Draco isn't sure how to approach Scorpius. He should probably tell him about Hogwarts, and about what it's like there. Maybe he should let his son know everything that he didn't know when he went — it's okay to not be in Slytherin, and he can be friends with anyone he wants to be friends with, and that he should be more open to people that aren't exactly like him. All he wants is for his son to have a better childhood than he did. He would hate his son to be mean. Honestly, he doesn't think that Scorpius has a single mean bone in his body, but Draco still worries.

Draco isn't sure how to approach Scorpius. He knows that he should talk to him more, and tell him how he doesn't care if his son is gay or not. He could come out himself; tell his son that he's bisexual. Maybe he should tell his son how he's come to accept himself. He tries to tell Scorpius that he loves him whenever he can, but it doesn't feel like enough. Draco isn't sure how to open up to his son more, to be closer to him. He's trying to build up the courage.

Draco isn't sure how to approach Scorpius. Their grief is sure to be similar, with the loss of Astoria, and Draco wants to let Scorpius know that he's there for him, if he ever needs a shoulder to cry on or something similar. He knows that he has to be a father, and he has to suck up his grief for his son, but it pains him to even think about doing that. Still, he knows that his son needs him right now. If he's being honest, he needs his son as well. He needs to feel not so alone, and he needs to remember that he's not.
With a deep breath, Draco approaches Scorpius.
