Chapter 15: Azkaban

Dragon had been sitting in Azkaban for five hours already, bored out of his mind. 'Where are those dementors?' Dragon thought pacing his cell, when a cuddly looking cat walked by, 'oh shit! That's no cat! That's a pyrochisiamese!' Before he could finish his thought, his skin started to burn. These were no ordinary cats, these cause muggles to self-combust. Luckily it only left third degree burns on wizards. Dragon started to scream in pain, then it stopped, the wounds healed, and he was fine. "Dragon Malfoy you have visitors." One of the guards said, walking up to the cell.

"Visitors? Sire my family hates me, no on would visit me." Dragon explained.

"Did I say visitors? I meant cellmates, courtesy of Draco and Harry Potter-Malfoy."

"Who are you?" Dragon asked his first visitor.

"Your ten times great grandfather Salazar Slytherin. I was brought to whip some sense into you. Oh, and your parents are re-married to each other so your sabotage plan was a complete failure. Anyways, I enjoyed being dead, but thanks to you I have to wait until you change your attitude, I'm sure your grandfather and I can do that easily. Isn't that right Lucius?" Salazar said, turning his head as Lucius Malfoy walked in.

"No way! How could you be back?"

"Our only heirs could bring us back, and since your father agreed here I am." Lucius explained.

"But I'm your heir, I would have had to agree not Draco."

"See that's the loop hold, you are considered Draco's heir not mine in the spell. Draco bringing me back was able to let Salazar grab onto my spirit, since we're form the same family, and come back with me. If it was Harry bringing James back, Godric Gryffindor would have been able to come back."

"Wait, he's the heir to Godric Gryffindor also? Oh that's it! Crucio!" Dragon hell to the floor in pain from the craticus curse and from the burns as the cat had come back. This went on for days, by the third one Dragon was up at night crying for his parents.

"Merlin please, I swear please, let me go home. I promise I'll stop please, I'm so sorry." Dragon whispered on the fourth night in bed. It broke Lucius' heart to hear Dragons please, but he pushed it as well as he could to the back of his mind.

"Dear boy, do you really think Merlin, let alone your family and friends, believe you? You don't have a cut or bruise on you, they'll never believe you were tortured."

"I keep healing due to that cat, it's not my fault, I swear I'm sorry please believe me. I want my father, please I want Draco." Lucuis could take it no longer and walked out.

"Salazar, I think it's time to get Draco. He wouldn't have asked for my son it he didn't meant it. If he just wanted to get out, he would have asked for Harry." Lucius explained while Salazar walked out of the cell and over to the fireplace to Floo Draco. About an hour later Draco arrived.

"Hello Father, Mr. Slytherin, thank you for helping my husband and I to teach Dragon a lesson, but if you'll excuse us I'd like to talk to him on my own." Draco said, entering the cell and taking a button off of Dragon's Azkaban outfit. "Here, put this in that case." Draco handed the button to Lucius.

"What was that?" Dragon asked, staring at Draco.

"It's a mechanism that allows the Pyrochisiamese to know that you are it's target, not the visitors you might have. So you wanted to talk?"

"I'm sorry for please let me come home. I swear I'll change I swear please, I'll change please let me come home." Dragon begged.

"Dragon begging, this is a first. Now, let's talk about this like adults, why should we let you come back three days into your sentence?" Draco asked, conjuring a chair.

"I'm sorry for lieing, I really am, and I'm sorry for how I acted but I killed someone and everyone kept saying I did all these things when I didn't so I figured why not do them if people expect that from me. The worst thing that could happen already did so how could it get worse?"

"Dragon the worst that that could have happened was you'd end up dead. Your dad, Alyssa, and I would be distraught if something happened to you, especially after your brother and sister, and Alyssa needs her Dra right now, she needs you to protect her when she gets older. I know you feel bad that Kelly died, but you did what had to be done to save the wizarding world and their next savior. Your dad went through hell and back before he defeated Voldemort. He was almost to the point of locking himself in a room and never coming out because all his friends kept dieing. You saved someone form living a life like that. You should have told one of us about this though Dragon. The press will always make stories up, you deal with the worst of them, laugh off the ridiculous ones, and enjoy the true ones. You should look at the media this way, if they are wasting their time writing about you, they must really be jealous of the lifestyle you're living and how you can do things they can't. However, you never said anything about why you lied to your dad about me, and why you wanted to split us up in the first place." Draco now understood his son a little more.

"Cause most of the stuff they say about me had mostly to do with the fact that I had two fathers. I thought that if I split you up it would all stop, but it didn't and it just made you two, well you were worse parents apart than you were together, even Oliver and Harry weren't the best parents.

"So you thought that after Harry and I got remarried and you had four fathers that that would stop the press?" Draco asked, a confused look on his face.

"I never thought about that. I'm sorry father, I really am. I swear I'll change, and it will be more than noticeable, it will be something that will make you and dad proud." Draco pulled Dragon into a hug and kissed him on the head.

"I think you've learned your lesson, let's go to Hogwarts." Draco took Dragon's hand and walked him to the fireplace. Dragon Floo'd back to Hogwarts followed by Draco. Once they were back Dragon turned to Draco.

"Where's dad? I owe him an apology." Draco's face lit up. 'Dragon apologizing on his own? Hell must have frozen over.'

"He's in the same classroom as last year, teaching but I'm sure he won't mind you going in quietly and wait in his office, you can't go back to class until Harry approves it."

"I'm petrified." Dragon whispered.

"You'll do fine, just remember you have to give everyone time to adjust. You have friends from Ireland and America to talk to if you need them, and Chastity is more than willing to help you too. I've got to go teach my next class. I love you."

"Love you too." Dragon hugged Draco and went to find Harry. Dragon walked into Harry's class as quietly as he could, though there were a few stares and whispers, but overall the seventh year class seemed either not to notice, or were busy studying for N.E.W.T.S. Harry looke dup from his desk and his mouth dropped for a second before Dragon gave a half smile, and nodded towards Harry's office before walking in.

"Professor Potter, I thought Dragon Malfoy was in Azkaban for murder?" Farah Behr asked, raising her hand.

"Miss Behr, you couldn't be father form the truth, plus a students personal life, no matter what their last name maybe, is none of your business. If you want to know where and why he was wherever he was, then my suggestion is to ask him instead of believing second hand material. "At the end of class, Harry went to his office, upon entering he noticed Dragon sitting in the chair facing Harry's desk holding Alyssa. "Dragon I'm guessing you talked to Draco and that's why you're here."

"Dad, I'm sorry for how I acted. I'm sorry for putting you in the position I did, it wasn't fair to you, Oliver, or father. I'm sorry that I've been a terrible role model for Alyssa, and that I lied about everything. I'm sorry about the twins, Melissa, and Kelly. Oh Merlin, I'm sorry about Kelly. I didn't mean to kill her, I didn't want to be a murderer, now Alyssa has something to hate about me, something for my parents and grandparents to be ashamed of, I'm sorry." Dragon said, tears going down his cheeks, Alyssa clutched tightly to him.

"Dra ad?" Dragon and Harry looked at Alyssa.

"Did she just say her first sentence?" Harry asked a little shocked.

"I think so." Dragon looked at Alyssa. "Say that again Alyssa, please."

"Dra ad?"

"Dragon, I think she was asking if you were sad. Gosh, she'll be walking in no time. Well, are you going to answer her? Compliment her? Go on she's waiting for her big brother."

"Yeah Alyssa, but it's ok you cheered me up okay? I'm going through a hard time, but I'll be okay." Dragon kissed Alyssa and put her in her playpen.

"Dragon, about Kelly and Melissa and everything else, you can't beat yourself up over that. Melissa's fine, you aren't a murderer far from it, you're a savior and Alyssa has every right to be proud of that. Your grandparents, father, and I have never been ashamed of you until you started acting like a prat. The twins' death wasn't your fault, it was a trap, and we all fell for it. You can't blame yourself, you can't live in the past because you'll miss your future. The ministry wanted to try you for being a very powerful wizard, being able to do spells like that at your age is extraordinary. The ministry has a thing about powerful wizards, ever since Fudge a lot of ministry members have been power hungry, Michael Corner included, that's why we were so happy that Remus made Minister of Magic. Dragon you don't' know it now, but one day you'll change the wizarding world, it's in your blood and name. The Potters and Malfoys have always done revolutionary things, some good, some bad but either way revolutionary, and I can't wait to see what you do. Now, I believe you have homework to catch up on, I'll inform Dumbledore of your re-admittance and your classes will start tomorrow."

"Dad, can I be resorted? Slytherin might treat me like a prince, but the girls just sort of line up and I don't want to get into anymore trouble. I mean look at father and you, it seems like every time you two get together one of you ends up pregnant. I'm way to young to have my own Alyssa, plus Chastity didn't just Melissa a lesson, she taught me one also. She taught me that you can be sexy and wanted, without living up to the stereotype image. Basically, you don't have to have sex to be sexy. So can I be resorted?" Dragon asked, picking up a pile of papers with his assignment to do list on top.

"Sure, I'll talk to Albus about it. Do you know what house you'd like to go into?" Harry was shocked at Dragon's attitude change.

"I can try out Gryffindor, I mean from what you've said about Gryffindor, it sounds like it's a good place to start.

"Okay, well why don't you go start your work in the library then, lunch should be soon. If you want to put your stuff away when you finish, I suggest putting it all in one place, Draco and mines office is always open, and our password to the room is honeyduked. Just a heads up there's a rumor going around that you were in Azkaban for murdering a hippogriff and a ferret. We've been telling everyone to ask you." Harry kissed Dragon on the top of the head.

"Do you want me to take Alyssa until classes are over? I mean what trouble could she possibly get into in the library?"

"If you want, it would be a big help, but make sure you get your work done. I'll see you at lunch okay?"

"Okay, come on Alyssa, let's go see Madame Pince about some books." Dragon picked up Alyssa and walked towards the library.

"Dragon can we talk?" One of the Ravenclaw fifth years said, walking up to him.

"Um, if you can follow and talk at the same time." Dragon said, re-adjusting Alyssa. The Ravenclaw took the papers out of his other hand and carried them for him. "Thanks."

"You're welcome. Whose the little one?"

"This is my sister Alyssa. Alyssa this is Shannon Gray. We met over the summer." Alyssa grabbed a hold of Dragon tighter.

"Dra my! Dra my!" Alyssa said, blowing a raspberry.

"How old is she?" Shannon asked.

"Truthfully seven months old, but we figured she's going to end up being really smart. She can already tell the difference between Professor Malfoy, Professor Potter, and me. So what did you want to talk about?"

"Well, um, I think I might be pregnant and if I am it could possibly be yours."

"Excuse me? No, that's impossible, we did it once three months ago, we used protection! Why don't you go get a pregnancy test, and while you're there a paternity one also. I'm not the father of that child, I can't be."

"Mr. Malfoy! This is a library, not a courtroom please keep the yelling match down before I inform your head of house." Madame Pince said, walking over towards the table.

"Well then go inform my father. He should hear this anyway. Go on, you were all for getting me in trouble two seconds ago. Tell him I have a huge problem, and to come as soon as class is out. You stay." He said, turning towards Shannon. "You said probably, how many guys did you sleep with, seeming you can't make yourself pregnant?" Dragon asked as Madame Pince went to get Draco.

"Well three, you a guy on vacation, and my boyfriend. Actually my boyfriend is quite new so it's not like I cheated on him or anything. What will you do if it is yours?" Shannon asked a little frightened.

"Well if it is mine, I'll pay child support. However, if it leaks out I'll deny it all. It will obviously not be my heir or the family heir." Dragon said.

"Mr. Malfoy, your parents are busy, but I did happen to run into your grandfather." Madame Pince said walking up to them.

"Grandpa James is at Hogwarts?" Dragon asked confused, knowing James should have been at work.

"How little you remember Dragon, of course James isn't here, but as I am binded to my son, I sort of get to roam the corridors of Hogwarts until he unbinds us. So what is the 'huge' problem this time? I'm sure we can take care of-hello who are you?" Lucius asked turning towards Shannon.

"This could possibly, point thirty-three percent chance here, be the mother of my unborn child, except that it's not mine for we only slept together once and used protection, and she'd be three months pregnant which would have been obvious two or even one month ago." By this time Shannon was crying, it was one thing to deal with telling Dragon, it was another rdealing with his reaction and the infamous Lucius Malfoy.

"Dragon calm down, look let's all go to Madame Pomfrey, it will take ten minutes to do the pregnancy test, and a good five to six for the paternity test. I should know Draco had to order a few of them in his Hogwarts days. He just couldn't keep his pants on even before he was gay."

"Yes I know, I don't really want to think about him having sex."

"You might not, but Shannon might be thinking differently. Plus, she might need someone to talk to about how she'll break the news to her parents, boyfriend, baby's father, the headmaster, and her head of house. Trust me, she'll be more than grateful to know Draco's been through it all with Pansy and her temp de temp rendez vous. He'll be more than willing to help her."

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy. I'm going to need as much help as I can get."

"Well here's your first bit of it, stop opening your legs to everyone that has a dick, and you wont' have this problem. Seriously." Dragon retorted, sending Shannon into another crying fit.
