Title: The Rebirth!

Pairing: ScorpiusxAlbus, very apparent DracoxHarry, one-sided JamesxRose, TeddyxVictoire

Fandom : HP

Notes: Post Series/slight AU. Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Black [Malfoy] are eleven and are heading to Hogwarts for the first time; set after the Epilogue in Undeniable. They had been inseparable from the day Scorpius first saw Albus-the day he was born. They are half brothers and very powerful magic ties them together. Is Albus really okay with belonging to Scorpius? Or is he just going along with it to appease his brother, hoping that Scorpius will find someone else? What is the magic that binds them and their friends? What secrets has Scorpius always known that he tries to keep to himself?

A/N: Happens partially concurrently with chapter 11 of Not old yet!

Chapter 10

Scorpius dozed off in History of Magic…

He was trapped…

He scrambled fighting and thrashing but the prison remained…

Prison of air…

He felt panic rising in him.

He couldn't be back here.

That body and form were dead.

Vivian was dead…

The magic she'd used to pull him from his mate shattered when the prison was erected.

Scorpius swallowed, closing his eyes.

Not real. Not real.

He only had to wake up.

Yet he found himself unable to.

Asp…

He needed him like man craved water and food.

He needed it like papa needed dad…

Help…someone…

Please…

XoooooX

Rose stood up; dropping her quill, knocking over her ink and her chair clattered to the floor.

Professor Blaise frowned at her, "Ms. Weasley? Did you have something to say?"

They were in the middle of a lecture on human transfiguration, a subject that fascinated her.

She frowned, "Wrong…the magic is wrong…something is terribly wrong." She shook, "I'm sorry. I have to go."

Rose ran, faster then she ever believed she could being more bookish then athletic, more like her mother then her father.

She followed the source of the magic, it was powerful but it had an inverted feel.

Running faster then she ever believed she could. She threw open the door to the Third Years' History of Magic class.

The door opened with wandless magic.

Rose ran to find Scorpius on the floor, surrounded by Hugo, Lily and Albus.

Professor Binns was complaining in his dreary mind numbing way about disrupting classes.

Rose snapped, "Be gone from this place. You are no longer needed or welcome. Leave!"

The ghost glowed blue and then disappeared in a flash.

She fell to her knees in front of Scorpius and took his hands from Albus.

Cold, ice cold…

"Damn it Scorpius! What is wrong with you?" she grabbed Albus, "My wand, take my wand. If I do not emerge with Scorpius awake in fifteen minutes you and Lily must cast together the most powerful Finite Incantatem you can. Promise me?"

Albus swallowed, "What's wrong? Why won't he wake?"

Rose reached out to Scorpius, "Merlin…Dark Curse." She shook, "Someone cast a fear curse. An extremely powerful one."

"How do we break it?" Albus whispered.

"You can't. You don't have the power yet. I don't even know if I can." Rose chewed on her lip, "If you can't end my spell Hugo will have to bring James. If anyone will make me come back, it's him."

Lily nodded, "Alright. Do what you have to do."

Rose placed one hand on Scorpius' heart and the other on his brow, whispering a spell so ancient that it wasn't written anywhere.

Her consciousness was tugged from her body and she collapsed on top of Scorpius' prone form.

XoooooX

Scorpius rocked, his arms around himself. This wasn't supposed to happen! The prison vanished, the magic dissolving when it's prisoner died.

That was the only escape: death.

He was only thirteen, not even fourteen. He wanted to live! Asp needed him. Without him everything would perish.

The two worlds would be torn asunder and the earth would perish in fire.

That was only one future: a future that Scorpius refused to allow to happen.

Then arms were around him.

"Scorpius?"

He looked up to see the glowing familiar form of Nimue: tall, shapely, with flowing red gold hair that flowed like waves and shimmered with magic.

"Ni…Rose! How did you…"

"Hush Scorpius this isn't real. It may feel real but it's just the effects of a curse. One that brings your greatest nightmare to life: the return to your prison. You are free of that. You are Scorpius not Ambrosius. You may have Ambrosius' talents and memories but you are Scorpius Black, the second born of Harry Potter and firstborn of Draco Malfoy. Albus needs you, he's been kneeling at your side pale and upset because he doesn't know how to help."

"How did you know Rose?"

"Your Magic turned inside out, instead of hovering around like a cloak it was drawn so far into you that I felt it in Transfiguration."

"Sorry to pull you out of class." Scorpius sighed.

"I am the second most powerful person in this school. We're family, what other reason do I need to help you?"

Scorpius sighed, "I wonder who would do this?"

"Hopefully someone that doesn't know who you are." Rose replied in a worried tone.

"I'll be more careful." Scorpius sighed, "There is so little protection in a school. It's silly how many people believe it's safe. Being Draco Malfoy's son, the person who cursed me could be anyone. Somehow I don't think the Headmistress would be any help. Could you tell when it was cast?"

"In the time between classes." Rose sighed, "I only have a short chance to check but they used a spell to hide their magical signature."

Scorpius scowled, "They aren't getting rid of me that easily. I can't escape by myself…"

Rose clasped his hands, "Very well, I shall lend you my power. I came here willingly."

Scorpius smirked, "Then we'll leave together. After all we were amoung the most powerful of our generation. If power had been what fascinated me with persons, I wonder what sort of a pair we might have made."

Rose laughed, "One might consider it a pity, however neither of us would suit. After all, my friend and cousin, we know do we not that you are attracted to other things and I have not the proper bits to entice you."

Scorpius blushed, "And James has the proper ones to entice you?"

Rose blushed, "Perhaps, don't tell him that. It's difficult enough being pursued by a close cousin. Dad would never approve…"

Scorpius snorted, "I am afraid Rose that your father is a fool."

Rose chuckled, "Indeed, often times I wonder what my mother saw in him. Or Aunt Ginny saw in your dad."

Scorpius rolled his eyes, "His name, his reputation but in the end she realized she wasn't up his weight. A pity that Uncle Neville's line will die out with him because Ginny doesn't want children. He's good with them."

"Rosie? It's James…"Rose flushed, "Has it been that long? I didn't feel Al and Lily try to pull me out."

"Scorp…wake up…please?"

Rose squeezed his hands, "Shall we?"

Scorpius nodded, "We'll show who ever dared to cure me that I won't be subdued so easily."

Together they called on their power, the prison of air shattering like glass hit with a Blasting Curse and flew.

They landed in their bodies with a gasp.

Rose opened her eyes first and looked down at Scorpius whose silver eyes flickered and then opened. She hugged him tight and then threw herself at James.

James caught her but tumbled awkwardly back smacking into the stone floor and put in his legs in a painful position. "Rosie? Thank," he groaned in pain, "Oh hell. That hurts…"

Rose used a bit of magic to move them to a more comfortable position where she was sitting in his lap. Well more accurately straddling it…

James hugged her tight, "I was so worried when Hugo ran into Charms in a panic and dragged me out." He blushed when he started to hard beneath her and awkwardly cast a cold-water hex on himself.

Rosie blushed, "Oh…sorry…" Before scrambling off his lap and holding out her hand to help him up…

James swallowed, waiting to be sure he wasn't going to embarrass himself farther and then let her pull him up.

Albus was so shocked when they came back to consciousness that it wasn't until Rose hugged Scorpius and then flew at James that he pulled him into his arms. "Scorp…thank Merlin…I was so worried."

Scorpius swallowed a snicker, "Oh don't thank me. It was mostly rose, a shame she doesn't get the honour that he did. Since they were both near equals in power."

Rose snickered, "AS if anyone would revere a witch in such a light. Tell me Scor who was the first head of this institution?"

Scorpius frowned at her, "Why Professor Ravenclaw of course."

The Third Year Hufflepuffs and Slytherins gasped.

Rose shook her head, "We're taught there was First Headmaster who ran Hogwarts, not a First Headmistress."

"The only witch we actually hear about from those days was Morganna."

"A pity because Vivian was just as bad. They were rivals, creating just madness that it rivals imagination." Scorpius scoffed.

Rose frowned, "You don't think she'll be back as well do you?"

Scorpius shivered and clung to Albus, "Oh Merlin I hope not! If that happens and she remembers everything could fall apart and if that rivalry is reborn…No. I won't allow that. This will be different. At some point, I will have to go on a journey. Alone. To meditate. We are dwindling as a people. Perhaps, that is what I have come back for. To repair that…"

Rose glared at him, "Perhaps, such thoughts should remain unspoken cousin. I will need to find Avalon as well. Perhaps, my true home but for that…it is for another time."

Albus blinked eyes flickering from face to face, confusion and half understanding flowed through him. "What are you talking about?"

Scorpius kissed his nose, "Nothing to worry about Asp. All will be revealed at the proper time. Now is not that time."

Lily tapped her foot, "Now that you've stop talking in shadows, might we address a more pressing issue?"

Rose turned to gaze at her in confusion, "What would that be?"

Lysander chuckled, "You are all so amusing. What the dear lady is implying is that you banished our professor and we are at a loss."

Rose turned as red as her hair, "Apples of Avalon! Did I? That was not my intention. I was merely wishing for his to leave me alone. He is dreary and uninteresting. If Mum hadn't introduced me to the joy of learning early, I would hate history. Well I suppose I ought to confess though I am not exactly sure how I bashed him but he is gone."

Scorpius smiled half-heartedly, "Should I go with you and try to explain?"

Rose shook her head, "I would rather not. Suspicions regarding my control and myself are one thing. I would hate to draw an eagle eye to you. Best if you remain in the shadows a while longer."

Scorpius smiled wider, "I shall yield to your wisdom my Lady."

James scowled at him.

Scorpius raised an eyebrow and leaned more into Albus.

James let out a sigh of relief, "Come on Rose, I'll go with you. I will have to apologize for leaving class in such a fashion."

Lily giggled, "You sound just like papa."

A scornful voice came from the centre of the room, "All the sophistication in the world can't help him. He was born to a dirty Halfblood and a bloodtraitor by joining with the so-called Chosen One, your papa," the voice spat, "has disgraced himself, his family, his name and his ancestors."

Scorpius had it up to here with disdainful, mocking comments about his parentage and his parents. He sprang from Albus' lap, shoving him back. his power radiating and crackling around him like electricity during a thunder storm. "You uneducated, loathsome worm. You think you are that perfect that you can denounce others? You know nothing. You are nothing. All the magical ancestors you could claim, can't cleanse you from the taint of your own folly. I have generations of pure magical ancestors on my bearer's side; my sire has them on at least one side. So what if I am Draco Malfoy's son? Your hatred isn't even your own. It's your mothers. I could duel you and win! I could brew potions that would make the great potioneer of this age cringe! I can wield transfiguration that would make our Headmistress faint with envy. I can create magic you would never dream of. I am a Slytherin! I have always been the most Slytherin of Slytherins since Professor Salazar Slytherin himself. He would bow to ME. Something he would not do for you. You are nothing. You will be a mere splash of ink to be banished when all is said and done. There are multiple persons in this room who are your superiors in power if not in blood. You are no better then a skulking assassin who has not the courage to attack in a honourable fashion. You cursed me. I know you did."

Rose touched his arm to try to calm him down and was thrown back. "Scorpius stop!"

Scorpius snarled, "No. I am sick of letting you all fight my battles for me. If it weren't for Albus needing to be here I would never has set foot here. This school has dissolved. It is nothing like Headmistress Ravenclaw, Professor Gryffindor, Professor Slytherin and Professor Hufflepuff wanted. They would banish the students and rip this place apart stone by stone and cast it to the bottom of the Black Lake. The rivalry between Gryffindor was an intellectual one. It never progressed to a duel. It didn't end with Slytherin leaving for good. He came back. While he never truly agreed that Muggleborns belonged he agreed that teaching them to control their magic was safer in the long run. Many of the Pureblood family come from Muggleborns. They became purebloods but they started with Muggles who born magical children. They forgot that essential fact and have signed their own death warrant. Muggleborns will rise and take over; because there won't be any purebloods left. They will remake this world. They will start a revolution, a renaissance. A rebirth of the ideals that founder of this place tried to foster. People like you: petty, arrogant, blind people will be forgotten and disappear."

Scorpius packed up his things without any real thought; "I can't learn anything with professor Binns that didn't know before I arrived. I fail to see how a human professor can teach me anything else."

He left leaving them all stunned behind him.

He absently wondered what harm his speech has wrought and how it would affect the possible futures he saw narrowing…

Sorry for the very late update. I hope it wets your appetite. Hopefully I will update soon...
