Author's note: Only one exam left to study *sighs*
Thanks to the following reviewers: unneeded (huh, I hadn't thought of that job option - would have been interesting too); Madamdragon; smorgesboard; Claudia; SP777 (nope, I don't like that pairing at all; it makes it seem as if Harry has an Oedipus complex. Hermione or Luna would have been better: Hermione because of their close bond and Luna because they look cute together); bcjink
I hope you'll like this chapter as well :) Also just to be sure: no offence meant to kids who have troubles with a short attention span - I don't mean to insult anyone with this fic.
Chapter 19
Black eyes stared at a bouncing and twitching Scorpius. The eyes then turned to Teddy who was looking slightly amused at the blond boy.
"Scorpius Malfoy, what on earth are you doing? Sit still, you look like an idiot." Snape glared.
Teddy bit on his lip to keep his chuckle inside. He thought he had an idea of what was happening with the blond boy. The brat had probably eaten a lot of his candy which gave him a sugar rush. He wondered how much Scorpius had eaten of his candy, but decided he didn't want to know; it must have been a lot to have the boy twitching and bouncing this much.
"I'm sorry, uncle Sev. I don't know what's wrong; I can't sit still." Scorpius pouted and his hands tapped the desk.
Dark eyes narrowed when a memory of a younger Draco entered his mind, looking exactly like this. "Scorpius, did you eat, by any chance, candy?"
Scorpius bit on his lip, but nodded. He hadn't wanted to eat so much, but once he had started, it had tasted so good and he had just kept going … He had only a fourth left of the original amount. "Sorry, uncle Sev."
Snape sighed and pinched his nose, trying to keep his anger in check. It wouldn't do to get angry at the boy; like every child he couldn't resist the call of candy and had probably eaten a large amount. Besides it was in his blood; his father had a severe sweet tooth too.
"I can't fathom why your father would let you eat so much sugar when he knows what it does with you." He said annoyed.
Scorpius bit on his lip and lowered his eyes; his legs now bouncing up and down.
Snape narrowed his eyes. "Does your father know that you ate that much sugar, Scorpius?"
"Maybe." The boy answered meekly.
Snape gritted his teeth and reminded himself that cursing six year old boys was not a good idea. No matter how tempting the thought sounded.
"Why didn't you stop him before he consumed that much sugar?" He snapped at Teddy.
Teddy raised his hands in defeat. "How was I supposed to know he would eat that much candy? It's not like we sleep in the same room." He answered innocently.
A black eye twitched. "You remind me too much of your father." He growled.
Teddy looked confused. "My real father or Prongslet?"
"Both." Snape replied through gritted teeth.
Teddy beamed as if it was a compliment.
"That was not a compliment, insolent brat." Snape growled.
Teddy shrugged; a daring move. Of course, that was to be suspected of the son of a Marauder and the godson of a Marauder's son. Only someone with Gryffindor blood in their veins or family of a Marauder would ever dare to shrug when Snape said something.
It took all of Snape's patience not to strangle the boy. He quickly took several deep breaths and his hands gripped the table, leaving marks behind. "Because Scorpius decided it was prudent to consume a massive amount of sugar, I suspect it would be wise if we spend this day in the gardens, studying the various plants that are used for potions." He announced through clenched teeth.
Teddy, finally realizing that it was a smart idea to keep a low profile, just nodded and grabbed his bag. "Yes, sir."
"Okay, uncle Sev." Scorpius nodded and jumped of his chair, still twitching and bouncing.
"Follow me."
Draco raised an eyebrow and lowered his cup of coffee when he noticed his twitching and bouncing son in the gardens. Severus was standing near a plant that was used for healing potions and Teddy was listening intently.
Why was his son bouncing?
When the two boys were left alone for five minutes, Draco made his way into the gardens, approaching his godfather.
"Severus, why is my son twitching and bouncing like a kid with a low attention span?" He asked nonchalantly.
Severus glowered. "Your son decided it was prudent to consume a large amount of that disgusting substance people dare to call candy."
Draco blinked. "So he's on a sugar rush." He confirmed drily. He shook his head. "I wonder when he ate that candy. I never saw him eat it this morning."
The older man stared at him and snorted. "Following the footsteps of his father, he has probably hidden his stash in his room."
Draco grinned. "He's a smart child, isn't he?" He ducked quickly out of the way when Severus made a move to slap his head. "Well, I will leave you to your lesson again." He chuckled and made his way back to the manor. He decided to start on the documents that were waiting for him in his study. He grimaced; he really wasn't looking forward to that.
With slight wariness, Harry looked through the Daily Prophet. Yes, he was looking for job offers, but he also wanted to check that the newspaper hadn't received any news of his relationship with Draco. He really wasn't ready to deal with the kind of shit the newspaper would print about him and Draco.
If he was honest, he had suspected that Ginny would have ratted him out to the papers considering she had been furious last night. And what better revenge than publishing his new relationship – a relationship with a man, Draco Malfoy no less – and enjoying the havoc it would cause? But nothing was published and Harry was confused. Did this mean that Ginny wasn't that upset? He didn't know.
Harry sighed and rubbed his eyes. He took a sip of his tea and his eyes trailed over the page of the job offers. He wanted to find a job where he could help people, like he had done when he was an Auror. Helping people was something he was good at, something that was almost second nature to him.
He was tempted to call it a day when he found something interesting. He sat up straight in his chair and attentively read the advertisement. This was interesting. It fitted his one demand of helping people. That and he wouldn't bring himself into danger, something he thought Draco and the boys would appreciate.
He carefully ripped the advertisement out of the newspaper and put it away in one of his desk drawers. He would think about it more, but there was a high chance he had found his new job – after he had finished the studies of course.
Harry smiled and stretched. No news about his relationship and maybe he had found a new job. It started out to be a good day.
A loud crash downstairs interrupted his thoughts.
Harry sighed and decided to check what had happened.
He was met with the sight of a broken vase, a table broken in pieces and a trembling Scorpius who looked on the verge of sobbing.
Snape was almost ripping his hair out while his face was turning red from rage. "What on earth were you thinking, you insolent stupid brat? What could have possibly run through your head when you decided to do that?" He snapped.
"I – I'm sorry, un – uncle Sev." Scorpius whimpered and big tears were running over his cheeks.
"Hey, hey, what happened here?" Harry asked and walked to Scorpius. He bent down and pulled Scorpius' head up to look in his eyes. "Can you tell me what happened, Scorpius?"
The little blond boy brought his hands up to his face and hid behind them, shaking his head.
"Sir, why don't you go? I'll clean up here." Harry suggested. Maybe Scorpius would be willing to tell him what had happened if Snape was out of sight.
Snape sneered. "Fine with me." He turned to go, but was stopped again.
"Euhm, could you tell me where Teddy is?"
"Probably up in his room." With that, the man disappeared behind the corner.
Harry frowned, but took his wand and with a muttered "Reparo" the vase and the table were fixed.
Meanwhile Scorpius was still sobbing, his small body trembling with the force of his sobs.
Harry sighed and picked him up, the two little legs closing around his waist. Scorpius buried his face in Harry's neck and Harry shivered a bit when he felt the tears dropping on his skin.
He walked to the living room and settled himself on the couch, Scorpius still clinging to him.
"Hey, sweetie, what happened?" He asked softly and began to rub Scorpius' back.
Scorpius shook his head. "No, you'll be mad." He whimpered.
"I won't be mad, I promise." Harry cooed.
Scorpius clutched to Harry by gripping his shirt tightly and replied, "Un – uncle Sev said that – that the lesson was over to – today and I – I went to my bed – bedroom to play wi – with some toys. I – I thought it'd be fun if I played with uncle George's toys, but when I played with them, there was – was a loud boom and – and the vase and table broke. I didn't mean to." He cried.
"Hush, sweetie, I know you didn't mean to break those things. You couldn't have known what uncle George's toys would do." Harry soothed him.
"Bu – but uncle Sev is mad at me."
"I'm sure he will forgive you." Harry murmured. "Hush now, come on. Nobody is angry with you." He began to rock Scorpius.
Slowly, the sobs stopped and after a while even the sniveling ceased. Harry only stopped the rocking movement when he felt the even breath of Scorpius against his neck. When he looked down, he saw that the boy had cried himself to sleep.
Carefully he stood up and tightened his grip on Scorpius, to avoid him falling.
When he reached the staircase, he was stopped by Draco.
"Harry, do you know why Severus was so furious he decided to Apparate straight through the wards?" He asked and crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you hear the crash?" Harry asked surprised.
Draco shook his head. "No, I was in my study, looking through some documents."
Harry stared. "You work?" He asked surprised.
Grey eyes narrowed and he huffed. "Yes, I work. What did you think I did all day?"
"Reading, spending time with your son … I don't know. It's just that I thought you were too rich to need to work." Harry shrugged as well as he could with a sleeping boy in his arms.
"You're rich too, but you work too, don't you?" Draco asked and rolled his eyes. "You didn't answer my question: why was Severus so furious?"
Harry sighed and shifted Scorpius a bit. "Scorpius decided to play with some toys of George, but he didn't know what it would do. Apparently it caused an explosion, which broke the table and the vase – I repaired them." He added when he saw the other man looking towards the mentioned furniture. "Snape didn't see the humor of exploding things and decided it was smart to get angry at a six year old boy." He rolled his eyes. "Scorpius was completely freaked out. Really, that man should learn to behave himself. What was he thinking, blowing up at a child like that?" He muttered and shook his head.
Draco just looked at him amused; Harry was reminding him of a concerned mother, but he decided not to tell him that. He didn't think Harry would appreciate being compared to a woman.
"Anyway, Scorpius fell asleep, so I'm going to bring him to his room." He explained.
"All right. Did you find anything in the newspaper?" Draco asked curiously.
"Maybe, I'm not sure." Harry replied hesitatingly and then made his way up to Scorpius' bedroom.
Draco looked confused, but shrugged. He would hear it when Harry finally had decided on a job.
The red haired woman bit on her lower lip while looking at a picture. A finger stroked over the black haired green eyed man in the picture and a soft tender smile appeared on the woman's face.
Ginny sighed and stared out of the window of her apartment in London. She missed Harry terribly. After she realized how stupid she had been to let Harry slip out of her hands like that, she could have smacked herself. She had had everything: she was pretty, smart and she had been the girlfriend of the Harry Potter. Harry was the perfect man: smart, gentle, handsome, strong, sexy and he was rich. Every girl had been jealous of her. And she had fucked it up by sleeping around. Honestly, why she had done that, she still didn't know. It wasn't as if Harry wasn't satisfying in bed …
Ginny shook her head. It was all in the past now; nothing she could do about that. Instead of wasting her energy on guessing why she had been so stupid to sleep around, she could direct her energy better at finding a way to win Harry back.
She narrowed her eyes when she thought of the complication: Draco Malfoy. How on earth he had managed to snatch her Harry, she still didn't know. Maybe he had cursed Harry or used a love potion. It didn't matter, she would get Harry back. It would take some time, but she could be patient if she wanted to be.
That's why she hadn't alerted the press to Harry's new relationship. If she wanted to make amends with Harry and have a chance with him, it was better to not anger him and if the newspaper was warned about his relationship, he would immediately know who had warned the press. She wasn't about to risk her chance with him. Although she wondered why Harry hadn't gone public with Malfoy if he was so sure of his relationship; after all, he hadn't cared when the press found out about his relationship with Ginny.
Ginny smirked; maybe this was something she could use to her advantage. As long as Harry didn't tell the world about him being Malfoy's lover, she still stood a chance. It was all a matter of planning now.
She would need a plan to take Harry away from Draco and she would need a plan to deal with those brats. She glowered when she was reminded of Teddy Lupin. She couldn't stand the boy and she was sure the feeling was mutual. She had never met a child who was as clingy as Teddy was with Harry. Whatever Teddy wanted, Teddy got because he had Harry wrapped around his finger. Well, that wouldn't do. That boy would need to learn that he wasn't the most important person in Harry's life. But before she could do that, she would need to make amends with Harry.
She nodded thoughtfully and took a piece of parchment. She would start her plan with writing a letter. A gleeful smile appeared on her face when she began to write.
She would show Malfoy who was the most suited partner for Harry.
