1. He finds himself curious about Rose Weasley. He wants to know more about her, why she has to be right all the time, why she's so bossy, why she has such a bad temper. He's intrigued by her.
2. He is VERY smart. Before he went to Hogwarts his father taught him how to do magic, so that he was prepared for Hogwarts. Scorpius hated this; he keeps his brains a secret especially from Rose Weasley if she knew he could be smarter than her she would flip out.
3. He ASKED to be in Gryffindor. He was SICK of his fathers attitude towards slythrerin's he couldn't handle it so when the sorting hat told him he would be a great Gryffindor and asked if he wanted to be slytherin instead Scorpius in a snap decision said no.
4. Scorpius is religious. He prays every night and does a big prayer on Sunday. He didn't used to be but when he was struggling with how harsh his parents were to him he asked his guidance counselor for help she suggested pray, and it works for him it gives him hope.
5. He Prayed for Rose Weasley. When Rose was in the hospital he pray for her every night until she got better. He doesn't hate her as much as people think he does, she hates him. She is as bad as his father she judged him based on his family. But Scorpius still doesn't hate her.
6. He try's to be what his parents expect. But he's not. He'as a Gryffindor and he doesn't like to hide it but his father is strict and evil and Scorpius knows he WILL dis-own him.
7. Albus is the only one who will let him truly be himself. He doesn't judge him because he's a Malfoy, he treats him like a normal human being which is what Scorpius has always wanted.
8. Scorpius is used to people treating him like scum. His parents' reputation has sealed that and he knows that no one will see him as Scorpius only as "Malfoy". That's why he was so surprised when Albus invited him to sit with him on the train.
9. He has always had a feeling deep down that he's father knew he would be a Gryffindor. When Scorpius was only 6 years old he and his father were walking down the street and Scorpius was curious and wondered off. He found his way to a muggle park and met a muggle boy around the same age and played with him for 2 hours before his parents found him. When his father found out that Scorpius knew the boy was muggle and still played with him he looked positively terrified. He has been distance from Scorpius ever since.
10. His father had warned him against Rose Weasley too. At the train station when Rose and Scorpius first laid eyes on each other his father had pulled him away and told him to be careful around her as she wasn't the type he should associate himself with. But unlike Rose, Scorpius left all pre-assumptions at the door and went in anyway.
