This was one of the most beautiful scenes in this chapter. Srsly. ❤❤❤
“Movement caught her attention, a hand tightening its hold on hers in the same way he held onto her cardigan every morning. Hermione held her breath when she spotted Scorpius tentatively, bravely reaching for his father's hand to make a connection of his own. One he had tried to make the last night but lost his nerve. Malfoy looked at her first then down at Scorpius. He didn't startle when a little hand wrapped around two of his fingers. He didn't even flinch.
He just held on and inhaled.
Exhaled.
Hermione watched his eyes shut as the shoulders that silently carried too much weight sagged.
It was something wordless that knew no bounds.
Relief.”
— Measure of a Man, Chapter 21
Despite that double cliffy 😱 21 had some of my favorite moments. @inadaze22 wasn’t lying. That domestic tension was thriiiiving.
For a minute, I thought my interest in this story has waned. I'm so glad I'm wrong. The complexity of MoaM and ALL its characters is just ❤❤. You'd think it's all heavy but then you get a Scorpius hug and that walk and that lingering eye contact. It's the small things that does it for me.
It's still WIP but it's about to take down Broken as my all-time favorite. So congratulations, @inadaze22, you've outdone yourself with this one! 💕
Measure of a Man
Eighteen: The Head And The Heart
Summary:
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.
Preview:
It was awkward. Miserably so because there were words she needed to say that she hadn't prepared for. Now they were bouncing around in her head, jumbled and twisted and out of order. The potion she'd taken to remain alert might have made her feel awake, but Hermione was tired.
Weary.
All the way down to her bones.
"I've been advised that we should have a repeat of our previous conversation." Malfoy cleared his throat, moving his hands from his side to clasp them behind his back. "Preferably without arguing or throwing insults and accusations."
Hermione looked up sharply. "Advised?"
That was a very specific word. Her mind tried to go the distance, attempting to analyse it, but she was exhausted—mentally and physically. No potion in the world would help that. Only sleep.
If she could manage it.
"Yes, advised." Malfoy looked away. "For over an hour. Loudly."
Loudly? She wondered who had been in his ear. Literally, it seemed. Clearly it was someone he trusted. Even though that list was short, Hermione struggled to chase the crumbs of clues to an answer. She inhaled every shred of patience she needed and exhaled one cleansing breath, pinching the bridge of her nose to give her the strength to get through this conversation.
"Malfoy, I haven't slept enough to have the mental capacity for another one o—"
Aaaaand we have lift off! I'm so happy with Scorpius, with Draco, with @inadaze22!!!! I couldn't help feeling like a giggling school girl during THAT part. Also, Scorpius is a precious marshmallow. ❤ I'm eager to read more about his progress learning sign language. Bet the father will be shocked. And hopefully find more ways to communicate with our Healer. 😍
Seriously, best part of my Fridays. Here's to wishing for your good health, @inadaze22! Thank you for another brilliant chapter!
“They turned around when they saw me and left when I came in…
But not you.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for this 👀
