Here I was in front of the Malfoy Manor, I was nervous, scared. The number of thoughts that were racing in my head were too much for me to bear.
I was planning to be an adult when I did what I did. Now I must assume the consequences of my actions.
I walked to the front of the manor, Dobby greeted me and told me to follow him, that my parents were expecting me.
I did send word that I was coming home, but they are not aware of the reason. My hands are shaking, and I am sweating.
―" Master, mistress, the young master is here." Dobby blurted out with excitement.
―" Leave us, Dobby." Narcissa said with a calm demeanour. — "And please bring some refreshments, my sweet boy must be tired from the journey."― She instructed Dobby while looking at Draco with a smile.
―" Please be seated, son." Lucius declared, with a neutral tone. You could sense he didn't have an ounce of care for his child.
―" My sweet boy, I have missed you so very much." Narcissa beamed, while embracing her son.
― "I have missed you too, mother."― Draco replied, embracing his mother in a warm hug.
―" Tell me, my son, why have you come to visit? The school year is not over yet."― She asked him with a hint of concern.
―" Mother, father, there is something I must confess..."― Draco began, taking a deep breath and trying to stop his hands from shaking.
―" Speak, Draco. You seem rather nervous, what have you done this time?"― Lucius demanded with a hint of rage in his voice.
―" Lucius, let the boy speak. Don't be harsh."― Narcissa urged while looking at her husband.
―" There is something I must tell you. Firstly, I am so deeply sorry, I was careless, and I made a mistake."― Draco hesitated while looking at his mother, he knew it would be easier to confess rather than look at his father.
―" This might be a bit premature."― Draco gulped while scratching the back of his head.
―" Yes, my son, tell us."― Narcissa encouraged while grabbing her son's hands.
―" I will be a father."― Draco trembled in front of his parents, not able to move a muscle, he would rather not look at his father's face.
―" What was that, Draco?"― Narcissa asked inquisitively, still trying to process her son's confession.
―" You both will be grandparents."― This time Draco informed, finally looking at his father.
―" WHY ARE YOU SO IRRESPONSIBLE?"― Lucius bellowed, taking a vase from the table and smashing it against the wall.
―" Lucius, please. Don't scream at him."― Cissa cautioned her husband, trying to ease the tension.
―" YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THIS FAMILY, DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY."― Lucius snapped once more at his son.
―" Father, I..."― Draco attempted to explain to his father the circumstances.
―" WAS IT EVEN WITH A PURE BLOOD? WERE YOU THAT IRRESPONSIBLE THAT YOU PROCREATED WITH A MUDBLOOD?"― Draco's father demanded while pacing around the room.
―" JUST YOU WAIT, ONCE THE BLACKS HAVE FOUND OUT, YOU WILL BE ERASED FROM THE FAMILY TREE."― Lucius hissed with a dry laugh.― "BY THE WAY, YOU WON'T BE CONSIDERED A MALFOY ANY MORE."
―" Stop screaming, Lucius. I understand that you are disappointed and mad, but that is no way to speak to our child."― Narcissa demanded while walking straight to her husband.
―" Evidently he is not a child any more, from the way he ever so graciously confessed that we are to be grandparents" ― Lucius snarled, while grabbing a glass of water.
―" Draco, your father and I are truly disappointed. We expected more from you."― Narcissa explained, trying to hold back her tears.
―" IF YOU WANT THAT CHILD, YOU WILL HAVE TO GET A JOB. BECAUSE I WON'T PROVIDE ANYTHING FOR YOU."― Lucius yelled, struggling to keep his composure.
―" This could have been prevented if only I had followed my instincts and have sent you to Durmstrang. But no, I just had to listen to your mother."― The expression on Lucius' face went from furious rage, to disappointment and sadness.
―" YOU WILL BE CUT OUT OF THE WILL. NO ACCESS TO THE MALFOY INHERITANCE."― He screamed once more to his son.
―" Only I take the appropriate decisions in this family, but for once, I decided to listen to your mother, and I've allowed you to stay and study at Hogwarts, AND YOU GOT SOMEONE PREGNANT."
―Lucius continued: "FROM NOW ON, MY NEW HEIR WILL BE DOBBY. AND HE IS AN USELESS HOUSE ELF." ― He yelled in frustration, meanwhile, Dobby was entering the room with refreshments.
―" And you, Narcissa.." Lucius spun round on his feet to face his wife, pointed and scowled, "...you should have told Draco about the implications of not wearing protection. All you do is overprotect him. All this, and you couldn't even teach him how to protect himself properly."
Draco, sat there on the sofa, listening to his father and looking at his mother's face, which was full of disappointment. That was probably what hurt him the most, seeing his mother look at him like that. Then Lucius continued with his scolding.
―" DO YOU THINK I WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I WAS A STUDENT? I NEVER GAVE ANY REASONING FOR MY PARENTS TO BE DISAPPOINTED IN ME, THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN DOING TO US FOR YEARS."
"I thought this was only a phase, and that you would grow out of the rebelliousness and disappointment. But as you've got older, it has just got worse."― Lucius kept saying hurtful things to his son, while Narcissa tried her best to calm him down, despite also being frustrated and disappointed with Draco.
―"I will send a letter to Filch, if you want to be a father, you will have you earn your keep. You will work for Filch after school, and THAT'S FINAL!"― Lucius slammed his fists on the table and headed towards the door.
―" Please, father, not Filch. Everyone will laugh at me."― Draco pleaded with his father while lowering his head solemnly and sighing.
―" You should have thought about this before doing what you have done. I am going straight to Dumbledore to complain about why you have not received the proper sex education."― Lucius declared, who looked at his son and then left the room.
―" Draco, your father and I are truly disappointed, but this is out of our hands. You won't be working for Filch, I will make sure of that. You are mature enough to be able to conceive a child, so you will be mature enough to bring that child into this world and give it the best life possible."― Narcissa assured, while placing a hand on Draco's shoulder.
―" I want to meet this young lady, Draco. We shall wait a few days, so your father can have a chance to calm down, then later we will take her to a doctor. We need to make sure the child is healthy! You will be working part-time in one of the Black Family's business, you have to learn to be responsible if you are to be a father of a child."― She caressed her son's hair, while struggling hard to not cry.
―" Yes, mother, I understand. Thank you."― He stood up from his seat and hugged his mum tightly.
Draco retired to his bedchambers and decided to send an owl to his friends, to explain to them his sudden absence from school.
After the sudden news, his friends were in complete shock. They promised Draco and made a vow to him that they will take care of his girlfriend while he was temporarily away.
Mattheo, was laughing at Draco after knowing he might be Filch's new assistant. While Theo was so scared that something like that could happen to him, he knew he would not have a loving mother to support him, and that his father would kill him. But he was sure his friends will support him.
Draco, confessed to his friends how scared he was, but he was ready to assume the consequences.
Hello there,
This is my first short story collaboration with a dear friend of mine. We both love Draco, so we decided to write something together. Remember, this is based on our opinions and the way we see Draco and his family dynamics.
This particular story is set when Draco is 18, and he is already in his last year at Hogwarts.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you so very much for your support
And thank you, bethie00108, for writing this story with me.
