Professor Potter

Prologue

Draco peered out of the window. Raindrops trickled down the glass. "You can't do this Draco."
He could hear her voice breaking as if she were about to sob.
"You knew that I did, and still do not love you. My father arranged this marriage. I gave him what he wanted, simply because I was afraid. But he is no more."
"But what about Scorpius? ", she whispered, her voice barely audible.
"You know that I am still his father, no matter the situation. I will always care for him."
"Daddy ?" a small voice asked, as the young Scorpius Malfoy entered Draco's office. His dark hair hung heavily on his neck, and his silver eyes shone in the moonlight. He held a white velvet teddy bear. It was a toy that had been given to him by Narcissa Malfoy as a baby, and Draco ached every time he saw it handled with such care.
"Go to bed darling, Mummy and I are just talking about adult things. "

"Oh, ok.", he said, and shuffled out of the room.
"I'm going to tuck him in.", said Astoria, with a meaningful look in her ocean blue eyes.
On her way out, she slipped her slim wedding ring onto the desk that stood in the room.
It was a beautiful silver band with an ornate snake with emerald chips for eyes and diamond studded on the serpent.
