Draco smiled at the warmth that filled his pocket, his hand reaching inside as he removed the small stone. He thought back to the night Ginny gave him the charmed stone for his birthday. Every time she thought of him it would heat up, sometimes he couldn't help but laugh at how often it warmed up. He was forced to remove it from his pocket a few times because he couldn't take the distraction. Whenever he knew Ginny was thinking about him, he would start thinking about her and with how much the rock seemed to have a permanent rising temperature, it was hard to get any work done.

"Good Morning Draco, any letters yet from the kids?" Hermione asked as she took a seat in front of his desk.

"Yes, Harper sends a letter every day, sometimes twice. She is giving me a play by play of her time at Hogwarts. Riley wrote a few times, Aurora once and nothing from Ellie yet, what about Rose and Hugo?" he asked, placing the stone back in his pocket.

She let out a sad sigh. "Well, not as much as I would have liked. They are growing up too fast."

"Guess you better get cracking on a third one then?" he teased.

"Why do that when you have plenty to choose from?" she said with a giggle.

"Which one would you want?"

"Scorpius of course, he's the good one."

"Hell, no, he's my only son and besides......you're right, he is the good one."

"Nah, he's all grown up anyway, I'll take Ava."

"You can have Harper, but only on the weekends.....I'll miss her too much."

"Are we swapping children?" Harry asked, walking in and placing a file down on Draco's desk. "If we are, I want Scorpius...he's the good one."

Hermione and Draco shared a quick laugh before he reached for the file. "Is this all of it?"

"Yes, Draco, anything and everything on Noah Adwell and his father," Harry said.

Hermione glowered at him, her eyes wide. "You didn't?"

"I just want to make sure-"

"Draco, you're doing background checks and investigating your daughter's boyfriend. I think you've gone mad." she lectured him. "Noah seems like a very nice boy."

"Yeah, there's not much in there on him, nothing really. The only thing on his dad is just some cases he's dealt with but nothing too concerning. Most of it is just about people he's helped." Harry explained.

"And the uncle, Robert Adwell?" Draco asked, flipping through the file.

"Can't find anything on him, there's just no file at all."

"Interesting," Draco said to himself.

"Is it? Or are you just wasting valuable time on nonsense when you could be on your way home to your family?"
