It was a bit strange in young Scorpius mind how people acted around him. As he was lead to his the Slytherin common room he stood rather close to Prefect Rigby.
"Why is everyone looking at me?"
Rigby looked down to him and laughed a little. He patted Scorpius on the head gently.
"Because you're a Malfoy. Your name has gone thru a lot you know."
Taking a deep breath he bowed his head a little bit. He knew what he was talking about. His grandfather had dragged the family name thru the mud. All of his working with the Dark Lord, same with his aunt, mothers sister. They all showed what pure evil was. But his father and grandmother had worked hard, to do the best that they could to bring pride to the Malfoy name. His grandfather had been put back into Azkaban, his grandmother pardoned as she never really was a Death Eater. His father never committed any acts of the other therefore was never tried and a Death Eater and also gave names of the others. He worked hard to get the life back for the family, so very hard. And it seems that things were starting to work.
Scorpius Took a deep breath as he started to shake his head a little getting the thought out of his head. He looked up as his group stopped and he smiled a little as he looked around. There was nothing but a blank dungeon wall he watched as Prefect Rigby cleared his throat and stated the password and smiled a little as he led the others in.
He was in awe as he looked around the common room, the house colors of green and sliver where all around. The windows where tinted green and outside seemed to be the view of water. Perfect Rigby cleared his throat and waited for the first years to calm.
"Now, first year girls will be to the right all the way up, and boys on the left all the way up. You'll find that all of your pets will be here, owls will be in the owlery."
He shooed them on and he made his way as he looked around a few other boys behind him. He looked around and picked out a bed right next to a window and looked out it watching as a small fish swam by and he smiled a little. He took a deep breath and watched as a boy with a caramel colored skin looked around a little.
"Looking forward to a year hear. What about you lot?"
He looked over to a rather large boy as a first year grunted and nodded his head. The boy then turned to look over to Scorpius holding out his hand.
"What about you? Malfoy right? I'm Blaise Zabini."
Scorpius nodded his head a little taking his hand.
"Yes, Scorpius. Just looking forward to getting to classes really."
He took a breath as he looked to the other boys in the room. Only two other stepped up and smiled a little. The large boy was one of them and he looks grunting a little.
"Robert Goyle."
The other boy who stepped up was tall and thin. He smiled a little as he held out his hand.
"Surge Rigby."
Scorpius nodded a little as he looked to the taller boy.
"Prefect Rigby's bother I take it?"
The tall boy nodded his head a little and smiled. It was clear that he was happy about that. Must be happy for his big brother. Scorpius took another breath as he sat on his bed looking out the window. He made a face as he shook his head sure that he saw an eye swim by. Taking a breath he started getting ready for bed looking forward to classes the next day.
He made his way thru the halls making his way to his transfiguration class when he was bumped knocking him to the floor. He took a breath and dusted off his robe as he stood up and turned to see who knocked into him.
There stood a young boy with untied jet black hair and brown eyes stood smirking at him.
"My uncle warned me about you and the train station. You're Malfoy."
Scorpius just stood and nodded his head as he looked to the boy. He did know why he was knocked to the floor but it was for a reason.
"My uncle told me to watch out for you." He smirked a little as he leaned in to speak so only Scorpius could hear. "He said your family where murders."
Scorpius made a face and quickly pushed away from the boy. His eyes wild as he stared at him. It was clear that he was older but it didn't matter to him.
"Don't ever talk about my family."
Scorpius shoved him and made a face. The boy grabbed him by the robe reading to punch him.
"James Potter!"
They both looked and spotted a professor making their way over to him. James was quick to drop Scorpius and to act like he did nothing wrong.
"Prof. Longbottom. How are you doing today? My mom and dad wanted me to give you there love!"
He took a breath as he made his way over grabbing James by the robe. He looked to Scorpius and his eyes went a little flat but he smiled a bit.
"Are you ok Young Malfoy? Was Mr. Potter causing you problems?"
HE smiles a little and nodded his head as he gripped his bag.
"Yes professor I'm ok, and no, just wanted to make a few comments to me. I'm sure he regrets them now."
Scorpius made a little bit of a face as he gripped his bag and started to make his way to class trying to forget what happened. He made it to class finding a seat next to Surge and smiled a little as he pulled his books out readying for class.
He had a feeling that what had happen wouldn't be the last. He knew who Potter was, least the name. His father was the one who stopped the Dark Lord. He would have to do something about it, but not threw the teachers. He would write to his cousin Teddy. He was glad when he found that his father and Grandmother mended the bridges with his grandfather and he was able to have some family.
He knew that he couldn't let him get to him though. James. He wouldn't. He wanted very much too just go to school and be able to reach his goals of making his family proud of him.
