Dedicated to my sister, whose first word was "pool," and to my uncle whose first word was also four letters… but isn't something we intentionally teach kids
"Puuurrrr-uuurrr!"
"Your son is purring," Lucius ground out.
"Our son is merely imitating his father. All your statistics! Gallons per week, mudbloods eradicated per month. He'll be just like you when he grows up. Won't you, Drac-co?" She turned to coo at her happily purring son.
"He sounds like an animal," Lucius glanced away, a slight indent by his cheek giving away that he was holding back a scowl.
"Pur-ur!" Draco insisted, throwing away the toy wand Daddy offered as a bribe to quiet down.
"Quit being so petty. Like a child sometimes, honestly, Lucius. Pouting makes the resemblance so much stronger; he really is you in miniature."
"Are you implicating that I would purr? I assure you, by his age I was already showing interest in my father's affairs."
"Oh, please! At ten months- how, exactly?"
As Lucius opened his mouth to respond, Draco screwed up his now-red face and shouted.
"Pu-ure!"
Silence fell.
Narcissa picked up her little pureblood, "So you are, my little Draco! His first word: pure. You'll be a fine young man in no time at all: the envy of other parents, of classmates, of all!"
As Lucius nodded, a satisfied smile graced his lips.
For the record, Lucius is exaggerating; he neither believes nor wants anyone else to believe that he was capable of slaughtering muggle borns before his first birthday. Narcissa just takes him too seriously.
This one was 200 words, and left off nothing I felt the need to say. On the other hand, I cut out nothing, so it's not just the core of the message, nor is it all that funny.
I know it wasn't really a sequel, but I'm a bit blocked about that. So any suggestions for a follow up to "Pffft!" would be appreciated. Even ridiculous or silly ones- just enough to get me off the ground, creatively speaking.
