Chapter four – Amazement

Draco stood outside the gargoyle that he knew hid the entrance to headmaster's office; he didn't know the password so he waited. As Dumbledore knew pretty much everything he soon came to greet him.

"Hello Mr Malfoy, what can I do for you today?" He asked as they entered his office and the headmaster sat down. "Lemon drop?" He offered, Draco shook his head.

"I need to speak with you about the child Potter is currently taking care of."

"What about Elena?"

"He called her Elena." Albus nodded, "She's mine but I can't keep her, I was so scared and I had no idea what to do but I can' raise her as a Malfoy, I couldn't do that to her, I don't want her to have anything to do with the deatheaters."

"Why did you not just come straight to me instead of leaving her?"

Draco shrugged. "I was afraid that I'd never see her again, but I have to do this and I want Harry to look after her and give her everything that I can't."

"Who is her other father, does he know?"

Draco shook his head. "My father doesn't even know, you see the entire Malfoy family came to visit the manor and we have what I expect you'd call a funny Uncle. He raped me and tried to cast a memory charm on me but that was never his strong point, as soon as I realised I was pregnant I remembered everything, before that it had just been flashes and occasionally dreams."

"Does anyone else know that you were pregnant? I mean surely you didn't give birth without help and to suddenly just have a child, someone should have noticed."

"The night she was found was the night I gave birth, I put silencing charms around my bed and a house elf helped and swore not to tell a soul. As soon as I laid eyes upon her I loved her, please don't think I don't or can't."

"What you did is unforgivable, it was heartless but I think your intentions were in the right place but you went about it the wrong way. I need you to understand that."

"I do Professor." Draco said, his eyes were down, he had suddenly become very interested in his shoes and was unable to meet the headmasters twinkling blue eyes.

"Would you like to see her?" The headmaster side and Draco's head snapped up in amazement, of all the things that he thought would happen when he came forward this was not an opportunity he thought was going to be offered to him.

"I'd love to; do you even need to ask that question?"

Harry was in his chambers feeding Elena when the fire call from the headmaster came. He hadn't left his room in days, with the house elves bringing him everything he and Elena needed there had been no need for it so Harry was glad for the excuse to get out for a bit.

Another part of him was dreading going up there, he was afraid that Dumbledore had discovered the parents or at least one of the parents and Elena would be take away from him. He didn't want to let her go and certainly not to someone who didn't want her.

He dressed her in a cute little body suit that was pale blue with three yellow ducks on the chest. He also wrapped a fluffy pink blanket around her tiny body to protect against the cold of the castle. In his school bag he put a change of clothes, two bottles and nappies just in case, he had no idea how long the meeting with the headmaster would take.

The hallways were deserted and silent as all the students were in class. He knew the password to the headmasters office as he had to come by so frequently. As he entered he saw Albus sitting back in his chair happily sucking at a lemon drop and staring at another with intrigue. The other person Harry could easily identify even with his back facing him, that almost white blonde hair was certainly not a feature that made Draco Malfoy blend in.

"Good morning Professor, you wanted to see me?" Harry said settling himself in a chair next to but at a safe distance from Draco who was looking not at him but at the small bundle of blankets in his arms.

"Yes, I have come to inform you that I have found Elena's mother." Harry looked from Dumbledore to Draco in amazement, unable o believe that even Draco Malfoy would abandon a child.
