Malfoy Manor - April-Spring Vacation
Easter here at Malfoy Manor was never really important. Not since Scorpius and I were old enough to know that there was no Easter bunny. Now that Mason and Tamsin are here, we're all about celebrating every bloody holiday imaginable. It's quite annoying missing all of Tam's firsts since I am being forced to finish Hogwarts. Of course Mum's making sure they take lots of pictures and videos of everything she does.
Mason's even said his first word. Dad was very pleased to here him say "Daddy" He's even started saying "Mummy". Typical. Tamsin only giggles. She has yet to speak her first word. I really hope I don't miss that. I'm her mum and I want to be the one to hear her first word. Not her bloody sperm donor, Albus Bloody Potter. Prat.
"Alli, your father and I are going out to have dinner with Roxxy and Liander. We'll be back later. Scorpius has Mason right now. See you later, we won't be out too late" Mum said, as she straightened the front of her light violet dress. For once, Mum and Dad weren't wearing their robes. They looked like rich Muggles. Dad looked like an arsehole and Mum looked like an overly nice middle-aged woman.
"Okay, you two behave yourselves" I said, grinning at my parents.
"Don't you stay up too late either Pet" Dad said, before they Flooed to Aunt Roxxy and Uncle Liander's.
I watched as Scorpius took Mason out for his daily stroll in the gardens. Scorpius had grown quite attached to Mason and which makes me think he wants to have kids someday. With Rose of course. They were a match made in Heaven. Much like Night and Cam. They were both so lucky.
"Come on Tam. Say Mummy" I said, as she teethed on her stuffed Hippogriff's foot. She just looked at me and giggled. "Come on, say Mummy" I said, again. All she did was grab a glob of her Peach puree baby food and throw it into my face and hair. Very nice. My baby likes to throw things.
"Don't throw your food Peanut" I said, and she threw some more. I was practically covered in this peach glop when the doorbell rang. I picked her up and walked to the door. Forgetting that I was covered in peach glop, I opened the door, coming face to face with Blaine. What the Hell is he doing here? And without Erien for once. "What the Hell are you doing here?" I asked, as his dark eyes, scrutinized me in judgment.
"I came by to see if Scorp wanted to go hang out at Erien's place. What's it to you, Peach" he said, in his usual condescending tone. I really don't know how Scorpius could even bare being friends with Snobby Blaine, Whorey Erien, and Mental Albus.
"Well then you'll have to wait, Scorpius took Mason for a stroll in the gardens" I said, as Tamsin pulled my fringe with her peach smothered hand. Great, I'll be smelling like peaches for a while.
"Well, then I'll just sit in the sitting room" he said, walking past me. I followed him in and sat my sticky baby on the floor. "Tergeo" he said, pointing his wand at me and Tamsin. I forgot that he was seventeen now. Tam and I were completely clean now.
"Thanks Blaine" I muttered, as Tamsin crawled over to Blaine's legs and pulling on his pant legs.
"No problem, Peach" he said, picking her up and sitting her on his lap.
"You're never going to stop calling me that, huh?" I said, sitting next to him.
"Never" he said, as he bounced her on his leg. So, Blaine Zabini has a heart? Who knew. He seemed to really like her. It was nice to see him interact so sweetly with her. I guess the snobbery is just a mask. At least, I think so. "So, what'd you do to Al, anyway?" he asked, feigning disinterest.
"I didn't do anything to Al. It's all Erien's fault. If he would just tell Al the truth then, we wouldn't be in this mess" I muttered, bitterly.
"Well, I know that it's all Erien's fault because, nobody knows him as well as I do. Al's just in denial is all. He doesn't want to believe his bestfriend is trying to cop off with the mother of his child. He would much rather believe that you were trying to cop off with his bestfriend" Blaine said, stroking Tamsin's unruly hair.
"Right. He'd rather think of me as some slag and Erien as some perfectly innocent bloke. What a prat" I said, as Scorpius returned with Mason and an unwelcome guest. Erien. Bollocks.
"Blaine, what are you doing here?" Scorpius asked, as he put Mason down on the soft carpet.
"I should be asking Eri the same thing" Blaine said, putting Tamsin down beside Mason.
"I was taking Mason out for his daily stroll when Eri spotted us in the gardens. He was coming by to invite me over. But, I promised Mum and Dad that I would watch Mason for them" Scorpius explained, while Erien winked to me from behind him.
I scowled and turned my attention back to Blaine. "Well, I was here for the same thing, but instead I found myself in the company of your sister. Should we go now, Eri?" Blaine said, making Scorpius and Erien gaze at me.
"Yeah, we should leave Scorp to his tot-sitting. See you Scorp. Bye Allisha" Erien said, smirking at me.
"Goodbye Scorpius. I will be back for another chat…Peach" he said, kissing my cheek lightly, before turning and stopping midstep. Erien and Scorpius looked shocked by this simple exchange between us and we all turned to face the doorway. It was Al. he was standing there, completely red in the face. Crap. I think he saw Blaine kiss my cheek.
"I didn't know there was going to be a party" Al said, in a cool tone.
"What are you doing here? It's not your weekend" I said, in an icy tone.
"I just came by to see Scorpius. What's it to you anyway? Just because it's not my week to pick up Tam, doesn't mean that I can't come over to see Scorpius any other day" he answered, rudely.
"Well then go on. Get it over with so you can get the fuck out" I said, making the other three look quite uncomfortable.
"Oh well I won't trouble you anymore. It's bad enough that you're after Erien, now you've set your sights on Blaine. Who, by the way is too out of your league" he says, making Scorpius take Mason into his arms. He, Erien, and Blaine walked out, not wanting to get into the crossfires of what was sure to be a screamathon.
"Excuse me? What do you mean, "Too out of my league"? Do you honestly think that I feel even an inkling of desire towards your friends? You must be the thickest most mental bloke I have ever met!" I yelled, throwing my hands up in frustration.
"Merlin, Alli! Do you always have to be such a mad and unreasonable girl?" he said, looking flustered. He stood in front of me and looked like he was either going to cry or slap me. I dare him. If he even lays one hand on me, I will curse his bloke bits clean off. Using that curse Mr. Potter used to scar Dad's chest in their sixth year.
"I'm not the unreasonable one! You won't even believe me when I'm telling you the truth! You're such a-a-a" my voice trailed as I struggled to find a suitable name to call him.
"Prat" said a small voice.
"Yes that's right, a prat! Wait. What?" I spluttered, turning to Tamsin. Who was sitting in between our feet. Al and I looked down at our smiling daughter and I smiled. Then he smiled. Did she really just speak?
"Prat! Prat! Prat!" she said, in an angelic voice.
"Oh, Merlin Al! Tamsin just spoke her first word!" I said, picking her up.
"I can't bloody believe it! Tam said prat!"he said, and we both cuddled her together.
Scorpius, Erien, and Blaine both all walked down the stairs. Mason in Scorp's arms. "What's going on? Have you two finally made up then?" Scorpius said, looking at us.
"No! Of course not! I'm just happy that Tamsin spoke her first word!" I said, as Al backed a bit away from us.
"Well, I have to go but, I'll pick Tam up next week. By Alli" Al said, kissing Tamsin before walking out.
"Bye…Al" I muttered, as I hugged her close.
A minute later, Erien and Blaine said goodbye to us and went to catch up with Al.
"Well, there you have it. Proof that your daughter will most likely be as mad and mental as you and Al" Scorpius said, walking up the stairs to put Mason down for his nap.
"Prat" Tamsin said, giggling.
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Peanut" I said, as I followed him up the stairs to put Tamsin down for her nap. I was ready to turn in for the night. Screaming at the bloke you love but hate at the same time can be quite tiring. I really do need to get a new hobby.
A/N: Okay so that wasn't quite as long as I wanted it to be but, there you have it. Chapter 30. Now all that's left is the Epilogue. Hopefully, it will be better than the last few chapters I've submitted.
