Disclaimer: I don't own anything of the Harry Potter saga, not the film, not the books.

AN: Glad Im back! (AVPM cit., could not resist) I missed you guys so much, and now that I've finally returned home with internet and my mac, I could write down all the ideas and scenes that popped in my mind in this times for LLM.

And they are tons, seriously!

As always, I'm without beta (if someone want to be, could do me a big favor! Please contact me, I don't bite!) so if this chap is so crappy, don't judge me so hard (not that any of you had done before in your review, but I've just the best reader ever, so! 3).

I'm Italian, so the italian part is correct (at least! XD) and I've like always added the trad version at the bottom of the chap.

I'll be introduce a new character so I'm curious to read your impression on it by review: let me drown in your howls guys! Bring it on!

Lies have short legs, but at Hogwarts news and gossips have the longest couple of shanks ever.

The Drumstrang's boys duel had happened only in the morning but by dinner time all the school knew: the Malfoy heir was now the most popular person in the castle.

In the goods and the bad ways.

Every times that the blonde marched on an hallway or sat in the library every girl sighed or blushed, he started to receive token of love at breakfast -which he dismissed without a glance- and some five years girls had started a fun club as well.

Some stupid guys, jealous of his fame or only angered by the fact that the son of a death eaters was now treated in a positive way not only by the student body but by the teacher too, dared to attach him on the school ground or to send duel challenge.

The boy simply refused with an inexpressive face explaining that the students are not allowed to duel out of the teacher association and dogged all the jinks that where trough in his way, letting the teacher or the prefect punish them for breaking the rules: as the insults of cowardice reached his hears by some of those unfortunate guys, he did not even think them worthy of a glance and keep going on his ways.

That and his cold attitude to all the girl's attention had earned him the nickname of the Ice Prince.

Albus now was not alone in his obsession for the blonde – and he had few possibility then the girls, because the probability of his homosexuality were very low- but every time he listened to the girls talk, his chest swelled with satisfaction.

They all did know that Scorpius Malfoy was a respectful, gentleman, cold and brilliant young man: but he knew better.

They didn't see when his figure could emanate power and fury when the capacity of his feelings clouded his military mind and his eyes shined in rage.

How could they still call him Ice Prince after seeing how passionate and hot Malfoy could be?

And, with time, Albus noted that the blonde displayed such strong aversion only toward him.

For weeks, Al tried to start a conversation to the blonde - asking him stuff of himself or his time at Drumstrang- but all he could ever do was give him dragger and marching away.

He even talked to his brother James, who was a complete git and tried to pick on a fight with him.

"It's seems that the only Potter who he had a problem with is you"

"...grunt..." commented Albus at lunch, two weeks after the legendary duel. He was seated next to his sister, which has awfully amused by his obsession for the blonde.

"He was very nice to me and even to Rose... James keeps away from him claiming that he doesn't care for little spoiled kid, but I know he's disturbed too: Malfoy was so civil and respectful that our big brother was speechless" with a frown concluded "and you know he has ALWAYS something to say, so that was a miracle!"

"I could not understand!" said Al frustrated, letting his fork fall in his plate of chicken "I'm glad that he only show me special treatment, but I don't want to be heated, the contrary!"

She glared at him at the same way of their mother " You didn't respected the privacy of his mind, Al: if I was in him, you'll be begging for being hexed in to next week"

"I know, I did wrong... but I apologized!" added desperately the raven haired boy "He didn't ever listen to me when I do it, but I've tried to apologize a hundred time at least!"

Lily turned to eat some chips wile mumbling "I don't understand why you are so fixed on him, Al: he could be an homophobe for all we know..."

"He's not" answered right away Albus.

"How you know?"

"I just know it"

His sister sighed making fly some red locks off her face: Lily was the most cute girl that Al had ever meet – not only because she's his little sister- but was a little bossy, so guys were a bit scared to approach her.

Albus turned his head to stare at Malfoy who was very near them: the boy was eating his steak cutting with his knife and fork with neat movement which showed the moving muscle of his arms.

The youngest Potter boy was just starting to fix his eyes on the blond figure, when a shout made him jump.

"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY!"

"...shit-!"

Albus just heard Malfoy swear before turning his eyes on the girl which had called the boy so loud: and his jaw dropped.

The girl was one of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen – and a slice of his big family had Veleea blood mixed in their veins, so the bar was very high-: a curvy body without an ounce of fat dressed in a blue and white uniform, beautiful hazy eyes framed by wavy glossy long black curls and a tan completion.

The girl walked angry on her long legs not caring for the glares that the other people was trowing at her, stopping only next to an uncomfortable Malfoy, that turned to her with a strained smile on his face.

"Hi, Violet. Why and how have you come here?"

"WHY AND HOW?" she sneered in a tenor voice, narrowing her eyes "Those are MY questions! Why didn't you tell me you transferred here?"

Scorpius raised one of his blonde eyebrows and said calmly "Violet, calmati ed abbassa la voce: il tuo comportamento è del tutto inappropriato"*

"Inappropriate? INAPPROPRIATE? I'll be the woman who will CARRY YOUR CHILDREN, that LOVE YOU more then every other had ever done and I don't have to be MAD because you didn't ever phantom HOW WORRIED I was when you left so suddenly that bloody school? Wha-"

He put his hand on her arms, trying to smooth her while stopping her by saying more "I love you too, piccola, lo sai, ma-"**

"DON'T YOU DARE TO CALL ME BABY" she snapped furious, escaping his grip and raising one finger at his face "Don't try to smooth me with sweet words, Scorpius, I'm very very mad at you"

Malfoy sighed defeated, raised on his feet and offered his arm at her "Possiamo almeno continuare la discussione in un luogo più appartato?"***

Not bothering to notice his arm, she turned on her booths and stormed out of the Hall in the same way she bursted in with the addiction of a defeated Scorpius at her back.

As soon as the couple exited the Great Hall, in a buzz of wispering caused by the all student body gossiping around, Albus got up on his feet.

"Where are you going?" asked him Lily still surprised from the scene that had just saw.

"To investigate, of course"

"Al, he despised you for intruding his privacy once if you do it again he'll be furious!" scolded the youngest of the Potters.

"But he despised me because he KNEW that I was intruding his privacy, but with this" the boy pull out of his bag a shiny piece of folded cloth while raising one of his dark eyebrows "he'll never know because the only one that saw me going after them are me and you. I don't want to antagonize Malfoy more and you" added, making his infamous puppy eyes "of course can't bare to see the death of your favorite brother who loved you dearly"

Lily watched him only for a few second, then sighed and returned to her plate " May you go, but I want a resume later"

Albus grinned at her and hurried to go out of the hall: once out, he trow his father cloth of invisibility on himself and rushed to follow the couple, who was still arguing in a deserted hallway.

Scorpius was leaned with his back at the wall, arms crossed on his chest listening to the girl who was talking in from of him, back at Albus ****"-e quando, finalmente ha contattato la direzione, mi hanno detto del tuo trasferimento: non una parola da te nè da tuo padre. Alessandro non avendo idea di dove tu fossi si è appellato alla facoltà ma ci sono volute settimane e ho scoperto che sei qui solo da due. Non mi bevo queste cazzate, Scorp, se tua madre stesse male non si presenterebbe di nuovo a casa vostra dopo aver divorziato, quindi o mi dici la verità oppure-"

"Oppure cosa? Oppure cosa, Viola? Con cosa mi vuoi minacciare?" the blonde interrupted her, a stern look on his face.

They stared at each other for a wile, then the girl simply said with a teary voice "I only wanted to see you again, I was worried, I though... I-I thought you... y-you-"

And then a loving and compassionate expression melted the icy mask that was on Scorpius face.

The blond hugged and hushed the girl in his arms with loving stroke "Violet, calm down, darling... I'm here now. I got you" and planting a kiss on her head added "Mio padre ha scoperto cosa succedeva a Drumstrang e ha deciso di trasferirmi immediatamente... ha voluto un pò di tempo da soli, per questo I gufi non ci raggiungevano: solo io, lui e le scope" Breaking out of the hug, he bended a bit to be at the same eye level with the brunette "Capisci ora?"

She nodded and wiped the tears off her face, then looked at him "I'll inform Ale too: he could not free himself from work in time but I still wanted to go after you. I've transferred here now so I can be here for you this time" she toke one pale hand in her tanned one "I don't have claws and I'm not my brother, but I love you enough to fight everyone who will try to lay one hand on you"

Scorpus smiled sadly "Oh, baby, I love you too: but as flattered I am by your declaration, don't you remember that I can take care of myself best then every one of you would? I'm the best fighter."

She just shook her head, making flush her dark curls "Hush you! Now, being the gentleman that you are take me to our common house so I can settle down" and to answer the questioning look that he give her, she added "I've been sorted in the Headmistress office, seeing that I've transferred not by the start of the school semester"

"So, Gryffindor? Your mother would be very disappointed to know this" asked the blonde, offering his arm to her, which was immediately accepted this time.

"Mum is a changed woman, Malfoy, you of all of people should know that: and I have always been more a Malvento then a Parkinson anyway"

The couple started to climb the stairs wile Albus was frozen in place: he didn't grab all the conversation because he didn't know italian – of this he was pretty sure, they were talking in italian- but the few lines in english and the way they had acted around each other was enough to draw a very accurate conclusion.

Malfoy had a girlfriend – a beautiful, womanly one - but that was not what made Albus heart sink: the probabilities were against him from the beginning.

No, the thing was that he wasn't special anymore.

The blonde acted different only around him, but the loving, caring sweet gaze that he directed toward the brunette girl beaten every angry dagger was trow at Albus: he was not anymore the only one to know another side of Malfoy and the girlfriend picked the best of them.

He slowly turned around and started to descend toward the dungeons, the rest of his classes forgotten for the day.

Oh, you're crushing hard, Albus... and also painfully pathetically too.

Trad:

*"Violet, calm down and lower your voice: your behavior is totally inappropriate..."

** "I love you too, baby, but you know-"

*** We can at least continue the discussion in a more secluded place?

****and when he finally contacted the head office, they told me of your transfer: not a word from you or from your father. Alessandro had no idea where you were, he appealed to the faculty but it took weeks and found that only by two you are here. I do not believe in this shit, Scorp, if your mother was sick, she would never come back at your home after the divorce, so either tell me the truth or-"
"Or what? Or what, Viola? With what will you want to threaten me?"

"My father found out what was happening at Drumstrang and decided to transfer me immediately ... he wanted some time alone just the two of us, so the owls were not able to find us: just me, him and the brooms"

"Do you understand now?"
