Summary: Albus and Scorpius sit their families down for a talk.

"So, Albus and I asked you all to come here so that we could share something with you," Scorpius said, as he looked across the table. Both the Malfoy and Potter families were gathered in a private room of a restaurant called Ambrosia.

"Now, I know our families don't exactly have the best relationship," Albus started, "And to be honest that might be an understatement-"

"Albus," Scorpius hissed quietly.

"-But just bear with us and try not to hex each other," Albus looked pointedly at Father while Scorpius eyed his own. Mr. Malfoy had a rather unreadable expression while Father looked at Albus as if he did not know why he was getting a warning. He took a deep breath and locked hands with Scorpius.

"Albus and I are dating. We have been for quite some time now and as we don't seem as if we'll be getting bored of one another any time soon, we decided it would be best to tell you all."

"Especially since we're considering movingintogether after graduation," Albus rattled off. To be honest, I doubt I would have caught what he said even if I was paying attention.

"What, Albus?" I asked.

"Lily," he smiled at me, "I'm going to move in with Scorpius."

"Oh," I said, "Congratulations..." Albus smiled.

"Albus, what are you talking about?" Mum asked. She looked paler than usual.

"You're dating the P- Albus?" Mrs Malfoy asked, as she clutched the table in front of her.

"Potter-" Mr. Malfoy started, and that made everyone else stop talking because to be honest the fathers were the ones we were probably all expecting an outburst from.

"Malfoy, don't say it," Father warned.

"Say what?" Mr. Malfoy smirked, "I told you so?"

"Malfoy-"

"Because if you can recall, I did."

"...All right," Father sighed, "... I'm as dense as rock, you're far more perceptive than I am and I'll pay for your drinks for the next three months, happy?"

"Delighted."

"Harry, what's going on?" Mum asked.

"I- Malfoy and I had a bet going, about when the boys would announce their relationship to the family. And the bloody git won," Father grumbled, and sipped at his wine. I wanted to laugh but I decided a silent chuckle would be better considering everyone else looked to be in shock.

"You knew?" And really I think most the table asked this simultaneously.

"Well, every once in a while Potter and I go out for a drink- surprising, I know. One night we happened to notice two blokes snogging and imagine our shock when we realized we knew them."

"You two get along?" Albus asked. "Since when?" Because clearly, that was the most important part of what Mr. Malfoy had said.

"Not so much get along, son."

"We can only stand one another if we're at least slightly inebriated."

"Well," Scorpius began, "I reckon this was a success then. How about we all have dessert and save the rest of the questions for later?"
