"What? Wait, you call my brother Allie?"

"Yeah, I may have forgotten to tell you that part about your brother coming to me for advice about being gay, staying in the closet from your entire family and he is apparently seeing my son."

"Allie's gay? Allie's gay with Scorpius."

"I'm guessing. They are stood at the door, holding hands, in shock."

I turned around. The second Allie caught my eye, he snatched his hand away and bolted off. Scorpius' eyes filled with tears.

"I'll go, he's my brother, this is my fault. I'll talk to them both." I said climbing to my feet.

"This isn't your fault."

"If I had told him I was gay, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"You don't know that."

I rushed over to the door and bobbed to Scorpius' height. "Scor' I'm really sorry. I'll find him, I'll explain. It will all be okay." I hugged him quickly then stood up and ran down the corridor Allie had gone through.

I ended up stood at the wall that hid the enterance to the Slytherin common room.

"Look, I can't believe I'm doing this. But I need to talk to my brother, I'm not even a student here anymore, I'm not causing trouble. I'm trying to fix something." I begged.

The wall shifted, enough to let me slip inside. There was a group huddled by the fire, no sign of Allie.

"Have you seen my brother?"

"Yes, he ran upstairs. His dorm is the third door on the left."

"Thanks." I called as I bounded up the stairs.

I knocked on the door.

"Fuck off."

"Allie, I'm sorry. Please let me explain."

"I said fuck off."

I pushed the door open to see Allie curled in a ball on his bed.

"Allie, I'm sorry. I should have told you I was gay. You shouldn't have had to find out like that."

"I don't even care."

"Is this because he's Scorpius' dad?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Allie, I'm sorry. We have to talk, is it because he's Scorpius' dad?"

"What do you think?"

"I think that it is, but I need you to tell me that."

"Yes. Of course it is." He snapped.

"Allie, I'm so sorry."

"No you're not, you've got him. Its just me that loses out."

"Allie, it was an accident. Yes, I've had a huge crush on Draco for years but I never imagined anything like this would happen."

"It doesn't matter, its happened and now I lose Scorpius."

"Allie, you don't have to lose him."

"Yes I do, I'm going to be related to him."

"Not really. He'll be my step-son, there's no such thing as a step-nephew."

"So its serious?"

"He's a werewolf, everything is serious."

"Okay."

"Allie, come downstairs."

"I don't want to. I want to stay here for a bit. I'm sorry for being stupid Jay."

"It's fine Allie. See you later." I ruffled his hair and left.

I walked back down to Draco's room and the portrait allowed me entrance. I saw Draco and Scorpius sat on the chairs in front of the fire.

"Hi James." Scorpius smiled over Draco's shoulder.

"Hey Scorpius."

"I'll go now Dad, see you at dinner. Bye James." He stood up and started to walk past.

"Just one second, I need to have a word." I stepped out of the room with him.

"Yeah?"

"Scorpius, I'm sorry about earlier."

"Its okay."

"Allie is really upset. He really likes you, he ran off because he is terrified that he'll lose you."

"Oh."

"Scor', you know he comes from a long line of Gryffindor's, the bravest of the brave and those with the emotional range of teaspoons. Go talk to him?"

He laughed. "Thanks."

"Go talk to him though?"

"I will."

"See you round kid." I turned away and walked back inside Draco's room.

"Hello gorgeous." I said as I dropped into Draco's lap.

"Don't get sappy on me James."

"How was that sappy? Would you prefer me to call you a sex god or something?"

"Well."

"Cheeky sod." I play smacked his chest.

"Come here you." He slipped a hand behind my neck and pulled my lips to his. "So, how's Allie?"

"Not happy. He really likes Scorpius."

"I guessed."

"I have to go talk to my cousins, I need to ask Rosie something." I said climbing off him.

"You mean your replacement as potions prodigy."

"What?"

"You, former ace of potions have been replaced by your smart arsed younger cousin."

"Fuck that shit. I want to be your apprentice."

"Where did that come from?"

"I'm the only one that's going to study under you."

"James, there are much more interesting things to do under me than study, but as you wish."

I snorted. "Pervert."

"You like it."

"Mmmm, I won't be long."

I left his rooms and began the climb up to Gryffindor tower to find Rosie and Roxanne.

I approached my former common room slowly.

"Mister Potter, it's a pleasure to see you again." The Fat Lady bubbled.

"Thank you. I take it you haven't missed the trouble I caused?"

"No, that is true. What's all this I hear about you and a certain Head of Slytherin?"

"I would rather not discuss that now, I need to speak to my cousins, ma'am."

"Oh go on up then." She said letting the portrait swing open.

"Thank you." I stepped inside and went to find my cousins.

Thankfully Hugo was in the common room. "Hey, Hu' have you seen Roxie?"

"She's up in the dorm I think."

"Cheers man."

I walked up the stairs to Roxie's dorm. "Rox, you in there?"

"JAMES!" She yelled flinging the door open and dragging me inside.

"Roxie, whats up?" I asked seeing her eyes were puffy and red.

"I, I've done something stupid."

"Roxie, what is it, what's going on?"

Roxie is 2 years younger than me, the next youngest of our clan after me. Rose and Allie are another year younger than her. Then Lilly and Hugo are another 2 years younger than them. But even though we were 2 years different we were always really close.

"James, I think I'm pregnant."
