Scorpius parents were with him every day watching over him. On the third day of their watch he finally woke up. His mother and grandmother started crying when his eyes opened slowly as he looked at them taking a few deep breaths. He looked around a little reaching up when he noticed that he could only see out of one eye. His mother took his hand and moved it back down to his side.
"No Scorpius, I don't want you messing with the bandages."
He took a breath and started shaking his head he tried to sit up. His mother did her best to make him lay back down but he shook her off. Groaning a little he sat up and took a few deep breaths. He looked down at his body that was covered in bandages. He made a face as he looked to his hands. After a moment he took a deep breath and stated pulling the bandages off his hands fighting with a little. This skin on his hands where bright red and he shook his head a little looking to his parents.
"I want them off…"
His parents started to protest but he shook his head again. Pushing their hands away he started pulling all of the bandages off blinking as he uncovered his other eye. His mother started to tear as she looked to his face. There where bright red marks all over his face she had to move away as he pulled the rest of them off.
Draco knowing there was no stopping him stood up and walked over to a supply shelf pulling a pair of pajamas off before walking back. Gently he nudged his mother and wife away as he pulled the curtain around. It took time but he moved Scorpius to the edge of the bed and pulled the pants on him letting his son grip his shoulder to move to standing pulling them up.
Sitting him back down him pulled the shirt on him buttoning the buttons. He couldn't help but smile as he looked to his son. The young man watched and he soon saw a little blond child bouncing around as he would try to get him ready for bed crying for a bed time story. Finishing he looked back to the face that he had become, nearly a mirror of his own at his age. He rests his hand on the back of his head and pulled him in to a gentle hug.
"I'm glad that your ok son."
He smiles a little as he takes a breath and nods hugging me back.
"Ya. Seems I'm a lot more like you then we would ever think. Both nearly dying at the hands of a Potter in our sixth year…"
He let out a week laugh as his father's eyes went flat. He took a breath and leaned back a little.
"It's not a good thing and it was two different things son. I, I deserved it. I was a rotten child and pretty much had a dual with Harry Potter. I was in the wrong and he tried to stop me. The Potter boys hold what I have done against you. And I'm sorry for that, but you're doing your best to show them, that you're a better man."
Scorpius smiled and nodded his head. Draco moved him and helped him get back in the bed before he moved the screen back so the others could see him. He smiled a little bit as they sat together and talked. After a while there was a clearing of his throat and Madam Eastchurch came over to them.
"You have a visitor if that's ok with."
He nodded his head a little bit thinking it was someone from Slytherin house. He smiled little and laughed as his mother started smoothing his sheets down and fussing.
"Oh my."
He looked up at his grandmothers words and he could feel his moth hang open a little it being the last person he expected.
She took a breath and clung to the book in her arms as she watched the family around him. It was amazing how beautiful they where without trying to be. He father leaned against the wall and smiled as he looked to his son. White blond hair slicked back trimmed little beard. His all black suit was sleek his robe hanging over the back of his chair.
His mother sat on a chair next to him her hands fixing the blankets. She had a porcelain smooth face her light brown hair perfect in every way. She looked too him and it was the definition of love and adoration. She wore a dress of deep blue, not a wrinkle on it. The only thing that seemed off was her eyes. Rimmed red and very tired but they were still full of love.
She was brought out of staring at them when his grandmother saw her and said something. Looking to his grandmother she was also in aw by how beautiful she was. She may be older but it was amazing the beauty that held on. She had seen a picture of the women that stood before her and both of her sister, Andromeda and Bellatrix, and it was no question that her beauty out shone them both. She had a warm smile and carrying eyes something you wouldn't expect from a women with a past like hers but it was there.
"I take you're here to see Scorpius?"
She had a silky voice that she was sure could calm anyone that heard it. Taking a breath she merely nodded her head. Taking a breath she clutched on to the books tighter she took a step forward.
"Yes Ma'am. I…I brought him work from class…I thought that he would want it…"
She took a breath as the women watched her and smiled a little. She turned to look to her son and daughter in law with a smirk on her face.
"Come Draco, Astoria; let us give Scorpius and Ms…"
"Um Weasley Ma'am, Rose Weasley."
"Yes...of course…Scorpius and Ms. Weasley some time to go over this school work…I would say itll be nothing that where interested in."
His parents both gave a look to Scorpius and then to Narcissa before making their way over to her and followed her as she walked out. The both cast a very interesting look to Rose before leaving the room. He smiled a little as she walked over to him and sat in the chair that he mother once sat. Sitting with the book in her lap he couldn't help but smile at her.
His looks where a bit shocking but much better when she had seen him three days before. The wicked red marks covering his face where shocking. The hair on the sides of his head where totally gone leaving only the hair on the top of his head, which now swept over his face covering one of his eyes and it seemed the worst of the wicked red scaring over his eye. It made him look dangers, but in the same way he looked even more amazing that way.
"That's some interesting hair you have Scorpius."
He smiled as he looked to her and the way that she said his name. This was the first time it had been Scorpius rather than Prefect Malfoy. He nodded his head running his hand over the back of his head feeling slightly scared skin rather than hair.
"Ya it's a bit different, they said they could grow it back easy. I think that I like it though, might keep it for a bit. I'm sure that it'll look better once the scars are gone."
"Does it hurt still?"
Shaking his head a little he takes a breath as he watches as she reaches out slowly touching his face. He leans in a little resting his face against her hand taking a deep breath. She can't help but smile at his reaction knowing that he still wanted to be close to her. After a moment he smiled and looks to her face before slowly pulling away. He watched as she blushed deeply and grins. After a moment she took a then looked down to the books in her lap.
"I um…I have the lessons from class. I thought I could go over them with you."
He nods his head a little as he moves over a little making room for her on the bed. He smiled as he pats the spot. He waits for her to move over he grins a little as he leans against her a little and watches as she open the book and starts talking about what they had learned in class.
From behind a curtain his grandmother watched the two smiles and work together. She turned to look at his parents and grins.
"Aren't they cute?!"
Taking a breath Draco shakes his head trying to hide a smile.
"Mother, you shouldn't be spying on them."
He turned to look at his wife also staring at the two of them as well. Shaking his head he leans against the wall.
"You too Astoria? Come on you two let's leave them to study."
He smiled a little as he pushes them out the door. With one last look back he smiled as he watched his soon with the young girl. It was rare to see his son this happy around some one other then family. Any other time around friends he just seems to be there. Around here he seemed to light up. It would seem that he and his son where more alike than he thought.
