One mistake. All it takes is one mistake, and your entire life turns upside down. Draco made a mistake. At the age of eighteen, he decided to do some good. He donated to a sperm bank, hoping to spread the Malfoy family line. He never knew why he chose that, but he did. He didn't know who the mother was, but he knew that out there, he had a child.

Draco sighed wearily. He was now twenty-eight years old, working in the Ministry of Magic as his father had done. He lived alone; no one really came to his house other than his best mate, Blaise Zabini. His parents had deceased the year before, killed by a group of mutinous Death Eaters. He didn't miss them much, for they had never really been close. He sat on a large, plush couch in his living room, reminiscing to his Hogwarts days. He dreamt happily for a while, drifting into a light doze. He was awakened half an hour later by the pecking of an owl on his window. He sat up groggily.

"Whossere?" he asked, squinting through the darkness. He removed his wand from his pocket.

"Lumos," the room lit up from the light on his wand. He walked to the window and opened it, the large tawny owl fluttering in, settling itself on his coffee table. He sat again, untying the letter. It had an official looking seal on it, though it was not the seal from the Ministry, or from Hogwarts. He opened it curiously, and read it aloud, though no one was there but the owl and himself.

"Dear Mr. Malfoy,

As you know, you donated your sperm to the Sperm Bank of Hogsmeade approximately 10 years ago. We are pleased to inform you that your sperm was used, and the woman who birthed a beautiful little girl. That was ten years ago, though. We have discovered that the mother of this young girl has gone missing. Though we tried the godmother and godfather of the girl, we decided they were unfit to handle a child of this age, and she had no living relatives. The only other choice we had was to grant you her custody. She awaits you in Hogsmeade Adoption Agency. Her name is Felicity. If you do not feel you can handle her, please owl back immediately. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Hogsmeade Adoption Agency"

Draco sat, bewildered on his couch, gaping at the letter. A daughter? He never expected this. Grabbing his coat once again, he ran to the fireplace. The owl chirped sharply. He rolled his eyes and walked back to her, giving her a pat on the head and ushering her to the window. She gave him an appreciative nip and flew out the window towards Hogsmeade. Walking once to the fireplace once again, and he threw some Floo powder into the roaring flames, they turned green. He stepped in, and yelled, "Hogsmeade Adoption Agency!" and he was gone in a swirl of char.

A great whoosh of air was heard through the large white halls of the Adoption Agency. Draco stepped out of the fireplace, brushing char off his clothes.

"I hate that," he spat, as a house elf came and took his coat.

"Someone will be with you momentarily, sir" she squeaked, scurrying away. Draco sat in a stuffed armchair nearby, and soon a woman cam out from around the hall corner.

"Ahh, Mr. Malfoy! How good to see you! My name is Gladice Goodem; I'm the director of the agency. I'll tell you know Felicity is absolutely delighted to see you! She can't believe she's finally meeting you!" she said, leading him down the hallway. As the approached the end, a small girl with flaming red hair and cold, gray eyes stepped into the hallway.

"Gladice? Is he here yet?" she asked in a false-sweet voice. Draco sensed the girl's sarcasm, and smiled. She was a Malfoy.

"Yes, dear. This is he! Draco Malfoy, your father!" she exclaimed, and Draco was surprised she wasn't bouncing. "I'll give you two a while to catch up. When you're done, I'll be in my office down the hall. Ta ta!" she said, walking off into a room not so far away, closing the door quietly. Draco looked at the girl.

"So you're Felicity," he said to her, and then quietly to himself, unsure feelings rising within him. "My daughter..."
