Hi everyone. Thank you for the reviews. I can't believe that this story was so well received. This is actually supposed to be a short story but only time will tell how long it will get. As I said before I don't write anything in advance; I just sit at my computer and write.

I don't own Harry Potter and Co.

CHAPTER SIX

It was August fifteenth when Draco and Evan showed up at Hogwarts. Draco had come in advance to be able to attend some teacher's meetings. They were greeted by all the other professors who were happy to see one of their old students who was also a war hero. Evan just smiled at the attention his father was getting.

Draco laughed and gestured to Evan; he wanted him to come and stand next to him. "Thank you for the warm welcome. I would like you all to meet my son Evan."

The young boy smiled at his future professors. "Hi, I'm so happy to come to Hogwarts. Papa has told me so much about the school." The teachers were happy to see the excitement showing in the boy. Severus made his way to his godson.

"Draco, why did you keep him a secret from me?"

"I'm sorry Sev; I kept his existence secret for security reasons. There were still many death eaters around for a few years after the war. With who his other father is; it would have been dangerous to tell the wizarding world that their savior actually had a son."

"So this is Potter's son." sneered the potion master.

"Yes but remember that he is also my son and he was raised by me. He knows everything about his other daddy. Don't get on his back for who his daddy was."

"I have no doubt that you raised your son correctly." Severus gave Evan a rare smile.

"Professor Snape, Papa told me that you're a potion master."

"Yes, I am."

"Well I have a few questions about some potions I was working on and I wanted to know if you could help me?"

Severus was taken aback with the news that Draco's son was interested in potions. "Sure, I will let you know when I have a free moment to talk."

"Really, wow, great." Evan ran over to his dad, who was now speaking with professor Flitwick, to give him the news. Draco sent a thankful look at his godfather.

In the afternoon after they had settled down in their quarters; they decided to go to the Quidich pitch to have a game of catch the snitch. Draco was proud of his son's talent. Evan would now beat him half of the time. Hell the boy could even pull a Wonsky feint. They spent hours flying not noticing that they had acquired a few spectators.

The four heads of house and the headmaster were looking at the young Malfoy out fly his father. The boy had natural talent. He would probably be the second first year student to be chosen for his house team in this century. Albus could see Harry's flying skill in the boy.

It was two laughing Malfoys that found five people looking at them when they were done. Professor McGonagal was the first to speak. "Mr. Malfoy, it would seem that your son is a very talented Quidich player."

"Yes, he takes after both his fathers." Said Draco who turned around and left to take his shower. Evan was blushing at the praise. His father had often told him how good he was but this was the first time someone else had let him know. He excused himself and followed his father to get cleaned up for diner.

Minerva McGonagal turned around and asked the headmaster "did he say that the boy had two fathers?"

"Yes, young Evan was carried by Draco; the Malfoys are an old pureblood family where males can become pregnant."

The teachers started asking if he knew who the other father was but the head master shook his head and told them they would find out soon.

September first finally came and Draco dropped Evan off at platform nine and three quarters so he could catch the train.

"But papa; I was already at school whey should I have to take the train?"

"Because the train ride is half the fun in starting the school year. You will be able to make new friends, go now before you miss it. I'll see you tonight at the feast." Draco kissed the top of Evan's head and apparated to Hogsmead after he made sure his son was safely onboard.

A few hours later the first years were led into the great hall by professor McGonagal. They were waiting anxiously for the sorting.

Draco spotted Evan who was talking with a red head boy. They were both laughing and had obviously become friends. Draco smiled; the young red head had the Weasley hair. "Figures that Harry's son would become friends with a Weasley." He thought.

Draco leaned over towards Severus and asked him which Weasley was the father of the boy Evan was talking to.

"That's Bill oldest son. He and Fleur Delacourt got married in your seventh year and now have five children."

Draco rolled his eyes when he heard the amount of children they had. The Weasleys were famous for large families.

When Evan's turn came up professor McGonagal seemed to choke on his name.

"Evan Potter-Malfoy"

She watched as the messy haired blonde made his way to the sorting hat. She got a good look and saw the resemblance; messy hair and bright green eyes hidden behind round glasses. "Merlin, what will Harry say?" she thought.

Evan sat on the stool and placed the sorting hat on his head. "Ah... A Potter-Malfoy. Now that's not a combination I've ever seen before. You're quite cunning, loyal, and smart but the trait that stands out the most is your bravery. So there is only one house for you...GRYFFINDOR."

Evan jumped off the stool and made his way to the Gryffindor table. He smiled at his father and uncle Sev. He sat next to another first year and waited for his friend to be sorted. A few minutes later Robert Weasley came and sat next to him. They started chatting again and started eating when the meal appeared.

After the meal professor Dumbledore got up to give his usual beginning of year speech.

"First I would like to welcome all our new and returning students. The forbidden forest is still forbidden to anyone. Mr. Filch has a list of all items band in the school; for more information you can see him in his office. Now I would like to present to you your new ancient runes professor: Draco Malfoy."

The students applauded Draco who stood up and bowed to them. When he sat back down professor Dumbledore continued speaking. "Now I would like you to meet one of your defense against the dark arts professor: Harry Potter."

Draco almost chocked on his pumpkin juice. He watched as Harry made his way into the great hall. He came to the head table and sat next to Draco.

Draco closed his eyes and hid his face in his hands. He was shaking like a leaf and didn't hear when Harry said his name. He stood up on shaking legs and excused himself from the table. He made his way out of the school and didn't notice two people following him. Once he was near the forest he transformed into his wolf animagus form. Evan who had followed him saw his father change into a wolf. He knew that if he wanted to follow him he would have to change to his own form. Checking to make sure that no one was looking he transformed into his lion form and started running after his father. He was finally able to catch up and sat next to Draco. They both transformed back and Evan threw himself in his father's arms.

Draco's world had just crashed. He couldn't understand why Harry was alive and had never told him.

Harry watched the two figures cry in each other's arms. Draco holding their son as the boy kept asking him why his daddy didn't let them know he wasn't' dead, didn't he love them?

"I don't know Evan, I just don't know." Finally noticing that it was getting late Draco told his son that they needed to get back. Both transformed again and made their way to school. Harry was wondering just how strong was his son magically to be able to manage the animagus transformation at that age. He followed them back to school in his eagle form.

Draco brought Evan to professor McGonagal's quarters. He knocked at the door and waited for the witch to answer. When the professor opened the door she was surprised to see Draco and his son.

"I apologize for disturbing you so late Minerva but could you help Evan find the Gryffindor dorms. It's my fault that he's up so late."

Putting on an understanding smile on her face she told Draco that she would show Evan to his common room and make sure he was settled down. She was a bit ashamed at how Albus and Harry had shocked the poor man with the way they had revealed that Harry was alive and well. Both Draco and Evan looked drained of emotions.

Once Evan had gone with the professor Draco decided to go to Severus' quarters for a stiff drink. While he was walking he came upon a familiar corridor. It lead to the secret room that he and Harry had shared in their seventh year. He stopped and looked at the corridor for a few seconds before deciding to see the room one more time. When he got to the portrait guarding it he called the old password wondering if it was still good.

"Forever love" Draco almost cried at the irony. "I guess it was just one way love." The door opened and Draco entered. The room had not changed since the last time he had been there. The queen size four poster bed was in the middle of the room and two chairs were in front of the fire place.

Draco walked up to the bed remembering the night that Evan had been conceived. It had been the night before the final battle. He sat on the end of the bed looking at the spot where he and Harry had loved to cuddle and hold each other after having made love.

Draco wrapped his arms around himself. He laid down in bed and cried over a love that was not meant to be. He made his decision that the next day he would talk to Evan and if his son wanted to; they would leave and he would enroll him at Beaubaxton. He would not accept Evan feeling unwanted. He had worked very hard to give his son a good life and there was no way that he wanted to see such pain in his son's eyes again.
