Lost and Found

Part XVI

The Results…

Draco:

Draco was led into a large interrogation room. Dumbledore never left his side and that made him feel less vulnerable. A couple of people scattered around the room waiting.

The Minister walked right by him and took a seat. Everyone else followed his lead. For a long hour Dumbledore fed information, some not completely true.

Finally it was decided that there should indeed be a blood testing and that Lucius should be contacted immediately. Draco was taken off so he could give his own blood, though there was no doubt he was a Malfoy.

Again the hours past, Draco spending much of his time in the lobby, while Dumbledore was off taking care of his own business. Finally he was called.

He had to walk back into the same room, only this time his mother, father, and the young infant were present. Once more he took the seat he had been given and waited.

The Minister stood in front of everyone and stated loudly, "Thank you all for you patience, we have had a few difficulties but nothing major. Now if you may, Healer Joanna Monroe."

A young lady stood and nodded to everyone. "Firstly, I would like to thank you Minister. Secondly, I have here the official records for all blood families ever having attended St. Mungo's. I have checked to make sure no blood was tampered with.

"Before I begin reading these results, are there any questions?" No one said a thing.

Everyone was to busy holding their breaths, including his father. Lucius sat straight as a board, face lacking in expression, even his eyes were void of such. But Draco could tell, perhaps it was the way he was avoiding any eyes, who knew?

"On with it Miss Monroe, I'm afraid we have wasted too much time on this today."

"Yes, yes Minister. Anyway back to business!" she opened the folder and pulled out a file.

"Oh, yes. Well, well, well what do we have here?"

"Monroe," he said once more with a cold slicing voice.

"Well everyone it seems here that we have a predicament. It seems that while the child in question, Eris Alana Malfoy, is a Malfoy by blood but she is not the daughter of either Lucius nor Narcissa Malfoy."

Had there been a time to gasp out loud this would be it.

"And how might that be Healer?" Lucius asked his voice kept in check to make sure not to leak his worry.

"Ah but Lucius don't you already know the answer to that one?" This voice came from none other than Dumbledore.

"Calm everyone. Healer Monroe do you have anymore information to give us before I call this case unimportant?"

"Why yes Minister it so happens that Miss Malfoy is not the daughter but the granddaughter of Mr. Malfoy, sir."

"Meaning what? That can't be my kid!" Draco said with a normal air of rudeness.

"Do you deny any sexual activity during the past year?"

His eyes snapped up to the woman asking this of him. Of course he didn't, Hermione had showed him enough not to believe that. "No."

"Then it is not up to you. Healer?"

"The blood samples we took prove that fact."

Eyes wide and fright creeping into every part of his body, Draco turned to his mother. She looked at him and nodded, but then she broke the contact.

This must have been what she meant about the last piece of the puzzle, it all fit. How could it though? Hermione would never have given up the baby, not after keeping Scorpius. In the end he was just as confused if not more so.

"But what of the Bonding Charm Healer, I have no mark."

"There are instances where magic may mess with the charm. Are you sure there is no mark anywhere?"

"I'll show you if you must make certain but wouldn't it have appeared on the inner thigh?"

"Yes but a simple spell can move it to a another piece of the body. Why don't we give you a through examination to make sure?"

"Yeah, fine."

So again he was escorted away to the other room. Here his blood had been taken and the testing had been done. For a moment he stood around waited.

The Healer instructed him to undress, leaving him very uncomfortable even with his boxers. She looked him up and down pausing only once.

"Mr. Malfoy, may I ask whose initials these are?"

"Sure, these are my son's."

"And the mother?"

"I'd rather not mention such things in here," his voice was harsh keeping her from continuing with the questions.

"Fine you may leave."

Later on, as they sat, the Minister called upon them. "Does anyone have anything to say before I call a recess for the evening? Lucius?"

"Yes, Minster, I would like to make it be seen that I have nothing to do with this. In fact the child was born a few weeks before my release was even considered."

"Yes, well, there will be a lot more questioning. Madam what have you to say?"

"Minister, in the best wishes of my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, I would like to mention that Lucius is boldfaced lying to you all."

"Narcissa, what has gotten into you? Please excuse us everyone; I believe she had been out far to long. Come along darling."

"A moment please Lucius? Madam what are you suggesting?"

"I do not know where he got my granddaughter, or who had been keeping her, but he brought her home the day before he was released. It means foul play."

"Mother calm down don't do anything to rash and what of a daughter-in-law? You know better than that! I said it was to soon to ask yet!"

"Shh…"

For a moment all was quiet as the bundle infant squirmed restlessly. Narcissa waved for Draco but he only starred back. He looked up at the people in charge and a few nodded.

Lucius walked away slightly as he approached and Draco looked up at him with utterly fake politeness. Happy tears were already forming in Narcissa's brilliant blue eyes.

She unwrapped the blanket a good bit and handed over the baby instantly. "Do you have her darling?"

"Yes Mother, I've only been doing this for a while now." Draco rubbed his thumb over her plump cheek as he did so often to Scorpius and watched her smile.

"When was the last time she ate or had her diaper changed?"

"Oh it's been awhile I'm sure she's ready for both."

With out a second thought he lifted the diaper bag at his side and went to work. Many of the surrounding people turned to watch him work at something he was quite good at. Draco shot the daggers from his eyes and when asked he shrugged and replied, "No one is going to be looking at my daughter naked as long as I live."

He was still uncomfortable with the fact that he had a second child he knew nothing about and for no real reason. He really didn't feel like he should be calling her his either, at least not at the moment.

After he settled down to feed her he stole a glance at Lucius who seemed disgusted with everything around him. It was almost amusing in fact.

Finally someone spoke, breaking the silence. "Well this is all deeply moving but some of us have lives that must be attended too, so without further interruptions this will have to continue in the morning?"

Most agreed upon this and thus the grovel was hit. Next, though, was quite unexpected. The Healer approached him and held out her arms for the baby.

Draco was confused and looked to his mother for guidance. She nodded and he did so, very slowly.

"Don't worry. She'll be just fine until custody is decided."

He went over and hugged his mother ever so briefly and walked towards Dumbledore.

"If I might suggest something, Draco, I believe Hermione and your son would do well to be here tomorrow." His answer was a nod.

Okay people tell me how it was. And I have to say while I did not end this the way I wanted to doesn't mean much. It just worked out a lot better this way! One problem though I almost don't want a sequel. I think I could wrap it up in the same story with out problems but it is up to you!

I just don't want a pathetic sequel to this story, which I'll say is the best story I've written so far and the only one to make it 'til the end. Or not? I don't know! Help me please! Love you all!
