"So 'Arry, are you a daddy too? Is that why you're here?" Asked Scorpius, tilting his head to the side in a confused manner.
"Not exactly, but I do have a godson so I guess it's kind of the same thing. I was picking him up for the weekend." Harry said looking at the boy and rubbing his neck awkwardly with one hand while he held Scorpius on his waist with the other.
"I wish my daddy would take me somewhere for the weekend. We always sit in the manor and do lessons." The boy stuck out his bottom lip.
"Well that would explain why you're so smart." At the sound of that a huge grin broke across Scorpius' face.
"My daddy says I'm really quite bright for my age." Harry nodded at him.
"Your daddy's right." At that he walked into the office.

"Mr. Malfoy, you must understand it is a bit too late in the school year to sign young Scorpius up." Said the headmistress of the small wizarding school, Agatha Cromwell (i couldn't resist).
"I fully understand that Headmaster Cromwell. That is why I'm signing him up for next year. He currently does homeschool lessons, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't late for the upcoming term." Draco Malfoy had aged well. His pointed features were less pronounced and more angular. His hair was slightly longer and no longer slicked back to his head, but gelled back loosely to give him a neatly tousled look.
He sat back in the seat in front of the headmaster in a dark grey button down with a casual black blazer and black trousers. He crossed his legs while lightly tapping his loafer clad feet.
"Oh no, if you really are here for next term you're quite early actually. I must admit I do love your eagerness to get him into school, but why here?"
"Well mostly because this school has a strict policy against discrimination based on the war." He saw her smiling face falter for a moment as her eyes fell to the tightly pressed sleeve on his forearm then snapped her gaze back up to him. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Yes, I have the dark mark, but I didn't agree with a lot of things he did. I just wanted to make my father proud and I guess, at first, I did."
"I'm sorry, I wasn't prying and I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Draco rolled his eyes again because it was obvious the opposite was true. "And you are right of course: We do have a non-discrimination rule set in place. I promise Scorpius will feel right at home with the other students when he arrives next term. You can go fetch him from the lobby so that we can begin the group interview. I love to see how the little ones feel about starting school." A huge smile took over her face and her eyes shone with a renewed purpose.
Draco gave her a small smile back and stood, heading into the office lobby to get Scorp. He walked down a short hallway and turned but the lobby was empty. He began to panic. Did someone take him? Is the non-discriminatory act just a false pretense? Just as he was about to lose his Malfoy cool the door to the office was opened and he saw a small head of that bright blonde hair.
He was surprised to say the least when he noticed that Scorpius was being held, he was pretty shy around new people. What was even more surprising was the mess of dark hair and glasses that carried him in. Draco hadn't seen the golden boy in person since his trial 8 years prior, but he could admit Harry Potter had gotten even more fit. His face had become more structured, His hair was combed back, but it was still an altogether windswept, bed-head mess. He wore a deep red almost burgundy fitted t-shirt with a pair of khakis and a pair of clean white trainers. Draco couldn't speak as he watched Scorpius giggle at something Potter had whispered to him, before walking up to the desk.
"Uh, excuse me. Whose kid is this?" Draco rolled his eyes and scoffed. Obviously he's still classless. He thought before stepping forward.
"He's mine, Potter," Draco said crossing his arms as the man looked at him for the first time in years.
"No, seriously..." He started, but at the sound of his father's voice Scorpius looked up, he nodded at Harry who put him down and watched the small boy walk slowly to his father.
"I got lost, Daddy. Sorry," he started while looking down at his shoes. "But 'Arry brought me back to you! He's really nice Daddy!" He finished, more excited than before and now turning his huge grey eyes on his father. Draco was surprised, but he still smiled down at his son.
"It's fine Scorp, I know you like to wander. Just try not to go too far next time. Okay?" Scorpius nodded and Harry spoke up.
"He wasn't that far just around the corner, I just think he forgot to pay attention." Draco seemed to tense up while looking up but away from Harry uncomfortably.
"Yeah, he has a bit of an attention issue."
"Oh, no need to get all tense," said Harry as though they were old friends and not ex-rivals. "My godson has ADHD too. I was here to get him actually when I ran into lil' Scorp, here. His teacher has him sitting in a corner for something again." Potter shrugged while rolling his eyes as though him and Draco had these talks all the time.
When Draco didn't respond Harry kept talking.
"I don't think that would be a problem with Scorp, though. He's really quite smart and he has excellent manners. Teddy's almost 10 and sometimes he forgets to say please and thank you. Not to mention he has a bit of a temper when he can't focus. I'm actually surprised I didn't know he was your son. He looks just like a little mini you..."
"Potter, you're rambling." Draco said with a small smile tugging on the edge of his lips. Harry blushed slightly then smiled.
"Yeah, I get that a lot. Well I should probably go get Teddy before he gets sent out again. It was nice to see you again, Malfoy. You look good." He looked down and smiled at mini Malfoy next. "Nice meeting you Scorp." Before he could leave Scorpius looked back at his father then launched himself towards the brunette, hugging his legs tightly and grinning up at him.
"Thank you for helping me find my daddy, 'Arry. It was nice meeting you too." Scorpius was rushing his words together Harry understood. He crouched down a bit and hugged Scorpius.
"Anytime, little man." He stood and ruffled Scorpius' hair then threw another smile at the larger Malfoy before turning and walking out of the office to finally receive Teddy.
