OK- one thing you should know about me, I don't care about continuity, I don't care if people'es ages are mixed up or don't comply with the books, I simply don't care. i just wirting whatever comes into my head and giving it to you lovely people.

If you want a well researched book compliant story, go somewhere else. :')

On another note- more music and some sexy sexytime coming soon!

xx HLW.

Rose wolf whistled as soon as Albus walked into the common room, "Ohh la la, why so fancy Mr Potter?" He rolled his eyes, it was clear he had put an effort into his appearance (even combed his hair which was novel in itself)

"You know exactly where I'm going, I have a potions tutorial."

"Ohh yeah, who with? It was Hugo who spoke. Albus replied before it crossed his mind to lie;

"And why exactly are you letting him tutor you?"

"You both saw what happened in class, Mrs Mathews didn't give me an option,"

"Personally I'm surprised Scorpius agreed to tutor you, I know fist hand what a challenge that will be. And asked for you, Hugo" she said turning to her twin "cut the crap. Leave Scorpius alone, he's a good guy and doesn't deserve to be bullied. Don't think I won't tell mum."

"Tell whoever the fuck you want, Rose. I hate him and I'm not going to quit until he leaves this school." Albus took the opportunity to duck out whilst the twins argued. Walking down to the basement he readied himself for what could potentially be the most awkward two hours of his life.

"Hey Scorp," said Paige entering her potions classroom room, all of the needed apparatus had been prepared and Scorpuis was sat at a table writing an essay.

"Hey, Paige. Remind me again why you had me do this?"

"That's simple," she said in a somewhat singing tone. "You get extra-credit and make up with the Potter boy, I get a student who may actually pass."

"And what makes you think I want to make up with him?"

"I know you, Scorp. I could see it in your eyes when he dropped you, what happened between you two?" She took a seat next to him,

"Well first off he hated me because of my name, which I can understand. But then… Then I don't know. He came and sat with me on the train coming to Hogwarts, he told me he thought I was attractive and tried to cheer me up but then his cousin came in, assaulted me, spat in my face and he did nothing. I was also made aware of the fact that he had been insulting me for quite some time, as had his father; I think what bugged me the most was that he gave me the tiniest bit of hope before it all came crashing down. I really don't know what to think about him."

"But he looks like such a sweet guy! And he really wants to make things right with you, you should have seen the way he was looking at you whilst you were working." Scorpius narrowed his eyes,

"Yes well, if he wants to apologise he can do it with words, and I suppose we'll see what he has to say soon enough because he has been standing outside listening to us talk for the last few minutes. Didn't anyone ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop, Potter?" Albus walked into the room,

"Sorry, I… I didn't want to interrupt." Paige sent Scorpius a look clearly meaning 'BE NICE!' and left the room.

"OK, so potions. Let's start with teaching you how…"

"Wait, Scorpius. I owe you an apology, really I do, and I'm not just saying this because everybody hates me all of a sudden I'm saying this because… Well because I was wrong. I was wrong to judge you before I knew you and I was wrong to talk trash about you; my father was wrong for talking about your father and my cousin was wrong for hurting you- hell Scorpius we've fucked up. I really am sorry and I know it's not the same as having Hugo here or my dad, but something tells me he'll be having a very similar conversation with your father sometime soon, and I am just so sorry. I know you may not believe me but I really am sorry. You've been so nice throughout all of this and even though you could have cursed Hugo into oblivion or totally destroyed us both socially you didn't, you're honest and funny and pretty and somehow you've managed to do it all whilst remaining calm and I… I really don't know how you've done it. I'm sorry Scoripus. Truly I am, you're so wonderful and I hate to think I've spoiled what could have been a friendship just because I've made a few bad choices and I know, dropping you on your head may not have been the best idea but people were staring and everyone knows I choke when people are watching, I just… I just"

"It's OK, Albus. Take a breath, you look close to tears." He sighed and dipped his head, he could feel the tears welling up. "It's alright, thank you for apologising. I really do appreciate it, but what you have to understand how your actions could have affected me- you're the son of Harry Potter for Merlin's sakes if you go against me it could destroy everything I've worked for and I don't care how much I could potentially like you I won't allow that to happen; do you understand?" he nodded feebly. "Like it or not, Potter you hold a great deal of power in this world and how you choose to use it will be important. There's something about you, an aura you don't realise exists and if you choose to ignore it and live in your own little bubble of seclusion you're going to cause yourself some serious trouble." He placed a jar of beetle toe into Albus' hands and gave his a stern look, "Be careful with this, it is extremely explosive. It is the very last ingredient to this potion; you need to place one single toe into a petree dish and place it on the tripod with a Bunsen burner. Immediately after the blue flame dies out you need to put into a cauldron filled with the rest of the potion. You're making a simple dreamless sleep potion- any questions?" Albus blinked,

"Just one, what are the other ingredients for a dreamless potion and what order do they go in?" Scorpius gawped at him as if he had just began to shit chocolate frogs.

"You're kidding, right? We did this in second year." He shook his head, "Alright, let's forget about the potion for a while- let's start with some theory." Pulling a large book from his bag he began to leaf through it; "take a seat, this is going to take a while."

Three hours later, the potion was finally brewed. "Well, that took longer than expected."

"I'm sorry, I just… I need tutoring for a reason you know."

"I know, and you did well. You managed to brew a potion and not blow anything up, set anyone on fire or knock someone out. I'd say that's a success in itself- wouldn't you?" Albus let out a laugh, half embarrassment half actual joy. He'd actually done something good. Fuck this was weird.

"I… I did it? Really?"

"Don't sound too surprised, you're more capable than you think. You just have to hearn how to stir correctly."

"Hey, if there's one thing I know after all this time it's how to stir!"

No actually, your technique is awful. Truly, it's no wonder everything blows up." Scorpius was grinning now,

"Ohh hah so very funny," Albus flinched when he saw how close Scorpius was. The blonde was standing directly within his personal space, his breath caught in his chest "I…."

"You have elm leaf in your hair." A shiver ran down spine as the blonde reached out to remove it,

"Thanks."

"That's all for today, I'll see you at the same time next week?"

"You'll see me tomorrow in herbology."

"Ahh, yes. The most useless subject of them all- the study of plants." Albus shrugged,

"Could be worse… It could be potions."

"Ohh ha-ha, look who's suddenly a comedian. You get going I have to stay and clean up the room, Paige would not be best happy is I left it in such a state."

"Why don't you just spell it clean?" Asked Albus as he realised the room was indeed quite a tip, Scorpious looked mortified.

"You shouldn't spell potion equipment. Ever! The spell could react with a chemical or ingredient you had in there and you could break the pot, not to mention all the other dangers! Didn't you listen at all in first year potions?"

"No, not really. If you have to do everything by hand, I think I'll stay and help." Scorpious nodded and set to work.
