A/N : Don't worry! I didn't forget about my other works! I've just been so busy lately, that my writing schedules has been in the early AM (it's 3:10 am right now) and my posting schedule happens when I have time to hop on the computer! Thank you again for all the support and reviews! Also, if you haven't, hop over to my profile and look at my other works, namely The Little Match Girl. I won't say anything about it otherwise it'll reveal too much! But it is a Dramione! Whether it'll be a HEA remains to be seen… ;)
Bundles of Joy
Startling awake at the sound of shrill crying, Draco sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, swinging his legs over the bed's edge as he recollected himself. Glancing over his shoulder, he took in his wife's sleeping form, watching as she began to stir to the sound of continued crying. Reaching out, he rubbed her back soothingly, murmuring in her ear to stay asleep and that he'll take care of it. She burrowed closer to the blankets, twisting them around her legs as her hair spilled out behind her, a few strands falling in her face. Smiling at her, he tucked the runaway hairs behind her ears and kissed her softly on the nose before standing up and padding out of the room quietly.
Making his way down the hall, he passed by all the photos lining the walls, fast asleep in their own gilded frames. When he was younger, he knew he would walk the very halls of power, But he never imagined it'll be his own home. The halls of power had not been what he thought it would be all his life. He always thought he would follow in his father's footsteps but he hadn't particularly liked the taste of lies and the sight of money passing hands to do unfathomable deeds had him queasy. His father may have been disappointed in his son's chosen career of potions making, but at least he was off bothering his wife, who had been sworn in as the Minister of Magic the year prior.
His thoughts strolled themselves down memory lane within his mind, bring him back to the moment in 4th year where he tossed all the rubbish he was taught as he grown up, and had man up to ask Hermione Granger out to the Yule Ball. Smirking to himself, he remembered all the jealous stares he had received throughout the night as he led his date onto the floor, dance after dance until they both collapsed in tired heaps on the fringes of the dance floor. Stupid Weasley never stood a chance. As soon as Draco heard a certain Quidditch player was sniffing around Hermione, he knew it was his only chance to get near her, barring any unfortunate circumstances that would've occurred if he hadn't. Ah… It just seemed like yesterday when he cornered the pro Bulgarian Quidditch player.
Striding up to Krum, Draco let his trademark sneer trace its way across his lips, twisting it to resemble a Malfoy's contempt.
"Well, well, well, Krum. Got a little taste for something british?" Sneering at the muscled Bulgarian, he took in how relaxed his stance was and how little attention he even gave Draco's presence. With his temper growing due to the disrespect, Draco stood taller and waited until Krum met his stare, boy to man, er, man to man.
"No, Vut a taste for something beautiful. You taste too?" He smirked at Draco, thinking that if they were talking about the same type of beautiful, that Draco would back off due to his more "prestigious" upbringing.
"I do, in fact, have a taste for beautiful. Intelligence is just an enhancement flavor. " Licking his lips, Draco returned the smirk, knowing that the kneazle was in the bag.
"Muggle-born no dull taste?" Cutting quick to the core, Viktor stood up fully, staring down Draco, arms crossed. Feeling the cutting remark, Draco remained silent for a moment, before sighing and relaxing. Viktor, thinking he won, smiled and walked forward, patting Draco on the shoulder. "Granger beautiful witch. She also ve my date then? Vetter luck next time, Malfoy." Smiling down at the 4th year, Viktor let go and began to walk away.
"No, Granger is gorgeous and intelligent and I'm sorry to say, but she is not your date. She will be mine. No one tells me who to date and what I can and cannot do."
Pausing mid stride at his small admission, Viktor looked over his shoulder at Draco, staring him to will him to back down. "You care very much for her?"
"Yes. More than I ever thought I have." Admitting it quietly, Draco's gaze never left Viktor's.
"Then, I vill let you have a chance. You still horrible to Miss Granger, then she vill be my witch. Fair?"
"Fair." The two men nodded and set out on their separate ways, thinking of plans to win the witch of their dreams.
Speeding up his steps, Draco headed through the hall and up a small set of stairs that winded and led to a nursery that Hermione and him had charmed to always alert them in their room to their son's cries. Stepping into the room, Draco took in the moving constellations bespelled on the ceiling and the swish and sway of the trees painted on the walls. Draco had asked Hermione why she chosen the scenery, but all she had done was shrug and say it seemed fitting. Padding over to their son's crib, Draco peered down and looked at his Scorpius' face, taking in the uncanny resemblance to him that everyone had pointed out when he had been born. Malfoys were always "pale and pointy", and his son was no exception - though he was far cuter.
Picking up the crying baby, he cradled him in his arms, swaying side to side slowly to soothe him. Stepping over to the white plush rocking chair in the corner, Draco sat down and began to rock, knowing that the almost silent sound of the creaking chair had a calming effect on his son that still baffled him. Leaning down, Draco kissed his son softly on the nose like he had done for his wife before, smirking when Scorpius' cries had quieted down to the occasional sniffle and whimper. Laying him against his chest, Draco rubbed his back slowly, whilst thinking about his beautiful wife that still laid in their bed.
