Chapter 27

            Harry Potter: Under Our Noses the Entire Time!

            "Harry Potter has been with us the entire time," reports Rita Skeeter, special correspondent.  But it seems that Harry Potter is not the son of the late James Potter and Lily Evans-Potter, he is in fact the son of Mr. Lucius Malfoy and the late Narcissa Black-Malfoy.  Lucius Malfoy has told us that they had given Kaden (Harry) to the Potters for his and their safety; also the Potters could not reproduce. 

            Severus Snape, the best friend of Mr. Kaden Malfoy, says that he was surprised to find he had become best friends with Harry Potter in disguise.  The late Hermione Granger-Malfoy also knew that her husband, Kaden, was really Harry Potter. 

            It is reported that only four people outside of the immediate Malfoy family knew that Kaden Malfoy was Harry Potter:  Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Hermione Granger (who married Kaden) and her cousin, Felicia Granger (who married Kaden's brother, Draco). 

            All of this has been brought to light after very interesting occurrences.  Kaden (Harry) killed Voldemort, and saved his daughter.  While details are slim, we do know that Mr. Kaden Xavier Malfoy is in a coma, residing in the Hogwarts infirmary.  It is unknown when, if ever, he will wake up. 

            For now, we at the Daily Prophet, would like to send Mr. Malfoy's family our condolences, especially that of his daughter, Luciana, and his new fiancée, Trinity Delacour.   We can only wait with hope that our savior shall awaken.

            *~*~*~*~*

            Severus Snape sat diligently beside his best friend's bed in the infirmary.  He had finally gotten Trinity to stay with Fleur.  Luci was in Albus's office.  Lucius and Draco were busy getting Kaden's affairs in order.  Tomorrow would be the day.

            It had been two months sense the night that Voldemort was killed.  Two months of a comatose Kaden Malfoy, also.  They had finally decided, they were going to pull the plug.  Kaden would have never wanted to just be a vegetable.  They would have wanted them to move on around him. 

            Severus grasped his friend's hand.  "Kaden, you…you have to wake up.  I can't take care of Luci, I am not her father.  And…Trinity needs you, Luci, Lucius, Draco, they all need you.  And…I need you, brother.  If you don't wake up by tomorrow morning…they are going to let you go!  Please!  Wake up.  For your fiancée, your daughter, your family, Albus…me.  Why does everything have to always happen to you?  I would have gladly died for you, in a heartbeat, without any thought.  Come on, brother.  We need to here."

            Severus was startled from his rambling when the infirmary door opened.  Albus ran in with a…sleeping Luci.  He put Luci down on the bed and tried to pull Severus away. 

            "Albus, WHAT is going on?  Can't I have just a moment to say…goodbye?"

            Albus looked at him.  The twinkle that had been gone for so long was on full blast!  Severus narrowed his eyes. "What is going on?"

            "LUCI CAN SAVE HIM!"

            "WHAT?  Albus, I always thought you were a little loopy but…this is just too far."  Severus walked towards the bed and was about to scoop Luci into his arms when he was thrown back against the wall. 

            Albus laughed at him.  "You don't understand.  Hermione came to me!  It is the destiny…Luciana Aradia Malfoy….The Light Goddess of Witches.  That is what her name means!  She can save him.  Just….LOOK!"  Light erupted from the chest of the sleeping Luci.  It was a single beam.  It was…pure light.  It moved slowly to Kaden and the light went into his head.  His body convulsed before…it lay still.

            Luci woke up and screamed upon seeing her father's comatose body.  She started crying and Severus pulled her to him.  The fire lit up and Lucius, Draco and Trinity stepped through.  "We…we saw a light.  It…enveloped the castle." 

            Luci suddenly stopped crying.  "I…I never understood."

            Severus looked at the girl in his arms.  "What, Luci?"

            Luci locked her eyes onto the body of her father.  "I…as long as I could remember I have had this dream.  I…I am in a….I don't know, it's not really a room just more like…a space.  But not outside either.  I…there is light all around and bubbles are shooting past going either towards this really big light or this big hole.  I am just in the middle, floating.  Then…a really big bubble comes OUT of the big light.  It…it pops and…I see a girl there.  It looks like pictures of my mother from when she was younger.  She says that I will save him…from himself.  I…I never understood.  Take me to him."

            The rest in the room were looking around in surprise.  Except Albus.  Severus walked the little girl over to her father and she climbed up onto the bed.  She placed her hands on his forehead and light envelops the bodies.  She said, once, "Love binds us, prophecy is fulfilled."  The light then disappeared. 

            The room waited with baited breath until….emerald eyes opened.  They dilated and a soft voice filled the room.

            "I am the past Hermione Granger-Malfoy.  I leave a message for you each.  Albus, my mentor, you have fulfilled your expectations.  Thank you for saving them.  Draco, my darling brother in law, you are everything I could have hoped for in a brother, and Kaden also.  Felicia says to tell you she loves you and is watching over you. Lucius, you are my father and…I will always miss you.   Narcissa says she loves you and is watching over you.  Trinity, take care of Kaden, he loves you so.  You are perfect for each other, which is why I sent you to each other.  It was destined.  Severus, thank you for being a great friend to Kaden whenever you were needed, and when you were not.  Luci, please…watch over your father, he will watch over you. I love you, my daughter.  And…Kaden, marry Trinity, take care of your family and keep Severus close.  Goodbye."

            The next voice that filled the room was hoarse and under-used.  "I have missed you all."  Kaden Malfoy was alive and fine.

            Authors Note:  Okay, so the story is coming to a close.  I am thinking about a sequel but it will be MUCH later that I write it, don't be waiting for it.  I have to go to a conference next the week after next so I will post the epilogue next weekend and you won't here for me for a little bit.  The evil James Potter thing is really hard and I am just toying around with about 4 different stories.  I have about 3 chapters done on each of them.  I don't know which one is working out best so I am not posting any until I see which one is the easiest to write.  Here are the stories I am working on now (it will still be a while until I post).

One) Ebony Malfoy's family dies and she moves to live with her uncle, aunt, and Draco.  They are spies in this one, only known as being on the light side to Dumbledore and Moody.  She falls in love with Harry who Draco really DOESN'T like, but not for the reasons you think.  This one has been written the most on.  Three chapters and about 25 pages.

Two) James is alive but mean and aristocratic along with Sirius.  Remus is the good guy but gets sent away.  Harry disappoints his father and "uncle" several ways and befriends Snape and Draco.  This one is about 3 chapters and 15 pages.

Three)  A Severitus Challenge with a DARK, DARK, DARK, DARK, DARK Harry.  All sorts of evil stuff will be in it.  If you life that kind of stuff read "SUICIDE SOLUTION" it is awesome.  But it won't be anything like Lady Mandara Snakes.  Perfection should not be made so often.  Lol.  I haven't actually typed it up, it is just an outline in a notebook.  I has two chapters done and maybe…10-13 pages.

Four) Sirius comes back from behind the curtain but is HARRY'S age.  They both go to live with Remus?  Maybe.  I am questioning slash-questioning.  One chapter-7 pages.

I am also playing with some original fics.  I will tell you if I ever decide to post on fictionpress.net  Talk to you people later!  REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW! I want to break 500 by the end of this!  The Ebony Malfoy fic wasn't even going to be a fanfic, it just….came out that way.  So I helped it along.  I am thinking about a boarding school story now that would take place during World War 3, yes, I know it hasn't happened yet….lol.
