Our Way Back to You

𝘚𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯

Hermione was in the kitchen of Grimmaulds place trying to figure out a recipe she has been wanting to improve

"Scorp?!" She called out

Scorpius ran into the kitchen, his reading glasses riding down his nose

"What is it mummy?" He asked as he pushed them up again

Hermione sighed and pouted

"I can't get this right" she said

She helped Scorpius up on the counter and Hermione grabbed the spoon

She dunked it into the mixture and handed it to him

"What is it?" He asked her

"Lemon cake but I don't know, it tastes too sour for me" she told him

Scorpius licked the spoon and scrunched his nose slightly before humming in thought

A habit that she has done for years

"It needs a bit more sugar" he told her

"How much?" Hermione asked him

He licked the spoon again

"At least a teaspoon" he said "the lemon is sour"

She put in the sugar and mixed it

"The lemons here are different" she confirmed

She began working while Scorpius looked at her

"Mummy?" He asked cautiously

"What is it love?" She asked him

Scorpius wiggled his hands on his lips before bringing one thumb to his lips

Hermione stopped her movements and looked at him in confusion

"Scorpius...is everything alright?" She asked him

Scorpius looked down

"Who was that man? From yesterday?" He whispered

Hermione froze

"What man?" She asked

Although she already knew who he was asking about

"That man, the blond man? With the blue hair boy? He kept looking at you"

Hermione sighed and brushed his hair

"That's...Draco Malfoy" she whispered

"My...my daddy?" Scorpius asked

Hermione sniffed and nodded

"Yes" she told him

He looked at her

"Can I...can I meet him?" He asked softly

Hermione gripped the counter tighter before taking a calming breath

"You would like to meet him?" She asked

Scorpius nodded

"I still love you mummy, always" Scorpius quickly said, mistaking her silence for anger towards him

Hermione cupped his cheek

"I know my koala bear, I'm not angry" she assured him

She hugged him and exhaled shakily, she knew this day would come, when Scorpius wanted to meet his father, she only hoped that he would have been older and she would have finally moved on

She kissed his curls

"I'll contact grandma Cissy to see if she could arrange a meeting, will that be okay?" She asked
