Dad Says (Harry X Draco)

Chapter 14 (Epilogue)

***
BOXING DAY, TWO YEARS LATER

You are cordially invited for a Boxing Day lunch with the Malfoys. RSVP

Grimmauld Place had outdone itself, thought Harry. It clearly liked being full, even if it was mainly with Weasleys.

Everyone was in a food coma after the sumptuous feast the house had provided ("It's fascinating that your house can cook, Harry. That's really unusual, even in old magical houses!" said Hermione) and they were lounging around the living room in varying states of digestion.

Scorpius, Titus, Teddy and Fran were flying. (Technically, muggles weren't supposed to fly on broomsticks, but Fran was so good at quidditch that no one ever stopped her.) Andy and Anthea were talking quietly by the fireplace, their heads bent towards each other. Nick and Flora had already told Eve that she wasn't to tease Andy about his feelings for Anthea, which were apparently quite intense. Mr Weasley was engaged in an in depth conversation with Flora about muggle plumbing.

Andromeda and Mrs Weasley were sampling the cheese platter. Draco and Andromeda still avoided each other, although Harry knew it was because Andromeda felt guilty for having kept Teddy and Scorpius apart all those years. Draco, too, was overwhelmed by guilt about Teddy's parents. Harry hoped they would get over it one day, but so far the best either of them could do was nod politely at each other before moving to opposite sides of the room.

Mrs Weasley had taken a while to warm up to Draco. In fact, it wasn't really until she met Scorpius that she understood why Harry had married Draco in the first place. This was often the case, Harry had discovered. It was hard not to love Draco, once you knew Scorpius, even though Scorpius was being a right moody prat these days and rebelled against literally anything Draco said. Unless Draco and Harry had a fight. Then Scorpius would aggressively freeze Harry out, to demonstrate where his loyalties lay. Harry was a Malfoy now (Draco had been horrified when Harry had insisted on taking his name, but to Harry it was a no brainer. He had always longed to be part of a family; and the Malfoys were too firmly Malfoys to become Potters), but ultimately it was still Draco and Scorpius against the world.

"Contra mundum," Scorpius told him fiercely, the last time he and Draco fought, because the awful little Ravenclaw was continually speaking in Latin.

But mostly, Harry and Scorpius got on wonderfully, even through Scorpius' teenage rebellion. In any case, as rebellions went, it was pretty harmless. He seemed to think that the best way to distance himself from both Harry and Draco was to be the most Ravenclaw that ever did nerd. He quit the quidditch team (even though he loved it) so that he could study harder. It made Draco sad, but they both knew that Scorpius had a lot of repressed anger to deal with somehow or another. Contra mundum. Harry understood. Not all the Death Eater Catchers had been caught, and although public opinion had changed a great deal since Hermione passed the Reconciliation Act, people were often rude to Draco in the shop (BOOKS-Harry had worn Draco down in the end). Scorpius claimed he had nothing to do with the mysterious boils that bubbled onto people's tongues all over Hogwarts if they said anything negative about Draco Malfoy. Hermione said it was an incredibly advanced spell, and that Scorpius had a promising future as an Unspeakable.

"It's magic with no marker," she said. "It's honestly quite brilliant."

"It's Dark Magic," said Draco, bitterly.

"No, it isn't," said Harry. "Stop assuming he's about to morph into some kind of Super Villain.

You know that just makes him worse."

Hermione, Professor McGonigall, and Eve were the only adult figures who were able to get through to Scorpius at all, really. Draco was desperately worried about him. Scorpius told Harry privately that he was worried about how much Draco worried. Harry thought they were both adorable. So, fundamentally, the dynamics between them all remained unchanged.

Rose Weasley was crawling around the carpet, putting things in her mouth.

"Stop staring," said Draco, falling into the seat next to Harry.

"I'm allowed to stare," said Harry. "She's cute."

"You're baby-obsessed."

Harry was about to protest, but it was useless. He was..

"Yeah," he said, letting his head droop onto Draco's shoulder.

"You know," said Draco, slowly. "We could get one."

"A baby? What, from the baby shop?"

"Don't be insensitive. We'd adopt."

"We have Scorpius."

Draco waved his hand dismissively.

"The first pancake is always rubbish."

Harry laughed.

Come off it."

"I missed the first five years with Scorpius. You missed the first eleven."

"Are you serious?"

Draco nodded.

"I've thought about it a lot."

"I don't actually want Scorpius to feel like a first pancake," said Harry, frowning.

"He and I agree that it's a good idea," said Draco,

"You've talked to Scorpius already??"

"Of course I have. You don't think I'd risk his ire, do you? He'd probably hex us both into oblivion, and no one would ever know who'd done it."

"A baby," said Harry dreamily. "I'd have to cut back on my students."

"You've been trying to quit teaching Cuthbert for months now."

"Yeah, well, he's the most boring teenager on the planet. Fuck, Draco, a baby!"

"I take it this is a yes."

"Yes."

"Good, because I've already filled out the paperwork. Happy Christmas."

"You're terrifyingly efficient, sometimes," murmured Harry.

"Get a room, you two," said George Weasley. Harry smiled and kissed Draco harder.

All was well.
