A/N: I am terribly sorry for not posting recently. Something of a writer's block and limited time from a laptop. I am having severe writer's block with my other story Revenge and I have decided I might not continue...it all depends. Anyway here is another one. I know this chapter is very short but I'll make up for it in the next chapter. More undates soon. I promise.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
A tug at her pants leg alerted Hermione of another person's presence in the room. She glanced down at the chortling toddler and felt her lips tugging into a smile. She bent down and picked up Scorpius, placing him on her left hip. His pale skin was milky and always warm, his wispy hair the same white – blonde shade as his father yet Hermione's wavy hair found its way to her son. His eyes weren't silver neither brown rather a peculiar shade of hazel that changed with his moods. His smile was wide and in the middle of the bottom gum were two white lumps. Hermione peered closely at them then smiled.
"Scorpius, you're teething. Poor you!" He cocked his head to the side then began to gurgle and clap his hands, the baby toy rattling rather loudly. A rapid tapping at the window sounded throughout the room drawing her attention to the large owl looking rather huffy about itself.
She opened the window and let the owl in, letting it nibble some owl snacks out from her hand. Scorpius leaned down and began to stroke – rather hit – the owl on the head. Hermione swatted his hand away playfully then stroked the owl's neck. She untied the parcel from the owl's leg and watched it stretch its wings importantly then fly out the window.
Scorpius gurgled again, dribble splattering around his mouth. Hermione gently wiped them away then set him on the bench. He looked intently at the package then at Hermione. She picked up the letter attached to the parcel then broke open the seal – a dragon curled around in a circle.
Granger,
I have enclosed 100 Galleons for the use of my son. Considering that it is his birthday, I will visit later today. The parcel is for you as I will bring Scorpius' present this evening.
Draco
Hermione read the letter then glanced at Scorpius, who was playing with the wrapper of the parcel.
"Guess what? Your daddy's coming today!" she announced to him. He looked up then smiled. "Dada." He gurgled. She gave a wry smile. "Yes, Dada is coming today for your birthday."
