It was so quiet; Jane had fallen asleep in his arms. He
stood in front of the statue that guarded Dumbledore's office.
'I hope
he didn't decide to go to Hawaii or something.'
He
kept staring at the statue, waiting until it moved.
Then it dawned on him.
"I need
a password."
He had
said it a little too loud. Jane started to mumble in her sleep. A
sign that she would be waking up and she would be very grumpy.
"This
really isn't my lucky day." He whispered.
Jane
yawned and seemed to fall back to sleep again.
'Well
that's at least one person on my side, now if I could only get that
statue to move.'
However
when he looked up, the statue stood at his right side and he was
facing a flight of stairs.
"Guess,
Dumbledore saw I was waiting." He mumbled.
After
climbing the stairs without waking his little girl, he knocked on the
massive door.
"Come
in." A familiar voice answered.
He entered
the office while slowly taking in the peculiar interior.
"Andrew
O'Malley! Is that really you?"
"Yes.
It's me, sir."
"No sir
necessary, Andrew. After all, we're all adults here. You can call
me Albus."
"I'll
try. But I don't think I can, sir. See it's kind off a habit."
"Well,
what brings you here, Andrew? Last I heard, you and your sister were
captured and serving the Malfoys. Whose manor has caught fire this
morning. And now you show up at my doorstep, with a baby."
"I'm
on the run."
"May
I ask, for who?"
"Lucius."
Was the short answer.
"Ah. I
see."
The
sparkle in Dumbledore's blue eyes disappeared when Lucius' name
was mentioned.
"But he
thinks you're dead, so why run?"
"He
doesn't know she exists."
He nodded
his head at the little girl in his arms.
"Anna
and I call her Jane O'Malley. We have raised her so far. But she
was born with the name Alexandria Narcissa Malfoy."
"She's
a Malfoy? But I thought Claudius and Anastasia only had one child,
young lady Juliana."
"Well,
Claudius wasn't content not having a male heir. He was just like
his brother Lucius sometimes. So they kept trying. Every time it was
a girl, he killed the foetus. Six times that happened. Milady was
broken. So the seventh time she hid the pregnancy and the baby was
placed with is. Nobody knew, except Milady, Anna and I. And now only
you and me, si- Albus."
"Seven.
That number contains really ancient magic. She must be quite
special."
"Not
really. She's just the cutest thing ever." Andrew smiled.
"I'll
help you hide, Andrew."
"Thank
you, Albus."
Dumbledore
stood up and walked to one of his armoires. He opened the draw of one
and took out a map, which seemed muggle made. After he was back
seated, he spread out the map on his desk.
"Your
parents were muggles weren't they, Andrew?" He asked.
"Yeah,
they were. That's why Anna and I were captured. We gave the baby a
muggle name too. So nobody would assume she's a Malfoy."
Dumbledore
nodded.
"Very
smart. So I can assume you know how to act and survive in the muggle
world."
"You
can, Albus."
The
professor studied the map for a while.
"I'll give you a home in Paris. It's an all muggle city, but a
lot of others wizards and witches went into hiding there. I'll also
make sure little Jane gets signed into Beauxbatons. It's not
Hogwarts, but she will learn to deal with her power the same way."
"That's
great! How can I ever thank you enough?"
"Just
make sure she doesn't end up like the rest of her family. Make her
an O'Malley, Andrew."
"I will
do my very best, Albus. When do we leave?"
"Now
seems like the perfect time."
