A/N: I wrote this as a cute little one-shot but I don't know if I should write more chapters. What do you guys think? Leave a comment in the review? Anyway this is 5 years after Hogwarts and Voldemorts defeat. The light side has won. Just for fun really. I loved writing this one, creating little Scorpius' personalty.
Disclaimer: Nope, Don't own it, never will.
Trouble at the Sweet Shop
It was 5 years since Draco Malfoy had left Hogwarts, the dark side had lost and he was saved from an awful fate, thanks to Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix who had evidence that he was forced to do the dark lords bidding.
The blonde had matured a lot in 5 years, he was taller and more defined now, muscles that had obviously developed from quidditch which he still played as a hobby. He was a successful business man with shares in many companies and a huge anonymous contributor to many charities, enabling him to keep a personal life.
He was standing in 'Flourish and Blotts' looking at Quidditch books, he was dreadfully bored.
"Daddy, can we go to 'Sugarplum's' now?" A small blonde haired boy was tugging on him arm.
"In a minute, we're just waiting for mummy to finish here and then I'll take you to get some sweets, deal?" He smiled at the small 4 year old and watched as he toddled of into the children's section. 10 minutes later he was still staring at the same row of books, deciding he had had enough of the scenery, he went to the check out and told the worker to tell his wife he had gone to 'Sugarplum's Sweet Shop'.
"Scorp, come on son, we're going to get sweets"
"Yeah" and the small boy ran towards his father, holding his hand as they exited the shop and towards the brightly lit sweet shop, they entered and the 4 year old loosed his fathers hand and ran to find what he wanted. The shop was packed, people everywhere were looking for sugary snacks. Deciding to keep a close eye on Scorpius, his young son, he followed the direction he went in and quickly found him by the chocolate frogs.
"Found anything you want yet?"
"Daddy please, leave me alone, I don't follow you and mummy when you do your shopping" He was quite cheeky for a 4 year old, Draco stepped back to look at something sweet so his son could not see him but managed to still keep an eye on him. Taking another step back whilst watching his son, he accidently bumped into the person standing behind him.
"My apolo...Weasel?" Shocked to find his old enemies here, as it was rumoured he and Potter had gone to France on some Auror business. Both Harry and Ron had become Aurors after leaving Hogwarts, and seeing as their job would take them abroad and Hermione had chosen to work as a healer, they had lost contact.
"Watch where your going Malfoy" Ron was in no mood to deal with Draco, although he had been cleared, Ron and Harry had never taken the news well and wished he was locked up in Azkaban to rot like his parents.
"Thought you'd left the country...pity you've come back really. It was so peaceful here without you"
"Watch it Malfoy, we've just got back and don't think I haven't thought about going over your files again." This time it was Harry to talk, both he and Ron had gotten a lot broader due to their line of work. Both pretty much looked the same elsewhere, Harry with the same glasses and same messy black hair and Ron with the same ginger hair and vacant Weasley expression.
"Look over my files, I've been cleared of all charges, now if you'll excuse me" He pushed past Ron, who in a moment of anger, grabbed Malfoy by the scruff of his robes and pushed him against the shelves, causing stock to fall and customers to gather around and take notice.
"What are you doing to my daddy Mr?" Little Scorpius, looked up and Ron and frowned with those big blue eyes, intending to be intimidating but coming across as simply adorable. Harry pulled Ron off of Malfoy and apologised to the boy.
"Go back to finding your sweets Scorpius, Dad will be with you in a minute" Scorpius frowned at his father, then gave a cheeky smile and walked off.
"A son? Malfoy you never said you had a kid with you, wanted me to seem like the bad guy for beating up some foul scum of a father?"
"Well you didn't give me much choice did you Weasel, go around pushing every citizen about do you?"
"Only the death eaters"
"Watch your mouth Weasley, I am not a death eater!" Draco was beginning to look like the teenager the others had always known him to be, that smirk had come back with a vengence and his wand arm was twitching as he tried not to hex them.
The croud had gotten bored now and had gone back to their own business, heated looks were being passed by the three people standing here, Harry had grabbed Ron's arm and muttered "We're going" before pushing Ron towards the door of the shop, they were about to open the door when it swung open and hit Ron on the nose, knocking him back.
Seeing this Malfoy laughed as he watched the scene unfold, the woman pushing the door, entered and realising she had hurt someone, immediately went to help the red head up.
"I'm so sorry, are you ok? Oh my goodness Ron?" The woman helped him up as he looked up to meet ther person who had currently made his nose bleed "Hermione?" He smiled and through his arms around her, it was slightly weird to her as the last time she had seen him was when she had dumped in, 5 years ago. She never really felt the connection and wanted to move on. She flung her arms around Harry who was also in shock. "How have you been?"
"Good, good yeah, we've just got back from France, starting back in the ministry this week how about you?"
"Yeah I mean it's great I'm married now" She held up her wedding finger to show them the sparkling ring and smiled the widest smile. Ron's face dropped, this was the girl he had dreamed about every day for 5 years and he hoped that by coming back home, he would some how find a way back into her heart. Feeling the tension Hermione changed the subject.
"So what made you storm out of here like that?" She looked at Ron who turned around and glared at Malfoy, she looked up and silver met brown.
"Ferret, just causing the usual trouble, acting like he owns the place, I was about to throttle him but then his kid showed up, didn't even know he had a kid" Ron was going on. She looked at Draco who had a huge smile on his face and was trying to surpess a laugh.
"Listen there's something I've got to tell you..."
"MUMMY!" The small, blonde haired boy jumped into her arms and gave her a big squeeze, she looked at Ron and Harry who had a severe look of confusion on their faces. Scorpius clung to his mother, Draco stepped forward and placed an arm around Hermione.
"You've met my wife haven't you?"
Hermione gave Ron and Harry an innocent smile.
A/N: Review?
Should it be a one-shot or a fully fledged story?
