At Breakfast Scorp looked down at his timetable, then glanced at Albus and Rose's. Theirs were exactly the same.
Scorp sighed. There was no getting rid of these two.
Albus seeing Scorp's timetable whooped with joy.
"This is great Scorp! You, Rose and me. We'll be a team just like my dad and Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione! Don't worry! I know all the professors! Professor Jordan is a laugh and Professor Macmillan and Professor Longbottom were in Dumbledore's Army with my dad. And you know Professor Krum! Victor KRUM Scorp! And then Professor Binns is a ghost! Can you believe that? And you know Professor Slughorn and Professor McGonagall. I wonder why she still teaches…"
Scorp failed to hear the rest of what Albus said, because the mail was coming in and he could see Grin flying overhead.
"Are you alright Scorp? Asked Rose, "You look green."
Scorp felt green. Well if green felt like you were going to hurl, then yes. He felt like green.
Grin swooped down and dropped the letter in front of Scorp.
Now instead of being green, Scorp's face was chalk white.
The letter was a howler.
Scorp froze and closed his eyes.
And then;
Scorpius Lucius Malfoy! How dare you! How dare you be in Gryffindor? Your grandfather is rolling in his grave! You've brought shame onto this family! Do not bother coming home next holidays. Your mother agrees with me, so don't go running to her! Do not expect any other letters from us EVER!
And with that the howler exploded.
How had his father known? He hadn't even had a chance to tell him yet.
Suddenly Scorp realised that the hall was very quiet.
All eyes were on him.
Surprisingly all except the Slytherins had looks of pity on their faces. Scorp's face flushed in embarrassment.
Great. Now the whole school knew that he was an outcast, even to his own family.
Scorp glanced at the high table.
All the teachers except one were glazing down on him with saddened expressions on their faces.
Only Professor Slughorn has a different look on his face.
Guilt.
Ah. So that's where his father had been informed.
Scorp slid out of his seat and smiled at Rose and Albus,
"See you in class." He said.
He walked out of the Hall with his head high.
From behind him he could hear the distinct voice of James Potter laughing and saying,
"Serves him right! Filthy Death Eater!"
Scorp just walked on.
He didn't even blink.
His father would have been slightly less disappointed in him.
A/N:
Aww don't you just want to hug him?
By far this was the hardest chapter to do. I HAD THE RESEARCH! Gasp!
It almost killed me. Oh well.
