Draco had collected Alyssa, Alex, and Aidan not long after lunch that day, having decided he wanted to take his children out for a bit of a treat and a film. However, the cool dark of the theater had been calming, and lulled Alyssa to sleep curled in his lap, despite the noise of the film. Aidan had been entranced by the film, while Alex had curled next to Draco, half chattering to her brother and half to Draco about every little thing on the screen. Draco had been certain to cast a small muffling spell, so the children could chatter as they wished and not disturb others in the theater.
As the credits rolled, the twins bounced up, ready to leave. Draco shifted Alyssa in his arms, settling her still sleeping against his shoulder, one arm anchoring her carefully while Alex held his other hand, and Aidan held onto Alex, and they all headed towards the front of the theater and the door which led directly to the street. He blinked as they slipped from the blackness of the theater into the bright light, trying to focus as the children pulled at his hand. Alex slipped free, and he called out quickly, "Alex! Aidan!" but not quickly enough before they ran, still half blind from the dark of the theater, into a woman on the street on their way to look at the posters they'd been aiming towards.
"I'm sorry," Draco apologized, the twins echoing the sentiment. Alyssa made small snuffling noises at the sound, burying her face further into the crook of his neck, unwilling to wake just yet.
