Chapter 6

Unmistakable

************************************************************************

"Father, why did you have to take my son?", Draco asked infuriatedly.

"I am making things easier for you. Aren't you glad?", Lucius responded while he checked on his polished nails.

"No. I know you are up to something. You don't want to like my son since he is a mudblood. I expected that you'd be disgusted in holding him one bit"

"For one, I don't like your son at all. I still am disgusted with mudbloods. And, I didn't touch him. I had my men take him", Lucius said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Draco was about to punch Lucius in the face when a Death Eater grabbed Draco's strong fist before he it could have had reached Lucius face.

"You think you are stronger than me Draco? Do you think you can defeat me? Too brave you are, my Son. The Dark Side had taught you well"

"YOU taught me well to be evil like you"

"A pleasure", Lucius said sarcastically with an evil smirk playing on his lips.

Draco wanted to punch Lucius again but the Death Eater was still holding him. He struggled to pull his hand away but to no avail.

"The territory speaks well for itself, doesn't it my son? Until you are here at my house, you can't hurt me"

"Then we settle it outside your territory", Draco snapped.

"Every land is my territory, Draco. Soon enough you will see that I will rule both worlds---muggle and mage"

"You will not succeed with your plans! I will be the first one to resist you!"

"Not that I want to be rude, Draco, but I am going to use your son to fulfill my plans"

"I will not allow you to teach my son whatever you taught me"

"But I will, Draco. I will. Men, take him to his house and lock him up there for a week. He can't get any help from his own men"

"I will get you for this Lucius! Mark my word, you will meet death in my hands"

"Words aren't enough my beloved son. . . DO IT, I dare you"

Draco was pulled away. He was taken by other Death Eaters who had long proved allegiance to Lucius. He, Himself, had his own followers, though he had still to train them further before he could let them face any battle in the name of Voldemort, against Lucius and his own men.

************************************************************************

Draco woke up in his room where he felt someone beside him on the bed. He immediately opened his eyes and saw Wade sound asleep.

//I thought Lucius got hold of him. What is he up to now?//

Draco stared at his son very intently. He had been away for five years, and there they were, beside each other in one bed, quietly laid upon the sheets. Draco hesitated to touch Wade at first though eventually, he took a caring hand over Wade's hair and gently smoothed out his ruffled, young hair.

Wade moaned and turned to his other side. Draco smiled. He didn't expect that there was an unexplainable feeling when you are with your own son after years of being away from him.

Too much that he didn't contain, Draco took Wade in his arms and hugged him tight. Draco positioned himself against the head of the bed while Wade curled silently in his arms.

How good Draco felt, he didn't know, nor he even attempted to measure.

//If only Hermione could stay here with us, we would be one happy family//

Draco tried to suppress his happy tears when he let out a cough. Wade was startled, and so he opened his eyes and saw Draco in front of him as he gave a small smirk, very much alike of Draco's.

"Who are you?", Wade's voiced as Draco's heart seemed to have broke at the question.

How was Draco supposed to break it up to Wade that he was his real father and not Harry?

"I'm Draco Malfoy", Draco said as if he was younger than Wade.

"Draco, why am I in here? Where are Mum and Daddy?"

"Mum is back at home. Daddy is--- Daddy is at work"

Wade didn't seem appalled with Draco's presence, and that, soothed Draco a bit.

"Where are we?", Wade inquired.

"In my house baby"

Draco surprised himself by uttering such word. He realized that his soft part was winning over him.

"Baby? I am not your baby. I am Mum and Daddy's"

"But I am, Wade. I am your Daddy"

Wade's brows furrowed in questioning. "How could you be my daddy? You are not Harry Potter". Wade took himself off Draco but he remained on top of the bed beside Draco. He eyed his real father with suspicion.

"Can I tell you a secret?", Draco asked as it was the only approach he knew to deal with smart kids like Wade.

"Yes", Wade's replied as his lips curled.

"You promise not to tell anyone?"

"Yes"

Draco tried to suppress his tears as he saw himself in Wade. They had the same voice when he was still young. Wade also looked much the same like him- --the blonde hair, curled lip and smirk that made girls' hearts melt when Draco had worn it back in Hogwarts. Draco thought that it was his mirror image in front of him, only that Wade's eyes were his mother's. Wade had Hermione's eyes.

"Okay baby. Now you listen very carefully okay?"

"I am listening Draco"

Draco couldn't help but smile. Wade also got his cold, drawling voice and witty remarks.

"Your mother and I met at Hogwarts. Soon after we graduated, we eloped away from the sight of my father who didn't want us to marry. Since we loved each other very much, no one was able to stop us. After some months, my father took me away at the time when we were already expecting you. Hermione was pregnant by the time I was taken away. And since Harry was in love with your Mum, and that your Mum once loved Harry before, they also married, but outside of the wizarding world"

"Muggle"

"Yes. And so, they took good care of you and raised you well. Harry took you as his own son so that you will have a father figure while I was away. But Wade, I hope you believe me, I am your father"

"I believe you", Wade stated at once.

"You do?"

"Yes Draco but why didn't you come back? Didn't you love us?"

Draco was surprised that at the tender age that his son was in, he was able to come up with such question in his mind.

"I loved you both, Wade. I love your Mum very much that while I was away, I cried very often here in this very room. And though I haven't seen you even once, I envisioned you to be very much like me, of which you really are"

"We have the same hair", Wade said in a smile.

"Yes, we do have the same hair and we have the same smirk. I tell you, you will be famous for that", Draco stated as he felt very at ease that his son was able to take the whole situation lightly---of which Draco thought he would have difficulty in presenting Wade with.

"Draco, what do you call your father?"

"I call him Father. . . sometimes when I get mad I call him by his first name"

"What's his first name?"

"Lucius". Draco felt a huge lump on his throat when he said his father's name.

"That is a stupid name. I like your name better. What does it mean?"

"Draco means serpent or dragon"

"Wow, that's cool! How about my name?"

"I don't know Wade. Your mother gave that to you, and probably Harry as well"

"Can I call you my Father as well as you call your father your father?"

Draco smiled a warm smile and nodded. "Yes, you may Wade"

"Okay father. I will call you my father starting today"

"I'm happy you thought of calling me that"

"Aren't we going back home to tell Mum and Daddy that you are back?"

"Not yet baby"

"Why? Mum would be very happy to see you again"

Draco remembered the time that they were once again together at his house back in London. It was very far away from where he was at with Draco since they were up in his house at North. Draco saw images of him with Hermione at the balcony, eating dinner together as if they were the students they once were back in Hogwarts. All those suddenly turned Draco's smile into a frown when he remembered how Hermione disgraced him after telling her that he will take Wade with him.

"We can't baby. We are here up North. London is very far away from here"

"But I want my Mum now. I miss her very, very much Draco. . . I mean, Father"

"We will find a way to get out of here after one week. But for now, we will stay inside the house"

"Are we prisoners in this house, father?"

"Not exactly prisoners but my father locked us up here. We can only get out of the house after one week. I promise you, we will try to get back to your Mum after this week"

"Okay"

Draco smiled again and suddenly realized that it must have been time for them to eat. It was already 8am in his watch and he always took breakfast at 6.

"Are you hungry?", Draco asked as if he had always been a father to Wade. His fatherly side started to come out. He knew that his responsibility as Wade's father had to start already.

"I am. I want a peanut butter jelly sandwich"

"You eat that?"

"Mum always makes me that. I love it"

"What if we eat something else? I have loads of foods you can choose from downstairs"

"Really? Can I have candies after I eat?", Wade asked mischievously. He wasn't allowed to eat that much candies at home, and so he thought Draco can allow him at last.

"Okay, but you have to eat something heavy first. You have to grow tall and strong like me"

Wade smiled at Draco. "Can you stand up there?", Wade asked as he pointed to the side of the bed.

"Why?", Draco asked though he did as he was told to. He stood straight in front of Wade and waited for Wade to say anything.

"You are taller than Daddy"

"I am, baby. I am 3inches taller than him. Now, should we go down?"

Wade jumped off the bed and ran towards the door, far away from the bed. Draco watched him contentedly.

Draco stopped at once, the moment Wade stopped from running. He saw Wade run back to him. Wade stood in front of him, and stared at him in the eyes with the young smirk on his lips. Wade grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him to the door. Before Draco opened it for the, Wade said, "I always do this with Daddy. He likes me taking his hand and pulling him away. He's heavier than you are and I like it. I don't have to pull you that much"

Draco responded with his own smirk, and then they exited out of his room to the dining hall.

************************************************************************

Hermione sat against the sink in their kitchen with Harry playing with the spoon in his coffee cup on the table.

"I really don't remember anything of what you are talking about, Harry", Hermione said as she rubbed her forehead that started to ache.

Harry stood from where he sat and led himself beside Hermione. "It's okay Hermione. Don't push yourself too much to remember. It might not do you good. Just consider everything I told you. We have to find your son very soon. That's all you need to know right now"

"But am I not too young to be a mother? I'm only 22"

"You were young when you got pregnant. That was after we graduated from Hogwarts"

"Hogwarts. . . isn't that my school?"

Harry's face lit up a bit. "You remember Hogwarts?"

"Yes. We take the train from King's Cross' to get there"

"Do you remember Professor Dumbledore?"

"Yes. And I also remember Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Professor Trelawney, and the others. Yes, and there's Hagrid as well"

"Yes, yes! How about any of our friends? Ron?"

"Ron and Ginny. Neville, Seamus, Dean, and the others from Gryffindor too"

Harry grew excited. He was expecting that Hermione somehow was regaining everything back. He thought of the possibility that Hermione can also remember Draco as well.

"How about anyone in Slytherin?"

"Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle. And from Hufflepuff---"

"Don't you know anyone else from Slytherin?", Harry cut in at once.

"I can't"

"Draco Malfoy perhaps?"

"No. I can't. I told you, I couldn't remember any Draco Malfoy"

"But you have to try Hermione"

"Who is he anyway?", Hermione asked rather furious and irritated why Harry had to mention that name over and over again.

"Draco Malfoy is the father of your child, Hermione. He is your first husband, in the wizarding world, that is"

"What does he look like?"

Harry walked over to the refrigerator and took Wade's picture. He went back to where he was and showed Hermione the picture.

"That is Wade, Mione. That is your son. Draco Malfoy looks almost exactly like that"

"Almost exactly like this?"

"Yes, Wade got your eyes"

"I'd say that Draco Malfoy might be one handsome lad"

"He is Hermione, and that is why all the girls at Hogwarts envied you when they knew from the Daily Prophet that you eloped after graduation"

Hermione fell silent and she shut her eyes as images of different issues of the Daily Prophet flashed in her head. She saw flashes of some of the headlines and the other news articles inside and after a few seconds of recalling the newspaper with her eyes tightly shut, she saw in her mind the article wherein the story about their marriage was found. She saw clearly their wizard picture on the front page with Draco kissing her on the lips over and over again.

"NOOOO!", Hermione yelled hard that she fell to the floor, crying as if she was a child.

"Mione, Hermione, wake up!", Harry yelled as he desperately wanted to take Hermione back into reality.

"No. . .", Hermione mouthed in between her cries. Harry took his arms around her and Hermione gave most of her weight to Harry.

Hermione felt helpless. She didn't want to remember anything anymore.

"Hermione, talk to me", Harry pleaded as he knew that Hermione was having emotional overload.

"Harry, it can't be. . ."

"So you remembered the time you eloped?"

"No. We couldn't have done that! I couldn't have chosen to marry him!"

"But you seemed to have remembered"

"Harry it can't be true. . . It must have been a mistake! And this child, he is cursed!"

"Hermione, what are you talking about?"

"That Wade you are talking about, he is the child of the enemy! I can't have married that Draco Malfoy who made our lives a living hell! How could I have married the enemy? I remember I have sworn to my grave that I will never have any feelings for that bastard. That makes our child a mudblood too! This is not right! This is not right Harry. I didn't love him. I didn't marry him! I didn't do that Harry! I didn't do that!. . ."

Harry felt that Hermione had given her full weight onto him. He looked at her and found that she was unconscious with her face all wet of her tears with the truth that she once loved the enemy.

Wa-hey! 6th chapter and still going!

All I wanted to clear up is that Hermione remembered that she must've eloped with Draco but she dismissed the thought as the only image she had of Draco in her mind was the arrogant, ferret boy that they had to bear living with at Hogwarts. Hermione can't remember how she loved the enemy and how they ended up together. That gave her the mental and emotional overload, making her fall unconscious in Harry's arms [yihee! Lol]

So, thanks for reading on and please, hold on to the next chapters. I love you guys for reading and dropping a review.

So, please do review once more and tell me everything you like-comments, suggestions, anything. Correct me for mistakes. Anyways, I know there are loads of mistakes in the spelling, so just tell me if the grammar is getting any better. I will try to find time to re-edit all the chapters.
