A/N: Please read no further if you aren't looking for Cursed Child spoilers.

My interpretation of the play (in order to sleep at night) is that Draco has distanced himself from his parents after the disagreement with Lucius over marrying Astoria. After the events of the play, however, when he realizes how important parent-child relationships are, he realizes he's made some mistakes and wants to right them. (I kept reading waiting for a scene in which he does so, but it wasn't there. So theslytherinrose and I decided to fix it by adding an epilogue to the story that is effectively the epilogue to the Deathly Hallows epilogue.) This will have three scenes, spread out over three chapters, and it will seek to tie up some of the loose ends regarding the Malfoys and Delphi. x

EPILOGUE, SCENE ONE

MALFOY MANOR, WILTSHIRE

NARCISSA sits by the window in the drawing room, looking outside. The Daily Prophet lies open in her lap, the headline reading "VOLDEMORT'S DAUGHTER APPREHENDED, MALFOY VINDICATED." LUCIUS sits beside her.

NARCISSA: One can only hope this will remind him. (She sighs.)

LUCIUS: He'll come around. (He touches her hand.) How could he forget how he was raised?

NARCISSA: How could he forget everything? (She looks down at his hand on hers.) We tried so hard to keep him safe. How could that mean nothing?

LUCIUS: He's disillusioned. I don't think he knows what he's doing. (He looks down as well and squeezes her hand.) He'll come around.

NARCISSA: (She lays her other hand on top of his and smiles faintly.) I truly hope he will. I want to see our grandson, Lucius. It isn't fair. What does Draco think we're going to do, if we see Scorpius?

LUCIUS: I want to see him too, Cissy. (He sighs.) I just don't know what's come over him. He went through the war with us. He knows what happened. After Azkaban… (He shakes his head, his gaze growing distant.)

NARCISSA: (Leaning closer, clearly worried) Are you all right, my love?

LUCIUS: (Snapping out of it and meeting her eyes.) Yes, yes, I'm fine. I just hope that he remembers that time. We certainly do.

NARCISSA: (Frowning) Yes, we do. Are you… remembering, again? Can I do something to help you? (She squeezes his hand between her own.)

LUCIUS:I was, for a moment. I'm all right, darling. Don't worry about me. (He pats her hand.) I'm not the one you should be worrying about.

NARCISSA: I've done very little other than worry about Draco since the last time we saw him. (She holds still for a moment, clearly struggling, and then leans against his shoulder.) What if we tried to write him again? Do you think he would…? No, that's not going to help.

(LUCIUS scoots closer and wraps his arm around NARCISSA, kissing the top of her head.)

LUCIUS: We've tried that too many times to expect it to work now. I suppose all we have to do now is wait, and hope that he comes around. He clearly doesn't want to return our letters.

NARCISSA: (Closing her eyes.) I suppose he doesn't. I wish it didn't hurt so deeply. I… you know all of it already. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be sulking.

LUCIUS: (Angrily.) You have every right to be upset, Narcissa. What he's done to us, to you, is nearly unforgivable. If he weren't our son… (He trails off.)

NARCISSA: (Lifting her head to look at him.) Thank you. (She pauses.) He is, though, and I would do anything if it would make him remember that.

LUCIUS: I know. I feel the same way.

(LUCIUS begins to say something else, but is interrupted by the sound of someone arriving by Floo. LUCIUS and NARCISSA look up, and LUCIUS stands.)

LUCIUS: (Suspiciously, drawing his wand.) Stay here, Cissy. I won't have you put in danger if it's another Auror. They've given us enough trouble already. (He exits.)

NARCISSA: (Leaning forward in her seat, calling after him.) If anything goes wrong, call for me. I don't want them hurting you again. (She sighs and closes her eyes, lowering her face into her hands.)
