A/N: So here is the before last story: Scorpius Malfoy. I've always wanted to put him into Ravenclaw (just to annoy Draco Malfoy) but I feel that he could really make a difference to Slytherin. I've not much to say about Scorpius, except that he shouldn't be judged for his father's mistakes and I'm pretty positive that Draco Malfoy would have raised him right. So here goes.
Title: Who are we?

Scorpius Malfoy
Where do I start? Should I even start, or will you just take a look at my surname and ignore who I am? For those who are open-minded enough to listen, I won't bore you for long.
My name is Scorpius. Ignore the Malfoy because it just causes endless unnecessary problems. My father is Draco Malfoy and my mother is Astoria Greengrass. I am proud of my parents, nothing else said.
My father took great pains throughout my childhood to immerse himself into it and know me. He says the main reason he never stood up to his father's beliefs was because he was terrified of Grandfather. Therefore, Father truly knows who I am and has worked hard to build a healthy respect, but love for him. He's taught me how to be a successful honest businessman because despite what people think Father is honest. He and I are close in contrast to previous Malfoy father-son relationships. I won't go as far to say that I tell him everything, but I know that anything serious I will tell him.
Mother is a lot easier to talk about. She's a lot more approachable than Father and she and I are extremely close. I missed her the first term at Hogwarts –so much more than I thought I would. I think that Albus Potter also missed his parents –I know that he was taunted for missing his father, and being a disappointment to him. I think if I could muster up the courage to do so, I'd talk to him because I know more than he thinks I do about being a disappointment to a member of family (i.e. my grandfather).
The Potters are an extremely large mystery to me. I wish I knew them. I know that my father owes Mr. Potter a Life Debt, but then I think that Mr. Potter owes my grandmother a Life Debt. I'm not sure, don't quote me on that. Father sometimes talks to Mr. Potter and once invited him to the Manor. He talked to me (I was about six). Let me tell you what I remember.
"Malfoy, I'm under the impression you've got a son about the same age as mine."
I remember Father pausing. I was looking from the top banisters, fascinated to be so close to my childhood hero.
"Scorpius, come down. Someone wants to meet you!"
I counted to ten then walked down the staircase, head held high and back straight as Father tells me to do all the time. I remember seeing a dark-haired man with vibrant green eyes hidden behind round glasses. He had a sort of half-smile on his face and I vaguely recollect thinking 'He's shorter than Father!'. This was not my personal image of the larger-than-life Harry Potter. Then he walked towards me and crouched down, holding out his hand. I shyly (yes, shyly) took it.
"Hi, I'm Harry Potter, but you can call me Harry and ignore the surname."
You have no idea how much that statement made me smile. This is the mantra I lived by. The rumours and whispers roar past me 'Oh my God, it's Draco Malfoy's son.' Here was my idol telling me that he wanted to be known as Harry not Harry Potter. And that was all I remember about my meeting with Harry Potter. I know he gave me a lolly afterwards (I ate it before Father told me not to).
I want to be friends with Albus Potter. I think he deserves to know that someone else understands the surname-look-like-my-father issue. If he doesn't, well, I'll make him understand. After all, I do have some Malfoy characteristics. Unfortunately, fortunately? I don't even know anymore.
Who am I? I proudly announce that I am Scorpius Malfoy. If you judge me, just know that I'm also judging you. It's a two-way street, after all.
