your mother was the p e r f e c t lady

all fine j e w e l r y and dainty hand gestures

she f l o a t e d, Scorp, I swear

she glided across the room

and introduced herself

I'm Astoria, Scorpius's mother

Lovely to meet you dear

He's told me so much about you

then you blushed

and you blush gracefully

not like me

i turned into a bloody tomato when she said

And you sound like such a lovely girl

Beautiful too, just like he said in the letters

and then your father joined us

and he smiled

and nearly gave me a

heart

attack

not because he's handsome

{but he is}

{like you}

{don't worry I'm not going to seduce him or anything}

but because he hates my dad

yet he smiled kindly at me

the s p a w n of his school rival

{I heard him call me that when you fire called him}

{"the female spawn of Potter"}

{so don't you dare act like it's a new phrase to you}

and he introduced himself

I'm Draco, Scorpius's father

Pleasure, I'm sure

and thatwasthat

we were seated for dinner

{5 bloody courses, Scorp. I'm never going to be skinny for summer}

and we chatted casually about

t h i s and t h a t

and|all|things|in|between

your mother is lovely

really she is

especially when she

d

r

o

p

s

the

posh

uptight

p u r e b l o o d

thing she has going on

when she laughs f r e e l y

and says what's on her mind

she reminds me of you

and you fathers a great bloke after a

f

e

w

{ten}

glasses of f i r e whiskey

when he forgets he's a Malfoy

and listens to great grandpa 'brax

{I do love that bloke}

he says that I'm p r e t t y

inside and out

and that I'm the s p i t t i n g image of my mother

{even though I'm not, right?}

{right?}

and that if I make you happy

he's happy

because

that's

what

he

wants

all that he wants

he wants his only son to have the f r e e d o m he didn't have

then he told me a

s.e.c.r.e.t

when you were o f f

helping your mother

{cutie}

and I'm not sure if I should tell you or not

it's not like he made me p-r-o-m-i-s-e not to tell you

merlin no

but it just might make things a bit

a w k w a r d

between you two

ready?

okay

he told me that he had a crush on my aunthermione

{ROSES MUM}

B a c k i n t h e d a y

and was always a little shit to her because of what Lucius told him

soyeah

a~w~k~w~a~r~d

{leave the bloody turtle out of this, Scorp!}

but anyway

they l i k e d me

I think

which is the main thing

so maybe when we tell them we're engaged

it won't be too big a deal

right?
