A/N 1: While writing chapter 5 I felt a bit sad that it was the last one and some of you reviewed chapter 4 saying the same, so I decided to write a little extra scene, an epilogue for this fic. I hope you all like it!

Epilogue: Malfoy Manor

"…and that's how your mother and I first met."

A six-year-old Scorpius stared at him with wide grey eyes. "Really?"

"Yes, really," said Draco, a little smirk playing on his lips.

"Wow."

Draco felt smug as he saw how impressed his son was. Deep down, though, he felt an insane amount of relief that Scorpius was growing up listening to bizarre yet happy stories instead of the dark tales Draco had heard in his youth.

"Ahem."

Father and son looked up and saw a tall blonde standing by the door.

"Mummy!" cried Scorpius as he jumped from the sofa and ran towards her to give her a hug.

Astoria grinned and bent down to hold the small boy in her arms, hugging him tight. "My little snidget," she murmured affectionately and placed a kiss on the top of his head.

Draco smiled to himself. Scorpius was a mummy's boy, just as he himself had been and in some ways still was. He would always be Narcissa's precious little boy, even though her attentions had shifted in most part to her grandson.

"Now run along, sweetie. Your grandparents are waiting for you in the parlor," he heard Astoria say.

Draco watched his son run out of the room and only then met his wife's gaze.

Astoria was giving him her version of Queen Victoria's 'we are not amused' look, which so happened to be more intimidating than the late Queen's. It was clear she had heard everything he told Scorpius but he kept an innocent expression on his face, hoping to throw her off.

"So that's how we met, hmm?" she asked.

"…Yes."

"Oh, really? What were the Thestrals and Manticores doing there? Since when did you walk over a man-eating cabbage patch to come talk to me?!"

"Alright, so I exaggerated a little bit."

"A little bit?! You told Scorpius I fell for you the moment I saw you!" she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Didn't you?" he asked with a little pout.

She gave him an incredulous look. "The moment I first saw you? Not really, no."

He sulked and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Astoria walked over to stand in front of him and said, "You're such a baby." Her fingers swept platinum locks away from his forehead and a gentle smile tugged at her lips. "I don't know why I married you."

Outraged silver eyes met her teasing blue ones as he asked huffily, "Must I remind you, then?"

"Please do."

He surprised her by grabbing her waist and pulling her down, draping her body over his as he leaned back on the sofa. She let out a small giggle and locked her arms around his neck as their lips met in a gentle, languid kiss. Her honey-blonde hair formed a veil around them and he ran his fingers through that golden satin while his other hand mapped out the soft curves of her body.

When they pulled away for air Draco looked deep into his wife's eyes and tenderly brushed his knuckles over her cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too," she replied softly, a shy smile gracing her features even after more than seven years of marriage. Her expression changed all of a sudden as she gave the back of his head a sharp swat.

"Ouch!"

"Now quit filling our son's head with crazy stories or I will hurt you."

"I think you just did," he replied while rubbing the spot where her hand had landed.

"You're cute when you whine," she mused, giving him an innocent smile in response to his glare. "Now get up. We can't spend the whole day snogging."

"I seem to recall a delightful afternoon where you couldn't keep your hands off of me." His pensive expression suddenly brightened. "Oh, wait. That was yesterday!"

"Shut up, Draco."

"Tsk, tsk. Sorted into Ravenclaw, daughter of a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin, sister of a Slytherin, married to a Slytherin and that's the best you can come up with?" he teased.

"You know I can give as good as I get. I'm just…tired."

"Of course, love." His patronizing tone made her glare at him.

"Well, since you won't stop teasing me, I'm leaving." She got up and childishly stuck her tongue out at him, something she only did in his presence, before turning around in a huff when he chuckled.

As she took a step towards the door, his voice stopped her in her tracks.

"I'm glad I met you that day."

She turned to face him, catching his dreamy look before he hid it with a small smirk, and a corner of her mouth twitched up in a half-grin.

"Even though there wasn't any killer vegetable patch around? Or cherry blossoms on the ground wherever I walked as I sang 'Oh, joy, Spring is here' or something idiotic like that?"

He rolled his eyes at the hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Your wedding bouquet was made of cherry blossoms; I thought it was a nice detail. And I just mentioned there were cherry blossom trees! I never said the flowers covered the ground or that you were singing, so stop implying that I was turning you into some sort of Spring Goddess."

Astoria didn't even register the last part. "You remember the flowers of the bouquet?" She blinked, remembering the beautiful Japanese blooms Narcissa had ordered for her daughter-in-law.

He shrugged and shyly avoided her gaze.

Her smile lit up the entire room and she extended her hand, which he happily held in his.

"Come on, let's go see what our brilliant son is doing," she said as she pulled him towards the door.

"How about I tell Scorpius the story of the day we were married?"

"I think we'll have to wait until he's a bit older, don't you? My parents are still repressing the image of Daphne giving Theodore a lap dance while we cut the cake."

Draco snickered. "Nott Senior couldn't look Daphne in the eye for months after that."

"Oh, we happy Greengrass-Malfoys and Greengrass-Notts," she sighed mock-dramatically.

"We few. We happy few."

"Deliriously happy," she pointed out and nodded while trying to keep a straight face.

"Obviously, since lap dances are included in the package." He smirked.

She elbowed him but snorted with laughter. "I just remembered why I married you."

"Because I'm incredibly handsome?"

"No, silly, because you make me laugh." She gave him a teasing little grin and kissed him when he pretended to be upset. She then gazed fondly at him before leaning in to whisper in his ear, "I'm glad I met you that day too."

They looked at each other and shared a smile. Draco reached out to lovingly tuck a lock of hair behind her ear as he thought about the day they had met.

No man-eating cabbage patches, but still a day he would never forget. And that was all that mattered.
