Random little time skip to the day after!
Scorpius and his mother were sat at the table, breakfast. Scorpius knew he was going to miss his mothers cooking, yes they had house elves but Astoria done all the cooking. And Scorpius was so glad she did, he started to cut into his egg, the golden yolk spilling onto this buttered toast. Astoria smiled, she loved seeing her baby boy getting a good meal inside him, this would definitely be one of the little things she missed about having him here.
"Mama?"
"Scorp, don't talk with your mouth full."
Astoria laughed softly, the young blonde boy knew he was not in any trouble.
"Sorry mama," the young boy stuffed another forkful into his already full mouth, yolk dribbling down his chin, "Why does Grandpa Lucy like auntie Daphne?"
"Well, i suppose she's more," this was always a sensitive for the brunette but she tried her hardest not to show it in front of her son and she wiped the yolk from his chin, "your aunt Daphne is just...do you remember your daddy..."
"Mama! I'm going to Hogwarts he's my dad or my father!"
"Of course he is until you want something!" her son blushed, "Well do you remember when your father told you about the wars? How there were people whom wanted to follow the dark lord, and your grandpa Noah had wanted the perfect pureblood family, dark marks and all? Well Daphne was going to go through with it, she wanted to."
"And you didn't? That's why Grandpa Lucy doesn't like you?"
Damn. If Scorpius had figured that much out, what else was playing in his mind?
"Your Grandpa Lucy just likes Auntie Daphne more," she could see Scorpius trying to make sense of this and she wasn't sure whether she should explain this to him now, no later, "So what did nana Cissy get you, huh?"
"Some clothes, shirts and shoes, A few books. We went for ice-cream!"
"Ice-cream! Without me? What did you get?"
"I had...Strawberry with shortbread crumbles and a chocolate flake and white chocolate sauce!"
"That's my favourite! And you didn't bring me any home?"
"I couldn't mama!"
"I bet you could! You just wanted it all for yourself!"
"No! Mama! I swear!"
"Swearing? I should hope not!"
The young boy and his mother looked up; Draco came over, planting a hand on his wife's shoulder giving a gentle squeeze and a tiny kiss on his son's forehead. Astoria stood, getting Draco his breakfast, the same as his son.
"No papa! I wasn't swearing we went for ice-cream, me and nana Cissy, and i..."
"Guess what he got Draco!"
"You didn't!" Draco had a look of mock horror on his face, "you had strawberry ice-cream with shortbread crumble and a chocolate flake and white chocolate sauce didn't you!"
"He did! And i got nothing!"
Draco got up straight away, and went to his wife. Her hand face in his hands, fake sobs erupting from her mouth. Draco took her in his arms, and shook his head at Scorpius, the boy, whom had turned in his chair, done nothing but laugh.
"But papa i couldn't!"
"Don't worry Astoria, we'll use the money for scorp's you know what to get you ice cream!"
"PAPA! WHATS MY YOU KNOW WHAT?"
"Easy Scorp no need to shout! Go upstairs and get ready and you'll soon see!"
Draco had barely finished his sentence and the tiny double had gone racing out of the room. Astoria peered through her fingers, tiny giggles springing from her mouth. Draco cupped his wife's face, her warm eyes gazing into hers, this is why he chose her over Daphne, Astoria was always so warm, she was his light in the dark tunnel, and he lightly kissed her lips.
"Good morning sweetheart."
"Are we really getting his you know what now?"
"Don't worry we'll buy it now, and you can help him a little but he won't get it without supervision."
Another little break
Draco and Astoria had Scorp he was blindfolded, and the cheeky boy tried to peek but eventually Draco had clamped his hands over his son's eyes.
"but where are we going?"
"You'll see...oops"
Draco had made his son walk into the shop door. His son laughed, he had the same chime bell laugh as his mother, whom was to the side of her two precious boys and slightly opened the door for them. Once inside draco took his hands off Scorpius, and his son did not touch the blindfold.
"i do belive you can look now young master Malfoy"
It was an old voice, and Scorpius lifted his hand to take the blindfold off, his fingers stumbling slightly, the old man chuckled slight and Draco helped his son take the blindfold off. In front of Scorpius was aisles and aisles of shelves, the old man in front of his, always bowing and smiled at the boy.
"Nice to meet you Scorpius, i'm Ollivander, and you're here to get your first wand!"
The confused look on the boys face was soon replaced by the broadest smile ever, the very same look Draco had on his face when he was told he would not be staying in Azkaban, and would be living with his new wife. The young boy followed the old man into a space in the shop, stopped and waited as Ollivander went to fetch a wand.
"Right first go, master Malfoy. This is oak, 9 inches dragon heart string."
Scorpius took it, flicked and broke a vase! The young boy quickly gave it back. The wand maker brought a few more boxes to the front. The boy took the next one.
"Right now this one is 12 inches. Made from willow, with phoenix feather."
Another flick and another broken vase.
"And this one is 12 and ½ inches. It's made from beach tree, and a unicorn hair, this one is different though, this is the first I've made with a mane hair instead of tail hair!"
Another flick and both vases were suddenly repaired. This was the one. It did not seem possible but the boys smile was even larger. The Malfoys paid for the wand, and went home. Scorpius understood he could have his wand just yet, but spent every living moment with his nose stuck in a book, he was so indulged he did not realise the two newcomers in the study, and jumped so much when he heard the booming voice of his grandfather Noah, Scorp put the book down and ran to him, embracing Noah and Poppy, his grandmother.
"Guess what i got! Mama and papa took me out for my want and i got it! Im reading now so i know how to use it!"
"You'll be taught that at school Scorp, but your papa and i are going to collect something for you tomorrow, we're staying the night."
The young Malfoy family did not see Poppy and Noah much; they now lived in the Netherlands and loved it very much. Noah was a tall man, 6 feet 3inches, he towered over most; His grey hair turning white but his green eyes were full of life. Poppy was smaller at 5 feet 3 inches, her greying hair pulled back in a loose ponytail, her chocolate eyes shared the same warmth as Astoria.
As the evening progressed, they sat in a fire lit room, surrounded with plates of food; cheese, bread grapes and pastries. And other foods, they all sat picking. Draco was on the small velvet sofa with Poppy, Noah in the armchair facing the fire. Astoria sat with Scorpius against the other sofa on the floor. They were all laughing, sharing stories of Hogwarts. Noah had just finished a story of his potions and herbology lessons with Horace Slughorn and Eddie Longbottom, when Astoria started clapping rapidly,
"I've got one! I've got a story.
"Go on mama."
"Well when your father was in his fourth year, there was a competition called the triwzard tournament. And the defence against dark arts teacher, professor moody, and let's say different ideas of punishment. He and your father clashed..." she trailed off and looked at Draco, an evil glint in her eyes.
Draco felt his mouth fall open.
Oh Merlin. Not THAT story.
