Tea Party
Character(s): Graham Montague, Original Female Character, Scorpius Malfoy, Astoria Malfoy neé Greengrass
"Opal! Missis Malfoy is here to get Scorpius! Opal, Scorpius, are you in–" Graham Montague cut his sentence short upon stepping into his daughter's bedroom.
He frowned at the sight of his daughter–and only his daughter–who was having a tea party with several of her stuffed animals and dolls. "Opal, where's Scorpius?" he asked the soon to be seven-year-old.
Smiling up at him, her cherubic cheeks dimpled, Opal said, "Oh, he's right there, Daddy!" Her tiny finger pointed across the little table to a doll wearing a sparkly tiara.
Graham crossed his arms. "Opal, this isn't the time to joke with Daddy. Missis Malfoy is waiting for Scorpius."
The smile morphed into a scowl. "Daddy, that's him," she insisted. "He wouldn't play tea party, so I made him!"
"What?" Graham exclaimed out of confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Settling her hands in her lap, Opal, angelic face serene and patient, repeated herself. "Daddy, that's Scorpius in the tiara. When he wouldn't play tea part with me, I made him."
"That's…Scorpius," he muttered dubiously as he looked to the doll. Upon closer inspection, Graham's stomach began to sink. The doll, a dainty looking blond thing wearing a blue turtle neck and overalls, did look like Scorpius. And upon a bit of consideration, Graham's fear was confirmed when he picked up the doll and saw its eyes were gray.
"Well, fuck," Graham said.
Gasping loudly, his daughter put her hands to her mouth. "Daddy! That's a bad word!" she cried scandalized.
He glared at Opal. "You turned a Malfoy's child into a doll! What do you think that means for us, Opal?"
"You can't turn him back?" the little girl warbled.
Graham shook his head furiously. "No! How in Merlin's name did you do this in the first place?"
Tears pouring from her eyes, the little girl whimpered, "H-He wouldn't play! I said it'd be better if he was one of my dolls because they never say no to a tea party! Then, he turned into one!"
"Graham? What's taking so long? I told Draco we'd be home five minutes ago…" Astoria trailed off at the sight she found in her friend's daughter's playroom.
Looking between them, she asked, "Where's my son?"
"Uh…" Graham said unintelligibly as he glanced to the toy in his hand and then to Astoria.
Eyes growing wide, the woman snatched the doll from his grip and promptly screamed when she saw her son within its features.
Closing his eyes, Graham murmured lowly, "Kill me now."
The end! What do you think of Opal's turning little Scorpius into a doll?
