A/N:

Me: Sorry I left you hanging last night like an evil Slytherin.

Al: Stop insulting me!

Me: I didn't say you were an evil Slytherin now did I?

Al: Oh. Sorry.

Me: So are you ready for more unexpected or maybe expected reactions? Cause it's time for Draco!

Scorpius: He's gonna kill me isn't he?

Me: Relax. He won't kill you. I make no promises about severely injuring you though. Time for the next chapter of Unexpected!

Draco read Scorpius's letter silently. Then he slammed his fist on the table.

There would have been no problem, none at all without Lucius to consider. He himself had no problem with Scorp being in Ravenclaw. At least it wasn't Gryffindor. And he had to admit that Slytherin's standing in the wizarding world was not what it had been. Not at all.

But it would have been so much better, so much, for him to be in Slytherin. Then he wouldn't have to deal with Lucius. Lucius still clung to the old ways. He had prevented Draco from truly rebuilding his life. Oh, he had tried. Tried so many times. So many. But Lucius was always there to knock them down again. He hated it that Scorp was hated because what Lucius had done, what he had done.

Lucius had been firm on Scorp being in Slytherin, for some unknown reason. Draco had no clue. But he knew that Lucius couldn't find out about Scorp being in Ravenclaw. No, he could not.

As for Scorp being friends with a Potter and a Weasley? Shocking, but he could deal. He wouldn't stand in the way of his son building a new life for himself. Maybe he'd succeed where he himself had failed.

He wondered how the two's parents would react when they found out. Potter would probably take it in stride. Weasel however, would blow his top. What he wouldn't give to see that. Granger who he had heard had married the Weasel would have her hands full with that one.

But again, Lucius could not be allowed to find out about Scorp's new friends. There was no guarantee of what he would or would not do.

"Draco, what are you doing? I heard a noise." His wife's voice called out.

Draco smiled. Astoria was one of the few good things in his life now. She had looked past his past and seen his heart. Many people couldn't fathom that he could have changed. Like it was a foreign concept. Even after he had volunteered in the cleanup effort after the war, even after all he had done. But Draco knew he deserved it.

"I was just reading a letter from Scorpius dear." He answered as he walked into the other room.

"What house is he in? Slytherin right?"

"Surprisingly, no. He's in Ravenclaw. Like you were."

"I should've known. Even though he's a carbon copy of you on the outside, he's like me on the inside." She said, pride gleaming in her eyes.

"Don't I know it. And apparently, he is now friends with Rose Weasley and Albus Potter."

"Well, isn't that surprising. I was just reading about those two in the Prophet. Guess what houses they're in."

"Gryffindor? What else could they be?"

"Wrong! Somehow, that Albus is in Slytherin!"

A Potter in Slytherin, Draco thought, that's worse than Scorp being in Ravenclaw. Lucius will freak.

"And that Rose, she's in Hufflepuff! And you know the Rincloffs?"

"Of course. Everyone knows who they are."

"Their daughter Elena, started this year. Everyone thought she'd be in Slytherin like Rick. But she's not. She's in Gryffindor!"

"Is the sorting hat mad?"

"I guess he must be. Hon, I have a feeling that times are going to be real tough for them. Almost like our school years."

You couldn't disregard Astoria's feelings. She had a bit out Seer's blood in her. Not enough to give prophecies, but her feelings were almost always correct.

"Merlin, I hope not."

A/N:

Me: Was that good?

Rose: It was to short.

Scorpius: Why's you freak me outearlier? He was fine with it.

Me: I make no promises about Lucius though.

*Scorp starts shaking again*

Rose: You freaked Scorpius out again! *punches me in face*

Me: That was uncalled for! *Locks Rose in closet*

Rose: Help!

Me: Well, in order for me to let Rose out and proceed with the story I need 25 reviews. So let's get chopping! Tell me, was it…

Scropius: Terrifying?

Rose: Horrible?

Elena: Fantabulous?

Albus: Or just okay?

Me: review and tell me! I need at least 25 reviews!
