A/N: Rdemon: Just curious, where you thought I was taking the story? But yeah Demons-The Harry Potter books mentioned vampires but they've never mentioned demons. Do you watch Supernatural then? That is where I got the idea from. Thanks for your review.

Scorpius

"You had a phone and you didn't think, when I was freezing my ass off to use it?-until we were in danger" I ranted at Albus the next day. It only occurred to me this morning that the fact Albus had been able to contact Lily.

"If you have called for help then your leg would not be broken"

"The reason I hadn't called was that I was pissed off at you"

"Oh just go to hell Albus" I stride away from the room, glad that for once Albus could not follow me.

"Scorpius" Dad called from the second floor as I walked down the stairs.

"Yes dad?"

"How would you and me like to do something? We haven't really had time to ourselves this holiday"

"I'd love to"

"Great we'll going to the gun range and then lunch at the range before I go to work. And come in here a second" Dad beckoned me into his study and told me to shut the door behind me. I came over to his desk and saw silver before it malterized into a gun. "Dad?" I looked down at the gun.

"Take a seat" Dad said taking his own. I sat opposite him. "I talked to Lily about what attacked you. She told me that she didn't know much but she was looking in to it. She did however tell me that yours wasn't the first and some other situations that have been going on. So for the best protection I am giving you this gun, when we go to the gun range it will not be for fun but to hone in on your skills. Understand?"

"Yes"

"And you cannot tell your mother"

"Okay"

Dad picked up the gun and handed it over gently. "I'm giving you this as a protection detail; you will not use it for any other reason apart from in an extreme circumstance. To do so will result in this gun being taken off you, a bodyguard put in place instead and a punishment put in order. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes"

"Son?"

I hand signed no bullshit. My mom who was a nurse taught us all how to do sign language but my dad and I only used it when we were being serious.

I went back up into my room to get changed out of my pjams and to put the gun away safely. I heard a bang from the bathroom and a thud. I went into the bathroom.

"I'm fucking fine"

"Shut up Albus" I grasped him under the armpits and hauled him up, setting him down on the washing up basket seat. I picked up his crutches and handed them to him.

"Where you going?" Albus looked me up and down as he stood up.

"Out with my father"

"Out where?"

"Gun range and then were going for a meal"

"Lucky you" Albus snapped.

"What's your problem?"

"It's okay Scorpius, didn't know you two were having bathroom meetings?" James leant against the doorway in Albus's room.

"He fell, I helped him" I said in defence.

"Albus apologize for being mean to someone who helped you and taking your own problems out on Scorpius"

"Are you kidding me?" Albus looked back at his brother.

"No I'm not, now!"

Albus sighed loudly and looked back at me. "Sorry Scorpius" Albus pushed past his brother.

"Sorry" James said looking at me. "Dad is always busy, being an auror and Albus has always been closer to him then us"

"That must be hard. I have my parents all to myself but you three have to share yours"

"Yeah but I have my siblings, in the end who needs parents?" There was a bitter tone to his voice when he said the last bit and my gaze remained on him even as the door slammed in my face. James was probably the only person I had not talked to in the Potter family and he seemed an okay type of character who for sure valued his siblings more than anyone else, which included his parents.

I left the room and made my way back to my dad's office. "What took you so long?" He questioned.

"I was helping Albus up"

"Let's go then" Dad apparated us there as he had work in three hours' time.

Me and my dad liked to come up to the gun range ever since I was fourteen, it was a muggle activity however it was just one of our things that we did.

I picked the Springfield Armory handgun dad had got me, loaded it and then lined up, getting the target ahead of me in sight. I looked across at my dad, who raised an eyebrow, we both looked at the targets and shot.

We competed for half an hour where dad hit the target more than I did, and then for the next hour he had me practice and then we went to lunch.

We were given a pitcher of water as we sat down and then we ordered fries to share.

"We have not spoken much this summer Scorpius and when we have it's been arguments that made you avoid me to show how you don't agree with the punishment set" I flushed then, he was exactly right. I got pissed off so I avoided him. "You've been spending a lot of time with Albus recently; I thought you both hated each other?"

"We did but were working it out. Besides I'm friends with his cousin"

"You like Louis Weasley?"

"Yeah he's good for Blaise, can actually get Blaise to listen to him"

"Are they serious?"

"Yeah, you sound like you don't think they are. Is it because their young or because their gay?"

"Scorpius" Dad said, taking a sip of water. "I just don't condone it"

I looked down at the table top. "Half my friends are gay, so what? You don't like them because they are gay?"

He didn't answer so I stood up. "I'm leaving, maybe I'll go call my gay friends and have an orgy"

"Scorpius sit down please, I'm sorry" Dad pleaded. "I'm sorry. I do not just dislike your friends because their gay, okay? I just don't condone it, that is all, doesn't mean I have to dislike them. I don't condone people who like Puddlemere United, but just because I do does not mean I dislike them because they like that team"

"Okay" I sat down.

"Good son I don't want to spend the whole summer arguing with you. Is everything else okay with you?"

"It is, how's work?"

"It's not so good. The case I'm working on, the defendant is not someone I want to be defending"

"Can't you just mess the case up?"

"I could but it's the mafia so I rather not"

After the war it was hard for any Malfoy to find a job but dad needed one so he got a job in the muggle world and has liked it ever since. He took the job as a defence lawyer to defend those wrongly accused. Sure it meant protecting guilty people which was part of the job that sucked.

"Mafia?"

"It's a bit weird" Dad paused. "He goes on about knowing something that could destroy this world and yet when asked what this is he just looks so confused. I think that somebody from our world is working in one of the opposing mafias and the defendant caught them out"

"You think he's memory has been altered?"

"I do"

"You going to investigate it?"

"My hands are full on and I can't ask my investigators to investigate this"

"Harry Potter's living in your house whose head auror"

Dad pulled a face. "I thought you didn't like him?"

"Teddy told you?" I sank into my seat,

"Teddy told me nothing. I've just been seeing the way you look at him"

"You know you said you didn't want any more arguments?" I fiddled with the napkin. "Well me neither"

"Scorpius you tell me now what went on with you and Mr. Potter"

000

"Hey Scorpius" Albus said after I got back, he was sitting on the sofa by himself.

"Hi"

"I'm sorry"

I turned towards him. "It's okay"

"Did you have fun?"

"I did"

"Good"

He smiled at me then picked up the crutches to stand up. "Wanna watch a movie?"

"Sure what you got? Jerks and apologies?"

Albus laughed and I smiled.

A/N: I'm going away until Monday so I should have a chapter ready for when I get back since I'll be taking my laptop.
