Scorpius Malfoy
" Scorpius darling, wake up, you have to eat before you catch the train." Scorpius woke up to his mother petting his hair.
"It's the first already?" Scorpius asked opening his eyes. The sunlight was dimmed by the heavy red curtains hanging on the windows.
"Come downstairs and eat, your father is waiting." Pansy whispered as she looked down on her only child. Scorpius nodded and pushed the bed coverings off of himself before swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and standing up. His silk pajamas rustled around his feet as he moved toward his dresser. "I'll be downstairs sweet." His mother murmured and quietly slipped out the door. Scorpius dressed quickly and grabbed his wand off of the bedside table before walking out of his room and down the front staircase. When he entered the dining room he heard applause and looked up in slight surprise, sitting at the table where his grandparents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. His father smiled at him from where he sat next to his mother.
"Oh Draco! You did not say how tall your son has gotten!" Narcissa Malfoy crooned and reached out for Scorpius. He shuddered when she touched his shoulder but passed it off as a sneeze.
"Today is such a big day! Beginning your second year at Hogwarts! You are growing up so fast!" His grandmother said, her voice dripping with adoration. For the hundredth time, Scorpius wished that he had another sibling to share this horror with. Or even a friend.
" Have a muffin Scorpius, you need to have energy!" Grandpa Malfoy said hitting Scorpius on the back. Normally he would have resisted, but he was quite hungry.
"Yes, actually that sounds good." He said, internally wincing in preparation of the horrid onslaught of love that was soon to come. Sure enough, just seconds after he answered his mother and grandmother went into fits about what a nice strong boy he had grown into and how well he was going to do in life. Trying not to roll his eyes he reached across the table and grabbed a muffin.
"Lord! Look at the time! We have to leave!" Draco said standing up.
"Wait, before you go your Grandpa has a present for you!" Scorpius was used to this, but he still smiled and thanked his grandfather for the large money bag that was pressed into his hand. Pansy ushered her son and husband into the car where all of Scorpius's stuff was already waiting. The drive was a long one to King's Cross Station, and half of it was just getting out of their estate. Scorpius watched out of the window as the acres of fields and forests swept by. In the distance he could see the Quidditch pitch that his father had insisted on building for when he practised. He sighed, another year was impending on him. Another year at school where he was shunned by everyone in his house. Another year where he was going to be the only Malfoy to ever be in Gryffindor house.
