Harry was angry. It had been a while since he felt this angry. He was just settling onto the couch with his wife when he got an unexpected call from work that his 13 year old son had been picked up by aurors for breaking and entering.
Apparently, his son Albus, along with a few of his friends, decided to break into the Falmouth Falcons training facility and pitch. They triggered a ward to go off and the aurors on duty were called to investigate. Thankfully Harry was head Auror and was called right away when they found his son. It also helped that Harry went to school with the owner of the team, Blaise Zabini, and he was able to convince him not to press charges.
Harry dismissed his employees right away and took over delivering the teenagers back to their families. He called each family via floo once he arrived on scene so that they would be expecting him and open the wards. Albus' group of friends happened to consist of mostly kids of Harry's friends, but this last teenager getting dropped off was going to be the worst of them. He needed to drop off Scorpius Malfoy.
Harry had run into Draco Malfoy a few times in the 18 years since they graduated Hogwarts, and he had to admit that his school time enemy had indeed changed. Malfoy was always oddly polite. Harry knew that his company started a foundation that does a lot of good for magical creatures. Malfoy industries is primarily focused on potion making and ingredients and Malfoy started his foundation and was able to work on magical creature legislation by tying it into the need of potion ingredients, effectively stalling the market until the ministry was forced to change their laws. Harry had to admit that it was very impressive.
Malfoy had been a bit of a hermit since school ended. Witch weekly still declares him the most eligible bachelor every few months, even though it's known in the wizarding world that he is married. The issue is that no one knows who he is married to, he keeps his family very private. It wasn't until a few years ago when his son Scorpius started school at Hogwarts that anyone even knew he was married and had kids. Harry was able to learn through his sons friendship to Scorpius that he had several other children as well, his next two set to start Hogwarts in the fall.
The main issue with taking Scorpius home however, is that when he made the call to Malfoy Manor, it was Lucius who answered. Scorpius seemed to be expecting this and did not seem to be worried in the slightest about his grandfathers reaction. Harry, on the other hand, was not looking forward to seeing Lucius again for the first time in years.
Harry had just flooed back to his home after dropping off Neville's son to find Ginny still yelling at a terrified Albus. Scorpius, the last kid Harry needed to deliver, was slouching in his seat and staring at the ground, as if he was trying to avoid Ginny's notice. He looked up at Harry with relief when he stepped out of the fireplace.
"Alright Scorpius, you're up. I called the Manor and your Grandfather is expecting you." Harry could see Scorpius' shoulders relax more at the mention of his grandfather and a slight smirk graced his lips, even though he was trying to hide it. Harry figured that Lucius must let the boy get away with a lot more than his parents.
Scorpius stood and joined Harry in the fireplace, giving a small wave to Albus, who was still being yelled at by his mother on the couch. Harry called out Malfoy Manor and the two of them were clouded in darkness before reappearing in a brightly lit sitting room. They stepped out and came face to face with an angry looking Draco Malfoy. Harry was relieved but Scorpius looked at his father in surprise and audibly gulped.
"D-Dad? What are you doing back?" Scorpius asked, his voice shaking slightly. Draco shot him a glare that had him flinching and looking at the ground.
"Surprised?" Draco snapped. "Imagine my reaction when your grandfather appeared at the villa to announce that you had all but been arrested, which effectively ruined your mother and I's anniversary." Scorpius seemed to shrink into himself and Draco just turned towards the drink cart.
