A/N: I forgot to mention in the first chapter that I own nothing but the plot. Unfortunately! I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner. I had school start on the 20th and I've been busy. I'll try to update more! PLEASE tell me how I can improve my writing skills. Thanks for all the reviews:)
Chapter 4
"Are we all ready?" I asked, picking up Cassi.
"Just about." I heard Draco call out.
"Mummy!" Scorpius yelled, running into the room.
"Scorpius!" I replied, grinning.
"Mummy, where are we going?"
"Do you remember the two boys you played with yesterday right before we left Mummy and Daddy's party?" I asked while putting Cassi in her car seat.
"We're gonna go see James and Albus!" Scorpius clapped his hands with glee.
"But," she heard Draco say, coming into the living room. "if you get into trouble, we're going to take away your broom even longer. Got it?"
"Yes, sir!" He said giving a military salute, before giggling.
Draco scooped him up and headed towards the door, tickling him. "You silly little munchkin!"
We walked outside and got in our car. Apparating isn't exactly safe for babies, and I don't feel comfortable flooing, so we drive for the first year after the baby is born.
As we were driving, no one talked. Cassi was sleeping, and Scorpius was playing with a toy. I noticed that Draco was kind of jittery, and his hands were in a fist.
"Love, it's gonna be okay." I said, trying to comfort him. "You have nothing to worry about."
"The whole reason we decided to stay here was so you could reconnect with your friends. What it they can accept us?"
I chuckled. "We didn't only move here for them. We came for your mother and your friends. And Ariana will be moving here soon, remember? If they can't accept us, then that just sucks for them. And I don't think that Is possible anyway. Scorp loves their boys."
He relaxed a little as I pulled up to Grimmauld Place.
"We're there!" I said in a sing-song voice. Scorpius squealed with excitement. Draco chuckled nervously.
We got to the door, and I knocked. As soon as my hand left the door, it burst open.
"'Mione!" Ginny exclaimed ad gave me a hug. "Come in!"
After we were I the door, I took Cassi from Draco. Ginny knelt down to Scorpius' height and said, "Scorpius, James and Al are upstairs, do ya wanna go play with them 'til lunch is ready?" he nodded excitedly, but then looked at Draco for permission. Draco nodded, and Scorpius took off up the stairs.
Ginny stood up and looked at Draco. I could see she was trying to figure out how to greet him. Ginny is -and always has been- a hugger. But that might not be the best approach at the moment. Draco held out a hand for Ginny to shake, and she beamed.
"Draco! It's good to finally see you after all those letters that I've heard about you in." she said, taking the hand and shaking vigorously.
"Letters, huh? Is that how you knew about all this before last night, Gin?" came Harry's voice as he walked in from the kitchen.
Ginny and I chuckled. "Maybe.." she said.
Draco started to tense up again, so I changed subject.
"I see Sirius' mother is still hanging." I began.
Harry eyes the portrait warily. "Yeah. We asked 'Dromeda about the Black permanent sticking charm, and she told us there was a book that had all the spells and everything made 'specially by and for them, but she hadn't seen it since she was a child. That's the closest we've come to removing it. Let's go to another room so that he doesn't wake up."
"I'll see if my mother knows anything about that book. Maybe she has it." Draco said quietly.
Ginny beamed again, trying to let Draco loosen up. "Really? That would be awesome. Last year, Janes pulled the curtain open, thinking it was a window. I think it's the only time I've heard her not scream. She saw that it was only a child in the room, and started telling him all this crap about how we were blood traitors and she could teach him how to be very popular in the wizarding world by her standards. The best part was his reply. He said, 'My mummy and daddy are the best people ever. Daddy got rid of a very bad man, Moldywart.' and he closed the curtain and walked away. It was freaking hilarious."
I bust up laughing, and looked at Draco. He had an amused look on his face, and he was on the verge of laughter. Ginny was laughing as well, and Harry chuckled. Once we'd all stopped laughing, Harry spoke.
"That'd be great if she did. Thank you very much." he said, not looking at Draco. I smiled. Even Harry was trying.
Then Ron came in. He saw us all smiling, and looked like he might explode.
