The Way They Were
The worst part about writing this one was finding a decent word that began with X. Other than that, please enjoy.
Ancestry
Who they were descended from never mattered to them because as Dumbledore once said "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be".
Bloodlines
"So what if he's a Malfoy?" Al snapped, "He's never going to be like his grandfather if that's what you mean, you pompus git!"
Childhood
Scorpius never had a proper childhood thanks to his grandfather but Al made sure that all his fantasies came true.
Descendents
As a descendent of Lucius Malfoy and all those crazy pure-blood wizards, Scorpius' main fear when growing up was that he was going to become just like them.
Eggnog
When Fred Weasley II spiked the eggnog with Firewhisky, he certainly didn't expect to find Scorpius and Albus sleeping on the couch . . . naked?!
Fairy Tales
As a child, his mother would read him fairy tales about knights in shining armour who rescued blonde princesses from the tallest tower in the castle; somehow, as Albus grew elder, he fancied himself to be the knight while rescuing Scorpius from the tower of prejudice and insanity.
Gryffindor
"What's this, a Malfoy in Gryffindor? Won't your granddaddy curse you for this?" James Sirius Potter smirked.
Hell
If Scorpius was going to hell for loving Albus, he was going to go there willingly and hopefully drag his grandfather with him.
Ice
Seeing Al on the hospital bed barely breathing caused Scorpius' blood to turn to ice.
Joking
"Please tell me you're joking, please, please, please." Harry mumbled as Ginny stifled a giggle at the 'news'.
Knowledge
Al revelled in the fact that Scorpius had to use a scarf in the middle of summer because of their activities last night.
Lovers
While Scorpius did have many lovers (Female and male) before Al, their first time was the first time that Scorpius stayed in bed after the sex.
Match
Al's messy black hair contrasted sharply with Scorpius' neat blonde hair; yet they couldn't be a better match as Lily watched them sitting together.
Never
Never in a thousand years would Draco expect to protect a Potter; but for Scorpius' sake, he deflected Lucius' hex just in time.
One
Despite his grandfather's attempts at making him "normal" again, Scorpius knew that Al will always be his one and only.
Pot
Who knew it would take a pot of Devil's Snare for Al to finally admit his feelings to Scorpius in the hospital room?
Quidditch
With Scorpius as a seeker and Al as a catcher, the Gryffindor team will definitely win the Quidditch Cup again and again.
Red
Al was considered to be a gentle and harmless soul but upon seeing Lucius slap his lover made him see red all over; it took all his Weasley cousins as well as a petrifying charm to hold him down.
Slytherin
Scorpius knew he was supposed to be in Slytherin but looking at Al's smiling face made him forget about his grandfather's disappointment and displeasure.
Truth
"The truth is Scorpius is not like his grandfather, he's more of a Gryffindor than you could ever be!" Al yelled at James.
Umbrella
Al held the umbrella out to Scorpius on the day that Astoria died, it was pouring as if the sky was crying for the other Malfoy that Al respected and admired.
Veela
When Dominique Weasley batted her eyelashes and used her Veela charm on him, Al was terrified that Scorpius would succumb to the Veela charm.
Weasley
"Merlin's beard . . . doesn't this mean I will be related to the Weasleys?!" Draco realized after Al 'officially' met the parents.
Xenophile
With blonde hair and gray eyes, Scorpius could easily be mistaken as a foreigner and that's when Al knew that he was a xenophile.
Yellow
"That yellow shirt really, really clashes with your hair," Scorpius smirked, "Why don't I help you take it off?"
Zambini
Elizabeth Zambini was a pretty, intelligent Pureblood, someone that his family approved; so why wasn't Scorpius happy?
