For those of you who don't know how I do my Fanfictions - I will write a thank you or a little note up here and then I'll ask questions at the end, and I'd be grateful if anyone would answer them in a review.

This is my second Fanfiction, my other is called Like Me For Who I Am, Not What I Am. It is also a Next Gen story. It is currently in my character's second year at Hogwarts.

Thank you for reading this and I hope you continue to read it when I update.

I don't own Harry Potter.

"Mummy?" A young Scorpius Malfoy asked his mother in a bed at St Mungo's hospital. Clinging onto his father's neck with his little hands, he peered into the bundle in his mother's arms.

"Yes, dear?" Astoria asked, looking up at her son.

"Dolly?" He asked, pointing to the bundle. Draco laughed at his son and sat on the bed where his wife's legs weren't.

"No, this is a baby, Scorpius." Draco said, Scorpius nodded to his father, and then looked back at the bundle. "Can you say 'baby'?"

"Dolly," Scorpius said while shaking his head as he chewed on his finger. Astoria laughed at how cute Scorpius was being.

"Scorpius, you know how Mummy got very fat?" She asked, Scorpius nodded. "And you know how everyone who visited was telling you to be a good boy when your little sibling came?" He nodded again. "And you know how you had to be very careful around Mummy's tummy?" He nodded.

"And you remember me telling you were going to meet your little sister today?" He nodded to his father. "And how I told you that she'd been in Mummy's tummy?" He nodded again, still chewing his finger.

"Well this is your little sister." Astoria said, looking down to the bundle.

"Dolly?" Scorpius asked, trying to look into the bundle.

"Yes, Scorpius." She smiled as she moved the blanket that covered the baby's face.

She was asleep and she had barely any hair, but the hair she did have was almost white. She had a pink suit on and you could see one of her tiny hands.

Scorpius carefully crawled over to the side of the baby that her head was on. He looked at her, then up at his mother and smiled.

"Dolly." He whispered and put his chewed finger to his mouth.

"That's right, she's sleeping." Astoria smiled. Scorpius kneeled over the baby and lightly kissed her forehead, then sat back and smiled to his father.

"Where is my Grand Daughter?" Narcissa whispered from the door. Draco stood and gave his mother a kiss on her cheek and led her to the rest of his family. "Oh, she's beautiful." She whispered, then looked at Scorpius and picked him up. He cuddled into her shoulder but never took his eyes off his little sister.

"Has she got a name?" A voice asked from the door, Scorpius turned his head and looked at his Grand Father, then turned back to his sister.

"Not yet," Astoria said, smiling at her daughter.

"Are you going for a star?" Narcissa asked.

"I want to." Draco said. "I also want a flower for her middle name."

"That sounds nice." Astoria said to her husband.

"I'll pick the star, you can pick the flower?" Draco suggested. Astoria nodded and looked back to her daughter.

Narcissa had a hold of the new baby, she walked about the room with her, quietly whispering to her. Scorpius had climbed onto his mother's bed and cuddled into her side. When it was Lucius' turn, Draco expected him to turn her away. This was exactly what he did to Scorpius when he was born, but not with the new baby. He held her carefully and gently. Draco thought he might look uncomfortable holding a baby, but he looked very content, he was smiling down at her.

"Iris," Astoria said, breaking the silence.

"What did you say?" Narcissa asked.

"I want her middle name to be Iris." She said, stroking Scorpius' hair.

"Have you thought of a first name, Draco?" Lucius asked.

"I thought, maybe Talitha?" He suggested.

"Why Talitha, dear?" Astoria asked.

"Well, Talitha means 'the third leap' in Arabic, referring to a Gazelle, and I think our daughter with be full of energy. This one is." He nodded to Scorpius, all the adults laughed, but Scorpius just blinked at them. "And Talitha is Aramaic for 'little girl', and she's my little girl." He smiled as he looked over to her. "And it is a star."

"I love it," Astoria smiled as she put out her hand for him to come closer. He walked to the side of her bed and she gave him a kiss on his lips.

"Talitha Iris Malfoy," Lucius said to her. "Welcome to the world."

~O~O~

"Scorpius, go sit on the sofa, please." Astoria called from the front door. Today was the day that they were taking Talitha home. Scorpius ran into the living room and jumped on the sofa and sat perfect for his parents and his little sister. Astoria came into the living room, she was holding Talitha and Draco followed her, he moved cushions about on the sofa around Scorpius so that he could hold Talitha for the first time.

"Are you ready?" Draco asked him. Scorpius shook his head. "Do you want me to sit next to you so you know she'll be okay?" He asked. Scorpius nodded as he chewed his finger. Draco moved the cushions and sat next to his son.

Astoria gave Talitha to Draco, who then laid her on Scorpius' lap. Draco made sure her head didn't fall and that Scorpius was comfortable with her.

"Do you like her?" Astoria asked as she knelt on the floor. Scorpius smiled and nodded.

"Dolly." He whispered.

"You know he's going to only call her Dolly?" Draco smirked.

"Yes but it is cute, and it's her first nickname." Astoria smiled.

"I suppose so. Scorpius?" Draco asked. Scorpius looked up at him. "Can you say 'Talitha'?"

"Taissa," Scorpius said.

"Okay, maybe Dolly's better." Draco laughed.

~O~O~

"Happy birthday, Scorpius." Narcissa said, hugging her Grandson.

"Thank you, Grandma." He smiled, taking the present from her. He ran over to his pile of presents and the put box there.

"Where's Talitha?" Lucius asked Scorpius after giving him a hand shake.

"I think she's with Daddy." Scorpius shrugged, he took Narcissa's hand and let them into the sitting room.

The living room and the sitting room were very different in Malfoy Manor. The living room was where the Malfoy's sat with their guests, the sitting room was a cosier room that only family sat in.

Astoria sat in a soft armchair, next to the covered fire, Draco sat on a sofa. On his lap was a little girl, she had beautiful grey eyes and straight blonde hair that went to her shoulders. She cuddled into her father's chest as she chewed one of her fingers. She had pink robes on which made her look like a princess out of a muggle fairy tale book.

"Grandpa!" She called when her grandparents walked into the room. She struggled to get off Draco's lap, but with his help she got to her feet. She ran into Lucius' arms. "Hi, Grandpa." She giggled.

"Hello," he smiled, then he nodded to Narcissa.

"Hello, Grandma." She giggled as she copied her Grandfather's word.

"Hello, Talitha." Narcissa smiled.

"Are you here for Scorpius' birthday?" Talitha blinked to her Grandfather.

"Yes we are, are you dressed for the party?"

"Yes," She giggled. "Do you like it?" She asked, picking up some of the fabric.

"You look very pretty." He smiled.

"You look delightful, Talitha." Narcissa smiled.

Astoria and Draco went upstairs to get ready for the party so Narcissa and Lucius were left with Scorpius and Talitha. Talitha sat on the sofa in between her Grandparents. She sat with her back right against the sofa, just like both her Grandparents. She crossed her legs – the best she could – like her Grandmother and she put her hands on her knees, like her Grandfather.

"Are you looking forward to your party today, Scorpius?" Narcissa asked Scorpius, who was sitting on the floor playing with toys of magical creatures.

"Yes, all my friends are coming." He said proudly.

"What about you, Talitha? Are your friends coming to Scorpius' party?" Narcissa asked, but before Talitha could reply Scorpius cut in.

"Dolly doesn't have any friends though." Scorpius shrugged.

"Of course that's not true." Narcissa laughed.

"Scorpius is my friend." Talitha said innocently.

"But I have other friends that aren't you." Scorpius pointed out.

"Don't any of your friends have any little sisters?" Lucius asked.

"Nope," Scorpius said, popping the 'p'. "Only brothers."

"Oh dear," Narcissa said, looking at Lucius, "Think what it's going to be like when she goes to Hogwarts."

"She'll be fine, she's a Malfoy." He smiled.

~O~O~

The first knock on the large door at Malfoy Manor was the start of a trail of knocks. Just as Scorpius had said, all of his friends did come. However most of Scorpius' friends were Draco's friends' sons. The only children there that weren't children of Draco's friends were Lorcan and Lysander Scamander. Their father, Rolf, was a mutual friend of someone Draco knew, they both had sons of the same age so they decided to get them together. They'd been friends ever since.

Draco was slightly uneasy at having Looney Lovegood there, or as she's now known, Luna Scamander. However they did speak at the party. Talitha was cuddling into Draco as he held her on his hip. She was starting to get tired and she was chewing her finger when a beautiful woman with blonde hair walked up to them.

"Hello, Draco." She smiled.

"Hello, Luna." Draco said politely.

"It's a wonderful party; I know Lorcan and Lysander are having a great time." She smiled.

"I'm glad to hear it."

"I don't think I've met this little girl." Luna smiled. When Talitha heard them talk of her she lifted her head to look at the woman properly.

"This is my daughter." Draco smiled, looking at Talitha.

"Hello, my name is Luna." Luna smiled.

"I'm called Talitha." Talitha smiled, when Luna smiled at her name it made her smile more. "You look like a Princess." She told Luna.

"So do you." Luna replied which made Talitha giggle. "Why is Talitha not dancing with her friends?" Luna asked Draco. He knew she wasn't being judgemental when she asked.

"She doesn't have any. I don't know many people who have had daughters."

"Harry had a little girl."

"I know Potter and I have left on good terms but I'm not sure how I feel about Talitha being friends with his daughter." Draco replied. "How many does he have now?"

"Three, James Sirius is the oldest. Albus Severus is the middle, he's the same age as Lysander, Lorcan and Scorpius. And then Lily Luna is the youngest, a year younger than Talitha actually."

"Lily Luna? Are you her Godmother then?" He smirked.

"Yes I am." She smiled. "She's an angel, much like this one I assume." She said and tickled Talitha, causing her to giggle. "Would you like to dance, Talitha?" Talitha nodded and reached out for Luna to take her.

Luna walked over to the dance floor where all the children were. She put Talitha down and took both of her hands and knelt on her knees as they danced. Lorcan, Lysander and Scorpius were also dancing.

Astoria walked over to Draco and gave him a kiss on his lips. He gave her a questioning look.

"I'm proud of you." She smiled as she watched the children dance.

"Why?"

"You spoke to Luna, and you were civil. You weren't the teenager that would have snapped in her face."

"I've grown up; I can't be that Draco anymore, not now we have Scorpius and Talitha." He smiled as he put his arm around her waist.

~O~O~

"Is Dolly asleep?" Scorpius whispered as he and Draco made their way up stairs, Talitha in Draco's arms.

"Yes," He whispered back. "I'm going to put her in her room."

Draco turned into a door in the corridor and Scorpius continued to walk. Talitha's room was a pale purple, she had a single bed that had a princess vale around it. On her wall it said with blue writing her name and her date of birth. Under the writing there was a large photo of Astoria in a hospital bed, in her arms was a small bundle. Standing next to her bed was Draco, he would look down at the bundle and smile. Sitting on the bed was Scorpius. In Scorpius' room was the same thing on his wall, but it was his name and his date of birth and he was the small bundle in Astoria's arms.

Draco placed Talitha in her bed, he took off her dress and put a pair of pyjama trousers on her and put a top over her vest. He pulled the covers over her and put her plush owl toy in her arms. He kissed her on the forehead and went through to Scorpius' room. He got him changed and read him a story and went back downstairs to thank his parents for coming.

~O~O~

"What are you thinking?" Astoria asked Draco as he sat on the armchair in the sitting room.

"I was thinking about something Luna told me yesterday. He said that Potter had a daughter." Draco answered.

"Does he? I thought he just had the two boys, isn't one of them Scorpius' age?" She asked.

"Yes, the middle one, Albus I think his name is." Draco nodded. "The daughter is Luna's God Daughter though."

"How sweet." Astoria smiled. "Why are you thinking about that though?"

"Talitha has no friends, apart from Scorpius." He said, looking into his wife's eyes.

"But you don't like Harry Potter."

"I'd like him enough for my daughter to have a friend out of the family." He sighed.

"She's only five. In six years she can meet this daughter of Potters at Hogwarts. She's happy with Scorpius right now, and when he's away she plays by herself, or gets us to play with her when we're not busy." Astoria said, she walked over and gave him a kiss on his forehead.

"Seven." He corrected.

"Sorry?"

"In seven years she'll meet Potter's girl at Hogwarts, she's a year younger than Talitha. And she might actually meet her in five years on the Platform when Scorpius goes to school."

"Seven then." She smiled. "All in all, she's fine right now."

"I suppose you're right. I'm going to go and see her, Scorpius is at Pansy's house today, correct?" He asked as he stood up.

"Correct," She nodded.

Draco made his way upstairs to her room, he was about to knock on her door when he heard her talking to herself, and she put on different voices.

"'Would you like some cake, Miss Malfoy?' The Owl asked. 'No thank you, I just had a sandwich.' She said. 'How about you then?' The Owl asked the snake. 'Yessss, pleassssse' he said, then he gobbled all the cake up. 'Mister Snake, you are very rude. Even I know not to gobble all the cake up, and I'm only five years old." I said. 'Sssssorry Talitttthhhha' the snake said."

Draco decided this would be a good time to knock. Talitha got to her feet, her plush Owl and a plush snake in either hands, she opened the door.

"Hello, Daddy."

"Hello, what are you doing today?" Draco smiled.

"I'm having a tea party with Mister Owl and Mister Snake, do you want to join us?" She smiled.

"If you wouldn't mind." He said entering her bedroom. Talitha sat on the floor and placed her toys around the imaginary table, Draco sat in the space where he assumed the table wasn't. He was thankful that when he sat she didn't start shouting at him saying he was sitting on the table.

Talitha handed him an imaginary cup and he pretended to drink the imaginary tea.

"Sorry, Daddy, but Mister Snake gobbled the whole cake up!" Talitha squealed as she threw her arms up and flopped then down.

"He didn't? How rude!" Draco exclaimed, playing along.

"That's what I said." She squealed.

Okay, this is the part that if someone has asked me to advertise their story, I do it here.
