Middle of Harry’s 7th year
London, Ministry Headquarters“Draco Malfoy, you have been found guilty of the attempted murder of Harry James Potter. Do you have any final words?”
Draco Lucius Malfoy got up and looked at everyone in the courtroom. “I do not know what is happening here in this so called court of justice, but someone has framed me for a crime that I did not commit. And this Court is helping who did this to me by not postponing my trial until the Hogwarts potion Master or reliable Veritaserum becomes available. If I am guilty then let me be damned by my own words, not my evidence that has been faked and tampered with. However I see that my request will once again go unheeded, thus all I have to say is that I am Draco Malfoy and I vow this day to strike back at those that have taken from my life, love an trust from me, know this I will have my revenge.”
Taking a deep breath and fighting his tears Draco turns to face his ‘victim’, “And to you Harry Potter, after everything was said and done you did the one thing you promised me you would never do. Merlin might forgive you one day, but I never will.” With that he sat down and waited for the judge to continue. Draco knew that although the judge allowed his trial to proceed without the use of a truth potion he was uncomfortable with the decision. That is why Draco chose to remind him of that fact now.
The Judge narrowed his eyes and looked at Draco, “Mr. Malfoy, if I had a Knut for every guilty criminal that passed through these doors and claimed to be innocent I would be richer than your family. It truly saddens me Mr. Malfoy that you have neither shown any remorse for your actions of trying to kill Mr. Potter nor have you offered any restitution for the act by telling this court what the Dark Lords plans are for Mr. Potter or the war. As such I must hand out the strongest punishment possible, therefore I order that Draco Lucius Malfoy be stripped of his magic and be banished from the magical world effective immediately. May Merlin have mercy on your soul!”
The courtroom erupted with cheers and shouts of joy. Harry Potter and his supports were jumping for joy at the news of their victory against the Dark Lord and the bastard who thy trusted but betrayed them to him. They would never have to worry about him again now that he had been stripped of his power, as a muggle he was nothing add to this his banishment and they have crippled the Dark Lord.
While the Potter Fan club was rejoicing Draco turned to his parents with a look of horror. But in an instant his face was blank, Draco suppressed all his emotions he will not let these traitors see how their betrayal hurt him. They lied to him, they broke faith with him and there was nothing worst than breaking faith with a Malfoy. Turning back to the judge Draco stood tall and faced his destiny. For destiny always favored the bold.
Slamming his gravel down the Judge called, “Order in the court. All of you will conduct yourself with proper wizard or witch decorum or I will have you removed from my courtroom. Auror Weasley please step forward and administer the Courts sentence, take the convict’s magic.”
With the war with Voldemort in full swing secure spaces became an elusive commodity. The situation became serious because with the amount of Death Eaters and common criminals Aurors and Order members were capturing. In fact the Ministry began to run out of places to house prisoners.
Right when Officials feared that they would have to release criminals due to the shortage of space, a solution was reached this pass summer. In preparation for the war, Albus Dumbledore assembled Masters of their respective fields and brought them together to form a think tank. The group’s main objective was to figure out a way to destroy Voldemort once and for all. However they soon found themselves tackling other magical problems that presented themselves due to the war. The summer before last they stumbled onto a safe process that would allow them to remove a witch or a wizard ’s magic.
After spending a year working out the kinks the members of the group Albus Dumbledore, Jane Black (really a disguised Sirius Black), Remus Lupin, N. Tonks and Severus Snape along with two student assistants Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley; were finally able to prefect the process so now throw a process of charms, potions and spell weaving a person’s magic can be stripped from magical beings. After the wizard trials (similar to human drug trials) were completed, and the wizard’s council and all international legal bodies of justice approved the process for use the members of the group were given the Order of Merlin 1st class.
The reason the group was awarded the Order of Merlin was due to the humane nature of the process. Unlike the dementors kiss that left the body functioning with no one mentally home; this process left the former witch or wizard physically and mentally intact, thus able to lead a productive life in the muggle world. So now any one convicted of a war crime, or serious felony was stripped of their magic given a 1,000 pounds and sent into the muggle world.
An hour later the process was completed and Draco Malfoy had been stripped of his magical powers. As Draco stood in the cold unfriendly courtroom, magicless he felt as if a vital part of him had been ripped out of him. What was missing seemed almost as important and vital as him breathing air. Draco wanted to break down and cry; but he couldn’t because magic or no magic he was still a Malfoy and Malfoys just do things like that.
“Draco Malfoy in addition in addition to your punishment your wand will hereby be snapped in half. Auror please step forward and carry out the sentence.” The judge said.
Bill Weasley, formerly a Gringott’s curse breaker, now a deputized Auror step forward with a 10in Black Ebony wand, Dragon Heart. “By order of the Ministry, I hereby snap the wand of Draco Malfoy.” After Bill spoke the official words that magic required, he leaned over and whispered to Draco, “You deceived and almost killed my brother, today you got off lightly but should I every see you again, I will have my pound of your flesh.” With a sadistic smile, Bill snapped Draco’s wand. What Bill not see was that magic contained in his wand flew straight into Draco’s heart. And to Draco something else began to grow in his body in the place that ha be robbed.
With the judgment passed and the sentence carried out Draco was led from the courtroom. On his way out Harry Potter stood in front of him and whispered, “I loved you and you betrayed me, now all I feel for you is hate. I wish that instead of being humane that they had made you suffer like I am. But like all Malfoys you got off lightly. But I must thank Malfoy for teaching me never to trust or love, for in the end they will be used against you. But know this when I walk out of here I WILL NEVER think about you again. I hope your life with muggles is worst than my experience.” And with that Harry turned from his former lover and with billowing robes walked away and never looked back.
Next Lucius Malfoy walked up to his son, although Malfoys never showed public affection Lucius was going to do just that. Lucius wrapped his arms around his son and gripped him in a tight embraced. This might be the last time he would ever see him, thus he spoke from his heart, “Son, I know that you are innocent. Though this whole thing you have handled yourself like a true Malfoy and I am proud of you, hell Draco Lucius Malfoy, you are my son and I love you.
Draco, I give you my word that I will find out who framed you and I will clear your name and bring you home where you belong. I promise you that the heavens will weep after we have had our revenge. They have taken much from us this day, but not as much as we will take from them when we are done with them. Our revenge will be sweet, remember that my boy let it get you through the cold nights ahead of you. But do not allow it to consume you Draco. While you are gone make a new life for yourself, I want you to live Draco. Please try and find happiness you deserve it. I will have your conviction overturned just hold on son, I will find you.” As he let go Lucius discreetly slipped an envelope with 20,000 pounds all the muggle money he could get on such short notice into Draco’s clothes. With that Draco was taken to muggle London and released.
“Bah” Spoke words.

10-Minutes Later
Draco walked out the Ministry of Justice and was escorted to the archway that separated magical London from muggle London by Auror Weasley. When they arrived at the archway, Bill pulled his wand and tapped on the correct bricks opening the gateway. All this was done in silence, When the gateway was fully opened Draco held his head high and began to crossover to the side, however just as Draco was half way through the gate Bill grabbed him from behind shoving him up hard against the ally wall. Then wither tempered rage Bill threw Draco to the ground. Breathing hard as rage sweep through him, Bill stood over Draco and began to kick him in his back, “You disgusting piece of filthy slim. After everything that Harry did for you, you turn your back on him and betray him. You should thank Merlin I am an Auror or your life would be forfeit.” Bill punctuated each word with a kick to Draco’s back, leg or head.
Draco did not attempt to fight back, instead he rolled up into a tight ball facing away from the Auror; Draco was determine to protect his stomach from any on the enraged man’s blows while making the rest of him as small of a target as possible. Draco back was already beginning to feel the pain of the attack and he began to panic that his child’s life was endanger. Knowing that he had to bring this beating to a fast conclusion. Draco raised his head, looked at Weasley doing his best to hide his pain Draco said, “And I suppose this little demonstration does nothing to sully your Auror badge or betray the brave and honorable traits of Gryffindor house? Oh I forget bravery really is defined as dishonorably attacking your enemy from behind so that I couldn’t defend myself. Why that also sounds like something a Slytherin would do. I guess we all do what we need to do in order to survive.”
After hearing Malfoy’s words Bill began to slowly get hold of himself. Within a few minutes he had himself once again under control.
Looking down at Malfoy Bill focus on what Harry need, not wanting to have anymore to do with the animal lying at his feet Bill completed his task. Reaching into his robes Bill pulled out an envelope with 1,000 pounds and threw it at Malfoy’s feet. Then letting the contempt and hatred he felt for Malfoy fill his eyes Bill spit on Malfoy, “Remember Malfoy never let me see you again because if I do Slytherin or not I will kill you, regardless of what oaths I am under.” With that Auror Weasley turned around and walked back through the archway closing it behind him.
As the arched closed the Auror’s back was the last sight Draco saw of the magical world. Pain shot through Draco suddenly, and he realized just how much his mind, body and soul were hurting for not only the beating he just received but also from the stress, neglect, betrayal and heart he has suffered since his arrest. Starting his arrest, Harry’s betrayal, the trial, the stripping of his magic, his banishment and now this beating there was only so much one body could take before it broke permanently. Draco knew instinctively that his body had reached this point and if he tried to push it right now he would loss his child and most likely his own life. ‘Damn, I will not lose this child, even if it means lying in the filthy of this muggle ally.’ Closing his in an effort to rest Draco had one last thought before the darkness took him. ‘How did I Draco Malfoy fall so far from grace?’ With that thought Draco’s pain flared and then blackness engulfed him. As if sensing Draco’s need the darkness took him back to the beginning of his fall from grace. Dream Flash
Two month ago,
Ministry of Justice:Draco had been arrested two days ago, he was charged with the attempted murder of Harry Potter. Sitting in his dark cell, Draco scoffed at the thought of him killing Harry. ‘How could they believe that I would try to murder Harry, the ideas is just to ridiculous. I more likely to shag him than kill him.’ However, if I keep sacrificing my meals to the porcelain God, then I might decide killing him or at less torturing him would be a great idea. Draco smiled and laid a pale hand on his taunt belly as it began to do flip-flops. Smiling Draco whispered lovingly, “Don’t worry little one I would never hurt your daddy.” That’s right Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter had become lovers. And now they were having a child together, there was no way Draco tried to kill Harry. “Besides if I wanted Harry dead there would be no tired about it.”
Draco had been sacrificing to the his new God for about two weeks but with everything going on, Harry and his trip, Hermione’s illness, studying for N.E.W.T.s plus all the pressure of keeping Harry and his relationship a secret he didn’t pay much attention to his illness. Then yesterday the day after his arrest Draco woke up in cell alone, the first time since school began in September, Draco began to suspect that maybe his sickness wasn’t stress induced but that he might be pregnant. However, he did not have to wonder long because this morning his magic confirmed for him that he was indeed carrying their first child.
From that moment on Draco was ecstatic about his pregnancy. During the course of their relationship Draco had become Harry’s home, now Draco was filling that home with their child, the symbolism was not lost on him. So in order to fill his empty days Draco began planning all the things that needed to be done for the new Potter-Malfoy heir. The child needed to be legitimate thus at first Draco spent the majority of his time planning Harry and his wedding. Then he thought of locations that would be ideal to find their perfect Manor House where they could raise the baby. There were applications to send off for so that the child could be placed on the best pre-school waiting list.
As Draco thought about the next phase of Harry and his life, parenthood, Draco had no fears because he knew that this child would mean the world to Harry. When the two first entered into their relationship Harry told Draco about his life with his relatives. Draco knew and strangely understood the pain and humiliations that Harry suffered at those miserable muggles’ hands. All Harry wanted was to be truly accepted for himself and live a normal life. The only thing the great Harry Potter wanted was heart and home.
Draco knew that wizards could get pregnant but only with the aid of potions and charms. Thus after the war Draco intended for them to buy a small Manor house in secluded wizarding village. Then he intended to start producing enough Potter-Malfoy’s that the Weasley would appear to be a normal size family. Draco would take the potion and submit to the charms and give Harry the family he so desperately craved. Chuckling Draco whispered, “Well my Emerald Lyon it seems that you might have once again done the impossible and giving me the gift of you.”
Draco was innocent of these charges; and he absolutely certain that Harry knew of this fact too. Hell Harry knew him better than anyone in the world Harry would never believe that Draco would willingly or unwillingly hurt him much less try to kill him? In fact Harry knew for a fact that the idea of Draco killing him was repulsive to Draco; last year as a part of their secret training Harry taught Draco how to throw off the imperio curse. In the beginning Draco was unable to break Harry’s hold over his mind. Then one day Harry gave Draco a command to kill him and within seconds Harry was violently pushed out of Draco’s mind. Draco would not tolerate any harm coming to Harry. Since then Draco has never been vulnerable to the imperio curse again.
As Draco sat in his cell awaiting words his days fell into a strange routine the day started and ended with Draco throwing up the time in between with Draco sitting on his bunk, thinking about Harry, planning their future and waiting for Harry to come for him. A week after his imprisonment began he received a pack from his father. The contents had been searched and checked before him receiving it. Inside was a short note telling him everyone was doing everything possible to either have the charges dropped or to prepare his defense. Also inside was an ancient text on potions and another text on herbology.
At first Draco had been surprised that the package had come from his father. The idea that Harry might be injured or near death began to plague Draco as he sat there trapped in his cell.
Draco was desperate, he needed to see and be reassured that Harry was okay. Draco knew that Harry believed in him and that everything would be okay but he wanted to hear Harry say so. Even though a prison cell was not the ideal setting Draco wanted to tell Harry about the news about the baby. Each day began with hope that this would be the day that Harry would come but he never did. His worry got to the point that he began to ask the guards to contact Harry and have him come. At first the guards looked at him with astonishment then anger, then they ignored him. However Draco never lost hope that his beloved would come to him, until the day one of his guards either took pity or revenge on him and gave him a copy of the newspaper to read.On the front page of the Daily Prophet was an article where Harry was not supporting him by demanding his release but rather condemning him demanding that he be given the strongest punishment possible imposed. After reading this, everything fell into place Harry lack of visits, why he was still in jail and even the hate he saw in his guard’s eyes. Ice began to form around the young man’s heart. Now with each passing day Draco harden his heart more and more, letting all his useless emotions drain away leaving only the Malfoy mask in their place.
As Draco contemplated his future he realized that he was pregnant with his betrayers child. Draco agonized over what he should do, but always at the end of his internal battle he came to no conclusion. It would also start with him looking down at his belly he and saying, “And what should I do about you little one, should I keep you, give you up for adoption, or spear you the heartache of this world and send you on to the next.” Draco usually never got farther that this because the idea of killing his child caused him throw up. Although he now hated Harry, it seems that he did have some non-homicidal feeling for the man if he was still willing to carry and bare his child.
As Draco’s trial approached, he realized that he needed to make a decision about his pregnancy before he faced the world, before he faced Potter. Thus he sat down and begun the debate for one final time, after stating his normal opening line, he begun his debate, taking it straight from his heart, “Baby how can I love you the way I should when I can’t even love myself. Something seems to be missing from me. Your father has taken something from me, and that alone makes me not want to lose you to him.”
Timidly Draco caressed his belly, “When I fell for your father I gave him my whole heart, I foolishly forgot to keep something back for myself. Now it is all gone and all I am left with is this emptiness and you. But you are not are not empty in fact you are filling me up with something that I can’t name. You are very special in your own right, independent of your father and me; you might be the joining of us but you are not us. Besides you are my little miracle. You are the best parts of your father and I, thus you deserve to live. You have the right to be born, grow up and make your own place in this world.”
Tears rolled down Draco’s face and landed on his still flat belly. “I want to keep you, but I don’t want you to become a pawn in this stupid war, which is really a game of chess between to powerful madmen. Having the boy who live and a Malfoy as your parents will be very hard for you, but as our offspring only you could handle it. Maybe you would be better off if
I place you up for adoption.” After thinking for a while letting the past flow through he while he rubbed his tears into his belly. “No. I can’t give you do that. I would never be sure that you were okay. Beside look what happened to your father and Tom Riddle. Add to that your Malfoy genes you will be taking over the world by 10, if I am not there for you.”
Draco decided that it would be in his and the world’s best interest for him to keep his child. Smiling for the first time in days, Draco cut his finger on the stone wall, mingling his blood with his tear Draco then called raw magic to him, called up his ability to do wandless forced his will on his belly, “I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, pledge myself, to you baby. I will do everything in my power to protect you against all harms, evils and dangers. I will train and teach about life and I will do everything and anything to ensure that you know what love is in all its shapes and forms. All I ask is that you love and trust me to do the right things for you.” With that there was a silver flash and when Draco’s vision cleared his blood and tears had disappeared. Unbeknownst to Draco and Thread of Silver and Gold magic separated from him and wrapped around his child, this magic sealed their oath.
With that decision reached Draco knew he now had to do everything possible to hide his pregnancy while he was in prison. If the Ministry of Magic or the Order of the Phoenix found out about his child, they would keep him imprisoned until the child was born and take it away from him. Most likely they would keep the news from the child’s other father as well as the Malfoys, it is always nice to have a spare. If Voldemort learned of the child he would want it to either kill it or raise it as his Heir. This was so not going to happen to his child. Thus Draco did everything possible to keep his condition a secret.
End of Dream Flash:
Draco woke up in an all white room that reminded him of the hospital wing. Sure enough as he turned around he saw that he was in a muggle hospital room. Draco tried to sit up to see if he could then get up but his muscle refused to agree with him. Within minutes of his waking a young girl walked into his room and smiled at him.
“Well hello John, how are you today?” The red headed girl said.
Draco looked around the room for John, but seeing that he was the only one there he said, “Who is John?”
The girl’s laughter floating on the air, “Well you are John, John Doe to be precise. It is what we call anyone who comes here, and we can’t identify them. Would you like to tell me your name so that I can update all your records?”
Thinking over what the girl said, no one knew who he was. Draco Malfoy needed to disappear for a time if he was to protect his child. Besides if Voldemort, the ministry or the Order ever tracked him here could throw them off his trail. “My name is Evan Bell, nice to meet you. I would shake your hand but I am under the weather right now.”
Walking over to her patient, “My name is Nora McGregor. And if you let me I will help you into a sitting position so that I can check your vitals and make you more comfortable.”
Draco nodded his consent and after helping Draco sit up, Nora began to fuse about him, she wrapped something around his arm and began to pump it up. Nora used some devise to listen to his heart after he stuck a glass stick under his tongue. Whatever these thing told her she recorded in on his chart.
When she was done Draco asked her a question, “Do you mind if I ask you some questions?”
Smiling, she nodded her head yes, “Frankly I am surprised you were able to restrain yourself for so long, you don’t seem the type to wait. Most people that come through here demand answers as soon as they wake up.”
Laughing, “Your right, I am not use to waiting, but I have had a long affair with medical staff and it is always easier to allow them to do their work first. It makes my life easier and you get better answers to your questions. Okay, first question is where am I?”
Drawing up a chair she sat, “That’s an easy one, you are at the Blessed Angels of Mercy Hospital. In London center.”
Nodding, Draco had a vague idea where he was. “How and when did I get here?”
“You are very lucky, you were brought in here 2 days ago suffering from a bad beating, malnourishment and exhaustion. A bobby or policeman found you while doing his rounds in an ally off of Chambers street.”
“Does anyone know why I was attack?” Draco asked.
“Well since they found an envelope with a thousand pounds in it beside you there are two theories, either someone attempted to rob you or you were involved in a drug deal gone wrong.”
Draco tilted his head, “I am not sure what you mean, but the money was giving to me by my father. I am leaving England soon, so he gave it to me as a going away present.”
“Oh, I guess it was a robbery attempt. That’s a good thing, well nothing is good about being robbed but it is better than a drug deal gone by. Now that you are awake we will inform in the police, they will most likely send someone down to question you. If that is all your questions, I have other patients to see.”
Draco gave her a look of gratitude, “Thanks for your time, will I see you again?”
“My shift is over in 3 hours, during that time I have to do another bed check, so I will see you before I go.” With that Nora got up, replaced her chair and left.
Soon, after Nora left Draco remaining strength gave out and he went back to sleep. Two hours later Draco was awakened by Nora, checking his vitals. Knowing that he needed to plan Draco asked Nora to him paper and something to write with.
In the morning, Draco woke up to the smell of hospital food, not really finding great but both him and the baby was hungry to he dung in. After that the morning nurse took his vitals then guided him to a bathroom where he showered and put on fresh hospital clothes. When he got back to his room two Police officers were there and they proceeded to question him for an hour. After they were done, they told him they would file a report and see that his money was returned before he left the hospital.
Now that Draco was clean, relaxed and alone he began to make plans for him and the baby. “Okay what are the things I must consider?
1. Whether to stay or leave England.
2. If I go where would I go?
3. What do I need to have a normal pregnancy?
Sighing, such a short list but filled with so much responsibility. “Okay the first thing to address is whether I should stay here or leave England. My banishment from the magical community does not include me having to leave its muggle counter point. So I could stay here where I have some familiarity, but then that increases the chances that someone from the magical community namely Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix or the Ministry will find out that I am pregnant. Right now all sides are content to let me go but that would change in a New York minute if they found out I was carrying Har… his baby. Then they would all be after me, so I vote for leaving and since I am the only one voting I win.
This begins me to number two, now that I am leaving where shall I go? Although, the Malfoys have estates throughout the world, in order for him to approach them he has to have magic. Since he has no magic it would be impossible for him to bypass all the muggle repealing and illusion charms surrounding the properties, thus the Malfoy holdings are worthless to him. Plus I am sure the Ministry is watching all of the Malfoy’s British properties and if they found out that he defied his magical banishment by going to any of the properties the Ministry would take everything away from my father and I can’t allow that.
Draco was frustrated with not being able to decide where to go, decided to move on to number three, “How am I going to have this baby safely and normally. What do I have to do during my pregnancy?” Draco had his pen posed to start writing, but his mind drew a blank, not expecting to do deal with this topic until after the war Draco had no reason for further study.
All Draco knew was that he needed potions to help his body synthesize the necessary hormones and protections needed to aid his and the baby’s bodies during the pregnancy. Draco had no clue how to answer that question. Then a bell went off in Draco’s head as he realized that the answer might be contained in the big potion book his father had sent him while in jail. Draco pressed the call button and waited for the duty nurse.
As Draco sat there and waited a sudden thought came to him and he realized that his lack of magic might interfere with his pregnancy or cause harm to either him or the baby. Draco began really scared, “Hold on Dragon. Breathe, you have to calm down and breathe.” Draco started to take slow deep breaths. Slowly inhaling then slowly exhaling. Draco began to clam and he was able to get himself under control. “Now Draco think it’s been three days since they stripped you of your power, if something was going to happen you would have already miscarried. So if you don’t stress yourself, get the proper potion everything should take care of its self.” Draco knew that without the proper information this was nothing but wishful thinking, but right now he held on to it like a lifeline.
“Yes Mr. Bell, what seems to be the problem?” the asked upon entering.
It took Draco a few minutes to snap out of it and focus on the woman. “Oh, yes I was wondering where I the stuff I came in here with was located?”
The nurse looked at the boy and walked over to the closet and pulled out to bags one was his bag, the other appeared to be a clear plastic bag with his clothes. “Here they are. Is that all, I do have other sick patients on the floor.”
Draco forced himself to smile and said, “Thank you, you have been a great deal of help.” The nurse glared at him then left.
Draco went through his clothes first and found the envelope of money his father had given him. He had ben worried that it had been found by the police or stolen before they had found him in the ally. If he were to survive in his new life then he would need this money. After that Draco opened up his bag and pulled out the two books there, the potion book was charmed to only revel its content to the reader if they had Malfoy blood. The herbology book was something that could be found in the muggle world, (although it wasn’t since it was much more complete than anything muggles could do.) so it was not charmed. Thus when the cops went through his stuff they would not have found anything suspicious about the books.
Opening the potion book he looked up the index for potions on Wizard’s pregnancy. In the table of contents Draco found a chapter on Wizard’s Pregnancy stating on page 419. When Draco turned to the chapter he was surprised, thinking he would find only a short chapter on the subject what he got was a quite extensive explanation on the theory, magic and necessary conditions for the ideal Pregnancy. The chapter told him exactly what he had to do to have a healthy baby. He would need a lot of potions over the next six months; the only problem was that most of them were rare for even the magic world, which meant that he would not find it in the muggle world. “It seems that it seems that if I am going to have my potions I will need to harvest ingredients fresh for each one. Which means this is the solution to my problem of where to go. I will go to wherever the potions lead me.” Smirking Draco began listing the ingredients he would need.
Then he spent the next three hours looking them up in the herbology book to find out where they were located. At the end of his project Draco found that there were only two places were the ingredients grew, the Forbidden Forrest, in Scotland and the Emerald Forrest in Southern Ireland. The best part is that the Emerald Forrest is pure so no dangerous dark creatures live there. Since the Forbidden Forrest was out by default he chose the Emerald Forrest.Right after the decision was made, the aide came in and delivered lunch. After eating a man named Dr. Edwards came into the room and introduced himself to Draco. After checking him out the doctor told him that he would get out the day after tomorrow. Happy with the news Draco took a nap till dinner. At 4:00 PM he was awakened briefly to have his vitals checked by Nora. At 6:00 PM the aide woke Draco to serve him dinner. After dinner Nora encouraged him to get up and walk around the halls. He followed her on her rounds and by the time he got back to room he was ready to do nothing but sleep. When they got back to room, Draco gave her a five-pound note and asked her to pick up a newspaper or rental listing in Ireland. Then he went off to dreamland.
* * *
The next morning Draco woke up, took a shower, dressed and waited for the aide to bring his breakfast. After eating, he moved from the bed to the chair by the window and began to read the Wizard’s pregnancy chapter in his potion book. The hours trickled away Draco absorbed a lot of information. The only thing that disturbed his day were the nurses coming in to check his vitals, using the bathroom, and meals. After dinner Nora entered his room with the newspaper and rental listing. At the end of Nora’s shift she came and Draco told her he was leaving in the morning. Draco thanked her for her help after talking for a while longer she left and he went to sleep.

Draco Malfoy left the Hospital of the Blessed Angels and disappeared.
