Shopping (Part 1).
"But dad, how can I be a wizard if I can't see?" Kai asked his father, his voice soft and slightly whiney. Draco stopped what he was doing, dropped the plate and sponge calmly into the soapy water before he dried is hands and cupped sons pale face as the boy continued to speak, "I won't be able to do anything, I wont be able to cast spells, I won't be able to fly, I won't…"
"Kai, being a wizard is not all about casting flashy spells and flying. One of the greatest potion brewers of all time was blind just like you. And don't worry, potions is not as boring as it sounds, it was always one of my favourite lessons in school. There are other lessons too, History of Magic, Defence Against The Dark Arts although not the practical side of that so much, Divination when you reach year three, Ancient Runes and so many more that I didn't personally take. And do you know what? I bet you'll be the top of your classes," Draco said kindly, stroking the smooth cheeks with his thumbs. Kai smiled slightly, "There we go, there's that beautiful smile that'll have all the girls swooning for you. Now we need to get your shopping done today as it's the only day I could get off work so grab a towel and start drying those dishes mister."
"Yes Dad," Kai moved away and walked the familiar distance to the towel rack and then back to the sink.
"There's wet stuff on the drying rack but let me just take those sharp knives out," Draco said, reaching over he took out the two long knives, "All clear."
"Thanks dad," Kai said as he carefully picked up a cup. He remember the time he'd accidentally cut his hand on one of the sharp knives, it had been deep and needed six stitches in the A+E. His dad had been so worried, calling an ambulance because they didn't have a car, throwing the others into next doors care with a little hurried explanation. Kai assumed there must have been a lot of blood. Draco had never made the mistake of leaving the knives out again.
"Daddy?" Draco's only daughter asked as she entered the flats little kitchen, "Can you put my hair in two plaints today? I want to look pretty when we go out."
"You always look pretty sweetheart but of course I'll do your hair for you. How about you go and pick out what ribbons you'd like in it?" Draco asked and Elly nodded, all but skipping out of the room. Her hair was just like Draco's and Kai's and hung in ways almost exactly the same way that his mothers had. Her pretty little face with rosy lips however was nothing like any of the Malfoy families, Draco supposed she must take after her other father but sadly Draco could not remember what his drunken one night stand had looked like. "She needs her hair cut," Draco commented as he returned to scrubbing at a pasta tray which had held their dinner last night, "It's far too long for summer weather like that."
"I need my hair cut too dad before I go to school," Kai said quietly, still drying the white plate in his hands. Draco looked at his eldest and noticed immediately that Kai was right, the platinum locks were almost touching his collar at the back and his fringe was past his ears, hanging like curtains for his glassy eyes.
"Yes it does doesn't it," he said at last, "And I have a feeling that Jamie and Kian need a haircut too. I'll have to get you all appointments won't I?"
"Thanks dad," Kai smiled in Draco's direction. The washing up from dinner and this mornings breakfast was soon done, the things returned neatly to their rightful places in the kitchen. Draco walked into the living room of the flat and found his daughter waiting for him with a hairbrush and ribbons, his younger sons watching some cartoon on the TV closely.
"Right everybody coats on, Jamie help Kian," Draco ordered as Kai entered the room. Elly handed the brush to her father when he reached for it and turned around to face away, "Jamie turn the TV off and get yours and Kians coats." His second son grumbled but obeyed, switching off the battered TV set and went to the hooks to get the coats. Draco quickly and efficiently braided his daughters hair, securing it with the baby pink ribbons easily. "Everybody ready? Right, lets go catch the bus. We don't want to miss the bus."
"Can you get a bus to magical London?" Elly asked, looking up at him.
"Not a normal bus, no," Draco said with a smile, herding them out into the shabby corridor and locking the door behind them, "But a magical bus will get us there don't you think?" Jamie's face lit up,
"Cool!"
Kai, Jamie and Elly loved their ride on the Knight Bus, squealing with delight as they clung to the beds posts as the bed on which they sat swung around madly underneath the large chandelier. Of course Jamie and Elly had to describe everything to Kai but that did nothing to dull their own enjoyment. Kian however didn't like it at all and clung to his daddy tightly, screaming into Draco's shoulder the whole way despite how much Draco tried to calm him.
"Leaky Cauldron!" the conductor called out once the bus had screeched to a sudden halt which sent Elly and Jamie tumbling off the bed and onto the floor in giggles. Kai had been holding onto the bed post to tightly to join them.
"Ok everybody, let's go, off we get," Draco said as he stood calmly, struggling to hold Kian in his arms, at four it wasn't exactly easy for him with his thin arms. Kian was a healthily sized boy after all, "Jamie help Kai, the beds have moved since we got on."
"We know! It was fun!" Jamie giggled, taking Kai's hand he hurried off the Triple Decker purple bus, a little faster than Kai would have liked meaning he almost tripped a couple of times. Of course he didn't comment, ruffling Jamie's feathers when he was in such a good mood would not be a good idea. Jamie sulked enough as it was and Kai wanted to enjoy his shopping day.
"Are we going in a pub?" Elly asked with a frown, her hand clutching Draco's shirt as she looked at the dirty old pub before them.
"We're going through the pub," Draco explained, "Not in it, through it."
"Why?" Kian asked, resting his head on Draco's shoulder, his little thumb making it's way to his mouth.
"The entrance to Diagon Alley is on the other side of it so that only witches and wizards can get to it, or of course muggles with magical children but they have to be shown the way," Draco explained.
"Will we have to ask the way?" Elly asked.
"No I've been here many times before," Draco answered sadly, "Stay close behind me as we go through, Kai hold onto my shoulder if you would. I don't want anything to happen to any of you." He hurried them through the busy pub, keeping his head down as whispers began. People had instantly recognised him for who he was.
"It's a wall," Jamie said loudly, "The magical shopping place is a brick wall? That's not very cool." Draco chuckled softly,
"Watch." That was all he said before he set Kian down on the floor gently and tapped his long unused wand and lightly tapped the correct brocks to activate the spell and open the archway.
"Watch wha-" the bricks suddenly starting to move interrupted Jamie's question, "Wow! That's cool!"
"What's going on?" Kai asked, thoroughly confused.
"The walls moving, the bricks…it's like they're alive. It's making an…arch," Elly answered quietly, barely heard over the sudden noise of the shopping alley with all its sellers and shoppers, "It's wonderful!"
"I wish I could see it," Kai said quietly. Draco pulled his eldest son to his side, gently kissing the top of his fair head, "I'm ok. Let's go shopping."
"Can I get something?" Kian asked, taking his dads hand with both his own he held on tightly, looking wide eyed at the strangely dressed people before him.
"You can all get something if you behave," Draco said softly, "Now it's very busy so Kai, you take my other hand. Elly, Jamie, I hope I can trust you to stay close and not wander off." Kai obeyed, taking his dad's hand in a familiar grip as Elly nodded. "Jamie?"
"I won't wander off," he was staring wide eyed at some of the magical things he was seeing like a witch floating their shopping along in front of her and her daughter, "Promise."
"Good, now first stop is the bank to exchange pounds for Galleons."
"What are Galleons?" Elly asked as they set off. Draco sighed, knowing he would now have to explain everything about wizarding currency to his inquisitive children. It would probably take him the whole walk to the bank to do so. So bracing himself for many questions he began,
"Galleons are part of the wizarding currency…
