Always

Chapter Two

Draco
When I heard the weasel hurt Granger  I laughed all night long. Mean? I suppose so but the Mudblood got what she deserved. To think she could marry a wizard! Even a low profile one like Ron Weasley. I laugh when I think about it again. I head downstairs to wake Scorpius, which used to be his mother that would wake him every morning. I shake with anger just thinking about her. She claims to love me then tries to convince me to help her bring back the Dark Lord? Unbelievable! It's bad enough that I have the Dark Mark still and on top of that everyone knows I was a Death Eater! I take a calming breath before opening Scorpius's door. "Scorpius. You need to get up we have to get your school supplies today." I tell him.
" Father I don't want to get up! I don't want to!"
" And why is that?"
" Well,uh, the floor is to cold," he says with a nod of his head.
" You have socks on Scorpius."
" Fine," he says with a sigh.
After making sure he actually is getting up I head downstairs to the kitchen and prepare breakfast, and when I say prepare I really mean casting a spell for it to cook itself, mainly because I am a terrible cook.
After a quick breakfast I grab the Floo powder and allow Scorpius to grab some first. He steps into the black fireplace and yells " DIAGON ALLEY!" Before throwing down the powder. Green flames consume him and he disappears. I quickly follow suit and disappear myself.
We stroll through the alley, searching for supplies. We enter the book store and a familiar voice catches my attention. " Rose, please watch Hugo. Make sure he doesn't break anything." I scan the room looking for the source of the sound. Finally I spot her with books in her arms, she actually doesn't look that bad for just getting a divorce, well she's taking it better than I took my divorce anyway. If you didn't know her you wouldn't be able to tell she's just gotten a divorce with her hair cascading down her back and a pair of white jeans with a red jacket with a pair of flats. Unfortunately, I do know her and I can see the pain and sadness in her brown eyes. I can understand every time I look at Scorpius I see his mother, and Rose and Hugo look almost exactly like Weasley. Whoa. Where did that come from?
I make my way towards her but soon realize what I'm doing and begin to turn around, not quickly enough the, our eyes meet and the gaze holds for sometime before I break the silence with, " Granger."
" Malfoy," she says in reply.
I clear my throat and walk away, taking Scorpius with me. " You like her don't you Father?"
I halt at his question before answering," No, I do not."
" You hesitated."
" And?"
" Arthur says that if you hesitate then it means the opposite of the answer you gave."
" Well rest assured that I do not like her, and I can assure you she doesn't like me either."
" Is it because of the Mark?"
" You could say that."
" Well I think you like her and she likes you."
I think about what I did to deserve such an intelligent and wise kid like Scorpius. Maybe I do have some feelings for her. If anything as acquaintances... I hope.
