Different Paths in Life: Silvia Stone One Shots

A Changing Time Pt. 2

" He's lucky to be alive... His arm, it's like he broke it twenty years ago and never got it mended..." Silvia leaned over her sons body as she healed Albus. Being the only Hogwarts healer, Silvia's lifelong pledge she had made to the school, had its hard times... Taking care of her own children were some of them.

" He'll be okay, right love?" Her husband whispered to her.

" Of course he will Harry..." She whispered back, setting one final charm on his arm before walking over and sitting on Harry's lap. " I can't believe he and Malfoy- Riddle would do such a thing," Silvia scuffed, playing with Harry's wild strands of black hair.

" I know, I'll talk to him when he wakes up," he reassured her, holding her close and tight. Silvia snuggles into him, resting her head on his shoulder. " You know, when we were in the forest... Bane the centaur said that there is a black cloud surrounding Albus... It's Malfoy, don't you agree?" Harry informed her.

She nods. " It would make sense. The two are inseparable... Sort of like-"

" Don't," he scolded harshly, cutting her off before she could finish. " We're going to force changes between the boys and then things will be back to normal," he said in a calmer tone.

She felt Harry stroke her hair and back. " You know... Ever since the fight and Amos's visit you've been- oh how do I put it... Well you've been a bit protective yet distant with the kids, especially Al," Silvia explains in a soft tone, scared he'd burst out again.

" What'd you mean Sil?" Harry asked all confused.

" I-I think your starting to become blinded by your love for him... You aren't seeing how he feels, instead your going off and picking the best choices for him to make yourself," she tells him, he glares. " He's growing up Harry! We can't baby him forever!" She raised her voice, getting off his lap.

" But this is more important! We need to protect him from Malfoy!" He shouts back, standing from the chair.

" Harry things like this don't just happen at random! There's something larger going on here and we have to figure it out!" She yells. Draco Malfoy stands in the doorway, watching the whole scene, ignored by the Potters.

" Why? Why us? Is it because we're the freaking Destined and Chosen One's?! Why Silvia Emma Potter?! Tell me!"

" BECAUSE HE'S OUR SON YOU RAMBLING IDIOT!" She screams. " And Scorpius Malfoy JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND!" Silvia adds.

Harry only stares at her in shock and slight amusement.

" Mum...? Dad...?" A groggily voice came from behind them.

" Albus! Hi sweetheart... Shh your okay, everything's okay now..." Silvia ran the few steps to his bedside and sat on the small edge. She traced a few strands of brown hair out of his grey eyes and smiled.

" Mrs Malfoy...?" He asked. Silvia laughed.

" It appears your in a state of amnesia Al, it can happen sometimes... I'm your mother.." She smiles but Albus's eyes grow twice their size.

" I-Is Scorpius- er Scorpius Malfoy, alright?" He asks. Silvia sighs.

" He's in his common room, his father took him there after us adults made a decision..." She sighs again, looking at her son's concerned eyes.

" Your not going to be allowed to be near each other for a very long time," Harry told him for Silvia.

" What! Why? We're in the same house and dorm! You can't just-"

" Albus Severus you are in Gryffindor, I have no clue what state of mind you're in but this has to get drilled into your head," Harry said sternly and Silvia nodded.
