A/N: I'm adding another chapter because Karla practically begged me to. c; So, enjoy, and I think there will be a bit more action between the boys in this one.


"Dinner!" Ginny called. Scorpius groaned. He had managed to avoid Albus so far, but now he was going to have to see the other man. Could he even look at the other man without imagining him naked? It would take a lot of self-control to not jump Albus right then and there. Sleeping in a room with him was going to be hell. He didn't even know what their sleeping arrangements were going to be!

Scorpius felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see who it was and jumped.

"Um, it's dinner time. Mum will throw a fit if you don't eat." Albus said looking at the blonde strangely.

"O-okay." Scorpius got up and followed Albus to the dining room, where they all sat down. Much to Scorpius' dismay, the only seat available was next to Albus. He sighed inwardly and cursed his bad luck. He did sit down though, seeing no other options short of sitting on someone's lap. Although it would be interesting, he didn't think it would be a very good idea.

Ginny served them all, and Scorpius dug in half-heartedly. He was just beggining to think he could make it through dinner when Albus' leg brushed his. Scorpius froze.

"Something wrong, Scorp?" Albus asked, noticing how still the Slytherin had suddenly gotten.

Scorpius glared at Al, partially for calling him 'Scorp'; he hated that nickname, and partially because it was Albus' fault he was acting like this! If Al had just gotten a towel before he showered, none of this would be happening.

"Everything's fine." he replied. After all, it wasn't like he could announce to Al and his whole family that there was indeed something wrong, and that something happened to be that he was attracted to the man sitting next to him. Scorpius ate the rest of his meal in silence, while the rest of the family chattered away.

Albus shot a worried glance at Scorpius. The two boys weren't close, but he could tell something was wrong with the blonde. He decided he would ask him about it later.

Scorpius trudged his way up the stairs to Albus' room. He opened the door to find Albus getting ready for bed in the bathroom. Shirtless. Scorpius sighed again. It's going to be a long night.

He noticed that there was now an air mattress on the floor. At least he now knew where he was going to be sleeping.

Scorpius walked over to his suitcase and retrieved his toothbrush and toothpaste before going into the bathroom to brush his own teeth. Thankfully, Albus had already finished and was now rummaging through his dresser drawers.

"Hey, do you mind if I change out here? I can wait if you do." Albus called to Scorpius, knowing some people did have a problem with it.

The blonde almost snorted. He had seen all of Gryffindor already, of course it wouldn't bother him. He almost said that he would mind, but that would just raise more questions. "Go ahead." he answered, trying desperately to keep his voice from shaking. Okay, don't look, don't look, Scorpius silently chanted to himself.

Scorpius finished brushing his teeth and walked out of the bathroom, happy to see that Albus had already changed and was getting settled in bed. At least he had enough self control to not stare at Al while he was changing.

He was worried that was about as far as his self-control ranged, though. Al still hadn't bothered to put on a shirt, and Scorpius noticed it a bit too much.

"Hey, Scorpius?" Al asked from his place on his bed.

Scorpius gulped. "Yes?"

"What was wrong earlier? You just, like, froze. What happened?" Albus sounded genuinely concerned, which surprised Scorpius. They weren't close at all. But, then again, Al was just that sort of person too. He would worry about anyone he had any connection with.

Scorpius considered telling Al the truth.

Oh, it's just I saw you naked earlier, and now just being around you puts my hormones in a tailspin. Nothing major though.

He snorted. Yeah, that would go over well.

Albus cleared his throat, obviously still waiting for an answer. "It was really nothing. I just kind of zoned out, I guess."

That answer didn't work for the Gryffindor though. Al considered trying to pressure Scorpius into telling him the real reason, but decided they weren't close enough, and he might scare the other man off. He decided he would just try to get closer to Scorpius and then maybe he could get Scorpius to tell him what was up. It looked like it was really bothering the Slytherin. He wanted to try and help.

"Okay, good night then Scorpius." Al said, content his idea was a good one. He was just trying to help Scorpius after all.

Too bad Albus didn't know that getting closer to Scorpius wouldn't really help the other man at all.


A/N: Gosh, I just set my supposed to be one-shot up for another chapter. But its such a fun story! Ugh.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this latest chapter. I will have another one up soon, hopefully. And Karla, did I please your inner fangirl? c;
