Two boys lay on the grass by the Black Lake, hidden from view of the castle. They both had their hands beneath their head's, staring up at the star-littered sky. They lay in silence for a while, until the blonde decided to break it.

"I've never done this before," he admitted.

"Really? My father and I used to do this all the time. He says all the great kings of the past are up there."

"You think Voldemort's up there?"

The raven-haired boy turned to look at him, his brow furrowed. "Scorpius-"

"He wasn't my father, or any sort of relative, but he's still a part of me, Albus," he explained.

"My father said there was a darkness in Voldemort that he couldn't escape."

The boys lapsed into silence again for a few minutes, but was broken by, "Maybe there's a darkness in me, too."

Albus propped his head up on his elbow, frowning at his best friend. "Don't say that, Scorpius. You're not evil."

"But my family is," Scorpius argued, looking up at the black-haired boy.

"Just because your family is one thing, doesn't mean you're that, too. You're an independent person, Scorpius. You're not like the Malfoy's."

"But-"

"Shut up. You're not evil. End of story, Scorpius," Albus snapped, lying back on the grass.

"I'm sorry," Scorpius whispered.

Albus offered his friend a small smile and stretched out his arm, beckoning him in. Scorpius obliged and moved closer to Albus, his head resting on the boy's shoulder. Albus hid his face in Scorpius' blonde hair, whispering back, "It's okay."
