It was a cold and stormy day with the sky thundering above the Leaky Cauldron. It was the month of July and the day was the 25th. 2006.
Draco's son was born and he couldn't be happier.
He went to the Leaky Cauldron to share the happiness and news that came into his life today.
He had gathered his friends and relatives there. He sat down ready to deliver the news.
When they had settled down he spoke, the happiness drowning him. He finally had an heir to him and couldn't be happier. They all looked at him waiting for him to start, expecting horrible news only getting better.
"I have an heir to the Malfoy family," he spoke calmly not letting them to see how happy he was, after all he was a Malfoy and Malfoy's had to keep up respectable and mature behavior at all times, "It's a boy and we have decided to name him Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy."
There were smiles and claps for him. They congratulated him with being blessed with a baby boy and naming him already. Some patted him on the back.
The happiness soon came to a halt as an old woman with glasses and frizzy dark brown hair approached him. She looked familiar, a face he couldn't put his finger on. She had a spiritual aura around her and was peering at him with big brown eyes and she spoke with a raspy voice. It sounded almost male.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy......"
She grabbed his shoulder and began speaking as if she was possessed. It scared Draco when she grasped his shoulder but what scared him more was what was coming out of her mouth. He froze in complete terror, the whole population of the Leaky Cauldron stopping to listen to what the woman had to say.
"The war of darkness and light may be over,
He who raised his hand against the dirty blood has vanished,
But beware death and suffering in the future,
Young and old may not be salvaged,
Resistance destroyed and lives taken,
One birthed by a follower of death who is not,
May change the fate of the pure and corrupted."
Draco's jaw dropped wide open at the prophecy. After all that was what it was. Draco mind began pondering over the line 'One birthed by a follower of death who is not'. What could that possibly mean? Also was this prophecy suggesting that suffering was to be faced in the future even after the war with Voldemort that occurred only 8 years ago. The battle of Hogwarts.
The memories brought tears to his eyes that threatened to spill but he held them back.
The woman's eyes drooped before snapping back open.
"Oh dear, what's going on here? Why the silence?" She spoke confused.
This confused everyone even more.
Draco opened his mouth to reply, licking his lips.
"You spoke a prophecy Trelawney. A dark future ahead you said, deaths and age not mattering. A person who could put an end to it though. Birthed by a follower of death who is not." Spoke a voice that wasn't Draco's.
His head snapped to a corner in the Leaky Cauldron. A head was lifted and everyone one gasped.
"IT'S HARRY POTTER!" Screamed a voice. Joined by a hundred others.
Of course it would be Harry Potter. The wizarding worlds savior. Loved by all. He had said Trelawney. Of course, it was his bag of a hag Divination professor.
"And," Harry continued quieting down the loud voices, "You directed it to, as said before, Draco Lucius Malfoy."
Eyes turned to Draco who wanted to cower and shrivel up. However he held his head high, accusations attacking him, about his past and his choices.
Trelawney's gaze also turned to him. Draco looked at her only to turn back to Harry who started speaking.
"I suppose I can put my faith into this being real because all of your other prophecys in the past have been true." He sighed as if hating the fact that this would be true.
"Now I hope that this doesn't leave this place and doesnt put the whole of England into turmoil. Me and my Aurors will look into this and see why it was directed to Draco."
Draco faintly nodded has head. He didn't want to freak out in front if everyone so he decided to keep it cool.
Soon the Leaky Cauldron had been emptied, with only a few remaining. Draco exited the Inn and went back to Malfoy Manor with the prophecy lines repeating in his head.
How unfortunate he was along with the wizarding world and the newly released prophecy.
Although Harry had told everyone to keep quiet about the prophecy, rumors leaked out leaving wizards and witches alike, scared and worried for their future.
