Well.

That was informative.

And by "informative," we mean "heartbreaking."

Botherable?

Mia normally looks happier so Will sits down beside her, giving her a hug,

"Mia, what's botherin' ye?"

[gorgonfondness]

She wipes some tears away.

"I met Draco's son today. Scorpius."

[will_scarlett]

That sentence doesn't make sense and sounds rather bad,

"Shh, start at the beginning."

[gorgonfondness]

She nods a little.

"I was just sitting in the bar when this young boy comes in. He was hurt, so I helped him out, and as I did, I noticed that he looked like Draco. So I asked him, and he said Draco was his father, but he didn't know who I was."

[will_scarlett]

"'rhaps 'e's from a different future or somethin' where ye an Draco arena married is all. Milliways can be rather 'orrible 'bout that. Think o'me an Marian where we're from worlds close as a shadow but far 'nough to 'urt."

[gorgonfondness]

Her hands go through her hair.

"A different future?"

A helpless sigh.

"I don't know. It's so early to tell."

[will_scarlett]

"Did 'e say what 'is mother's name was?"

He hugs her a little tighter, stupid Milliways.

[gorgonfondness]

She shakes her head.

"No. I didn't stay to ask. I didn't feel like I could."

[will_scarlett]

"Shh, I'll find out from 'im if ye wish. For now, let's get ye somethin' to drink an eat."

"Mia." She asks softly.

[gorgonfondness]

She looks up and sniffles out, "Oh, hi, Ginny."

[missginnytonic.livejournal.com]

Ginny looks at her"what's wrong?"

[gorgonfondness]

"I met someone from Draco's future, only it's not the Draco here."

[missginnytonic.livejournal.com]

"Oh really, who was it?"

She thinks.

"Is this the first time you've run in to this kind of thing?"

[gorgonfondness]

"His name is Scorpius Malfoy. He's Draco's son, but not mine."

She nods, "Yes, this is the first time."

[missginnytonic.livejournal.com]

Ginny sits down wrapping her arm around Mia.

"It's always hard when it happens. I'm sorry. You had to go though that."

[gorgonfondness]

She nods.

"I don't know what to do about it."

[iambetadraconis]

He's also met Scorpius, but that conversation is still in-progress.

"Mia? What's wrong?"

[gorgonfondness]

She rubs at her eyes.

"It's Draco. Sort of. I think."

Her hand leaves her eyes for a moment.

"I met his son."

[iambetadraconis]

"What about Draco?"

Pause.

Given that there's supposed to be three Ausa-Malfoy kids, it means we're going to have to clarify which one is the one in question.

"Really? When was this? Who was it?"

[gorgonfondness]

"It was earlier tonight. His name was Scorpius."

She folds her arms.

"But the thing of it is, he didn't know who I was. Said Draco was married to someone else."

[iambetadraconis]

That's the kid you met, Rabs!

"He ... didn't? Draco is? Was? Is?"

You open your eyes any wider, they're gonna fall out of their sockets.

[gorgonfondness]

"That's what he said. And I don't know what to think."

She's not even entirely sure how she feels aside from the vague area of not good.

"I trust him, but what if things change between now and then? What if it all falls apart?"

[iambetadraconis]

But if you're not sure, are you sure you trust him?

"You're not thinking he'll leave you for another woman, do you?"

[gorgonfondness]

Well, maybe it's just that she'd like to trust him.

It's hard when there's a Scorpius Malfoy to talk to.

"I don't know. Maybe. Maybe it will be like when he and I were first dating and he wanted to be with both Miniver and me. Or maybe we'll just grow apart."

She doesn't seem to like any of those ideas and, when she does see Draco and talk to him, she'll likely feel a little better.
