Holiday Happenings

Scorpius helped Astoria in setting up the dining table, looking glum and sulky. Throughout the times at school, Scorpius had tried to stay away from Jason and Peter, but it is still inevitable that they would still be meeting each other during summer. Now that they are coming over to his house, the situation would be worse. Scorpius was sure that his room would definitely be trashed and destroyed by those two idiots as usual.

"Have you been nice to Jason and Peter in school?" Astoria asked.

Scorpius rolled his eyes as he put the plates into place. "I told you, mom, I ignored them, didn't talk much. They're quite happy without me, so I daresay I am quite nice to them."

"Why were you ignoring them?" Astoria asked curiously. "Aren't you guys best of friends?"

Best of friends? Parents were really weird sometimes. Couldn't Astoria at least sense some unhappiness from Scorpius whenever the Malfoy family 'hung out' with the Goyle and Parkinson family? Couldn't she see her son's sullen and gloomy face every time he was with Peter and Jason? "No mom, we are not best of friends." Scorpius said.

"But you three are always together!" Astoria exclaimed.

Scorpius really wanted to shout at his mother 'being forced to always be together since young doesn't necessarily means I'm happy to be with them', but stopped when his father walked into the house.

"They are coming soon, is the dinner ready?" Draco said, looking around. "Scorpius, quick, set up the dining table." He ordered, pulling Astoria away from the job.

Scorpius did not argue, and immediately turned around and set off to work. He was not going to see another passionate love scene from his parents. He had had enough already since he came back from Hogwarts. A lot of things must have happened when he was away in Hogwarts, since he had never seen his parents kissing so explicitly in front of him before, and it gave him the creeps.

The door bell rang. Scorpius groaned.

"Why are they here so early?" He mumbled unhappily, as he could see Aunt Parkinson, Uncle and Aunt Goyle coming into the house through the corner of his eyes.

"Draco, Astoria, it has been a long time! How are you?"

"I'm fine, how are you, Pansy?"

"And you too, Greg, my, you all look so bright and healthy!"

"Oh, we're all fine, never been better! How about you? Heard that you're pregnant! Congratulations!"

"Oh, come in, come in! I'll tell you more about it later!"

"Yeah, I want to know all about your sudden decision in wanting another kid." They laughed.

"Scorpius, my boy!" Uncle Goyle barked. Scorpius rolled his eyes. Scorpius, my boy? Since when was he Uncle Goyle's boy?

Uncle Goyle grabbed Scorpius and gave him a big, tight hug, almost strangling Scorpius. "How are you, you've grown big!" He laughed, and ruffled Scorpius' hair. Scorpius quickly smoothed out his hair unhappily. "You look more and more like your father each day! You're going to grow up as handsome as him, eh?"

The whole room burst with laughter as all the adults started roaring with happiness. Scorpius could never get adults, always laughing and being so excited over such mild things like getting taller, or amount of salt added to the meal, and making such a loud and unbearable noise. Sometimes he thought that he was even more mature than the adults he knew. At least he does not make a huge fuss over how everyone has been lately.

"Scor!" Jason and Peter appeared. "Let's play!"

Aunt Parkinson chuckled. "Boys, they always liked to play with each other."

"Yeah, remind me of old times, eh? When we used to play together all the time."

"Good old times…"

Scorpius sighed. It's inevitable, he really had to play with the two idiots. He trudged out of the room unhappily, hearing another roar of laughter. Seriously, he could never get what was so funny about their conversation…

Scorpius, Jason and Peter played quidditch for a little while, before Jason and Peter started rolling the quaffles in mud and drawing faces on them. Scorpius shook his head at their immaturity and left the two of them. His stomach was growling anyway, so it's time to grab some snacks.

The house was rather quiet by now, compared to before. The adults were watching CIV (connecting image viewer, which is a wizard type of television, without the use of electricity, of course.) Scorpius walked towards the kitchen, and he could hear his father's voice.

"…I still like you, Draco…"

Scorpius stopped dead in his tracks. He blinked. Did he hear right? Was that Aunt Parkinson's voice? What the hell? He crept slowly to the kitchen door, and quietly peeked into the room. Aunt Parkinson was standing next to Draco, and really really close to him.

"What…what are you talking about, Pansy?" Draco said uncomfortably. "I am married already, married with one kid, no, two kids, soon…"

"Why are you married to her?" Pansy said, coming close to Draco. "Why? We have been dating for a few years, and then you suddenly left me! But, I still loved you all the while, Draco, even when you left me for her, I still craved for you every year!"

"Pansy, have…have you been drinking…?" Draco asked, laughing awkwardly. "Come on, this is not a joke…"

"IT IS NOT A JOKE!" Pansy barked suddenly, scaring both Draco and Scorpius. "I really really like you, no, I really really love you, Draco!" She said, hugging Draco. Draco cringed away uncomfortably.

"P…Pansy… that's enough…no more…"

"Tell me, why did you leave me? I bet you still loved me all these times, right?"

"No, Pansy…I…" Draco sighed. "To tell you the truth I never really liked you…I was just… I was just playing with you…"

"You were just playing with me?" Pansy repeated. Scorpius could see that she drew out her wand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Pansy, I was a young, ignorant fool!" Draco seemed to sense danger as well, as he immediately pleaded. "You have to understand that – " Draco stopped dead in his sentence, as his eyes suddenly blurred.

"What were you saying, Draco?" Pansy crooned, caressing Draco's chest.

Draco smiled. "Nothing. I was thinking…yeah, why did I marry Astoria? I mean, I just realised suddenly that I loved you all along!"

"That's right…" Pansy smiled, hugging Draco. "That's right, you loved me all along, like how I loved you all along…"

Damn it, his father was confounded! Scorpius cursed. It must be that bitch Pansy confounding him! Scorpius gritted his teeth angrily, as he drew out his wand as well.

"Jelliolegs!" Scorpius cast the Jelly-Legs Jinx, causing Pansy's legs to wobble uncontrollably as she fell onto the ground frailly. He then set the Bat Bogey Hex on her, smiling to himself as Pansy jerked away from his father, with wings sprouting out from all over her face.

Draco blinked. "What…what happened? Why are you like that?" He asked, shocked. The confundus charm must have worn off with Pansy being like this. Scorpius covered his mouth as he laughed at the pathetic state of his 'Aunt Parkinson', crawling on the floor like a wretched worm.

The rest of the adults rushed into the kitchen. "What happened? Oh my god, dear Pansy!" They started fussing, as they tried various ways to fix her back. But Scorpius' skills have always been so marvelous no one could fix his hex and jinx so fast. Scorpius chuckled to himself. He really had to give it to his talent at these kinds of things.

"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy!" Astoria roared suddenly.

Scorpius came out from his hiding. "What is it, mom?" Scorpius answered as innocently as he could.

"Don't you act innocent, you must be behind this!" She scolded. "Who else in the household would perform such despicable spells other than you? Do you think this is funny? Huh? Do you like these kinds of pranks so much? Don't try and lie to me! I have received many letters about you and your ugly pranks in school, I was just keeping quiet about that! But now seeing that you hexed your Aunt Parkinson into a state like this, I can't keep quiet anymore! You are a disappointment, Scorpius, come over and fix her now!"

Scorpius stood in his ground, adamant. "No I will not."

Astoria glared at Scorpius. "Fix her now, and apologise." She repeated, louder and angrier. "NOW!" She grabbed Scorpius on the collar.

"NO I WILL NOT!" Scorpius shook his mother off. That Pansy was seducing his father, and trying to break up his family, there was no way he would apologise to her! No way in hell. He took out his wand, and uttered another jinx, which caused Pansy's body to turn revoltingly green with yellow pus coming out from all over her body.

"Scorpius!" Astoria exclaimed in alarm. "Fix her back or I'll ground you the entire summer!"

Scorpius ignored his mother and ran away from the kitchen. He grabbed his broom in the living room and kicked off from the living room itself, trashing quite a few plates on the way. He flew out of the window, and away from the house. He could hear his mother screaming hysterically "SCORPIUS COME BACK RIGHT NOW!"

He was never coming back if that 'Aunt Parkinson' was in the house.

XxXxX

Scorpius kicked a random stone away from the pathway. He had been flying for two hours now, and right now, he had no idea where he was. He wasn't even sure if this is in the Muggle world or the Wizard world.

Damn that Pansy. No matter how Scorpius tried to shake it off, the repulsive image of Pansy hugging and caressing his father was still stuck in his head. He never knew Pansy and Draco dated before. What's wrong with his father's taste of woman, honestly?

Scorpius kicked another random stone away from the pathway. Right now he had no where to go now. Going back home would mean deadly punishment from his mother. Astoria was a really scary tiger mother whenever Scorpius did something wrong. He still remembered the day when he punched Jason when he was seven, and Astoria grabbed a cane in the room and spanked him twenty times in front of Jason and Uncle Goyle. It was very horrifying and utterly humiliating. Furthermore, going back would mean being grounded. Which means he could not go to Sebastian's house during the middle of the summer! No, no, going back is definitely not a choice.

"…Haha, Rose, you're doing it wrongly! It's like this!"

Scorpius stopped. Did he hear Rose? He looked around. There was a faint barbecue smell coming from the bush. He walked towards the bush and peeked inside.

On the other side of the bush Rose, Albus, James, Molly, Victoire, Dominique, Louis and Fred Weasley (the other five Weasleys that Scorpius knew were in Hogwarts but he was not close to) were sitting around a table, laughing and talking. Scorpius blinked as he noticed a guy with a lightning scar on his forehead was tending to the barbecue pit, along with a few other adults. Isn't that Harry Potter? He stared at Harry Potter for a really long while. After all, he is famous and he is a legend.

Why is the entire Weasley family congregating here? Are they having a family outing or something? Scorpius thought as he suddenly stepped on a snail.

"Eeek!" Scorpius shrieked, as he realised he had killed that poor snail. He jumped and lost his balance, and fell forward.

"Scorpius? Why are you here?" Rose asked. Scorpius stood up and realised he had fallen over to the other side of the bush, right into Weasley's family outing. He blushed at the attention of so many people suddenly.

"I…I just happened to pass by here…Sorry…" Scorpius muttered.

"Just happened to pass by? But this is a Muggle place, how could you just happen to pass by?" James said, suspicious.

As he suspected, this really was a Muggle place. "Well that's because…" Scorpius sighed. No point in hiding the truth. "I ran away from home and came here incidentally."

"You ran away from home?" Rose repeated.

"Yeah. It's…it's a long story." Scorpius said. "Anyway, going home right now is not an option, since I would be spanked, and not given dinner, and probably chained to the attic for the rest of the summer, who knows what my mom is capable of doing?"

"What did you do?" Rose asked, concerned.

"I told you it's a long story."

"Wow, this is a really good broom." Albus appeared by Scorpius' side suddenly.

"Yeah, Firebolt version 3.3! Isn't it the latest version that just came out last month?" A small boy chirped in.

"Wow, everybody in the Manchester United League switched to this broom, and won the cup!" Fred Weasley exclaimed. Fred was a classmate of James, and they were very close together, though most of the time, weirdly, Scorpius always sees James and Albus together. Maybe James is the type that takes great care of his little brother.

"Can I play it?" A little girl tugged Scorpius' shirt and asked. "Can I?" The girl was staring at Scorpius with her cute, watery eyes. Scorpius jus had to smile at such an adorable face.

"Yes, of course, I'm tired of flying it anyway." He said, giving his broom to the girl. He had, after all, been flying on it for two hours.

"Hey, let me play too, Lily!" "No, I want to play on it first!" "Hey, don't grab the broom!" "I get to ride on it first!" "Don't fight, you guys!"

One of the adults with bushy ginger hair crossed her arms. "You kids, don't you think it's very rude of you to take someone else's stuff like that?"

"It's…it's okay, Ma'am, it's okay." Scorpius said politely.

The woman looked at Scorpius and examined him from head to toe. "Don't you think you should be getting home, dear?" She said benignly.

"Just let him stay here, mom." Rose said.

"No." Rose's mom said sternly. "If his parents found out that he was here all along, they can sue us, and we will be charged of kidnapping. So, no. Malfoy, is it, your name? Please do go home." She said, turning back to Scorpius.

Scorpius shuffled his feet. Rose's mom looked as pretty as Rose was… "No, Mrs. Weasley, I don't want to go home… I… I hexed and jinxed my aunt and if I go back I'll get a serious dressing down, so…"

Ms. Weasley blinked, apparently shocked at the fact that this little boy in front had just hexed and jinxed his aunt. (But Aunt Parkinson was not even Scorpius' real aunt). "But you still shouldn't stay here. You should go home and apologise."

"Just let him stay here, Hermione." A man, probably Rose's dad, said, as he, too, was inspecting Scorpius' broom with great interest. "It wouldn't harm us."

"But his parents would worry!" Hermione said.

"Nah, Malfoy wouldn't worry himself with such things." Rose's dad said, pushing the matter away, as he continued his inspection of Scorpius' broom. "Firebolt is really awesome, isn't it? But it's still not as good as Lightning Bolt."

"My dad refused to buy a Lightning Bolt." Scorpius said casually. "Even though it's obviously better, but he still refused. Said something about not wanting to buy anything related to Harry Potter…" He stopped himself, realising that right next to Rose's dad, Harry Potter was there.

To his surprise, Harry Potter laughed out loud instead. "Still the same as always, that Malfoy." He said, chuckling along with the other adults.

"I heard you saved our two boys and Rosie from a dragon." A red-hair woman said benevolently, probably Albus' mother.

"Erm, yes…" Scorpius said uneasily. He did not like to bring that memory up.

"Scorpius is the first in level this year." Rose added.

"I am?" Scorpius frowned. "I thought Sebastian told me you were the first because your assignments were more well done than mine."

"I lost to you in the end-of-year exams." Rose explained, though Scorpius could hear a tint of disappointment.

"Ah! So you're the one that beat Rosie and her wonderful brain in school!" Rose's dad exclaimed, staring at Scorpius incredulously. "Weird, your father was never the smart type."

Scorpius rolled his eyes. "There goes again…" He muttered. Why was he always compared to his father? Why wouldn't people just accept the fact that he's just smart naturally? Or maybe from his mother's genes?

"Bet you are smarter than your father, aren't you?" Another red-haired adult said.

"Well, duh." Scorpius mumbled, while everybody else laughed. Scorpius smiled along too. He had never gossiped about his father like this before.

"SCORPIUS!"

Speak of the devil. Draco was walking towards their direction, face flushed with exhaustion. Scorpius smiled seeing the way his father was. He must have made finding himself a very chore indeed. "Scorpius go back home with me." He ordered, grabbing Scorpius' sleeves. "Come back and apologise to Aunt Parkinson!"

Scorpius shook off his father, anger rising up suddenly. "No. I hexed her for a reason, because of what she did to you." He said. "So I am not apologising, and I am not receiving any punishment."

Draco blinked, as he digested what Scorpius said. "You…you saw…?" He choked out. He stood there in the middle of all the other Weasley family, and fell into deep thoughts.

"Fine." He said finally. "I'll…I'll explain to your mother. Just…just go back with me." He said, his voice much gentler now, as he tugged Scorpius home. "Your mom is so worried she's crying right now."

Before he left, he turned and looked at all the Weasleys, and Harry Potter, and gave a curt nod.

END OF CHAPTER! Working on the next chapter. The thing about two year hiatus is that I forgot the master plot I was so excited to pull, so I'll just hope that my story-creating skills became better over the years LOL
