Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
Just so you are aware, the characters for this story are Albus and Scorpius only because it has a lot to do with the both of them. No they do not fall in love or anything of that matter. Thanks and please read and review it makes my day!
This morning no one would ever have been able to imagine something like this was capable of happening. Thinking up something so violent and scary was a hard thing to do, but it had happened and as Katherine Mabel Malfoy stood in the gist of the scene that was the only thing she could think of.
Her mouth was agape and she didn't know quite what to do. Her eyes wandered from back to the school building to her brother lying on the ground. She wondered whether or not to go get their father, but with all the people around hovering over his body, somebody was bound to have already sent to retrieve him.
Lifting up her feet, Katie raced to the stairs that led to the Quidditch pitch. No one stopped her, they all stepped aside as she raced by. All eyes were boring into her head and she could feel it.
Reaching her destination, standing over her brother's limp body, instantly all the hatred she had been feeling for him for weeks on end had simply vanished. His eyes were glazed over and he wasn't moving. His arm was wrapped steadily around his torso as if trying to reach for his wand on the opposite side of his body.
"Scorp," Katie whispered as she squatted to his level. "Scorpius Xavier Malfoy, please wake up. Please."
Tears began to swell up in Katie's eyes as she saw a pool of blood leaking out from under her older brother's body. "Someone, please help him," she screamed trying her best to remain calm, but failing to do so.
"We already sent for Madam Pomfrey and your father. We're doing all that we can do Miss Malfoy," Professor McGonagall whispered trying to reassure me.
"Well clearly it isn't enough if my brother's body is empting itself out in the middle of the Quidditch pitch." Katie realized her snappy attitude wasn't needed at this exact moment but couldn't help herself. There was this intense pulling on her heart and her stomach felt as if it had dropped intensly.
She looked around to see who was present in the circle hovering above her brother. Most faces were recognizable, but a few she hadn't seen before. She locked eyes with the extremely familiar green eyes of Albus Potter, the same pair of eyes that seemed to be haunting all her thoughts lately. He sent her a small smile and she jerked my head away. Then he went back to watching his best friend lying on the ground intently.
"What's wrong," The worried voice of an older man hit the air. "Why isn't something being done."
"Now, now Draco," McGonagall addressed Professor Malfoy by his first name. "We are doing what we can. We have to wait till Poppy arrives."
At this point in time, her mind drifted away to the people around them. Most were staring intently at Scorpius, a few were giving either her father or her looks, and then there were others who were trying their hardest not to look like they were invading the families personal area so were instead glancing around the pitch.
Suddenly the colors whirled around and before Katie knew it, she wasn't able to tell the shapes apart. Something wasn't right here, and the tears that were leaking down her face were becoming sticky. She needed to escape. She needed something. She needed her brother.
The echoing noises ricocheted of the surrounding walls in the lonely and empty halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that morning. The day was much like any other mid fall day; cold, dreary, and lifeless.
All the students stumbled their way to classes, bypassing friends and occasionally stopping to smile or spark up a conversation. All in all, the school seemed sad, which was a rather odd feeling for a day like this.
Today was a day like any other day throughout the year, the only thing different was that it was meant to slowly change some people's lives forever.
"It's the first Quidditch game of the season tonight. Are you guys going?" A tall lanky looking boy by the name of Luca Stork asked. The group of Slytherin 7th year boys were standing in a corner of the hallway talking before their next class began. All the boys had been best friends since forever.
"Of course I am, dumbass, I'm captain of the team," Scorpius Malfoy boasted watching as a group of Slytherin girls walked by. He flashed them his prized possession, his breath taking smile and watched as they giggled and walked away but kept glancing back.
The group picked up their pace, walking as they talked. "I still don't even get why you're on the team Scorp. Your grades are horrible," Elliot Zabini badgered his younger cousin. Elliot's parents were Daphne Greengrass and Blaise Zabini. Astoria, Scorpius's mother, and Daphne were sisters, making the two very good friends cousins.
Elliot, like all the other boys, looked like an exact replica of his father. He was like someone cloned Blaise, made him younger, and then named him Elliot instead.
"It's because daddy's here, isn't it," Albus Potter teased his best friend. His green eyes shone with humor as he played out his joke. "Or is your sister helping you out?"
Sniggering erupted from the group of guys at the mention of Scorpius needing his younger sister or Potion Master of a father to be able to pass his required 7th year courses.
As if on cue, right around the corner Katherine Mabel Malfoy turned with her group of 6th year Ravenclaw girls following close behind.
Katie was a very pretty girl for her age. With glowing wavy jet-black hair that she inherited from her mother and silvery blue eyes she got from her father, she really was a sight.
Along with her looks, Katie was extremely smart and a social butterfly. Always talking, never stopping. It was no secret that almost every guy in the school loved her and all the girls wanted to be her friend.
She wasn't anything like her brother. Katie was popular for being Katie. She was always nice, smart, and funny in the light airy and refreshing way that made people automatically draw themselves to her. She really was something.
"Wow," Elliot breathed. "She is one hot piece of ass." Turning around Scorpius smacked his friend on the head. His sister was pretty, but that was something he didn't like to think about. She always got the attention. Katie this, Katie that. Oh, Katie's so smart and beautiful. How come Scorpius isn't like that?
As his sister approached, a small smile broke through her lips showing off her pearly whites. Scorpius just looked away and picked up his pace to his next class. He didn't enjoy having to deal with her.
The group of Slytherin 7th years approached their Potions class with weary. Somehow Scorpius hated Potions. It used to be his favorite class until his father got the job as the Professor.
He always had to hear from someone how much of a prick his father was. Whenever one of his friends received a less than pleasing grade, they took it out on him.
Scorpius looked around the room trying to find out which house he was sharing his lesson with; Gryffindor oh dear lord. The only good thing that came out of Gryffindor being in his lesson was Rose Weasley.
"Hey, Rosie," Scorpius smiled as he planted himself in the seat next to his best friend. Best girl friend that was. Her fiery red hair laid in curls that cascaded down her back with a front section of her hair pinned back to keep it out of her face. Her blue eyes were shining with interest as she looked at the lesson plan sprawled on the chalk board before her, but as soon as she heard Scorpius's voice her head swiveled towards him.
"Hey, Scorp," Rose smiled sweetly. It was just like her. She was an all around sweet and carefree girl. She never let anything get to her too much, besides her school work. That was something she took seriously.
"Morning class," Professor Malfoy billowed in, turning all the attention on him. "Please pull out some parchment and ink so we can get started."
Rose glanced around awkwardly at her already set desk as everyone else got organized. This was one of the many things Scorpius liked about her; she was just so damn cute.
The class had ended just as fast as it began and before he knew it, Scorpius was making his way down the corridors on his way to his dorm room to get ready for the match.
"Scorpius!" He turned around at the mention of his name, only to see his little sister, Macy running towards him. Her straight caramel brown hair waved behind her like a flag and her brown eyes shone with excitement. She looked like an exact replica of their Aunt Daphne.
"What is it, Mace?" Scorpius snapped and watched as she scrunched her eyebrows together then let them go finally remembering what she had forgotten.
"I need your help wit-"
"Macy, I'm busy. Go find Katie or father," Scorpius pleaded with his little sister watching as her eyes grew big then beheld a disappointed look. Scorpius was always Macy's favorite sibling. He just never had time for her anymore. He always had something he had to do lately.
"Okay," Macy walked away slowly. Hoping that maybe he'd change his mind. "I'll go find Katie."
Scorpius nodded and began his journey once again. Who does he think he is, Macy thought. Always telling everyone else what to do and never having time for anyone but himself. Someone ought to teach him a lesson.
