Lost and Found

Part VI

Bonded

Draco:

Draco riffled through book after book looking for the meaning of the letters on his leg. He had heard about them before though he was not sure where. He did know it had something to do with the symbol on his foot.

But after three rows of books Draco realized that if there was any book in this library about this type of mark it would probably be in the smallest section. Narcissa's novels and books were in the far corner of the expansive room.

There was a reason those books had been shoved out of the way. His mother had an obsession with romances and the like. She also had a nice little section on babies. Which laid the foundation for the Malfoy's marital problem.

Narcissa had wanted a reasonable amount of children while Lucius had only wanted his heir. That was where he had fell into the mix of things.

Draco knew his mother loved him but he had always felt resented because he had to be a boy. Maybe she thought that if he had been a girl she would have had the chance to have more children. Sure he had wanted siblings but he also knew he had a sharing problem.

He shook his head and looked at the shelves before him. Those were not his problems and he had his own to care about. A large book caught his eye and he thought it would be a fine place to start.

For a moment he flicked through the pages and found the symbol. Maybe my luck is going to turn around. It seemed to tale forever to locate the right page he needed. But when he found it he was far from happy.

The top of the page read 'The Bonding Charm'. Draco was perplexed for a moment but his questions were soon answered.

Bonding-

When a child is born to two magical parents the parents of said offspring are 'marked'. In this marking the initials of the child is seared into the flesh.

Then the three are connected by an ancient spell that will act as a monitor for each of the participating. When one is upset or in pain it will alert those others.

Parents will be more in tune with the spell while the children will lose it at the age of seventeen or when there first child is born.

Should a magical child be born from nonmagical parents the spell will go to them as any other but the parents will not be marked. All children born under the spell will be marked with a 'crow's foot' shaped mark on the heel of the right foot.

Only wizards and witches can see this mark. In this way children may be deemed 'magical,' 'nonmagical,' and 'squib.'

See bottom of page for full descriptions.

Draco close the book. He sat on the floor starring into space. Though the book had been a bit vague on the subject, Draco knew it was what he was looking for.

So that was what the letters were, initials. He ran a hand through his hair and closed his eyes. But they were not just any initials but those of his kid. Draco racked his brain, trying to decide which of the girls he had been with were pregnant.

Counting back the months there showed the flaw in this plan. Conception of the child fell within winter of the past year, the part he could not remember.

Great! This is just great!

Using a different plan he began thinking of the girls that just were pregnant. Since nearly no one at Hogwarts ever got knocked up it should have been rather easy. But he couldn't think straight.

The only person he kept coming back to was Hermione Granger. She had looked ready to pop just the day before so it was very likely she had had her baby today. But he had never slept with her!

He would remember such a degrading thing, wouldn't he? Then again this would explain everything that had happened over the last couple months. The things he forgot, the meaning of the fight, an the note!

Jumping off the floor Draco bolted out of the library. He climbed the stairs two at a time. Draco went straight into his bedroom and starting digging through his trunk. Finally he found the folded slip of parchment.

He reread the little note signed with her love. It all was starting to make sense. Every piece of the puzzle was falling into place. Still there was the question of why he had lost the memories in the first place.

Draco had a sure feeling of his theory though he could not say whether it was good or bad. This had to be it, the secret she had wanted to share with him. God, what have I done?

Sure or not he still picked his brain trying to find a flaw. This was not something he was going to take straight, he needed proof. 'Scorpius's father is a Slytherin and his blood is just as pure as yours,' who else could that be?

As he recalled the memory of yesterday afternoon something struck him like a rock. Scorpius! That was the name he had always liked but nobody would know that unless they had gotten really close to him. He doubted his own mother knew that about him.

Slowly he pulled down his pants again to look at the initials. S.D.M. Scorpius Malfoy. If this was really true then what was she thinking? It was not really the smartest idea to go around and name a baby after someone you want to keep them away from.

Maybe she didn't want to keep the baby away from him, maybe she wanted to help him remember. That really did sound more like Hermione, helping everyone out and being the goody two-shoes know-it all that she was. So he had some answers but now he was stuck right in the middle and didn't know where to go from there.

A/N Wow I didn't know where I could cut that off because I was really getting into it but it had to stop. It's a bit short and it's all about Draco but I thought it was rather important. It goes totally against all of my plans so from here on out it is just spur of the moment. Originally Draco didn't find out 'til the end.
