"MOMMY!" the boy shouted and ran into Harri's arms.

"You had me so worried little man! I told you I would bring you up to see Severus when I had finished putting the files away, anything could have happened to you on your way here!"

"I'm sowwy mommy!" Scorpius pouted as Harri peppered kissed on his cheeks and hair.

"It's ok sweetie but please don't do that again"

"I won't"

Harri lifted Scorpius up still clinging tight to her son and looked at who was in the room. She faltered when she saw Draco looking at her in shock.

"You have a son?" he asked, he was shocked but mostly hurt… the woman he loved had actually moved on and had a family with someone.

"Yeah, Dray this is Scorpius, Scor this is Draco"

"Is that who you told me about mommy?"

"Yeah it is sweetie, Dray we need to talk" Draco just nodded along, not sure what to say, inside his heart was literally breaking… Harri was a mother.

"Minerva is on her way up here Harri, leave him here whilst the two of you talk, I can get Minerva to call Narcissa through if she has to do anything"

"Thanks Sev, now little man Aunt Minnie is on her way up here, me and Draco are going to talk for a little while, so you are going to stay up here and tell Sev all about the plant names you learned in nursery"

"Ok mommy" Scorpius replied giving Harri a kiss. "Sev there was a green plant, and a red plant…"

As soon as Draco and Harri entered the office, Harri called for some alcohol knowing it was going to be a tough conversation.

"I never realised you had a family"

"Scorpius was kept secret for a reason Dray, sit down we need to talk"

"Is this what you and my mother have been mentioning lately"

"It is, but please listen to me fully before you say anything…"

"I promise"

"Four years ago when we broke up I was pregnant…"

"What's Scorpius' full name Harri?" Draco asked dreading what was going to be said.

"Scorpius Draconis Potter-Black…"

"Is he my son?"… "IS HE HARRI?" Draco shouted.

"Yes" she winced

"WHAT THE FUCK HARRI! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON! WHY HAVE YOU KEPT HIM FROM ME?!"

"Draco let me explain! You promised you would listen!"

"Fuck you whore! How dare you keep him away from me!"

"DRACO! Where are you going? Let me explain please" Harri pleaded as she chased after Draco down the corridor.

Draco stormed into the office slamming the door open and saw his mother sitting with Scorpius on her lap.

"DID YOU FUCKIN KNOW TOO?!" he shouted, causing Scorpius to grip tight on his nana.

"Draco calm down! You are scaring him!" Narcissa said glaring at her fuming son.

"Draco let me explain please! Do you really think I would keep this from you if there was not reason!?" Harri begged when she reached the office.

"Fuck you Potter! You should have died in that war with the mess you create!" Draco snarled back at her.

Everyone in the office saw the heartbreak on Harri's face as she heard this. She closed her eyes trying to stop the tears from falling. "Very well" she whispered. "Cissa can you watch Scorp please" Narcissa nodded and offered a comforting smile as Harri walked out the office clearly hurt.

"Narcissa take Scorpius for a walk and I will speak with Draco"

Draco could not believe what he had just been told, how dare that bitch keep his son from him?! She had clearly changed a lot from the woman he thought he knew.

"Draco…"

"Don't Sev, she had no right to keep him from me. How dare she?! That child is my son! MY SON! And I had no idea he even existed!"

"DRACO THAT IS ENOUGH!" Severus shouting was enough for Draco to snap his mouth shut and listen to the man.

"Draco what you have just said was out of order, you seem to forget how much Harri lost in that damn war, she even died herself and if it was not for her, I can assure you the life we would be living now would be hell. You never gave her chance to explain did you?"

"No"

"Draco I'm going to be straight forward… Lucius forced her not to tell you"

"What?" Draco asked now giving Severus his full attention.

"When Harri found out she was pregnant, due to her being classed as a pure-blood and the head of the family she had no choice but to tell your father before she told you, as he was Lord of your family at the time. As you can guess he was far from happy, that was when he told her that you were to wed Miss Parkinson. Harri pleaded her case, saying that she would marry you and he accused her of not being worthy enough, he had no clear argument as she is classed as a pureblood due to the black blood adoption. It seemed more that he had a vendetta against her, from when he got sent to Azkaban and lost favour with the dark lord. So Harri turned to Narcissa, hoping she could try to sway Lucius' decision. As you know Narcissa always liked Harri and was ecstatic when she found out she was pregnant so tried to reason with your father. Due to Harri going behind his wishes and informing another family member he was furious so he looked into the old family magics and found that the black family owed your family a debt from many years back so it had passed down the generations. He pulled up the debt and stated that whilst he was alive she could not inform you of Scorpius' existence as a child born out of wedlock whilst the father of the child was engaged to someone else would cause a scandal large enough to harm his family name. As it was a family debt she had no choice but to agree to his conditions. She tried to tell you by leaving certain clues when she was near the end of the pregnancy, Narcissa too tried to drop hints to you, mentioning children's names, how past students are doing now ect and the magic punished Harri for it for attempting to go against the agreement. She was forced into labour early and both her and Scorpius were not guaranteed to live after the delivery. Narcissa was her labour partner as that was the closest they could do to keep you involved. Your father met Scorpius when he was a few weeks old and refused to allow him to have the Malfoy name so Harri went for a traditional Black name with Scorpius and used Draconis as his middle name. She really had no choice Draco, don't punish her for this when she had to look at a child every day whom looked like a twin of you and know she could never have you; she has been punished more than enough"

Draco was lost for words, he was hurting, really hurting. His father had caused all of this… his son, his beautiful son has had to grow up for 3 years and not known him. Poor Harri has had to bring him up on her own, and stand by and see him with another woman.

"Oh gosh Sev what have I done saying those things to her, I even called her a whore down stairs" Draco buried his face in his hands and for the first time since he lost Harri began to cry.

"She will forgive you Draco, if there is one thing that we both know about Harri it is that she is pure hearted and fiercely loyal. Family is everything to her Draco, go and talk to her"

Draco nodded and left the office, he felt lost, he did not know what to do so he headed towards Harri's quarters. He walked in to see Scorpius lying on the sofa with a stuffed dragon plushie and Narcissa stroking his hair.

"Nana is mommy ok?"

"She will be honey, don't worry your precious little head she just needs to talk over some things"

"Nana that man is here" Scorpius informed her pointing over to Draco.

"This is someone very special to you Scorpius; your mommy has told you about your father hasn't she?"

"She said he was a knight that keeps loads of dragons as pets!" Scorpius said getting excited. "That's why he has been away for a while" He whispered the last part like it was a secret. Draco could not help but chuckle at what Harri had told him.

"Well this here is Draco, he is your daddy" Narcissa informed Scorpius.

Scorpius shot up from his seat, "Is he really?!" he asked jumping up down.

"I sure am, come here Scorpius" Draco said as he opened up his arms and hugged his son tight. The feeling of the little guy in his arms was incredible. He breathed in deep getting his sons scent and closed his eyes, hugging him tighter. Draco savoured the moment, he could not believe it, he had a son!.

"are the dragons better? Mommy said they sick"

"Yeah they are, do you like dragons?"

"Yeah! My fav'rites, look" Scorpius said as he wiggled out of Draco's hold and ran over to where his nana was holding his stuffed dragon and took it to show his daddy. Draco pulled his son back into his lap and examined the toy.

"What's his name?"

"Rahh!"

"No little man, what have you called him"

"Rahh!"

"He's called the dragon Rahh Draco" Narcissa told him, she had a dreamy smile on her face seeing her son and grandson together.

"Oh" Draco chuckled "Good name choice"

"Where's mommy?"

"I think she went for a walk, I said some things that weren't very nice so I need to go and apologise. I am sorry as well for shouting earlier, it was bad of me to be angry around you, am I forgiven?"

"Hmm" Scorpius sat there as if he were deep in thought, Draco looked over his shoulder and sent an amused smile to Narcissa.

"New dragon and I will"

"Looks like I have a little Slytherin for a son" Draco had a proud smile on his face.

"Nu-uh Slimy snakes" Scorpius said bobbing out his tongue. Draco shook his head in astonishment but his face clearly showed amusement.

"Has your mommy taught you that?"

"Yeah! When she tells the bad snake children off she lets me call them slimy snakes" Scorpius replied sitting straight back and proud. Draco just pulled him into another hug smiling at how much his son was like him.

"It is so wonderful to finally see you two together Draco, please don't blame Harri for this. It honestly broke her heart doing what she did but she had to keep Scorpius safe, we did not know what your father would try next"

"I know mother"

"Her names nana!" Scorpius protested. Narcissa laughed a little at her grandson's logic.

"I am your daddy's mommy, just like you have your mommy"

"does everyone have a mommy?"

"Too smart for your own good you are my son. Yes everyone has a mommy but some people don't get to see their mommy"

"My mommy hasn't got a mommy, was she bad?"

Draco and Narcissa both froze and looked at each other unsure of what to say. Luckily Harri chose that moment to announce her presence from where she was waiting by the door.

"My mommy wasn't bad honey, she was a very brave lady who saved my life so she had to go and live with all the people in the sky like in your story" Harri said smiling at her son.

"Mommy look daddy is back from the dragons!" Scorpius shouted jumping to hug his mom.

"he sure is baby, Cissa would you mind watching Scor so I can talk to Draco"

"Of course I can, come on sweetie lets bath you so your parents can talk"

"No way nana! Water is yakky!" Scorpius said as he ran off into the bedroom. Happy squeals came from the bedroom as Narcissa caught up to the toddler escapee.

"Ri walk with me please?" Draco asked offering Harri his arm.

"Sure" she whispered back. They walked through the halls and outside until they came to the black lake. He pulled her straight into his arms and enveloped her in a hug.

"I'm so sorry, Harri look at me please. I really am sorry for what I said, I was so angry and hurt I was not thinking clearly. Severus explained everything to me, no no please don't cry" Draco said as he wiped her tears away. "You were brave and strong, I had no right to say what I did, please forgive me"

"Don't apologise Dray, I should of tried harder to tell you, but when the magic forced me into labour I could not risk Scorpius' life, it is me who should be pleading forgiveness"

"Don't Harri, just don't" Draco murmured into her hair when he pulled her close again. "He's a wonderful boy, he's made me proud of him and I have only just met him". Draco felt her smile into his chest and kissed the top of her head. "I see now why you were so lost when we broke up, my father is lucky he is dead with how I am feeling now"

"He can't ruin anymore lives Dray, forget about it now please, I'm gaining a headache from the tears"

"I'm sorry"

"Me too"

Draco and Harri stood together outside for ages, neither wanted to let go.

"Do you want to come put Scorpius to bed, I'm sure Pansy is expecting you soon"

"Sure" Draco smiled, and after debating with himself took Harri's hand and led her back inside.

"Daddy tell me a story!" Scorpius demanded as soon as he spotted his father walk into his room.

"Sure baby what story?"

"Not a baby! Tell him mommy I'm big now!"

"Of course you are darling, daddy is just jealous that you're going to be even bigger than him soon"

Scorpius chose his book and dragged both his parents to sit either side of him on the bed as he snuggled under the duvet.

"Story time daddy!"

"Once upon a time… hold on is this a muggle book?"

"Dray shush and read him the story" Harri said laughing at the outraged look on Draco's face.

"No way we want better stories than this don't we Scorp?"

"Yeah! Daddy's right, tell me a special story"

"Ok, well there once was a small girl who lived in a plain world. She lived with her relatives who weren't very nice they made her do loads of chores and treated her badly… When she reached 11 years old a giant came to her house to visit her. She looked up at him as her saviour, offering her a way out from her cruel relatives. The giant told the young girl she was a witch, of course the young girl did not believe it at all… she was just an ordinary girl, nothing was special about her. But the giant told her about a magical school, a place where there were other witches and wizards just like her, where she could learn to do all sorts of spells and even get a wand!. But then the small girl started to panic; "Mr giant sir, where will I buy all the things to go to this school?" she asked, the giant smiled at her excited expression and told her about a magical alley which was hidden away from plain people, it was there for anyone who could do magic…"

Narcissa smiled from where she was watching the small family from the bedroom doorway, she could not waste such an opportunity and immediately went in search for one of the camera's Harri had lying around. She finally felt complete now Draco knew about Scorpius, she just had to get rid of that she-dragon whom currently lived in their manor, and then get Harri and Draco back together.

Harri looked down at her son and smiled, she stroked his hair out of his eyes and kissed his forehead.

"He looks so much like you Dray" she whispered.

Draco smirked at her, " Handsome little bugga isn't he"

Harri giggled at his antics, "He sure is, you're taking this well Dray…"

"I've already missed three years Ri, I can't miss anymore, I am not going to be how my father was with me, Scorp will know he is loved. Thank you for giving me a son, I'm so proud of you"

Harri smiled at him with tears in her eyes and gave him a whispered thank you. "lets go and talk in the living room, I'm sure Cissa is waiting to say bye too"

With a kiss to his sons forehead Draco followed Harri out watching as her figure sashayed away.

"Thank you for watching over him Cissa"

"Harri it's always my pleasure you know this, how is Draco taking it all?"

"I'm doing fine thank you mother, Severus explained it all" Draco said as he sat on the couch, right next to Harri much to Narcissa's glee.

"Is there anything you want answers on whilst we're together Dragon?" Narcissa asked, she was keeping a close eye on how Harri and Draco just seemed to be drawn together.

"I want to know it all, how the pregnancy went, how much did he weigh, tell me everything…"

"I will leave you two to it then, I will tell Pansy that you have been caught up in work Draco so there is no need to rush home. I will see you soon Harri, I'm so glad the truth is out now" Narcissa said as she went to leave, kissing both Draco and Harri before stepping in the fireplace.

"I know you're dying to get into nightwear so go ahead I will call for tea" Draco said when he saw Harri eying her bedroom. She smiled guiltily at him and skipped off to get refreshed. She came back out a little while later with an old set of his bed clothes in her hand, he looked at her confused when she blushed and started to twiddle with the hem of her night gown.

"Erm I sort of kept them when we broke up"

"and why would you do that?"

"I sort of slept in them for a while…" she admitted biting her lip in embarrassment.

"well aren't you just adorable" he said hooking his fingers under her chin causing her to look into his eyes.

"Obviously" she replied smugly before shoving him in the direction of the bathroom. "You may have to enlarge them a little, you've grown a lot in the past few years"

"I'm still hot though right?" He called back to her.

"Oh bloody shush you, that ego will need it's own sleepwear set if you carry on" She heard his laughs coming from the room and it made her heart clench with emotion. She knew it was wrong but she had to take advantage of him wanting to be close to her, she missed him too much. He came out of the bathroom in his sleep pants and a bathrobe, Harri could clearly see his bare chest. Draco smirked when he noticed her lustful stare but chose not to comment on it.

"Come sit down then Dray I'll show you this book me and Cissa put together, I had to do everything with your mother, I had no other friends around me at the time so I used to fall on her for everything, luckily she did not mind else I really would have been clueless. We put together this journal showing my progress of each month with a few added things" Harri explained when she handed over the large album to him. Draco ran his finger over the cover and smiled back at her before opening it up. The first photo was of her with a practically flat stomach and next to it was a scan photo of what looked nothing but a blob. "Found out today I'm pregnant, 6 weeks so far! Today I start this new life I have ahead of me" The next was another stomach photo with a tiny bulge and another photo but on this one you could clearly see the shape of the baby, "12 Weeks already! Sickness is far from nice, but my little bundle will be worth it" There was another stomach photo which showed a podge now. "16 weeks looks like I am finally showing!", the photo's and scan photos continued showing the progress until her stomach looked ready to pop and the scan photo showed a 3d well defined baby. Draco was in awe seeing how Harri's stomach had grew, he wished he had been there to see her waddle as she walked, to hold her hair and rub her back when she was sick. That should have been a celebratory time for them both, and it had been stolen from them by his own father.

"This is amazing Harri… I wish I had been there"

"Don't waste time on wishing Dray; you're around now for him so that is all that matters"
