Scorpius sat in his room, He threw the letter in the fire and watched it burn. He was angry fiercely justified, He wanted his sister to stop being picked on but she wouldn't tell any of the teachers or even Mum or Dad. He crossed his arms and forced himself to be calm, Then he walked out of his room and into his Mums study not caring about the wards that seemed to not even be a problem for Scorpius to get past. Hermione looked up from her paper work with a surprised expression on her face, Her eleven year old son standing there his arms crossed, His expression fierce and now Hermione knows how it feels to be in the line of fire from her own glare.
Scorpius didn't notice his mothers shocked expression "Mother" Hermione tensed, It was either Mummy or Mum with Scorpius never Mother. "Lydia had been picked on by some kid who is older than her and a Gryffindor."He stated moving up to her desk that had complex Arithmancy equations. "The boy ridicules her about Father and your relationship, You have to make it stop, Her last letter had tear stains! Damn it Mum Aren't you listening!"Scorpius yelled throwing his hands into the air and the air crackled with energy. Hermione's shock faded and she for once ignored the bad word that slipped though her sons mouth, Probably all James's fault she thought as she shook her head.
"Scorpius, Lydia needs to sort out this herself."She said Neville had told her and Draco about the boy, Knightly, and instead of the boy being shown the horrid side of her Husband he had been spared thanks to Nevilles always level headed outlook. "She's not doing anything!"Scorpius said "She is just letting that slime ball walk all over her.". "I know Scorpius, I can remember being picked on too, Your uncle Ron tried so hard to defend me got him puking slugs." Hermione stood and went to her son who was still crossing his arms "Everyone will be picked on at one time in there lives, It depends on how they react. Your father picked on me because he was able to get a rise out of your uncles." Scorpius stiffened.
"Scorpius"Hermione said she really didn't have to kneel down but she did to be somewhat face to face with her son "How about you let Lydia take care of it in her own way or.."Hermione's eye's glowed and Scorpius smiled for the first time that day.
Dear Scorp.,
You will never guess what James and Claus did! They came together to scare Knightly away from picking on me, I don't know how they found out but they did and well now I feel bad for just trying to ignore it, I should have used Aunt Ginny's bat-boogie hex in the beginning but I thought he would quit if I just ignored him.
Thank you for not telling Mum or Dad. How was your visit with Lily! You didn't pick on her or anything like that?
Lydia.
Scorpius smirked and placed her letter with Claus and James letters, He was glad that Knightly finally got the clue. "Common ground"He snorted as he folded up the letters and placed them in the locked part of his desk. "Scorpius, Lily's here!"Called his mother, Scorpius grinned "Coming!"He called running out of the door hurried to see Lily.
