Scorpius is too excited for the Weasley family barbeque. He's been friends with Albus for years and he's excited to meet the rest of the family.
He and Albus tumble out of the Floo, Albus catching him. There's no one else around them at all; they had to come a little bit late since someone took too long in bathroom. Okay, it was Scorpius, but still…
"Thanks," he says to Albus, brushing himself off.
"Come outside. Everyone else is probably there," Albus says, grabbing Scorpius' wrist.
Scorpius follows him, coming to a backyard full of redheads.
"There's a lot of people here," he murmurs to Albus. He can't count them all, but definitely over twenty people came to the barbeque.
"I don't even think this is everyone," Albus says, continuing to lead Scorpius through the crowd.
They wind up at the drinks table and Scorpius pours himself a drink of water. As he sips it, someone else arrives, walking through the gate.
Scorpius watches him and almost chokes on his water because…
Damn.
The redhead who just arrived is really fit; muscles are visible under his thing t-shirt and he has some stubble, but not too much. Just the perfect amount. His ginger hair is perfectly messy and he's just all around cute.
Scorpius wants to meet him.
He elbows Albus, who has turned around to talk to someone, and points the newcomer out.
"Who's that?" he asks, still looking him up at down.
"My Uncle Charlie," Albus responds, sounding like he's on the verge of laughter.
Uncle, huh? Scorpius can work around that.
