The Silver Trio and the Last Time Turner:
Year One
Chapter 3: Surprises! Surprises!
"Harry Potter, your father," Scorpius said indicating to Albus, "was the one who killed Voldemort."
"WHAT?" Albus and Rosie exclaimed.
This was good. A little too good, Scorpius thought, Who would've known Harry Potter wouldn't have even told his own kids who he was...
"Yes..." he drawled, "Shocking, I know..."
"Wait what about my parents?" Rosie asked her eyes lit up in curiosity.
"Your parents were Harry's sidekicks. Your father was his best friend. And your mother was the brains of their misadventures..."
Albus sat thinking for a moment, "Hmm... I s'pose, it all makes sense now."
Rosie sat in silence for a few moments, letting it all sink in, "I still don't believe you."
"Yeah… That's fine." Scorpius replied bluntly, "So Albus do you-"
"Wait no. Don't change the topic!" Rosie said her face scrunching up in thought, "Who has told you all this-"
"My father in his drunken rages of course…" Scorpius replied rolling her eyes at this pathetic ginger… How many times must he tell her that his dad is an alcoholic?
"But that's not a reliable source-"
"And yet it is. There are plenty of books with your uncle's face plastered on the cover-"
"That... That's not true! You're lying to us!" Rosie exclaimed her voice becoming shrill with denial.
"Nope. Why would I do that to you, Miss Weasley?" Scorpius replied raising his hands up in fake defeat, smirking.
Albus turned to Rosie, "They probably didn't tell us for a good reason-"
"No Al, they wouldn't. They would never lie." Rosie replied. She turned to Scorpius, "Yeah, but-"
"Yeah, but nothing." Scorpius said stopping her rebuttal, "Don't believe me? Fine. But look in your book, Hogwarts-"
Before he could finish the Weasley girl popped open her trunk and pulled out her book, Hogwarts: A History-Revised Edition. She looked at it curiously, looking for any signs on the outside that indicated that Scorpius was telling the truth.
"Well go on!" Scorpius quipped, "Open it!"
Rosie looked at him with contempt and attempted to flip open her book, but it would not budge.
Scorpius stood, "Here let me see it..." he said slightly annoyed. How hard could it be to open a book?
"It refuses to open." She stated rather irritated, "Here you try."
Scorpius took the large book into his pale hands. He attempted to flip to page one, but it would not budge. "Hmm..." he sighed. It obviously had a locking charm cast upon it. "Let's try this," he said pulling out his Willow wand from his pocket.
This was all too much for one Albus Severus Potter to handle.
Currently, he was sitting, barely paying attention to what Scorpius and Rosie were squabbling about, lost in his own confused thoughts.
Scorpius was quite nice and all, but his dad couldn't have been the one to stop Voldemort all those years ago. Could he?
His dad was an Auror and all, but HIS dad? He taught him to ride a broom stick. He raised Albus, James, and his baby sister Lily. He's OLD... As in 35 or something. That can't be right. His dad... Cool? Famous? Or had he missed the signs?
...But then again, he never remembered anyone telling him about who stopped Voldemort.
Scorpius and Rosie were trying to pop open her Hogwarts: A History-Revised Edition book. And Scorpius had just pulled out his wand.
"Alohamora!" he said, pointing his wand at the book's locked pages. Suddenly, the book flew right from his hands and headed right toward Albus's head...
…Albus blinked.
"Ugh! Great job MALFOY!"
"Okay, yes I understand the book hit him right in the noggin, WEASLEY, and yes, he went out and saw stars but I don't understand what the big deal is!"
"It's that you shot the book right at him!" Rosie exclaimed, making wild-over exaggerated arm movements.
"It was not my fault!" Scorpius yelled back, "Blame your parents for not telling YOU the truth and locking that book! AND putting a firing hex on it!"
"DON'T YOU DARE BRING MY PARENTS INTO THIS SCORPIUS MALFOY." Rosie jeered, giving Scorpius an icy glare.
"I already did." he replied his eyes narrowing and his voice becoming hostile.
They shot daggers at each other and stood in silence, when suddenly Rosie pounced on top of him and attacked him, and they both fell to the ground.
"GET... OFF OF ME!" Scorpius yelled trying to get Rosie off of him.
"NOT UNTIL ALBUS WAKES UP! OR YOU TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MY PARENTS!" Rosie sneered.
"AND I WON'T PUNCH YOU IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING BECAUSE REAL MEN DON'T PUNCH GIRLS!" Scorpius shot back, attempting to block his face from Rosie's punches.
Albus was sitting watching all of this and felt he needed to make his awakened-presence known now.
"Ahem..." he said, clearing his throat.
They both looked up, eyes wide in horror. Rosie quickly stood up blushing scarlet while brushing dirt off her school robes.
"Erm..?" Albus started.
"SOMEONE thought I KILLED you with that book..." Scorpius stated, still sprawled on the floor pointing at the charmed book on the other side of the compartment.
Rosie turned a deeper scarlet, "Yeah well,-"
Suddenly the compartment door flung open, and a girl with long, brown curly hair burst in.
"SCORPIUS MALFOY!" a shrill voice said.
"Oh uh... Hi... Sophia." Malfoy said awkwardly, his face turning as red as Rosie's hair, as he stood up brushing the dirt off of his expensive looking clothes.
"Where have you been for the past hour and a half? I've been looking everywhere for you and I-" she suddenly seemed to notice Al and Rosie awkwardly standing in the compartment as well. "Uh... Scorp... Who are these people?"
"Uh..." Malfoy began. He quickly gave Rosie a sympathetic look and winked at Albus. "They're my new friends I just met today!" he said grinning while awkwardly wrapping an arm around both of them.
Rosie glared at him, What. A. Prat. He's just AS BAD as James…
Scorpius caught the look she shot him and jabbed her slightly.
You owe me one. She glowered icily with her brown eyes.
Fine. His look replied and smiled at Sophia, trying his best to convince her that what he had spoken was true.
Rosie reluctantly smiled at Sophia. She didn't COMPLETELY understand why this stupid boy was hiding from her, although she was beautiful she did seem... Well... a bit... Clingy- to say the least.
Sophia nodded, unconvinced, "I see…"
"Uh…" Scorpius began, he was really losing it.
Suddenly Al spoke up, "Yeah! Really… My dad's Harry Potter…"
Sophia tilted her head, squinting examining the messy haired boy in front of her, "Hmm... You... you must be Albus! His son! I see the resemblance!"
"Err... Uh... Yeah…" Al replied awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable with the thought that some he never met knew his name, "Well... you see... Uh… Scorpius here," he said as he indicated toward the other boy, "And my cousin Rosie and I were having a really in-depth conversation and uh… We need you to leave. Now..."
Sophia's eyes grew wide, "Oh! Yes! Of course!" just as she turned to leave, she whipped around again, "Why Scorp were you on the ground if you were having SUCH an important discussion?"
Scorpius's eyes grew wide, "Uh... I was... I was simply stretching. Yes. That's it. My legs were getting rather sore you know and-"
Sophia waved him off, "Alright, I'll take your word for it. See you later Scorp…" and waltzed out of the compartment.
Rosie shrugged his arm off of her, "Was that really the best you could do?"
He frowned, "Well, in case you haven't noticed she's a little possessive of me. So what do you think would happen if I said to her, 'Oh! I can explain that! Miss Weasley over here pounced on me and knocked me to the ground because she thought I killed her cousin with a book." He said the last part heavily with sarcasm.
The last part made Rosie laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked looking a bit concerned.
"Nothing..." Rosie responded.
Scorpius shook his head, "Oh and thanks Albus, for the whole cover up with your dad…"
"Oh yeah!" Al replied, "No problem buddy." He smiled, "Though it was a little strange using his name to shoo that girl away…"
"Yeah, well you might have to get used to it…" Scorpius smirked.
The three resumed their old seats, Rosie picking up Hogwarts: A History- Revised Edition.
Al leaned close to Rosie looking over her shoulder skimming the chapter about the Second Wizarding War.
Al's face scrunched up in concentration.
Scorpius snorted, "Geeze Potter, you look like someone just gave you an Ancient Runes text book."
Both Rosie and Al looked up from the page Rosie was reading and Rosie began to laugh. Al sat slightly confused, his face still contorted but not as bad as before.
Making new friends isn't bad… Even if Dad DID insist on not being TOO friendly…I'm not being TOO friendly… Just friendly… Right?
"So did you find it yet?" Scorpius asked. How hard could it be to find ONE page about their parents?
"Hmm…Rosie scanned the Table of Contents of the Second Wizarding War with Albus leaning over her shoulder, "Ah… yes... on page 7077…"
"Of course…"
Rosie pulled out her wand and tapped the book saying the page number.
"Woah." Albus said his green eyes huge with awe, as the book flipped the page.
There, in all the lightning bolt glory was a photo, of a younger, non-graying Harry Potter.
And standing beside him, were younger Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
"See… What did I tell you?" Scorpius asked rhetorically, "There they are your parents…"
Rosie looked up from the page, "Yes, I can see that…" she murmured as she scanned the rest of the section, "Interesting… So they went around destroying… Horcruxes?"
"Yes... Apparently..."
"Oh.. do you know what-"
"No, I don't but I'd have figured, YOU would."
Rosie blushed, "Well…" she said closing the book, "I'll have to Owl mom and dad about this…" she said getting up to retrieve a sheet of paper and a… pen? Was that what it was called?
"Hey!" Albus said looking slightly miffed, "I wasn't done reading that yet!"
Rosie rolled her eyes, "Well here then…" and gently tossed the book back to Albus as she walked back to her seat.
Rosie began to write quickly, while Albus flipped through the book and finished reading the section.
"So Albus," Scorpius began, "Do you play any Quidditch?"
Albus's eyes lit up, "Of course! Always seeker!" he said proudly, "You?"
"I also prefer to play Seeker-"
"Oh please," Rosie interrupted, "Everyone knows Chasers are the best."
Both Albus and Scorpius stared at her, "Uhm... Let me think about it... No."
"Chasers handle the Quaffle and score the points," She replied back.
"But Rosie, the Seekers end the game!" Albus pointed out.
These two were definitely keepers.
A/N: Well that was successful. Anyways, they'll be at Hogwarts in the next chapter for sure!(: And that last line was a pun… Ish. No, never mind. NO pun intended. But I don't mean they make good Keepers in Quidditch… Scorpius is simply using the old saying(:
P.S. Next chapter will definitely include Hagrid and the Sorting Hat(;
P.S.S. If you review, I reply(:
