He found Amanda on the couch asleep just as Dobby had said, so he waddled over to the cot in the corner. Inside there was a baby boy with blonde hair and eyes a lot like his own, "Bradley," he whispered again looking down at his son.

It was starting to kick in, the little boy who was looking up at him with a cheeky childish grin much like his own, was his son, his flesh and blood.

"You know you are pretty cute," Draco told the baby smiling, "well of course you are, you're related to me and nobody that's related to me can be ugly, you're lucky my good looks must be hereditary."

Bradley laughed but he wasn't the only one. Draco spun around as fast as he could, which wasn't very fast; to see Amanda tears all down her face smiling at his joke.

Draco didn't know what to say to her, he was still mad but he understood why she didn't tell him, a child of a gifted mother and father would be rather rare and a lethal weapon in the hands of evil. He only figured that out when he realised how desperate Lucius was to find out where the child was, the only reason he would want to know where it was if he wanted to take it.

Amanda bowed her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"I know you are."

"So you're not mad at me any more?"

"Ohh I'm still mad at you all right, but I'll get over it eventually because I understand why you couldn't tell me."

Amanda smiled and hugged him, causing him to let out a moan of pain.

"Ohh sorry, don't worry I'll fix it, where does it hurt the most?"

"Nah I'm fine," Draco lied.

"Now seriously what is it with guys and playing down injuries?"

"It's not that, but when I eventually get out of here, it'll look a bit suspicious if I'm all healed. Then there'll be no way to prove my dad attacked me."

"Lucius attacked you? I thought it was Death Eaters, that's what it said in the prophet."

"Well if you want to get all technical, technically I was attack be a Death Eater."

"That's not funny."

"I know, but I'm defiantly getting a restrain order against him!"

"Well there goes your inheritance, I thought you wanted Malfoy Manor!"

"It's not my in heritance any more, it is already mine," he pointed to Bradley.

"You're making no sense."

"Malfoy Manor is mine, the youngest generation with kids gets the house."

"You own Malfoy Manor, that's so good!"

"Yeah first thing I'm going to do is kick dad out!"

"That's cool but can I at least heal your ribs they look rather awkward, anyway I'm sure the can tell if any recent injuries occur."

"Okay," Malfoy closed his eyes and lifted up the front of his shirt, not wanting to see his own injury.

His chest felt really cold so after she mended the broken ribs she thought, 'relashio.' which made her hands become really warm like a heater, which heated up Draco's body making him feel better even though he was still in pain.

"Do you want to hold him?" Amanda asked when she saw Draco's eyes glance over at the cot while she was healing his ribs.

"No, I don't want to hurt him."

"You won't hurt him, he's more likely to hurt you because he doesn't know how to control his Healing Hands yet."

Draco looked very worried as Amanda picked up Bradley and walked closer to him, "don't worry he won't hurt you, his powers are only young and not very well developed. The only way his powers could hurt you is if he had an overwhelming emotion, that could cause a few problems."

Draco lent against the wall as Amanda handed him Bradley, who was wrapped in a green blanket. Draco mimicked the way he saw Amanda hold him as to support him properly. Draco smiled suddenly, "he has my eyes," he whispered.

"You know I really did want to tell you, don't you?" Amanda asked.

"Yeah but I glad that I know, I feel nervous though,"

"About looking after Bradley or your dad?"

"Both and you," Draco confessed.

"Why would you be worried about me?" Amanda asked.

"Because my father's not going to be happy about this, I know I'm of age and he has no power over me but you're still underage, he could pull you out of Hogwarts if he wanted to!"

"Why would he?"

"Because he's a prick that is desperate to know about my son, he might think that I confided in you, force you to tell him everything, then come after Bradley."

"I'll be fine, now you should probably put baby Brad back in his cot so we can take you to St. Mungo's so you can get all these wounds cleaned up and report Lucius to the Magical Law Enforcement Officers, so you can get a restraining order against him."

"I don't want to put him down, if I'm not with him how can I protect him?"

Amanda smiled that's how she'd been feeling for the last three months, "Dobby will look after him just fine now, so come on put him down so we can leave." Amanda was secretly beaming, as she was glad that Draco was very attached to Bradley.

Together they walked out to the road where Amanda held out her wand hand, bringing the famous Night bus to there aid. As Stan saw the nasty injuries on the blonde boys body he told the driver to put his foot down, while standing there he realised this boy was Draco Malfoy the boy who went missing after the Death Eater attack at his families mansion. After realising that it didn't take long after that for them to reach St. Mungo's Hospital. Draco was as Stan put it, "man of the hour."

Draco quickly got put onto a bed and was magicked into the nearest ward with a qualified healer. The healer introduced himself to Draco as Healer Samuel Cartwright. The same healer also tried to stop Amanda getting into the room to see her injured boyfriend, "family only," the healer told him.

"She's my cousin," Draco lied so they would let her in.

Amanda came in and whispered into his ear so the healer who was taking photos of and fixing up his back wouldn't hear.

"Your dad's awake."

"What did he say?"

"He said you came home for the weekend and you were ambushed by Death Eaters, which forced you to let them into the house where they tortured him and his son."

"Do they believe him?"

"I don't think so I heard a few of the Aurors talking and they didn't seem to convinced because he has no injuries apart from the knock out potion, which doesn't even hurt. Which is good because it's not considered an injury, because he's awake and fine."

"Good, so I guess they want my story?"

"Yep they're waiting outside."

"Okay I'll talk to them," Draco sighed while Amanda went to the door and let the two Aurors in. One was a tall guy with dark shaggy hair while the other was a much younger female with bubbly pink hair.

"We just have a few questions we have to ask you, alone," he added looking at Amanda and the healer.

"I'll be back when you're done," the healer told him before he left.

The girl though didn't budge, "I'm staying."

"You're not family so you can't stay," the young female Auror told her.

The older man elbowed her, "Tonks," and showed her a piece of paper.

"You're not suppose to lye when asked who your family members are, I know you're not his cousin so can you please get out before I escort you out!" Tonks told her.

"But I was the one who found him and brought him here," Amanda told them.

"Fine you can stay," Tonks finally agreed, she had probably saved her cousins life.

"Okay, so can you please tell us who gave you these injuries and how," the older guy interrogated. Draco told his story only editing it slightly, he removed Bradley and Unforgivable curses from it. After they finished they asked a few questions to Amanda then they left. Though before the healer came back in Amanda asked,

"How does she know were not related?"

"Tonks is my cousin, can you grab her please tell her I want to talk to her."

"Sure I'll be right back."

Sure enough a minute later Amanda returned with Tonks who looked puzzled, "you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, to apologise for anything I or my father has ever said to you," Draco told her sincerely.

"It's fine I don't blame you at all, I blame Lucius completely, he is a bad person and as we just learnt he'll even hurt his own child if he feels like it," she walked over and gave him a light hug being careful not to hurt him, "you look after yourself okay?"

"I always try to," he joked before turning serious, "do you reckon I'll be able to get a restraining order?"

"I'm not sure, legally you should be able to but I'm not so sure as you'll have anywhere where to go."

"But if I did have some where to go, could I get one easily?"

"Very easily, why do you have some where you can stay?"

"Yeah at my place," Amanda responded for him.

Tonks raised her eyebrows, "you have your own place, are you even of age?"

"No I'm sixteen, but my late parents left my their house."

"I'm sorry, I'll go straight to the ministry and try sort this restraining order then."

She turned to leave at the same time Lucius and Narcissa entered the room, "Nymphadora Tonks, have you been trying to meddle with me sons brain again?"

"Get out," Draco whispered.

"I agree with Draco I think you should Nymphadora!" Lucius told her.

"I wasn't talking to her," he told them.

"How dare you," Lucius went to pull out his wand put Tonks put him to it, as he was soon lying on the floor stupefied. The other Auror came running in when he heard Narcissa scream, he took both Lucius and Narcissa away with Tonks.
