(A/N My second story! And there was much rejoicing. (Yay!)

We were sitting under the Whomping Willow when Scopius walked over.

"Potter," he said curtly, the comment aimed at my cousin Albus.

"Malfoy," Albus retorted, causing Scorpius to smile.

Scorpius ran over and grabbed Albus in a big embrace, and Albus returned the gesture.

"Wow, a lot can happen over summer holiday!" Scorpius remarked. "You're almost a normal height!"

Albus frowned. He absolutely hated people pointing out his height. Or rather his lack of height. At 15, he was approximately 144 centimeters, which made Scorpius, at 172, look like a giant. Despite the great height difference, they were best mates, and Scorpius even broke the family tradition of Slytherin in order to join Albus in Gryffindor. They were even Beaters together on the Quidditch team. I personally think they should be focusing on their studies rather than playing a silly game, but occasionally it works out for the better. Thanks to them, we won the House Cup three years in a row. But that doesn't mean they don't get into trouble. My uncle Harry had the wonderfully brilliant idea of giving Albus his cloak of invisibility, so now they can do all sorts of mischievous stuff without anyone knowing. Thank goodness I found out about it, or they would have been expelled in their first year after an incident involving the Charms classroom mysteriously exploding. As I was thinking, I didn't even notice Scopius staring until after about a minute. I glanced at him, and he looked away. As he did, I almost thought for a moment that I saw a blush appearing across his cheeks. Weirdo, I thought, and continued studying. After all, we only have a month until our first Potions exam, and I have to be prepared.

Well that's chapter one! I hope to get the second chapter up sometime within a week. Please review and tell me what you think! - the Warlock
