"Blimey it's hot. I'm going for ice cream. Want to come?" Scorp asked Ryan as they on the scorching sand.

"Nah can't be bothered."

"Alright then." Scorp stood up and walked off the beach to the nearby ice cream stand.

He had now been in Jamaica for almost two months. He knew that Hogwarts was on holidays now and he wondered if Rose was looking for him. He slapped his forehead, reminding himself not to think of… of her.

He dug deep into his pocket, pulling out his change and started counting it out. He groaned as he realised that he had come about a dollar short.

"Here you go," said someone behind him. Scorp turned around and met the gaze of a pale blue-eyed man who was holding out a dollar note. He couldn't have been more than twenty-five and his hair was brown with blond highlights,

"Oh no, it's ok," said Scorp hurriedly.

The man laughed, "Go on, take it. It's only money and not even much!" he insisted.

Smiling Scorp took the note, "Thankyou."

He turned back and ordered a vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce.

He stood aside and allowed the man to order while the assistant scooped out Scorp's. The man ordered the same as Scorp causing Scorp to smile slightly.

Scorp took his ice cream and started to walk away,

"Hey wait!" called out the man.

Scorp stopped and turned around to see the man jogging up towards him.

The man smiled, "Haven't seen you around here. Are you new?"

Scorp nodded, "Yeah, just got here. I'm staying for the summer with… relatives."

The man smiled, "Interesting. I'm Adam by the way. I own a antique store down the road."

Scorp's face brightened, "Really? That's so cool!"

Adam chuckled, "You like old stuff?"

"Yeah I love it. I'm Scorp by the way."

"A pleasure to meet you Scorp. That's an inter-"

His words were cut off as three police cars spend past their sirens wailing. Scorp eyed them guiltily knowing they were heading to the scene he and the other rebels had left last night when they had killed two more Hunters. Ann had insisted that they didn't hide the bodies this time. She wanted to leave a message to the other Hunters.

They had killed four hunters now, which left the other five they knew of, plus their master.

Adam sighed, "Terrible isn't it. These killings. I really wish they'd just catch the bastards."

"You think there's more than one person?" asked Scorp.

Adam nodded, "No one could kill this many people, in this little time by themselves. It has the be a group."

Or two, Scorp added in his mind.

"Horrible weather," groaned Adam, "I grew up in New Zealand. I never adjusted. From your accent I'm guessing England?"

"Yeah."

"You miss it much?" asked Adam.

"Not really. It would be horrible if I did, cause then I'd go back…" said Scorp.

Adam eyed him curiously, "Sounds like you're running boy. Running from what, that's the question."

Scorp shrugged, "Many things. None of which are important. I'm starting fresh, might even change my name."

"What's wrong with Scorp?"

Scorp blushed and mumbled, "It's short for Scorpius."

Adam blinked for a minute and then roared with laughter, "Wow your parents must really hate you!"

"They do. Or at least my dad does. My mum just plain doesn't care," he said bluntly.

Adam stopped laughing, "Sorry, I know what it's like to have sucky parents. My mother was a drunk who believed she was… and my dad locked her up and hung himself days after."

"I'm sorry," muttered Scorp.

"Don't worry about it. It's a little weird telling you though, kid, and you telling me. People don't normally just open up to strangers."

"I'm not a normal person," replied Scorp.

"Hey! Scorp over here!" he spotted Ann running over to him waving her arms.

He grinned apologetically to Adam, "Sorry, got to go."
Adam smiled back, "Right. Nice meeting you Scorp. Have fun with your girlfriend."

"She's not my-. See you around Adam." He ran off to meet Ann.

Adam watched him go thoughtfully. Once Scorp was gone he dumped his ice cream on the ground in disgust and pulled out a cigarette. As he lit it he thought about the facts.

Fact 1. Scorpius. There was only one person in the world database named Scorpius, and it was Scorpius Malfoy. A known wizarding family.

Fact 2. He was staying with Ryan Sheffield and was friends with Ann Davis, both on the list of possible magical folk.

Fact 3. He had looked guiltily at the police cars and Adam knew that two Hunters had been killed last night.

Taking one more puff Adam dropped the cig next to his fallen ice cream and stepped on it, grinding it into the ground.

He stormed off in the opposite direction of the police cars. He had business to attend to. Business like running Scorpius Malfoy off the island. He wanted to purify the island of wizard scum but for some reason he liked Scorp. And for the first time in twelve years Adam Dursley did something he barely remembered how to do. He hoped. He hoped he wouldn't have to kill the boy, but if he had to…
