Floo Call at the Malfoys
"Mum! Dad! I made a friend today!"
Astoria gave her husband a look. See, what'd I tell you? And you were worried.
Draco smiled. Fine, you were right. "That's great, son. So who's your friend?"
"Albus Severus Potter!"
Draco choked on his tea. "Wh-wh-what?" He stammered like a git before he managed to say, "But - WHY?"
Scorpius did not seem to find this question strange. "Because he's the only other student in the entire school who has a name as horrible as mine!" he said happily. "Oh, there's Albus now! I'm gonna go, talk to you later!"
With a pop Scorpius's head disappeared from the fireplace.
Draco looked at his wife.
She shrugged. "You brought that one on yourself, dear," she said, sipping her tea.
