Six - mother & father
The mirror had swirled for a few minutes.
"Erm... Just- just give it some time..." Scorpius said, awkwardly.
Then a thunk was heard, making the siblings turn to look at the mirror.
"Sorry, your brother got hold of my mirror." A familiar voice said with some background noise making it clear that there was movement behind the mirror.
"Why are you calling me? Don't you all have school?" The man from the mirror said.
Scorpius looked at the siblings, pursed his lips and said.
"We got a hold of a time turner. And I'm sure you would know why we're calling now..." Scorpius trailed off.
"You did not..." The man said gravely.
Scorpius moved the mirror so that the man could see the people behind, meaning the people behind could also "Draco Malfoy..." The students murmured.
The present Draco was shocked, it was a different thing entirely to see himself as a "mother". The future Draco looked just as shocked, then laughed and even laughed harder, his face slipping out of view. The present Draco bit his lip with a smile.
"I've always imagined how my past self would have thought about this." Draco said, face back into view, face glowing with joy.
Then his face changed into a proper mother one, meaning... a very stern face.
"I suppose I'll have to go back in time to collect you all?" Draco said, a bit amused.
"Yeah..." Scorpius said, face tinted pink.
He sighed.
"It's not a surprise really... considering who your father is." Future Draco murmured.
"I'll be there in a few minutes, stay put." Future Draco then said, voicing warning.
"He means don't die." Leo said, laughing.
"You know me so well." Came the dry remark.
Then the mirror swirled and then the reflection of young Scorpius was all that was seen.
"So... how was it that you came across a time turner and went to the past?" A Ravenclaw asked.
Rose sighed.
"My poor time turner. I hope it isn't broken." She said, eyes narrowing at Hugo as he rubbed his neck.
"Sorry..." He said.
"So, an accident." A Slytherin said, more specifically, Theodore Nott.
"Yeah, an accident." Hugo confirmed.
They just all sat in awkward silence, although the Slytherins didn't really mind. "You guys mentioned that you guys have another brother?" A Hufflepuff asked, breaking the silence.
Narcissa smiled. "Yeah!" She said, enthusiastically.
"What house do you think is he going to be in? Gryffindor?" A Gryffindor student asked.
"No." Abigail said, shaking her head. "We think he's going to be in Ravenclaw, but another Slytherin won't be minded."
"How are you all Slytherins when Harry Potter's a Gryffindor?" A Gryffindor asked.
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled, smiling knowingly.
"Well... this just goes to show that every person's different and not the replica of their parents." Harrison said.
Harris nodded in agreement.
"Well... the hat did think about putting me into Gryffindor." Leo said.
"But, my ambition and cunning overruled my courage and bravery, so the hat put me in Slytherin. No regrets" he smiled.
Some students nodded along to what he was saying. A few more minutes of silence before the waiting wizard arrived.
With a few swirls of the wind, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter appeared, Draco was holding onto a toddler's hand.
"He came to work with me today, and insisted on coming." Draco said. The toddler released Draco's hand and ran towards Narcissa. "Hi my little star." Narcissa cooed, picking the toddler up and placing him on her hips.
"Hi!" He said, hugging Narcissa.
"Our little star here is called Henry, a nice, short, and sweet name." Leo said.
"Sweet but I'm not short!" Henry crossed his hands.
But after enough time he deemed worthy of being mad, he held out his hands to Leo, urging him to pick him from Narcissa's arms. Leo gladly complied.
"He has more of dad's looks than mum's. But he has more of a mum's attitude than dad's." Leo said, referring to Harry as the dad and Draco as the mum. Leo bounced Henry up and down gently on the side of his hips.
Henry had Harry's messy raven hair, but because of Draco being the other parent, the hair was more tamable, giving him a classy messy hairdo. He had the same green eyes as his father, Harry.
"He's adorable!" A group of girls from Hufflepuff said. "Thank you." Future Draco said, surprising the girls.
"Now, we should get going, you do have classes and I do have to get back to work." Future Draco said. "Work? What work?" Present Draco said.
"He works alongside me." Future Harry said for the first time, pulling Draco against his side. "As the Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic." Future Draco added.
Present Draco's eyes widened.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah." Draco smiled.
"Aw, mum... can't we stay here for a little longer? Please?" Harris whined.
"Please?" The other siblings chorused.
"Just a little bit more." Future Harry said, giving in.
"You're spoiling them!" Draco said, hitting Harry gently while moving away.
"Don't act as if you don't." Harry said teasingly, pulling Draco back close.
