And it's on to the next thing on the list. It's time for Scorpius's wealth to come into play again. This chapter will be in Draco's POV, since I have yet to do one just for him.
So sit back and enjoy.
Love always,

Draco stood in the second floor dinning room, staring out of the large picture windows. Scorpius had sent him an owl stating to wait for him and Lily to apparate in. He smiled, recalling the amount of enthusiasm his son had expressed in the letter.
You'd think the Potter girl was going to live forever.
He had wrote back, making Scorpius promise to let Lily see her family while she was in the country. He could still see a very broken Potter in his mind, and figured the poor man deserved to see his dying daughter.
"Draco?" He turned to see his wife, Astoria, step into the room. His smile grew, and he held out his arms as she neared. "I've never seen you in this room willingly." He pulled her into a hug.
"One too many bad memories," he answered. "Scorpius told me to wait for them here."
"Oh, dear, I wasn't expecting them back or some time," she exclaimed. "Oh, I gotta go fix dinner! The poor babies are probably starving!" Draco couldn't contain his laughter.
"Astoria, they've been gone for three months now," he chuckled. "I'm sure they've eaten just fine." She sighed and rested her head against his chest.
"You're probably right," she murmured. "I just miss him." He kissed the top of her head.
"I know, love," he whispered. "I know."
Just then the familiar crack echoed through the room, and the couple turned to see their son, his arms wrapped around the red-headed girl. Her eyes met Draco's, and he couldn't deny that she was definitely the product of Potter and the Weaslette.
Green. Just like her father's.
"Good evening, Mr. Malfoy," she greeted. He nodded in response and smiled. He might not get along with her father, but he couldn't hold anything against her.
"Good evening, Lily, Scorpius," he greeted. "How have your travels been?" He let go of Astoria and faced his son.
"They've been great, Father," Scorpius answered. "Interesting, to say the least." Draco glanced at his wife, who was steadily chatting with Lily.
"How about we go to the study and talk," he suggested. "It seems as though your mother has taken a liking to your companion." He began walking, shadowed by the younger man. He strode into his study and took a seat, while Scorpius closed the door. "Tell me everything, son."
"First was the amusement park," Scorpius began. "I do not want to go to another one ever again for as long as I live. Then, there was the beach house. The day we arrived, I suggested we swim..." Draco stared at his son, waiting for him to continue. He wasn't expecting to see terror in the silvery orbs.
"She can't swim. She almost drowned right there, all because she didn't want me to worry about her." Draco's jaw hung for a moment.
"So she agreed to swim even though she can't," he questioned. Scorpius nodded. "Merlin, Scorp, how did she survive?" The younger man chuckled.
"I dove in after her just before the heart attack started," he replied. Draco breathed a sigh of relief. The youngest Malfoy was going to have his hands full.
"Continue."
"Then there was the light house. I thought it would be simple since it seemed that some of the towers in Hogwarts are taller than it was. Of course, I was wrong, and had to be coaxed onto the metal landing by Lily. After that, I had to coax her back into the water to swim with dolphins after she kissed me." Draco held up his hand.
"She kissed you?" Scorpius nodded. "Did you return said kiss?"
"No. I was too stunned, Dad." He nodded.
"I don't blame you. Continue."
"Once I pulled her to her feet after the 'swim' with the dolphins, we turned to see the most beautiful sunset. I wish you and Mum could have seen it. It was so perfect." Draco chuckled. "And she ruined it by insisting on flying on a damn airplane to Africa. Which got me so nervous I blurted out everything I was thinking." The older man smirked.
"So you confessed your feelings cause you were scared," he teased. Scorpius shot him a glare.
"Yes, but I wasn't scared of flying, or what would happened if the plane crashed," he explained. "I was scared that I wouldn't get the chance to tell her."
"And how did she react?"
"Turns out she feels the same way. Has for a while now." Draco nodded. "The safari was pretty good, until we watched a pack of lionesses take down a wounded zebra. Lils coul-"
"Wait. What did you just call her?" Scorpius grinned sheepishly.
"Lils. It's kinda my little nickname for her." Draco closed his eyes and chuckled. His chuckle soon turned into full-on laughter. "Come on, Dad! I've heard you call Mum by your nickname for her!"
"I know! It's just odd hearing you use a nickname!"
"Anyway," the younger blond piped up. "Lily couldn't help but see her as the zebra, therefore killing it for herself." Draco smiled.
"So what's next on her list?" Their gazes met.
"Ride a horse," Scorpius answered. "I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I let her ride my horse and I ride Pardon?"
"I don't mind one bit," Draco replied. "Where will she stay?"
"With her family in Godric's Hollow."
"Good. Her family deserves to know that she's okay." Scorpius smiled.
"You've grown fond of her."
"Only cause you are, son. She's a nice girl, and quite beautiful, I must say."
"Only the finest."
