The next morning Harry was awake much earlier than he normally was and was already showered and dressed by 6 am. He then woke up Draco and despite his cussing and grumbling(he was NOT a morning person and he DEFINITELY was creative in his curse words), pushed him into the shower and when he was dressed, dragged him to the kitchen where Dobby had set out plates for them all and was ready with the breakfast.
Once Draco had eaten and had about 4 cups of coffee in his system, he was finally awake and calm enough to go through the day and safely talk without cussing every alternate word.
He then turned to Harry and asked,
"Why in Merlin's name did you wake me up so early? Even the birds are still sleeping for god's sakes!"
"Forgotten already? Drake you promised we could adopt a child! We are going to the orphanage today! Aren't you excited?"
"I remember I promised you that we'd adopt a child but I didn't mean that we'll go out the very next day!" Seeing Harry's crestfallen face he quickly amended, "But since we're already ready, it'd be better if we just went out and got a start."
Harry perked up and laughing happily, dragged a still unsure Draco out the door.
They left Malfoy Manor and apparated to the nearby orphanage. As soon as they rang the bell, a lady dressed impeccably in white, opened the door with a smile and ushered them in.
"Mr. Potter I believe?" she said laughing lightly. "Well, I daresay it's an honor to meet you but since I don't want to embarrass you any further, let's just get down to business. Now, as I understand, you're looking to adopt a child, am I right? Any specifications you two have?"
"Ummm, no I don't think so. We just want a child, we don't care if she/he is a squib we'll love the child no matter what." said Draco.
"Well, in that case, let's go and take a look at all the children, they're all waiting for someone to adopt them, but i don't want to give just any child to any parent, you got to have a connection to raise a child so you tell me whichever child you feel the most drawn to and i'll draw up the paperwork got it?" said the lady.
She took them to a brightly done up room, the nursery, every inch of the room was covered in cribs and sleeping babies.
Harry gazed around until his sight fell on a smaller than usual baby, lying quietly and observing him.
Suddenly, Harry felt his feet moving of their own accord until he was walking towards the baby and had picked him up in his arms. He saw that the baby had green eyes and white blond hair, a mixture of Draco and Harry, he looked just like any biological child of theirs would have.
Draco walked towards them and softly asked Harry, "Are you sure Harry?"
"Yes Drake." Harry replied, a tear in his eye.
Draco left the room with the nurse and returned 5 mins later with some papers and a small bag in his hand, to find Harry playing with the little boy happily.
"Scorpius James Malfoy." he announced proudly and hugged Harry and Scorpius.
"Thank you Draco." Harry replied with tears in his eyes which Draco wiped away tenderly and embraced his family once again.
"Come on, let's show him off to the whole family." said Harry , laughing.
And they apparated away to start a new chapter of their lives.
