Albus made his way back into the Great Hall just as everyone was leaving, he caught Scorpius Malfoy's hand.

"Hey Scor," he said, Scorpius smiled at his best mate.

"Hey mate, where'd you get to?" he asked.

"Oh you know... just around," Albus mumbled, his best mate looked at him but decided not to push him any further.

"Alright mate, come on," Scorpius said, he dragged Albus to the Ravenclaw common room, he quickly answered the question and they walked through the portrait hole together.

"Have you got any homework that still needs doing Al?" Scorpius asked, he rolled his eyes at the look on Albus' face.

"Shit! I totally forgot," he said, he smiled 'sweetly' at Scorpius (Scorpius knows that Albus smiles that particular smile he knows he can't say no to anything Albus asks of him... comes from being crazy about him, Scorpius guesses). "Can you help me with my DADA essay, please, please Scor, pretty please?" Scorpius liked it when Albus begged him to help, it made him think of other times Albus might beg. Like sprawled naked across Scorpius' bed... bad thoughts, bad thoughts, he is your best mate, nothing more... plus he's straight, he likes girls... not like you, not that he knows you're gay... or crazy about him.

"Course I can Al," Scorpius said, he shook his head.

"Thank you Scorpi!" Albus exclaimed, he threw himself at his best mate. Scorpius' arms automatically wrapped around Albus' waist.

"Welcome, but I can't breathe," he mumbled into his best mate' ear. Albus promptly let go when he realised how close they were.

"Sorry Scor, forgot how fragile you are," Albus laughed.

"I'll get you for that!" Scorpius exclaimed, chasing his best mate out of the room and up to their shared dorm. Scorpius launched himself at Albus and pulled him down to the floor with him, soon they were wrestling on the floor, both in hysterics. Albus had just rolled them over so he had Scorpius pinned to the ground, it took all the self-control he had not to just kiss him; when Scorpius' eyes widened and he pushed Albus off him and scurried away, mumbling something that sounded like 'bathroom'. Albus just sat dejectedly on the dorm room floor. 'Well touching him more didn't help, I just scared him off,' Albus thought. 'Stupid brothers who think they know everything.'
