In the Previous Chapter…

"But he might be awake! He's only asleep, and people wake up from sleep all of the time!" Rose moaned.

"He's probably still asleep, Rose."

"But we won't know if we don't go and check!" Rose rebutted, and at this Draco couldn't see the point arguing any further.

"Fine…5 minutes, okay?" he sighed before leading Rose up the castle steps and up to the Hospital Wing.

Draco walked Rose towards the Hospital Wing, all the while thinking. Rose really was an intelligent toddler, as she'd tricked him into bringing her up here. But she did have a point – Scorpius could be awake for all they knew, as Madam Patil had said that he should be awake within a week. Draco was disturbed from his thoughts by Rose shrieking and letting go of his hand, running off.

"SCORP'US!"

Draco looked up and saw that through the open doors to the hospital wing, there was a person with an unmistakably Malfoy-Blonde head talking to McGonagall. He sprinted after Rose towards his son, who had looked up and stopped talking the second he heard his name.

Rose skidded to a halt beside Scorpius, who sat upright in his bed, and beamed an ear-to-ear grin. "You're awake!" she shrieked again before climbing up onto his bed with him and hugging him. Scorpius looked down at the little red-head and hugged her back, happy to see her.

"Yeah, I'm awake, but I can't really remember why I was asleep anyway" he said gently with a frown, looking to McGonagall for an explanation.

"You don't remember? What was your last memory?"

"Walking out of the common room this morning with Rose, going to breakfast" Scorpius said, confused.

"That was two days ago, silly" Rose giggled. She then turned angry and grimaced "My cousins and your friends pushed you onto the floor and you hit your head" she said, hoping that this would explain everything.

"Rose asked you to sit at the Gryffindor table" McGonagall explained as she saw Scorpius' look of confusion as to why he got floored in the first place.

"That would slightly explain this then" Scorpius muttered. "So, what've you been up to whilst I've been asleep, Rosie?" he smiled at the little girl, who was now sat in his lap playing with the hem of her jumper.

"Draco took me to Hogsmeade and I got to sit with Uncle Nev at the staff table for dinner!" she giggled before offering Scorpius one of her sweets for the bag still clutched in her hand. Scorpius then noticed that Draco was stood a few metres away, watching the whole encounter.

"Dad?! What are you doing here?" Scorpius asked.

"Checking that my boy's alright" Draco smiled, walking over to Scorpius and ruffling his hair gently, so as not to hurt him.

"So I got floored by Weasleys and my mates, and now I've got a massive migraine" Scorpius moaned slightly, leaning back against his pillows.

"What's wrong, Scorp'us?" asked Rose, worriedly turning to face him.

"My head just hurts a bit" Scorpius grimaced.

"My boy, lay down. I'll go and get Madam Patil" McGonagall said before running off to get the Healer.

"Rose, why don't you jump off of Scorp for a minute and come sit next to him in this chair?" Draco said before indicating the chair next to him. Rose carefully climbed off of the bed and settled down in the armchair next to Scorpius. Scorpius then slowly lay back down and moaned again.

"This sucks" he groaned. "My head is killing me."

"Mr Malfoy, it's good to see you awake" Madam Patil said, hurrying over to check his temperature. "You'll probably be in here for another day yet, but you seem perfectly fine. You've got 4 stitches in the back of your head, Mr Malfoy, so when I let you out, you must be extremely careful not to break them. If you do you'll more than likely be back in here again" she said.

"So Scorp'us can come back to our room today then?" Rose asked hopefully.

"Maybe, if he can stay awake for the rest of the day and feels better later" Madam Patil smiled, happy for the little girl who was getting very excited.

"Can Scorp'us come to dinner? I want to sit with him again!" she said, smiling.

"Maybe, Rosie, but at the moment, my head still really hurts so I might have to stay here until it's a bit better" Scorpius said quietly, carefully turning his head to face the little girl. Rose's face fell a little, but she soon covered it up by launching into chatter about what she had been up to in detail.

Draco and the two teachers left the pair alone once they had started to talk. Madam Patil turned to them when they were out of ear shot and said "He'll be fine, but those stitches could come loose if he so much as gets bumped into, so he'll have to be extremely careful, Minerva."

"I'll make sure of it" she nodded before turning to Draco. "Draco, your son is better now, so it is up to you what you want to do."

"If it's alright with you, can I stay for tonight? I'll floo home tomorrow morning" he said before turning back towards the Hospital Wing, for he had just heard a scream. The two women also heard the scream and rushed back to Scorpius and Rose.

They weren't expecting to find Rose on top of Scorpius in a fit of giggles, being tickled by Scorpius. As they approached them, Scorpius stopped tickling Rose and she collapsed on top of his chest, cuddling into him happily. Draco smiled when he saw Scorpius. He really was proud of his son, for all he'd done so far this year.

"Scorp, I'm gonna head home tomorrow if that's alright" he said walking over to him, "But I'll be back the second anything happens."

"Okay, dad" Scorpius smiled, casually stroking Rose's little auburn ringlets with his fingers. Draco once again couldn't be more proud of his son, and couldn't help thinking that one day he'd make a fantastic dad himself.

"I'll go and tell your Uncle Nev where you are, Rose, but I'll see you later, okay?" he said to Rose, smiling at her as she slowly unburied her head from Scorpius' chest.

"Okies" she giggled, sitting up and hugging the elder Malfoy before smiling at Scorpius. Draco then left the find Neville, leaving Rose and Scorpius once again alone in the hospital wing (for McGonagall and Madam Patil had left to go and talk in her office.)

"I've missed you, Scorp'us" Rose grinned before pinching his nose playfully.

Scorpius chuckled slightly before pinching Rose's nose back. "I missed you too, hun" he said before hugging Rose close and giving her a soft kiss on her temple.

"Ewwwwww!" Rose squealed, before giggling and giving Scorpius a kiss on the cheek back. "You only get to kiss me if I get to kiss you too" she smirked before cuddling back lovingly into Scorpius' embrace.
