Chapter 4:
Scorpius was laying on his bed in and empty dorm room. He knew his father and uncle were in this room, just by the names on the trucks at the end of the other beds. He feared he would end up hurting or being hurt by his father. His thoughts kept going back to the look on Hermione's face when she saw the necklace. He knew that she knew he was not from this time, but he wasn't sure if she knew he was from the future or not.
He wanted to tell her everything but knew that would mess more stuff up then needed. He wanted to be with her, he was not planning on returning to his own time but he also knew that would cause a lot of problems.
Deep down he understood he would have to return to his own time, and still be years younger than his love. He also knew that everyone would hate him for walking out on Rose the way that he did. He slowly let sleep take over and prayed the dreams would be nice.
Back in the future at the Malfoy house….
Draco walked around his house frantically looking for his son. He couldn't believe he would just walk out on his wedding day like that. He was furious his only heir would soil their name like he was doing now.
When Rose walked out into the gardens crying he knew right then his son fucked up. He was hoping that Blaise was wrong about everything he said, but now he knew he was right. He felt like a giant ass for loosing his friend that way, but what else could he have done.
Hermione walked into the parlor seeing Draco pacing across the floor, red in the face with anger. She didn't want to tell him why his son walked out on her daughter today but she needed to make sure he was alright.
"Draco, you need to calm down." She said as she walked up to him.
"Calm down Hermione, how can you be so calm. My son just walked out on YOUR daughter on her wedding day." Hermione hung her head a little and sighed.
"I know this Draco, but what can we do. We can not force these kids to do this. I love my daughter and will be there for her in this time, but your son doesn't love her, what can we do."
"Force him to marry her."
"And have my daughter loose years with a man that does not love her, she will be hurt more in the end." She said looking him in the eye.
"I get that. I'm sorry. I need to talk to Blaise." Hermione was shocked. Draco had not talked about Blaise in a while and it shocked her to hear him mention his once best friend.
"What about?" She asked curious.
"He had told me something about Scorp that I didn't believe until now. I've been thinking about it and he looks so much like the relative I named him after. Too much like him." Draco said waiting for Hermione to catch on, he then saw her eyes light up at the realization.
"Oh my. You don't think that he is the cousin that came our last year of school?" she asked a little worried, remembering everything that happened that year.
"Yes I do think that, and I think I know why he called the wedding off." He pointedly said to Hermione with a scowl on his face.
"Draco I."
"No don't talk . I don't want to know anything right now. I have to go talk to Blaise."
Back to the past…
Scorpius Woke the next morning dreading going to classes. He was actually surprised to wake up and find the room empty. He at least thought his father would be in the room ready to hex him when he awoke. He quickly pulled a shirt on and threw his robes on over himself, and ran out to get to breakfast.
He noticed the looks he received from his house when he entered and decided to sit at the far end, alone. He had never felt so alone in his life, so used to having his friends and family around. Slowly he lifted his head to see Hermione staring at him and Ron glaring at her. He knew that she would corner him sooner or later about the time turner and was greatly worried about it. He had no clue what he would say but he knew he had to lie to her about it.
So later that day when he found him self backed into a corner in the astronomy tower by one really annoyed Hermione he was not surprised.
"Hey Hermione, what's going on?" He asked trying to sound happy.
" You know what. I want to know where you got this." She said as she pulled his chain and reviled the time turner.
"I got it from a family friend. Told me to use it when I needed to, and I needed to."
"Why? When are you from?" Hermione asked looking into his eyes. His smiled wavered at her questions and he slid down the wall, taking a seat on the cold stone floor.
"I, I came here because I had to get away from where my parents were killed, not to far into the future I figure. I didn't know where or when it would bring me, I just turned it." The look on Hermione's face was priceless to Scorpius the worry in her eyes.
"Are you crazy? Just turning it, anything could have happened."
"I know, I wasn't thinking at the time. My parents just died and I had people trying to get to me also and I had to get out of there." He hated lying to her but he knew he couldn't tell her the truth.
"Oh Scorpius I'm sorry. That must have been horrible." She said as she wrapped her arms around him. He loved the smell of her hair and the feel of her body against his. He missed it, more than he thought he would. It had been some time since him and the future Hermione had been intimate.
Holding onto her like this made him want her even more. He couldn't help it when she pulled back and looked into his eyes. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against her, with out really knowing what he was doing.
Hermione quickly pulled away and held her hand over her mouth. She stared wide eyed at him as he hung his head down in shame.
"Scorpius I. I'm sorry, I can't do that. I'm with"
"Ron. I know. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. We don't really know each other, It's just that I feel this pull to you. I've got to go." Scorpius quickly took off, leaving her standing there staring after him.
Scorpius threw himself on his bed, not really knowing what to do. His body froze when he heard the door open and looked up to see his father and uncle walk though the door.
"What are you doing here?" Draco asked
"I live here, what's it look like.?"
"Looked like you were having a good cry. That's what a shit Malfoy looks like Blaise." Draco stated looking at his friend.
"Hey don't you think we should go easy on him? He is related to you." Blaise said sending a sympathetic look towards Scorpius.
"Hell no, His family is a disgrace to the Malfoy name, why would I want to be nice to him."
"Because the war is over, It's not my fault who my parents are, they are no longer around. You are however my cousin, and always will be. We are family can't we get along already?" Scorpius asked.
"You like Mud Blood's. You want to associate with other houses. Why would I want to be seen with you?" Draco spat out.
"Like I just said the war is OVER. You helped in the end, why can't you get past everything and move on already. I want to be able to get along." Scorpius stated.
Draco looked between Scorpius and Blaise for a couple minutes before sitting down on his bed. He looked up at who he thought was his cousin and began to talk.
"I never knew about you. My parents never talked about the family that was disowned. So I just figured that you were a disgrace to the name."
"Well I'm not. My parents were great, they loved each other and they loved me. My dad still believed in some of the old ways and tried to push some of it on me, but nothing to do with the hatred of muggles. I want to make as many friends as I can, and that includes you, my family." Scorpius told him.
"Fine, but don't expect me to become instant friends with any of the other houses. Some things don't change that quick."
"I understand that, just leave my friends alone and I will be happy."
"I think that can work. Now lets get to class." The three finally came to an agreement and Scorpius was happy. He didn't want to be stuck in this time and be fighting with the only family he knew.
Back in the future…..
"Blaise, Blaise. Damn I know you are there. Come on I'm sorry, I need to talk to you about Scorpius." Suddenly Blaise's face appeared in the fire and looked awfully pissed.
"What the hell do you want Malfoy?" Blaise said threw gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry alright. I think you may be right about Scorpius, the one from the past. I think he may be may have been my son."
"What makes you believe me now?"
"Can you just come here so we can talk? I hate squatting down like this." Seconds later Blaise was standing in front of him, dusting black soot off his clothes.
"Alright so why do you believe me now?"
"Well you know Scorpius was getting married today, and he was very upset that you were not here. Anyway he called it off Because he didn't love her but someone else."
"And this leads you to believe what I said."
"No I was talking to Hermione and she was saying something about you can't help who you fall in love with and it hit me. He loved Hermione, and that they had been well involved. Then I remembered about what you said about my son looking a lot like my cousin, too much alike."
"Yeah you did name him after him, since he disappeared and no one knew what happened."
"Yeah, so I'm sorry I didn't believe you before. I just thought it was so out there it was not possible. I want my son back, how do we do that?"
"I don't know Draco. I just remember he left shortly after he arrived. During Christmas Hols. Hermione was so broken after that I didn't think she would ever be the same."
"I know, I think that is was connected us all together to finally becoming friends. Let's go have a drink now and catch up on old times."
Back to the past….
Hermione was sitting in the common room, enjoying the book that was in front of her, when Ron plopped down next to her. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in for a kiss. She kissed him back but it just didn't feel the same any more, she still hated when he did this in front of other people and she didn't understand why.
"What's wrong Mione?" Ron asked a little concerned with how she was acting.
"Nothin. I'm just worried about how Scorpius is doing in the Slytherin Dorms. Draco was really a prat to his own cousin." Ron's face turned red at hearing the other Malfoy's name.
"Why are you so concerned about that prat for. He is just like his cousin." Harry sat down just then looking at the two arguing. Hermione shoved Ron's arm off her shoulder and moved away from him.
"He is not like his cousin. His whole attitude is different. Why can't you give him a chance to prove he is different. He has not once called me names, or raised his wand at you, even though he should have after the way you treated him. Same goes for you Harry so take that smirk off your face." Harry held his hands up in defense and smiled at his friend.
"Hey I'm giving the guy a chance. He seemed alright in classes today. He may look like Malfoy and have the last name but I think he is different than the rest."
"WHAT, Have you gone insane Harry. How can you say that when his family has done so much to us. They almost got Ginny killed for crying out loud. How can you give in so easily."
"Ron the war is over. I'm done fighting. I want to live my life as normal as possible from now on, and if that means befriending the Malfoy's than I will. I think you need to get your head out of your arse before you lose your friends." Harry smiled at Hermione and left.
"Ron I really need to go to the library and work on this Potions essay. I'll talk to you later." As she got up Ron gave her another kiss and she tried to not look upset about it.
