It was his fourth birthday that day. His mother had forgotten and instead she had already made plans to go out with her friends to Italy for a shopping spree.

 

“I’m sorry, dear, but I won’t be back today, okay?”

 

“B-b-but it’s my birthday today! I’m turning four!” For his age, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy was a tremendously intelligent.

 

“I’m sorry, Scorpius. There is just nothing I can do.” She had replied coolly and Apparated out.

 

Scorpius had run into his father’s study at once. To him, there was no one who loved him more than his father. His father was his hero.

 

“Father, mother is not staying tonight?”

 

Draco heaved a sigh. Trust Astoria to break Scorpius’ heart like this. “It’s alright Scorpius. We’re going to have lots of fun tonight. Just the two of us, no one else. Okay?”

 

“B-b-but...” Scorpius looked like he was having a hard time trying to stop himself from crying.

 

“How ‘bout this: I’ll go and get you a surprise guest. You’ll like her more than your mother. She’ll get you a great present, okay?”

 

Scorpius frowned, “Who?”

 

“If I tell you, you have to promise that you wouldn’t tell your mother, okay?”

 

“It’s like a secret, then?”

 

“Yes, no one else can know, okay Scorpius?”

 

Scorpius just nodded tearfully.

 

 

“Master Malfoy, sir, bushy-haired mistress is here, sir.” Gatsby the house elf announced.

 

Scorpius watched in astonishment as his father’s eyes lit up and a smile crept up his face, “Send her in.”

 

Then the lady, Miss Bushy-Hair, walked in. She was immediately engulfed into a warm hug by his father. “Draco! Your son is here!”

 

“Scorpius, this is Hermione. She’s your surprise guest.”

 

“Miss Herminee, no, no, no... Miss Hermion... No. Father, I can’t pronounce her name!”

 

To his utmost surprise, Draco actually burst into laughter! And Miss Bushy-Hair was glaring at Draco but with her lips twitched upwards.

 

Scorpius just looked confused, “Can I just call you Miss Bushy-Hair?”

 

Draco laughed again. Hermione rolled her eyes at him and knelt down in from of Scorpius, “Her-my-oh-knee, Scorpius.”

 

“Hermione. Miss Hermione. I did it!”

 

“Yes you did. Now do you want your present? How old are you turning today, Scorpius?”

 

Scorpius nodded his head excitedly and held up four fingers. Hermione and Draco exchange a smile and she held out a package, neatly wrapped in shiny green wrapping paper, for him.

 

Scorpius didn’t just tear the wrapper out like Harry’s eldest son, James, would do. He stared at it in awe for a moment before looking up at her again, “Thank you. Mother never gave me presents. It’s always father and grandmother. You are the first person besides them to give me one.”

 

Hermione gaped in horror at Draco. He winced.

 

“From now on, I’ll give you a birthday present every year, I promise.”

 

 

Scorpius was now in his seventh year. It was his birthday again.

 

Like usual, his father sent him his present (a Sky Sweeper, newest broom in the market) early, his grandmother sent him treats from Honeydukes. He was still waiting for another more significant present, though.

 

One late owl came in from the rooftop and landed in front of Scorpius. There was a parcel. And it was wrapped in shiny green wrapping paper.

 

He opened it immediately and a grin graced his features.

 

It was the same stuffed scorpion (which he had named Mr. Scorpy) that she had given him for his fourth birthday. The one that he still kept until now.

 

It was signed Miss Bushy-Hair.
