They had they're plan ready. Scorpius sat in his last class of the day, Potions with the Slytherins. He kept thinking of every little wrinkle in their plan and quickly smoothing it over. He was so absorbed in his planing that he didn't notice when the professor had dismissed them. It was only when Rose jabbed him with her quill that he rose from his seat and walked out of the dungeons with the his friends. Scorpius allowed himself to be pushed along by the crowd, still thinking. The four met up with James, Albus' older brother and, after a quick exchange between the two, walked out of the castle in silence.
Scorpius' mind was frantic now, his heart pounding.
What if they got expelled? Scorpius nearly stopped dead at this thought and turned right around and started back to the castle. No, they wouldn't, he reassured himself, their parents had all gotten away with many things and actually got house points for them.
He forced himself to keep going, but seemed to forget what he was doing once he got to the door of Hagrid's cabin. Tina shooed James away. When he didn't move, Albus gave a small sigh and brought out three galleons from his pocket. The third year boy, pleased, took the money and ran to hide in the trees. When Scorpius didn't move to knock on the door, Albus shook his head and moved in front of him to knock himself.
The door was opened by a familiar hairy half-giant. Scorpius, however, only caught a glimpse of him before being trampled by Hagrid's slobbery dog, Fang.(Fang the second, really).
The four friends greeted Hagrid and Hagrid let them inside, for it was getting colder outside. Scorpius entered the small cabin and smiled at the warm, cozy mood the place seemed to generate. All the furniture and decorations were so familiar, and Scorpius realized with a pang in his chest that he would not be seeing them again for a long time.
They began discussing foolish things, such as the weather and their classes. The conversation was torture for Scorpius to listen to, and made him hope that the minutes would go by quickly. Tina was the only one maintaining it as the others were clearly to nervous to talk. Hagrid failed to notice this, as Tina had just filled a small pause in their conversation with an in-depth discussion about the Diricawls that they were studying in their Care of Magical Creatures class. Scorpius could have sworn he caught Rose sneaking glances at her watch at least three times.
After what seem like hours (but was really only the previously determined twenty minutes) a pebble hit the window. As predicted, Fang started barking like crazy.
Hagrid followed Fang out of the cabin, muttering, "Bloody Diricawls, showin' up a' this hour..."
Everyone started moving the second the door closed behind him. Rose seized the bowl of Floo powder near the fireplace and Albus threw his untouched tea on the fire. Scorpius was the first to grab a handful of the powder and throw it into where the fire had burned just seconds ago.
He took a deep breath and hopped in to the still warm fireplace.
He let out the breath as he shouted, "Ministry of Magic!"
Cliffhanger! We hope you enjoyed it – please please review! -cmwriting
