Author's Note: This is just a short taste of this story let me know if I should continue it.

James is 17 and a Gryffandor

Albus is 16 and a Slytherin

Scorpius is 16 and a Slytherin

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Scorpius was sitting in an unused hallway near the Gryffandor Common Room that Albus had showed him back when their relationship was new, they used to come here and make out. He was lost in thought when he heard someone walk towards him. He quickly hid his face hoping they wouldn't notice he had been crying.

"Are you still moping about my brother?" He heard James's voice ask from above him.

"I love him!" Scorpius didn't want to talk about Albus with anyone especially his brother.

"Have you ever kissed anyone else?" James asked sitting down beside Scorpius, who still had his head buried in his arms.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Scorpius looked up at James, more confused than angry.

"Close your eyes." James said as if it was a completely normal request.

"No." Scorpius refused knowing exactly what James would try. Albus always asked him to close his eyes right before he would try and get Scorpius to let him take things further.

"Come on Scor just trust me." James had a pleading look in his eyes.

"No one's called me that before." Scorpius had frozen at the name while he hated it whenever Albus would call him Scorpy. The new nickname just sounded right on James's lips.

"Really? It's a lot better than Scorpius." James smirked and Scorpius wanted to knock it right off his face.

"Hey!" James let out a laugh in a way so different from Albus's. Albus laughed like it was a gift he was giving you but James laughed like it was something he was willing to share.

"Close your eyes." It wasn't a demand this time, more like a promise. So Scorpius complied and before he knew it James had a hand behind his head and pressed his lips to Scorpius's. Scorpius didn't move it was quick and gentle something Albus never was. James pulled away but not too far before looking into Scorpius's eyes.

"You're sixteen, you should be sowing your wild oats." James said taking his lingering hand away from Scorpius.

"What?" Scorpius would be lying if he said he wasn't at least a little unclear on what James said. But to be honest he was too focussed on his lips to care much what he was saying.

"You should be experiencing new things, trying everything and anything just because you can." James clarified. Scorpius thought about this for a moment, then getting an idea.

"Okay." Scorpius leaned forward and pulled James down to him. He thought James would pull away but was pleasantly surprised when he kissed Scorpius back. Scorpius parted his lips and probed his tongue inside James's mouth. James let him explore his mouth before moving his tongue to Scorpius's lips and then with Scorpius's insistence, into his mouth. James was gentle, he didn't force anything but it was amazing, much better than Albus had ever been. But James probably knew exactly what he was doing after having been with most of the girls in his year or so was the ongoing rumour. They only broke apart when they heard a loud throat clearing.

"Al?" For a moment Scorpius had completely forgotten everything that had happened over the last few days.

"I can't believe you dumped me for making out with Emily and here you are just two days later making out with my brother!" Scorpius didn't know what to say he wanted to deny it but what could he deny, Albus had seen them. Luckily he didn't have to say anything because James had stood up glaring at his brother.

"So what if he is? He's clearly gotten better taste and besides you said it yourself he dumped you it's not like he's cheating." Scorpius stood up as Albus walked away. A part of him wanted to go after him but at the same time he needed to know why James had said all those things.

"Why did you say that?" James turned around to look at Scorpius.

"Because I meant it and now Albus will leave you alone, you deserve better than him. He's a coward who was too afraid to tell you the truth." The words hit Scorpius like a bullet. No one at Hogwarts except for Albus had ever treated him like he was worth something and now here James was telling him he was worth more than the only person he had ever had feelings for.

"Can I kiss you again?" He didn't realize what he was saying until James grabbed him by the waist and pulled him closer, wrapping his arms around him with a soft smile on his face.

"Wait..." Scorpius pulled back before James could fill the space between them.

"What? What's wrong?" James looked worried and Scorpius felt the urge to reassure him.

"Nothing, it's just can we not do this here. Al used to bring me here." Realizing what he was admitting to Scorpius blushed and looked down to his shoes.

"Yeah okay, but just so you know I was the one who told him about this place." James whispered in his ear as he walked past him.
