"Do you love her?"
After a long and silent pause Draco spoke up "I haven't seen her for past 14 years"
Regulus nodded not pushing.
"Do you have any pictures? Like when you were growing up and stuff?" Draco asked somehow hoping he'll see her as well.
Regulus nodded and opened a folder in his phone "these are only recent ones" he said and stared to show photos, to Draco
"this is from my birthday"
"mhm"
"this is mom's birthday" the boy smiled "I gave her a new typewriter, she wanted it badly"
"where did you get the money from?"
"asked grandmother, she said you won't notice another 50 gallons disappearing anyway"
"well she's right, I didn't even notice till now, that every month she sent quiet a lot money to your mother"
"well yes, they were supporting us, but it's not like we needed it"
" really?"
"mhm… mom got very well paid at her job"
"was she happy?"
"yes… I believe so…"
they continued to look at photos, Draco noticed how matured Hermione was, she was very beautiful, her hair looked perfect, her eyes brighter, and smile wider, and it made him feel even more guilty.
"and this is me with my friends" Regulus said showing a picture with him and couple of beautiful teenage girls, and few boys "tthis is Nicky she's bad ass, as mom says, this is Kyle, his parents are ballet dancers, Victoria – the freak one, Robert – smartass, mathgeek, this is Mathew – he's the elder of us, tried to one hit on mom, she told him, she doesn't date little baby boy's who still live with their mommy's" Regulus smirked" you should have seen his face…"
Draco frowned" that boy tried to ask her out? Was he mental?"
Regulus laughed "I guess, well anyway, it never happened again"
"and who's this last girl?"
"it's… Pauline, mom really likes her"
Draco grinned watching his son's face" do you like her?"
"ewww, no… look at her, she's a pure troll"
"that's something I used to say about your mother too"
"but you never got married with her"
"you have a point"
They lovely chat was interrupted by no one else than Draco's wife Astoria, who'd marched in the room looking angry "why is that I'm the last person to know about your little love affair with the mudblood?"
Regulus had jumped up on his feet and had pointed his wand directly in Astoria's Face "take it back"
Draco got up too" Regulus…" he warned a little.
"that has no rights to call my mother like that, and accuse her of having a love affair with you, when she haven't met you for more than 14 years."
Astoria watched the teenaged with shock "how dare you to speak with me like that"
Regulus Lowered his wand "I simply dare, never ever call my mother like that again"
Draco watched with frown "what did you want Astoria?" he sat back down, seeing that Regulus was calm now.
Astoria looked shocked at them "for the sake of Merlin, why didn't you tell me about, the bastard of yours?"
Regulus glared at her, mumbling under his breath something like "how lovely you're not one yourself"
"I didn't knew about him myself till this morning Mother brought him in"
"so your mother knew and you didn't? What an bullshit?"
"call it whatever you want Astoria, but Regulus is my son, and he'll be staying with us till his mother get's better"
Astoria looked angry at them "he will not stay in my house"
Draco got up glaring down at his wife "this is not your house, it's MINE! AND HE'LL STAY HERE AS LONG AS HE'LL NEED OR WISH"
A silence. A silence that told everything.
