Pairing/Characters: Rose/Scorpius, Draco/Hermione
A/N: Drabble for reetinkerbell – Prompt: Family Outing.
Scorpius and Rose Malfoy had taken their parents to a Muggle farmer's market. They hoped that the experience would be so innocuous that neither Draco nor Hermione would find anything to argue over. Of course, that had been the plan for taking them to opera, the Quidditch match, and the children's ward at St. Mungo's. None of these prior assumptions, however, had turned out to be correct. In fact, their parents' inability to be in the same room without bickering was straining the newlywed's own relationship.
"If only your father didn't blurt out old-fashioned, elitist opinions on every topic of conversation then Mum wouldn't quarrel with him so often," Rose huffed.
"So my father isn't even allowed to speak, but your Mum can spout off for hours about whatever poor, disadvantaged cause she's championed this week?" Scorpius asked haughtily.
"At least my Mum works for the greater good, rather than only caring about the greatness of the Malfoy family name," Rose growled back.
Scorpius was prepared to reply in a horribly cutting manner, when he and Rose rounded the stall of a vegetable merchant and saw Draco and Hermione involved in yet another spat.
"Let go, Draco!" the bushy-haired woman barked, tugging gently on an ivory and beige head-scarf. "I want to purchase it for Rose."
"Don't be an idiot, Granger," the pale, blond man responded, successfully plucking the scarf from her grasp. "The coloring is all wrong for your freckled daughter."
When she opened her mouth to protest, Draco quickly wrapped the scarf around Hermione's neck and used it to pull her against him. "It does, however, look lovely on you," he whispered, before leaning down to cover her lips with his own.
Shocked, Rose and Scorpius turned toward each other and stated at the same time, "This is entirely YOUR fault!"
