#dad draco

wait for what? it’s his baby.

so he comes into the room, but the labour is over. there’s this perfect baby in his mother’s arms, little white tuft of hair on his head to signify that he is a malfoy.

draco had read once that men become fathers the first time they see the baby, while women become mothers when they learn of it. he detested that notion- but as he looks down at his boy he knows that it’s true.

Summary: Draco is the head Healer at St Mungo's. You are the new Mediwitch that Draco can not help but slowly fall for you. You being oblivious to it all. -Both characters are 23 years old. Astoria is affected by the blood curse much earlier in her life. -

Part 1

Part 2-

The following morning, you woke up to a bright, crisp Saturday, with the sun casting golden rays through your window. You had spent the night mulling over Draco’s invitation, unsure of what to expect at his son’s birthday party. Draco had always been an enigma—charming, distant, and effortlessly elegant—but this was a new side of him, one that made your stomach flutter in ways you couldn’t quite explain.

You spent the morning getting ready, taking extra care with your appearance. It was just a casual party, but something about it felt… significant. After all, this was Draco Malfoy, the man who was both your boss and someone you found yourself increasingly drawn to. You pulled on a light dress that hugged your figure just enough to feel comfortable but still polished. When you finished your makeup and hair, you stared at your reflection for a moment, wondering if you were doing this for Draco or for yourself.

The party was being held at his home, not far from the hospital. You arrived a few minutes before two, uncertain of the atmosphere you’d find inside. Draco had mentioned it would be small, but you weren’t sure how small. You couldn’t shake the nervousness swirling in your stomach.

When you approached the large, elegant manor, you couldn’t help but be taken aback by the grandeur. The Malfoy estate had always been impressive, but seeing it from this angle, with the flowers blooming and the warm air, made it feel more inviting than it ever had before. The house was bustling with life—voices, laughter, and the sounds of children playing echoing from inside.

You took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell, trying to calm your racing heart. The door opened almost immediately, revealing a house-elf with a broad smile.

“Miss Y/N, welcome! Master Draco is expecting you,” the elf said kindly, ushering you inside.

You stepped into the foyer, your eyes taking in the tasteful décor. There were banners hanging with images of dragons and magical creatures, and tables laden with snacks and treats for the children. The place felt festive, but still maintained that signature Malfoy elegance.

“Y/N! You made it!” Draco’s voice rang out, and you turned to find him standing at the top of the staircase, a warm, welcoming smile on his face.

He looked effortlessly put together, as always. His white shirt was crisp, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his gray trousers fit him perfectly. His platinum blonde hair was just slightly tousled, adding to his charm. You couldn’t help but notice how different he seemed from the Draco you had known in school—more grounded, more approachable. And yet, that same quiet intensity was still there.

“Of course I did,” you replied, your voice a little more playful than you intended. “How could I resist free food and a birthday party?”

Draco chuckled softly, stepping down the stairs to greet you properly. He seemed relaxed, but there was a certain edge to him today—his attention to detail was sharp as ever, and it was clear he was keeping a close eye on everything.

“I’m glad you could make it,” he said, his voice softer now, though there was still that authoritative tone in it. “Scorpius is in the garden. He’s been asking for you since I told him you were coming.”

You raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Me? He barely knows me.”

Draco’s grin widened. “He’s heard plenty about you. I may have mentioned the lovely MediWitch who works with me at St Mungo’s. He’s been excited ever since.”

Before you could respond, a small voice broke through the air.

“Daddy! Daddy !” a child’s voice called from the garden, followed by the patter of little feet.

You turned just in time to see a small, blonde boy running toward you. He looked to be about five, just as Draco had mentioned. His bright, curious eyes locked onto yours, and his face broke into a wide grin.

“You must be Y/N!” the boy said enthusiastically, his little hands reaching up toward you. “Daddy says you’re a healer! Can you heal my dragon?”

Draco laughed softly at his son’s exuberance and placed a hand on the boy’s shoulder. “This is Scorpius, my little troublemaker.”

“Scorpius, this is Y/N,” Draco added, his voice warm. “She’s a very talented MediWitch.”

You knelt down to the boy’s level, offering a smile. “Well, Scorpius, I’d be happy to try and heal your dragon if you can show me where he is.”

Scorpius squealed with delight, pulling you by the hand toward the garden, where a small wooden playhouse had been converted into a “dragon’s lair.” The garden was alive with the chatter of children, running and playing. You couldn’t help but smile at the sight of it. There was something incredibly pure and joyful about children, and Scorpius seemed to embody that spirit.

You spent the next few hours mingling with the other guests, which included a few familiar faces from your time at Hogwarts. You had never been part of Draco’s close circle, but you recognized some of the people he interacted with—a few former Slytherins and acquaintances from high society. As you mingled with the adults, Draco remained by your side, always keeping the conversation light but meaningful. He never strayed too far from you, often guiding you from one conversation to another.

At some point, the small party was treated to a delicious feast, complete with a large birthday cake for Scorpius. The little boy was overjoyed, practically bouncing in his seat, eagerly awaiting his turn to blow out the candles.

When the cake was finally served, Draco’s gaze lingered on you for just a second longer than necessary as you took your slice. It was subtle, but you couldn’t help but notice. There was something in his eyes—a warmth, a flicker of something more than the professional distance you had maintained in the workplace. You couldn’t decipher it fully, but it was enough to make your heart flutter.

After dessert, the children ran off to play with their new toys, and the adults started to gather in the living room, talking quietly amongst themselves. You found yourself standing near the window, enjoying the view of the stars beginning to emerge in the evening sky.

Draco appeared at your side, his presence comforting yet stirring in ways you hadn’t expected. “I’m glad you came,” he said quietly, his voice carrying the weight of more than just the words.

You met his gaze, unsure of how to respond. “It’s been… fun,” you said, the words almost feeling inadequate for the emotions swirling in your chest.

Draco’s lips twitched into a smile, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Maybe next time, you’ll come for the fun and not just the free food.”

You chuckled, feeling the tension between you both ease. “Maybe,” you replied softly.

For a moment, there was silence, comfortable and full of unspoken understanding. It wasn’t until Draco glanced at his watch that he spoke again.

“Thank you for coming, Y/N. It means a lot to both Scorpius and me.”

You looked up at him, feeling the warmth of his words settle in your chest. “It was my pleasure, Draco. Really.”

His favorite color is green- not because of Slytherin heritage, but because it reminds him of the maze outside the manor, green apples, and his childhood bedroom.

Draco's hobbies include reading, exercising, watching quidditch, and collecting.

Draco- until Astoria passed- was a "loving standby dad." He did everything he needed too, made it clear he loved Scorpius, doted on him, etc. But, he was never the parent that Scorpius went to. He worked backstage while Astoria starred- and he liked it that way.

He had a delayed rebellious phase after the war. He insisted on moving out, "living without an allowance" (Lucius insisted on sending him at least 100 galleons a month), paying for a shitty flat (he hated it), getting piercings, listening to muggle music, and more. In his older age, he once told Albus, "the only part I enjoyed, was meeting Astoria."

Speaking of Albus, Draco has a soft spot for him. He is grateful for Albus on Scorpius's behalf, but he also sees his younger self in Albus. They both have a complicated relationship with their dads, they both are somewhat dramatic, they have a tendency to isolate themself, and they both have deep values but struggle to properly express them. I may make a post about this later.

Draco actually has a job as a potioneer. It allows him to work at home and he can ship out potions to his employers- sort of like an Etsy shop.

Draco is a drama king. Oh Merlin forbid this man stub his toe. He lives for reality TV shows, gossip, and soap operas. In his rebellious phase, you better believe he was in all kinds of mess. Pansy did not help.

When Lucius passed he was left with the peacocks. He takes very good care of them, but they fight like siblings.

Summary: Draco is the head Healer at St Mungo's. You are the new Mediwitch that Draco can not help but slowly fall for you. You being oblivious to it all. -Both characters are 23 years old. Astoria is affected by the blood curse much earlier in her life. -

Part 1- Word count: 1,121

Warnings: None, Fluff,Scorpius (if kids are a trigger for some)

Its your first day of working as a MediWitch at St Mungo. You have studied and worked hard for this job and you did not want to blow it.

As you step out the lift, shaking with nerves and a million thoughts racing in your head you bump into someone, papers and files flying around you.

So much for not embarrassing myself on my first day you think.

Without looking up at the person you fall to the ground and start gathering everything "I-i'm so s-sorry" you stutter out still gathering all the persons things.

You fell the presence drop to the floor across from you, gathering the belongings too. "Its quite alright dear" a deep, husky voice says.

This is when you finally decided to look up at the man that you pumped into. Shit. Your boss and a former classmate. Draco fucking Malfoy.

"M-Mr Malofy. I'm so sorry." You say again finally standing up, him doing the same. You hand him his papers and press down your skirt that had made its way up your legs. You did not catch Draco's eyes lingering on your bare legs before finally snapping out of it and speaking.

"Y/n Y/l/n. Well its been quite a while since I have seen your face." He states playfully, fixing his tie.

You and Draco were not friends at school but you weren't enemies. You would be paired up with him for projects and would be nice to each other at parties. But other than that you guys were apart of two different worlds. You were not one that was caught up in all the mess of the war. You kept your distance from others just due to the amount of losses that many faced during the two wars.

You could not help the blush that started to grow. Just like all the other girls at Hogwarts you fancied Draco when you two were at school. And you could not notice he was still very attractive, now even more than when at school. Then you caught the attention of the gold ring on his ring finger. Of course you idiot. He's married. You think to yourself.

"You could say that Mr. Malfoy" you responded to him formally, he was still your boss.

He looked at you and cocked a brow "Mr.Malfoy? 1. That is a horrid of a father and 2. Why so formal Y/n?" he asks confused.

"Well you are my boss now and this is a working environment, so I have to be polite." You state.

Thats when something dawns across his face "Miss. Y/l/n. The new MediWitch. I thought the name sounded like something i've had in my mouth before, but i could not figure it out for the life of me."

You merely nod, wanted to go and find your post, not wanted to be looked down for being late on your first day. He goes to walk away in the opposite direction of you to the lift and you start to move to the nurse's station.

Not even two steps away you hear him clear his throat and you turn around.

"Where do you think you are going?" he asks

You are beyond confused "To the nurse's station."

He lets out a little chuckle, "I see. Your orders were not passed down to you then. You will be assisting me on my rounds and appointments."

You look at him shocked "O-oh okay." you yet again stammer, still standing in your place.

He moves aside and motions for you to come into the lift "Come on don't wanna be late for our first rounds together" and with that you made your way into the lift next to him not daring to meet his face.

But due to your actions, you missed Draco looking down at you fondly.

--------------------

After two weeks of your job

"Good morning Draco" you say as making your presence known to the blonde wizard as you put your bag down in his office.

After a few days of working with Draco you started to leave his bag in his office instead of the locker room. There wasn't anything wrong with the locker room you just started you day in his office.

"Good morning Y/n. I'm thinking today will be a slow day so I believe we can stay in here and you can help me complete paper work before the weekend." He responds as he separates the paper work into two piles for the both of you to work on. You take a seat in front of him and grab the paper work to start on. "Yes sir" you say jokingly and he sends you a stern look while grinning.

You and Draco have fallen into a easy and comfortable dynamic. It was like you two's relationship back in school but closer now. You really enjoyed his company. After the war you didn't have much friends, and you didn't know if what you and Draco had was a friendship but you will continue to pretend that you guys are friends.

You two stayed in a comfortable silence for a while and the paper work was getting done much faster. It was Friday and it was usually slow, so Draco preferred to get the paper work done so you both could have a free weekend. Draco requested that you work along side him so your scheduled allowed you the weekend off, even though you did not mind working on weekends.

The day went by quite fast. You two finished all the paper work by noon had a few check ups that were scheduled, but luckily there wasn't any emergencies.

You were now back in Draco's office collecting your bag and ready to head off for the weekend. "Is there anything else you would like me to complete before heading off for the weekend Draco?" you ask because you truly did not want to want anything to do this weekend.

"No, it looks like everything has been completed, but I do have a question for you Y/n" he states and you send him a questioning look. "Tomorrow at 2 I am hosting a small get together for my son, Scorpio's 5th birthday and if you are free would like for you to be in attendance. If you want to of course."

This request truly did take you by surprise. Draco had told you a few stories about his son. And as the fact that you did not have any children yourself the invitation was a shock, but you did love children and free food.

I absolutely adore Scorpius and dad Draco, I'll do this so happily! I'm adding onto these lists: Drarry + Scorpius & Draco and Scorpius are mutually protective

Fire Meet Gasoline by @lettersbyelise (62k)

When Draco’s anger management issues land him in St Mungo’s, he thinks his Quidditch career is over. But Harry, A&E Healer and notorious workaholic, is faced with a similar predicament. To save their jobs, the two of them decide to fake a relationship. All they have to do is convince their friends and employers… and not fall in love in the process. Simple, right?

Shibboleths by @lol-zeitgeistic (109k)

Muggle Immersion co-Professor Harry Potter spends his days hanging with his son, reading to his “dog,” teaching magical kids about the internet with his cousin Dudley, and irritating Snape’s portrait. He’s understandably annoyed when his cosy life is interrupted by the Headmistress hiring on Draco Malfoy to be Hogwarts’ new Ancient Magical Cultures and Spellcasting professor. But then the explosion happens, and it turns out they’ll all need Malfoy’s knowledge if they want the magical world to survive. The one with the scary things and Professor Dudley.

Harry Potter: DILF Hunter by @vukovich (11k)

Auror Potter doesn't know what a DILF is, but if Malfoy's one, then Harry's gonna be the Ministry's best DILF Hunter ever!

Or, five times Harry heard Draco was a DILF, and one time he found it to be pleasantly true.

Freedom to be by @quicksilvermaid (169k)

Harry Potter is the Boy Who Lived. 12 years after the war, he's become the Boy Who Lived For Everyone Else. He has the perfect wife. The perfect house. The perfect job. The perfect friends. Only nothing feels perfect. Until one day he stumbles across a club called Release and begins a journey of self-discovery that takes him to a very different place.

Take the Moon by @tackytigerfic (15k)

Harry Potter has always wanted a family of his own, and when a deadly blood curse forces him into a marriage bond with his best friend Draco Malfoy, it looks like he might just have found one. Living with Draco (biscuit-lover, no work/life balance, good hair) and his son Scorpius (also biscuit-lover, colour-codes his bricks, proud bearer of plastic swan-shaped garden ornament) gives Harry the routine and companionship he’s always craved. There’s also the matter of the really great sex (because what’s a marriage of convenience without a little fun, after all?) It's just a shame they’d always planned to break up after a year… This isn't the story of the marriage. This is the story of two hurt and damaged men who learned how hard they could work for the sake of love.

Play Dates by @bixgirl1 (7k)

Harry never thought seeing Malfoy as a dad would affect him this way.

All I Want For Christmas (Is For You To Stop Talking) by @femmequixotic and @noeeon (162k)

The Niffler's Garden is the most prestigious wizarding nursery school in England and has been for the last century or more. Harry Potter's boys are both enrolled as pupils at the Garden. When he volunteers to assist with the Yule pageant, he has no idea that he'll be working closely with another parent, Draco Malfoy. Although they haven't seen each other much since their own school days, Harry faults Malfoy for not being a hands-on dad to little Scorpius. Will the intense weeks of preparation fan the fires of enmity or something else entirely?

Harry Potter's biggest fan by @gnarf (9k)

Ever since Scorpius heard about Harry Potter for the first time from one of his friends, one could say that he was his biggest fan. So naturally, it would be the thing he needs to talk about while visiting his grandparents for Sunday dinner. Draco's father could not hold back the comments on why he had to go through this again, and Scorpius understood just enough to know that his father actually knew Harry Potter in person. That's when the pestering started. Not much later and Draco found himself face to face with Potter, all thanks to his son.

In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning by @sassy-cissa (16k)

Fourteen years ago Harry and Draco had one night together. It takes a stunt from Scorpius to bring them back together.

Harry Potter and the Great Cat Caper by @kbrick (78k)

Harry’s lonely in the aftermath of his divorce. Except for the weekends that he has the kids, Harry’s cooking gourmet meals for one in his big, empty farmhouse, with only his seven cats for company. Until, that is, Harry finds Al and Lily playing with Scorpius Malfoy in the front yard, and learns that Draco Malfoy is his closest wizarding neighbor. Oh, and also, Harry’s favorite cat is stolen (multiple times!) by someone who had the audacity to put a sparkly pink collar on her, with a nametag that reads “Plumeria Seraphin Snugglybug”. These things (Malfoy and the cat-snatching) may or may not be related. Featuring: a cat-loving Harry who loves to cook, has playdates with Pansy Parkinson, and tends to rap when he’s wasted, and good-dad Draco Malfoy who’s still a prat, albeit an irritatingly attractive and charming one. Also featuring: a slew of adorable children, a stolen cat named Stormy, copious amounts of sexual tension, divorce betting pools, amoral yet charismatic Slytherins, peeping-tom Harry, foot massages given while under the influence, Harry’s first time with a bloke, and did I mention cats?

Our Time by @m0srael (39k)

Draco Malfoy is an expert in Ancient Runes at Oxford University’s College of Advanced Magical Studies. When he isn’t at the head of a lecture hall, he spends his time alone in cavernous libraries with only crumbling scrolls and runic dictionaries for company. One day, a group of Ministry officials interrupts his research with the aim of recruiting him to lead an elite team of investigators in a top-secret race against time to decrypt a set of recently uncovered ancient runes that threaten the very fabric of time. Draco feels certain he can save the world, if only he didn’t keep getting distracted by his co-lead, one Chief Cursebreaker Harry Potter. If only that distraction didn’t evolve into something so much more.

Harry is met with blinding pain and Draco Malfoy. And Draco Malfoy's beautiful son. And suddenly a family is something that seems very within Harry's reach.

Misunderstandings are as easy as A-B-C by @veelawings (3k)

A slow blink and Potter seemed to catch himself, clearing his throat and nodding, his smile friendly and bright when directed at Scorpius and Draco. “Hey Mal—” “Mr Potter,” Draco spoke up rudely, but necessary. “This is my son, Scorpius Black. He’ll be one of your students this year.” Potter looked completely wrongfooted for a few seconds before his mind appeared to latch onto the most likely conclusion. His expression cleared up as Scorpius took a step forward and offered a tiny hand. “Hello, Mr Potter. It’s nice to meet you,” Scorpius said, enunciation steady and practiced.

Harry and Malfoy shagged. But it’s fine, Harry doesn’t have feelings for him or anything. Yet he isn’t too thrilled when Malfoy gets hired as a Sports Therapist for Harry’s team – Puddlemere United. Of course, he gives massages. And of course, Harry has to bear witness to Malfoy making player after player groan in pleasure.
