A Potter and a Malfoy
Chapter 1: forbidden friendship
Once Harry and Ginny had kissed on the lips, they knew they had made the right decision in marrying each other. They looked into each others eyes and hugged each other, Ginny with tears of happiness in her eyes. Harry's eyes were glowing a bright green.
Nothing could be better. Voldemort was gone, Ron was going to marry Hermione, and Fred and George were in excellent business.
Harry and Ginny had been married for ten years now. They had four kids: Lydia, Cooper, Talia, and Jadyn, in order from youngest to oldest.
It was early in the morning. Harry woke up to the smell of dung. He went outside of the room and found Lydia setting off some dung bombs.
"Lydia?" Harry asked. Lydia looked up, an innocent smile on her face.
"Hi, Daddy." Lydia said in her fake sweet tone.
"What are you doing up?" Harry asked.
Lydia looked down at the dung bombs and stepped in front of them. "I couldn't sleep."
"What's behind you?" Harry asked.
"Nothing." Lydia said. Harry picked her up and saw the dung bombs.
"Young lady, you needn't be setting off dung bombs this early." Harry said.
"Ew, what stinks?" Jadyn had come out of his room, a finger holding his nose.
"Your sister set off dung bombs, now go back to sleep." Harry said. Jadyn went back into his room. Harry took out his wand and the dung bombs disappeared. He held Lydia close to him.
"Why couldn't you sleep?" he asked Lydia.
"I had a bad dream." Lydia said.
"What was it about?"
"That mean old Malfoy person you keep talking about. He came and tried to take us away. So I set off the dung bombs to scare him."
"Only that part wasn't in your dream." Harry said, "Where did you get the dung bombs from, anyway?"
"Uncle Fred and George." Lydia said.
"Lydia, you need to go back to sleep. In your room this time." Harry said.
"Okay, Daddy, g'night." Lydia said. She kissed Harry on the cheek, Harry let her down, and she went to her room.
Finally, it was the right time in the morning to be up. And they certainly had an early visitor. Ginny got the door. She peeked through the peep hole and didn't make a sound. Harry came up to her.
"Why is the door closed?" he asked.
"It's Malfoy and Parkinson! And they have a kid with them!" Ginny whispered.
"Oh, man." Harry said, "Don't answer the door!"
"What do you think? I'll just let them in? Look, get the kids upstairs to their rooms. It's easiest."
"Right." Harry said. He told all the kids to get upstairs. They did so, Lydia putting up a tiny fight but going in the end.
The doorbell rang again. Ginny hesitated.
"Should we answer it?" Ginny asked.
"I guess so." Harry said. Ginny opened the door and there stood Malfoy and Parkinson. They had a kid with them about Cooper's age. She was a girl with very pretty blonde hair down to her waist, completely straight.
"Ah, Potter, long time, no see." Malfoy said.
"Malfoy." Harry said stiffly.
"Yes, we need to have a business chat." Malfoy said, "May we come in?"
Harry looked at Ginny. Ginny nodded. Harry nodded. Malfoy entered with Parkinson and the kid.
"So, you brought the family." Harry said.
"Couldn't leave our kid at home, no one was there to watch her." Parkinson said.
"I'm old enough to watch myself, thank you very much." The girl said.
"Her name is Khoe." Malfoy said.
"Nice to meet you, Khoe." Ginny said
"Mrs. Potter." Khoe said stiffly.
"Well, right, lets get down to business." Malfoy said. They all sat down on the couch. Then something started to stink and Harry heard something falling down the stairs.
"Lydia!" Ginny yelled.
"I didn't do it! I promise!" Lydia said.
"Cooper!" Ginny yelled.
"Sorry, mom, must have escaped my room." Cooper said, a grin on his face. He had Harry's hair and Ginny's eyes. He was who Lydia took off of, the troublemaking and all.
"Get down here, now." Ginny said calmly. Cooper shrugged and went downstairs.
"We have company, Cooper." Ginny said.
"And I'm making them feel at home." Cooper said. He looked at Khoe. "Hey, I'm Cooper, want to go upstairs and hang out with us?"
"Yeah." Khoe said. She made to follow Cooper upstairs but Malfoy held her back.
"I don't want you hanging out with that Potter filth." He said. Khoe nodded grimly and sat back down. Cooper watched her for a moment and then went back upstairs.
"Now, as your head of the aurors office…" Malfoy said.
"If you're looking for a job, I'm afraid I can't give it to any former death eaters." Harry said.
"We're desperate." Malfoy said.
"I'm sorry." Harry said.
"I know that we were enemies in school but…" Malfoy said.
"No is no, Malfoy," Harry said, "And we can't just give the job to anyone."
"Then we'll just leave. Come on Pansy, Khoe." Malfoy said. He and Pansy got up to leave but Khoe wasn't there.
"What did you do with my daughter, Potter?" Malfoy demanded.
"Why would I do anything with your daughter, Malfoy?"
Meanwhile, upstairs, Cooper and Khoe were hiding.
"It doesn't look like our parents get along." Khoe said.
"I've heard Dad talk about your parents," Cooper said, "He said they were supporters of You-Know-Who."
"Well, not really," Khoe said, "My grandpa was put under the Imperius Curse and when the spell was taken off of him, he was too scared to back out. And then You-Know-Who told him to get his son in the Death Eater group. So Grandpa forced Daddy to get in with the Death Eaters. You don't know how happy of a moment it was with us when You-Know-Who died. We were freed of his clutches."
"Whoa. I never knew that," Cooper said. He turned away. Then, he heard footsteps coming up the stairs, "They're coming! Come on, I know the best hiding spot! My dad magicked it on accident and had no idea! We can go farther into the closet and they won't be able to see us!"
So they walked deeper into the closet. As they were in there, they were in just a plain white room. It was filled with a bunch of jokes and everything.
"My Uncles own the joke store in Diagon Alley. This is where they store all their stuff. This is where Lydia and I get our supplies for pulling off pranks."
"You're a funny kid, Potter." Khoe said.
"And to think, only a couple more years until we get to go to Hogwarts."
"I can't wait that long until I get to see you again." Khoe said.
"Okay. Where do you live?" Cooper asked.
"A couple of streets away."
"Do your parents let you go to the park alone?"
"Yeah."
"We can meet there every Sunday!" Cooper said. Khoe's face lit up with excitement.
"Ooh! When will we start?"
"The closest Sunday from today!" Cooper said.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow."
"Time can never go by fast enough." Cooper said. Khoe laughed. They both looked at each other and leaned in close. Their lips were extremely close to each other.
"Cooper!" Talia screamed. Cooper looked up and saw his older sister.
"Who told you the way into here?" Cooper asked.
"Lydia. Now get up, Mum and Dad are looking for you." Talia said. Then, Talia looked at Khoe, who was blushing. "Is that a Malfoy?"
"Yeah, so?" Cooper asked.
"I'm telling Dad." Talia said.
"Fine, we'll come out." Cooper said. He got up and helped Khoe up. They walked out of the closet and were still very close to each other.
"Khoe!" Malfoy screamed.
"What, Dad?" Khoe asked.
"I told you not to hang around that boy!" Malfoy yelled.
Khoe looked at Cooper and Cooper understood.
"Sorry father, he forced me." Khoe said.
"You better watch that son of yours, Potter." Malfoy said. He and Parkinson left with Khoe.
"Cooper." Harry said.
"What, Dad?" Cooper asked.
"Why were you hanging around her?"
"I wasn't hanging around her, she wouldn't leave me along. She pulled me into a closet and told me to keep quiet."
"That rotten little Malfoy." Harry said.
