After dinner is down and we eat, we put Scorpio to bed and sit in the study. As I write, I speak aloud.

"Dear Minister, We had to run. We thought Draco would be put in Azkaban. This would get him killed. We thought I would be put in Azkaban. This would get me killed. After the aftermath of the battle, I wanted to confront Draco on why he betrayed Voldemort. When I followed the Malfoys, I found Lucius Malfoy strangling his son. I pushed him off and his neck hit the edge of the table. If fear that we would be imprisoned, we set fire to the manor and fled. We now life on a farm in Y Barn. If you wish, you can come find us. We have a child. Please don't put him in harms way. Signed, Harry Potter."

Draco give a short nod and Hermione takes it in hand. She crumbles it and it burns in her hand, before disappearing "When did you learn that?" I ask.

"Couple years ago." she states and I give an impressed look "We've grow a lot in the past few years."

I furrow my brow and state "You already know what happened in our life. What happened in everyone elses?"

"George has a son, Fred the second. He's a few months younger than Scorpio." Hermione states, before continuing "Ginny married Dean, fourish years ago."

"Good for them." I state, before the room goes into an awkward silence, before I ask "Should we tell them, before they read it in the prophet?"

"I'd like to see my mum." Draco states, before gocking "Let her know she's a grandmother, you know?"

I hum and Ron looks to Hermione "I'll get my siblings and parents, if you get Narcissa." he states and they pop away.

"We should get Scorpio." I state and he nods. We don't make it two feet, before finding the snake on the couch in the snug, indicating Scorpio is still awake and looking for an informant.

"Scorpio! Get down here, darling!" Draco calls and I can hear his door opening. As we walk out of the snug, I can hear him pattering down the stairs.

He fakely rubs his eyes and I gock "Our little actor." Draco scoffs, before kneeling in front of Scorpio.

He scoops him up and tells Scorpio "You are about to meet your grandmother for the very first time."

Scorpio frowns "I thought Mimi and Papa were dead." Draco and I share a look and Scorpio gives us a curious look.

"Those were my parents, babe." I state and he furrows his brow "You're about to meet your daddy's mum."

He rests his head on Draco's muscular shoulder and I give a warm smile as Draco rests his head on Scorpio's.

There's a long moment of silence, until there's a crashing in the sitting room. Draco and I instantly move to see who it is.

The Weasley family stands and in the glassway, a broken pot at the feet of a little redheads feet "Sorry mister." Fred the second says.

I can see the light drain from Draco's eyes and he sits Scorpio down. Scorpio steps over and mends the pot, causing an immediate friendship with Fred.

Draco sighs and step over to pull a chair out from under the dining room table. Ginny whispers "I knew it."

I look to her and Dean to find Dean looks awkwardly and she looks eager. As I look over the other Weasleys, I find Molly crosses her arms in anger "Harry Pottah! You're going to have to explain a lot!"

I set my jaw, before deciding "I'll put the kettle on."

As soon as I put the kettle on, there's a shuffling in the study, barely audible over the Weasleys chattering.

"Draco?" I hear Narcissa asks and Draco is on his feet before she enters the room. They stare at each other in utter disbelief, before sprinting towards one another.

When they collide, they drop to ground and they erupt in sniffling and laughing. After a moment, Draco holds out his hand to Scorpio "Come here, baby."

Hesitantly, Scorpio steps forward and Narcissa gives Draco a pleased smile "My little boy is all grown up with his own little boy."

Draco sniffles as they grip onto one another "I love you, mum." A smile spreads across Narcissa's face and she offers her hand to me.

When I take it, she pulls me down and holds me there "I love my family."

After Scorpio and Fred have been put to sleep, Draco and I sit on opposite sides of the table as the rest of the Weasleys fire questions at Narcissa and us.

"You knew that they would be safe!" Hermione roars at Narcissa "Why didn't you tell us they were alive?"

"Draco had the dark mark." Narcissa states as she runs her hand through Draco's hair "By the time I was through trial, I didn't want to ruin my son's chance at a good life, outside of the wizarding world."

Arthur slams his hand on the table as he hisses "We thought them both to be dead! Mourned for them!"

Draco and Narcissa look taken aback, so I speak up "I don't regret it." they give me a curious look and I shrug "I ran, when I should have fought. Hell, I even killed a man. But, I don't regret it."

They're silent, so I continue "If I hadn't had killed a man, and I hadn't had ran, I would not have my son." I tap my knuckles on the table, before clarifying "And I know he's not my biological son, technically, but he's my son, and I would kill anyone who laid a hand on him."

When they remain silent, I remark "If I wouldn't have ran, I would have settled down with Ginny. That so isn't me." I shake my head and shrug "If I wouldn't have ran, I wouldn't have shot my brains out by now."

They're silent for a moment, before George remarks "I've only got one question for the both of you, Draco. Why did you risk it?"

Draco taps his fingers on the table, before explaining "I know that my little boy would have a fantastic father to watch over him, if I did return. Aiden would definately help Harry insure Scorpio had good parents. Gigi, our babysitter, would help as best she'd can."

He sets his jaw and continues "But if I didn't, Harry would be happy, and Scorpio would have such a great family behind him." he nods "I did this, because I love my family."
