Harry Potter One Shots

DracoXReader ~ Parents Part 3

(Y/n P.O.V)

"Why didn't you come back for me?" So many questions were raised through my head, but that was the one I wanted, and I did not need to know.

"I couldn't; the Y/l/n orphanage was your safest place. I couldn't let you die like your Mother did. 

I had to know you would be safe. With me, there was no way of telling. You would be in a dangerous place almost every week, and when you were home, you still wouldn't have been safe." My Father had tears in his eyes as he spoke about my Mother and what might have happened if he kept me.

"You could have protected me; you are the strongest and bravest man I have ever met." I almost pleaded with him to tell me more about my past.

"I wasn't always. Every year since giving you up, I have trained nonstop to strengthen. I planned to collect you on your birthday, bring you back home and tell you everything, but something came up, and it's no longer safe for you." His face hardened, thinking about whatever was keeping us apart.

"Dad, don't worry about me, we'll be okay. All I've ever wanted was my family, and you are my family, please, Dad." Draco approached me and gently patted my back as tears threatened to spill.

"I'm sorry, Y/n, I can't." He turned away as tears started streaming down his cheeks.

"Please, Dad, all I have ever wanted was to know my family loved me." Tears started streaming down my face at the memories growing, thinking my family hated me.

"I do love you! I can't protect you." He said, turning around and pulling me close to his body.

I returned the hug; I had never seen this side of him before. I liked it; it didn't last long before he let go again.

"So you're just going to let me go? I wish you well then; I will miss you, Dad. Stay safe." I turned to leave.

"What do you mean you're going to miss me? School starts tomorrow?" I could hear the worry in his voice.

"I am being sent to a new foster home....in Italy. I won't be returning to Hogwarts." A flicker of sadness and regret can be seen in his eyes as he stares at me.

"Fine, but if I tell you to run, you must promise me that you will leave me behind and go straight to Hogwarts." A smile creeps onto my face as I run into his arms.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" In response, he smiled, not a scary smile everyone expects but a Fatherly, loving smile.

"Deal!!" My voice went so high I swear I heard a glass shatter.

Both Dad and Draco laughed at my enthusiasm. I'm so glad I found my Father and a new best friend; this has turned out to be the best summer ever.

"You must sign adoption forms before three o'clock, or I must go." The excitement died down a little as we looked at the clock at 2:45 pm.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" He said, grabbing my hand and Draco's and operating to a side ally next to the Y/l/n orphanage.

We ran inside. The clock now read 2:50 pm. We had ten minutes to get the paperwork signed. Dad got it all signed by 2:59 pm, and that night, we celebrated with pizza and ice cream as I settled into my new home with my Dad.

(Okay, just a quickie: I want to do a 19 years later one where she's all grown up and has a family of her own, but it's up to you guys if you want a part 4 to this story once she finishes school comment bellow and your wish is my command.

Love Always, Author Snape <3 )
