previously called Serenading

Draco Malfoy sat down in front of them, draped in thick warm clothes. He smiled gently, feeling nervous because he had never thought that he would ever do this before. They sat there in silence until the blond decided to break the news. "I wanted to ask for Harry's hand in marriage. Just... I know I might not be the one you wanted for him but I'll try my best to love him and care for him. Always know that I will always try my best just for Harry. Through thick and thin, I will always be there for him."
"So, I wanted to serenade a song. I practised this just for you."
I'm gonna marry your son
And make him my husband
He'll be the most beautiful groom that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile,
As he walks down the aisle,
On the arm of his (adopted) father
On the day that I marry your son.
He sang the entire song with a shy tone. Mind you, he had never sung songs in the middle of the graveyard to a pair of dead people before.
"Please bless my marriage with Harry. That's all I ever wanted. Just your blessings for the both of us," Draco smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Mr and Mrs Potter. For giving birth to him. He's the most amazing person that I had ever met in my entire life. Despite all the things that he had been through, he's still standing strong. I admire him for that. Generally, because he's an admirable person all together really."
"He didn't even know about this visit. I asked the Minister to let me out early just to see you two before I went back home," Draco's eyes softened. "Home. How odd that he's my home now. I never thought he'll ever be my home. My safe place."
"Anyways," he checked his watch. "I have to take my leave now. Pardon me," he grinned. "I'll come and visit again soon. See if I ever get the chance to propose to him."
"Goodbye, Mr and Mrs Potter."
He apparated away after looking around for any signs of Muggles.
. . .
"He's grown," Lily smiled from her grave, sitting at the spot right in front of where Draco sat. "I don't think he noticed that he himself had grown to become an equally admirable person."
"That he is," James agreed.
"Much like you," Lily nudged. They shared a smile. "He'll be good for Harry. Those two will go far."
"Yes. They have the potential," Sirius sat down next to James. "They both have the ability to take over the world if they wanted to."
"Now don't give them any ideas, Sirius," Remus and Tonks came to Lily's side. "That young Malfoy will be the Ministry surely."
"Hey, Harry can be the Ministry too!" James argued.
"You think Harry has a good sense of politics?" Lily deadpanned. "Knowing your son, he'll be like you."
"Hey! He's your son too!"
