They had just come back in and closed the door and opened it again when somebody opened it again.

"Hi Rose. We came to return your wan- wait! What the hell is Malfoy doing here?! Al, why are you sitting next to him?! Rose, Albus are you friends with him!" James was shouting by this time. His eyes flashed angrily. "Don't you know what his family did to ours parents?"

Fred, Louis and Roxanne who had come in shortly after him looked around dumbstruck.

"Whoa, James calm down." Fred said. "I'm sure Rose and Al have a good explanation.

"Er, Rose that's your cue to yell out the speech…" Al said with a weak smile.

"Well? You've got some explaining to do. Both of you!" James said angrily.

"Well James, I don't see how you've got a right to just barge in here and tell me who and who to hang out with." Rose said coolly. "Sure, you may be my cousin but I am an individual person who has rights and Scorpius," (James's eyes flashed dangerously at the use of her first name) here is my friend and he is a wonderful person and his family changed after the war so stop insulting him and get out!"

"I could say the same James. Ma- Scorpius has been more normal than you are now-"

"And much more polite!" Rose added.

"Well James, looks like Malfoy has convinced both of them. Why don't you give Scorpius a chance?" Roxanne said. She had seen no malicious intent on the Malfoy boy's face.

"Why don't you see what he's actually like before judging him?" Fred suggested.

James hesitated for a moment. "Fine, but you had better prove that you don't intend to harm my brother and Rose in any way! If you hurt either of them in anyway, I swear I'll kill you before you can say quidditch!"

"I don't need to prove myself to anyone, least of all you Potter! But for the sake of my friendship with Rose and Al, I will!" Scorpius declared angrily.

James glared at him before turning around to leave.

"Wait James, our wands." Rose called out.

"He tossed them over his shoulder without bothering to turn backand stormed out. Roxanne shot them an apologetic look before following James out with Fred. Louis stopped to say a few words to Alice before hurrying out, slightly red in the face.

Rose sighed. "Sorry about that Scorp. James is just- well he's overprotective and he doesn't like Slytherins and since your dad was – well yeah."

"I also apologize for my brother." Al said. "He'll come around once he gets to know you."

Scorpius nodded. He had been angry at first about what James Potter's accusing, but now he realized he would have to face more of it at Hogwarts…

A/N: Sorry this chapter's super short, but I wanted to get James's reaction over and done with. Also I am really sorry about the lack of updates I'll try to be more regular from now on. But keep in mind, the more reviews I get the sooner I will update *wink*

Thanks for anyone who reads and reviews and follows and favourites.
