"Perhaps you should tell the boy."
"Are you crazy Dean? He wouldn't know what to do with this information!" Harry sat down in the shiny silver chair in the doctor's office—Dean's office.
"Harry, Albus can get pregnant. If I could get pregnant I would want to know so I'm always safe."
"Well he isn't doing anything, Dean. I know my little angel." Dean sighed and gave up. He knew well enough to never pick a fight with a Gryffindor, especially if the Gryffindor was Harry Potter.
"Fine Harry, you win, don't tell him what purely affects him, make sure he never knows!"
Harry glared at Dean before he sighed.
"Dean, I'm scared."

"Wake up sleepy head!" Scorpius shouted to Albus as he lay under the covers haphazardly.
"Noooooooooo! I'm don't wanna get up," he shouted. Draco walked into his son's room. Scorpius gave his father a look for help, Draco smirked at him.
"Not even for chocolate chip pancakes, Ali?"
Suddenly Albus' head popped out from under the covers. He ran downstairs as he called, "food!" Both Malfoy's chuckled lightly, almost in unison.
Just as Scorpius was about to head downstairs as well his father pulled him back. "I know what you two did Scorpius, and quite frankly I astounded at you. How could you take his innocence from him, did you hurt him, do you know what could happen to him, boy!" Draco's vice grip snuck into his son's arm leaving half crescents into his flesh. Scorpius didn't flinch.
Scorpius slowly removed his arm out of his father's death grip, looked him straight in the eye, schooled his features, and glared. His exact twin wore the same expressionless expression as he spoke. "Well," Draco prompted.
"Yes father I did indeed know what could happen to Albus we were not protected. His father already told me the consequences of our actions if we did not do so, and seeing as I am not ready to be a father nor, do I feel that my partner is ready to be a mother we were protected. We consummated our love that night. I asked him a millions time before if he were sure and he claimed he was. I love him very deeply, though I doubt anyone will ever believe me because we're so young. Nevertheless, make no mistake father; I would rather die than hurt that boy. I mean that. If I were to make an unbreakable vow upon it I would live forever. This love can't be stopped and it won't be. I won't let it." Draco looked positively stunned by his son's heartfelt monologue. "He's my everything, father."
Draco nodded and walked out of the room. He was utterly silent, except in his whisper of, "it's true".

When Scorpius joined his boyfriend downstairs he was greeted to the sight of him shoveling food down his throat.
"Albus I didn't know you were suicidal." Scorpius said nonchalantly.
Albus' eyes popped out of his head. "I'm not, Scorp."
"Really?" Scorpius raised a blond eyebrow at him. "Then stop trying to kill yourself and eat like a normal human being." Albus smiled at him.
"I can't eat like a normal human being Scorp, because I am extraordinary!"
"You know," Draco butted in, "the word extraordinary is literally extra and ordinary put together. Seeing as this is the case, there should be nothing stopping you from eating like I haven't been starving the you for weeks." Scorpius busted out laughing.
"Oh, point to Malfoy!" Scorpius fist pumped. Albus groaned. "What's wrong baby, tummy ache?" Scorpius' entire demeanor changed in a matter of seconds. He went from teasing to first time father.
"No," Albus started, "I'm just dating the biggest dork in all of the world that's all." Albus laughed at his boyfriend's expression.
"Oh, that's all is it? Oh, just you wait Al, wait till I get you back at your house I will tickle you until you can't breathe and—"
"Will you two stop bickering like an old married couple and eat." As Albus' hand reached for his food, Draco pulled his plate away from him. "Not you, l think you might explode."
Scorpius smiled into his bacon as he tried to stifle his chortle. Albus wacked him on the back of his head. Draco smiled at the two.

Three weeks later Albus was, again, practicing for his audition. It was less than a week away, but Albus was starting to hate his song choice now. It didn't matter to him that he sounded great. He couldn't get into the song anymore its lost its touch. Albus frowned. "What's wrong Albie, do you want to take it again?" Harry asked patiently. Albus wanted to scream.
"Actually dad, can we be done for the day?" Albus was bone tried. His love was starting to fade for preforming. It was his dream and he wanted it, but now? His father was pushing him so hard it didn't even seem as if it were for him anymore. It was for Harry.
"Al there's still so much to do, I don't know if—"
"We're done for the day dad." Albus walked away. He knew he'd get hell for walking away from his father, but here and now, he didn't care. It had to be done.

"All aboard who's going aboard!" Albus turned towards his father, kissed his cheek, and hugged him before jumping back onto the train for the long, cozy ride to Hogwarts. Albus turned and found Scorpius next to him. Where he always was, Albus thought.
"Come on, let's find our friends." Scorpius whispered into Albus' ear slowly. I haven't seen you in weeks I need a little one on one time with you." Scorpius bite his boyfriend's earlobe. Albus giggled and hugged him.
"You'll get yours, don't you worry big boy," Albus drawled. "Come on I bet they're all dying to see us again!"
"You do know that the second we find their compartment they're going to ask if we had sex, right?" Scorpius whispered conscious of the throng of excess ears around them.
"I know, Scorp, but they're our best friends. If we can't tell them than we shouldn't have done it." Scorpius looked into Albus' fire emerald eyes and saw nothing but seriousness absorbed in them.
"You're right. Let's tell them." Their eyes met. Scorpius leaned down to kiss Al. The world disappeared into utter darkness and all was silent as their lips edged closer and closer to each other. They were so close to touching. Scorpius could almost count all the shade of green in Albus' eyes. A soft pair of lips descended upon his own briefly, before being ripped apart.
"Hey guys!" A girl with bouncy brown hair cried. "We've been looking all over for you. Come on, we've got questions, you've got answers—"
"Oh she so has Herpes, look at her trying to hide it!"
"Horny bitch—"
"—Anyway," the brunette butted in again. "Come with us before all these wanna be Victoria Justices come on. You both know I can't stand the sound of their voice!" The foursome led the couple into an empty compartment, currently sporting a great country lakeside view of London.
"So," a boy started, "spill, everything."
Albus and Scorpius gulped.
It was going to be an embarrassing, long ride back to Hogwarts, indeed.
