Chapter 10- Only A Couple Of Days Left
Albus woke up and found Scorpius's bed empty again. Every morning Scorpius would wake up early, get ready and leave before Albus even woke up. Al tried to ask him why several times but somehow something happened letting Scorpius get away without answering his questions. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, Scorpius didn't sit with them. During classes he would go sit with other people. Albus was confused and upset. He seemed to have done something wrong. He asked Katelynn and Rose about it but they didn't know why Scorpius was avoiding him.
Thea had also stopped hanging out with him. It was probably because of her new boyfriend, Avery. They were attached at the hip. Wherever Avery was, Thea would be there and vice versa. Al didn't mind though. Just because they were going to the dance together didn't mean they were dating or anything.
The dance was only a couple of days away. His mother had sent him black dress robes a couple of days ago. Al was slightly nervous about the dance. He did not know how to dance and was afraid of making a fool of himself on the dance floor.
Al entered the common room and was greeted by Katelynn and Rose.
"You know Travis Collins?" asked Katelynn as they walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. As usual, Scorpius was there sitting in a huge crowd of Gryffindors. There were no empty seats around him so they sat at the other end.
"Guy for Transfiguration?" said Al.
"Yeah. He asked me to the dance!" she said grinning.
"Oh! Great!" Al said. He did not feel very great.
"Oooh! When?" asked Rose.
"Yesterday when we were leaving from Transfiguration he walked up to me and asked me."
"That's awesome!"
"Did anyone ask you Rose?"
"Not yet… but if nobody asked Scorpius we could just hang out together."
"Yeah."
"Have you guys noticed? Scorpius has been avoiding us… well more me," said Albus.
"Albus, I need-" said Rose.
"Al!" called James as he entered the common room. "Come here!"
"You guys can go without me, I'll catch up later," said Al before he walked over to James.
So Katelynn and Rose left. Rose, once again, was interrupted. She wondered when she would get the chance to tell Albus about his father's past and why Scorpius was avoiding him. Hopefully, she would get the chance to talk to him before the dance.
The next few days flew by and Rose found herself looking in the mirror in her knee-length pale purple dress. The dance going to start in an hour and she still hadn't gotten the chance to tell Al everything. Now the dance wouldn't be as fun as it would be if Scorpius wasn't avoiding Al. Maybe she would get the chance to sort everything out in the next hour but she highly doubted it. She still had to do something to her hair and put on her makeup. She was glad Scorpius agreed to hang out with her at the dance. She definitely wouldn't have gone alone. Knowing Katelynn, she would probably have dragged her along anyways.
Hopefully everything would be fixed tonight.
