Chapter 8

To Aidan,

I'm thrilled that you consider me as your father, I'm proud that you're my son. You really are a genius, just like your mother. I wouldn't go far as saying that I'm a genius but I've always been one step behind your mother, I'm sure she would love to recall all those moments she would beat me on essays and exams. 

The reason why your mother doesn't talk much about me is because our past lives are complicated, there's so much you don't know about this world, it's so new to you. I will explain it sometime if you want, it's a long story though. But I want you to know that I love your mother very much and I love you too, even though I've never showed it. I love you both more than anything in this world, you're the only purpose in my life.

The ferret thing is also a long story, a story which I really hope you don't find out. It's not one of the best moments of my life.

I'm glad that you wrote to me and I hope that we can get to know each other in the near future. I want you to be a part of my life. You and your mother. Nothing would make me more happier.

Lots of love, Dad x

P.S. Does your mother know that you're writing letters to me, I have a feeling that she won't be happy!

"Wow, Malfoy's had a change of heart."

Aidan, Fred and George were sitting at the front desk of the shop, the shop sign turned to CLOSED.

Aidan, sitting in between his uncles, held the letter in his hands, reading the words his father had written to him for the first time.

"Can we write back?" Aidan asked eagerly.

"Already?' Aidan nodded. 'Sure, why not. And I promise, we will tell you the ferret story despite what Malfoy says."

To Dad,

I love stories, especially long ones but mummy has never told me any stories about you. When I was four years old, she told me a story about a prince who was bad. He did all the wrong things. He was horrible to people and cursed them. He thought he was the best in the world. Then he met a girl. She wasn't rich and she wasn't a princess. The prince made fun of her and taunted her but she never let it get to her. She was always nice to him and kind. She showed him what love meant and that changed him. The girl changed the prince and mummy sometimes says that the prince changed the girl.

I don't know why but I always used to think that the story was about mummy and my dad. Is it you and mummy in the story?

I love you too dad, I think, and I'm sure mummy loves you to even though she doesn't say it. I would like to have my dad in my life, like all my friends. I want to play football with you, and go to the park and play the magic game all my uncles play.

Please don't tell mummy, I haven't told her yet, she'll be cross but I promise to tell her. I promise. Oh and don't tell uncle Fred and George, but I think they are planning something to bring you and mummy together. They have their funny faces on.

Love Aidan x

Draco read the letter once more, his heart filling with pride. His son, a son whose presence Draco didn't know about only a year ago, said he loved him. Draco chuckled. He had a son, who loved him.

And this love gave Draco strength, strength to do everything in his power to bring his family together.

--

"So are you telling me that mummy actually loves daddy but is upset because he kissed another woman yesterday and because he was a big, ugly ferret before I was born?"

"Yep, that just about sums it all up."

Aidan began laughing and chucked a pillow at Fred, who in turn chucked the pillow at George.

"So uncle Fred, what's the plan?" Aidan said curiously.

"Well,' Fred began, a mischievous smirk on his face.

To Aidan,

I promise not to tell your mother, but you'll have to otherwise I will most likely get into more trouble. And you wouldn't like her when she's really, really angry. In a way, I can relate the story to me and your mother. You see, when I was younger, I made many mistakes and your mother changed all that, she changed me, for the better.

I will be in your life no matter what happens, and that magic game you're talking about is called quidditch. I used to be the seeker for my team at school, and I was better than your uncle Harry despite what he might say.

And as hard as it is to admit this, but your uncle Fred and George are the best planners in this world and tell them I would love their help. Anything to get you both in my life.

Now swear to me that you'll talk to your mother and I will see you soon, I promise.

Love Dad x

P.S. Can you please tell your mothers friend Sara, that my friend, your uncle Blaise, whom you have never met, fancies her…literally.

The next day, Aidan had mustered up enough courage to talk to his mother about his daddy. However, he had chosen to do this when everyone was sitting down for breakfast.

Harry and Ginny were over for dinner and so the table was lively as ever. But Aidan managed to find a good moment to interrupt.

"Mum?"

"Yeah sweetie,"

"I-I want to talk about my dad." Aidan looked at Hermione.

The room went silent and everyone stared from Aidan to Hermione, waiting for her reply. But when Hermione didn't answer straightaway, Aidan carried on.

"I-I know who he is,' Hermione looked at him in shock, 'But I want to meet him, talk to him and play with him."

Hermione's heart softened, 'Sweetie, I'm not sure if he wants to meet you. And I don't kno…"

Aidan interrupted, "He does want to me."

"And how do you know?"

"He told me so," and as soon as he said that he bit his tongue and straightaway looked at where his twin uncles were sitting, who began shaking their head and then smacked their heads. Hermione caught this and looked at the three suspiciously.

"How did he tell you…and no lying," she said looking sternly at them, 'I want every detail."

"Okay, but promise you won't be mad."

"I promise."

Aidan looked at his uncles who nodded approvingly, "Well I knew that man who was kissing the other woman,' Hermione cringed, 'Was my dad because we had the same hair and the same eyes and well uncle George told me too, before you.'

Hermione glared at George who just grinned as if he had saved the world.

"And so I wrote a letter to my dad but I didn't know how to send it to him. So uncle Fred and uncle George helped me. I asked him if I can call him dad and I talked about you and how I was a genius. And I also asked him why uncle Fred called him a ferret."

Snickers were heard around the room as they all took a moment to relish on the memory.

"Go on." This time it was Harry who spoke, obviously intrigued what the ferret had to say.

"Then dad said that he was proud to have me as my son and that he loved me and mummy more than anything in the world."

"Wow, Malfoy's had a change of heart," Harry said, slightly shocked.

"My words exactly," George said.

"What else did he say Aidan?" Ginny asked.

"He said he won't tell me the ferret story and he and mummy had a long story. I told him the story about The Bad Prince and that it reminded me of mummy and daddy. Daddy said mummy changed him and he promised to teach me how to play the magic game. Oh and uncle Fred and George are the best planners."

"Anything else," Hermione asked, taking in the information her son had just told her.

"No, I don't-no wait, he said the my uncle Blaise, who I haven't met yet fancies aunt Sara."

Sara, who'd been quiet all this time, gasped. "Oh my god, really?" Aidan nodded. "Oh my, this is great, he is one hot-" she stopped, everyone was staring at her, profusely amused.

"What?" she said, as if stating the obvious wasn't enough. She kissed Aidan on the cheek and hugged him before getting back to her seat a huge smile on her face.

"Oh, he also said that he was better at the magic game than uncle Harry," Aidan snickered.

"No he is not! The cheek of that ferret! Wait till I see him!" Harry shouted, thumping his onto the table. Everyone just laughed.

Hermione however was not amused. "So how many letters have you written to him Aidan?"

"Only a few," he cowered, he could tell that Hermione was mad.

"I can't believe you Aidan. You don't even know him and you didn't even ask me for Permission."

"He's my DAD!" Aidan put force on the word dad just to emphasise how upset he was.

"He won't be anything when I've finished with him."

A/N: So what do you think? I know it's a bit lettery but I wanted it out of the way! Let me know what you think! =D

Now, onto more serious things, who has seen the movie? To be honest, it was good but I was slightly disappointed. So many things had changed and not right compared to the book. But on the funnier side, me and my friends would start singing the 'Physically Fit' part of the Madagascar song, 'I Like To Move It' every time Tom Felton came up, and believe me it was several times! Haha, fun times. I think I even managed to sing it to Hagrid! Lol! Anyway, let me know what you thought of the film and your favourite parts! Oh and did anyone else think that the character Cormac McLaggan was extremely hot??? Lol!

Leave me your thoughts! x
