Prologue

"James. I just can't do it. I can't take care of this baby, "said a fifteen year old girl sitting down on the couch in front of her brother.

"Have you put any effort in trying Destiny," said James. James Potter had gotten and unexpected visit from his little sister and nephew who was upstairs with Lilly and his own son Harry.

"Yes. I've put effort in it. I'm just not ready for all this motherhood," said Destiny.

"Should have thought about that before you slept with his father," replied James.

"You think this was planned. Do you think I had any of this in mind," hissed Destiny.

"Des calm down," James said getting up and sitting next to his sister. "You're probably just stressed. I'm sure in a couple months everything going to be fine,"

"James you said that to me three months ago and it still hasn't gotten better. I'm starting to think that having Draco was a mistake," Destiny said.

"What so you're starting to think the abortion was the right thing to do," said James angrily.

"No. You know how I hate the idea of abortion but I am starting to think that adoption was the best shot," said Destiny and added quietly. "And still is,"

"What do you mean "and still is"," James said.

"I've been thinking over the summer and I've made a decision that would be good for me and him," Destiny started.

"And that is,"

"Giving him up for adoption," said Destiny.

"What? Are you crazy," yelled James standing up. "You honestly think that you giving him up for adoption is going to be good for you?"

"It's for both-" started Destiny before she was interrupted.

"Oh cut the shit. You're doing this because you don't care a damn about him,"

"That's not true," hissed Destiny standing up to face her brother. "I do care but I can't take care of him like you and Lilly can take care of Harry. Unlike you two I'm still in school. I have my whole life in front of me. I'm only fifteen. Do you think I want to be stuck in my dormitory all day because of a baby? I have friends. I have a life and-"

"So that's it. You don't want him because you want a life," James yelled. Destiny was quiet for a minute until she replied.

"Yes and I'm not going to lie to myself or you," said Destiny. "I want a life and Draco just isn't fitting into it," James mouth went dry when she said that. She was pretty much saying that she didn't want her son without saying it. Before James could answer back, Lily came into the room.

"What's going on in here? I had to put up a silencing charm so Harry and Draco wouldn't wake up," Lilly said. James closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He then turned to his wife.

"Guess what Lil's. Destiny's giving Draco up for adoption," he said through gritted teeth. Lilly didn't give a surprised look of shock which was what he was expecting but instead she let out a sigh.

"Wait you knew?" James asked.

"Destiny hadn't told me straight to my face but I was expecting it," said Lilly.

"So you agree on what she's doing. I can't believe my own wife agrees on what she's doing," said James sitting on the couch.

"I'm not saying I agree with it because I don't," Lilly said. "All I'm saying is that I saw it coming and James you would have to be blind not see it coming either,"

"Okay. I might have seen it coming somewhat but I actually didn't think she'd go through with it," said James and then looking at Destiny. "That's your son and you just want to give him up like that. I could never imagine myself doing something like that with Harry. No matter what the situation was,"

"But I'm not you James," Destiny said. "It's not working out the way I thought it would and this is the only option I see left and even if you don't agree with it I'm still going through with it but it would make me feel a lot better if you at least give me your consent,"

James was quiet for a while. His mind just couldn't wrap around the fact that she was going to give him up for adoption. He wouldn't have been such against the idea if she was going to give it to some relative but him and Destiny where the last Potters. All their other relatives were either dead or they had dropped the last name Potter because of Voldemort. James knew he and Lilly couldn't take him in because of the situation with Harry and he wasn't going to put his nephew in danger like his son was already in.

"James," said Destiny. James looked over at his sister and frowned. He'd never admit but he knew his sister wasn't prepared to take care of a baby. It had nothing to with financial because the Potters were loaded but it had to do mentally. How ould she raise a child when she still acted like one herself.

James sighed. He couldn't believe he was about to say this but they had no another way.

"Fine," he mumbled. "I'll give you my consent but I still don't agree with this,"

"Thank you," said Destiny giving him a tight hug and kissing him on the cheek. Lilly smiled at the scene but then thought about something.

"Wait. What does Ellion think about this?" asked Lilly ignoring James growl when she mentioned his name. Ellion was the nineteen year old father of Destiny's child. When he found out she was pregnant, he really didn't care. He'd support her financially with the baby however needed to but told her not to expect her in the baby's life.

However he was at the hospital when Destiny had the baby and even named it which Lilly thought was sweet and made her think that Ellion cared about the baby more than he was letting on. This speculation only intensified when Lilly had caught him down in the nursery for the newborns and he was just watching Draco with this curious expression. Her husband and his friends however thought nothing of it. Even Remus who was the most reasonable one in the group was with James on that one.

"He's fine with it," answered Destiny and then continued. "He said he expected it. Ellion doesn't want to raise the baby either and has already found a family we can give it up to,"

"He has. Who?" asked Lilly starting to think that Destiny had this planned for a while now?

"His brother," said Destiny quietly.

"What," yelled James.

"James calm down," Lilly said.

"I will not calm down. I'm already letting you give Draco up for adoption but you really think I'm going to be all happy with my nephew being raised by a death eater. You must be crazy,"

"James. They're the only choice," Destiny said. "You all can't take him. Who else is there?"

"Why don't you give him up to a muggle family or another magical family," James said.

"That won't work," Destiny and Lilly said together.

"Why?" asked James.

"Because James. There are some muggle families like my sister who think we're freaks. Imagine what a muggle family might do when they can't explain some of the things he'll do when he's older. They could go as far as getting him an exorcism and we don't want that," Lilly said. "And I'm pretty sure Ellions against the idea,"

"Yeah he is. I asked him about it and he said he wasn't going to let some filthy muggle raise his offspring," said Destiny.

"Another magical family," James said.

"He's not going to take the chances of half bloods and muggleborns raising him. He wants him to grow up with pureblood ways," said Destiny rolling her eyes.

"For someone who's only seen his child only five times, he sure does care about his upbringing," James said dryly.

"James this is the option we have left. I'm sure Narcissa is going to be really good to Draco and besides Ellion told me that Narcissa had a miscarriage again a couple of weeks ago. She'll be really happy that she's going to have baby finally even if it isn't exactly hers,"

"Narcissa isn't the one I'm worried about. It's Lucius," James said darkly.

"I know but it's all we have," said Destiny. It was complete silence for a while until James spoke.

"Fine," he mumbled.

"Thanks," James said kissing his cheek. "Well I better go. I have to meet Ellion. He's taking Draco to her brother's,"

"So soon," said Lilly.

"I had this planned for a while. I decided I'd tell you the night I was going to give Draco to Ellion so James couldn't try to stop me or get reinforcement from Sirius, Remus, and Peter," Destiny said with a small smile.

"Smart move," said James. "Because if I had the chance I would have,"

"Well I'll go get the boys," said Lilly.

"It's okay. I'll get them," Destiny offered and walked up the stairs to Harry's room. He entered the room to see Harry and Draco playing with toys in Harry's crib.

"What are two doing?" Destiny asked as she came towards the crib.

"Desy,' Harry cried out happily.

"How's my favorite nephew," Destiny said picking Harry up.

"Me up. Me up," Draco said commandingly, when he saw Harry in Destiny's arms.

"Well aren't you the jealous type," said Destiny shifting Harry on her hip and placing Draco on her other one.

"Mommy," Draco said snuggling up to her. She gave a small smile. Destiny then went downstairs to James and Lilly. She gave Harry to Lilly.

"Well I better go," said Destiny.

"You sure you want to go through with this," said James.

"Yeah. This way Draco can have all the attention he needs which I can't give to him," Destiny said. She walked into the fireplace and then vanished.

"Desy, Drakie,' said Harry.

"They've gone bye bye honey," said Lilly.

"I hope she's doing the right thing," James said from behind Lilly with his arms folded.

"Me too," agreed Lilly.

…

Destiny appeared in the Leaky cauldron and stepped out. After brushing soot off of her and a sleeping Draco, she walked out onto the streets of Diagon Alley and towards the street that separated Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley.

"Ellion, Ellion," whispered Destiny.

"Late as usual," said a calm and silky voice. She looked up to see Ellion step out of the shadows. She had to stop from swooning over him. Even though he was pretty much a jerk, he was very handsome.

"So did you bring him," Ellion said in his usual bored voice.

"Yes," Destiny said. Part of her knew what she was doing was selfish but she just couldn't see Draco fitting into her life. "Here," She stepped up towards Ellion and gave him the baby. He turned to leave but Destiny caught his arm.

"Wait," Destiny took a chain out of her jean pocket and put it around her son's neck. "So he'll at least have something from the mother he'll never know," She then stepped back. Ellion looked at her for a moment and then said.

"By doing this you're giving up all custody rights to me and the only way you could ever come back into his life would be if I permit it," he said.

"I know," said Destiny quietly. Destiny felt her eyes start to water but she kept herself from crying. She was doing the right thing.

"If it makes you feel any better. I'll try to prevent him from getting too involved in all this stuff with the dark lord," Ellion said. Destiny nodded. Ellion then kissed her softly on the lips which surprised Destiny greatly. He pulled away from her with no hint of emotion on his face and then turned around and apparated way.

For some reason Destiny couldn't help but feel she was making the biggest mistake of her life but she quickly dismissed it. This was for the best. She'd have her life while Draco would have his. They'd both be better without each other.

Well theirs the revised version of chapter one. I actually like this one better than the other. I wanted to change Destiny's view on giving up Draco because this is going to play a role in the story.
