Security Check
“Name?”
“Draco.”
“Full name.” Where did he learn such a condescending drawl?
Sighs “Draco Lucius Malfoy.”
“Age?”
Ugh…. “38.”
“Are you sure?”
Honestly? Is that a compliment or an insult?
“….Yes, I’m quite sure.”
“Occupation?”
“Financial advisor.” Thin red eyebrows scrunch in obvious confusion but quickly smooth airily.
“Um, favourite colour?”
What even – “Green.”
A sneer matched with a disdainful sniff, “Pfft, Slytherin nerd –”
“– Don’t be rude, James!” Green eyes glittered softly behind black framed glasses.
“Huh, whatever.”
“Any way, do you like kneazles?” Small freckled fingers with purple nails tap impatiently on the hardwood table.
“Nope.”
Tapping stops with a haughtily raised chin, “Good.”
“Do you brush your teeth twice a day?”
Good lord – why am I even - “Of course I do!”
“Hmmm, good. Very good.”
Hazel eyes narrow slightly for some reason, “Then they must be very sharp –”
Nodding proudly, “– Very.”
“– Then you will do well to keep them away from our Dad’s skin!”
“Lily!”
“What the hell….”
“Silence!”
Damn this is more awkward than promised.
“Okay. Okay, so, er, you like chocolates?” Wide green eyes doing a miserable job of looking threatening.
Indulge him. just a kid, “Yeah….I’m pretty fond of chocolates.”
“You - Will - Share.” Not that bad a job after all. Holy hell.
“Sure! Definitely! I’ll share everything – sweets, cookies, fruits, clothes, oxygen, bed, lube –”
“DRACO!”
“ENOUGH! That’s - that’s quite enough. Thank you, Mr. Malfoy.”
Phew….. “So I’m cleared then - ? ”
“Wait! …..Will you make him cry?”
Light brown eyes roll dramatically, “Adults don’t cry, Alby. Not everyone’s like you, bro.”
“Well, will you?!” Identical emerald eyes glare in inquiry…..So fucking similar. It’s getting difficult to focus. Damn. Look at the original then. Right.
Looking at the adult version and voice dripping with utmost sincerity, “Never. Not even in my dreams.” They don’t need to know about the actual dreams, thanks.
“Oh….oh, fine then –”
“You made me cry just last night –”
“POTTER! There are kids…”
“Oh Fuck!”
“DAD!!!”
“Shit!”
“CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES!!”
…….Salazar…….Honestly, kids.
