Rockabye
Alright guys I just thought of a story idea when listening to this song. Song is called "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit feat. Sean Paul and Anne-Marie. The song is basically about a single mother doing anything she can to give her child a better life. That's some good shit.
Anyway this had inspired a little story in my head of Draco Malfoy ( you can choose his gender. Remember single fathers need love too, but your choice.) is raising his cousin Teddy Lupin on his own with no help. How they both got in this situation is that after the war, Draco is on house arrest with his mother when suddenly he gets a call from the floo. He answers and is bewildered to find it's his estranged Aunt Andromeda, she looks bad and Draco is on high alert. Draco steps through and as soon as he lands his aunt thrusts an infant with brown hair, when the child looks at Draco the child's hair turns his white-blonde. Draco looks towards Andrmeda for explaination and she tells him that the child in his arms is his young cousin, Edward Lupin, or Teddy. She explains for the past three weeks she had been receiving death threats from unknown wizards threatening her life and Teddy's because of the Black Blood that runs through their veins. It was about a few days ago that the letter got more dangerous, she tried contacting Harry Potter or any of the Order members to no avail. Harry is out of the country on auror training and none of the order members are reaching her. Andromeda's only hope was Narcissa and her nephew. Just as she is about to say more, the wards around Andromeda's house are destroyed, she quickly hands Draco an envelope and tells him to open it when the time is right. Andromeda rushes him and Teddy to the floo and begs him to keep her grandson safe, to get him far away from Britain where they cannot be followed. She looks at her grandson and kisses his forehead, she does the same to her nephew and tells him to tell Teddy about his family. Draco was about to retort, he wanted to help, but his aunt pushed him through. He was suddenly at Malfoy Manor when his cousin starts crying. Narcissa comes down and his confused to find her son with a baby, Draco explains the situation and Narcissa suddenly looks fearful. She yells for Winky, their only house elf and tells her to pack Draco's bag and the Black family wand. As soon as Winky come back, Narcissa floos them to an unknown location, she tells Draco to run to their secret home im France and to hide. She kisses him goodbye and runs to the floo, wand drawn to help her sister. Draco does just that.
It is the last that is seen or heard of Draco Malfoy.
When Draco gets to France he needs to provide for his cousin at any means. ( In the song the mother is a pole dancer at a bar, but for this you can choose any profession.)
Its six years later and he loves Teddy likem a son and he provides Teddy a better life than what he had. ( As in being a loving parent and rejecting the old blood prejudices.) Draco does all he can for Teddy and even though Draco sometimes struggles or it's not the life Draco hikself grew up with, he can say life is going okay.
But soon the past will catch up.
