Draco watched his son rush down the street, and he finished his last bite of ice
cream before peering into Mia's half-eaten dish.
"I'll stab you if you try," she threatened.
"So, what's the pool up to?" he asked when he looked up to check on the children,
still in sight thanks to Scorpius's beacon-like head of hair.
Mia grinned wryly. "Three hundred Galleons."
He laughed. "For one Sorting?"
"He's got four Gryffindor grandparents, two Gryffindor parents, his godfather is a
Gryffindor, and all of his aunts and uncles are Gryffindors," she said with a smile, glancing
over her shoulder to watch as Albus and Scorpius looked to be in a friendly argument over
one broom model versus another. "Plus he's a Potter, and my dad always said Potters get
sorted into Gryffindor."
Draco smirked. "But?"
"Well, his godmother is a Ravenclaw," she said, as though Luna's influence had
anything to do with Albus's Sorting that would take place the following evening.
"Don't let Lovegood fool you. Theo tells me what she's really like. That witch can
be cunning when she wants to be... and pretty filthy. She does things to Theo that Astoria
would hex me if she knew I was thinking about. You know where the kid's going, don't
you?"
Mia shrugged. "Why should I tell you insider secrets?"
"Because I'll toss in fifty Galleons of my own and split the winnings with you."
"Albus is going to be a Slytherin," she said quietly.
"How do you know that?"
"Because Blacks get sorted alphabetically before Potters," she said while grinning.
"And my daughter is a Slytherin. Carina and Albus are attached at the hip. She gets sorted,
and the second that hat gets tossed on his head, he's going to beg it to put him with her."
"Malfoy," Harry said as he approached the duo, Lily on his arm, looking like a mirror
image of her grandmother but with Ginny's eyes.
Draco gave a nod in greeting. "Potter."
"Been a while. How's the wife and kid?"
"Wife's with her sister and the Weasel, kid's just run off with your son."
Harry paled and his eyes widened as he turned to Mia. "Which one?"
