chapter three; C is for Cold as Ice

"Dad?" A six year old crept to his father's bed. "Daddy?" Draco woke up.

"Scorpius? It's three in the morning. Go back to sleep..." Draco yawned and sat up, glancing to where his wife should be lying. "Where's your mother?"

Scorpius looked uncomfortable. "Mummy went out with Auntie Daphne...and I can't sleep, Daddy."

"It's very simple, you just close your eyes and drift off-"

"No, Daddy, I had a nightmare." Scorpius' eyes were huge as he stared at his dad. Draco sighed. He wouldn't be getting any more sleep tonight.

He pulled his son onto his lap. "A nightmare? What was it about, Scor?"

Scorpius trembled. "I was stuck in this really cold place, and it didn't get warmer and nobody came to save me!" He looked up. "Where were you, Daddy? I was dying."

Avoiding the question, Draco kissed the top of the blond head. "You can sleep here tonight, Scor."

a/n; aweehhhh...i'm sorry, but Scorpius is so cute to me! :D
