Our Other Half| The Other Half sequel

Our Parties

it was our first Christmas with all the kids at Hogwarts, it felt empty but we knew they were coming home soon.

I was sitting in my office watching the hours go by, till I heard the phone ring "Mrs. Malfoy we need you in it's a bit of an emergency" the guy on the phone says to me

"how big because my kids will be home any minute" I replied "we found something...interesting" he replied

"well, how interesting?"
"Narggles, you know what your friend always talks about"

"I knew it" I whispered to myself "ok uhm call Mrs.Zabini and tell her to come in as well," I told the guy

he hung up and I went to find Draco who was surprisingly cleaning up the library

"love, I have a bit of a work emergency tell the kids I'm so happy they're back" I smiled walking up to him
"of course when do you plan on being back? the kids are looking forward to there welcome home dinner," he asked

"uh I'll try and be home by 9 but if Im not, tell them we're having a Christmas ball next week" I smiled, kissing him on the cheek

I headed to my office at the ministry to sign a few papers then headed down to the creatures room

"hello Minister" I say entering "please call my john, thank you for giving me this job" he says

I recently decided to change the minister because the last one well was a bit too weird, I have suspicions about everyone but the last one just didn't go right. I was told I should take the position but I decided to give someone else a chance before I decide if it's a good idea

"yeah, let's just hope you don't have a weird obsession or something to make me fire you" I smirked shaking his hand

his face quickly changed, we were handling the situation and I got home a quarter past 10, I snuck up to the kid's rooms and kissed them all on the forehead

but when I walked into Scorpius's room he wasn't asleep "hey scorp what are you doing up?" I asked

"Oh please mum you act like you never stayed up late when you were younger. I'm reading letters from my friends" he replied, I smiled and sat on the edge of his bed

"that's lovely, is your girlfriend coming to our party?" I asked him
"no, I plan on meeting my future wife at the party" he smirked

I didn't understand why he would do that, but he is Draco's son so who knows. it seemed scorp read my mind and replied

"mum my girlfriend broke up with me because she has a 'fiancé' and practically every pureblood already has their life planned besides me...they say I don't have an arranged marriage because I have a half-blood mum" he sounded sad when he talked

"oh Scorpius, you know you father had an arranged marriage but it didn't work because he was in love with me. things change, you might find the girl but she might want someone else and you might want someone else as well...you never know when you'll meet the love of your life, you could have already met her and you would never know"

Scorpius sighed "what if no one loves me like you are loved?"
"I am sure you'll find love way better than mine" I smiled
"whatever you say, mum, I'll let you get some rest. goodnight" he smiled

I kissed him on the forehead "goodnight my little bug, I love you, and may the stars shine down on you"

-one week later-

I was stressing over the party, usually, I had the help of Narcissa, pansy, and daphne but I wanted to do it in my way

A way that no one could think of, you know?
the only help I had was Draco's, and well as much as I love him...he's not the type of person you want to plan a party

he's one of those people that question why something is going in that place and is confused over everything. but he's the perfect person to pick the flowers and food

once I was done I made sure the kids looked personable and we invited all our friends and family. it was big I can say and I think the kids were having fun I don't know, I was always pulled away to talk about ministry work and blah blah blah.

Scorpius Pov-

I was dressed in a fancy black suit with a white dress shirt under it, my sister made sure I had a red handkerchief to match her and Cassian

I was on the lookout for a beautiful young girl, who liked the same interest in me. now you probably wondering "Scorpius how can you tell if she has the same interest?"
well, I have legilimens, supposedly I get it from my mother. I don't think I do consider she has so much power, if you were to throw a death spell at her you would be the person who dies before you finish the spell. she scares me sometimes but she's my mother, not an enemy so I shouldn't be

I noticed a girl with brownish red hair, a bit like my brother's, but she's beautiful I didn't even need to see her face to know she was. I felt brave enough to walk over to her

"Hello young lady...looking for a Malfoy to show you around" I winked tapping her arm

I think I made a huge mistake "Scorpius why so nice?" Rose says turning around...Rose Weasley was like a cousin to me

and I just flirted with her- I have no words but for some reason, I didn't care "Rose you look wonderful, I thought maybe you were someone else but I don't mind talking to you" I smiled

"Scorp you know if I was anyone else I would slap you for that ridiculous comment, but I'll let it slide since it's your party" she smiled

"you know what Weasley I'll be right back...don't leave I uhm have to speak with my father...don't leave," I say rushing to run to my dad

my dad was speaking to Nathaniel and Uncle Theo about someone "Dad, Dad I Uhm-...say I know someone and we're close...we're like family but I think I like her" I spoke nervously

"don't tell me you like one of my daughters," Theo says looking at me weirdly
"eww no, I mean no offense they're beautiful but umm I'm talking about someone else's"

"oh Scorp it doesn't matter as long as it isn't Rowena or Theo's daughters you're fine," my father told me

it was fine? "dad you're saying I can flirt with Rose Weasley, and you're fine with it?" I say surprised

"I guess, wait are you thinking of what I think you're doing?" my dad says confused

I had no idea what he was thinking, it wasn't easy for me to go through my parent's heads because parents are more experienced with it so they can hide things

"I don't know," I say in confusion "well it better not be noting bad like sleeping with her. your both 14"
my eyes got big and I turned pale

"dad I'm thinking of asking her out, I haven't even told her I like her"
"do you need help asking her out? I am after all your godfather. I have a lot of experience with it" theo smirked

"hell no, I'm not having you teach my son how to ask a girl out. you'll have them hooking up and be off and on every two weeks" my dad told theo

"Scorp flirt with her a little bit, make her go head over heels for you then tell her you to like her but somewhere special and if she says she does ask her out," my dad told me

"you know your mother and father didn't get together like that, they were best friends and were lonely so they fell in love with each other" theo replied

"oh shut it, that exactly how you and Daphne got together" my father sneered, it was like I wasn't even part to the conversation so I just left

I talked to Rose a bit more, we never really talked alone so it made me think about how much of this person I did not know when I knew her my entire life
