~Two Years Later~
Two years have passed and a year since the war and two years since Dumbledore's murder. Christi and Draco had gotten married in a small ceremony with only close friends and family there after the war was over. Not too long after they had gotten married they had, surprisingly, welcomed a baby boy. They had named him, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. They had followed Draco's family tradition of giving astronomical names started in the family by his paternal grandmother. Christi was currently pacing around the small boys room trying to get him to go down for a nap.
Draco walks in and leans against the door frame smirking.
Scorpius had inherited the Malfoy stubbornness.
"Having trouble?" he asks.
"Yes, he refuses to go down for a nap. He's a highly stubborn little boy."
"Here let me." Draco said going over to two.
She smiles and transfers the fussy little boy over to his father. As soon as he was in his daddy's arms Scorpius calmed right down and snuggled into his shoulder and went right to sleep.
"Show off." She mutters.
Draco laughs and goes and lies Scorpius in his crib then they head downstairs.
Just as they get down there Errol goes and flies into the window.
"What the hell?" Draco says going over and opening it.
"That's the Weasley's owl, Errol."
"What is he doing here?"
"No idea." Christi said as he flew over and dropped a letter in her hands.
"It's Hermione's hand writing." She frowns.
She quickly opens it and reads it.
"Well?" he asks.
"She, Ron and Harry, want to reconcile for what happened two years ago in our sixth year. For everything. I mean I guess now that Harry is the head of the Auror's office and they know who the Death Eaters are they actually believe us now. They want to meet up this weekend but Cedric is going to Romania, my mum and dad are going to Greece, you have a meeting with the school about being their new DADA Professor."
"I can reschedule."
"No it's fine. I'll bring him with me and see their reactions. That will be priceless."
"Okay, just you two be careful please."
"We will."
He goes and wraps his arms around her and kisses her softly.
"We have plan Scorpius' birthday party next week." Draco said.
Before she could respond Christi pulls out of his embrace and runs over to the sink and empties the contents of her stomach. Draco goes over and holds her hair back from her face and rubs her back as Cedric floo's in with his and Christi's parents.
"Is Christi okay?"
"Not sure. We were just talking and she just got ill all of the sudden."
"Christi?" her mother asks once Christi stops heaving.
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Really."
"We can…"
"Daddy, I'm fine really, don't cancel your trip. You and mum have been waiting for this trip for a while. Go."
They nod and Cedric looks over at the table and sees the letter from Hermione.
"Are you planning on going this weekend?" he asks.
"Yes, the four of us, need this. Besides what harm can it do?"
"A lot of harm." He said.
"Cedric really. No harm can come out of this. If anything we don't reconcile and never speak to each other again."
"Alright. If anything goes wrong summon me and I'll rush home." Cedric said.
"Okay."
"So what made you get sick?" Amos asks.
"Well let's just say in six months Scorpius is going to have a brother or sister." Christi said smiling.
Draco smiles and picks her up and spins her smiling.
"Draco! Stop!" she giggles.
He smiles and sets her back down on her feet as he kisses her.
"Okay, not in front of the parents!" Amos teases.
Christi giggles and looks at her father.
"Daddy."
"Just teasing." He chuckles.
~Saturday~
Christi was getting Scorpius ready for the day out while Draco was getting ready for the meeting at the school.
"I am so nervous." Draco said trying to tie his tie but he was having trouble.
"Draco, calm down. You're going to do fine. Besides McGonagall knows you and what you can do with DADA. You know all their secrets and all their moves. Something that will be helpful."
He smiles and kisses her as she finishes off tying his tie.
"I love you." He mutters softly.
"Love you too. Now go." She said.
"Okay." He said going and gently kissing Scorpius on the forehead.
"Love you buddy, be good for your mum." He said.
After that he heads out.
Christi quickly gets ready then she goes and puts Scorpius in his stroller then she heads out.
She goes over to Diagon Alley and over to the Leaky Cauldron.
She gets in there then immediately sees Ron, Harry and Hermione.
She takes a deep breath then lets it out and looks at Scorpius.
"are you ready buddy?"
He just sneezes and scrunches up his face.
"I'll take that as a yes."
She goes over to them.
"Well long time no see. It's been about a year now." Christi said smiling getting their attention and look over at her.
"Bloody hell!" Ron said.
"Whoa!" Harry said.
"Oh my gosh!" Hermione said.
"I'm guessing all of you are shocked."
"More than shocked. Blown away!" Harry said.
Christi laughs.
"So you and Draco?"
"Right after the war. It was really small. Just close friends and family. Then a few months later Scorpius arrived. He was a total surprise. But we couldn't be happier right now." Christi smiles.
"That's good. Look Christi I am really sorry for the trouble I caused sixth year and especially about putting Ma…Draco in the hospital. I panicked and that was the first thing that came to mind. But you two were serious. The Mark was forced on him. We got a confession from Bill and Zeke. They told us everything from what happened the day the Mark was forced on him. He got it to protect you and to prevent Bellatrix from killing you."
"Yea."
"We're sorry for not believing you and everything and for nearly letting you two get killed last year in the war." Hermione said.
"Don't worry about it. You guys thought you were protecting me and I really appreciate it. I'm sorry to Harry for breaking your nose giving you the black eye the day you put Draco in the hospital. I was sick of everyone trying to prove he was a Death Eater and you doing that was the final straw."
Scorpius starts getting fussy and whines.
"Can I hold him? I can feed him if need be." Hermione asks.
"Sure and great. Just be warned he likes to spit up on people. He finds it funny."
Hermione laughs as Christi unstraps Scorpius from his stroller and picks him up.
"BLOODY HELL! He looks just like Draco!" Harry said.
"Tell me about it." Christi said as she handed Scorpius to Hermione.
He immediately goes to play with her hair making her laugh.
"Careful he's going through the hair pulling stage." She said handing Hermione the baby cereal she had made before she left the house.
"He's precious. Is he good?"
"He's a fantastic little guy."
"Where's Draco?" Ron asks.
"At Hogwarts. He was offered a position there as the new Defense Against Dark Arts position."
"Is he going to take it?" Hermione asks as she feeds Scorpius.
"No idea. He was a nervous wreck when he left the house today so hopefully he's calmed down by now." She said.
Half way through their lunch Draco comes in smiling.
"Babe!" he says and Christi looks up at him.
"What?" she asks.
"I got it! McGonagall and your dad vouched for me and I got it. At first the Twelve Governor's and the Ministry didn't think it was a good idea but she talked them into it. I got it!"
"THAT'S GREAT!" she says happily jumping up and hugging him tightly.
"Congratulations." Hermione, Ron and Harry all said together.
"Thanks." He said.
"I see Scorp has taken a liking to you guys."
"He likes Harry and me. He screamed bloody hell when Ron held him but stopped the moment Harry took him." Hermione giggles.
Draco laughs as Harry hands Scorpius to his father.
He smiles a semi gummy smile at his father. He had two teeth on top and two on the bottom.
"Dada!" Scorp said.
"DADA!" he repeats laughing.
"Is he?" Draco says.
"Yes, he is! He just started talking." Hermione said.
"So last I heard is that you and W…Ron are a couple." Draco asks Hermione shifting Scorpius to his other hip.
"Yea." She says going pink in the cheeks.
"You two are good for each other. What about you Harry? Anyone special?"
"Ginny." He said.
"Ron's sister right?" he confirms.
"Right." He said.
The five of them all sit down and talk as Scorpius laughs and hits the table with his hands laughing at anything and everything.
THE END!
