How do these things happen? Ch. 10
****Harry's POV****
So this is Disneyland. I've heard of it but I never thought it would be like this. It looks pretty cool. Draco looks WAY over excited.
"Can we go on that?" Draco asked pointing at a massive mountain looking ride entitled 'big thunder mountain railroads'. Dad laughed at his enthusiasm.
"Sure let's go get into the line." We headed towards the line. It looked like a pretty cool ride.
We went on the ride. It was fantastically fantastic. It was suppose to be a run away train it was a cool.
****Draco's POV****
I'm so glad I finally got to go to Disneyland. I wanted to go ever since I heard of. How would Dad know though? Must have just been a coincidence.
"Hey dad there's this ride it's called Pirates of the Caribbean. Can we go on it next?" I said pointing towards it on my map of the park.
"Sure Draco, but Harry gets to pick the next ride." I nodded I didn't care what I went on as long as I got to go on rides.
****Harry's POV****
Pirates of the Caribbean was another fantastically fantastic ride. Inside there were ships battling, and skeletons everywhere. There was this one part where they were dunking this one fellow into a well and the funniest part was where these prisoners were trying to get the key from a dog but were failing miserably.
"Ok Harry it's your turn to pick a ride." I looked at the map to see if any of the rides appealed to me. There was one that particularly stood out to me.
"How about space mountain." Draco's eyes got so big I thought they were going to fall out of his head.
"Oooh can we can we can we?" Dad raised an eyebrow.
"Wow Draco you're really enthusiastic today." Draco appeared to calm down.
"Yeah well I've just wanted to come here for a long time." Me, dad and mom all got a look of understanding on our face.
We headed towards Space Mountain.
****Angelique's POV****
The boys really appear to be enjoying their day. Especially Draco. I think he's starting to warm up to me.
Draco can't keep the grin off his face. I've never seen a 15 year old boy so enthusiastic about Disneyland. It is true that he's never been here before and wanted to come for quite some time. We will be sure to buy lots of souvenirs.
We all went on Space Mountain. I sat next to Sev and Harry and Draco sat next to each other. They seem to like all the rides we've gone on.
"Sev its 12:30 maybe we should get some lunch." We decided to go to the pizza port right out of Space Mountain.
****Draco's POV***
I LOVE this place. I would live here if I could.
"Boy's we only have enough time for you to go on 2 more rides. We have other things to get done today." I could feel the disappointment growing on my face. "I promise you Draco that we will come here again someday. As a family."
"Harry you pick your ride first then I'll pick."
"Aright want to go on the haunted mansion." I know exactly what ride I'm going to want to go on.
***Severus' POV****
Haunted mansion here we come. I'm so glad this day is going good. I wanted it to be perfect especially for Draco. I knew for quite sometime he wanted to come to Disneyland. I also know which ride he's going to make us go on.
This days not over yet we have more exciting things still ahead.
"Wow that was great" said Harry as he walked out of the haunted mansion. "So Draco, what ride to now?"
Draco got the devious look on his face then a smirk. "Splash Mountain," I knew it was coming I just rolled my eyes.
"Alright let's go, let's get this over with."
****Harry's POV****
Dad doesn't look too excited about Splash Mountain. But what can you expect with a name like that? I'm sure it has something to do with water.
We headed towards a ride I could only guess was Splash Mountain. We got on. It started as some really annoying music with some really annoying electronic bunnies. Then it just got even more and more annoying.
Then we stopped then all of a sudden we were going straight down. That was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life.
"What wrong Harry did you not enjoy that?" I look at him with a look that purely said you're going to regret that.
"Draco, do you ENJOY torturing people?"
"Of coarse I do Harry didn't you know?" I really did.
"Dad are we going to go now?" He nodded.
"So Sev where are you having us go next?" asked my mother. Dad just shook his head.
"I'll just tell you were going to have to take a bus to get there."
"A bus?"
"Yes, a bus. It's on the other side of the city."
****Sev's POV****
We got on the bus with only me knowing our destination. I'm not sure they will enjoy it but I'm hoping they will. We're almost there.
"Dad how much longer is this going to take?" asked Harry who seamed to be waiting for us to get there.
"We're almost there Harry just hold your horses." He got a look of utter confusion on his face.
"I don't have any horses."
"Harry, it's just a figure of speech." His face lit up with understanding.
We turned the corner and we were there.
"Severus, are you serious?" said Angelique looking quite surprised.
I smiled at her. "Aren't I always?" she rolled here eyes at me. "Ok you three lets get going. The game starts in 10 minutes." Harry and Draco looked confused.
****Harry's POV****
Ok we're going to a game. What kind of game? I know it's not a quidditch game.
"Dad what kind of game is it?"
"Baseball," he said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
I turned to Draco. "Baseball," we both said at the same time.
"Yes baseball, have you heard of it?" We both nodded our heads.
"Yeah, but why are we going to a baseball game?"
"Why not? I thought it would be fun. Ok here are your tickets, let's go in."
We went in and found our seats. We had some pretty good seats considering how big this stadium is. The game was Angels vs. Yankees. It was quite exciting. It was a bit confusing at first but after a while I started understanding it more. Draco started getting really into the game. I think he wanted the Angels to win.
****Angelique's POV****
Draco's new name has been on my mind all day. Should we tell them? If only I had been there to raise them they would have been raised correctly. I don't think it's too late to have them start but it may be a little harder for them to understand.
"Severus lets go get them something to eat."
"Oh you can go I'll just stay here and make sure they're all right."
"Sev, come with me to get food." I said with a bit of harshness in my voice.
"Oooh, ok" He got up and went over to the snack area.
"Severus, what are we going to do about Draco's new name?"
"So that's what this is about." I nodded. "Well what do you think we should do?"
"I think we should with having Draco read the book. I think it would do Harry some good to read it as well."
"Maybe we could read it as a family?" It was more of a question then a statement. I flung my arms around his neck.
"That's a great idea Sev. When should we start? Tomorrow is Saturday."
"I think we should start tomorrow."
We got some snacks for the boys and went back and sat with them.
****Draco's POV****
I'm sure they went over there to talk but what exactly did they need to talk about? I'll probably find out sooner or later. This game is quite interesting. Not as interesting as quidditch but I think the whole theme for today is American muggle.
"Dad what time is it?"
"Its 5:00 the game should be over in about half an hour." I nodded.
"Dad isn't there a time difference from here and England?"
"Well Draco when you Floo this far you don't only go through Floo but you also go through a time hole. So you see we got here the same time it was in England and the time we leave here is the time we will arrive back in England." Now it all makes sense to me.
"Ok now I understand." He nodded. "So what are we doing after the game?"
"We're just going to go to dinner and then back to Hogwarts." Good because I was really tired this has been a fun filled day we had today.
The game finished with the Angels winning by 6 runs.
TBC
a/n: I'll finish their birthday in the next chapter. If you want a hint on Draco's name it has to do with something it says in my member portfolio. If you've already figured it out then good for you. If you haven't then you may not like the next few chapters but I promise it will be really good plot. Especially when school starts again.
