When Draco was 8 years old, he broke his arm at school. A normal school that thought he needed to go to the hospital. Amelia picked draco up fixed his arm in a snap. Then they went to get some ice cream and ditched school the rest of the day.

Lucius got the phone call and had rushed to the school. When he heard that his wife had picked up Draco a smile covered his face. Wife.

"Shut it," Amelia warned. "I couldnt say I was his... whatever I am." Amelia grumbled. "if I did they wouldnt let me take him."

"Wife."

"Stop it." Amelia grumbled.

"Is Draco alright?" Lucius questioned.

"I fixed him, we got ice cream and he doesnt have to take his test today." Amelia answered. "Yay."

Draco wanted to go roller blading. Amelia countered i dont have good balance lets go to the theme park and ride roller coasters instead.

Amelia sent a photograph to severus of herself and draco mid scream on a ride that day. He smiled down at it. Framing it and putting it on the wall.

Amelia caught sight of herself in the mirror of the bathroom and sighed. Dirt and grime peppered her face, highlighting her blue-green eyes. Her blonde hair had slipped out of her ponytail and formed knots and dreads caked with dirt. Grease smeared her shirt, and she had a thick layer of dirt under her nails.

"What are you doing?" Lucius questioned. She turned the tap on staring at him.

"The elves are broken." Amelia grumbled.

"What happened?" He grabbed a wash cloth soaking it with soap and water.

"Draco got hurt. Again. He is rather clumsy. He crashed his bike i had to fix it."

"You were bored between missions." Lucius countered. He ran the wash cloth her hands. "Did you roll around in the dirt?"

"He did crash and yes we tried to get the bike out of the dirt it was a struggle. Plus I needed something to do."

"Here." Lucius held out a folder. "I can't open it. I tried."

"Its magic Lu." Amelia agreed. "Its a pain in the ass if you did open it."

"Your job... you going to open it?"

"It self destructs so i have to be in the right mindset and ready to memorize." Amelia shrugged finishing getting cleaned off best she could.

"You need a shower." Lucius decided.

"Mama!" Draco called out.

"Ignore him." Lucius begged

"crabe and goyle want snacks!"

"Ask dobby!" Lucius demanded

"I already told you Lu the hold elves are broken." Amelia countered

"Broken how?" Lucius countered

"Fuck if i know. Some house elf flu. They are snorting up a storm. I told them to stay away until they are fixed." Amelia told him

"Broken." lucius scoffed.  "What little fakers."

"I know when draco is faking a cold i dont think they were. You should have seen the stuff coming out of them." Amelia countered

"How will we eat? How will we-"

"Lucius. I never had elves growing up. I can handle this its not the end of the world." She assured kissing his cheek before heading down to get the children something to eat. Lucius was happy to report that amelia didnin fact know what she was doing. She smiled back at him with a wink as she plated their dinner.

" bon appétit!"

" I am surprised, considering your version of cooking with cereal and granola bars."

" shut up and eat the damn food." Amelia growled

" she taught me how to make an omelette. It's the best omelette in the world."  Draco added

" damn right it is." Amelia agreed. Lucius leaned back in his chair, smiling over his cup of wine, thinking this is what their life would look like every day.  Amelia the doting mother. Draco the attentive son. Lucius the supportive father. He could see it now. Until severus came through the door and squashed his vision

" something smells delicious."
