Scorpius was eight when he could no longer ignore the whispers. Grandfather and dad had been arguing for weeks, and Draco’s face was pinched with worry as they went to St Mungo's for their yearly check-up. The specialist threw around words like "trauma" and "absent maternal influence."
When they Flooed home, he turned to his dad and asked, "Are they saying that I'm a Squib because Mum died?"
"Scorpius, they don't know what they're talking about." He sounded tired and sad. "If that's true, then Harry Potter wouldn't have had an ounce of magic. Your magic isn’t absent, it’s just…late."

"Uncle Draco! Where are my presents?" Inquisitive fingers immediately delved into velvet robe folds.
"Teddy Lupin! Where are your manners?"
"It's fine, Aunt Andromeda. It is his birthday, after all." Draco smiled at his four-year-old co-conspirator.
"He's not too young to learn manners," Andromeda said with a touch of exasperation. "He's never this willful with his godfather."
Draco shrugged. He didn't see why he shouldn't shower his nephew with presents when he could afford to.
Meanwhile, Teddy had climbed into Draco's lap, claiming it as his throne.
"Presents?" Wide amber eyes asked hopefully.
Draco laughed. "Wait until the others arrive."

"Malfoys don't do charity."
Astoria gave him a look that was almost as effective as the Malfoy eyebrow.
Draco quickly amended himself. "I meant to say, we don't believe in charity unless it puts us in a good light."
His wife was unmoved. "So? Pull some strings and get the Daily Prophet to cover it."
Sighing, he pulled out a Gringotts form. "How many galleons did you say the charity need?"
Astoria beamed. "Five hundred galleons should do nicely, dear."
"Make sure the donation stays anonymous," he called out to his wife's back.
Society of Ferrets and Weasels Preservation indeed. |

| "Golden Strand" (Draco and Scorpius, PG, 100 words) |
[Apr. 28th, 2008|10:21 pm] |
Title: Golden Strand
Character(s): Draco and Scorpius
Rating: PG
Challenge: Strand
Word count: 100 words
Author's notes: With a name like Scorpius Hyperion, I couldn't resist.
"Nooo! Not my golden hair!" Scorpius clutched at his braid as if Draco was about to cast Crucio instead of a simple haircut charm.
Draco blamed his wife for letting their son wear his hair long ("But he looks so pretty, dear.") He had not pressed the issue since Scorpius was tutored at home.
But now the boy was going to Hogwarts, where the last male student with long hair was none other than Lucius Malfoy.
Draco sighed. "If you keep your marks up and become a prefect, you may grow your hair down to your arse with my blessings."

| China doll (Draco/Pansy, Astoria, PG-13, 100 words) |
[Mar. 9th, 2008|07:24 pm] |
Title: China Doll
Pairing(s): Draco/Pansy, Astoria
Rating: PG-13 for boys being boys
Challenge: Common Room
Word count: 100 words
Author's notes: Sorry JKR, but Pansy is 100 times more interesting than your self-insertion Mary Sue Ginny.
Also answers writing_game's China Doll prompt.
"Daphne's little sister is interested in you." Pansy carded careful fingers through white blond hair.
Draco, head comfortably pillowed on her lap, grunted noncommittally.
"All the boys—even Blaise—think she's pretty," Pansy continued.
Snuggling deeper into the sofa, Draco said, tone unconcerned, "She is prettier than her sister."
Pansy paused in her ministrations.
"She's like a china doll--pretty and vacuous. Blaise always does prefer them empty-headed."
When Pansy resumed her petting, Draco drawled, "Besides, nobody else fill out their robes like you do."
Pansy snorted.
"Ow! No hair pulling!"
"Serves you right." A small smile quirked her lips.
