Disbelief
Scorpius's was currently home for summer. He was searching for his parents old homework. After his father bragged about how smart he was and how he was one of the top students in his year, he thought that he could take them with him to Hogwarts, using them to his advantage.
But half a turn later he knocked down a old box. The box opened after it fell to the ground and covered half the floor with old pictures.
Cursing quietly he immediately kneels down to clean them up again.
But he couldn't believe his eyes.
On these moving pictures stood he himself. No... Not him... His father. Much younger than now. And that girl next to him.... That was his mum. Smiling and laughing while gently shoving his father away.
"Scorp?! Is everything alright?" Your voice broke his stunned state. You were coming closer within seconds. He hurried to clean up the pictures but your head was already looking through the door.
"Oh no! What happened? Are you hurt?"
"I'm sorry mum. I'm alright just a bit shocked."
"Here let me help you." You came towards him, kneeling down next to him.
"Mum?"
"Yes love?"
"Is that dad?"
Scorpius was showing you the picture he found before. You smiled foundly at it. Gently nodding.
"Yes. That's your father."
"And the girl next to him? Is that you?"
"Yes."
"Why are you shoving dad away?"
You grinned.
"He made a stupid flirting attempt."
"Really? I thought he was naturally a flirt with you."
You laughed.
"Yes now. But not always. Back then he was almost endearingly awkward with his lines."
"Do you have an example?"
"Hm... Do you see that picture?" You pointed at another one from third year, shortly after Draco took off his cast. Scorpius took a closer look.
"Your father said 'do you mind if I chase you? Because you are the one I seek.' actually that was one of his better flirts... But I laughed really hard at that one."
You went through several pictures and memories. Half an hour went by when Draco suddenly peeked into the room.
"Ah there you are."
He found you and scorpius cuddling together on the floor while looking through old pictures.
He came next to you hugging you from behind.
"What are you looking at?"
"Old pictures." You said with a warm smile.
"What? Why?"
"I accidentally knocked over a box full of them." Admitted Scorpius.
Draco turned to look at his son.
"Ah... Do you mind explaining what you were searching for up here?" He asked a bit suspicious.
"Um..." You also looked at him, also curious. You didn't want to ask since he seemed so flustered but since Draco already did that you felt the curiousity take over.
"Uh.... S.. something for school?" Scorpius asked rather than answer.
"Look at you scorp. Preparing yourself for school even in your holidays." You said proud.
But Draco wasn't exactly convinced it was just that.
"Scorp-"
Nervous Scorpius picked up the next picture and almost shoved it into his father's face.
"W-What are you doing here?!"
He hadn't looked at the picture at all.
So he was surprised when his father turned red and coughed uncomfortable.
Feeling intrigued you slightly pulled the picture away from Draco's face.
The second you saw it you laughed.
Now feeling relieved and curious what got you so amused, Scorpius actually looked at the picture. His face turned rather confused.
His father was first drinking something at something that was clearly a party, he looked smug but seconds later he tripped and landed on, what seemed to be, your lap.
Draco actually hid his face in your neck.
"Don't laugh love!"
"But you were so adorable."
"That was embarrassing!"
"No. It was endearing. And it certainly caught my attention."
Draco muttered into your ear.
"That was not how I imagined it would turn out that night."
You giggled.
"What is it mum? What did dad mutter?" Asked Scorpius excited.
"Did you know that was the very first time he had the courage to come to me? Before we only ever talked in classes or passed by in the hallway." You said while gently scratching Draco's scalp to calm him down again.
"Who caught in on camera?" Asked Scorpius even more thrilled.
"Your uncle Theo. He laughed so much that Uncle Blaise had to take over the camera."
"Was that the moment you fell in love?!"
You laughed. Draco grumbled.
"No. There were many more encounters like that until I believed that he was rather clumsy."
Scorpius had a bright smile on his face.
"Really?! Can you please tell me mum???"
"Well for example-" Draco covered your mouth with his hand.
"Shall I also take a route down your endearing moment's?!" Asked Draco with half a glare half a amused smile.
You licked his hand causing Draco to pull away surprised and disgusted. He cleaned his hand and before you could say anything he covered your mouth again.
"What are you? Five? Love this will not work a second time."
You giggled and kissed his hand this time.
"Much better but I don't think you understand how much I enjoy being kissed by you. No matter what body part it is."
"Ewww dad! That is disgusting." Scorpius scrunched up his face in disgust.
"What is disgusting about my love for your mother?!" Asked Draco rather calm.
Scorpius opened his mouth but before he could say anything, Draco asked him again what he was doing up here.
Clearly uncomfortable and nervous you took pity on your son and pretended to be tired, so you yawned and snuggled into Draco's side.
Your husband, always the charming and observant man that he was, gently took you into his arms, lifting you into the air and with a voice as soft as a flower said "Are you tired darling? Awww my love you sat here for hours telling old stories of our school days. Common I will bring you to bed. We can nap together."
As soon as you and Draco layed down you fell asleep.
He watched you with so much love that Scorpius almost felt bad for asking his next question. But almost wasn't enough to stop him.
"Dad?" He said quietly.
"Shhhh. Mum's asleep." Draco said while gently caressing your face.
"How did you manage to convince mum to go out with you? I mean... From what I can tell you are a total lost cause."
Draco clicked with his tounge and made a sound similar to 'tsk'.
"If I had talked to my father this way at your age I would have gotten-"
"Mhh? Darling?" You muttered while waking up halfway because of the bickering.
"Shhh my love. Just continue to sleep." He hushed you gently while holding you tighter to his chest.
Luckily for him you fell right back asleep.
"Scorpius.....if your mother wakes up from this conversation I'll confiscate your broom." Threatened Draco with a slight glare.
Scorpius put a hand over his mouth. Now slightly afraid that he could maybe actually lose his prized Nimbus 2001 that he got passed down from his father.
Apparently it was the first broom he played on while being Slytherin's seeker.
Pleased Draco snuggled closer to you while Scorpius stood awkwardly in the doorway.
Feeling the stare from his son, Draco opened one eye.
He sighed and carefully moved both of you further on his side so Scorpius could lay down next to you.
Something Draco both adored and despised, feeling a bit jealous of his own son and grumpy that he had to share you while feeling happy about his little family and sharing love with all of you.
Scorpius didn't waste another second and climbed into the bed next to you. Cuddling into you. You instinctively wrapped your arms around your son, much to Draco's frustration.
"Hand's off my wife!"
"Shhh dray. He just wants cuddles too." You said in a quiet voice while waking up.
"What about ME?! What about MY cuddles?!!" Draco said offended.
"Dad you get mum's cuddles all the time when I'm at school!" Said Scorpius annoyed.
Draco gasped dramatic.
"I do not!"
"Yes you do!"
"STOP! Both of you. I don't want to lay in-between two fighting children."
Now both gasped offended.
"I AM NOT A CHILD!" Said both of them offended and began to attack you with tickles.
Laughing within seconds you tried to shield yourself.
"STOP! Hahahahaahaha I surrender I surrender!"
"Say it!"
"Hahahaha NEVER!"
"Then we will never stop!" Chuckled Draco.
*SNAP* Draco and you turned around, forgetting the tickle 'fight' for a moment.
At the end of the bed stood Scorpius. In his hand a camera.
"Did you take a picture scorp?" Asked Draco puzzled.
"Yes." Scorpius gave the two of you a big grin.
"But why?"
"Because I noticed earlier that at some point there were only pictures of me left or family pictures. And none of the two of you alone. I thought it was quite sad that your love story in pictures ended at the picture of my birth."
Draco and you looked first at your son and then at eachother with wide eyes. But the moment your eyes met they softened.
It was true. In the beginning someone was always around to take pictures. And when there wasn't you took them yourselves, but when your precious boy was born, somewhere along the way you had forgotten to take some time to freeze love filled moments with the love of your life's.
Touched by the sweetness of your son you and Draco invited him back into bed. He layed down in-between the two of you and Draco and you kissed his cheek from both sides. Another *SNAP* was heard. Then Draco and Scorpius switched places and now Draco was the one getting kisses on the cheek.
After that Draco rolled over you causing you to playfully slap his shoulder to get him off of you. Complaining about how he was heavy. He just snickered and kissed your cheek. Scorpius did too and the *SNAP* could be heard a third time.
"Mum? Dad? I want us to continue taking pictures of such special and wonderful moments. I want to have a whole lot of memories for when I have kids. So I can show them how much their grandparents love eachother. And how much love this family has for all of us."
And in that very moment your heart melted. Draco wrapped his arms protective around the two of you.
He kissed your head and gently stroked his son's head.
"I promise, we will hold every precious picture and moment deep inside our hearts. And I will never stop loving either of you. Because you are my heart."
The end
An: I wanted to write more family moments that are sweet and lovely and then I remembered I can just do that.
So I will try to write more family oneshots.
(Ps. I know I'm taking much longer to post. As I said it's summer, my mind is better at writing in Autumn until spring đśâđŤď¸)
Well until next time (whenever that is.... Idk I have vacation soon and I don't think I will post at all then but we'll see...)(1872 words)
