Scorpius Malfoy Headcanons
Listen I’m on the fence about The Chused Child, but I think we can all agree that Scorpius Malfoy is to be protected at all costs, and his relationship with his father is precious. So, here are a few pointless fluffy headcanons, some that fit in with TCC canon and some will not. Ahem.
- In a tradition that started when he was four years old, Scorpius and Astoria wake up super early on Father’s Day–waayyy early, they know Draco is an early riser–and make a big, extra special breakfast. They make crêpes with sliced fruits and caramel sauce, because Draco has a sweet tooth but hardly ever indulges in it. Astoria had to shoo away worried house elves the first couple years, but after a while they understand that Mistress and Young Master in the kitchen does not mean they’re doing a bad job. Draco is surprised and touched every single year.
- Con’t. In the same tradition, Draco and Scorpius spend weeks planning Astoria’s Mother’s Day, which will consist of a luxurious spa for her and her sister Daphne the day before, and a family outing on the actual holiday. Scorpius will pick the type of outing–theater, picnic, museum, etc.–and Draco will handle the details. She is always thrilled.
- When Scorpius makes friends with Albus Potter, he writes a letter to Harry Potter within the first week. Albus is, thus far, his only friend, and it certainly looks like it will stay that way for a while. The last thing he wants is to lose that. He writes explaining how grateful he is that Albus is so nice to him, and that Scorpius is not his father, and he promises to be the best friend Albus could ask for. He receives a response the next morning, in which Harry tells him that he was never worried. His son knows how to pick the right sort. Harry also asks Scorpius to give his best to his father.
- McGonagall makes Scorpius nervous for no good reason. Even in the later years, when the air had been cleared concerning his family name, Scorpius was prone to babble in front of the imposing woman, oftentimes before she’d even greeted him in passing. It was, in fact, one of these instances that warmed her up to the young boy. She’d approached him and Albus in a corridor in their first year and politely asked after their general wellbeing, as one does. Scorpius shared with her a very detailed report on this thing called an “iPhone” Albus had told him about, covering everything from gigabytes to color to durability, stating that he intended to ask his parents for one for his birthday. McGonagall, quite taken aback, couldn’t quite bite back her amused grin.
- Draco told Scorpius about his involvement in the war when he was eight. Scorpius had known a little bit before that–he had picked up on the fact that they were treated differently when he was much younger–but he’d never been given details. It was a long and difficult conversation, and when his father was finished, Scorpius had hugged him and told him that he still loved him. It was the first, and one of the only, times Scorpius had seen his dad cry.
- Scorpius did get mad about that years later. In his fourth year, a group of Gryffindors corner him and give him a bloody nose, and spell a quill to draw a sloppy Dark Mark on his arm. It is the final straw. When Draco and Astoria are called to Hogwarts about the incident, Scorpius yells at his father in McGonagall’s office, blaming him for everything, telling him that he hated the fact that they looked so alike and that everywhere he went, someone automatically hated him. Draco said nothing. Scorpius gets special permission from McGonagall that weekend to go home to surprise his parents, and to convince his dad that he didn’t mean anything he said, and that he still loves him.
