Chapter twelve:
"Albus, wake up!" Kris shouted. "You're going to over sleep again!"
Albus jolted awake and stared at Kris who was shaking the bed to wake Albus up. Albus grumbled and pushed himself out of bed. He glared at Kris who had just turned around and was now packing his school bag up.
Albus yawned and stretched out. He had just been having such a good dream about Scorpius being expelled from Hogwarts. He smiled reliving the dream in his head and laughed softly to himself as he began to get dressed.
The common room, when Kris and Albus went down to it, was pretty empty. The lights were dim like they always were. The two boys stepped out of the common room and walked up the steps out of the dungeon. The smell of food reached their nostrils and both smiled as they reached the doors to the great hall.
They both took seats at the Slytherin table and served themselves breakfast.
"So, we have transfigurations and charms first today," Kris said softly as he shoveled food into his mouth.
Albus shrugged. "Transfiguration with the Gryffindor?"
Kris nodded. "And Charms with the Hufflepuffs."
Albus nodded slowly and drank his juice slowly. He could wait for the day. He didn't want any day to end quickly knowing that Scorpius was in the Hospital and could be out any day now. He could even be out now and on his way back to Hogwarts.
…
Scorpius gaped at his visitor as she pulled off her purple hat and took a seat by his bedside. She looked a bit uncomfortable there and like she had something to say. Scorpius was shocked that she would be the one to visit him at this moment.
"M…Mrs. Weasley?" He stuttered in shock. "W…what are you doing here?
Hermione took a deep breath and looked at Scorpius.
"I'm surprised you know who I am," She replied.
"Of course I know who you are," He said knowing that his voice was shaking. He felt so intimidated to be talking to Rose's mother.
"I bet Rose told you about me," Hermione said softly and Scorpius nodded slowly.
"She told me a lot about you," He replied. "Said you were very understanding. If that is true, please don't be mad at me for being friends with your daughter. She's an amazing person, one of the best, and she's very accepting. I mean, most people despise the name Malfoy because of my father, grandfather, and many early living relatives."
"I know that you were not good friends with my father in School and that he called you a…a…"
Hermione laughed slightly. "Yes, Draco and I were not great friends in school and he called me a mudblood. But, I am not angry that you are friends with Rose."
She smiled and that smile completely threw Scorpius off his guard. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself.
"Mrs. Weasley, Rose is an excellent girl," He said softly. "She's been so kind to me but your family doesn't like me or mine."
Hermione took a deep breath. "I understand," She stood up. "Ronald, my husband, is quite a hot head. He hated your father in school. He was, after all, Harry Potter's best friend. Harry's son, James Sirius, takes after Harry's Good father. He's a jokester and a troublemaker. He dislikes Slytherin house as much as Sirius Black had."
"And then there is Albus!"
Scorpius listened intently to her words.
"Albus wants to fit in with the family," Hermione continued. "He was sorted into Slytherin unlike anyone in the family. James ridiculed him about it over the summer many times. Al thinks it's your fault using some screwed up knowledge to justify that."
Scorpius nodded. "So, his way of fitting into the family is by hating me, a Malfoy, the families common enemy?"
Hermione sighed softly. "You are not an enemy, Scorpius. You are a young boy who was born in a family with a bad reputation."
Scorpius huffed. "I wish that everyone saw things the way you did, Mrs. Weasley."
She nodded and stood up. She put her hat back on and stepped towards the door.
"Scorpius," Hermione said turning back to him. "Make sure you keep my daughter happy. She likes you a lot."
Scorpius blushed darkly and nodded. "I will, Mrs. Weasley."
Hermione smiled and she left the room leaving Scorpius alone to his thoughts again.
…
After lessons that day, Louis, Kris, and Hugo met outside by the lake. When they were sure that Albus, James, and Teddy were not around, the began to talk.
"I got a letter today," Hugo said softly.
The two other boys looked at him with confused expressions.
"I don't mean to be rude, Hugo," Louis said. "But, why are we meeting about a letter?"
Hugo rolled his eyes. "This letter is about Scorpius and you'll never believe the sender."
Louis and Kris stared at him.
"Who?" They asked simultaneously.
"My mother," Hugo replied brandishing the letter towards them and then putting it back in his cloak. "She told me that she went to visit Scorpius. She supports our side so I ended up telling her all about the plan that Albus and James had. If only she could be the one in charge of their punishment. But Aunt Ginny is instead."
Louis shook his head. "You're mom sent you that letter? Why does she suddenly like Scorpius and supports our cause?"
Hugo shook his head. "Can't be too sure but I sent an owl out to St. Mungo's requesting the visitors log for Scorpius Malfoy."
Kris began to laugh.
"They won't give you that!" He exclaimed.
Hugo shrugged and shook his head. "It's worth asking, right?"
Kris shook his head and sighed. "Whatever you feel you should do."
Hugo nodded and straightened out.
"There is another thing," He said softly. "When Scorpius returns to the school, we don't know what James, Albus, and Teddy will do to him. I doubt that they have any plan to reuse their first idea but they still could be plotting something else."
Louis nodded. "They have to be. I am always seeing James, Teddy, and Albus with their heads together whispering in hushed voices so that none around can hear them."
Hugo nodded.
"That's my point. We have to stop them."
The two boys looked at Kris as if they both had the same thought.
…
Of course James and Teddy had a new idea. They couldn't wait to tell Albus about it. They walked through the halls, down the stairs, and to the library where Albus was waiting for them.
"Al," James smiled and greeted his brother. "It's good to see you tonight."
"You were the one who invited me here," Albus said as he rolled his eyes. "What is this about?"
Teddy smiled evilly, his hair turning an auburn color.
"Well, Al, we have thought up another brilliant idea to get at that fool, Malfoy." He said. "And we have perfected it enough to share it with you."
"Just as long as you don't put him in the hospital again," James snickered.
Albus rolled his eyes at his brother. Teddy and James sat down besides him and they began to tell him all about their elaborate plan. Albus took in the knowledge of the plan but something didn't seem to sit right in him at the moment.
He kept thinking about Scorpius being in the hospital and how he had been the one to put him in there. What if they ended up doing something so much worse? He shuddered at the thought but luckily James and Teddy didn't notice. They were too busy laughing about their plan.
But Albus would go along with it.
He felt he had to.
He had to gain the respect of his brother and the rest of his family.
He didn't seem to notice that he was losing respect by more than just Rose and Hugo.

Reviews that made me smile:
the-writing-vampire:
Who is Scorpius's visitor? Why do I have the feeling that their last name is Weasley?
Also, will Albus ever stop trying to mess with Scorpius and just let the guy be friends with his cousin? Maybe even develop a friendship with Scorpius himself?

P.S.: I know it seems I hate Teddy, Albus, and James. I don't. I love all three of them. Teddy is, in fact, one of my admin names on several of the Harry Potter fan pages I admin. (My other admin name is Padfoot but that's only on three of the pages).
