Title: The Villains
Author: Relala
Beta Reader: Lady of Scarlet
Prompt: Scorpius/Ron, "I'm not my father"
"I know your type," Ron hisses, slapping the boy in the face with his words. "Malfoys. All greed and arrogance, silver and green scales waiting to shift as soon as you trust them. Leave them at your back and they'll put a knife in your side. Betrayers, all of you. I can't believe my daughter dragged something like you into my house."
Scorpius doesn't know how to respond to the words. He is a boy, only twelve-years-old, and he knows nothing of greed or arrogance. The robes of green and silver that he wears aren't a source of pride for the young Slytherin; rather, they are just colours.
What Ronald Weasley fails to realize is that to the next generation the heroes of the war are the villains. Don't they realize that it's wrong to label on sight? Don't they understand that children aren't their parents?
"I'm not my father," Scorpius whispers.
Revisions 3-3-10: Added "of" between "nothing" and "greed" so that it reads:"he knows nothing of greed or arrogance." Thank you to Schermionie for taking notice of this! ^.^
