The shop was incredibly busy, kids running all over the place, products going fizz and bang at all times. George hadn't seen Fred in hours, he'd disappeared to deal with girls fighting over the last love potion. He lifted the boxes he was carrying as two boys ran past him, narrowly missing him. "No running! It's dangerous!"

It was just after midday, the shop still as busy as it could be. George has just finished stocking the Peruvian darkness dust when a little blonde boy, no more than 4 years old, came rushing towards him, giggling. The unknown child flung himself into George's arms, immediately fisting his hands into his firey locks. The child's grey eyes looked familiar, his cool blonde mop on top of his head reminding George of Draco.

"Bailey? Bailey!? BAILEY??" The child giggled like he knew that was his name. "Hide." George furrowed his brows at the child still in his arms,  "Hide you?"
"Hide."
"I can't do that mate they sound really worried." The child pouted, looking put out at George's response. "Bailey?" A young woman came into view, huffing from running after the child, who George presumed was called Bailey. She hadn't spotted Bailey yet, her eyes roaming the shop frantically until they spotted him. "Bailey! Thank god!" She ran towards George, wanting to get her child out of the strangers hands. "Is this little fella Bailey?" George jiggled the boy, making him laugh.  "Yes he is. Give me my son please."
"Oh yeah sorry, here you go."
"Hi baby! You naughty boy! Don't run off again!"
Bailey put his head on his mum's shoulder, nodding solemnly. "Sorry mummy, I was just trying to find my daddy."
George thought the woman blushed, but she was looking at the floor and he couldn't fully see. "Daddy won't be in this shop Bailey, come on silly let's go get ice cream!" Bailey lit up, screaming ice cream over and over. "Hey, let me get the door for you!" George walked over to the woman, wishing to spend time with her.  She seemed familiar too, but he just couldn't place it.   "Thanks George."
George stopped, hand frozen on the door handle. "How'd you know my name? How'd you know I'm George and not Fred?"
The woman looked sheepishly down. "I was in your sisters year at Hogwarts. We were friends actually. I think I spent a week in summer before second year at your house." George still couldn't place her, his face betraying him. The woman went bright pink, "I was the one who had the big crush on you and tried to ask you to the yule ball."
"Y/N? No way!"
"Yup it's me, hi George."

George had always known about Y/N's crush on him, it was hard not to, she was as obvious as Ginny was with Harry. Very obvious. He thought it was a childish thing and she'd outgrow it, he was far too old for her anyway. Well at that age, now, 3 years seemed like nothing. She had definitely grown up. She looked gorgeous. George was shocked, little Y/N was an adult now. And she had a child! George stopped. He was only 26, which meant she was 23 and if Bailey was 4ish that meant she had him at 19?

George turned to Bailey, who was sucking his thumb mindlessly.  "How old is the little one?"
"He's almost 5." George's eyes widened. Y/N looked at the floor again. "Arranged marriage. I got engaged in my 6th year and when I had graduated Hogwarts, my parents thought a marriage would be a good present. So I got married that summer and less than a year later I had this little bundle of joy!" She wiggled her son's hand, babbling at him so he'd babble back.
"That's awful I'm sorry."
She shook her head, "No others have it worse, I knew Draco didn't love me as much as I didn't love him, we were both in the same boat."
George's eyes got bigger, now resembling saucers. "Draco? As in Malfoy, Draco Malfoy?"
"Yes. We split last year, after many arguments with our parents. He's now happily engaged to Astoria Greengrass."
"Just to be clear, he's half Draco Malfoy?"
Y/N turned angry, "Yes my son is Draco Malfoy's son, now if you'll exuse me we have places to be." She walked out the door, head held high, and was half way down the street before George caught up with her. "Y/N! I didn't mean it like that! It's just I remember Draco,  he was all doom and gloom and rude and insolent. It just surprised me that this happy chappy was related to him, he's so lovely!"
Y/N stopped, allowing him to catch up. "I'm sorry, my words came out wrong, it's just you're really beautiful now and still headstrong it just blew me away."
"You think I'm beautiful?" George nodded feverishly. "And Bailey isn't a deal breaker?"
"Absolutely not, he's adorable and sweet. Now, can I buy you that ice cream?"
--------------
Two years later.

"George."
"Yes love?" His firey head came round the door, looking for his fiancée before finding her at the sink. She looked up from the object in her hand, " I'm pregnant." George stuttered, eyes bulging. "Pregnant? Are you sure?"
"Pretty positive, I did 4 tests." Y/N bit her lip, nervously waiting for his reaction. "PREGNANT?! BAILEY COME HERE!!"
The little blonde boy ran into the room, catapulting himself into George. "Daddy!"
"Yes buddy! Guess what?" George spun Bailey around, the boy giggling loudly. "What?"
"You're gonna be a big brother! Your mummy's gonna have a baby!" Bailey screamed, jumping up and down excitedly. George looked over at Y/N  biting back his grin. "Come here," he held out his arm to her, "Give me a kiss, I'm gonna be a dad!"
