Author's notes: Still can't move forward on my other fics, and I had a really cute idea for this prompt so I decided to go with it. This is my second entry to "20 Prompts, 20 Drabbles"
Thanks to slumber and MrsBates93, my wonderful beta's, for getting this back to me.

Draco could not comprehend how his wife had convinced him to sit in a mall, for three days, with a bunch of Muggles – mostly men, probably roped in by their wives as well – for a stupid piece of technology. What the fuck was an iPad anyway? And why did his four-year-old son, Scorpius, know what it was? How can a four-year-old demand something as silly as this flimsy piece of whatever it was?

He rolled his eyes at the memory of his son's tantrum earlier on Monday saying he would lock himself in his room for the duration of his birthday party the following weekend if he did not have an iPad amongst the presents. Draco had scoffed at the outburst and told him that he wouldn't have a birthday party if continued with the attitude. And what did the little terror do? He scowled at him and walked off in a huff. Draco thought that was that – but no. Scorpius wouldn't be a Malfoy if he left it at that.

The brat, and yes, he may be the fruit of his loins, but Draco couldn't think of him as anything else at the moment, had found his mother talking with Lucius and Narcissa, and proceeded to tell them about how he – Draco Malfoy, his usually adoring, loving parent – did not love him at all and wanted to make his fourth birthday the worst birthday in the existence of birthdays. He said all this while trying to hold back tears, in such a stoic way, his lips trembling, that there was just no way he didn't have his audience wrapped around his little finger.

When Draco joined them in the library, his mother scowled at him for upsetting her precious grandson. Lucius said, in his usual bored tone – that meant he was absolutely serious and if you do not rectify the situation, there will be serious action done against your person – that he better do whatever he must to ensure that Scorpius' birthday was not the worst birthday in the history of birthdays. Draco swore he saw his son smirk at him.

That evening, when Draco went to say goodnight to Scorpius and Cassiopeia, his lovely daughter had the audacity to remind him "Scorp not happy wichu Daddy." He tried to kiss his son, but he rolled to his side and stared at the wall.

Draco had enough with that and decided he'd get his wife to nip their son's misbehavior in the butt. He was supposed to be the fun – you couldn't possibly be mad at them, ever – parent. Hermione was always the strict – behave or no dessert – parent.

Before he could even say anything to her though, she placed a baby girl who just fallen asleep – it looked like it was Ara – into his arms. While he put Ara into the bassinet by their bed, Hermione tried to rock Aries back to sleep. He was just about to address the whole birthday issue when she shut him up with a look.

"There's a store in Bath. The iPad releases on Friday but my parents said that people were already lining up for it so you may want to get some stuff together and head over there tomorrow. The children and I will visit with you each day and bring you food. I'll have Bubbles prepare you some food to last for a few days."

Draco was gob-smacked. His wife was insisting that he indulge his four-year-old son! He was just about to give her a piece of his mind when she shushed him once more, placed Aries into the other bassinet, got into bed, kissed him on the cheek, and cuddled into him before falling asleep.

And so here he was, four days later, waiting in front of the Apple Store – having finished the last of his provisions, clean only because of a subtly casted Scourgify – waiting the five minutes for the doors to open.

When he finally – finally – had the dreaded iPad, he mused that if Scorpius thought he would get his present before his birthday party tomorrow, he had another thing coming.

The iPad launched in the UK on May 28th 2010, a Friday.
The Apple Store that Draco is at is Apple Store SouthGate, located in Bath, UK. It is nearest to Wiltshire. From the little I could tell from Google Maps and the Apple website, it's inside a small mall.
Scorpius is about to turn 4.
Cassie is just turned 3.
Twins are six months old or so.

A review can seriously make an author's day. Wouldn't you want to make mine? Either way, I hope my little drabble has made yours!
