Through the Dark

The beginning of the Christmas Holidays started the same way as it did every year for the Potter-Malfoy family. Amalie and Harry picked up all five children from the train station, they drove back to Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, while telling stories of the past four months they spent away, and then they had a lively meal as a family. For James, Albus, and Lily, it was just like any other Christmas Holidays…however for Scorpius and Naomi, it was completely different to what they were used to with their mother. Nevertheless, the first day back went flawlessly with no issues at all for the family of seven.

"Can I come in?" Scorpius asked, poking his head through the crack in Albus' door. Albus was sitting on his bed working on his holiday homework when Scorpius came to sit next to him.

"You're working on your homework already?" Scorpius exclaimed. "We just got home four hours ago."

"I appreciate your surprise," Albus sassed. "If I get it done tonight I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the holidays. You should do yours too."

Scorpius nodded. He supposed Albus made sense, except for the fact that they had only just stopped studying for exams. After an hour or so, Scorpius looked up from his completed homework and spotted that his companion had thrown his shirt on the floor and was now shirtless. 'When the hell did that happen?' he thought to himself, secretly checking the other boy out.

"Are you enjoying the view?" Albus smirked, looking up from the homework he was still working on. Scorpius froze, wondering how he could just dash away. What was he supposed to say? It wasn't every day that your best mate, who also happens to be your foster brother, catches you checking him out.

After a few seconds Albus chuckled. "You should see your face! Geez Scor, you look like you're going to have kittens!"

Scorpius glared at the other boy, his pale cheeks suddenly a bright shade of crimson. "Shut up."

Albus giggled, moving his homework over to his desk. He hauled Scorpius closer to him and captured his lips into a chaste kiss. Scorpius was taken back, but it didn't take him long to kiss the other boy back, and they only pulled away when air became necessary.

"His lips on his could tell him better than all of his stumbling words," Albus proclaimed, and Scorpius slapped him on the arm.

"Did you just quote Margaret Mitchell to me?" he mocked, raising his brow, causing Albus to laugh.

"Maybe I did."

Scorpius pondered for a second. "I can get used to that," he declared, laying his head on Albus' chest.

Albus snickered and wrapped his arms around Scorpius. "So…does this mean that we're together?"

Scorpius blushed. "Do you want it to mean that?" Albus nodded. "Then yes…yes it does."
