Always pretty - Bellis perennis

English Daisies (Bellis perennis) are a plant that I’ve long overlooked. Sure, I knew it was a wound healer but I much preferred it for its beauty in the garden. This season, though, I’ve decided to focus on it a little. There’ll be a page on this sunny herb soon. It’ll be easy to find if you want to experiment yourself, it’s in all the garden centres now. ‘Bellis‘ means ‘pretty’ or ‘beautiful’…

Daisies by Pascal Volk

[weird-is-life]

Sirius Black after escaping the Black Manor House, bloody and bruised and sobbing his heart out, comes to James’s house where Remus and reader already are. Reader gets so incredibly protective of Siri and just wraps herself around him, hardly even letting fleamont near him in fear of him getting hurt again. She falls asleep in his lap, still curled around him like a shield.

Hiii, ty for the request!!! Hope this is okay, warnings: pet names, mentions of bruises and blood, angsty, fluff, mentions of food/drinks, (0.7k)

You don't expect anybody to barge inside Potters's home, so late at night. You, James and Remus have been talking and inventing a plan on how to free your Sirius from the nightmare, that is his household for hours, hell even days now.

So when you see him standing in front of the door all bloody, bruised and so so sad, you almost think you've gone crazy.

But you haven't, he's really there. Sirius knew, he had to get out of his house. And even if he knew it wasn't going to be easy, he didn't expect his family to fight so hard to keep him there. It all happened so quickly, one minute, he was casting one spell after another and the next, he was knocking on James's door with blood running down his arm and face.

"Oh my gosh, Sirius!" you throw yourself around his neck, hugging him tightly just to really make sure, you aren't imagining him.

Sirius lets out a sigh of relief, upon having you finally back in his arms, even if his whole body hurts like crazy. And unintentionally, he can't help it, the tears start to run down his cheeks as his body shakes with the sobs.

You don't say anything, almost as startled by the state of Sirius as he is, you just hold him more tightly.

The guys give you a few minutes before they get too impatient and go to hug Sirius tightly. You step back for a moment, giving them some space, because you know they need it, too.

Eventually, when Sirius's soft sobs stop and there appears a smile on his face, you say, " come on handsome, let's get you cleaned up."

You take his hand and lead him to the bathroom as Remus and James make some tea and something to eat.

You sit Sirius down on the tub and bring out some gauzes and antiseptic spray. You start to gently wiping away the blood and cleaning out the cuts.

Sirius tiredly, defeated just sits there and lets you clean him up. His eyes close on their own accord as your loving hands patch him up.

You work as quickly and as gently as you can, but every now and then you hear, Sirius wince.

"I'm sorry, sorry" you say worriedly, "I'm almost done."

"It's okay, sweetheart," Sirius answers softly with hoarse voice.

You stop, what you are doing and sigh, " I'm sorry, Siri, that....that you had to go through this on your own. I'm sorry, we weren't there."

Sirius opens his eyes to look at your pretty, but very upset face," sweetheart, there was nothing you could have done. Nothing. And it's okay, if you weren't there, you are here now, that's all that matters to me," Sirius tries to give you is best smile and it works. Even if he looks like he just went through hell and back, his smile looks the smile as it always does.

You sniffle a little and smile back at him, putting your hands through his wild hair, you whisper, " I love you, Siri."

"I know," Sirius says," I love you, too. So much."

You lean in to give him a kiss, but hesitate, not wanting to make him hurt with all of the cuts.

Sirius, apparently, doesn't care about it, because he pulls you close to him and kisses you. His whole face feels like it's on fire from the pain, but all he cares about is that he's safe and he's got you with him.

When you pull away with giddy smile, you quickly go to your room for some Bruisewort Balm (healing cream) and some clothes, he can change into.

Once Sirius is looking like himself again, you go hand in hand to the living room, where the tea and food and relieved James and Remus wait for you two.

You make yourselves comfy on the couch there. You snuggle Sirius close the whole time, not intending on ever letting him go again.

And as the sun starts to rise, everybody falls asleep in the living room, too exhausted to move to the much comfier beds. But you are as comfy as one can be, as you hold on tightly to your Sirius.

Why you should avoid kava and 9 other risky dietary supplements

One-third of Americans say they believe supplements have been tested by the Food and Drug Administration for safety, according to a 2022 nationally representative survey by Consumer Reports of 3,070 adults in the United States. But the FDA doesn’t approve or test the safety or effectiveness of any supplement before it enters the U.S. market.

After consulting with a panel of doctors and researchers, Consumer Reports says you should avoid these 10 risky supplements. In general, risk increases the larger the dosage and the longer the supplement is taken. Also beware of illegal or unapproved drug ingredients, such as tianeptine, methylsynephrine and phenibut.

Bellis perennis, common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy, Маргари́тка многоле́тняя.

Order:Asterales

Family:Asteraceae

Genus:Bellis

Bellis may come from bellus, Latin for "pretty", and perennis is Latin for "everlasting". The name "daisy", possibly originating with this plant, is considered a corruption of "day's eye", because the whole head closes at night and opens in the morning. Geoffrey Chaucer called it "eye of the day". In Medieval times, Bellis perennis or the English Daisy was commonly known as "Mary's Rose". Historically, the plant has also been widely known as bruisewort, woundwort, bone flower.

Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe.

Германские племена на туманном севере редко мельком видели ясную синеву неба. С открытием чашечки ромашка объявила им о присутствии бога Солнца Балдура. Они дали ему название "Глаз Балдура" или "Бровь Балдура".

Молодые листья можно есть сырыми в салатах или приготовленные, цветочные бутоны и лепестки можно есть сырыми, клать в супы и салаты.Его также используют в качестве чая и витаминной добавки.Ромашка - национальный цветок нидерландов.

Как вегетативные растения, маргаритка растет в виде небольшой розетки. Каждый лист имеет форму ложки. Часто розетки растут пятнами, и если эти пятна выкопать, оказывается, что они соединены короткими и толстыми корневищными системами.

В традиционной медицине маргаритка используется для очистки крови, для стимуляции обмена веществ и аппетита, а также в качестве средства для желудка, желчного пузыря и печени. Он также особенно эффективен при кожных заболеваниях. Следует особо подчеркнуть эту тесную связь ромашки с кожей. Для лечения ран Беллис не менее эффективен, чем другие известные представители семейства маргаритных. Благодаря соку для заживления ран и очищения кожи он используется в традиционной медицине для лечения травм с более крупными дефектами кожи, а также при ушибах, растяжениях и растяжениях.Травяной жрец Кюнцле рекомендовал добавлять ромашку во все чайные смеси для детей.

Как и крапива, маргаритка никогда не должна отсутствовать в "супе из девяти трав" или супе "Чистый четверг". Это традиционное весеннее блюдо помогает нам избавить наш организм от отходов, накопившихся за зиму.

Последние результаты показали, что растение обладает антиоксидантным, антимикробным, противораковым, ранозаживляющим, антидепрессивным, анксиолитическим, нефропротекторным, инсулиновым миметическим действием, а также влияет на липидный обмен.

Его использовали при ревматизме, экземе, заболеваниях глаз, воспалении и тонзиллите в народной медицине.

Тут основной цветочек на газонах, вместе с желтым цветком, о котором далее. Миниатюрная версия классической ромашки, растет так близко к земле что зацветает даже на самых коротко стриженных газонах.

Bellis perennis, or common daisy, generally blooms from early to midsummer, although when grown under ideal conditions, it has a very long flowering season. Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked, noting that the leaves become increasingly astringent with age. Flower buds and petals can be eaten raw in sandwiches, soups and salads. It is also used as a tea and as a vitamin supplement. (X)

Comfrey

Scientific Names: Symphytum officinale Other Common Names: Black root, ass ear, boneset, healing herb, bruisewort, knitback Overall Safety: Topical: 😊, Oral: 🙁  

Therapeutic Efficacy and Considerations:

😐 Several German studies and a case series published in English show efficacy of topical comfrey for healing bruises, sprains, broken bones, and the pain associated with these conditions. One larger human study showed topical comfrey to be more efficacious than placebo in reducing swelling and pressure differences in treatment of ankle distortions. However, this trial showed no significant difference in resting pain between placebo and comfrey treatment groups. Overall, there is not adequate information available to truly evaluate the efficacy of topical comfrey for any purpose. Externally, comfrey is safe when used for less than 10 days in doses of less than 100 µg per day.

Chemistry/Pharmacology: The leaf, rhizome, and root of comfrey are all used for medicinal purposes. Comfrey contains hepatotoxic unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids (UPAs). The highest concentrations are found in the root. The plant also contains sarracind and platyphylline which have been used to peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal hypermobility. These components are not hepatotoxic. Allantoin is thought to give comfrey its healing properties. Anti-inflammatory activity is associated with rosmarinic acid. Tannins, triterpenoids, beta-sitosterol, and a host of other compounds are found in comfrey.

Drug Interactions: No known drug interactions.

Contraindications/Precautions: Comfrey is contraindicated for internal use because of hepatotoxicity. Topical use is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Topical application on unbroken skin should be for 10 days or less with a total of 4-6 weeks per year. The total daily amount of UPAs applied to the skin should be 100 mcg or less.

Adverse Effects: Oral use can cause serious veno-occlusive disease, hepatotoxicity, and gastrointestinal upset. Dermatitis with topical use. Comfrey is possibly carcinogenic.

Harry‘s not amused, because Severus is “pretty certain they‘re out of Bruisewort Balm” and other than Sev he cannot just hide the marks under his robes, when he‘s in the Aurors dressing room - and “omg, if Ron sees these he will not shut up for the rest of the month.”

His Hufflepuff (Draco Malfoy)

Character: Draco Malfoy Requested: No Type: Fluff/ Angst

Summary: Draco Malfoy falling in love with a Hufflepuff.

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

Third Year

"I'll be right back Miss Lavina, I think that Finnigan boy made another explosion. I swear that boy one day is going to come to me bald." Madam Pomfrey rushed towards the door after giving Lavina a reassuring smile.

The day was slow. She already finished her classes for the day so she did what she always does whenever she has free time. She helps out Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary room.

Lavina wanted to take after her mom and become a famous healer. She also understood that it was a tough job so she never wasted any free time she had and always either studied or practiced with Madam Pomfrey.

After charms, she made a beeline to the infirmary. Currently, Lavina was cleaning when Hagrid burst through the door holding a whimpering boy in his arms. She turned around and saw the boy holding onto his arm.

"Merlin, what happened?" She gasped guiding them towards an empty bed. Hagrid laid Draco down as Lavina started running around the room trying to find her wand.

"His bloody chicken broke my arm." Draco cried out obviously being as dramatic as he can be.

"For the last time, it was a Hippogriff!" Hagrid exclaimed. "If you did not provoke BuckBeak then you would not have gotten hurt."

"If you weren't a teacher I would not have gotten hurt." He snaps back not even noticing the girl. Lavina let out a cough to get their attention and both looked at her.

"Currently Madam Pomfrey went out to fix a problem; however she left me here to help out." She then turned towards Hagrid. " I think it may be best for you to leave Hagrid. We don't need for him to get more irritated and I'm sure my peers are missing you as we speak."

Hagrid looked around and then back at her, "Are you sure you can do it without assistance?" The girl laughed. Draco just stared at her confused on why she was there but hey if she can make the oaf leave he'll let her do whatever she wants.

"I'm positive Hagrid relax. Dumbledore gave me permission to help out here and Madam Pomfrey wouldn't leave her infirmary to just anyone. He'll be good as new." He nods after gaining a reassuring smile from her then walked towards the door without glancing back at the boy.

Lavina then smiled kindly at the boy, "Now that he's gone may you tell me what happened?"

Draco stared at her in shock. Anyone would have believed Hagrid and just blame it on Draco; however, this girl is giving him a chance to tell his side of the story.

"I swear I did not mean to provoke that chicken. I was just annoyed that Potter had all the attention...again. It then lashed out on me and now I'm here." She nodded and reached out her arm carefully as if asking permission if she could touch his arm. He gave her a stiff nod.

He felt her soft hands gently touching his arm. Besides his mother, he never felt such gentle and warm hands before. Though he liked the attention he was receiving he noticed her yellow and black tie from her robes.

"You're a Hufflepuff?" He grimaced in light disgust. How could someone as beautiful and soft as her be in Hufflepuff? The more he looked at her the more he understood. Her whole aura was soft and sweet. He's seen her in class when Slytherins and Hufflepuffs have class, but never at any quidditch games or other social gatherings.

"And you're a Slytherin." She added back with a smile not taking his question as an insult. It quite amused her how close-minded he was. She then got up and grabbed a flask. "Here drink up its Bruisewort Balm it should help with the bruising that the 'chicken' gave you."

He quirked an eyebrow, "This feels a lot more than a bruise. Shouldn't we wait for Madam Pomfrey?"

She scoffed knowing well that he shouldn't be doubting her knowledge, "You're in good care. I swear she wouldn't leave her infirmary alone without someone who she knew could take care of a patient. Plus I'm assuming with the fractured wrist you have that you fell to the ground."

He stared at her for a moment and nodded then drank the flask without any more doubts. If something were to happen to him at least his last view would be of someone as beautiful as her.

"Well, I'm assuming with the knowledge you have the care I can see you have that you want to be a healer?" She nods enthusiastically.

She held her wand out towards his wrist, "Brackium Emendo"  He could feel his wrist healing. "I want to follow in my mother's footsteps. She's a healer at St. Mungos. I told Madam Pomfrey that I wanted to be a healer and now she's training me. I've always wanted to help others and heal what's making them hurt." He saw the sparkle in her eye when she said that.

It was admirable to be that passionate at a young age. He wishes he could say the same. With the strict and unloving way of his father, he had no aspirations because deep down he knew that his life would take a dark turn in the future just like much of his family members.

"Well, I'm glad that I'm in such good hands. I can tell you're going to be a magnificent healer." She looked confused. She has heard plenty about the type of person Draco is. She hasn't expected him to be this way with her. Maybe it was the medication.

"Was that a compliment? I'm shocked." He gave her a genuine smile. He already felt better physically and mentally too. He felt calm and relaxed around her. If his family ever found out he had this type of connection with a Hufflepuff they would be livid.

"Well, get used to it. You'll be hearing plenty of them."

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

Sixth year

Lavina was sneakily following a Slytherin down the halls. The Slytherin she had been dating for a year now.

Since formally meeting at the infirmary in their third year they became the best of friends shocking everyone. The golden trio had a hard time trying to process that the notorious Slytherin could be acquainted with the sweet Hufflepuff. But you know what they say opposites attract.

As years went on their friendship blossomed into something bigger. He gained the courage and finally asked her out at the beginning of the fifth year and of course, she said yes.

They were the talk of the year. Wherever he went she was right beside him. Wherever she went he was always around with an arm wrapped around her waist.

They even met each other's family. To the surprise of most, Narcissa and Lucius approved of Lavina. At first, they scoffed when they heard that she was a Hufflepuff, but then relaxed when they found out she's a pureblood. When they met her they fell in love with her. Even Lucius learned to care for the young girl. She warmed her way to the Malfoy's heart.

They cared about each other more than they cared about themselves. When Voldemort came back their bond got even stronger. After gaining the dark mark he cried for days on end and of course, Lavina was right beside him hugging him as hard as she could.

With the task that the dark lord placed upon him Lavina could tell it was getting to him. His skin drained from color, his eyes with no more spark of happiness, his body frail, and his mind a mess.

The moment she saw him pull on his tie roughly and saw the panicked look in his eyes she finally made herself known.

She saw him rush into the bathroom and unhesitantly walked inside.

"Draco..." Her angelic voice causes the boy to turn towards her and rushed to her arms. She could feel his tears drop on her shoulder but she didn't care.

"You shouldn't have come." He muttered holding her as tight as he could. She and his mother were the most important people in his life. He can't lose either of them. He would rather die protecting them than let anything happen.

She pulled away and gently placed her hands on his cheek, "My love when will you understand that wherever you go I follow. To the ends of the Earth if need be. I love you."

He leaned into her touch enjoying her presence and the love radiating from her body.

"And I love you. So much more." He rested his forehead on hers. His love for her is unmatched. He never thought he would ever feel this way towards anyone. He never thought he deserved love as pure as what they have. All he knows is that no matter what he'll protect her. He has to. She's his everything. And he's hers.

"I know what you did, Malfoy."  The couple jumped at the voice. Draco immediately pushed Lavina behind him. "You hexed her didn't you." Harry walked closer. Lavina grabbed onto Draco's hand tightly and he squeezed it in reassurance even though she could tell he was worried. She wished she didn't leave her wand in her room.

Draco knows that Harry suspected him of all the failed attempts of murder and it made everything harder for him.

He knows Harry wasn't going to back down and with the love of his life behind him in harm's way he knows he couldn't talk his way out of this one.

He quickly drew out his wand watching as Harry did the same. Draco throws a hex in Harry's direction which misses him by inches and shatters the lamp beside him.

Lavina grabbed tighter onto Draco as he blocks Harry's jinx. She could hear Moaning Myrtle screaming.

There was a loud bang and the bin behind Harry exploded. Draco took this opportunity to grab onto Lavina and guide her towards the door.

"Draco I'm not leaving you." Lavina protested screaming as Draco pushed her away from one of Harry's spells.

He quickly shoved them towards a stall, "You have to leave now Lavina. Please do as I say. Nothing can harm you, not when I'm around." He kisses her quickly and pushes her towards the door then runs to find Harry.

Harry attempted a Leg-Locker Curse that backfired off the wall behind Malfoy's ear and smashed the cistern beneath Moaning Myrtle, who screamed loudly; water poured everywhere.

Draco was breathing heavily. This was not how tonight was supposed to go. He quietly walks around kneels down trying to see if he's near any of the stalls. When they both see each other they both throw spells at one another.

Draco immediately runs back to the sinks limping. Out of nowhere, he sees Lavina rushing to him.

"Draco are you alright? We must go." She checks him all over.

"W-what are you still doing here. Go!" He yells trying to get her out of harm's way. He had his back towards the now crawling Harry.

"I wasn't going to leave you alone. You should know better than that. Now come on let's go." She grabs onto his arm looking around to see if there were any signs of danger. Then out of the corner of her eye, she could see Harry waving his wand at Draco's back.

"SECTUMSEMPRA!" bellowed Harry from the floor. To Draco, everything went in slow motion.

One minute he was about to escape with the love of his life and the next he feels her push him roughly to the ground. Due to the injuries, he already obtained due to the duel it took him a bit to realize what happened.

All he heard was silence.

He got up wincing. He feels the coldness of his wet clothes. He pushes himself up and turns around to find out the reason why she pushed him and the moment his eyes fell to her fallen figure his eyes welled up in tears.

"No no no no no." He mutters rushing towards her body. There were large gashes on her abdomen. Blood poured out causing the water to redden. It was supposed to be him. He was the one who was supposed to get hit with the unknown spell, not her. Not the love of his life.

He knelt down by her side ignoring the water surrounding them, "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." He cried out. "It was supposed to be me. Why did you do that? Goddamit Lavina why?"

"Shh, darling. It's okay. I'm okay." She coaxes as if it weren't she who was bleeding out.

"Sweetheart I'm going to need you to tell me a healing spell I can use." Her eyes flutter, "Lavina don't you dare close your eyes. You can't leave me. P-please don't leave me."

He tries to think and curses at himself for never paying attention to Lavina when she told him to study with her. But he had to do something.

"Lavina keep those pretty eyes open my love." He demands crying harshly not caring that Potter could kill him at any moment. At this point, he would let him. He tried to stop the bleeding but nothing was working. Her blood kept oozing out.

"Malfoy I-" Harry tried to speak taking a step closer to see if he could help. He didn't expect that spell to do that much damage. And he certainly didn't expect for the spell to hit Lavina.

His eyes sharpened at Harry. His wand ready to shoot any hex. He protectively rushed in front of his love to stop him from doing any more damage. "Don't come any closer."

"I-I'm sorry. I swear I didn't want Lavi-"

"Don't you dare say her name." Harry watched as Draco's tears rush down his face. He never saw this side of him.  His hair was disheveled, his hands shaky, and worst of all the fear evident in his eyes.

"Draco." At that moment Snape came rushing into the room. His eyes immediately go to the bloody body. His gasp almost inaudible. His favorite student on the ground barely moving and blood all around her.

"You have to help her...please. I'm begging you." Draco pleads ignoring Harry's presence. He sees Snape give Potter a look which made the boy run after taking a quick look at the body.

Snape stares at her wounds and hovers his wand over her. Draco grabs her hand lightly begging any superior force to save her life. The bloody water starts to clear up as the blood starts disappearing.

"She's going to be fine. There will only be a scar, but we have to take her to the hospital wing just in case." Draco immediately carries her limp body and rushes towards Madam Pomfrey. His mind punishing himself for his failure to protect the love of his life.

"Oh my." Madam Pomfrey cries out grabbing onto her protege.

After a few hours and many potions later, Draco finds himself sitting beside an unconscious Lavina on the hospital bed. He couldn't move from his spot. He wouldn't move from his spot. He's going to be there the moment she wakes up and he's going to hug her and never let her go.

He doesn't deserve her he knows that tonight was the result of that. He almost lost her. He was so close to losing her. He can't imagine a life without her bright yellow and black tie or her beautiful bright smile or the angelic sound of her voice.

He grabbed onto her hand and placed a light kiss on it, " I love you more than life itself. I need you. Please come back to me."

"Don't you ever listen to me? To the ends of the earth, I'll be right by your side. See not even an unknown spell can't tear me away from you."

19 Years Later

"Scorpius I swear to Merlin if you don't get your behind down here I will get up there and drag you myself. With or without your hair gel." Lavina yells putting the jacket on her five-year-old daughter, Ascella while carrying the youngest child, Atlas on her hip.

"My love do you really have to yell I was just having a moment with our son before he leaves." She turns around glaring at the white-haired duo. Merlin, they were identical.

"Yes father told me great things about the school and I cannot wait to be sorted into Slytherin." The last word made Lavina quirk an eyebrow.

"You know you have half Hufflepuff blood in you too Scorp. Hufflepuff isn't so bad." She kneels down by her son.

"But father says that's where loser-"

Draco immediately covered his son's mouth and threw him over his shoulder, "Didn't you say that we were going to be late if we don't get a move on. Let's go and completely forget about this conversation."

Lavina playfully glared at her husband, "We'll talk about that later Mr. Malfoy. Now go to the Chimneys. Draco go with Ascella and Scorp since they do not know how to use Floo powder, I'll go with Atlas." Watching Draco, Ascella, and Scorp leaving a smile grew on her face.

It's been 19 long years since the battle of Hogwarts. After the confrontation with Harry, Draco never left Lavina's side. Wherever she went he followed, wherever he went she followed. Since Draco was on the dark side, Lavina sided with her husband, not for evil, but to protect him. To shield him from anything and everything.

During the Battle of Hogwarts Draco stood by Lavina with the students. The moment his father and mother called for them one look at Lavina made him want to stay and fight. They did. They fought back to back against any and every death eater.

Protecting each other.

Loving each other.

Winning for each other

After the war, it took Lavina about a year to make Draco realize that he never really had the choice and the moment he did have to choose he chose the right side. Two years after that they got engaged and a few months after that they got married.

It took Lavina five years to finally get pregnant with her firstborn, Scorpius. They were both ecstatic at the news. Lucius and Narcissa were too. Lucius was happy that his bloodline continued while Narcissa was just happy to become a grandmother.

Then another six years passed before they got their little princess. Draco, Lucius, and Narcissa were excited to spoil the baby girl and boy they did. Just a mere three years later their youngest, Atlas was born.

The family of five were still purebloods and very rich, however with Lavina as the wife and mother she raised her kids to be accepting and kind. To be humble and compassionate. To treat others the way they would want to be treated. And thankfully Draco couldn't have agreed more.

Once Lavina with Atlas on her hip makes it to Platform 9 3/4 they immediately spot the rest of their family.

"Took you a while love, you alright?" She nodded as he kissed her cheek then baby Atlas.

"You have your jumper right?" She questioned the young boy as he pointed to this jacket that was already on him, "You have your sickles and galleons right?" He pointed to his pockets., "How about your-"

"Mom I have everything. Don't fret. Grandpa gave me plenty of galleons when we visited him last week." He smirks looking exactly like his father.

"You don't say." She gives Draco a look making him smile sheepishly knowing she didn't like when his father gives the kids money. Though Lucius is sometimes intimidating he really does adore his grandchildren. Both he and Narcissa love to spoil them.

Lavina started to tear up when the driver called out for takeoff in a few minutes. She can't believe her oldest child is off to Hogwarts. It was like yesterday it was her first day and now she's here with her family sending off her child.

She wrapped her arms around to hug him. Atlas also wrapped his tiny hands around his brother. After a few seconds, she knelt in front of him, "It does not matter what house you belong to. We will be supportive okay?"

"Are you sure because father wants me to be a Sl-"

"He married a Hufflepuff. We are loyal, patient, and extremely kind. However, I do not care if you don't get sorted there. Any house would be honored to gain such a powerful wizard."  She kissed his cheek and went to stand by her husband. "Right Darling?"

He playfully rolled his eyes, "Any house except for Hufflepuff is alright by me." She elbowed him hard, "I'm only joking. Relax sweetheart. Scorp your mother and I will be proud of you in any house. Now get a move on or else they'll leave without you.

After saying goodbyes and giving out hugs Scorpius walked onto the train. Draco and Lavina were looking around to see if they could see him and finally they saw the gelled back white hair. He was sitting next to Cerelia Zabini.

"Oh, Merlin not with a Zabini. My child will not be dating someone related to that twat." Draco scoffed. He loves Blaise but just as a friend he can't even try to imagine him as family.

"Sod off. He's making friends isn't that what's important?" He rolled his eyes. They all waved as the train takes off. "Plus she's very sweet and kind. What if she's a Hufflepuff and Scorp is a Slytherin? Dear, it'll be like us all over again."

"Don't even joke about it." She glared at him but he just smirked. "I'm only joking love, you know every Slytherin needs a charming Hufflepuff...I know I did."

She smiles at him, he couldn't help but be in awe of her, "Now let's go home, Mr. Malfoy."

"Right behind you Mrs. Malfoy and mini Malfoys." He wrapped his arm around her. Both looking at each other's eyes just thinking about the first time they met.

Who knew him flipping off that 'chicken' would get him to this very moment, sending off his first child with the love of his life to Hogwarts?  Definitely not him. But he wouldn't have it any other way.
