Draco's P.O.V

'Will they come here? The Potters I mean. To come after you and me?'

'Probably Hun,' I said, and slowly put my arm around her,' but I am here. They won't be able to get near you.'

It was then that she leaned into me. It was then that I had earned the name dad, even it was not worthy.

She was sitting next to me still, twirling her delicate brown hair around her index finger. I could tell by her face she was thinking about something serious, just by the way her nose creased at the top. Mine used to do that when I was young, when I was so innocent just like her.

'Dad, can I ask you something?'

I knew it was coming, but to be completely honest with myself I knew that I would have to answer her, eventually that is.

'Why do I look like this? I mean, when I wake up in the morning I can see my blond hair and well I look like you dad. But sitting here now with all my charms I look nothing like you, I look more like uncle Blaise than I look like you. Were you ashamed of me, is that why you made me look like this? Like a reject?'

'Oh Serenity my confused little angel, you have so much to learn.' I placed my arm around her once again whilst trying to read her expressions. Dam they had become well hidden, finally her Malfoy advantages were beginning to show, 'and when I tell you, hopefully you will understand why I did it? Why I had to protect you, however badly I conceived the method.'


Flashback

'Ok now hunny, just one more push and it will be ok.'

'I am bloody pushing! I swear to god Draco do not come any where near me again, I am not doing this for any reason. I want a new bloody wardrobe….and a car…..and a hair cut and makeup and…….are you listening to me?'

She was holding on to my hand like a steal vice, and to be honest to Pansy I had stopped listening a long time ago. Right after the mediwitch had given her the pain killers which seemed to turn her into even more of a psycho bitch I think. Her pure porcelain face had turned bright red from all the effort and I knew it was all nearly over. Soon I would meet whoever I had helped create, and hopefully it would be a strapping strong boy.

'Ok now hunny, just one more push and it'll be all over. Now on the count of three……one…….two……three!'

She pushed and I grimaced as she broke the last intact bone in my hand. Then I heard it finally. I scream coming from the bottom of the bed, and finally Pansy seemed to have stopped destroying my fingers.

'Mr and Mrs Malfoy, I do believe there I someone here that would like to meet you both.'

The mediwitch strolled over to us around the bed, carrying a sleeping bundle within a thick white blanket. She placed her into Pansy's arms, and she started cueing for some god known reason. All I could see was a tiny little hand with its thumb being sucked very firmly by a hidden mouth. It had small dimples where the knuckles should have been, and instantly I knew I had not seen anything so helpless.

'Draco sweetie…..why don't you come and meet you little princess?'

I froze, and to be honest for a small moment I actually wondered why Pansy was calling my son and heir a 'princess'.

It was then that I saw the short little tufts of blonde hair coming from a miniscule little scalp. With her eyelashes curling upwards so elegantly and the trade mark grey eyes stared out at me from underneath. I felt and excruciating pain at that precise moment though, I looked down at my tattooed forearm almost as if it were a forgotten reflex. I rolled back my sleeve, and there it was almost as vivid as the day the bastard had put it on my arm.

'Draco, what's wrong?'

I turned around towards Pansy…my Pansy…and I showed her my arm and she instantly understood. Then she began to cry, and I scooped my beloved princess out of her arms. Everything that we had gained in that one instant had been taken away just because of my dam arm hurting again. There was Pansy on the bed crying her dam gorgeous orbs out, and I could do nothing. The mother of my angel, the person who gave life into my stone cold heart deep within my way back when I was young and innocent, and my best friend who helped me do everything and anything. The pansy who laughed along with me when I set fire to Snapes cloak in potions and then smile innocently when he confronted me. The pansy who helped me get to the hospital wing when I had been stunned once again by the dam 'light side' and was close to seeing the bloody light first hand. My pansy, and there she was crying her eyes out. It was then that I knew I could never let anyone get to my angel….and god help me I knew you had to come before Pansy. I was quite shocked at how quickly the idea came into my head if I am completely truthful. I took out my wand, and I pointed it towards you. Just a simple little concealing charm and of course a little memory modifier for Pansy who was sitting lost on the cold thin mattress. I made her beautiful blonde hair brown, and I hid her devastating eyes underneath dull green. She was no longer my image, but of my best friend Blaise. I then got onto Pansy, and god help me, I made it into her subconscious that she had an affair. I knew it would destroy us, but so cruelly all I could think of was protecting my angel….my serenity. She looked up at me when I had finished, and she just had a sort of clouded expression in her eyes, and then she was fine. I had changed her life, and I had hidden my daughter under a mask. All of this was to protect, yet I could feel the scar on my arm pulsing even more. I placed the precious bundle into pansy's arms and raised my wand.

'Pans…..can you look after the baby for a minute Hun. I need to go and spread the news! We can not possibly have a Malfoy with out any pomp I am sure.'

She looked up at me her orbs still clouded with fog blocking her memories….but then she changed her grimace and started to sing to the baby once again.

'And I was wondering….what do you think about the name Serenity?'

I walked out of the hospital suite and instantly apparated to the shrieking shack. There was the usual group surrounding the retched soul in the centre. I would once again serve and grovel to gain safety and peace for my family. And of course for the little joy…which I had hidden away so safely. So horridly…so regretfully.

End of Flashback

Her face seemed to be set for almost eternity. She let go of the strands of hair she had been playing with, and got out her wand.

'You did all of that to protect me. You even changed mother, so that she would turn against me and of course reject you. The reason why she still could never look at me with out almost sorrow revealing itself to me. You did it to protect me. Yet……through all of that I have seen and felt…you protected me from a much worse fate. I would have been shown to Lord Voldermort….as a servant of a loyal friend….a young girl for the taking. You rescued me from that, from being nothing more than his glorified whore. You protected me like any father would…..even if the word was never used. That I am forever regretful of'

I looked down at her, and for an instant I saw the Malfoy shinning through within her masked eyes. Almost a glint of that intelligence and insight mixed with slyness hidden in the depths, just like my own windows used to be.

She held me for the first time since she was small enough to sit on my knee when we could be together without Pansy watching like a hawk. When the charms began to wear off…and through a dark period I nearly lost everything.

'You are an evil man Mr Malfoy…but you are a cunning father.'

She walked away from me to the far side of the cave, and it was then that I saw it. I streak of blonde, cursing through the sea of boring brown. It almost raised a smile.
