A/N: Okay, so I've recently developed a love for this pair so I thought I'd write some oneshots. They're probably all, or most of them, based on songs.
Pairing: James Sirius Potter/Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy (implied)
Title: You Can't Hurry Love – Diana Ross & The Supremes
Scorpius sighed as he returned to the Slytherin Common Room. 'Another date, another dud,' he thought to himself, plopping down onto the sofa beside his best friend.
Albus didn't look up from his textbook as he asked, "Didn't go too well?"
"Nope," Scorpius replied. He turned his attention to his friend. "What are you working on?"
"Potions essay," he replied. He closed his book and got up, tucking it under his arm. "Come on, I need to do more research in the library."
As they walked the corridors, Scorpius spoke up. "What if I never find the right guy? What if I'm destined to spend my entire life alone? What if I have to get 28 cats, just so I can project my love onto something?"
Albus rolled his eyes. He knew his best friend could be a drama king, but going through this same conversation once a week was getting tiring. "You'll find someone."
As they neared the library, two figures exited the doorway. Albus and Scorpius kept walking, as the other two walked past them in the opposite direction. As they got closer to each other, the two figures were revealed to be Fred Weasley and James Potter, Albus' older cousin and brother. They had a rep as the two biggest troublemakers in their generation. The two Slytherins knew that they were up to no good; just the fact that they were in the library was suspicious. Fred smiled at them as they passed and James sent a wink their way.
"I sure hope you're right, Al," Scorpius muttered as he watched the hazel-eyed boy walk away. Al grabbed his arm, leading him into the library, once again rolling his eyes.
Right before the library doors shut, Scorpius saw the eldest Potter turn around and give him a smile. And as his best friend dragged him through the library to check out numerous books, Scorpius couldn't help but remember something his mother had once told him…
"You can't hurry love."
A/N: Okay, second ever attempt at slash, and I know, it's only really implied. But how was it? It's my first Harry Potter slash attempt, so please be gentle.
