—Scorpius POV—
"Happy Birthday Scorpius! Ay, you've gotten so big! I can't believe it!" Exclaimed Maria as she walked through the door. I gave her a great big hug, and she gave me a kiss on the cheek, which I rubbed off, looking at her wide eyed and smiling.
"I'm turning eight today! I'm a big kid!" I told her.
"I heard. Hey, what have you gotten so far for your birthday? " She asked, and I ran to the living room to show her.
"Come look! I got a dancing game, and a sports game, and a game called Mario, and a Mario racing game, and a toy truck, I also got a jigsaw puzzle, and I got this shirt that I'm wearing, and-"
"That's amazing Scorpius," She said, smiling. I smiled back. "Did you know that I can play this game?" said Maria, pointing to the Mario racing game." I looked at her amazed.
"That's so cool! Can we play dada?" I asked him hopefully.
"Okay, but only for a little while. Teddy and Rose will be here soon."
"Okay! Come on Maria!" I took her arm and led her excitedly to the game console. Off to the side, I saw Dada talking with Harry. I grabbed the Mario racing game and put it into the Wii console. I was excited; I'd never played with another person before. I just don't talk to Harry much, and the one time dada tried to play, he got frustrated by 'all the buttons' even though I told him what all the buttons do. That reminds me. I should tell Maria what all the buttons do.
"So, you press this one to go, and you can't let it go. And this one lets go of the special squares, and this one is the letter A, and this button hiding behind the remote" I turned the remote over "That's the back button." I explained. "And you point it at the TV, to move your hand. See?" I showed her the fake hand on the TV, "It's like magic!" At this I noticed dada's eyes widen, and he started making all these crazy hand moves at me. It was confusing. Maria chuckled, repeating what I said to herself, but I was trying to figure out what dada was saying.
"What dada?" I asked him. He suddenly stopped, and pretended he was never doing anything.
"Nothing! Just, have fun playing your game." He said, turning around and taking him and Harry to the room.
"I'll be getting ready, okay? Call me if anything." He said.
"Okay! Come on Maria!"
—Draco POV—
"Okay, I obviously didn't plan this properly, what if Scorpius does accidental magic?" I complained to Harry once we were in the room.
"He probably won't- I mean, his last incident was literally him just getting scared of a snake he saw in the backyard. He'll be fine." Harry said casually.
"Besides, you checked, and the snake was actually a hose." He continued. I sighed.
"And what about Teddy? You told me not to worry about him but it's really quite difficult to do so. He hasn't learned to control his metamorphagus abilities." I asked him, growing a frustrated sort of anxious. How had I not thought about this? Why was I so blind to trust Harry without asking?
"I told you not to worry about it-"
"But why? What happened that now suddenly it's no issue?"
"I promised Teddy I wouldn't tell anyone." He responded. I grew even more frustrated.
"Well, you're about to tell me, or I don't know what I'm going to-"
"Blimey, calm down... Rita Skeeter's been spreading rumors about him. Saying that he's a werewolf. He's been a bit... depressed... about it all. He's being teased and such. Andromeda tries to keep him inside the house because of it." I relaxed a bit.
