Okay so I kind of just made this chapter up as I went along so I apologise if it's no good :-/ But please carry on reading because I just needed a chapter that would fill in the time that they had left on the train. So it's quite short but I'll hopefully put up another chapter tomorrow :-) YAY! And please REVIEW! Oooh! And shoutout to my first reviewer - is that a word 'reviewer'? - ghostmctavish! GO YOU! Thanks to everybody who favorited this story as well! :-) xxxxxxxxxxx
"So what do you propose we do, Scorpius?" Albus asks, half intrigued, half disgusted by the fact that he used Scorpius' name. I put down my Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans – the trolley had come around about two minutes ago and Albus had already eaten three Chocolate Frogs, four Fizzing Whizbees and a packet of Every Flavour Beans.
"Well, having my Dad as a Father he buys you a lot of expensive things to help with school to make up for the fact that he used to be a . . . you know what." I know what Scorpius means when he says you know what. He means a Death Eater for you know who. I seem to find myself sub-consciously leaning forward with curiosity.
"So what? What did he buy you?" I ask him frantically.
"This." He says as he reaches into a bag and pulls out a small box. He opens the lid to the box and shows us what's inside.
"Scorpius no! No way. It's not possible. But . . . but how?" I shriek, aghast at what an eleven year old boy has hiding in his school bag.
"What? What is it? All I see is –"
"Don't panic Rose. Seriously it's okay." Scorpius laughs, interrupting Albus as he puts the box onto the seat next to him.
"Okay? When is that ever okay? It's illegal." I tell him.
"What's illegal about-"
"Who will know, though? I was thinking that I could give it to that groundskeeper. Dad says that he's awful. He was in Azkaban once, you know?" Scorpius interrupts again.
"Hagrid? You are not giving it to Hagrid-"
"Rose." Albus says.
"He's a family friend." I continue.
"Rose?" Albus says, louder this time.
"And the reason that he went to Azkaban was because he owned one himself." I shout at Scorpius.
"Rose? Just listen to me for a second! There's nothing in the box. I have no idea what you two are talking about." Albus shouts at us.
"What? Of course there's something in the box. Look it's right-" Scorpius stops suddenly, his green eyes staring into the box. "It's gone." He mumbles.
"It's what?" I stammer.
"It is gone."
"But . . . but how? How can it just be gone?" I ask horrified.
"I don't know. It's just . . . . the door." He sighs. "The doors slightly open. Albus didn't close it properly."
"Oh no. Well we'll just have to look for it. We can't let anyone find it." I say standing up.
"Okay. We've only got twelve minutes to find it though." Scorpius says standing up and checking his watch. "Right. Let's go."
"Excuse me, but I can't really help you look for whatever you're looking for unless I actually know what to look for." Albus states, stamping his foot and crossing his arms.
"Right." I nod. "Okay well Albus, we're looking for a dragon."
So yeah. Not very good but just wait and there will be another chapter shortly! And don't forget to . . . . . . . . . . . review. review. review. review. review. review. ! Thanks ! xxxxxxxxxxx
