This is my first multi chapter fic for a Rose and Scorpius fic so I hope you like.

A/N: This first chapter is an introduction to a promise Scorpius made before he started Hogwarts which will tie in with the story.

I don't own HP :(

Scorpius Malfoy was lying on his bed, reading a book Rose had given him entitled "Library of the Dead". He had asked to read it after she had gone on about how wonderful it was but he honestly couldn't see why she liked those types of books. Closing the book, he opened his top drawer to put it away and caught a glimpse of the photograph he had hidden in there, the photograph of his grandmother. She had died the previous Christmas, two years after his grandfather but he had always been much closer to Narcissa than he had been to Lucius. He had looked up to her as a child, especially after everything she had told him. Scorpius let a few tears escape as he thought about her, she was the reason he was where he was, the reason why he never judged anyone but more importantly, she was the reason he could be best friends with Rose Weasley.

Scorpius was sitting with his grandmother in the conservatory of her house, away from the judgemental attitude of his grandfather. He was staying there for a few days over the summer before he started Hogwarts, not that he minded this much but he never had been close to his grandfather. That day Lucius had started rambling on about Muggleborns and half bloods (he could never bring himself to say the words his grandfather used) and Scorpius had found Narcissa in the conservatory rather upset.

"What's wrong?" Scorpius asked

Narcissa looked up and instantly tried to wipe away her tears and put on the outer shell of complete serenity but it was too late, Scorpius already knew that something was wrong.

"Sometimes past mistakes come back to hurt you in strange ways." She said quietly

Scorpius looked at her inquisitively, he knew what had happened in the past with the War and how she had risked her life to try and protect his father but he could not understand what could possibly make her so upset.

"Did you know I have another sister?" She asked him and Scorpius shook his head, "Her name is Andromeda."

Scorpius remained confused, neither his father or grandfather ever mentioned her having another sister, only Bellatrix.

"I loved her very much when I was younger." Narcissa explained, "I was too naïve to really see what was really going on at the time, the night when she left."

"She left home?"

"Forced out." Narcissa answered, "Do you know why your parents and myself no longer judge a person because of their lineage?"

Scorpius shook his head again

"I lost my sister because of it all." Narcissa continued explaining, "Dromeda was so clever and beautiful when she was at Hogwarts, everyone believed she could have any pure blood she wished but she didn't see it that way. She fell in love with a Muggleborn wizard and our family abandoned her, even me."

Scorpius looked at her speechless, not quite knowing how to comprehend what she was telling him. He knew some pure blood families disowned their children for associating with people who they did not deem acceptable but he had never realised his own family had done so.

"At first I hated her, felt like she betrayed me after what I been brought up to believe in. My heart completely shattered when she left home, thinking that she no longer cared for me."

"What happened to her?"

"She was happy." Came her answer, "She looked so genuinely happy when I walked past her once with her daughter but I just pretended like she didn't exist. It took a War to make me realise exactly what was most important to me and Andromeda lost almost everyone she cared about during that time. I spoke to her just before you were born, tried to make amends but I was too late. Andromeda couldn't look at me but I suppose seeing me just reminds her that Bella took away her only daughter."

"Have you ever seen her again?" Scorpius asked curiously

"Only once." Narcissa admitted, "There has just been too much happen in the past for us to ever have that kind of bond again."

Scorpius noticed that she was crying again and gave her a small hug, he was only a child but he knew that no Malfoy ever really showed their emotions.

"I miss her every day you know." Narcissa said, "I wish I could go back and change everything and have both my sisters back and be like we once were. You grandfather doesn't quite understand that I do still love my sister, he just can't change everything he has ever believed in, even after everything that has happened."

Narcissa kissed Scorpius on the top of his head and smiled sadly at him, he was still just an innocent child but he would always have to carry the burden of their families past mistakes with his name. She knew Scorpius was well mannered and Draco had brought him up so well contrary to his own upbringing by his father.

"Promise me something Scorpius."

"Anything for you."

"Promise me that you'll never judge anyone for what they are." She said, "Whether that be blood, personality or even their outer appearance. You never know who you will push away in life by doing so and I don't want you to make the same mistakes in life."

"I promise." Scorpius whispered.

He had kept his promise to her when he had started Hogwarts and had met Rose. He knew he should care and it was expected of him from lots of people to be enemies with her due to everything that had happened. His promise to her helped him make friends with people who by all accounts he should have avoided but he didn't care. Scorpius may have been a Malfoy but he was nothing like his family.
