Ok, so this is where we actually get some crossover. Although Draco starts
with a different name he is still the same Draco, you'll should see about
the name later.
Also, Cordelia's body is the recently demonised one, but in my version the vision pain doesn't go away instantly, it gets gradually better till it's gone.

Chapter Two
"I'm so not the maternal type" complained Cordelia as she tried to get Connor to stop crying as she pushed the trolley half full of shopping towards the car. "What was I thinking?"
"You probably thought the guy was hot at the time so why wait till you can find protection" said a voice from behind her. She turned around a little surprised. A guy was standing there. 'Hello salty goodness' said a voice in her head. He had a very spike look about him, he was tall blonde, there were definite muscles showing through his black shirt, and he was English. He was going for the all black look, but it looked more expensive than anything Angel or Spike would wear.
Cordelia put on her winning smile, she was about to say he wasn't hers but she remembered that she had to pretend he was. It was just too difficult to explain why she was on the run with somebody else kid. People just didn't believe the 'I've lived the very bad future, and came back and changed it' excuse. "Must have been something like that" she replied, wondering if she seemed like a slut now she was a single mother.
"Drake Mannings" he said holding out his hand,
She shook it "Cordelia Angel" she replied. This was the new name she had picked for herself. She had to be Cordelia, she would forget her name if she was anything but Cordelia. She had to change 'Chase' though. She decided on Angel because she really didn't want to change Connor's last name, and she wanted him to really seem like her son.
"And who's this?" he asked smiling at Connor
"This is my son Connor" she replied.
"This is probably my cue to say he looks like you, but he doesn't so I'll keep quiet"
Cordelia laughed. "I thin they mixed him up in the hospital. No way did I scream that much when I was a baby"
He smiled. "You don't sound like you're from around here" he said. They were in a town in New Mexico and Cordelia sounded a little too Californian to go unnoticed.
"We just moved here" she said. If you could all it that. She had run out of gas, and her budget didn't allow anymore if she wanted to eat at all. It seemed like as good a place as any so she was staying. So she was now living in a motel and eating value food. She really missed her old life, where she was eating meals specially prepared by chefs most nights.
"Me too" he said. "I can see you're busy" he said, "So I'll leave you to it, but would you like to have dinner with me one night"
Cordelia's first thought was food, and the "Yes" just came out. He smiled, the smile left when she quickly changed that to "No". She smiled apologetically, "I would like to but I don't know anyone here and there's nobody to look after Connor"
"How about I cook you dinner at my place, and you can bring Connor. Unless that was an excuse and I'm just pushing"
She smiled "It wasn't an excuse, I'd love to"
"Great" he smiled. He had a great smile. He pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down direction to his house. "Tomorrow OK?"
"Tomorrow's great" she said
"If you come by about eight then, you're not a vegetarian or anything are you?"
"Nope, no special dietary requirements. I'll eat anything" Said Cordelia, wondering where the hell that had come from. Queen C, the 'dating slayer' was definitely dead. Oh well, thank god she was still pretty. "I'll see you tomorrow then"
"Can't wait, and I'll finally have a good reason to chuck my room mate out of the house for a while" --------------
"You invited her here? What happened to lying low" demanded Harry
"Lighten up Potter" said Draco as he absently flicked through the channels of the television, God he loved TV, why hadn't it caught on in the wizarding world, it was an ingenious invention. "She's not a spy for Voldemort, she's just a girl, a very hot woman actually, but you get the idea. I expect you to stay out all evening"
"Malfoy, we are meant to be hiding from Voldemort. I am not enduring living with you in the middle of nowhere just so you can shag everything in sight"
"I'm not trying to shag everything in sight, Cordelia just happens to be a very attractive woman. She actually said no at first, definitely a first for me"
"So what you threatened her?" asked Harry. He still couldn't work it out, OK, when push came to shove Draco chose the right side to fight on, but in general he was a bastard, so why did he always get the women?
"No, I just said that she didn't need to find a sitter she could bring her baby with her"
Harry laughed. "Baby? She's a mother? Watch out Draco you could be playing Daddy soon enough."
"You're just jealous because you're a twenty four year old virgin" smiled Draco. What had he done so wrong to end up in America, among muggles with only Harry bloody Potter for company? Well there was that whole thing at school when he was a bastard and bullied peopled for Seven years, then he got out and joined the Death Eaters. Right, that probably answered the question, but he had tried to redeem himself. He had been spying for the good side for long enough, and then he had given up his identity to save Potter. Now Voldemort wanted him dead almost as much as potter. So Dumbledore being the crack pot that he is suggested they hide together. So here they were, and Draco wasn't that far from running to Voldemort with his wand in the air.
Similar thoughts were going through Harry's head as he left the room. What fates had he pissed off so badly that he had ended up in a country where the only person he knew was Malfoy, and he was living with him? It was hell, pure, utter hell.
