Family Headcanons: 2, 11, 13, 18
Family Headcanons: Send me a character and a number and I’ll tell you my headcanons for:
2) Their relationship with their mother.
Draco would kill for his mother, and nearly did. He wanted to protect her with everything he had; and it wasn’t because Narcissa needed protecting, oh no. She had looked the devil in the eye and lied. No, Draco wanted to protect his mother simply for one reason: she was the only person who truly loved him, and if he lost her, he’d lose everything good he had in the world.
11) Their favorite family traditions.
Every Christmas as a child, Draco and his parents would go to a different neighborhood every Friday and look at the lights that decorated the trees, turning the usually dull neighborhoods into what he could only call a wonderland. He loved the lights, the biting cold that turned his cheeks red, and how, after every outing, they would stop into his mother’s favorite cafe and get drinks to warm their hands.
13) What family member they are closest to now.
The day Scorpius was born was the day something inside Draco shifted. He was no longer working to make a better name for himself, but to make the world a better place for his son. Draco vowed to be the best father he could be, and teach his son everything he never had the chance to learn growing up.
18) Their happiest family memory.
Scorpius had just turned nine months old the week before, and the young parents had been working with their bouncing baby boy every free moment they could to get him to walk; so that Sunday morning, as Draco held the teetering child by his small, chubby fists, Astoria cooing at him from her seat on the couch, neither parent thought for a second that that would be the day. So when Scorpius let go of his father’s fingers and took shaky steps towards his mother, completely unaided, Astoria’s screams to get the camera were landing on deaf ears. Draco could do no more than simply watch.
