"everything he needs." (DM) part 1

"darling, i've got to run to gringotts. just take the kids wherever, no need to wait"

you nodded and smiled to your two children, shaking their interlinked hands on each of your side to get them somewhat excited. they grinned back and jumped, giggling to eachother about whatever adventure they'd be going on. you looked back to your husband, "is ten minutes alright?"

draco smiled lovingly at his family, a subconscious moment of appreciation for everything he cared about right infront of him. "that's plenty. have fun you three,"

he gave one last glance at them before they wondered off through the crowd of diagon alley, a graceful mother with two aristocratic, charming children. scorpius was seven in a few weeks, and their daughter lyra had only just turned four.

draco couldn't help but thank the universe silently whenever they were all together, and he felt some sort of homesickness whenever they were separated - such as now, despite it only being a ten minute departure.

he'd had business with work, a large sum of money coming to possession of him due to post-succession of a complex project, and it required official signatures, authenticating of cheques, etc. all the fun stuff that came with being an adult.

the goblin grumbled something along the lines of a farewell and thanks for coming before draco turned from the counter, scanning through the last few documents in his hand. it happened so fast that he hardly realised what had hit him - literally. a woman had stumbled right into him, making a sound of surprise and apologising profusely.

"not a problem, don't worry about it." he hardly looked up, trying to remember where he was up to reading before the woman's voice interrupted.

"draco? draco malfoy?" his head slowly tilted up from the files, barely acknowledging her for the first time since their bump in. there was some recognition there in her face, but not enough to spark a name.

"my apologies, i don't think i - "

"it's astoria greengrass, from hogwarts! daphne's sister? girlfriend of two years? come on, draco!" her features lit up at the sight of him, clearly happy to meet a familiar face and one that she had a thing for at that.

his memory briefly flashed by and he vaguely recollected an astoria from sixth year to the year after school finished.

they'd dated, it was true. an arranged relationship due to their parents that was broke off few months after he met you, that soul connection that the two of you had was just too good to sabotage. so, naturally, he'd broken off any contact with her.

it seemed she took it roughly, with the way that she'd cried and sobbed and wrote letter after letter, but she'd gathered her dignity after all these years and seemed over him, which came as a relief for draco.

he nodded politely, "my mistake. are you well?"

as she was replying, he nudged her to the side of the main room of gringotts, stepping them aside so that they weren't in the way of other customers. "i am, actually. and you?"

his lips tightened as he fought off the want to grin and just boast all about his current family, but instead nodded again. she kept smiling, "you look good, too. you seem to have a certain glow about you now."

"life's treating me well, i suppose."

astoria giggled as if he told a joke, holding her hand up to her mouth in an act to stifle it. draco couldn't help but think it looked much better when you did it, and even more so when you would laugh obnoxiously and shamelessly at something he'd said.
