Luna was in the backyard with Lorcan and Lysander. She was picking some flowers and kept handing the Daisies to Lorcan and Tulips to Lysander. Draco froze when he saw her and Scorpius slightly pushed him to get him walking again. Luna heard the sound of their footsteps and she looked up and smiled when she realized who it was. Lorcan and Lysander looked away.
"Oh hello! What a pleasant surprise!" Luna exclaimed in her usual dreamy voice.
"Uh... Hello." Draco muttered and looked down. They stood in awkward silence for a while. Finally, Lysander broke the silence.
"Why are you here?" His voice was sharp and even Luna was surprised.
"If you're here to hurt Mum, then just leave. We're not going to let you any where near our Mum." Lorcan glared at Draco.
"Can we just talk? This is really important." Scorpius asked before Draco could say anything.
"Why of course. Now come along, let's get you seated and let me get you something to drink and eat." Luna handed the last of the Tulips and Daisies to Lorcan and Lysander and then she started towards the house with Scorpius and Draco. Lorcan and Lysander followed close behind. They were seated in the living room and Lysander and Lorcan went to put the Tulips and Daisies away. Luna went into the kitchen to get some juice, tea and cookies. In the meanwhile, Draco noticed the pictures hanging around the room. In the center was the biggest picture with Luna, Lorcan and Lysander, all smiling and sitting on the sofa. Luna had her arms wrapped around them. Some of the smaller frames held pictures of them picnicking or dancing together, enjoying a sunny day, Luna giving Lorcan and Lysander a bath when they were babies, Rolf's and Luna's wedding, Luna sending Lorcan and Lysander to Hogwarts, them standing proudly when the graduated and others. Draco looked at the wedding pictures and frowned a bit. Luna looked extremely happy and Rolf looked dashing in his black robes. Lorcan and Lysander stood in front of them with smiles on their faces. Just then Luna entered the room. She put the teapot and teacups on the table in front of the sofas. Lorcan entered with the cookies and Lysander with the juice. They silently put the cookies and juice on the table and sat down on the sofa facing Draco and Scorpius. Both had hard looks on their faces. Luna sat down in between them. She smiled like her usual self.
"Well, what brings you here?" Luna asked.
"Um... Do Lorcan and Lysander know the truth?" Draco asked.
"Yes we do, and we'd rather be Scamanders or Lovegoods then Malfoys." Lorcan answered evenly.
"Lorcan dear-" Luna began but was cut off by Lysander.
"Mum, I've seriously had enough of these Malfoys having everything they want whenever they want! They can't just walk in here and do what they want, this is our house and you are our mother!" Lorcan stood up in anger. Luna placed a hand on his shoulder and gently pushed him down till he was seated. She gave him a hug.
"I know sweetheart and nobody's going to take me away from you." Luna whispered while she rubbed his back soothingly. Draco watched in sadness and Scorpius's eyes filled with tears. Luna pulled away after a while.
"Alright, that's better. Now please do continue." Luna said to Draco and Scorpius while she handed them cups of tea.
"Can I call you Mother?" Scorpius suddenly blurted out.
Luna's eyes widened and Lorcan's narrowed. She touched his hand to reassure him.
"Of course you can dear. I'd like that." Luna smiled and Lorcan cringed.
They silence filled the room again and all that could be heard was the sipping of tea and munching of cookies. After a while, Lorcan stood up.
"I'm leaving." He started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Luna asked.
"Anywhere. Anywhere but here. I'll be back when they're gone." Lorcan replied.
Lysander sighed and followed his twin, worried about his welfare. Scorpius looked at them wondering if he'd ever get the chance to have a brother like Lysander. Draco stared at his cup.
"Why are you here Draco?" Luna asked.
"Are you willing to give me another chance?" Draco looked at Luna with tear filled eyes.
Luna looked away. "Why? Why now? Why not before?"
"Luna I'm sorry for everything. I'm really sorry. But if I hadn't stayed with Astoria then Father would've killed you, I couldn't bear that. I did what I had to, to protect you." A tear slipped down Draco's cheek.
"I know, its okay." Luna looked back at Draco and he noticed that she was crying as well.
"Does that mean you want..."
"I don't know but for right now, you need to convince Lorcan and Lysander."
"That's going to be a bit difficult." Draco muttered.
"Exactly. Being Malfoys and your sons, I don't know how it wouldn't be."
