“Daddy, you killed Minerva,” six-year-old Ellie accused, tears welling up in her eyes.
Draco’s daughter was shocked to the core. Draco locked at his wife for support, but Hermione already had tears streaming down her face.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” Draco apologized. “I didn’t mean to. It was an accident. I promise I’ll fix her.”
Taking out his wand, he realised that he had no idea which spell to use in order to re-attach the head to his daughter’s favourite doll. Who would have thought those Barbies his in-laws kept giving his daughter would break so easily?
Hermione finally achieved some measure of control over her laughter, enough at least to mouth an incantation at Draco. Picking up on his wife’s clue, Draco was quick to magically glue Minerva’s head back on to her body and handed the doll back to his daughter.
“There you go, Minerva’s all better,” he assured. His daughter examined Minerva from head to toe, apparently checking for further injuries. When she was assured that Minerva was in good health, she flashed Draco a smile and then ran off to continue playing.
Draco sighed in relief. Crisis averted. Thank Merlin for magic.
“No more dead bodies for daddy tonight,” Hermione teased, still laughing. Draco could only nod.
