Scorpius's Letters

Dear Scorpius,
I'm so sorry I left on my trip so suddenly, it may be a while until I come back I'm really enjoying heaven. I'll see you soon my little star

-Your mother

I set the quill and paper down as tears well up in my eyes, Scorpius is 5 I don't know how to deal with this, she wasn't supposed to die so why did the world take her from her? Life isn't far

I seal the letter as I wipe my tears, I really should just tell him, y/n is dead but I can't hurt him, he's confused enough because of the funeral, I just can't handle it I don't think I can be a single dad

I just close my eyes as memories of y/n fill my mind and more tears roll down my cheeks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sitting on the couch just staring at the ceiling blankly as I was drinking straight from the alcohol bottle I bought today. And it was basically empty, and I just wanted y/n here I need her, and this is numbing my pain enough, making me forget she's dead just for a little while. When someone taps my shoulder and I look over and see Scorpius

I sit up confused as he then hands me another letter, I can't handle this him giving me letter after letter for his mother who's dead she isn't coming back and I can't handle this anymore

I take it and start ripping it up so fed up, she's dead she's fucking dead

"Stop giving me these stupid letters, she's dead your mother is dead, my wife is fucking dead and I can't handle it anymore ok Scorpius? She's never coming back so stop writing these stupid letters, it's almost a year don't you understand she's gone? She would be back already if she wasn't she's dead accept it!" I yell startling Scorpius as I then start crying

Scorpius starts crying and runs off, screaming she's not dead I hate you

'I can't do this anymore, I just can't I need my wife back with me but she's not coming back.'

~~~~~~~~~

I decided to read today's letter instead of throwing it into the trash

I felt terrible I know I've been drinking a lot and working a lot, and Scorpius sees his grandparents more than me, and I feel terrible for screaming at him and doing that, I need to make it up to him

I sit down at my desk and take a deep breath

Dear my darling Scorpius,
I'm sorry your dad is having such a hard time right now, please be patient with him work is difficult you know that, so please try and have patience with your father, I love you so much my star

-Mom

I take a deep breath as I stare over the letter, this isn't healthy but maybe just maybe it can be my escape from reality for a little while

I look at the bottle beside me and throw it in the trash can, if I can yell at my son under alcohol I won't ever touch it again, even if it's numbing my pain it's not worth it if I make Scorpius cry

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk into Scorpius's room and see him sitting on his bed crying still I walk over and hug him

"I'm so sorry I got angry ok? I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you." I say and Scorpius nods and hugs you

"Don't worry mommy is going to be coming back soon I promise." He says and I nod my head as I knew it wasn't true, tears slide down my cheek and Scorpius wipes them away "Don't cry daddy I miss mommy too but she's coming back." Scorpius says and I smile at him

"I love you so much little star," I say and Scorpius smiles at me

"And you're the big star," Scorpius says and I nod

"Yeah now let's go play ok? Any game you want I'll do whatever you want."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today Blaise told me I should try and start dating again

"My wife died a year ago Blaise," I say and he sighs

"I know just you don't have to, but if you feel ready to start seeing people again just give it a try, even try a date if you don't feel ready for dating then don't go on anymore," Blaise says and I nod

"Maybe I should, y/n wouldn't want me sad and crying myself to sleep every night," I say and Blaise nods

"Just one date with someone that's all," Blaise says and I nod again as I sigh just one date is fine

~~~~~~~~~~~

Blaise set me up on a blind date with a daphne Greengrasses younger sister Astoria, I sort of remember her from Hogwarts and Daphne talking about her when we were younger.

I brought her home and we chatted and then the babysitter walks downstairs and says Scorpius is asleep and I pay her and thank her, she leaves and I talk to Astoria more we got along fine, but I just kept saying in my mind she's just not y/n

Until Scorpius runs downstairs and jumps onto my lap "Hey bud." I say and Astoria smiles at Scorpius

But then Scorpius frowns and kicks her in the face as she tries to introduce herself

"No, stay away from mommy's man," Scorpius says and I sigh, I've been trying to get him to understand mommy is never coming back but he won't listen he won't believe she's dead, I tried to stop sending letters but it doesn't work, nothing is

Scorpius tried to fight her and I stop him

"Scorpius please don't," I say as tears fall down my cheeks and Astoria says she's gonna go

"Yeah go you home wrecker," Scorpius says and I rub his back, maybe dating isn't a good idea I don't think I can, Scorpius is more important than someone else sleeping with me in my bed, and anyways I've also realized I just want y/n forever no one can replace that

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Scorpius
I know you are angry at your father, don't worry it was just a friend he was catching up with that was over it wasn't a date at all you don't need to worry your dad would never cheat on me, we love each other so much, and I love you too this trip is just taking longer than normal I'm sorry

-Mom

If me dating again would upset Scorpius that much I'll never do it again because Scorpius is more important to me and I love him so much, he's the last I have of y/n and I'll treasure him forever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a lot of years later, Scorpius is married and he has kids I'm retired from my job now, and spend all my time with my two amazing grandkids. But today Scorpius walks over and hands me a letter then smiles and runs off

I was confused but opened it thinking it was from a friend or something

I started crying when no it was a letter from Scorpius to y/n like he did as a kid

I couldn't stop crying as I read it and I smiled as I looked up at Scorpius

Who picked up his daughter y/n and his son Aries and starts tickling them as he smiles, as his wife says Scorpius stop it they are trying to help me bake, I was so happy seeing Scorpius so happy with the family he's created

"Don't worry scorp, when I reunite with her I'll make sure she gets the message."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|Scorpius's pov|

I kneel down at the headstone and smile as I read the writing on it 'rest in piece Draco and y/n Malfoy, reunited at last.'
I wanted to cry my dad was dead he died last month but he was with my mother and happy with her finally, that was enough to make me smile instead of cry

"I love you both so much, and dad don't forget to give her my message ok? I know you'll be happy to see mom and give her that big kiss, but don't forget about my message ok?" I say as I set a letter I wrote to my parents down beside the headstone, just telling them how much I love them and how much I miss them

But how happy I am that they are finally reunited again
