~*Part 5 Chapter 2*~

"If you don't get a move on father some one else is going to snatch her up. Believe me, she's had offers before," he grimaced at the reminder of the train ride to school when he'd spent the entire time being hounded by a Slytherin 7th year about his adopted mother.

"Many offers," he clarified as his memory supplied more instances. "So far she's turned them down, I think because of me," he frowned a bit, hating that his presence in her life had stopped her from finding love. "But now, well now I'm not there am I? One of these days she's going to accept one of those offers and you'll have forfeited your chance."

"What are you rambling about Scorpius?" Draco finally demanded.

"You know exactly what I'm rambling about. Mum. You wanted to marry her when you were teenagers. Now you have that chance. She already raised your son what more could you ask?" He laughed and reluctantly Draco smiled in return.

"It's not that simple Scorpius."

"Of course it is. You ask her on a date, show her a good time, then another date and another, until it is acknowledged that the two of you are together. After a reasonable time you propose, she accepts, you get married and only then are you allowed to shag her. Meanwhile I will live happily in denial because the thought of you violating my pure mother is absolutely abhorrent." He shuddered, wishing he'd stopped his diatribe long before reaching the shagging part and the disturbing images it brought with it.

His father meanwhile had a large lavisicious smile at the thought of getting his hands on the girl who had featured in so many of his naughty dreams over the years. And plans began to form as the two Malfoy's schemed to get their girl legally part of the Malfoy legacy.
