Scorpius' New Home?
The wall slid open. We all walked in. I looked around. There was a weird feeling of cold warmth emanating from the whole common room. The furniture was of mahogany, rather beautifully made. The fireplace was large and made grand with ornate carvings. There was a mantelpiece above it, made of dark green marble and silver. The floor was also made of the same marble. I banished my original slight distaste of the place and embraced it as my new home. It was beautiful, after all. I would just have to forget the feeling of coldness. But as we walked in, the fire which burst into being in the fireplace rather dispelled that feeling. Perhaps it had been physical.
I went over and sat in one of the mahogany chairs. It was surprisingly comfortable. Immediately a flock of girls came over to me and sat in the nearby chairs. I grinned inwardly. This was my territory.
"Hello ladies…"
As I escaped the swooning girls and ran up the staircase, I saw a thin boy leaning against the wall on the landing. His face was sharp but calculating, and in a way handsome. That was a guy thought, by the way. I was just calculating if he would give me any competition, in the getting-the-girls front. I guessed he could get girls pretty easily, but he presented no competition whatsoever to me.
I slowed my pace and walked up to him. He extended his hand.
"Jason Zabini," he said. I took his hand.
"Scorpius. Scorpius Malfoy," I replied.
"Malfoy? Our dads were great friends. Maybe we will be as well."
"Sure," I said politely. I didn't want to give a great long answer; even though I had a feeling we would be friends. I think he understood. We started up the stairs, talking to each other.
As I slid in between my silk sheets, I thought, Life isn't gonna be bad at Hogwarts.
AN: I know this is short too, but it's not meant to be long. And also, I made a mistake in the first chapter of this fic. I said that the thin guy who was bullying Lily was called Blaise Zabini. Sorry. That was his dad. The guy who was in Lily's compartment was actually Jason Zabini.
