When Harry turned the corner he was met with Teddy and his teacher standing in the hallway. He sped his pace a little and placed a hand on Teddy's shoulder drawing the teacher's attention to him.

"Hello Mr. Potter," she said, blushing at being caught in the middle of chastising a student. Harry had forgotten her name but smiled all the same.

"Mind if I take him off your hands for the day?" He asked squeezing Teddy's shoulder lightly. The woman nodded, going even redder.

"O-Of course."

"Thank you so much. Happy Friday. I'll be waiting by the office go grab your stuff and we can go. Okay?" He directed the last part at Teddy who nodded minutely and followed the teacher into the classroom. Harry walked back to the office after he noted Teddy's hair had calmed from the loud alarm red to his usual warm brown. He wondered to himself what had made the young boy so upset.

Inside the office Draco sat next to Scorpius who was in the middle of telling the Headmaster how much he liked her office and why he wanted to go to school and what he liked to learn in his current lessons. Headmistress Cromwell nodded with a huge smile on her face and when he finished talking she made sure to make eye contact.

"You're a very bright young boy, Scorpius." He giggled at that and she looked slightly confused.

"My daddy thinks so too! And so does 'Arry!"

"Who's Harry, dear?" She asked. Draco cleared his throat.

"He met Potter in the halls earlier." She nodded at that but never missed a beat.

"Well if Harry and your Father say it, then it must be true." She stated, closing up his files where she had been keeping paperwork and notes on having him enter the school.

"Well you said it too, Headmistress. Am I really that bright?" He asked wth huge eyes and a seriously curious expression. Draco looked over at his son. Isn't he too young for self doubt?

"Absolutely." He heard Cromwell tell Scorp who now had the biggest grin on his face.

"Thank you, Headmistress." He smiled up at her then looked at his father. "Daddy, can we go out for ice cream today? It's Friday! We can double up on lessons tomorrow. Pleaseeeee." Draco fondly patted the top of Scorpius' head.

"As soon as we're done here, Scorp," Draco said before sitting back in his seat again, recrossing his legs and looking up towards Cromwell.

"No problems. We can be done here, Mr. Malfoy. Just remember to send in his vaccination paperwork before the start of school and we may need you to sign a few things or show a few papers based on what you told me earlier," she motioned towards his arm. "Other than that, I will be glad to accept Scorpius into classes next term. It was very nice to speak with you both." She smiled at them again before standing and shaking their hands.

"It was nice speaking to you too, ma'am," Scorpius said before heading out of the office and back into the lobby.

"I can't thank you enough Headmaster Cromwell. Have a nice day," Draco nodded towards her then made his way into the lobby only to find that Scorpius was nowhere to be found. "Oh not again..."

As soon as Draco stepped out of the lobby and into the hall his breath caught in his throat. Potter stood there with Scorpius on his hip and what seemed to be a smaller version of himself. When he finally noticed Draco standing there he sat the small blonde on the ground and smiled at his father.
