We are ice and fire

Chap 1
Fools and Hexes

I am cold.
I am ice.
I am what I was raised to be.
I do not exist without pride.
I am a Malfoy.

Draco Malfoy was right.

"You actually told the hat to place you into Slytherin?" he had been roaring to a boy with black messy hair and passionate green eyes that were filled with warmth that couldn't be placed in this dungeon bedroom. Two beds were placed in this room, like destiny knew.

"Yes. My father told me that you controlled your own destiny. I couldn't let you be alone now could I?" Albus Severus Potter answered him slowly and gave the dungeon an unpleasant stir. "Awfully dark here isn't it?" Albus added as calmly as he was speaking about the weather.

"But – you are Harry Potter's son. You do know what you father did when he was young?" he said seriously doubting that Albus did understand who Harry Potter was.
"It's kind of hard to not know when people always mention him as the hero of the century after telling your surname. I was amazed but your lack of reaction at first when I told you who I was… but it seems that I was wrong" he said still with a small smile on his lips. He couldn't understand how this boy still kept his smile on his lips when he was shooting discrete insults.
"And If Potter wasn't enough you couldn't miss the fact that I was named after Albus Dumbledore and he himself was greater than all the events this century alone. People will find it rather fascinating that I chose to act on Severus behalf" Albus said still smiling and looking around at their bedroom new as it was the most interesting thing in the whole world. He however couldn't imagine anyone more delusional than this green eyed fool.

"Severus – The Severus Snape? You're named after him too. You shouldn't be here Albus. You should be with all the Weasleys and Potters in Gryffindor, you're not evil and I should be alone" he roared and felt huge rage against the calmness in the boys voice and acting. Albus was interfering with his destiny to be a cold Slytherin that was driven not by friends but ambition. He had his pride, he never left without it and here he was, a Potter taking it away from him and not even giving him the curtsey of looking into his eyes when he yelled at him.

"What makes you evil?" Albus questioned now giving him a kind look like he had read his mind.
I'm a Malfoy remember?
 He couldn't answer, he wasn't evil he was just raised under the name Malfoy. It was associated to those kinds of things; it was a fact so why did this boy turn it into a question.
 "Besides, if I found you evil in the train I would change seats to Rosies and James or even Freds even if I wanted to be interrupted with firecrackers while I tried to study. But we clicked didn't we?" Albus said without feeling ashamed towards him. It was like Albus understood that he didn't have an answer to define him as evil.

"You're a fool" He said now but couldn't help but smile to himself. They had clicked, they talked about everything there was to talk about and clearly avoided to mention family because well, Albus couldn't look less alike than Harry Potter and Scorpius was a replica of his father Draco Malfoy. Albus family had interrupted them more than often in their compartment and practically begged him to come and sit with them. One red-headed girl flung open the door, rather pretty he told himself, she roared with laughter and grabbed Albus arm and begged him to come but he kindly refused and one of them even tried to bribe him, the one with the same hair as Albus but Albus didn't leave him to join them, Albus stuck around. Just like his father told him a Potter would.

"No, I'm not a fool" Albus said smiling "You are the fool if you though I would let you spend seven years in this dark dungeon alone" he added.

Scorpius had a friend, with a name as Malfoy Potter was his only friend.
Albus had a friend, with a name as Potter Malfoy was his true friend.

And then she came, it was not before 5th grade he took notice of her. But how could you not notice her when she almost hexed the human features of a hovering Rawenclaw he recognized as Leon Millent in his Charms class. Well, he didn't look as Leon Millient much longer but he could almost swear that it was him as true as the Chamber of Secrets were. It was fall and the weather outside was stormy and wild but not wilder than this force in the hall with her wand swinging while yelling all the spells she knew. He knew by heart that this was one of Albus relatives and she was called Rose. He'd spoke to her mostly out of courtesy and respect of Albus and he knew by Albus that she was goodhearted but somehow he found it heart to believe the way the Ravenclaw was now sobbing slowly in mid-air with birds attacking his body

"And that is for breaking her heart." She said with a fury that intimidated him more than anything he'd ever read about in Dark Art books at home, heard about in Horror stories of the dark days or even saw in the Forbidden Forrest.

"Let me down – I'm a Prefect" he said but his pleading didn't do him good.

"One more lifetime in detention – I don't mind but don't you – ever – hurt – her – again!" she yelled and he dropped in the mid air and hit the stone floor with a bang in front of Lily Potter's feet. The tears fell down her cheeks as Albus held her tightly but her fury was not to be missed.

"Serves you right Leon" Lily yelled from Albus arms.
"I'm okay Albus, just go – I don't want you to lose it" she said and gave Albus Prefect pin a point with her finger and then an assuring nod. He looked how Albus kissed his sister on the forehead and walked pass Rose while giving her a look with a twinkle in his eyes and then stepped over the hurt Rawenclaw boy and grabbed his arm.
"Let's go – this will turn ugly any time soon." Albus mumbled and dragged him away to their Ancient Runes lessons.

Some part of him didn't want to leave his scene as he watched the furious fire that was Rose Weasley getting yelled at by a tiny man who couldn't help but admiring her ability of making a whole human levitate.

"You don't do that – It's not right" was all she was saying and he heard her moan loudly about not being able to have Flitwiks detention because she had others to attend in the empty corridor he and Albus was in right now.

"Oh - hi Scorpius. I'm sorry" Rose said as she walked right into him. He hadn't seen her for weeks and he also had a strange feeling that is was purely intentional because the redness spread discreetly on her cheeks.
"Well – Hi, its fine" he said avoiding her blue eyes as good as he could manage. He had a strange feeling that those blues would pierce trough him and see everything he did his best to hide. She was like Albus on that part except that he didn't mind Albus knowing his deepest feelings by once glare. It saved him a lot of talking trouble.

"Have you seen Al?" Rose said looking at him. He couldn't avoid it this, their eyes met. He felt the rush, she smiled. It was a sickening feeling he admitted but he didn't mind it really.

"Actually I'm about to meet him in the Great Hall"
"Brilliant, I'll join you…" Rose said without a trace of shame and she walked ahead.

"Are you coming?" she added and shot an unsecure smile towards him.
Good – she was human at least.

"Yeah, hold up"

She was interesting, Rose Weasley. She knew things he didn't even read about and she had smile pimples on her left cheek. She even stirred at Leon like he was a hideous rash despite the fact that it had been several months since the event. She even told him that she was an exceptional goalkeeper but would give it all up to be a part of the Magical Law enforcement like her mother.
Yes, she was really interesting Rose Weasley, that's why he felt that the walk to the Great Hall was shorter than ever despite all the detours both him and her seemed to choose and that's why he couldn't do anything but feel warm and happy when he saw her bounce away to the Gryffindor table while she hummed on her own little song.

"She is something isn't she" Albus said with a wondering glare on everything else besides him. When he told his father about this feature he had told him that he inherits it from Albus Dumbledore. There was no logic in how Albus Dumbledore and Albus Potter were combined in genes but as more he got familiar to Albus Dumbledore and his legacy he saw Albus Potter adopting his features without realizing it.

"Who?" he said stupidly on purpose knowing that Albus was referring to Rose. Rose had just left them after having an intense rant on James not taking his career seriously with Albus and she had even begged Albus to take action. She even tried to make Scorpius feel like a part of the conversation and then she nodded politely towards Scorpius, hugged Albus and left them bathing in her new perfume. She was something.

"The girl you are thinking about of course" Albus said now piercing his gray eyes. They were eyes from the House of Black.

"Oh, Rose?" he said not realizing his mistake.

"So you do admit it, I'm glad. My cousin should feel flattered" Albus said with that tone in his voice that was in a distance. He did think of her a lot after the scene she caused all those months ago and after all those little chats they seemed to have after that walk alone. In the green house, in the library, on the hallways well everywhere they were alone they found the time to talk to each other.
Her fire had amazed him; she was a force herself and forbidden in so many levels.
I'm a Malfoy remember?

"I rather not discuss it and besides she is a Weasley Albus. Weasley" He said clearly. The last name made a smile twitch in the corners of Albus mouth.

"I'm a Potter." He said almost teasing Harry Potter when he pointed at his own hair "And you're a Malfoy" Albus said now grinning as his hand destroyed his carefully back-slicked blond hair that was a Malfoy trait.

"At least we are related" He said knowing that it was farfetched and he too was related to Rose Weasley. He looked at Albus who stopped behind him and as he took his hair back he waited for Albus reply to is statement.

"Ah, Phineas Nigellus Black. Heritage - maybe I should be headmaster of this place someday, seems like that's my calling don't you think?" Albus Severus Potter could be so grand sometimes that it was hard to react to him or even keep him in touch with the real, mortal world.

"You wondered off again Albus" He said coolly.

"So you do want to discuss the fact of you feeling something towards Rose Weasley. I was just testing you" Albus said smiling. He felt tricked yet amazed by his quickness. The green sleepless eyes were torturing him for his honesty.
"I do not feel anything Albus. I never said that." He said coldly. He had actually never said that to Albus, he didn't feel comfortable enough to tell anyone about his secret longing of knowing the redheaded fire that burnt a mark on his heart that particular day and all the other days he had been watching her not knowing why.

"The sleepless are always listening to the ones that had been granted with that gift" Albus said easily while they entered the Library to study. He gave Albus a "grow-down" look but sincerely hoped that Albus didn't mean that he, Slytherins Scorpius Malfoy was talking in his sleep and even worse about Gryffindors Rose Weasley.

"You are a fool Albus, you know that?"

"I recall you calling me that a while ago yes. But I'm not a fool" Albus said with a look of a child, a look he rarely had plastered on his face
"You are the fool if you think that Rose Weasley doesn't find you as interesting as you find her." Albus added and left him for a bookshelf with Potions books in a distance.
Scorpius Malfoy felt stunned from the inside out.
