Chapter 2:

Scorpius landed hard on his ass in the middle of a hallway. As he stood up he brushed his hands along his clothes to straighten them out, he did not like wrinkled clothes. As he scanned the hall he realized he was standing just down the way from the Slytherin common room and thought it would be best to go find the Headmaster first. He was tired and hungry and all he wanted to do was quickly find Hermione and hold her. He had seen pictures of her when she was this age and knew she was just as beautiful in his time as she was here.

The problem would be getting her to trust him and fall in love with him, if he was not mistaken she just started to date Ron this year and they all still hated his father. As he was making it to the stairs leading out of the Dungeons he ran into a hard object and landed on his ass once more. Looking up he saw the cold grey eyes of his father and shrunk slightly away.

"Who the hell are you?" Draco asked, Scorpius stood up, brushing his clothes off yet again and looked at his father. He was slightly taller then Scorp with the same Blond hair and built. The only real difference was the eyes, Draco had stormy grey while he has the Blue.

"Name is Scorpius and I think we are related." He said as he placed his hand out in front of Draco.

"I don't have any relatives here that look so much like me, so who are you." Draco said as he pulled out his wand and pointed it at Scorpius.

"I am really your cousin, I'm from America. I just got here and got lost trying to find the Headmaster's office." Scorp said standing tall and looking right into his fathers eyes. He knew Draco appreciated people who did not act afraid and looked in your eyes when they talked. Draco's wand hand wavered for a moment and then he put his wand back.

"I'll take you, but I am telling you one thing. If you are not in Slytherin then you are not related to me, Understand that Scorpius?" Draco snarled at him.

"Yes I understand perfectly. Now take me to the Headmaster."

Scorpius followed Draco around the halls and up the stairs to the Headmasters office and bid Draco farewell when he got there. When he walked into the room he saw the Headmaster standing behind his desk looking at him.

"Well you are new here, I don't remember any other Malfoy's being at this school right now."

"Ah No sir. I actually graduated about eighteen years in the future sir." Scorpius said as he sat down in his favorite chair from his time.

"Ah well I see. Can I assume that your father is Draco Malfoy then."

"Yes sir, he is."

"What brings you here to this time young one." Dumbledore asked as he popped a candy into his mouth, smiling with a twinkle in his eyes like he already knew.

"Well I know it is sort of stupid sir but there is this girl, she is my other half, my soul mate, but I couldn't be with her in my time so I came here."

"Can you tell me the name of this person, I may be able to help."

"No sir, I can't. I don't want to mess anything up and if I don't try to prove my self on my own then she will never trust me, never want to be with me."

"I see, Now do you want to be sorted in front of the school or do you want to do that here."

"I would like to in front of the school Sir. I think it would be better that way people don't think I influenced you into putting me somewhere."

"You are wise. Alright dinner will be starting soon, let's walk down there and wait for the students to arrive." Scorpius nodded his head and followed the Headmaster though the school to the Dinning Hall.

"I assume you know your way around then Mister Malfoy, I do have to ask who do I say you are."

"Well I ran into my father, He knows my name and thinks I am a cousin from America. I think that will be fine. I'll just say that my parents are dead and I don't want to talk about it. That way no one will bug me, I already know what house I will be put into so shouldn't be hard keeping those kids away from me."

"Thought this out have you?"

"Not too much, just on the way up here with my father." Dumbledore laughed which made Scorpius smirk.

Once in the Hall Dumbledore took his seat and told Scorpius to wait by the teachers entrance while the kids piled into the room. As soon as the other students were sitting down Dumbledore stood up and said his speech.

"Finally we have a new student here today, He will be sorted just like everyone else was. His name is Scorpius Malfoy and he is a distant cousin from America to our very own Draco Malfoy from Slytherin." Scorpius could here all the excitement coming from the hall and suddenly got nervous. He had forgotten how hated his father was to everyone out side his house.

"Scorpius can you please come here" He slowly walked out and sat on the stool in front of the whole school. As he looked out on the sea of students his eyes stopped at the Gryffindor table and right on Hermione. His eyes locked with hers and he smiled, seeing her blush slightly and quickly look away. He felt the hat being placed onto his head and he held his breath.

"Ah another Malfoy, but not who you actually say you are. A time traveler looking to be with the woman he was destined to love. The road will be a long one little one. But never give up. I see you were in Slytherin in your time, I think that you should stay there, give you some challenge to get your love. SLYTHERIN" The hat called out and Scorpius noticed the hurtful look Hermione was now sending his way, it made his heart break a little knowing she would hate him like this.

He made his way down to his table and found a seat right next to his father and his Uncle Blaise. He missed his uncle terribly, he had gone off to America and decided to stay there, away from all the problems and he had not seen him since. His father would not let him contact him and he thinks they had a rather big fight about something involving him but he wasn't to sure.

"Hey mate you look just like our Draco here." Blaise said as he slapped Scorpius on the back.

"Yeah but just cause I look like him doesn't mean I act like him." Scorp laughed making the rest of the table do so except Draco.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean, you don't even know me. You may be my cousin but I never met you before in my life."

"Thank Merlin for small favors then." Scorpius knew he shouldn't bait his father like this but he needed people to know he wasn't going to follow him around blindly.

Draco stood up and pointed his wand at Scorpius, who in turn just stood up staring at him in return.

"What are you going to do, hex me in front of everyone Draco?" Draco's arm wavered a minute before he sat back down. "Thought so" Scorpius said before he sat down again also. He stole a glance over to Hermione and saw her whispering with Harry and Ron while glancing back at him.

Hermione POV

When Dumbledore announced the new kid, I think Harry and Ron's jaws dropped all the way to the floor. Another Malfoy in this place was bad enough but one that looked exactly like him was worse. I looked up just in time to see him staring at me and smile, why would he smile at me?

"Oi Did you see that, did he just smile at you Mione?" Ron asked throwing his arm over my shoulder. We started dating a couple days ago but I wasn't really comfortable with public display of affection yet, or about our relationship yet either.

"I don't think he was, he doesn't even know me. Plus if he is a Malfoy you know he was brainwashed into hating Gryffindor's."

"Yeah I don't like him, he's Malfoy's cousin after all." Then we heard the hat call out Slytherin and I couldn't help my reaction of disappointment and disgust coming across my face and then I saw him looking at me and he looked, well sad. Why would he look sad about being where his whole family had been.

"See he's just a snake like the rest of his family, at least we don't have to be stuck with him other than in class." Harry said

"Yeah" I agreed half heartedly. I tried to change the subject to what they thought Snape would be teaching this year when we heard a commotion coming from across the room. When I looked over my mouth almost dropped, Draco had his wand pointed at Scorpius, but Scorpius didn't have his drawn. It looked like the cousin's did not like each other and that Scorpius was being the better of the two and leaving wands out of it.

Harry looked at me and then at Ron with a weird look on his face for a few moments before he found his voice and spoke.

"Well looks like there is going to be a battle of the Malfoy's. That should be entertaining to watch."

"Harry how could you say that. Scorpius could of gotten hurt from Malfoy if he actually used his wand." I said

"Hermione do you actually think Malfoy would of hexed his own cousin, I don't" Ron laughed.

"Well it does not look like they like each other very much. We should at least give Scorpius a chance." I suggested

"Are you insane, he is a Slytherin and a Malfoy, I don't think that goes without saying he is just as much a evil git as his cousin." Harry spat out.

"I don't care I think he deserves a chance."

"What has gotten into you Hermione, you know better than anyone how Malfoy is."

"Yes that is him and not Scorpius, I'll see you guys later." I said as I got up and left. I don't know what was getting into me myself but after seeing Scorpius first looking sad when he saw me after being sorted then seeing him stand up against his cousin, it made me want to get to know him, get closer for some reason. I headed to the library to think about all this before I had to sit in Potions for over an hour.
