Chapter 1
Draco Malfoy was never one to enjoy birthdays. However, today, on his twenty-seventh birthday, he was ecstatic about the mail he'd received when Wonky, his primary house-elf appeared suddenly at the side of his desk, surrounded by a cloud of green smoke.
"Here you go sir. I believe the top one is from Lord Potter," said the elf.
"Thank you Wonky. Now, would you mind getting everything ready for tonight, for my guests?" Draco asked.
"My pleasure sir." And with that the elf left, leaving behind another green cloud of smoke.
Draco looked at the top envelope. It was indeed from Harry, now known as Lord Potter because of his defeat of the Dark Lord Voldemort...a defeat that Draco also shared in. Draco opened up the embossed envelope and took out the folded piece of parchment from inside. Unfolding it, he read the script inside:
Happy Birthday Draco!
I can't wait to come up there and party with everyone tonight!
It's gonna be great!
Later,
Harry
Draco laughed aloud after reading Harry's letter. After all, he was right, there was going to be one hell of a party tonight. Putting Harry's letter down on the desk beside him, he opened up the next letter and read the quickly jotted message:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
See you tonight
Ron
Oh well, Draco thought, he never really was that talkative towards me anyway.
The third letter in the stack caught his eye the most. It was placed in a brightly coloured envelope. Opening it and reading the fine flowing script, he knew at once who had written this birthday wish.
"Hermione...," he muttered.
He had always felt something towards her but was always afraid to ask or try something because of their history. Besides, she was with Ron, wasn't she?
After finishing reading her birthday wish he put aside the letter with the rest from his friends and looked down to notice one final letter with his name printed boldly on the front of the envelope.
"I wonder who this could be from," he wondered.
Opening it, he read the message inside:
Dear Mr Draco Malfoy,
My name is Thomas Hart. I do not expect you to know who I am, obviously, but I am writing to you to discuss something very important that you should probably know. First, I will tell you a brief history of myself.
All my life I grew up with my mother, who has just recently passed away. However, before her untimely end, she told me a secret she has kept about my father, who until just recently, I had known nothing about. She told me he had been a very powerful man, both in societal status and in magic. She also told me that he was also married at the same time when she conceived. As you can probably assume, your father, Lucius Malfoy, is also my father.
WIth that being said, I would like to arrange a meeting so we can finally introduce ourselves and discuss things. Meet me at The Three Broomsticks tomorrow at noon. I'll find you there.
Draco dropped the letter on his desk, his face a mask of complete surprise. Could his father, the only man he's ever trusted, have messed around with another woman? Could he really have a brother?
A/N: I know this is a short chapter, but I'm hoping to make things quickly speed up to make this story nice and solid throughout its entirety, so please bear with me. Other than that, please review and offer suggestions, as it might make this story a little more interesting. Who knows, maybe I'll use an idea and give ya props for it?
