NGC Recs Self-Reflection (Literally)

Summary
He opens his eyes, and stares up at the canopy of the four poster bed he's in. It takes a second, his vision is a bit blurry, but it clears up quick enough.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
Part of Jason keeps the count going, while the rest of him kind of just...seizes. Because he knows this canopy. He knows the the posts it's attached to. He—fuck—he knows the notch in the bottom left post he'd put in it when he'd stolen one of Bruce's batarangs when he was twelve and thrown it around like the stupid kid he'd been.
This was Jason's room.
Or, the one where Jason gets zapped with magic, wakes up in his teenage body, and decides to let the timeline know exactly how fucked it is. He also becomes the president of the Tim Drake Appreciation Club.

Summary
Honestly, it was an accident. The magical artifact was warded and locked away, but one curious child managed to get to it and found himself thrown into the past.
That's how Draco came to find a tiny blonde boy with emerald eyes staring up at him, the Room of Requirement having shifted into the boy's home. The pictures on the wall and keepsakes on the shelves hint at something Draco isn't quite ready to face.
Draco has a mission to be carried out, but he can't just abandon the boy who clings to him, calling to him softly.
The Vanishing Cabinet can wait.
He somehow has to figure out how to get his future son back to where he belongs.
Oh, and Harry fucking Potter has to get involved, as always.
Salazar, help him.
