PLAYING HAPPY FAMILIES
Chapter Two
Draco woke early the next morning, he made his way downstairs and started cooking breakfast. A few minutes later Lilijana came downstairs.
"Marry Christmas, Daddy" she said, hugging him,
"Merry Christmas, Princess" he replied, Lilijana turned to the Christmas tree and started unwrapping her presents.
"I love all of my presents, especially the broom, do you think Headmistress McGonagall will let me have it at school?"
"Maybe next year" Draco replied, Lilijana raced outside and mounted her broom,
"Watch me Daddy" she yelled, Draco watched her fly.
After they ate Christmas dinner, Lily and Draco sat in the living room, Lily was playing with her new toys and Draco was just staring into the fire thinking about what would happen at the reunion, would he want someone else in Lily's life? The reunion was scheduled for the twenty-ninth of December, the same day as Lily's birthday, or what he thought was Lily's birthday, there had been no Birth Certificate in the Hall of Records at the ministry, so he had named that day her birthday, the day he had found her on his door step.
"Daddy?" Lily asked, Draco looked up into her dark brown eyes,
"Yes, Princess?" he asked,
"Tell me about Mummy?" she asked, Draco bit his lip, he had been waiting for this day, the day when he would have to tell her that he did not know who her Mother was, for the past ten years he had been telling her different stories about why her mother was not around, but today, was the day he would have to tell her the truth. He sighed again and picked her up,
"Well, munchkin, Daddy has a confession" he started, "You remember when I told you that Mummy moved to Australia?" Lily nodded, "That is not exactly true."
"What do you mean Daddy? You didn't lie did you?" she asked, her eyes wide,
"I'm sorry munchkin, I wanted to tell you when you were old enough to understand"
"I'm old enough now, I'm ten, I'll be eleven next week"
"I know sweetie, your Mum, as far as I know is still in London, but I do not know who she is. You see when you were born, Mummy left you on my doorstep to take care of you, she did not tell me who she was and I have raised you ever since" Draco explained,
"So, So I'm not yours?" Lily was close to tears,
"Of course you are mine, I took you to Uncle Blaise for a DNA spell and that confirmed that you are indeed my daughter, we just cannot tell who your Mummy is" Draco rushed the tears from Lily's cheeks.
"So Mummy doesn't love me?" Lily whispered,
"I'm sure Mummy loves you baby, she just couldn't take care of you, we were both young, she obviously thought you were better off with me" Draco hugged the little girl close to him. "Alright poppet, I think it is time for bed, you know what next week is right?" he asked
"My birthday!" she yelled, Draco smiled,
"That's right, and what are you doing for your birthday?"
"Visiting Nanny!" Draco nodded,
"That's right, now get some sleep." He tucked her in and turned off the light, returning to the living room to tidy up, a few moments later he heard a tapping on the window, Draco looked up and saw a black owl desperately trying to get in, he opened the window and the owl dropped an envelope in front of him before taking off out the window again. Draco picked it up and looked at the Handwriting, he turned it over and saw the Hogwart's Crest,
Dear Mr. Malfoy,
As you would already know, your ten year reunion is next week, as you were Head Boy of your year, we ask that you arrive one day early with the Head Girl. As you will be early you will stay in your old dormitory and are free to visit Hogsmeade until the time of the reunion which is at 7pm sharp. I cannot tell you in this letter the need for you to be here one day early until the day of your arrival. Please find a list of suitable dress for the reunion, please remember that it is a masked ball.
Yours Sincerely,
Hermione J Granger
Deputy Headmistress
Draco scanned the list of suitable attire,
Dress Robes (Black)
Muggle Suit (Black)
Costume of your choice.
"Great" Draco muttered, "Now I have to ask Mother, to take Lily one day early"
"What's that dear?" a voice behind him asked, Draco jumped,
"Mother, you scared me to death" Draco exclaimed,
"sorry dear, now about me taking Lily a day earlier, I do not mind taking her, you know that" Narcissa said,
"Mum, can I tell you something?" Draco asked sitting in his leather recliner, Narcissa nodded and sat on the lounge,
"Of course, darling" she replied,
"On the night of the reunion, Lily's mum has asked to meet me, I'm finally going to know who the mother of my child is" he started
"That's wonderful, I'm sure you have been dying to know who her mum is, I know Lily is" Narcissa replied,
"I know Mum, but I'm just not sure that I want anyone else in our lives, I mean she's grown up this far with out her Mum and I think I have done a damn good job"
"you have, Draco, but Lily needs her Mum, there are only so many things I can do, I am not as young as I once was, and I know as a female myself that when the time comes Lily would much rather have a mother to tell about boyfriends then tell her over protective Father" Narcissa said, Draco studied his hands,
"I can't even begin to guess who her mother is" Draco admitted,
"Now, darling, I want to run an idea by you, you have been so stressed lately what with the family business and Lily, so I took the liberty of booking a holiday for you in the New Year"
"What? I can't go on Holiday's, I have the reunion on Monday, I'm leaving for Hogwart's on Sunday. It's far to much time off from the business"
"Oh tish tosh" Narcissa said, "I am more than capable of running the business"
"What about Lily?"
"She can stay with me, I'm sure Minnie wouldn't mind playing with her for a few hours" Draco sighed feeling defeated,
"Fime, where am I going?" he asked,
"Australia" she said simply.
"Good night, Mother" Draco said standing, he walked slowly up to his room and got ready for bed. His mind full of ideas on who Lily's mother was.
There you go, the second chapter is up. Probably not very good but I am working on it so just bear with me.
