draco malfoy imagines

legendary IV

- 13 years ago -

    "I thought we told you not to exert yourself. It never did you any good, and it could affect you in the future."

    "I know, but I had to do it. It was me or the family."

    "But, Y/N..."

    You shook your head, "Sorry but I had to do what I had to do. It's my duty."

    "Y/N, if you die... I'll never forgive myself."

    "It'll be okay."

    "But what about him?"

    The room went silent.

    Just a few hours ago, Y/N Malfoy gave birth to Draco and her child, Scorpius, then just a bit after that, you'd fainted and slipped into a coma for two hours. In the span of those two hours, your heart stopped and your magic pressure drained significantly, far less than a normal wizard's body magic. Since then, Scorpius hadn't stopped crying until you'd finally woke up.

    You clutched Scorpius close to you as you glanced from Draco to Astoria who stood in the doorway.

    "Y/N..." Astoria swallowed hard, "you gave so much during childbirth, but you didn't take into account that you might have a child who needs you alive."

    "It was just a decision in the moment, you know?" you sighed, "there's no time to think."

    "Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Draco rubbed his forehead, "did anyone else know about this?"

    "My mother warned me..." You chuckled, "that giving birth to a child, would eventually activate a blood curse that could shorten my lifespan."

    "You used up so much magic," Astoria rubbed your arm, "you know that's dangerous."

    "I had to, I wanted to give Draco the family he deserved."

    "You even used up all of your magic reserves." Draco shook his head, "Y/N, you should've thought this through. If anything, I never deserved to have a family."

    "Draco Malfoy." You stood up and walked over to him, "don't you ever say that. Without you, who knows who I'd be married to, and the Malfoy bloodline would've been a goner. Not only that, I don't think I or even Astoria would be able to live with ourselves if you were gone forever. And now that we have a son, you're worth even more to us than anything, because i have a plan."

    "What?"

    You turned to face Astoria. You walked up to her and held the baby out to her, "I want you to be Scorpius' mother."

    "What?! B-But Y/N..." Astoria stuttered, "I can't!"

    Draco stood up, "Y/N, are you hearing yourself?!"

    "I know what I'm saying." you looked at him, "If Scorpius grows up with a different mother, when my time comes, he'll be fine, because he would never have known me."

    "No, Y/N!" Astoria grabbed your shoulders, "I won't allow this! You have to bond with your own son! Not for just his sake, but for yours as well!'

    "Y/N, please, Astoria's right." Draco pleaded, "and what will you do? Do we have to live apart?"

    "If that's what it takes." you pursed your lips as tears filled your eyes, "for his happiness, please don't tell him about my existence or who his real mom is. Ron and Harry need to know this as well. I supposedly died in childbirth and Astoria came to help you take care of him."

    "Y/N..." Draco muttered, "what will happen to you?"

    "I'll stay somewhere else, outside the village." You wiped your eyes.

    "I can take care of everything around the manor." Astoria pointed a finger at Draco, "I'll lock you out of the house if I have to, but you need to go stay with Y/N for as long as you can, you hear?"

    Draco nodded, "Y/N, I'll stay with you when I can. Don't worry."

    "I know." you smiled, "Astoria, I know you'll be a great mother."

    "Y/N... Please, do we really have to go through with this? It's not that I don't want to, it's just that you deserve to lead your own life... not by yourself away from the people you love..."

    "I know, but..." you smiled sadly down at Scorpius, "it's for his own good."

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

- Present day -

      "You look just like your parents."

      "I honestly don't who that is anymore." Scorpius crossed his arms, "but I recognize you. You were in that photo too, weren't you?"

     "Mhm." The man smiled, "aw, you're so cute... You know, Draco never told me about you recently. You make me so happy!"

     "Yeah, yeah." Scorpius rolled his eyes, "you're Mr. Longbottom, right?"

     He nodded, "please, just call me Neville."

     "Okay." Scorpius tapped his small cup of tea and glanced back at him, "so do you know who my real parents are?"

     Neville smirked and shut his eyes, "to tell you the truth, I had no idea about this whole ordeal. I was the only one out of my own friend group to not know what was really going on. I mourned Y/N's death, she supposedly died in childbirth, as told by the Chosen one. Astoria was your official mother, which made sense since Astoria did like Draco during Hogwarts."

     "That's what I thought, but..." Scorpius tapped his chin, "who's Y/N, though?"

     "Y/N?" Neville smiled, "she's a living legend. Meaning yes, she's still alive. She was, actually, she still is a member of the Golden Trio, alongside Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

     "So..."

     "Yes, your Dad really is Draco. You are truly a Malfoy by blood. However, it's Astoria you're asking about?"

     "Yeah."

     "Well..."

     "Dad's been cheating on mother with Y/N."

     "Hm, cheating? Well, Draco has always been a lady's man, but he only had his heart set on one girl. He would never love anyone if you truly knew him, but he really fell in love with this girl."

     "Was it Mother?"

     "No, it was your Mum."

     "Isn't that the same person? Astoria?"

      Neville chuckled, "I'm sorry, but there is a difference. Astoria is your mother, but when you were born, you called your real mom 'Mum'. At least, that's what Harry told me."

     "Hang on... My 'real' mom? Mother isn't?"

      "Why is Dad always gone the entire day?! You're not going to do anything about the fact that your husband is cheating on you?!"

      "He's not my...!" Astoria froze, "S-Scorpius, I didn't mean--"

      "No." Neville muttered, "truly look at yourself in the mirror, and you don't really have any other belief. When I said you looked like your parents, I meant--"

     "Y/N."

     "Yeah. Y/N Avery never turned up in any records, because currently, her real name is
Y/N Malfoy. She's your real Mum."
