Chapter 4 At Harry's House
The first thing Draco saw, upon arriving at Harry's house was a boy with the same blonde hair that adorned his own head and those of his two daughters. When he looked into the face of his son he saw those eyes. The same eyes he betrayed six years earlier only on another face. He had left a look of pain in his ex- lover's eyes and those of his son reflected the same grief.
To break the awful silence, and hoping to bring a smile to face of the other man, Draco said, "You can always tell a descendant of the amazing Lily Potter, can't you? You both have her eyes. That's good, though. They're amazing." His voice trailed off as he remembered the long hours he would spend staring into those eyes. Suddenly his gaze fell to the ring Harry wore. "You kept that?" he asked softly.
"How could I not, after what we had?"
"What happened anyway?"
"Not now, Draco. Meet your son first. Ben!" he shouted, turning toward the young boy, "Ben, come here now. Meet your other father."
Draco heard a small voice yell back as a boy turned to face him, "Papa, you said my other father was never coming back. Why?"
"I never thought he never would. I always hoped, though."
Ben's face lit up like Methuselah's birthday cake. He knew his papa told the truth, for the face he saw was identical to his own. He put down the small shovel he was using to uproot the flower bed, and ran to his father and embraced him. He had dreamed so much of this day. "Dad, why now? Why weren't you always here? Papa said you didn't care but I never wanted to believe it. I knew you would come back, and I'm so happy!"
"Son, I would like you to meet your sisters. I married a woman after I left your father. At the time I didn't care about your father but I always cared about you. Never doubt that. I care now, but I can't stay forever. I'll need to go back to my wife. I'll always come to visit, though. I promise."
"Why? Don't you love us?" The look of hurt tore Draco to pieces. He couldn't bear it, so he changed the subject.
"Son, what do you like to do? What sort of games do you play?" Draco asked him eagerly.
"I like cars! I have a toy bus that papa charmed so it could fly!"
"That sounds truly amazing. What else do you like?"
"I like to play at the park! I also like to read books. Papa says I've already read more books than you ever read in your whole life! I don't believe him. On another day he said you the smartest person on earth! Are you?"
"I wish, but unfortunately, that isn't true by a long shot."
"Well, I don't mind. Will you stay here all day? I want to learn about my dad."
Just then a boy of about fifteen came out of the house and Ben ran to him and grabbed his arm and dragged him over to Draco. "Brian, this is my other dad. Dad, this is my friend. He lives next door and he came to watch me when papa went to see you."
After this introduction, they all went to the park. Ben knew nearly everyone there and dragged Draco around introducing him to everyone. Even the ones that Draco already knew. These people were those that knew that Draco was married to Anna, and had no idea that the boy they were always offering sweets to was the one and only Draco Malfoy's son. When they arrived back at Harry's house, the children were so tired that they promptly went to sleep, leaving the adults alone.
"Now, Harry, tell me what went wrong."
"You wanted out. After Ben was born you were ashamed. You needed a different life. You needed to start over, leaving me to carry all shame. I was hurt, Draco. I still am, and I think Ben is too. He has always wanted to know you and want to just leave so quickly. Why even bother walking back into our lives. You may as well have just let us be."
