"Shh! You'll wake them, Ronald, " someone hissed. The sound of someone getting slapped upside the head rang through the room.
"Ouch! What the hell, Parkinson, " a guy whined.
"Shut up, Ronald, " a different female voice said. Hums of agreement went around a room.
Adeline shifted in her sleep, slowly waking, making everyone panic. Someone suggested they leave but not before a flash of a camera went off.
Scorpius groaned, "What the hell."
"Watch your mouth, " Draco said, earning a slap to his arm. He hissed and apologized.
"Look, you woke them up, " Harry cheered.
"Why are you all so bloody loud, " Scorpius hissed, running a hand down his face.
"like father like son, " Blaise snickered, making Georgia laugh.
Adeline stirred, "What- Where am I?"
Scorpius smirked, and Draco tried not to laugh, "Good Morning."
"Oh Merlin, I hope Hugo moves before-" Harry was interrupted by Adeline's scream.
She shot up and fell out of Scorpius's arms and onto Hugo who was laying on the floor next to them.
Sheepishly she looked down at him, "Morning, Hugo."
"Horrible morning, " he muttered, throwing her off of him.
The adults were laughing around them making Scorp join in. He held his hand out to her and pulled herself up back onto the couch and sat in front of him while he continued to lay down.
Due to the commotion, all the children started waking up one by one.
"Hey, Aunt Scar?" Huge asked.
"Yes, Hugo?"
"Can we eat?"
Everyone burst out laughing as Hermione and Harry mumbled something about the apple not falling far from the tree.
Scarlett nodded and had Menace start on a breakfast for a king: Pancakes, Eggs, Porridge, Bacon, Sausage, Toast, Tea, Coffee, and even cut-up fruit.

"And this last one is for you, " Scarlett said handing another box wrapped in green wrapping paper.She raised her eyes at Draco, "Slytherin green. You pick the colors this year?"
He smirked and raised an eyebrow back.
Adeline looked down at the pile of gifts in front of her and her eyes slowly glazed over. There was a small pile from. her grandmother, but beyond that, there was a pile from everyone in the room because for the first time in years she was celebrating the holiday with a family.
Nothing the signs of a shutdown, Scarlett excused herself from her husband and moved to sit next to the young girl. She put her hand on her shoulder and the girl looked up and threw herself into Scarlett's arms.
"Thank you, " she sniffled, "This- this is everything to me."
Scarlett's arms wrapped around her, "Of course, sweetheart. This is your family too now."
Adeline's body was wracked with silent sobs and Scarlett noticed the others starting to look. She sent Pansy a look and she grabbed the attention of everyone so the two girls could have a moment in silence alone.
Scarlett and Addie made their way to the kitchen where Addie was handed a tissue and a cup of tea.
They sat in silence until Scarlett spoke up, "Growing up, I didn't really have my parents. The Malfoy's, Cissy and Lucius, stepped in took over. My parents- well they didn't want an heiress, they wanted an heir and they took that out on me every day. It was the same with Pansy. Pureblood families want male children to take over the family and carry on the bloodline, but my parents couldn't have more than one child, they could barely have me."
