Lost and Found
Part V
Summertime
(2 months later)
Narcissa Malfoy
He was having an alright summer. Most of his problems had stayed where they belonged, out of the way. His mother had fallen ill over the first few weeks and his father was still in prison.
So, you see, he might have gotten rid of a few things but he came home to many more. Sure his mother was sick but they had had no visitors no guests. The Manor was rather boring this summer.
"Draco darling!"
"Coming Mother," it was said with such scorn that he felt guilty for having answered her in such a way.
He quickly entered her bedroom and came towards her. "What do you need?"
"Oh well Draco I was wondering if you would head out to Diagon Alley for me?" her soft eyes pleaded with him and he felt it was hard to refuse.
"Sure thing what do you need?"
Ten minutes later he left the room, note in hand, to go change.
Narcissa sat in her massive bed and grabbed her wand. In one silent flick a silvery peacock floated to the window and out onto the grounds where the men sat hidden.
"I have sent him to Diagon Alley to do some shopping. Keep him safe."
Draco:
He was walking down the street just wasting time. Everything seemed normal in the wizarding world. Well that was except for the feeling someone was following him.
But he had checked several times and had seen no one. During one of these little checks he had run right into someone. He snapped his head around to see who he had knocked to the ground.
"God Granger watch where you are going!"
"Oh Malfoy its just you I thought it was someone who actually mattered," she sneered worthy of any Malfoy.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch Granger." He stood there arms crossed looking at her menacingly as if he was waiting for her to do something.
"Could you help me off the ground, Malfoy? It's kind of hard to do by myself." Now his eyes screamed disbelief.
Surprising enough he offered her a hand, after looking around to make sure no one he knew was around. Hermione did take it with absolute enthusiasm. When she was finally back on her feet she started to dust her self off, letting her coat open.
It was a pretty windy day and unusually chilly for an August afternoon so most people had jackets and coats. Unlike everyone though Hermione's stomach bulged out tight under her dark green shirt. He raised an eyebrow and cocked his head slightly.
"Putting on some weight Granger? No wonder you couldn't get off the ground."
"Yes well thank you Malfoy." Then under her breath she said, "Not now Scorpi!"
"You really shouldn't mutter to yourself Granger it's unbecoming."
"Well first of all I'm not talking to myself and second I cannot help when my son decides it is time to start kicking me."
For a moment he stood there dumbfounded and once he even opened his mouth. Of course he had quickly snapped it shut only seconds later. "Your pregnant?"
"No I just have a growth inside my gut that likes to kick me all the time! Boys are so stupid!" at this however Scorpius gave her another jab making her wince in discomfort. Then she said, "Goodness if your not a Slytherin I'll die of surprise!"
"Mudbloods can't get in Slytherin. Really you should know that by now Granger."
"Your right Malfoy, but halfbloods can."
"Halfblood?"
"Yes Malfoy he is a halfblood. Now do you have anything left to say or can I go on?"
Draco was getting a bit fed up with this little game. "If your brat is a halfblood whose its father?"
"I'm not telling you that besides why do you care?" he just stared at her. "Fine I'll tell you this, Scorpius's father is a Slytherin and his blood is just as pure as yours. 'Bye Malfoy."
Now he was really struck dumb. He had no comeback for that one, no way in hell. Really the fact that Hermione was pregnant was one thing but to have the father be a pureblood Slytherin? It was just to much for him.
Hermione:
Hermione rubbed her stomach and giggled. She knew she had freaked Draco out and the thought was hilarious. Though the way she had told him had been a bit off she thought it was good he knew at least part of it.
Another thing that made her smile was the way Scorpius had started kicking. She had read how unborn children can tell when their fathers were present. She was sure that was why he had started kicking.
Another Malfoy trait, trying to show off for daddy. It was quite cute. Who knew a Malfoy could be cute? Hermione sighed happily as she entered the baby store just off the main street.
So far she had only bought green things for the baby. She didn't mind the other colors she just thought they would look best on her little Slytherin-to-be. How ironic it would be if he did turn out in a different house though.
Hermione walked around the little shop and immediately fell in love with a little cradle. It was sweet and simple and the richest dark color of wood. It came with different types of canopies and bedding. But Hermione's favorite thing about it was the little silver plate that could be engraved.
She instantly purchased the bed and all of the green and silver accessories she could afford. The cashier shrunk down the cradle and its box so that it was no larger than a ring box. She easily slipped in her pocket and hurried towards the Leaky Cauldron.
Just outside the pub she was able to call a cab and was once again on her way home. She was happy with her purchases since she had managed to get her school supplies today. And although she couldn't get him out of her mind Draco was comforting to her somewhat.
Just the next day:
Hermione woke up moody. The day just had not started well and to think she hadn't even got out of bed. Her stomach stung for a second when she sat up but that had gone away quickly. Now she had to go to the bathroom.
She pushed herself up on her feet and started to walk towards her bedroom door when it happened. Water gushed out from her body, soaking the floor. Hermione screamed in fright causing her parents to come running.
They were rushed at best as they hurried into the emergency room. The nurses and doctors took immediate action bring out a wheelchair and hurrying her off to the delivery room. Hermione screamed out clutching her mother's hand.
By now her contractions were devastating. Within the hour she began to crown and still she screamed. As she pushed she yelled out.
"Draco!"
Draco:
"Draco!" someone screamed his name in the back of his head.
He had been sitting on the couch reading but was now on the floor. He couldn't place the voice when it was that high.
It was filled with agony, it was a plea. That voice just sounded so familiar.
Again and again it screamed for him. A headache over took him that was so powerful he could barely move. He lay upon the floor holding his pounding head.
Finally the screaming stopped and his headache dulled. Draco was able to move back to the couch, rubbing his temples. He thought things over trying to figure out what had happened. Something had changed, it felt different.
But he could not figure it out. His life just seemed to have changed dramatically and he didn't know why. And Hermione's tortured screams still rung in his ears though he could not place them.
After about thirty minutes a sudden pain shot through hi thigh. It burned and stung making Draco press his fingers to it. Something felt wet beneath his fingers though nothing was on them.
Jumping from the couch he pulled down his trousers and hiked up his boxers. Easily visible underneath the little trickle of blood were three shiny black letters.
S. D. M.
Hermione:
She called for Draco over and over while she was pushing. Maybe it was because of the magic coursing through her veins but the baby was coming quickly. Everything was coming much to fast to be normal.
In one final push the doctor lifted up the little baby so she could see him. As soon as the nurse had cleared everything out of his mouth he screamed, loudly. The doctor tied up the umbilical cord and handed him over to her.
He was slimy and nasty but that didn't stop her. She rubbed his little fingers and kissed his forehead. The doctor smiled at her left her be for a moment. But within three minutes he took the still screaming baby and left the room.
Hermione filled out the birth certificate she was given with all of the information she could. As soon as the baby was back kin her arms and she whispered her name the long awaited pain shot through her leg.
She grabbed a nearby tissue and wiped up the little blood. Hermione smiled down at the letters engraved upon her white creamy skin. S.D.M. Scorpius Draco Malfoy. Then she looked back at her newborn and handed him to her mother.
It was obvious that they would dote on him every chance they got and that was just fine by her. Then it struck her that Draco had also been branded with Scorpi's initials. She wondered how he had taken that.
Being raised in the wizarding world he probably knew everything about the bonding spell. That however would work more towards her advantage hopefully.
Finally she began to grow tired and had her parents go get the nurse. She didn't really want to be separated from him but she had no choice in the matter. Instead of fussing Hermione went to work looking over her son.
When she got to his feet she was overcome with joy at the sight of the three-toed crow's foot. It was black and stood out against his skin, exactly like hers and Draco's. She knew that the mark meant he was going to be a wizard, and not a squib which would have been a disaster.
When the nurse finally came and took him away Hermione drifted off to a dreamless sleep with a smile painted to her face. He had slept almost all of the time so she had not seen his eyes though she was sure they would be gray. And his hair was very thin and damp so the color was not for sure either.
But Hermione just had that motherly knowledge that he would be the spitting image of Draco.
A/N Wow that was longer than I thought it would be considering I thought this one was barely going to break 1,000 words not near 2! I really like it a whole lot and incase you didn't notice I made Narcissa much nicer but I felt like I had to. I'll add my little disclaimer down here because it would be stupid to put it on top.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in this story besides for the doctors nurses etc. etc. I did however create the 'Bonding Charm' which will be explained more in Draco's next part! The crow's foot on Scorpi's foot is suppose to look like the picture in James Rollins 'Black Order' on page 14.
