~*~*Draco's POV*~*~

The plans for the Christmas holidays were set. Blaise had accepted the offer to stay with the Weasley's while Pansy had declined. She said it had to do with her parents so I didn't question it. I had requested for my parents to join us for Christmas day and Mrs Weasley accepted. The only issue I had now was convincing my father to be nice.

The train ride back was filled with chatter and plans. Mostly made between Ronald, Granger and Blaise. Since Pansy wasn't joining us for the holidays. Harry stayed quiet, mostly staring out of the window. My attention was mostly on him and actually getting to see Scorpious for the first time.

Harry confirmed that Scorpious was actually 3 months old by now. I felt extra bad about taking up Mrs Weasley's time even though it had literally only been for a month. The ride felt a lot longer than usual and my anxiety started to grow. I could see that Harry was getting excited though.

"Come on! Hurry." Harry yelled as soon as the train stopped.

He was already on his feet and racing towards the exit. I almost grabbed his hand but stopped myself. I honestly couldn't begin to imagine what was going through his head but it wasn't negative. He was happy and that was clear. I mean even his ears popped out on top of his head and he didn't seem to realize.

I followed Ronald to wherever his mother was and Harry was already lost from view. Mrs Weasley smiled at us and explained that she had to bring the car so it was going to be a tight squeeze. I honestly had no idea what she was talking about but as soon as I saw it it made sense.

I kind of just wished we could apparate but as soon as I saw Harry climb out of the car I realized why we couldn't. I froze in my spot as I watched Harry. The voices and sounds from all around me faded into the background. I felt a nudge at my shoulder but ignored it as I watched Harry get closer.

"Dray meet Scorpious." Harry grinned at me.

My heart was racing in my chest but it felt like I wasn't moving at all. I knew I was moving since the weight of my bags disappeared. I also saw my hands reaching towards Harry. It was almost like I wasn't in control of my own body. Harry let me take Scorpious from him and he was still smiling.

My full attention was now on the baby in my arms. It was almost like looking in a mirror. I mean if I was a baby again and my hair was a really dark raven. The most striking thing was that Scorpious had beautiful sparkling gray eyes. He didn't cry much or make a fuss as I held him. He grabbed at my shirt and smiled at me without a care in the world.

"Dude he's almost like a mini you." Blaise patted my shoulder.

I hadn't realized that in the time I spent examining Scorpious they had already packed the car. Ronald sat in the front and Granger sat behind him. I was suddenly curious about how we would all fit. Harry took Scorpious from me and went to strap him into the car seat I hadn't realized was there.

"How are we going to fit?" I finally asked.

"Ron will sit with Blaise. And I'm sitting on your lap." Harry shrugged. "Now get in already."

Harry and I sat by the opposite window and Hermione ended up in the middle. I couldn't stop myself from constantly looking over at Scorpious the entire drive. It was kind of strange actually being able to see and touch him. Harry entwined our fingers and kissed my hand drawing my attention.

He didn't say anything because he really didn't have to. The ride wasn't as long as I was expecting it to be. Before I knew what was really happening Scorpious was in my arms again and Harry was carrying a few bags. I wanted to help but Harry insisted that I just look after Scorpious.

*~*~*~*~*

It was strange to think that I had gotten used to this in a mere week. Every morning I'd be woken up in the same way. Scorpious would be bouncing around on my chest holding Harry's hand. Well more like Harry was holding him so he wouldn't fall off. The smile on Harry's face meant I couldn't even be annoyed with how he chose to wake me.

Most days Harry and I would take a walk around the area with Scorpious. Other days we'd just chill in the lounge. So many people in the house meant that there was always something you could find to do. It was so different from what I was used to and honestly I would have freaked out if it wasn't for Harry.

"Draco dear, what time will your parents arrive?" Mrs Weasley yelled from the kitchen.

"Father said they'd get here just after eleven." I responded as I walked into the kitchen to try and help.

"Oh no dear. You don't have to. Go and check on your son and Harry." Mrs Weasley ushered me out.

Her comment made me wonder what she knew about Harry. I made a mental note to ask later as I walked smack-bang into something. I fell back and it took me a moment to realize that I had walked into my father. I quickly scrambled to my feet and stepped away from him. I really didn't know what to expect.

"Father! I didn't think you were going to be here so soon."

"Draco it's 11." My father deadpanned.

My mother engulfed me in a hug and I showed them to the lounge to sit. I was about to ask if they wanted anything when something... Or rather someone almost knocked me over. I expected it to be Harry of course but I hadn't expected it to be Harry with ears and a tail. I was just glad I hadn't fallen again.

"Harry, I've told you about doing that. I could have fallen." I scolded him a little.

"Sorry Dray." He nuzzled my neck. "It's just..."

"So the two of you really are... A thing?" My father frowned.

Harry nodded his head before nudging me. I had to readjust his legs so that I wasn't holding him awkwardly. I ran my hand through his hair and he started to purr. A small smile was etched into my face at his reaction.

"I'm glad to see that you two made up. Draco was very worried about you Harry." My mother said with a smile.

"He's not really paying attention mom." I said as Harry purred and nuzzled my neck again. "Would you like anything to..."

"Harry! Mate Scorpious won't come out from under the bed." Ronald interrupted me and froze when he saw my parents. "Oh uhmmm H... Hi Mr and Mrs Malfoy."

Harry got off of me and left. I was secretly hoping my parents wouldn't ask about Scorpious. I just barely noticed Ronald mouth an apology before turning and leaving. My father raised an eyebrow and I was praying he wouldn't ask. Thank Merlin and Ronald for having a person like Mrs Weasley around.

Before anything more could be said she asked me to go find the others. Although it put off the explanation and news for a little while, I was still trying to prepare myself for their reactions. My father especially since I never knew what he was thinking.
