Uncovering the past
Severus sighed when his grandson left his office without Albus. He had stayed away from the Harry's kids because he could not forget what happened with Draco. He visited them on Christmas and New Year but other than that he stayed away from them. One was his godson and the other was Lily's child whom he had protected his whole life.
It had not been a hard choice at the end considering the way Harry had behaved. He had been unjust, and immature. He had been cruel and completely inconsiderate of Draco's feelings.
Had Lily and James Potter been alive, things would have turned differently. Harry would not have been so insecure about losing people he loved; he won't have lost everything at the end even after trying so hard to keep everything together.
"Uncle Severus." Scorpius's soft voice brought him out of his musings.
"Scorpius, why is Mr. Potter still in my office?" Severus asked in a soft tone. He had always been soft with Scorpius. Scorpius had been a very difficult child. Lucius had changed himself so much to provide Scorpius an open and a loving environment. After the... incident, Lucius had left the Malfoy mask behind. It had been years since Severus had seen the infamous Malfoy mask on Lucius's face. Malfoy manor was not what it used to be. It was beautiful and full of windows. Lucius had wanted to raise Scorpius the way he couldn't raise Draco, the way Draco himself would have liked to raise Scorpius, had he been present with them. He had married Lucius immediately after the defeat of the Dark Lord. It had been a quiet ceremony and no-one except a few people were invited.
They had been exceptionally careful with Scorpius and initially avoided discussing Draco with the child. Eventually, Scorpius had grown up and had become persistent.
Where is my father?
Why is he not with us?
I want to see him, grandfather.
They had not had the heart to tell the child that Draco was... He couldn't even bear to think about what had happened. Ultimately, they had decided to let Scorpius know the whole truth. Scorpius had become very quiet when he had realized and become increasingly introvert. They were still struggling to pursuade the child to share his sorrows with them and then the fact that Albus Severus Potter was a veela and Scorpius's mate had turned everyone's life upside down. He did not want the history to repeat itself but everything depended on Scorpius. He could just wish that the child will not behave the way Harry had.
"I want you to tell everything to him... the way you told me." Scorpius got straight to the point and Severus was dumbstruck when he heard Scorpius. The child's face was sad and Severus thought maybe everything was not lost yet.
"Are you sure?" Severus asked blankly.
"Yes, I am sure. He wants to know the reason I despise his family and I want him to know."
Severus sighed and asked just when Scorpius turned away "Will you reject him because of what his father did?"
Scorpius stopped walking and kept his head bowed "What do you want?"
"I don't want the history to repeat itself Scorpius. What I want has never mattered, though-" He said sharply and Scorpius cut him off softly "It matters to me. It always has. What would grandfather want?"
"He won't want anyone to suffer what Draco did."
"Even if it is Potter's child who is suffering."
"Even then."
Scorpius just nodded and left him standing in front of his office.
Severus entered the office and found Albus sitting quietly in a chair in front of his table, looking forlorn.
"Mr. Potter."
"Headmaster." Albus spoke when Severus reached his table and stood across from Albus.
"Its past curfew Mr. Potter and you must leave for your dorms now." Severus spoke sternly, like he always did and Albus looked at him thoughtfully like he always had.
"Scorpius said that he wants me to know everything."
Severus sighed and nodded "All right, Mr. Potter, please wait for a moment."
He left for his personal quarters where he had kept the journals safe. He brought the journals with him and addressed Albus directly "These two journals belong to Draco and your father. I am merging them so that you don't have to read them separately. You will know everything once you have read it."
Albus looked at him in surprise "Draco, as in Draco Malfoy. What does he have to do with everything? I have rarely ever heard about him."
"Well, you will know once you have read this." Severus replied in a deadpanned voice and made copies of both the journals and merged the copies subsequently.
After handing the blue journal over to Albus, he secured the originals of the two journals and commanded in a sharp voice "Now, leave Mr. Potter. It's beyond curfew and I won't think twice before giving you a detention."
"Thank you headmaster. Good night." Albus replied respectfully and Severus did not say anything in reply.
After locking the journals back in the safe, he sat on his table, his head in his head. He wondered where all this will lead. He wished it won't just go down the drain like it had with Draco.

Albus stared at the innocent looking journal. It was blue in colour and its cover was bare. Albus opened it. The first page read May 10, 1999. Seventeen years ago which meant his father was eighteen years ago. His eyes widened when he remembered that the Dark Lord had been vanquished in 1999.
He had to get up early in the morning but he was so excited to read it that he could not wait a minute longer, let alone a complete night.

May 10, 1999
I am writing this journal because I have no-one to share my thoughts with and sometimes I feel lonely and pathetic. I came into my veela inheritance a couple of months back when the Dark Lord was still alive. My godfather has been giving me a Veela Repressant potion. The potion kept everyone at bay. It helped me to keep my appearance unchanged and I am glad because the Dark Lord would have eaten me alive otherwise. A month has passed since the snake lord was vanquished by Potter. A month since I realised that the said Harry Potter, the bloody saviour of the Britain Wizarding World is my mate. The fate has played -

Albus stared at the words. Draco Malfoy was a veela and his father was his mate. He couldn't believe his eyes. He wondered what everyone meant by the history repeating itself. What exactly had happened and where was Draco Malfoy. He continued reading...
