I think it was his eyes. Grey, with little explosions of silver and bursts of blue. But not just any blue, a bright blue that pierced your soul. His eyes would change colour depending on his mood, but the blue always stayed constant.
I remember the first time I saw those eyes, I was nine years old and it was finally Christmas holidays. It was Albus' first year at Hogwarts, and James' third. Albus had written home asking if he could bring a friend over for Christmas, his friends parents had gone to France for a trip and therefore he would be spending Christmas alone.
My parent's owled back, granting their permission immediately. Whenever Albus owled us, he would always mention this mystery friend of his, all the adventures they got up to, all the mischief.
I still remember when Mum and Dad finally found out this friend's name however, we were eating dinner and Albus' owl came flying through the window. Mum read the letter allowed like she always did, "Oh and by the way!" she read, "My friends name is…" She faltered, her mouth becoming dry. Her voice cracked as she continued, "Scorpius, Scorpius Malfoy. He's really the best, you will all love him when he comes." Dad's face dropped, and he immediately got up from the table and walked out of the kitchen, mum told me to stay in my room for the rest of the night. All I heard after that was shouting from my parents from downstairs.
When we got to Platform 9¾, the train pulled up and my heart was beating fast. Only two more years till I'm on that, I thought. Albus and James ran towards us and I sprinted over and gave them both hugs, I had really been missing my brothers. I stepped back, letting my parents embarrass my brothers with their smothering, and that's when I saw him. Silently standing there, head down, his silvery blonde hair ruffling against the wind. "Hi" I said, brightly, he looked up. That was the moment. As my light brown eyes locked with his silver and blue ones, I felt this weird sensation in the pit of my stomach. Butterflies. "Oh, hello" he replied, with a hint of confusion. "I'm Lily, Albus's sister" I said, "Yeh I know" he replied with a smile. He had a really nice smile.
"Mum, dad, meet Scorpius" Albus said. I saw the colour drain from Scorpius' face, "Hi Mr and Mrs Potter" he said timidly. Mum looked down at him and gently smiled, "Hello dear, please, call me Ginny." Scorpius' eyes got brighter. "Alright," Dad said, "shall we get going?" He picked up Scorpius' bag, and we all headed off, Scorpius looking positively happier after that encounter. We apparated home, mum took James and I, while dad took Albus and Scorpius.
When we arrived at home, Albus and Scorpius immediately ran upstairs into Albus' room, laughing as they went. Mum and dad looked at one another, smiling with an understanding look in their eyes.
...
The holidays went by in a blur of Quidditch, food and laughter, and all the while Scorpius somehow whittled his way into the hearts of the entire Weasley-Potter clan. I have several memories from those holidays, but one that has always stuck with me.
It was Christmas Eve, and we were all so tired from spending the day cooking and cleaning in preparation for tomorrow that everyone was in bed. I was too excited to sleep though, so I went downstairs to the kitchen and made myself a cup of tea. As I went back upstairs I grabbed several blankets and pillows from my room, and then exited again, walking down the corridor. I tiptoed past my parent's room, and to the end of the corridor. I pushed the wall forward, it clicked and then opened.
A secret stairway.
I walked up the stairs and opened the trap-door at the top. The door creaked as a big gust wind came running through it. I stepped out onto the roof of my house. I discovered the doorway the year before when I was playing hide and seek with Albus and James. I had never told anyone about it, it was my little secret (Ok if I'm honest, I know mum and dad knew about this place, but they didn't want to spoil it for me). I come here whenever I need some peace and quiet, and after the day I just had, all I wanted to do was stare up at the stars and let the wind whistle its serene music in my ears. As I sat and drank my tea, staring out across the vast and endless sky, my thoughts roamed as I fall in and out of consciousness. My slumber was interrupted as I heared the creek of the trap door. I turned around, my heart thumping fast in my chest. I caught a glimpse of silvery, blonde hair, shining from the light of the stars. "Scorp?" I whisper, he peeks his head out of the door. "Hi," he says timidly. I smile. Out of everyone who could have come up and found me that night, I was glad it was Scorpius. He raised his eyebrows, silently asking if it was okay that he was up here, I nodded in response. He walked over and lay down next to me. We lay in a peaceful silence for a while, staring up at the sky, each getting lost in our own thoughts. "You know I'm named after a star?" Scorpius said as he broke the silence. "Well, more a constellation of stars. The Earth goddess, Gaia, didn't like this mean guy called Orion, he wanted to murder all the animals of the planet or something. So, she sent a giant scorpion to attack him. The Scorpion killed Orion, and as a reward, Gaia placed the scorpion's image in the night-time sky. He pointed to the sky. "See the scorpion?" He asked, I nodded as I looked at where he was pointing. We looked at each other, a smirk suddenly crawling onto each of our faces. We burst out laughing, neither of us sure entirely why. We couldn't stop laughing for a while, until it very slowly died down into giggles. "It suits you" I said innocently. We looked at each other, still smiling. We both lay back down and eventually fell asleep (yet another reason I know that mum and dad know about this place, there seem to be spells up that stop the cold weather from perpetrating the roof, it's always actually oddly warm). That night I dreamt that I was floating through the stars, grey and blue sparks erupting around me. It was the best dream I had ever had.
...
The rest of the holidays went by far too fast, and before I knew it I was hugging both James, Albus and Scorpius goodbye. Only two more years till I would be going off with them. As they boarded the train, a tear rolled down my eye. Mum hugged me, "Don't worry sweetie, your brothers will be back before you know it." However, unbeknownst to her, it wasn't just my brothers I was crying over. The train took off, and I ran along the platform, following it until it turned a corner and out of site. The last thing I saw before it disappeared was Scorpius' waving goodbye, his eyes glistening in the light.
