Eris, now in her 20s, was still engaged in her charitable work, helping underprivileged wizards and witches. Her life had become a beacon of hope for many.

She was a renowned author, her book was a bestseller and she was often invited to give speeches at Hogwarts. Her life was fulfilling, yet something was missing.

One day, she crossed paths with Draco. His hair was longer now, but his piercing grey eyes and sharp features were as familiar as ever.

They caught up over a cup of tea, talking about their lives and reminiscing about their Hogwarts days. It was a pleasant, nostalgic encounter.

Draco then shared the tragic news - Astoria had passed away, leaving him and their son, Scorpius, behind. Eris was moved by his sorrow.

Feeling a surge of empathy, Eris comforted Draco, her heart aching for his loss. Draco appreciated her kindness, feeling a sense of solace.

After that day, Eris began visiting Draco and Scorpius, bringing gifts and offering her support. She became a regular part of their lives.

Scorpius, a sweet and shy boy, began to see Eris as a motherly figure. He would eagerly await her visits, his eyes lighting up at her arrival.

To Scorpius, Eris was 'mom.' He would call her this every time she visited, causing Draco to blush and Eris to laugh heartily.

Draco started to see Eris in a new light. Her kindness, her compassion, her selfless love for his son - it made him see her differently.

He began to realize that he was falling for her. The way she made Scorpius smile, the way she cared for them - it was all too enchanting.

But he was unsure of Eris's feelings. Would she see him as more than a friend or was he misreading the signs? The uncertainty bothered him.

Meanwhile, Eris was also experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. She was touched by Draco's vulnerability and his love for his son.

She found herself caring deeply for both Draco and Scorpius. But she couldn't decipher if her feelings for Draco were purely platonic or something more.

One day, Draco finally gathered the courage to express his feelings to Eris. He was nervous, afraid of her reaction, but he had to know.

He told her how he felt, his words sincere and heartfelt. Eris listened, her heart pounding, a mix of surprise and confusion in her eyes.

Eris asked for time to process her feelings. She needed to understand what she felt for Draco before she could give him an answer.

Draco respected her decision and gave her the space she needed. He hoped for the best but prepared for the worst.

Eris spent days reflecting on her feelings. She realized that she cared for Draco not just as a friend but perhaps as something more.

She thought about Scorpius, the innocent boy who had started calling her mom. Could she give him the family he longed for? Could she love Draco?

With her feelings sorted, Eris decided to talk to Draco. She went to his house, her heart heavy with anticipation.

She confessed her feelings to Draco, telling him that she cared for him deeply and was willing to explore a future with him and Scorpius.

Draco was overwhelmed with joy. His heart swelled as he embraced Eris, relief washing over him. He thanked her, his eyes welling up.

Eris and Draco decided to take things slow, cherishing their newfound relationship. They grew closer, their bond strengthening with each passing day.

Scorpius was overjoyed to see Eris and Draco together. His wish had come true - he finally had a family, a mom, and a dad who loved him.

Eris, Draco, and Scorpius became a family. They faced the ups and downs of life together, their love for each other growing stronger every day.

Draco and Eris's relationship evolved from friends to lovers, from strangers to family. It was an unlikely love story, but it was their story.

And so, they lived their lives, filled with love, laughter, and magic. Their story was a testament to the power of love and the beauty of second chances.
