"Albus, you idiot! How could you possibly loose the Marauders Map!" growled James, shoving his younger brother into a wall and cornering him. Albus struggled and kicked out at James.
"You're the idiot." he snapped. "It's a mistake, you don't understand!"
Glancing around, James let go suddenly, causing Albus to stumble and grabbed his arm, pulling him behind a tapestry.
"Why-" Albus's question was cut off by the sound of voices. In fact, he could just make out the voice of his cousin Rose Weasley, and his best friend Scorpius Malfoy. Wiggling, he managed to escape James's headlock and rolled out into the corridor in front of Rose and Scorpius. Grinning, he rose up to his knees. He was safe for now- he was pretty certain James wouldn't murder him in front of other people. Hopefully.
"Why, Rosie. My favorite cousin. And Scor. My best mate. What are you two doing around here? Wait, I thought you two couldn't stand each other?" he said, trying to keep a smile from his face.
"We can't." growled Scorpius, leaving Rose's side as abruptly as if he'd been burned.
"Scor-" began Rosie, before breaking off and leveling a glare at Albus. Scorpius paused, fiddling with his bag strap.
"What are you doing anyway, popping out of tapestries?" she asked, scowling ferociously at him. Ignoring her, Albus surreptitiously patted his eyebrows to make sure Rose's glare hadn't fried his eyebrows off.
"You know what?" said Rose, drawing closer. "Aunt Ginny finally taught me how to use the Bat Bogey Curse this summer. And guess what? I've just been dying to try it out on someone." With that, she plunged her hand into her bag and flourished her wand in Albus's direction but Albus was already gone. You didn't get to be a Chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch team by being slow, Rose conceded as she tucked her wand away.
Scorpius cleared his throat, looking at her with an odd expression on his face.
"What are you looking at?" Rose snapped, starting to turn away.
"What've I done now?" he asked, sighing.
"Nothing. I'm late for my date with David Thomas." she said, turning on her heel and walking away.
"Have fun!" called Scorpius, scowling.
