I know I have not updated in forever! But hopefully this chapter was worth the wait!

Albus paced back and forth in the Gryffindor common room. There had to be something he had missed, they kissed and then Scorpius ran. Did that mean he was a bad kisser? Had someone been coming? Albus slammed his head into the wall, he had thought all those things before and he still didn't have an answer.
"Is there a reason you are trying to give yourself a concussion?" Lysander asked.
Albus grabbed his shoulders and started whispering urgently, "Last night things got even worse! or better...I don't know! Scorpius kissed me! Then ran away...What does that mean?"
"Wh-what are you talking about?" That was when Albus realized he hadn't grabbed Lysander but his identical twin brother, Lorcan.
"I-I g-gotta go!" Albus ran out of the common room into the hall. Now both brothers knew...well Lorcan was still pretty confused but that didn't make it any better. Why was this getting so complicated?

Lysander walked down into the common room, he had slept in unusually late this morning and was going to go to the library to finish some homework. He was surprised to see Lorcan sitting on one of the couches looking into the fire with a weird look on his face. "Hey! What's up?" he asked sitting down next to his twin.
"What the hell is going on with Albus?"
"What do you mean?" Lysander asked, there was a lot of things he could be referencing to.
"Well I guess Scorpius kissed him and ran away. He was surprised when I didn't know anything, so I'm assuming he was looking for you."
"Oh that," Lysander laughed. "Yeah, that's a long story."

Scorpius paced back and forth, what was he supposed to do? There was no way he could face Albus before he figured out what he was thinking and all he had been thinking about was how much he liked Albus' lips.
"If you keep pacing like that you're going to wear a hole into the ground," Mordred laughed walking into the room and flopping onto one of the couches. "So what's your problem?"
There was no way he could tell anybody what was going on. 'Oh you know that little bet about snogging a Gryffindor I won! Albus is a good kisser!', yeah that probably wouldn't go over well. At the same time he needed somebody's opinion. "Oh! You must have heard!"
"Heard what?" Scorpius asked his pacing stopping immediately.
"Last night Adair went out after curfew and saw two people snogging!" Scorpius' stomach dropped. He had been positive no one had been near them. Did Adair tell anybody?
"R-really? Who?" Scorpius asked trying not to show how freaked out he was.
"Ivy and Lorcan. I guess that is who she was going out to meet at Hogsmeade. Who would have thought she would be the one to date a Gryffindor."
"H-how did Adair react?" Scorpius asked trying to hide how relieved he really was.
Mordred sighed, "How do you think? He's still pissed, especially at Ivy. He even threatened to go and use an unforgivable curse on Lorcan. They were up late arguing. I went to bed before it ended so I don't know what they decided."
"Ivy better warn the poor guy, you know, before Adair murders him."
"Hey where were you last night? You didn't come back to the dorms until late."
Scorpius stopped like a deer in headlights. He had no idea how to answer that. "I was just walking around. I couldn't sleep," Scorpius shrugged before walking out of the Slytherin common room. He needed somewhere to think and Adair threatening to kill a Gryffindor would not help him any.
Mordred watched him walk out of the entryway. Scorpius had been acting weird lately. He shrugged, eventually Scorpius would tell him but until then he would leave him alone.

Albus had been freaking out all morning. Lorcan now knew what was going on and he was no closer to figuring out what was up with Scorpius. There was only one place left that he could turn to. "Hey Rose, I have a question for you," Albus sat down next to his cousin in the dining hall.
"What is it?" she asked not looking up from the book she was reading. Albus was surprised to see that it was the rules for quididitch. Not one of her usual reads. "Are you just going stare at the book or ask your question?" she asked finally looking up from the book.
"Okay, here's the thing. I am having girl issues and you are the only girl that I thought I could turn to sooo..."
"So what is the issue?"
"Well, I don't know what she's feeling."
"So talk."
"What?"
Rose sighed as she shut her book and turned to face Albus. "Boys are oblivious. If you want to know something ask her! Guessing and avoiding the issue is such a waste of time!" Albus just stared at her shocked as she turned back to her book and started reading again. He sat there staring at her trying to figure out what he was supposed to do. "Now would be the time to go find this girl and talk to her."
"Oh right," Albus laughed awkwardly before standing up and walking away. Rose was always right so maybe that is what he should do, just talk to Scorpius. At the same time though what was he supposed to say? 'Hey you kissed me, did you like it?' That would not work. Maybe just walking up to him and seeing what came out was the best option. Unless nothing came out, that would be bad.
Albus would have to find a way they could talk! He would have to think of something!

Scorpius walked down to the dining hall later then he usually did. He had spent most of the night tossing and turning trying to figure out what he was thinking. The two hours that he had been able to sleep were filled with dreams that had made him wake up sweating. He shook his head trying to make himself forget those dreams.
"Hey, you look horrible," Ivy said when he sat down at the table next to them.
"Thanks," he sneered grabbing some toast off one of the plates.
"No seriously, didn't you sleep last night?"
"Not really," he admitted.
"Hey, don't try to change the subject Ivy!" Adair growled.
"I wasn't trying to change the subject! I already told you I am done talking about that!"
"Talking about what?" Scorpius asked Mordred as Adair and Ivy started yelling at each other.
"Her dating Lorcan and not telling us. They have been arguing about it all morning." Scorpius nodded and grabbed some more food. It wasn't like they could do anything to make the two of them stop arguing.
Scorpius looked up when the owls started flying in. It was unlikely that he would get a letter so he was surprised when an owl landed in front of him. All it had was a small note in it's beak and looked at Scorpius impatiently until he took it. As soon as the letter was out of the owl's beak it flew away.
"What do you have there?" Mordred asked noticing the strange owl that had landed in front of them. Scorpius shrugged as he unfolded the small note.
Meet me in the library tomorrow after classes. I am tired of running in circles. Please talk to me!
Albus
Scorpius had to read the note three times to understand what it was saying. Albus wanted to talk to him! In the library? Why would he pick a public place? Would he tell all of Hogwarts what he had done? There was no way! What was Albus planning?
"Scorpius?" Scorpius looked up to see Mordred staring at him, even Adair and Ivy had stopped arguing to look at him.
"Oh sorry, I think I dozed off. I guess not getting enough sleep is already getting to me," he laughed shoving the note into his pocket. "So what were you saying?"
"I was saying did you get your spell homework done?" Mordred repeated himself.
"Oh yeah, do you need to copy it?" Scorpius asked digging it out of his bag.
"Hey, pass that over here I didn't finish it either," Adair said grabbing parchment out of his bag and scribbling away.
"So I was right, you are an idiot," Ivy hissed before walking away.
"I think you seriously pissed her off this time," sighed Mordred, he was getting tired of trying to help fix their problems.
Adair just waved it off not even looking up from what he was writing, "She'll get over it!" Scorpius and Mordred doubted that.

Scorpius tossed and turned in his bed. What was he going to talk to Albus about? He didn't even know what he was thinking! Every time he thought of Albus his stomach twisted, but in a good way...at least he thought so. He had never felt like this before...did that mean he was actually gay? Did he have a crush on Albus?

Please review! I wanna know what you all thought of it!
