RATING: M
DISCLAIMER: I don't take any credit for the Harry Potter Books and or characters,places, etc mentioned in the following story, all rights belong to J.K Rowling
REASON?: Alright so we've all seen the basic stories out there with either 'Harry,Hermione,Ginny,Ron,Fred,George' and so on are the type to always end up in some AU/AR world or thrown into a time travel situation whether forced or accidental. Most of the time they either have tear jerker reunions,attempt to change or save the past/AU worlds, go along for the ride and try to blend in, and last but not least some of them in these situations are battle weary,cold,distant, and usually disturbed by all of it(usually Harry) Now I've always wondered(and trust me I've searched) that why isn't Draco ever in these situations? shouldn't he get a chance to jump back in time? or at least accidentally at like 30 yrs of age be forced to face younger versions of his parents? Or even worse, Alternate versions? Nicer? Calmer? ones who maybe don't believe in pureblood nonsense? Maybe even support the Light Side? How would everything go down? We always know how Lilly and James Potter act around an alternate Harry, But what if Draco Malfoy was in his spot instead?
THE SUMMARY: In his later years Draco Malfoy was never really surprised by much anymore, one got used to blood in the Dark Wars, But still..when it all came to an end he should have expected something like this to come along and turn his world upside down. Now he was where? This is all Potters fault!!

Chapter 4: Wait...No Potter?
**********************************
Morning found the object of their discussion sitting calmly at the round table of the great hall, feet propped up on said table, leaning back in his chair with arms crossed, once again dressed to the make in the military uniform. While pale grey eyes went back and forth watching those who continued to enter over the next few hours. Not a word was spoken, for what could really be said? He couldn't help but glance for long moments at both his parents and Snape, although he did his best to hide such facts, a deep pang in the bottoms of his stomach somewhere, things he didn't want to admit nor think about right now, there was more pressing business to attend to.
Finally when all were settled and Order talks began, Dumbledore took over and the reports came in from what Aurors were gathered, many of them had the same thing to say. ' a few raids, much to quiet,what do we do? etc etc'
The silence hung in the air for about a good ten minutes, then.. Draco set aside his goblet of pumpkin juice. "I believe that proper introductions are in order, are they not?". he said icily,his voice that type that it was so quiet yet could still catch the entire of all.
"Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts".
"Lilly Potter, Healer"
"James Potter, Auror"
"Sirius Black, Auror".
"Arabella Figg, Squib"
"Minerva McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor House".
"Alastor Moody, Auror".
Suddenly at the mention of Moody, Draco look up and met his gaze with the man, after a moment of utter silence he gave a small nod. "it's an honor...".
Said man cracked a grin. "An honor?".
Draco smirked just a bit, although on his blank face you really couldn't tell. "History speaks well of you".
But then when the silence continued around them, Draco could only sigh and briefly shake his head, pulling his feet off the table while the chair legs gave a loud clack at hitting the floor, he then leaned forward and pulled a plate of chicken salad over, carefully maneuvering it to eat safely, checking for poison or compulsions, an obvious habit to those who saw these simple movements.
"Very well then I suppose it's my turn, only fair". now he'd caught their interest " Since I was in the hospital wing for such a short time and you obviously wanted answers, then no doubt you know that I am a Malfoy". tipping his head towards both his parents in acknowledgment. "Now unless you all want to mess with the disturbance of time itself or the events which must continue as is, there's not much I think I should say about the future". He said all this flawlessly never leaving his gaze off Dumbledore.
"I understand quite well ". The Headmaster answered
Letting out a quiet snort at the irony of being called. '' once more..he'd been under alias's so long in the muggle word that he'd almost forgotten.
"Since were getting down to the seriousness of things...The names Lieutenant Draconius Abraxas Malfoy, Order of Merlin first class, Commander of the Ganarian Forces".
"L-Lieutenant?". Narcissa stuttered in shock, Lucius on the other hand was just wide eyed, others didn't know what to say, all the while Albus simply sat there with a quiet thoughtful frown upon his face.
"You'll forgive me if I have a hard time believing all this, quite frankly it's not every day a man shows up claiming to be from the future". he added
For the benefit of the doubt, Draco could only give him a slight nod. "Understandable" as he drank from the glass of wine with a familiarity that screamed. 'yes-I-have-done-this-before' "In truth,I have no idea how I ended up here, I'd like to blame it on a broken portkey,misplaced spell, but this has Potter written all over it"
By the end of these words the effects were different for all, parents of said Potter were wide eyed, and the Slytherins couldn't help but snort for they to having been in complicated prank situations from their own Potter
"Excuse me..but you mentioned a..p-potter?". Lilly whispered, Draco stared at her for a moment until he set the drink down and nodded. "Yes, Harry Potter". She gasped and held a hand over her mouth while James sat there in stone shock.
"What?..you are pregnant with him right?".
Dumbledore on the other hand looked very grave.
"Thats just it ..Lilly sadly lost her child in a recent Death Eater raid".
