Chapter one: We Wept
Scorpius' Point of View
Ever since I met Albus he's been my best friend, and life has been so much better. We've gone on so many adventures I can't even keep track of them all, and to think it all started on the train ride to Hogwarts;
"Father what if I don't make any friends?"
"Scorpius my advise to you is to be friendly to everyone, don't make the same mistake as I did." My dad told me. His best friends, according to him, were dumber than a brick wall.
"Yes but people judge, especially since we went into hiding for three years. Some people even believe that I'm the son of Voldemort." I sighed, this was true I heard people whispering things to their kids about how I was the son of the dark lord, phht as if, I would be very displeasing to the eye if that were true.
"I know son just….try ok? I love you very much, now go hug your mother good bye."
"Ok father I'll try," I hugged my father good bye and walked to my weeping mother, "I love you very much mother." Then I gave her a tight hug and walked to the train. My father then gracefully strode over next to my mom and rapped his arm around her.
"We love you, Scorpius Malfoy!" My mother yelled.
"I love you both!" I yelled back. Then I boarded the Hogwarts Express, I then found an empty compartment and bought every sweet they had.
I was sitting alone for a while until two strangers slid the compartment door open and carefully walked in. One looked very familiar but I know I've never met him. The other was a girl with bushy medium length mahogany hair.
"Hi, my name is Albus Potter." The boy said and then held his hand out for me to shake. No wonder he looks familiar, he's a Potter!
"And my name is Rose Granger-Weasley" She stated in a kind of bossy tone.
"Hello my name is Scorpius Malfoy, and you are welcome to stay and have some treats from the trolley if you'd like." I said taking my fathers advise.
"Oh, Albus, we better go." Rose said looking me up and down, her mom is Hermione Granger and her dad is Ron Weasley, I'm sure they have told her to stay away from me because of my father.
"Umm…Rose I think I'm going to stay." Albus stated although he sounded a bit unsure of what he was doing. I gave him a smile though because I'm greatful that he was giving me a chance.
"What? Do you know who this is? This is the son of Draco Malfoy! The guy that made fun of our parents all throughout their years at Hogwarts! And is probably a death eater in training!" She stated.
"I know who he is," Albus started to say and I started to get nervous, "he is a kid who I've just met on the Hogwarts Express. Don't you see Rosie it doesn't matter who someone's parents are, it matters who they grow to be." Albus told her. I think that they are cousins, maybe. Well if Ginny is Ron's sister and Ginny married Harry than, yes, they are cousins.
"Fine Al but I'm leaving." And with that she left.
"I'm sorry about that she always over reacts to things." He said while he sat down and grabbed a chocolate frog.
"It's ok, I'm used to it."
"Well that's no good, I don't think anyone should be treated like that." Albus said kindly. I gave him a smile in return. He truly was a kind person.
"Do you know which house you want to be sorted in?"
"Well I would like to be put in Gryffindor, but I'm fine with Hufflepuff too. What about you?"
"Probably Slytherin like my dad and mom, but I really don't care." I told him as I popped a dark green jelly bean in my mouth.
"Maybe we could get put in the same house, that would be amazing."
"Yes it would be," I said kindly but I doubt that would happen, we are too different. "Albus lets promise to always be friends even if we don't get sorted in to the same house, ok?" I held out my hand as a sign of my word.
"Ok, I Promise." He said and shook my hand.
And ever since that day we've been friends. Oddly enough we were both put in Slytherin, but it's not so bad in Slytherin with Albus there. We've actually survived 4 years! This summer (the summer before our fifth year at Hogwarts) though Albus invited me to stay at his house for the month of July. I'm very excited to stay at the Potter's they are all so very nice, and I get to see their cousins, the Weasley's! Well I guess I'm more excited to see Hugo and Hermione Weasley than Rose and Ron, we have never gotten along. She is such a know-it-all I can't stand it! She's always beating me at top of the class, it's so infuriating! And since we both made prefects this year l will be sharing a dorm with her and all the other prefects. When I was working towards being a prefect I didn't even think twice about who I was going to be working with, but now I wish I did because Rose and me can barely stand each other! And even though we are going to be sharing a room with all the other prefects and might not even work together, I will still have to see her! Albus tries to convince me that his cousin is actually nice, phh she calls me names twenty-four-seven! How is that nice? It's not, but perhaps I can avoid her, you know lock myself in my room until it's necessary for me to come out, or I'll make her want to stay in her room, either way I won't have to deal with Know-it-all Weasley. I just hope that some of the other prefects aren't so insufferable.
I'm in my room at Malfoy manor, that's where I spend most of my time at. I have to pack for the Potters'. My father thinks it's good that me and Albus are friends since him and Harry never were. My mother is just happy that I have friends, since I'm a bit of a loner. It's not that I don't like having friends it's just that I've found it very hard to make friends, I mean I've been at Hogwarts for four years and I only have two good friends that I would trust my life with, Albus and Hugo. Even though Hugo is a third year we get along very well, I mean obviously Albus is my best friend, but Hugo is definitely a fantastic friend. All of a sudden I hear my door creak open.
"Scorpius, I need to talk to you." Oh no, my father's face looks concerned.
"Ok, what's it about?"
"It's about your mother."
"Ok, what about her?" I asked nervously.
"Son there is something that I never told you, your great-grandmother was cursed with a curse that insured that she would die at a young age, and curses like that show up every other generation that's why your grandma Greengrass is still alive. Since the curse skipped your grandmother, it was past-on to your mother. She knew that if she gave birth that it would weaken her, but she was set on having you. After a while she finally convinced me that having a child would be a good thing. After you were born I wasn't sure if your mother was going to live, that's why we went into hiding, so that your mother could regain her strength. But, sadly, your mother is getting weaker again. So I need you to make sure to give our number to the potters so incase I need to reach you I can." My father has always been so good at concealing his emotions, the entire time he was talking to me his face was straight, no emotion, nothing. He tries to teach me to conceal my emotions but it's hard. I've gotten much better at it though. The only people who can really see through me is Albus and Hugo, but I try to shut everyone else out since they would hurt me anyway. But right now, I'm fighting back the tears from running down my face.
"Father is she going to be ok?" My voice was shaky and cracked.
"I hope so. Scorpius don't tell very many people about this, they might see it as a weakness."
"Ok father."
"Son, once you get back you are going to spend a few weeks at grandma and grandpa Malfoy's house."
"But I hate going there. Please I don't want to go!" I could see the look of shock in his face, but it's true I hate going there it's the worst! They always are teaching me about how to be a death eater, and how its not good to show emotion, to let people in. I mean why would they need to teach me these things when moldy-voldey isn't even around anymore!
"Scorpius it isn't a choice, your grandparents want to see you."
"Ok, fine." I said reluctantly. I honestly didn't really want to argue with my father.
"I love you very much, now make sure you have everything you need for the month." My father said as he bent over to give me a side hug. I'm about as tall as him, we look quite alike. We both have bright gray eyes, bleached blond hair and a muscular build, but he is still a few inches taller than me.
"I love you too." After my father left I went to go see my mother. I slowly opened the door to my parents' room, my mother lying on her bed taking a nap. If it were any other occasion I would not even think about waking her up, but I'm leaving tomorrow, and I need to talk to her. So, I ever so carefully walked over to her and tapped her,
"Mom, mother." I tapped her one more time and she turned over to look at me, her bright blue eyes shining.
"Yes, Scorpius honey?"
"I just wanted to say I…I…I love you." And at that I lost it, I just started bawling.
"Oh honey, your father told you, didn't he?" I couldn't even speak, so I just nodded my head. I could feel the tears falling down my face.
"Oh, come here," she motioned for me to come closer, so I did, "it's going to be ok honey. I love you very much." Then I just started to cry more in my mother's shoulder.
"What's going on in here?" I didn't even hear my father walk in.
"Draco come," she motioned for him to come over to and he did. "I want you both to know that whatever happens life will go on. Draco you are the love of my life and thinking about losing you makes me sick, so I can't imagine what you are going through thinking about losing me. Scorpius, I need you to know that you can turn to your friends for help, you can turn to your father for help, so you are not alone in this world. And most importantly I need you two to stay strong. Ok?" I could tell my father was on the verge of breaking down.
"Astoria you know that you are the love of my life, and I know I have to be strong but it's so hard." At that point my father was crying.
"Mom, I know I'm not alone, but you are my mother how am I supposed to live without you?"
"My boys you will live, I promise. It might be hard without me the first couple of months, but you will live."
"I love you mom."
"I love you Astoria."
"I love you, my two favorite boys." And then we all hugged and wept.
The next day,
"Bye mother, bye father, I will see you in August." Then I waved and hugged them good bye before I left by Floo powder.
