Chapter Ten

A mistake

Scorpius sat in potions class silently. He looked at his potion again. Professor Mcbain had already said that the potion was perfect but Scorpius had to check again. It was an emerald color and smelled strongly of berries and the perfume that Rose wore. He smiled slightly and moved closer to the cauldron.

"Shit!" somebody behind him said.

Scorpius didn't turn around and the suddenly felt pain on the back of his neck.

"Ow!" He exclaimed.

Albus had messed up his potion and it had exploded.

"Mr. Potter, what happened?" Professor Mcbain asked as Scorpius stood up and turned to face Albus.

Albus held his hands to his stomach. They had swollen two times larger than they had been before. Scorpius put his hand on the back of his neck and could feel it swelling as well.

"Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter, get up to the hospital wing." Professor Mcbain said and the two left the classroom.

"Thanks, Malfoy." Albus whispered as they walked through the halls.

Scorpius said nothing and walked slowly behind Albus. They reached the Hospital wing and Healer Davis asked them both to remove their shirts to see the damage the potion had done. They hesitantly complied. Albus had a burn mark on his belly but it wasn't as bad as Scorpius's neck which had received a complete, block free, splash to the flesh.

Healer Davis dabbed a bit of lotion on Albus's burn.

"Mr. Potter you may go back to class." He said. "Mr. Malfoy, I'm afraid that you will have to stay here for a while. The burn is to damaging to the flesh."

Albus stepped out of the room and walked to Mcbain's class in pain. Scorpius stared at the healer.

"How bad is it?" He asked nervously.

"I'm afraid I can't tell." Healer Davis said. "It's started to seep through your skin. You might have to go to St. Mangos."

…

Albus ran to the tower to find Teddy, James, and Dom all waiting up there.

"I thought you were supposed to lure Scorpius here." Dom said.

"Scorpius is in the Hospital Wing." Albus said. "My potion exploded in class and it hit the back of Scorpius's neck. He can't make it."

Everyone groaned. This had been planned for so long but it wasn't going to work if the victim didn't show up. Dom took a look at the camera she had set up.

"That's been moved." She said.

"What do you mean?" James asked. "The last people up here that would possibly know about this were Teddy and I."

"Someone touched it." She went over to the camera and pulled it up.

Dom gaped and passed the camera to the others. They stared at it blankly and then looked at her.

"What about it?" Teddy asked voicing what the other two were thinking.

"The Film is missing!" she exclaimed. "Someone took out the roll. Some else knows about this."

James and Teddy gaped. Albus scratched his head. Had Scorpius learned about their little plan? He couldn't have had. He was such a clueless prat. A large intake of breath reached his ears.

"Someone had been up here earlier. I heard someone." Teddy said and walked over to the cabinet he had been facing earlier. "It could have been Malfoy."

Albus shook his head.

"To have been here he would have had to skip class and trust me, he was in every class today." Albus said.

"Maybe he told someone about it." James piped up.

The four passed guesses but nothing seemed to make sense.

"Hugo!" Dom said suddenly.

Everyone looked at her. Would Hugo betray his family like this?

"What puts him in the suspicion spotlight?" Teddy asked.

Dom shook her head. She wasn't sure that her cousin would actually do that. She would be the first one to confront him.

…

Scorpius was moved to St. Mango's in the middle of the day. His father and Mother were visiting. They had brought him candy and treats but he didn't eat any. They began testing his burn as soon as he had arrived and it seemed to be growing on his neck to his back.

"Are you feeling alright?" Andromeda asked for the thousandth time.

"Yes, mum." Scorpius replied quickly even though the pain was terrible.

Healer Mason, the Healer for Burns and bites, was examining the burn as it seemed to creep down Scorpius's back.

"It's a good thing that he's here." The healer said. "if Young Scorpius hadn't been brought here than the potion that is seeping through his skin would have just escalated and he'd be temporarily paralyzed or worse."

Draco nervously cleared his throat and turned away.

"Now Scorpius, just relax as I apply this antidote to the Burn and in a few days you can head back to Hogwarts all most as good as new." Healer Mason began to dab some onto the burn.

"What do you mean, almost?" Scorpius asked.

"Well, the potion has already done some damage to your neck that cannot be repaired." Mason said.

Scorpius swallowed nervously. He took a deep breath. He couldn't be damaged forever. He had things that must be done. He was the Slytherin Seeker after all. How could he fly against James Potter being damaged.

…

"Hugo, We needed to talk." Dom approached her cousin who sat alone in the library studying out of a book written in Italian.

"Bonjorno, Dom, Come stai? I'm a bit busy right now so please make this quick." Hugo replied flipping through the book.

"Did you sabotage our plot?" Dom asked.

Hugo gaped at his older cousin.

"Plot?" He asked slowly. "What are you talking about?"

Dom starred him down. Suddenly someone crashed into her. It was Louis, holding another book written in French.

"Sorry Sis," He said to Dom. "Hugo, I think I found it."

Hugo picked up the book and flipped to a page that wasn't in French but in some other language. He laughed.

"This is it Louis." Hugo gathered his bags and the two boys rushed out of the library leaving Dom confused and alone.

…
