Chapter 9 - Adoption

A/N - I don't know much bout adoption so sorry if it's not accurate!

They were walking to the door when Harry's arm was tugged back from the hand he was holding. Draco had stopped in his tracks just staring at  the door, Harry knew how to help him as Draco had done this a couple times before - when he was telling his mother they were dating and when he had gone to ask Remus (as he was Harry's 'family') if he could  marry Harry - so he slowly walked toward his frozen fiancé, cupping his check in his hand, kissing him softly and cautiously walking back toward the orphanage. As he suspected, Draco followed along.

As they walked through the old, dark - wooded door, the lady from the phone - Harry knew by the voice - jumped up, "Oh, hello, dear! Are you the young man who called?", he nodded walking closer to the desk she was sat at asking to see who they could adopt. The brunette lady showed them into the room they all were playing in, Draco instantly saw the blonde from the advert and tugged at Harry's sleave. The boy seemed around 6-7 months, still a little chubby baby, he was on his back by the baby toys with his itsy tinsey toes covered in slobbery spit planted just under his upper lip, no teeth in sight. His hair was platinum blonde, just like the Malfoy's, but had soft, hazel eyes. Perfect. He was perfect.

"Harry. Harry, look!" Draco said glancing toward the cute ball of happiness, he followed his gaze and almost started crying, "Can we?" Harry asked the lady beside them, she nodded happily walking toward the baby boy before carefully pulling him into her arms and walking back to the couple at the door, placing him carefully into Harry's. His fiancé was now full on crying with happiness as Harry turned to him, cooing at the baby in his arms as Draco softly stole him from Harry's light grip.

Harry turned his attention to the lady who had taken care of him, he opened his a mouth to talk but the words got stuck in his throat,  "Would you like to have him?", she offered before Harry could burst into tears. "Thank you so much!", she walked beck out to the front desk and grabbed a small pile of papers, stapled together neatly, "You'll just have to read through these and sign both of your names at the end. Also, because of his age, you get to rename him if you wish to do so.", she ushered them back to the main reception area. Draco still holding their soon-to-be son, they sat down on the seats at the side of the room and read through the papers. It only took around 5 minuets before they signed their names on two sheets, both the same but one for them and one for the orphanage, and decided on the name. The brunette also signed them, handing one back to the men, filing the other into the cabinet below the desk. "Come back in about a month so we can check on your son!", putting emphasis on the last two words, smiling with a mix of sadness and happiness.

Draco handed the boy to Harry and they went home a happy family!

When they got back home, Harry asked Kreacher  to change the spare room next to their own into a baby room for the new addition to the family and with a snap of his fingers, the room had changed to a soft baby blue with a small wooden crib in the corner with other baby necessities placed around the room. On the walk home, the baby had fallen asleep in Harry's arms so when they got back, he went and sat on the sofa as carefully and silently as he could. Draco soon joined him, placing his head on the opposite shoulder to where their son lay. "How did we not do this sooner, Draco?" He whispered warmly, when there was no response, he knew Draco was asleep so he relaxed even deeper into the cushions and kissed both boys' heads, 

"I love you Dragon, I love you Scorpious.", he spoke as soft as he could.
