A/N: I just spent six hours writing a huge essay (which I finished) so now I'm indulging and writing more chapters. I hope you guys enjoy this latest update.

Scorpius tried his best to limit his time with Albus for the next couple of days until he figured out what he was going to do about the James situation. He was worried that if he was around Al for too long that he would just blurt it out and then all hell would break loose.

He was torn between telling Albus everything so that he could get his help dealing with James, and just keeping it to himself. Scorpius couldn't stand the thought of being the person who broke the bond between Al and his brother, which would surely happen if Al found out. Family was incredibly important to the Gryffindor and Scorpius couldn't ruin that.

In the end, he decided that he would keep it between him and Ella, unless things escalated. After all, James was only going to be around for a couple more months and then he would be gone forever.

"But if he attacks you, I won't be able to help you like Al could. You are putting yourself in danger Scorp." Ella pointed out, her eyes full of worry.

"I doubt he would actually attack me. He's a little off, but he's not that crazy." Scorpius assured her.

Ella nodded, but she wasn't happy. She decided that no matter what Scorpius thought, she would tell Albus herself if she thought he was in any danger. Scorpius didn't think rationally when it came to Albus, and this situation was not an exception.

Louis looked up to see the Slytherin girl who was always with Scorpius standing above him. His brow furrowed. What could this be about?

"Yes?" Louis asked.

"Do you have a minute?" Ella fidgeted with her bracelet, worrying that Louis wouldn't talk to her.

"Uh, sure. Sit."

Ella obliged. She stayed silent as she tried to figure out how to word her question.

"What do you need?" Louis said after a while.

"Well, um, I was just.. Since you are cousins and everything… Oh bloody hell, will you please just tell me all you know about James?" She blurted suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Louis asked, puzzled.

"Just tell me about him. Anything you know."

"Um okay." Louis thought for a moment. "Well, he is a very territorial person. He doesn't like people near his stuff. He is fairly serious usually, but he can be fun. James is also a very competitive person."

"Okay, thank you. That was helpful."

"Listen, if you fancy him, I think you are wasting your time. He hasn't had a girlfriend in ages, which isn't like him. He's probably stuck on someone that he can't have and he won't get over it. It's a lost cause, honestly."

Ella's stomach turned, knowing exactly who James was 'stuck on'. She thanked Louis before he could say anything else and quickly left.

Scorpius was shivering in the cold, cheering on Albus, when Ella finally broached the subject of James.

"Hey Scorp?" She asked.

"Mmm?" Scorpius answered distractedly.

"Have you been bothered by James lately?"

Scorpius sighed. "No, he hasn't been around. Listen, can we not talk about this right now? There are a lot of people here."

Ella nodded, but continued to bite her lip. She'd have to tell Scorpius eventually about James' territorial tendencies. Her thought was cut off by an eruption of applause and the announcement that Gryffindor had won yet another game.

"Congratulations." Scorpius said, kissing his boyfriend softly.

"Are you going to come to the party?" Al asked, worried that the blonde would still be wary about parties considering his last experience.

"Of course."

"Good. Now I can seduce you on the dance floor and have my wicked way with you." Albus said with a grin.

"I heard you were a shit dancer." Scorpius said, laughing.

"Louis needs to keep his damn mouth shut."

Learning from his past mistakes, Scorpius paced himself on his drinks. Albus had just gone to get him a refill, when he noticed a girl walking across the room with a very determined look in her eye. She stopped in front of Albus and flashed a huge smile.

Scorpius tried not to think anything of it. Maybe they were just friends.

The girl took a step closer to Al, giggling loudly at something he had said. Scorpius started to doubt that her intentions were friendly.

The last straw was when she started to move her hand up and down Al's arm, probably telling him how muscular he looked or something stupid like that. Scorpius decided he wasn't going to sit there and watch some random girl flirt with his boyfriend, so he decided to step in.

"Hey babe." Scorpius said, walking up beside Albus. Albus gave him a strange look, probably because it wasn't like Scorpius to say something like 'babe'.

"Hey. Scorpius, meet Crystal. Crystal, this is my boyfriend Scorpius." Scorpius smiled politely at her while she looked him up and down.

After a couple of moments of silence, Scorpius realized she wasn't going to leave voluntarily. Wow, she is either really dumb or really into Al. The second thought had jealousy surging up inside him. "Do you want to dance?" Scorpius asked without thinking.

Albus gave him another odd look, but nodded. "Well, it was nice talking to you Crystal." Al said, effectively sending her away. Scorpius grabbed Albus' hand and pulled him over to the dancing area, which was very unlike him.

Albus wanted to question Scorpius, but the look in his eyes stopped him. Once they got to the dance floor, Scorpius realized that he didn't actually have a plan for this part. Scorpius had never danced other than waltzing and that wasn't exactly appropriate for the club like music pouring through the speakers. He looked around at everyone else on the dance floor, which was mostly full of grinding couples. He blushed slightly, realizing that his suggestion had probably been fairly provocative from Al's point of view.

He was about to bail when he noticed Crystal eyeing them from across the room and smirking. Rage bubbled up inside Scorpius, and he began to grind on Albus, his hips moving to the beat of the music.

After about four songs, Scorpius was uncomfortably aroused and by the feel of it, so was Albus.

"Do you want to go upstairs?" Scorpius asked, somewhat out of breath and sweaty from the dancing. Albus agreed, and they couldn't get to Albus' room fast enough.

As soon as Albus closed the door, Scorpius had him pinned up against a wall and was kissing him fiercely. Albus moaned at Scorpius' uncharacteristically dominant behavior. This encouraged Scorpius and he quickly maneuvered them to Albus' bed. He quickly got rid of Albus' shirt, and began to bite and suck at all the accessible skin. Albus moaned.

Once he had given Albus enough love bites to last a lifetime, he began to work on his jeans, and Al was left in only his boxers.

"Bloody hell, you are so gorgeous." Scorpius said, leaning back to admire Albus. He pulled Al into a deep and lasting kiss that made it clear that he wanted him and he wanted him now. Albus made quick work of Scorpius' clothing, and moved so that he was now on top of Scorpius. He placed one finger inside Scorpius, eliciting a moan from the other man. Scorpius wriggled under him, obviously impatient. He almost came at the sight. He worked another finger inside Scorpius and then another. Once he was sufficiently prepared, Albus positioned himself, and pushed slowly inside Scorpius.

Scorpius groaned. Albus paused to make sure Scorpius was okay, and once he was sure that he was, he began moving in and out of him at a steady pace. Scorpius' hips came up to meet his thrusts, desperate for Al to pick up speed.

Albus knew he wasn't going to last much longer, so he took Scorpius in his hand and began pumping him in time with his thrusts. The mixture of sensations was too much for Scorpius, and he came all of the sheets. Albus was quick to follow, crying out Scorpius' name so loudly that he wondered if anybody downstairs had heard.

Albus pulled out of Scorpius and grabbed his wand to clean them up.

After a couple minutes of resting, Albus eventually caught his breath. "Do you want to go back down to the party?"

"No, I want to stay here with you." Scorpius said, nuzzling himself closer to Al.

Albus kissed him softly on the forehead. "Good night Scorpius."

Scorpius smiled. "Good night Albus."

A/N: I tried to make Scorpius seem dominant in this one but it didn't really work like I wanted it to. Anyways, aside from my woes of writing, I hope you liked this chapter, and review!
