Scorpius Malfoy was sprawled across his large four poster bed, his gray matching pajamas scrunched up and twisted around his body.
Fipney the Malfoy Family house elf skittishly approached the bed.
Poking young master Malfoy's cheek Fipney tries to wake him up.
"Young master Malfoy, Fipney has been sent to wake you."
Realizing the soft approach isn't working Fipney begins to poke Scorpius repetitively and harder. Scorpius unconsciously swats his hand away grumbling and flipping over.
Fipney crawls up onto the bed, dramatically pulling back what cover are left covering Scorpius up.
"FIPNEY MUST WAKE YOU!" He yells.
an alarmed Scorpius bolts up in bed, startled by the House Elf standing on his stomach. Looking quite satisfied with himself Fipney climbs down, walking over to the door, before exiting he turns around to address a still sleepy Scorpius rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Mistress Astoria has requested your presence in 5 minutes for breakfast, Fipney must leave now." And the small elf ducked out of the room.
"FIVE MINUTES!" Scorpius exclaimed shocked completely awake. "Merlin Fipney why didn't you wake me sooner."
He hopped out of bed, pulling on the black slacks and white button down layed out for him on the vanity. Running his hands through his hair with some gel and a comb, he pulled on socks as he exited his room. Jogging around the corner and down the main staircase he found his mother and father sitting at one end of the massive dining table.
"Mother," he said kissing her cheek, "Father." He said nodding his head towards him while taking his seat and spreading some of the provided marmalade on to a piece of toast.
Astoria Malfoy set down her copy of Witch Weekly to sip at her tea and look at her son.
"Are you excited for your 5th year Scorpius?" She asked inquisitively.
"Yeah mum it'll be fine. Not like it's all that different then last year." He rolled his eyes taking another bite of Marmalade toast.
"Scorpius watch your tone, when you talk to your mother." Draco remarked smirking behind the newspaper he held in front of him.
"Yeah dad."
The rest of breakfast was eaten in relative silence as each Malfoy read their individual publications. His father, The Wizard Enquirer. His Mother, Witch Weekly and Scorpius, Seeker Weekly.
Munching on toast and flipping through the latest quidditch scores.
Chuddley Canons are 0-14 this season
Bigonville Bombers took a win against Ilkley, surprising.
Ooh, Norton Northcott of the Wasps broke a record on catching the snitch.
Norton Northcott, now that was a fit seeker. Scorpius' attention drifted from the scores to the star player. The main picture being Northcott in the air with windburned cheeks and a tight quidditch Jersey, Yeah he was bloody fit.
Scorpius Malfoy has know he was gay his whole life, it wasn't ever really a discovery. All his friends at school knew and he didn't like about it from the rooftops but he was open if anyone asked. He had only just come out to his parents that summer and they had taken it and ran. His mother, who was always trying to set him up with one of the daughters of her high society friends wasted no time turning around and trying to set him up with her friends high society sons. He wasn't interested though, he didn't feel the need to date right now, I mean he was only 16. His father didn't really react at all, which was fine he was supportive and all.
The large clock in the entryway struck the hour and snapped Scorpius out of his fit seeker induced haze. Fipney and his sister Weeny shuffled around stacking up all the dishes precariously in towers much higher than either of them and walking them back to the kitchens.
His father stood up, "Well Scorpius we best be going now if we plan on making it to Kings Cross in time."
Arriving to King's Cross they were a very well groomed picture of a family. Nothing flashy but clearly tailored and expensive. The click of Astoria's heels were muffled by the chaos surrounding them as a bumbling family passed in front of them.
"Jesus Al where's your Owl"
"Right here Mum, wait why is Lily's Cat on a leash not in its cage"
"Peony likes to have freedom."
The siblings bickered as they passed running through to platform 9 , Al flipping the bird back at Lily as their mum dotted over James's lopsided buttons on his button up shirt.
The malfoys moved forward to the platform giving civilized restrained goodbyes appropriate for the public.
As he made his way to his normal compartment, Scorpius was nearly trampled by a flash of Hawaiian shirt followed closely by some very pissed off looking 4th years.
Stumbling into his compartment momentarily flustered he found his friends.
Odie Dogwood was sprawled across an entire bench, when he noticed Scorpius had entered the compartment.
"Scorp!" He jumped up giving the tall blonde a quick hug before falling back down. "I didn't get any sleep last night, did all the advanced Potions summer prep last last night my man."
Tasi, a girl with jet black fringe and hair barely brushing her shoulders smirked, "it's not like you had 3 months to get it done." She turned to Scorpius who had now settled on to the bench. "Good to see you Scorp." She shot a caring smile his way.
An Asian girl with her jet black tinted blue hair tied into a side braid flopped over on Odie's feet. "Why did you even decide to take advanced potions anyways" she asked, looking up at a miserable sleep deprived teen in front of her. "Jeez Lila, you are literally taking advanced arithmacy, Muggle studies and Herbology." She rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously back at Scorpius and Tasi.
Scorpius, looked over at Tasi and as they made eye contact they unceremoniously burst out laughing.
"Come on Lila your just trying to make us all look bad" Scorpius wheezed.
"Says this years Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team." Tasi rolled her eyes and punched him playfully in the shoulder. He feigned injury.
These were his friends, they were a good solid overachieving bunch. They all knew the pressure of coming from old money families and they all knew they didn't have to fit their parents mold.
