Chapter Two
- Draco Malfoy, A Father?

"Malfoy, huh? It seems I haven't kept up with him as well as I thought."

"You know our father?"

"Indeed I do, I was one of his teacher at Hogwarts."

"Oh"

"Who is your mother?"

"Our mother is-"

"Draco!" Pansy squealed. Alisa was severly pissed that she was interrupted, but Alex turned to see his father.

Draco Malfoy ignored Pansy as he entered the shabby pub. Alex turned back around but the man was gone.

"How typical." Alisa commented, then launched herself into her fathers arms. Draco smiled and hugged his daughter. "Hello Sweetie!"


Pansy nudged Alex with her arm. "Go on" she whispered.

Draco stood up. "What's wrong Alex? Too old to hug your father?"

"Yes"

"Then your too old for a gift, eh?"

Alex closed his grey eyes as he battled himself internally. He wanted to prove to Tami that he could ignore his father for an entire day. ~Damn, Tami. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have this problem.~ he thought.

~~*~~ "Goodness, Alex. You are such a little kid. You'll do anything your father tells you won't you?" Tami said.

"I am not. I can disobey him anytime I choose."

"No you can't! You'll always be there, listening, behaving, being the perfect son."

"I will not!"

"Alright, then, I dare you to ignore your father for 24 hours, break every rule possible."

"Fine!"~~*~~

Draco blinked. Alex was acting very strangely. Maybe he was sick, or maybe he just missed his friends. Alex shook his head at his father and turned his back to him. ~Ok, something's definately wrong with him.~

"Alex, are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Alex responded coldy. "Can we just go back home."

"Yeah, I suppose that'll be fine."

"Good."
