Harry Potter One Shots

A Simple Life (Draco Malfoy)

Well done to those of you that guessed, this one-shot is about Draco Malfoy! I'm sorry for the wait between updates, I go through and update each story in turn and I was struggling with a bit of writer's block for my most recent update of Raison D'etre, so in compensation, I give you two one-shots; this one and the next! I hope you enjoy, my darlings!

"Dear, it doesn't matter if we're a little late, we were seeing our son off the Express. A lot of people will be late." Draco informed me as we hurried through the Atrium of the Ministry. "Even the Minister herself will be late."

I slowed down a little. "Ok, fine, but I do have a lot of work to catch up on and-" Draco cut me off with a kiss.

"I know, darling." Draco took my hand and we made our way leisurely to our offices. "So, how's work?"

"Oh, the usual, some idiot doing something stupid that could cause an international incident and needs a lawyer to sort them out. You?" I asked with a smile.

"Just some idiots breaking the law and Potter lording it as usual," Draco muttered.

"You're the one that wanted to be an Auror, dear," I reminded him.

"Yeah, and what a pain in the arse that turned out to be," Draco said.

"Be nice! He's the father of our son's best friend." I told Draco.

"As long his doesn't marry one of them, I'll be fine," Draco said before leaving me at my office on Level 5 to head up to his office on Level 2.

****

I read over the case file that I had in front of me, another idiot had messed up in France and needed a lawyer to represent him. I had just begun to start writing down crucial elements of the case when I was interrupted by a knock on my office door. It was my secretary.

"Jamila, is everything OK?"

"There's a message from Hogwarts, Mrs Malfoy, about your son."

I headed over to the fireplace and floo'd to Hogwarts.

****

"MISSING! What do you mean my son is missing!" I yelled, Draco's hand on my shoulder doing nothing to calm me.

"Hey, our son is missing too!" Ginny Potter added.

"In all honesty, Potter, normally I would come up with some sort of retort if it wasn't for the fact that I currently don't care and the fact that our sons are more than likely together," I replied.

"How very Slytherin of you,"

"Actually, I think you'll find that I was a member of Ravenclaw House."

"Mrs Potter! Mrs Malfoy! Please can you refrain from arguing so that we can try and figure out where your sons are!" Professor McGonagall said cutting through the argument.

"Ron said something about seeing Albus with an older girl last night," Ginny suggested.

"Delphini! Harry yelled out, dashing out of the room, Ginny close on his heels.

"Who?" I asked as myself and Draco ran after them.

****

I ignore Potter as he and his family along with Granger and Weasley watch as his parents are killed. I have sympathy for him but all I can think of is my precious boy, currently held in my arms.

"I'm sorry, mum. We just wanted to help." Scorpius told me as I held him tight, Draco standing next to us.

"We know, darling. Just tell us next time you want to go on a life-threatening mission, yeah?" I asked with a smile, my question making both Malfoy men chuckle.

"Is it too much for me and your mother to have a simple life?" Draco asked with a smile as he pulled Scorpius into an embrace.

"I'm going to go with a yes on that one, dad," Scorpius said with a chuckle.

Draco put his arm around the two of us. "Come on, let's go home."

6 YEARS LATER (June 2026)

"Do you Rose Granger-Weasley take Scorpius Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Why did I agree to this again?" Draco whispered to me.

"Because you love your son and want him to be happy?" I replied.

"Yes, but why the spawn of Weasley and Granger of all people."

"They're not that bad, Draco."

"They're Weasley and Granger!"

"I now pronounce you husband and wife!" The officiator called out.

"Shut up and clap!" I hissed at Draco, who did as he was told.

"Congratulations darling!" I said to Scorpius bringing him into a hug. "Welcome to the family, dear," I told Rose with a smile.

"I'm so happy for you darling!" A feminine voice said as Hermione Granger-Weasley wrapped her daughter in a hug. "And what your mother said to my daughter is definitely reiterated for us as well, Scorpius."

Draco and Ron both offered the congratulations and the newlyweds went off to meet their guests.

"Malfoy." Ron greeted.

"Weasley," Draco replied.

"Men." Hermione and I groaned exasperatedly.
