Taken By Flames

Chapter Two

Tuesday, December 19, 2017

Dear Sam,

I'm afraid father is still not letting me come to your party this Thursday. He still insists I should go to his own stupid formal party, and I really wanted to come at your place. I'll see if I can reason him. Otherwise I'll sneak off the lame-o's and come join you and the other lads.

See ya!
-Scorp.

Scorpius sighed as he pressed the send button, sending his best friend an email from his computer. He really had been bugging his father for days to allow him to go to the party where all his friends would be at, instead of taking him to a stupid party with all the upper class people who Scorpius despised.

He huffed and kicked his desk as he got up from his chair, having closed his computer with a voice command, falling on his bed and sighing. "This sucks…" he mumbled. He was twelve, and hated waiting for so long. He just wanted to get on with life already. He wanted to grow up. To be a teen, like the sixth and seventh years at Hogwarts. They knew how to party!

The young blond tapped his fingers on the headboard of his bed, making sighing noises. He wasn't sure what he was waiting for exactly, but he knew he would persuade his father. He just had to figure out the way.

"I said no, Scorpius, and it's final!"

"But it's not fucking fair, dad! All the others are going to Mark's party tonight, and I'm not!" Scorpius protested angrily in the fierce fight he'd gotten in with his father. He hated him, hated what he was doing to his reputation and friendships. "I hate you!" he spat out, not realizing he'd said it out loud.

"Go…" Draco breathed, trying to calm down himself. "Go to your room and stay there until I say otherwise. You're grounded, and you're giving me all your muggle devices!" he snapped and looked at his son in disbelief.

Scorpius whimpered and looked at his dad with almost tearful eyes. "I didn't…. I don't…." he tried.

"Get out of my sight. And you're coming with me tonight to the meeting, wether you like it or not." Draco whispered steadily, his voice giving out a little bit of a twitch at the end of his sentence.

Scorpius hung his arms on his sides and sighed, also hanging his head as he walked down the hall and into his room, closing the door behind him.

Draco sighed and poured a drink for himself, some of the old FireWhiskey he'd kept from the good days, when he still could visit the Wizarding world.

He had to admit that this was a first. Scorpius had never talked back to him like that, and Draco found it really hard to keep himself from doing something he would regret.

"He's twelve, for crying out loud." Draco sighed and calmed himself down, drinking some more Whiskey and sighing as he sat on his leather armchair, closing his eyes and needing a cigarette really badly.

Picking himself up, Draco came back to reality an hour later. He had spent the last hour thinking over how he would handle the rest of the situation with Scorpius, since it was obvious there were no choices. But Scorpius would have to come with him that night, he didn't dare to leave him alone at the house. For all Draco knew he could set the place on fire, or he'd just get his electronics out and lock himself in his room. He sighed, rubbing the tiredness out of his eyes as he walked down the hall, knocking on Scorpius's door.

"Can I come in?" he asked gently.

Scorpius walked to the door, opening it and silently letting his father in.

"You're still grounded, and giving me all your electronics. Your behavior is really bad lately, Socrpius. What's the matter?" Draco said as he sat on his bed.

"Let it go dad, you wouldn't understand." Scorpius mumbled.

Draco closed his eyes to calm himself once more. "Just try to explain, I'll understand." He said.

"You're not the one who's gay, and trying to fit in, dad, so leave it." Scorpius mumbled under his breath.

Draco sighed softly and moved closer to Scorpius, stroking his son's hair; or at least trying to, because Scorpius pulled away and looked at the wall. "I get how hard it is for you. But sometimes I say no for your own good. I know that this party is going to be dangerous for a twelve year old. Just this once, admit I'm right, and I'll let you go on all the other parties, okay?" he mumbled softly.

Scorpius nodded. "Alright, I won't go. I'll come to that other party of yours." He lied and looked away.

Draco smiled. "Good boy. Now, how about you and me go bake some cookies until it's time to get ready for the evening?" he asked with a grin.

Scorpius grumbled. "I s'ppose…." He replied.

Draco nodded and got up, heading out of the room after Scorpius gave him all his devices, along with his phone and laptop, and all of the others he had, heading out to hide them and lock them in his room. Once that was done, he waited for Scorpius.

They spent the rest few hours making cookies in silence, but something was definitely off. Scorpius was planning in his mind, and Draco knew it, but shrugged it off.

"Oi, Scorpius, drink up!" Mark laughed.

Scorpius grinned and took the plastic cup that Mark offered him, with what seemed like a soda, but really wasn't; it was party soda, with a bit of whiskey and a dissolved pill. But Scorpius didn't know that.

"Mate, you're insane, I have no idea how you managed to plan all that and actually make it here!" Sam smirked and gave his best friend's shoulder a rough pat.

Scorpius grinned, feeling slightly dizzy. He slowly let a hiccup slip, giggling like an idiot for a while as he remembered what he actually went through to get to this party.

When his father had told him where the formal party was held, he'd held himself from screaming. It was literally three blocks away from Sam's house, where the other party was at. The plan was simple. Scorpius would go to the party with his dad in formal clothes, wearing the other party clothes from underneath, and then when his father wouldn't be paying attention, he'd sneak out from the patio and into the street, and then walk to the other party. It all sounded so simple in Scorpius's mind.

When it all came to life the same day that his dad had not allowed him to go, Scorpius was keeping himself from freaking out and kept eating the snacks from the buffet. He munched on loads of tarts and sweets, to keep himself from speaking. He waited, and waited until finally his father was caught up in a business conversation with his two friends, some Blaise Zabini who Scorpius thought was a sexy man like a model in one of his muggle magazines was, and the other was some Pansy Parkinson, a scary woman who looked like a pug to Scorpius which he despised. He managed to hide under the buffet and made sure no one was at the patio before sneaking out in the darkness. He had taken off his formal clothes and left them on a couch outside the house, not really caring about them as he ran off into the streets to catch the others.

As soon as he'd arrived at the party, his friends began praising him and cheering that he made it. He could see everyone there. Mark, Sam, George, Nicolas, Amy, Margaret and Brett, along with some other kids, probably classmates. He smiled as he saw all of them and his eyes danced over Brett for a while, letting out a faint sigh. The older boy was as gorgeous as ever. He had developed a crush over him a while back, and he liked him. All these friends he had though, were Muggles. And so Scorpius had to lie about his move, saying he had needed to change schools, so he made sure he was kept in contact with Sam.

Now that Scorpius was actually there, he was feeling a lot more dizzier, the loud music making his head throb painfully.

"Where's the bathroom?" Scorpius mumbled suddenly and someone showed him the way, and the only thing Scorpius could hear was 'Don't be such a pussy, Scor, it's only one pill in the drinks.' and then he was clutching his hand over his mouth as he scurried to the bathroom, vomiting loudly.

The sounds he made rang into his ear and made his head hurt more, along with his now poisoned stomach. He got up and washed his mouth, finally understanding that the soda was not soda. He wiped his mouth on a towel, whimpering as he stumbled out of the bathroom and tried finding the back door. He had to escape this hell.

He cried out when someone yanked him from his collar and whimpered, trying to fight in his dizziness.

"Shh, blondie. It'll be okay."

Scorpius heard a voice hiss in his ear and he was then certain that he didn't know that person. He tried struggling and screaming, but the music was too loud. "Leave me alone! I did nothing wrong! Please!" he begged, actually bursting into tears as someone lifted him in the air, placing him on a large shoulder as he was carried out of the house and to another place.

Scorpius kept struggling and whimpering, hating himself for going to that party. "Please… Please let me go! I didn't know what these drinks had in them, I'm sorry if I broke a law! Please, please, I'm sorry, I'll never disobey my father again!" He sobbed and tried to get away from the man that was holding him, now sure of it because of the height and the muscles he felt.

"Shut up."

The harsh words where the last ones Scorpius heard before he was knocked out, his head slamming against something hard and cold, his eyes falling shut as everything blurred out and went dark.

That's it for now, next chapter up tomorrow! :D
