AN: Nothing much to say, except that reviews are highly appreciated, even the ones that say "I love it". Although I prefer the longer ones saying WHAT you like or hate and any suggestions are always welcome!

Family
It was the Christmas holidays Albus and Scorpius's fourth year. Albus had broken up with his girlfriend, offering an apology and the reasoning that "his heart belonged to someone else". The boys finally understood that were more than friends. And they were fine with that.
They were spending that particular week at the Potters'. It was extremely cold that year, and it had been snowing on and off for two weeks, and constantly for the past few days. It was much too cold and snowy to play Quidditch.
"So, you boys won the Quidditch cup last year?" Harry asked them, snuggling a cushion on the couch where he'd once sat up with Draco all night, nursing his bleeding head.
"Yep!" Albus and Scorpius said in unison, proudly.
"We won the year before, though" James said defensively.
"Well you'd better win again this year! It doesn't do for Gryffindor to lose, the first year that you're captain of the team!" Harry said. James's ears went pink.
"No ways! We're gonna kick their arses" Scorpius laughed.
"Again" Albus added.
They all laughed and huddled in their couches for warmth. Ginny brought hot cocoa for everyone.
Clutching his steaming mug, Albus asked, "So when will Uncle Dray be here?"
Scorpius looked at Harry expectantly. "He'll probably be round for dinner" Harry replied, adjusting his glasses.
"I do hope he brings Lucien. That child is another Scorpius, I tell you" Ginny said fondly. They'd grown quite close to the Malfoy family over the past three years.
Later that day, Albus and Scorpius found themselves sitting on Albus's bed, bored. "This weather sucks" Albus commented grumpily, laying back on the bed. Scorpius sat cross legged at the bottom.
"I like it" Scorpius said.
"I'm bored" Albus complained.
"I can think of something to do" Scorpius said mischievously. Something they'd been unable to do much since being surrounded by their families.
"Oh yeah?" Albus grinned. He flicked his wand and the door closed. He wasn't legally allowed to do magic outside of school, but he couldn't be traced in his parents house. The ministry couldn't tell that it wasn't Harry or Ginny.
Scorpius moved so that he was on top of the other boy and they began kissing passionately. 'This is the best way to stay warm' Albus thought, smiling into Scorpius's mouth.
The boys didn't notice as their door opened. "Merlin, can't you find something else to do? It's bad enough I have to be exposed to this at school" Lily commented. She never meant it badly though. . . she wholly approved of Scorpius and Albus's relationship. She liked Scorpius a lot (like everyone did) and was secretly holding thumbs for getting him as a brother-in-law one day.
"Shit, Lils, you gave me a fright" Scorpius moaned, pulling away from Albus and resuming his position at the foot of the bed.
She laughed. "Sorry. You should find a better way to hide what you're doing though, if you don't want to get caught"
"It's not as if we're doing anything wrong!" Scorpius replied.
"Yeah, we're just regular teenage wizards, bored out of our pants in this weather" Albus said.
"Well, you need to keep it in your pants if you don't want to anger Mum and Dad" Lily stated indifferently.
"Lily!" Albus scolded, embarrassed. She always seemed to imply that Albus and Scorpius were having sex, when they were innocent, in that respect.
"I'm so glad I know what it's like to have a little sister" Scorpius laughed. Lily beamed. She loved that Scorpius saw her as a sister. She saw him as a brother. "Can you fuck off now?" Scorpius added, smiling sweetly.
She just laughed. "Fine, get back to. . . what you were doing" Lily winked.
They did just that.
ZOMG on Facebook I was saying how happy I was when I landed in London, and I accidentally said how happy I was when I landed in londong. Then my twin is like, "you were happy when you landed in long dong?" LOL. I always check my spelling now. . .
Decided to post these two close together since I've made you wait. . . I got a tattoo yesterday!! It's zero's tattoo from Vampire Knight, except it's on my wrist.
Next Chapter: Disagreement
"Do you have to say it like that?" Albus asked, annoyed. "Are you ashamed of me or something? Or ashamed of us?"
. . .to be continued!
