Hey, guys! Guess who it is? Yep, HarryPotter12980 back again! So sorry this took so long! I've been working on others to come out soon! Please read, enjoy, and review!

Draco's POV

Harry had a worried look on his face, "Um, I have bad news for you. I wouldn't try to see Astoria,"

"Why?" I replied testily.

"Mate, sit down," He conjured up two chairs, and I sat down.

"Draco-"

"What's wrong?"

"Um, it's Scorpius,"

"No! What's wrong with him!?"

"He-he was taking a walk alone-"

"Why would he go alone?"

He had permission to go from Astoria. Now, don't interrupt. Scorp was taking a walk down Diagon Alley, where the Dark Wizard was following him, but he didn't know. He turned around many times, but the Dark Wizard had a Disillusionment Charm on themselves, so he couldn't see anyone. Then the person lifted the Charm, and Scorpius noticed. The Dark Wizard pulled their wand and-and tortured him,"

"What!? With what?"

"Th-the Cruciatus Curse. It lasted a long time,"

"Why didn't they tell me!?"

"You nor Astoria weren't able to be contacted. They found me, and told me the news,"

"Where is he?"

"St. Mungo's. He's currently unconscious, but I could take you to see him?"

"Let's go," I got up, and we Apparated to St. Mungo's. I ran up to the front desk and demanded harshly where Scorpius was.

"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, tortured by Cruciatus Curse, where is he?"

"Third floor, Room 206," The man at the desk replied without looking up. I looked at Harry, and ran up, not bothering to Apparate. I reached Room 206 but was stopped by a Healer.

"Hello, I'm sorry, but you are not welcome in this room,"

"My name is Draco Lucius Malfoy, father of Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy! I want to see my son!" I spat out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Your son is currently unconscious but showing signs of waking up. There is a statue of a letters, ST. If he wakes up, touch it and we will come in as soon as possible," I nodded. I ditched Harry, as he was not allowed in, and went into the room. I sat down beside his bed and took his hand.

"Hey, Scorpius. It's Dad. Mum and I are really worried about you. The doctors are saying that you're showing signs of waking up soon. I hope you wake up soon. I heard that you and Albus are getting along now, that's great! I'm proud of you. You took a rivalry and made it a friendship. Now, his father and I are getting along. Ginny and Mum have been trying to get us to get along for many years. It's finally worked, because I thought about all the fighting we used to do. I called his friends 'blood traitors' and 'mudblood' along with a lot of other people. I thought for a long time and realized that it was not necessary. Your grandfather, Granddad Lucius raised me to believe that the Weasleys' and Muggle-Borns were scum. I think that Harry has wanted us to be friends for a few years now but waited for me to show that I was ready.

"I remember the first time we met. It was in the entrance of the Great Hall. I was making fun of Ron, mostly for his hand-me-down things, and being a Weasley. I then tried to befriend Harry, like my father told me to do so, and held out my hand to shake his. Since I was making fun of his friend, he didn't take my hand and said, 'I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks,'. Since then, I've thought I hated him. In my seventh year, when Ron, Hermione and Harry were searching for Horcruxes, they were caught and brought to our manor. I was sent to see if it was really Harry, Ron and Hermione. I saved them by saying they weren't. They eventually found out that it was them. That was a moment your father was really grateful of,"

I knew I was rambling, but I hoped that this would be enough to wake him up. I kept talking, until I noticed his hand twitched.

"Scorpius?" His eyes slowly opened, sat up slowly, and looked around, "Dad?"

"Scorpius!" I hugged him and touched the statue quickly.

"Dad?"

"Yes, son?"

"I'm in pain, it hurts!" He started to cry, and I had no clue what to do.

"Scorp, it'll be all right! The doctors are coming, it'll be all right!" I tried to soothe him until the doctors came. That didn't take too long. The Healer that I ran into outside came in, looking happy, "Ah, Scorpius Malfoy. You're awake! How do you feel?"

"Hurt,"

"Ah, we have something," He went over to a cupboard and pulled out a vial full of gross-looking liquid. He handed it to Scorpius.

"It doesn't taste very good," Scorpius took it in a shot, and grimaced, "That's an understatement,"

"But it helps, right?"

"Yeah. So, what happened? Why'm I here?"

"Um, Scorpios, your mother, Astoria, let you go on a walk alone, but what you didn't know was that there was a Dark Wizard following you. You turned around several times, but he was invisible with a Charm. When he lifted it, he pulled his wand, and used Crucio on you,"

"Would that be why I was hurting?"

Yes. We have a special flask for you that has no dosage. You take as much as you need when you're in pain to make it go away. Your father can tell me when you run out, or we can Charm it to keep refilling?"

"Can you Charm it?"

"Not a problem. I'll do that soon. I want to go over a few side effects that you may experience,"

"Hit me,"

"Well, first, you will feel a lot of pain often, but it should fade eventually. We don't know when it will. The flask will also make you feel weak, but considering your state, you shouldn't be doing much anyway. It may also make you feel tired, so you'll end up sleeping a lot. That's good, and normal,"

"Will I still be able to go to Hogwarts?"

"When are you due to go?"

"Next year,"

"Yes, you'll be able to go. The Crucio effects should fade mostly. One thing that will stay is that you will go insane for periods of time. Do you know what that means?"

"I'll be wild?"

"Basically. You will lose control of your sanity,"

"How long?"

"Less than 5 minutes. If longer, contact us,"

"Alright,"

"Any questions?"

"Not that I can think of,"

"Well, ask anytime," He left the room, and I faced Scorpius, "Scorp? What's wrong?"

"Nothing,"

"You're starting to sound like your old father,"

"How?"

"I hide my feelings as well,"

"I'm not hiding them,"

"Then why don't you tell me? It seems like you're hiding them right now?"

"What'll happen at Hogwarts?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the Healer said that I'll lose my sanity for periods of time. That means that kids will make fun of me,"

"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. You don't give a damn at what other people think. You know that you were tortured, and you can't help it,"

"But the other kids don't know that,"

"But the professors know,"

"So?"

"They WILL tell the kids off. If it makes you feel any better, I found out a little while ago that Albus has epilepsy. You know what that is, right?"

"Yeah,"

"He also has a disability. But he knows that it's not gonna stop him. I want you to know that as well, got it?"

"I know, but it'll take a while before it sinks in,"

"That's alright. I just want to eventually sink in,"

"Don't worry, Father, it will,"

"Scorp. I've been thinking. I think I'd prefer for you to call me 'Dad' instead of 'Father'. What do you think?"

"I think it sounds great, but why?"

"I was controlled by my father, and he forced me to call him father. I don't want the same for you,"

"It's fine...Dad," That made me smile, "When can we leave?"

"Right after the Healer comes in with the flask Charmed," As if on cue, the Healer came in with a pocket size bottle. He handed it to me, and I slipped it inside of my pocket.

"Hello, Scorpius, this will be your medicine. It has a prescription on it, so no one else will take it. Even if it is taken, it is also Charmed so only you and your father can open it. Oh, I've also changed the taste, so it won't taste so bad. It now should taste like chocolate,"

"Thanks. Not to be rude, but can I go home?"

"That's not rude at all. And yes, you may,"

"Thanks!"

"Just doing my job,"

"Well, you do it well," The Healer smiled.

"I just need your father to sign some papers," I nodded, and he handed me a sheet of paper and a pen. I signed them quickly, and we left. Scorpius said he was tired, so he wanted to lie down.

"Alright, if you need anything, call for me or Mum," He nodded, and went to his room. I then went to find Astoria, who was re-organizing the Potions storage.

"Hey, Tori," She turned around quickly.

"Scorpius, is he alright?"

"Sort of?"

"Sort of? What does that mean?"

"H-he was tortured,"

"How?" She wasn't going to let this go.

"Crucio,"

"Wait, what!?" All I could do was nod, "But, he couldn't have been!"

"There's countless evidence,"

"No, no, no, no!"

"I was thinking that we should bring him over to see Albus and James, Lily, Harry and Ginny,"

"Yes, let's go, you go get Scorp," I nodded, and went to Scorpius's room.

"Scorpius?"

"Dad?"

"Do you want to go see Albus and his family?" He jumped up.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"

"Alright, get ready," I figured that Scorpius would pack an entire suitcase full of things he'd want to show Albus. Normally, I wouldn't let him, but I just wanted him to be happy for now. For me? I don't care if he packed the entire house. I wanted him to not feel bad about himself. I went back to the living room, and started to read a book.
