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?
