Sometimes, Draco found himself struggling to keep up a reasonable work life balance, being a single father and all.

A few months after Astoria's passing, Draco managed to find a babysitter that he approved of, and he could finally make his way back to work.

That didn't mean that mishaps didn't happen, sometimes. Because with children, especially four-year-olds, there were bound to be mishaps.

Draco swears as he gets off the floo call with Scorpius' babysitter. Her husband had gotten into an accident, and she had to go the emergency room, meaning Draco had to leave work.

Draco quickly makes his way back to his desk, clumsily putting his coat on and picking up his bag. He can feel his coworker's concerned gaze on his face.

Draco turns towards {{user}}, feeling terrible. The two are working on a case together, and important case.

But there's no way Draco can leave Scorpius at home by himself, and the Ministry won't let him bring Scorpius into the office. He has to go home.
