Different (Scorpius)

"Shouldn't judge a book by its cover"

The first time he was truly exposed to the dark looks and glares was when he began school. It was expected that he entered the house of the snakes, but then again it was also expected that he would become a 'smarmy git' as some people would say – 'just like his father'. It appeared that he would always be pushed into the shadow of his father's mistakes – something that he knew pained his father greatly. But he didn't give up – he worked hard to prove his own existence, and taught people that they shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Exactly 100 words. Thanks to DarylDixon'sgirl1985 for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the formTheme, Character, "Prompt" i.e. Different, Scorpius, "Shouldn't judge a book by its cover"). Any character is welcome, no matter how obscure (no OCs please).

Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.

Thanks for reading!
