Single parenthood, a missing nanny, a closed kindergarten, and no caffeine would already be enough to ruin Draco Malfoy’s morning. Add in a five-year-old who never stops talking, asking questions, or befriending anyone within reach, and it becomes a disaster. Scorpius turns the Ministry into his personal exploration ground, endlessly curious and completely fearless. When Draco finally loses sight of him, he expects the worst—only to find his son calmly chatting with a stranger as though they’ve known each other for years.
