—Harry POV—

We were all sitting and conversing while Ginny finished cooking when a knock came from the front door.

"Harry, can you get that please?" called Ginny from the kitchen.

"Yeah, I've got it," I responded as I lifted myself from the couch. I opened the door to be greeted by Malfoy and his son. Malfoy was dressed casually nice in a polo shirt and jeans, and his son was similarly dressed. I could see faded lines where his dark mark used to be. I shuddered at the thought.

"Hello." He held out a hand for me to shake. It took me a second to register as I looked at his hand, then took it and gave it a shake.

"Welcome," I said as I looked up towards him. We lingered for a bit before I pulled myself back into reality. And let go of his hand.

"Please, make yourselves at home. Dinner should be just about ready."

"Thank you."

—Draco POV—

As Harry stepped aside I let myself walk into his home with Scorpius holding my hand. Harry guided me towards the dining room, which seemed to blend into the kitchen and the living room, being one big open space. The kitchen and dining room on my left were separated by an island and the living room, to the right of the dining room, which seemed to fit between the living room and kitchen, was defined by the couch on the other side of the dining room table.

"Everyone is getting ready to eat, said Harry nervously before headed towards the table with his head slightly down.

I saw everyone get to the table taking their seats and went towards them all. To think that we hadn't seen each other in 10 years, and never in a good circumstance, it was odd to think of a dinner party with two Weasleys, Granger, and Potter.

"Hello everyone. This is my son Scorpius." I looked towards him as he shyly clung to my hand and waved at everyone.

"Hello Scorpius, I'm Hermione, this is my husband Ron, and our daughter Rose. She seems just about your age," she said happily. Weasley gave a small wave at the mention of his name.

"Malfoy, you and your son don't mind chicken, potatoes and vegetables right?" asked Ginny as she put two plates on the table.

"No not at all. Thank you." I slowly took an empty seat at the table.

"Harry can you please get Teddy from his room?"  Weaslette requested as she served another plate. At that I saw Harry leave upstairs out of the corner of my eye.

"Scorpius do you want me to separate your food so they don't touch?" Was she always this thoughtful? I answered for him as I helped him take a seat next to me.

"He won't mind his food touching. Thank you for the thought, though."

I turned at the sound of Teddy storming down the stairs and Harry following quietly behind. I realized that Teddy's hair had changed to a bright blond. The other day though it was brown... that means he has the metamorphagus ability...like Nymphadora did.

We all sat down and began eating. I took note that although Weasley's eating habits hadn't changed, he was now much more neat about it. Rose had her foods separated. Teddy and Scorpius are the same. Harry and what seems to be his more recent small demeanor was eating little bits slowly.

"So, M-Draco. How has everything been?" asked Granger, breaking the tense silence.

"Ever since Scorpius, it's been an adventure. Raising a child is no easy task. I moved here to America when he was 2 years old. I don't work on account of raising him. That and my family's fortune..."
