Draco closed the bedroom door behind him and walked to the bed. Scorpius was fast asleep in the middle where Luna had him sleep even though he had his own crib. Draco looked down at his baby and smiled sadly. He bent down and kissed his cheek before getting in bed beside him. Draco put his arm around Scorpius and pulled him closer to his chest. Luna exited the bathroom in her usual white nightgown and crept into bed on the other side of Scorpius. She glanced at Draco before closing her eyes. Her hand was on top of Scorpius's small chest.
"Luna do you think Scorpius will ever forgive me?" Draco asked in a whisper.
Luna opened her eyes and looked at Draco sadly. She reached over and caressed Draco's cheek.
"It's not your fault. You can't blame yourself for what the Dark Lord did."
"I used you. I'm sorry for everything I forced you through."
"Don't be. You shouldn't be sorry for Scorpius. He's a gift."
"I'm not sorry, I love Scorpius. But what I did to you was wrong."
"I know but you were left with no choice. The Dark Lord would've killed your mother."
"How can you be so forgiving? After everything..."
Luna smiled a bit. "My mother always told me that forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. It's beautiful."
Draco smiled at Luna and placed a small kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Luna and Draco were woken up in the morning by Scorpius's cries. Luna picked him up and rocked him gently and his sobs subsided. Draco sat up too and rubbed his eyes. Luna had the top of her nightgown open as she fed Scorpius. Draco looked away as a blush crept on his cheeks. He got off of the bed and went into the bathroom. Someone knocked on the bedroom door and Luna looked up. Narcissa poked her head inside and smiled at Luna.
"Good morning darling. I brought breakfast." Narcissa entered with a house elf following.
The house elf placed the tray of food on the bedside table before leaving. Narcissa sat on the bed next to Luna. She kissed Luna's forehead.
"How are you sweetie? How's my grandson?"
"We're fine, thank you. I think his arm is still sore."
"Oh poor baby." Narcissa stroked Scorpius's soft hair.
After a while, Luna gently pulled Scorpius away and buttoned up her nightgown. She was about to burp him when Narcissa took him from her.
"You go get changed my dear. I'll do this." Narcissa smiled and turned Scorpius over on her lap.
Draco came out of the bathroom in his usual black attire. He kissed his mother's forehead before sitting down on the bed too and grabbing a green apple from the breakfast tray. He took a bite and smiled to himself. He loved green apples.
"Draco how is Luna? Has she been alright?" Narcissa asked.
"I don't know Mother. But she seems so disturbed." Draco answered.
"I'm worried about her. She's such a sweet girl and she's been through so much. First losing her mother and then all of that teasing she went through. Then what happened to her here."
"Mother, I'm trying to do what I can. I'm going to keep trying. I want her to be that same carefree girl she was in Hogwarts."
"You love her don't you?"
"I don't know. I might. I'm not sure." Draco quickly looked away.
"You love her. I can see it in your eyes. Tell her. Tell her that you love her."
"What difference will it make? She'd still hate me."
"Luna doesn't hate you and you must be really stupid not to notice that."
"Mother are you telling me I'm stupid?"
"No, dear, you're not. That's why you should be able to notice Luna's feelings."
"I don't know but we have to focus on Scorpius right now."
Narcissa searched her son's face but Draco turned away before she saw the emotions in his eyes. Scorpius let out a large burp and Draco grinned before taking him from Narcissa.
"Gross Scorpius, that was the largest burp in the world. I bet Goyle and Crabbe couldn't even compare to that." Draco kissed Scorpius's chubby cheek and blew raspberries on his neck, causing him to squeal in laughter.
Luna exited the bathroom and smiled when she saw Draco playing pick-a-boo with Scorpius. Scorpius was buried under the blankets and ever so often, Draco would pull the blankets down and yell BOO. Scorpius giggled every time, clutching his hands together in small fists over his chubby stomach. Draco picked Scorpius up after playing for a while because Scorpius looked a bit tired. Luna had finished eating breakfast and she sat on the sofa, looking out of the window sadly. Draco knew she was remembering her father. He got up off of the bed and went towards her. Luna looked up at him when he knelt down next to her. He took her hands in his and kissed them and gave her a reassuring smile.
"We'll get out of here soon."
"Together?" Luna asked.
"Together." Draco nodded.
