As September slowly faded to October the first Quidditch game of the season approached as well.

Scorpius passed his dorm room in the early hours of the day running his hands threw his hair. He heard the taps of the giant squid and walked over tapping back. He huffed out a breath and got dressed hopping to clear his head a little with his run.

Finishing his running he went to get his Qudditch uniform and head to the Prefect bathroom and ready himself. As he was about to give the password the door before him opened and out walked Rose. He was a little surprised as he could tell was she. He took a few steps giving her room to pass.

"I didn't think anyone else would be up this early."

She smiled a little as she looked to him. His hair damp with sweat, his skin covered in it as well giving his skin a strange sheen to it. His tank and shorts clung to his skin letting her see the out life of his form better. She turned away and tried to hide her blush with her slightly damp hair.

Scorpius trying to look anywhere but at her didn't notice her blushing but instead stared at the stone floor.

"Uh yes, well I'm normally up at this time. I run around the lake a few times in the morning. I guess I'm here a little later than normal, did a few extra laps."

Nodding her head she moved out of his way and started making her way back to her common room. She paused and turned to look at him again as he stated the password and readied to walk in.

"Scorpius? Um, good luck today."

He turned and had to admit he was a bit surprised to hear her say that but he smiled at her. Nodding his head, this time he couldn't turn away from her.

"Thank you Rose."

He watched her until she turned the corner and was out of sight before he made his way into the bathroom setting down his uniform he took a moment to think of it. Smiling again he shakes it out of his head before getting ready for the game.

He knows passed the locker room as he looked to the others. A few of the younger students on the team looking a bit pale. He stopped and took a deep breath before looking to the other to speak.

"Alright, we can do this. The Gryffindor will be cocky and think that we can walk all over us because of how many new players we have this year. But they don't know how good you all are. WE can do this."

HE smiled at them as they murmured in agreement before they made their way out of the locker room and to the field ready for the game.

He stood on the field making sure he was tall and straight. After a moment he found himself looking eye to eye with James Potter. He smiled a little as he watched him walk up the cocky look on his face like he knew that he was going to win. Coach Wood two first year students walked carrying the crate the held the balls. The set it down and ran off as wood looked to the two of them.

"I want it a good clean match. Captains shake hands."

He put his hand out taking the hand of James and shook. James made sure that he gripped his hand tightly before letting go. Scorpius pulled on a pair of mirrored lenses Qudditch goggles as he mounted his broom watching as Coach Wood grabbed the Quaffle putting the whistle in his mouth. Gripping it in his teeth he looked to both team.

"Three, Two…"

Fixing the whistle in his mouth blowing it sending all players into the air. Scorpius was quick to take high in the air looking around. He few circles around the field looking for the Golden Snitch. His eyes were keen; this was one thing that he knew that he was amazing at. Second in a lot of thing but this, his was good at this. Out of the corner of his eyes he spotted James mocking his every movement. He smirked a little as he took off flying up to the sky laughing a little bit as James followed him. He started circling more as James watched him. He knew that James would go higher than him and it was just what he wanted him to do.

The game trudged on and there was no sign of the Snitch. HE took a few breaths, Slytherin was down thirty points. It honestly didn't surprise him though, it was a new team and only one had been in an actual game before. He started moving a little lower, and then he spotted it. He took a deep breath as he went in a speeding dive corkscrewing slightly. Glancing over he spotted James right next to him. He knew he was just as good of a flyer as he was but he had to be better.

Pushing his body closer to his broom he urged his broom to be faster, be even just a little bit, it must be faster. He reached out seeing James hand do the same he inched up on the broom. He took a deep breath as he inched up on his broom a little bit more and wrapped his fingers around the tiny Golden Snitch. Grinning he pulled his broom up and slid back down so he was sitting on it properly. He grinned as he heard the announcer one of the Scamander, maybe both honestly announce the winning of Slytherin team.

The Team cheered as they left the locker room and he stood in there for a moment grinning ear to ear. He need that, the team need that honestly. After a few moments he once again slung his broom over his shoulder and made his way back to the castle.

"That was a very good game Mr. Malfoy."

He looked over to see Prof. McGonagall walking up from the field as well. Smiling he nodded his head as he walked over to her. She had really gotten up in the years since she had been there. But he respected her more than any teacher in the school.

"Thank you Professor. I know you would have rather Gryffindor win but I'm pretty happy about it."

She laughed a little as he offered her his arm. She smiled and took his arm as they made their way back to the school.

"That's very true Mr. Malfoy, as that was my house when I was at school, but I can admit when I see amazing flying."

He bowed his head a little feeling honored that she admired it. He looked out to the grounds and smiled a little, he really did love being at the school.

"How are you enjoying your classes? I'm sure they are a bit harder."

He knew that she was talking about the fact all O's in his O.W.L.'s so he was taking all top classes. Meaning as long as he did well in his N.E.W.T.'s he would be able to get into kind of career that he wanted. He smiled a little as he thinking about it.

"They're challenging, but I honestly really like them."

She smiles and nods her head a little.

"Good I'm glad, Prof. Stubbs says your doing will. Actually she says your one of the best students she's ever seen."

He smiles a little.

"It's my favorite subject. I've actually been looking in more advanced studies of the subject."

She looked to him and raised a brow as they reached the steps to the school. She stood there for moment thinking before she spoke to him again.

"Come to my office sometime next week, I think I know something you would like to do."

He looks to her and nods, already learning a few tricks of his own he was more than ready to learn more from a professor like her.

"I look forward it. Would you like me to escort you to your office professor?"

Letting go of his arm she smiled.

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, but I can take it from here. Go to your common room, I'm sure there waiting for you."

With that she left him to stand in the great hall. After a moment he thought about it he made his way to the Slytherin common room to be welcomed with cheering from the house.
