Draco's Little Crush (and how to get rid of it) | Dramione

how to get rid of it

author's note: you thought I was done yet? you thought wrong 

has anyone thought why was the title of this story so long? why did I put the parentheses on "how to get rid of it" ? well, I have planned this ALTERNATE ending from the beginning. But I'm not saying that this is going to be the actual ending of this story-- this is just something that could happen when one's actions have changed their lives forever.

The first years were excited to finally board the train to hogwarts. Draco coming back to it felt the instant nostalgia, reminiscing about the first time he has took the train there. Now that he's a potions teacher, he is more than excited to finally teach his own son, Scorpius, wishing that he would be sorted into Slytherin as well.

"Father, what if I get sorted into Gryffindor? then I won't be able to be with you in Slytherin." Scorpius frowned.

"Scorpius, there's nothing wrong with Gryffindors. They're brave, and resilient. Trust me, I know a few Gryffindors in my age who were there."

"Like Harry Potter?"

"Like Harry Potter." Draco smiled at his son, giving him a nice warm hug.

"Won't you be joining in the train, father?"

"I can't just now. Cuppy hasn't been home in a while so I have no choice but to take care of your sister." Cuppy was their new family house elf. She was originally Astoria's elf but since Draco and Astoria got married, Cuppy becomes part of the Malfoys.

"All aboard!" the conductor yelled.

"Go on, I'll see you in the next few days, don't worry"

"Goodbye father!"

"Goodbye, mum" a little girl spoke not too far from a distance, giving her mother a warm embrace before she enters the train.

"Be safe, Rose!"

"I will mum! Bye dad!" She waved at her parents. Draco turned to the child to see a familiar pair of brown eyes, lots of freckles, curly and a rather bushy red hair.

He looked at her parents that just so happened to be none other than Hermione and Ron Weasley. Smiling at their daughter who has gotten on board. The little boy who was with the two also has red hair, but much more entirely looked like Ron.

Draco took a deep breath, carrying his child and turned to Astoria. "Let's go?" as she nods.

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO

Ever since after graduation, Hermione and Draco did successfully get their dream jobs. Hermione owns a proper office for S.P.E.W. and a house for caretaking all the elves who needed aids away from their cruel masters. Draco on the other hand, became an auror, Alongside Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, he was still very competitive when it comes to his job.

So far their years of living together had gotten inevitable arguments and misunderstandings, stating the fact that both of them have busy works and neither of them can provide perfect time for each other. The only time they can actually spend is during the mornings, and when both of them come home. The cycle had kept on going, but sadly both of them get tired each and every day, especially Draco, who was very competitive of his work, comes home very late and sleepy, resulting in the lack of conversation.

However Hermione's organization had grown not only nationwide, but worldwide. So as the founder of the organization, she was forced to go travel around the world to help other elves as well. Draco thought it would be a perfect opportunity if he would tag along with her and support her in her work. Draco's job as an auror has affected this type of decision he made.
