FRED AND Y/N WERE WALKING BY THE LONDON BRIDGE. The ginger was busy stuffing his face with food called 'hotdog sandwiches', and as for the girl, she was lost in thought.

She stared at the water below them, thinking about the Malfoys. It'll be hard without them, even if she's only been with them for two days, she's grown attached to them

Specially Draco.

"these are good! What are they called again?"

At that, Y/N looked at Fred, "what?", she asked. The prince gestured to the almost finished sandwich in his hands, making the girl say a small "oh"

"yeah", Fred said, taking another bite

"they're called hotdog sandwiches", at that, the ginger's eyes widen, making Y/N realize why, "well, they aren't real dogs, they're just called.. Hotdogds"

The prince sighed in relief, "well, they're good.", he said, and finished the sandwich in one go. Once he swallowed them, he looked at Y/N, "so, ready to go?"

Y/N raised an eyebrow, "where?"

Fred laughed slightly, "home, of course. And once we're there, ww can get married. Atlast.", he said, smiling, but he noticed the girl didn't smile, instead, she looked away. Fred's smile faded, "aren't you happy?"

"no, of course, i am.", Y/N forced a smile, then looked away. She saw the palace. She remembered the ball.

Suddenly, an idea hit her. She smiled and looked at Fred

"what?", the prince asked, raising an eyebrow playfully

Biting her lip, Y/N said, "there's a ball tonight, and i was thinking.. Maybe we could go?"

Fred furrowed his eyebrows, but he sighed, "then we'll go home?"

Nodding slightly, Y/N said, "we'll go home right after."

Scorpius has his eyes closed as his fingers slide through the keys on the piano

He played a beautiful tune, it was a perfect symphony. But as it closed to the end, he tapped the wrong key, making him wince

The little Malfoy opened his eyes, and sighed

"you did wonderful"

At the familiar voice, Scorpius perked up, and looked behind him. His face lit up, "Y/N!", he exclaimed, standing up and running towards the laughing girl, "you're back!"

Y/N hugged the boy back, smiling.

Both pulled away, and the girl kneeled down, getting on Scorpius' level. She put her hands on his shoulders, "is your dad home?"

Scorpius shook his head, "grandma just dropped me off from my piano lessons, she said she couldn't stay with me because she was going to a place called Azkaban?", he thought for a moment, before nodding, "she seemed pretty happy. And dad's at work. Probably wont be home until five."

Y/N nodded, "well, then, i need your help.", at that, Scorpius tilted his head, "there's a ball tonight.. And i don't know what to wear"

The little boy smiled, "i know just what to do!"

Both Y/N and Scorpius walked, and walked. Entering from shop to shop. The girl already picked a dress to wear, because as the little boy said, "it matches daddy's eyes", and that was enough for her to buy it, with Draco's credit card, of course.

Somehow, Scorpius managed to convince Y/N that this was an emergency, since the credit card is for emergency purposes only, and well, now you know the rest.

After two hours of walking, it was four in the afternoon, and the girl and the little boy found themselves sitting outside an ice cream shop inside an open mall. They sat on a bench as they ate their ice creams, smiling at how the day went so well.

"is this what its like?", Scorpius suddenly said, making Y/N look at him. The little boy looked at her, and smiled sadly, "spending time with your mother?"

At that, the girl's heart melted. She put her ice cream cup down beside her, and faced Scorpius properly, "i.. I don't know. I have never spent time with my mother.", Y/N said, smiling sadly, "but i like it"

Scorpius smiled, "i like it too.", he said, and once again, looked infront of him.

In the middle of the open mall was a grand piano, and he badly want to try it out, but he didn't want people looking at him, because he might, and will most probably mess up.

Y/N, noticing the boy's gaze at the piano, smiled, "why don't you give it a try?"

Scorpius looked at the girl, "me? I- i don't know."

"come on, you're really good at it."

At that, the little Malfoy took one last glance at Y/N, and stood up, walking towards the empty grand piano. He sat down on the seat, and placed his fingers on the keys.

Soon, he closed his eyes, and started a piece. The one he's been trying to perfect.

Y/N couldn't help but smile. Scorpius is a very bright, and telented child. She would love for him to be her son, but he's not.

Scorpius continued playing the piece, and because his eyes were closed, he didn't notice the people circling around him to watch him play.

It neared the end, and Scorpius didn't care. He let his fingers glide through the keys carelessly, and when he passed the hard part, he smiled. He did it.

Ending the piece with a high note, he opened his eyes and saw the people around him. The people clapped, making him blush

"thank you", he mumbled, and stood up, running towards Y/N who had a big smile on her face, "i did it!", he exclaimed, hugging her

Y/N chuckled and kissed his head, "i knew you could."

An old woman, then, spoke from behind them, "your son is very talented, darling."

The girl, was supposed to deny, but she looked at Scorpius, and smiled, "he really is. I'm proud of him"

At that, Scorpius smiled. His heart warmed, hearing that from Y/N was so right. If only he was the one to decided, he wanted his father to marry her. Not Hermione.

The old woman smiled, and walked away, leaving Y/N and Scorpius together

Y/N stood up, offering a hand to the little boy, "let's go? We don't want your dad to get worried, now do we?"

Scorpius took her hand, and both started to walk towards the exits.

The young boy has never felt this happy. He just wished that Y/N would stay with them forever.

Of course, that couldn't happen.

Could it?
