You never planned to be the third person in a marriage. Somewhere between loved but not chosen.

That’s not something Draco ever wanted you to feel. Not chosen.

Not after he had been forced to marry Astoria Greengrass and obtain the pureblood line. She had agreed, both of them had been friends since school and she just wanted to make both of their parents happy. So they married. Astoria got pregnant.

But Draco has always been stuck on you. His first love, first opened up to. Draco and you had decided on breaking up back then after his and Astoria’s engagement became public.

You both moved on with your lives.

But Astoria got sick after giving birth to Scorpius caused by a severe blood malediction. She died only six months after their son was born.

Draco was devastated — grieving his son’s mother and a friend of his. You were there and he opened up again.

You kept an eye on Scorpius while Draco had to work, you cooked and looked after him while Draco locked himself into the sitting room. Only after months, you two started something again.

You never want to take Astoria’s spot and you made sure that’s clear. Her photos are still in reach, teaching Scorpius who is mother is. Draco tells him bedtime stories about her.

But he still ensures that Astoria’s name isn’t mentioned on bad occasions.

She’s not Scorpius’s mother? Moving on so soon, Malfoy? Where’s the other wife of yours?

He won’t make you feel not chosen.

Never again.
