Once upon a time, in the wilds of

England, there lived a beautiful and

brilliant young princess named

Hermione.

Beautiful like mummy? Scorpius asked

his daddy.

Well, no, Draco Malfoy admitted. Thi

womans beauty was not immediately

apparent to those who did not know her. I

fact, on first glance, she was hopelessly

bourgeois ratty hair, big teeth,

conventional dress nothing

extraordinary. But if one looked beyondsurface appearances, then her beauty was

unsurpassable.

Scorpius looked unconvinced.

Now this lovely woman had dedicated

most of her life to protecting defenseless

creatures that had been abused by darkand evil wizards.

Was she a veterinarian? Scorpius

asked, his eyes wide.

A what?

A veterinarian. Thats a Muggle animal

healer, the small boy explained to his

father.

No! Draco grumbled. He was going tohave a serious talk with his wife about

exactly what she was teaching their son.

She didnt heal animals, she protected

hem.

Anyways, one day Princess Hermione

came across a handsome, smart, proud,

caramel-coloured eagle-owl. The eagle-owl was in trouble. There were a number

of men who wanted to lock him up in a

cage and never let him fly again.

Why did they want that? the blond boy

asked.

The owl had been branded by a ruthless

wizard, who had tried to get him to do

horrible and wicked things.

Like what? Scorpius gasped.

Like biting off the noses of little boys,

Draco grinned, pinching his sons noseightly and giving it a tug.

Daddy! the child giggled.

The owl never wanted to do these bad

hings; however, because he hadnt been

aught the proper way to behave, he

wasnt very good or kind. Luckily,Princess Hermione recognized the

disadvantages the owl had been laboring

under and decided to teach him to be

better.

Howd she do that? the child asked wit

a yawn.

First, she served as an example of how

one should act being kind,

friendly, and nonjudgmental aboutoutward looks. Second, she nagged him a

ot and cast a canary hex on him if

misbehaved. Most importantly, however,

she just loved him and showed him shebelieved he could be a better owl.

And it worked?

Draco nodded. Yes, he became a better

owl. He was still handsome, proud, and

had a continuing tendency to nip at the

fingers of annoying gits, yet at the same

ime, he began to do good things. He

helped other owls that had been hurt by

his old master and tried to aid in therebuilding of those parts of the world

destroyed by dark magic. Eventually,

people came to see that he had changed

for the better and no longer wanted to lockhim in a cage.

Did the owl and Princess Hermione live

ogether happily ever after? Scorpiusasked.

The elder Malfoy shook his head.

Unfortunately, a pathetic, bedraggled

weasel came into the picture and Princess

Hermione felt it necessary to rush to his

aid. But that my boy is a story for another

night.
