During the journey to Hogwarts, Scorpius fell asleep against Albus's shoulder. The latter, not knowing how to react to the proximity of the blonde boy, remained stoic for a few moments. However, the smell of shampoo tickled his nostrils and he guessed where it was coming from. Slowly, trying to avoid waking up the sleeping boy, he brought his nose closer to his friend's blonde hair and sniffed the pleasant scent. Scorpius's hair smelled so good. Curiously, Albus reached out a hesitant hand and stroked a blonde strand of hair, realising that it was as soft as its scent.
