"Another kid for you" a dark, mysterious voice said, apparating into the Weasley's living room, dumping a young child onto the kitchen table. "Envelope of cash in his blanket, I'll collect him later. Thank you".
With that, the figure disapparated, leaving the Weasley family staring at the spot in which he'd just been stood, feeling completely and utterly baffled.
"What are we, some sort of daycare?!" Molly muttered, scooping up the newly arrived infant and cradling him in her arms. "Haven't we got enough kids of our own to take care of? How on earth is that now the second person to dump kids with us - first Severus, and now this person!"
She unwrapped the blanket in which the child was swaddled, letting the envelope fall to the floor as she re-wrapped them.
She settled the child down in a fortress of cushions she constructed in an armchair, before opening the envelope. Inside was a large sum of money as promised, alongside a letter.
'Molly,
This kid is Draco Malfoy. Please take care of him. I'll collect him soon, I just can't look after him right now. Don't tell anyone you have him, otherwise the death eater's will come and take him back, which can't happen.
Sorry for the inconvenience'.
Molly sighed. There wasn't really anything else she could do, was there?
"Arthur!!"
"Yes, honey?"
"I know we agreed no more kids for a while, but Draco Malfoy has just been dumped in our living room with an envelope of cash and instructions to keep his whereabouts a secret"
Arthur took a deep breath.
"Alright, dear. Just this one more. But these people better collect their kids soon!"
"They've said they will, my love. We just have to trust them for a while, I suppose".
