Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter! Mwuhahaha. Just kidding. A girl can dream though, right?
Scorpius Malfoy always knew he wasn't like his father. It's not that he wasn't proud to be a Malfoy- he was, he just didn't always agree on some of things his dad said or did. Scorpius didn't think that he was any better than half-bloods or muggle borns just because he was a pure-blood. Even so, the very second that the sorting hat yelled out 'Gryffindor', he knew he was in deep trouble.
Scorpius just sat there with the Sorting Hat still on his head, too shocked to move. All he could think was 'Dad's gonna kill me, dad's gonna kill me..' and it kept repeating in his head like an old, broken down record. Suddenly he was pulled up off the stool by Professor McGonagall, who took the hat off his head and gently pushed him toward the Gryffindor table.
The blond-headed boy walked mindlessly past the other House tables, not daring to look at anyone, but knowing that everyone must be watching him. After what seemed to be a century, he finally made to the red and gold decorated table and sat down right beside no other than James Potter. Scorpius had heard many things about the Potters, but had never met any of them, and right now was not the perfect time to exchange their life stories. But of course, the second his bottom hit the bench, James's mouth started to blur.
"Wow, this is so weird. My dad says that Malfoys have always been in Slytherin. Hey, you're just like Sirius Black!"
James kept on talking, but Scorpius wasn't listening. That one thing James said really stuck to him. The name Sirius Black was used every once in a while by Scorpius' dad, and always his voice was full of hatred when he spoke of him. Black was one of the biggest blood traitors his father ever met, and James thought he was like him. Scorpius wasn't a blood traitor, was he?
Sorry it's so short. The next chapter will be longer. If I get reviews, that is. They make me happy :D Keep in mind that Scorpius is a naive eleven year old (not saying that all eleven year olds' are naive :P), and he comes to conclusions easily Anything that might be unclear will be explained in the next chapter.
