On Your Side

Chapter Sixteen: Unfortunate Truths

A/N: I said in my profile, but I am very sorry about not being about much recently. This time it's just because I've been bone idle rather than busy with Mass Effect. I can't bring myself to play that again. That's a total lie, I'm going to, I just have lots of uni work that I've been procrastinating with. Hopefully this will get me back into the working mood. ANYWAY story.

Albus headed down the stairs, determined as ever as he headed towards the common room door, mind full of doubts. His conversation with Scorpius the day before had done nothing to ease his mind, and while he'd remained satisfied for most of the day, the one look on Scorpius' face that morning at breakfast was enough to destroy any hope that he'd had about the man's sincerity. His trust was broken. He was going to get to the bottom of this if it killed him. Hopefully it wouldn't. From across the table he'd caught Rose's eyes, a mutual agreement passing through them as she instantly got up, shovelling the last piece of her food into her mouth in a very un-Rose-like fashion, racing out of the Great Hall, barely stopping to tell her friend something, who gave Albus an odd look, but nodded none the less.

"Rose told me to tell you she wants you to meet her in the library when you get the chance," the girl had told him before she left herself. "She had that look in her eye like, I doubt she'll be finished until after lunch."

"I best sneak something into the library for her then."

The girl looked like she couldn't decide if she should thank him for caring about Rose, or disapprove of his willingness to break the rules.

"Yeah, whatever," she settled with. "Later, Al."

"Bye."

And so here he was, ready to go and drag Rose out of the library for lunch, which he was certain her friend would approve of more, and would probably be easier to do, especially when your boyfriend was a teacher who was very good at telling whether or not you'd broken the rules, and he didn't want his cousin to starve. He'd planned to take about half an hour to convince her to leave whatever it was that she was doing. Which was slightly baffling, considering she hadn't even asked him what she was supposed to be looking for.

He stopped dead in his tracks as someone appeared in front of him, nearly bumping into them. "Lucy!"

"Albus."

Man she was pissed. "Uh, what can I do for you?"

The girl narrowed her eyes, arms crossed over her chest. "You can tell me why you're not taking me to the lake."

He should've seen this coming, really. He couldn't get away with neglecting Lucy for so long. Especially not for Rose. "I'm going to the library. To do some studying."

"No, Albus Potter, you will be spending the afternoon with me, and you will enjoy it," she declared, grasping his arm and pulling him towards to girl's dorm.

"But- I need to see Rose!"

"Watch me care. You spend all your time with Rose! I want some attention!"

"You get plenty from Liam."

Lucy flustered slightly, stopping at the stairs to her dorm. "Not the same. Now, wait here while I go get my jacket. We're going for a nice walk round the grounds."

"This thing with Rose-!"

She rounded on him, glaring as she spoke through her teeth. "Do you want to tell me what 'this thing with Rose' is?"

"Err…"

"I thought so," Lucy stuck her nose up. "Now, shut up and stay there. Else I will smother you in your sleep with a pillow."

He didn't doubt her threat for a moment.

The girl came bouncing back down the stairs, a bright smile on her face and a significant mood change, linking her arm with Albus' and dragging him towards the door, beginning to natter on about the usual pointless things that she did, though he didn't really pay attention. She mentioned something about some girl in their year who did Divination and something-something.

"Liam!" Lucy called, snapping Albus out of his mini daydream about how angry Rose was going to be with him for falling into Lucy's clutches. "Come with us!"

The sandy haired boy stood from where he was, saying goodbye to a few of his friends, looking at the cousins with a curious smile. "I was planning on playing cards with the guys."

"Don't care!" she linked her other arm in his, dragging both boys out the common room with her. "So anyway, as I was saying…"

Liam turned to give Albus an amused look. "Just think, while you've been off prancing about with Rose, I've had to suffer this every day."

"I'd say I feel guilty, and I kind of do, but I've had to deal with it all my life."

Lucy dug her nails into their arms, scowling at each in turn. "Stop being such assholes and enjoy this time together!"

After grimacing and asking her to let them go, the boys allowed themselves to be dragged round the castle grounds towards the lake, trying their hardest not to object too much as they listened to Lucy continue to prattle on about nothing. As much as he would complain about it, Albus had to admit that he did miss it. She was right. He barely spent any time with her and Liam in comparison to what they used to be like. The only reason Liam hadn't mentioned it was probably because he was much more patient than the girl.

"So Al, how's Rose been? Forcing you to do lots of work?" Lucy asked. "I see her every now and then but she always avoids my questions about you."

"She's been fine," Albus said with a nod. "Lots and lots of work."

"You should be meeting wonderful young men, not your cousin in the library."

He rolled his eyes at her comment. "Say it louder would you?"

Liam chuckled, shaking his head. "Al's got a boyfriend, Lu. Leave him alone."

Lucy gasped, coming to an abrupt halt and staring between the boys gobsmacked. "No."

"Merlin, do you just pair me off with all your cousins?" Liam questioned.

"Well you've been not as upset as me that Al's not been spending enough time with us! It would make sense!"

"I'm fairly straight."

Albus looked like a dear caught in the headlights as the girl looked at him. "He's lying."

"You are dating?"

"No!" Albus shook his head wildly. "No, we're not. I'm not dating anyone."

"Then why have you been spending all your time with Rose?"

"He hasn't," Liam insisted. "Whenever I see Rose she's always with her Ravenclaw friends, never with Al. They're together sometimes, but only as much as we see him. He's got a boyfriend."

"Who is it?" Lucy demanded, advancing on the boy. "Why haven't you told us about him?"

"It's no one!" Albus backed up. "There is no one, let's just drop it."

"I want to know!"

"No!"

"Then let me set you up with someone!"

"I'm not ready!"

"There is someone, you've got the glow."

"Finnigan, would you shut up and stop helping Lucy?"

The sandy haired boy shrugged with a smirk. "You ditched me to put up with her for a boy."

Albus felt his heart thumping in the back of his head, rubbing his nose and looking at the castle. "Can we just drop this?"

Lucy gasped as a grin spread across her face. "You do!"

"Please?"

"Who is it? Tell me all about him! Why haven't you told me yet?" she sobered, glaring at the boy. "Does Rose know?"

"Err-!"

"You told Rose and not me?"

"I didn't tell her, she found out herself."

Lucy sniffed, looking on the verge of tears. "I'm so hurt!"

Liam rolled his eyes. "Stop being such a drama queen."

"Fine, okay, yes, I have a boyfriend," Albus held up his finger to stop Lucy from speaking. "And Rose doesn't know who it is, and neither will you, because I agreed to keep it as secret as secrets get."

"Hate to break this to you mate, but you're kind of failing," Liam pointed out.

"I know, which is why nothing else will be drawn from me about this. End of."

Lucy pouted, but with one look from Liam quelled, sighing in defeat. "Fine, but I still expect to hear more about him than I have been. Like how marvellous he is in bed-!"

"Lucy!"

She grinned wickedly. "Oh, Alby, still the little virgin."

Albus scowled, heading off towards the lake again. "I should've gone to hang out with Rose."

Rose looked up at Albus, un-amused as he grinned down at her and held up a napkin full of food, attempting to look apologetic while being happy. Shutting the book that was in front of her Rose took the food offered, opening it on her lap to stop others from seeing it, shoving her notes across the table as Albus sat down and she started picking pieces off the various bread rolls in the napkin.

"Sorry I'm late, Lucy cornered me and forced me to take her to the lake with Liam. Apparently I've been spending too much time with you."

"Perhaps you should spend less time with 'me' and more time with your friends then," Rose suggested, narrowing her eyes and putting emphasis on the 'me' part of her sentence. "That way they wouldn't get upset or suspicious."

"They're not suspicious."

Rose narrowed her eyes, munching away on her food. "It won't be long before they are."

Albus grimaced slightly. "Well, they kind of found out that I'm seeing someone."

The Ravenclaw stared on in awe, barely remembering to keep her mouth closed. "Tell me you're joking."

"They don't know who," Albus defended. "They just know it's someone. And they think you don't know who it is either."

"This is Lucy, we're talking about. She won't stop till she knows."

"I trust her," Albus said with a shrug. "I do."

Rose sighed, turning back to her notes. "I hope you know what you're doing."

Green eyes followed her gaze. "Are these notes on plants?"

"Well, your conversation with Professor Malfoy didn't give me much to go on-!"

"You were listening to our conversation?"

Rose narrowed her eyes. "And if I hadn't been then I wouldn't have been able to make a start so soon, would I? We didn't want to make his suspicious with leaving together for the library. You being here one way or another is suspicious."

Albus pouted.

"Anyway, I tried to find similarities in Dark Magic plants that would be helpful, but obviously the information here is very limited, and I wanted to exhaust all possible resources in the main library before moving onto the restricted section. Professor Longbottom will no doubt be willing to help, if I tell him I want to research them in more depth. He usually is," she pointed down at her notes. "Now, Dark Magic plants are, thankfully, very limited due to the fact that usually plants don't have particular properties to either side. I thought the most obvious would be Devil's Snare, but I can't see how it would be overly useful in the grand scheme of things, because it's weak to light and fire, so it would be hard to spread it round all corners of the school and relatively easy to-!"

"Rosie?"

She flustered slightly. "Right, important bits. The only way I could possibly see most of these plants being used in a large attack would be to somehow modify them," she sucked in a breath, looking up at Albus with apologetic eyes. "I need to get into his room."

"What?"

"I need to get into his room," she repeated. "It's the most likely place I'll find useful information. From what I can tell it could be any one of these plants and he could've modified it in many different ways! If we want to know what we're up against, we're going to have to go find it."

"And how do you plan on getting into his room?"

Rose blushed, biting down on her lip.

"I'm not going to like this."

"Well, you might," she started, unable to look the boy in the eyes. "I-I thought the best way would be to have you let me in while I'm under the cloak. Because he'll let you in without it being in any way strange."

"He doesn't leave me unsupervised, you know. We'd have like, five minutes tops while he goes into a different room. And we wouldn't even know where to start."

"Can you draw a layout of his rooms?" Rose asked, handing over her parchment and quill.

Hesitating for a moment, Albus took the tools and began to draw out what he remembered, drawing boxes for the rooms, guessing the size of some of them. "I've not been in all the rooms," he explained quietly. "Only the living area, kitchen, and bathroom."

"Not his bedroom?"

"Why do you sound disappointed?"

"Because, well, my idea would mean he'd be kept in his bedroom, so it would be helpful to know if there was anywhere he could hide things in there."

"He keeps mostly everything in his desk in the living area," Albus said. "How are we going to keep him in his bedroom? Lock him in there?"

Rose shook her head. "He'll be asleep."

"How am I going to get in at night while he's sleeping?" Albus asked with a frown. "Your plan makes less and less sense by the minute, Rosie."

"You'll already be in there," Rose explained. She puffed out her chest in annoyance at the boy's confused look, moving even closer in as she spoke. "You'll spend the night there."

Albus stared, not quite processing what she said. It wasn't like it had never crossed his mind, staying in Scorpius' room for the night. It had crossed his mind a fair few times. More times than he'd like to admit. But to hear it from his cousin, as an actual plausible thing that could happen, was an entirely different story. He felt his face begin to heat up, heartbeat thumbing in the back of his head, unable to summon words. "That's-what-how-?"

"He's a grown man, Al. He shouldn't be hard to sway," she hissed. "I imagine he'll be trying to restrain himself because of the fact that you're only seventeen, but he'll, you know," Rose gave him a pointed look.

"Are you suggesting I sleep with him?"

"No!" Rose suddenly felt a little ill. "No, no, just, do something to convince him to let you stay the night. Whatever you're comfortable with. I mean, I imagine he'll have had people stay over for the night and things, sometimes innocently maybe, so it's not entirely unrealistic."

"I can't believe I'm hearing this from you."

"I feel ill."

Albus shook his head, trying to will away the sudden thoughts that had accosted his mind. He should not be thinking them while in a library with his cousin. "Okay, so, say this works, and I get to stay in his room for the night, how would you know I managed it?"

Rose seemed pleased that they were moving on. "I'll have the map too, so I can track where you are. If you're not in Gryffindor Tower, then I'll know where you are. At about midnight I'll assume you've managed to get him to sleep and come wait outside of his rooms. I'll wait as long as I need to, so try not to be too long."

"This is," he ran a hand through his hair. "A lot to process."

"I feel really guilty encouraging your relationship to take this path, but it was all I could come up with. It's that or just head straight for the restricted section."

"I can try," Albus said. "It's not like I wasn't hoping this would happen eventually. The relationship progress part, not the sneaking you into his rooms."

Rose nodded, stiffening as she glanced up at the entrance to the library, quickly flicking through her notes until it landed on a large essay for Herbology, pointing at something in the middle and turning slightly preachy. "See, Al? External resources are very important, you can't just attempt to write an essay with things that you remember from class. You have to put more effort into it- hello, Professor."

"Good afternoon, Ms Weasley," the blond man said with a painted smile. "Mr Potter."

"Professor!" Albus glanced at his cousin for a moment before back at Scorpius. "Nice to see you."

"I should hope that you put more effort into your assignments for Transfiguration than simply 'things that you remember from class'," the man said, though there was a twinkle in his eyes.

Albus tried not to look too irritated, smiling as naturally as he could, ignoring the slight giggle that escaped his cousin's lips. "Of course, Professor."

"Good to hear it," the man said, turning to leave before Albus got out of his seat, giving the boy an expectant look.

"I was hoping I could talk to you about the assignment due next week, Professor. There's a couple of things I'd like help with," he explained.

"Of course, would you like to talk about them now?"

"If it's convenient."

Nodding once, Scorpius gestured for the boy to follow him. Albus spared a glance at his cousin who mouthed 'good luck' before following, feeling the nerves begin to bubble in his stomach. He couldn't quite believe what he was about to ask. It wasn't like they didn't have a physical relationship, though it was limited. He allowed himself to be led towards an empty classroom, licking his lips as Scorpius turned and waited for him to speak, leaning against a desk and watching the smaller boy fidget nervously.

"This isn't about your essay, is it?"

Albus felt his face begin to heat up. "No, it's not."

Scorpius threw a locking charm on the door, stepping closer to the dark haired boy and placing a hand on his arm. "What's wrong?"

"I-I had something I wanted to ask."

The grey eyes grew concerned. "You can ask anything."

"Well," he shifted his weight from foot to foot. "See, we've been dating for a couple months now."

"Yes," Scorpius urged. "Go on."

"And, I was just thinking, perhaps it was time to, you know," he glanced up at Scorpius before back down at the man's chest, face on fire. "Move forward."

A curious look took over the man's face. "Move forward?"

"Yeah."

"Are you going to expand on that idea?"

Albus opened his mouth to speak before shutting it quickly and shaking his head.

Scorpius' lips twitched. "You know, I believe that if someone is unable to say what it is they want in a relationship, then they're probably not ready for it yet."

"I am!" Albus defended, frowning slightly at the accusation. "I just-I've never asked anyone this before."

"No time like the present."

"You're insufferable."

"I could dock points for that insult."

Albus huffed. "I wanted to know if you minded me staying with you tonight," he stammered.

Scorpius raised a brow. "Here I was thinking you simply wanted to go over curfew slightly and kick it up a notch. What will your dorm mates say when you're not in your room?"

"I can sneak out after they've gone to sleep and be back before they wake up."

The blond paused for a moment of thought. "You've seriously considered this."

It wasn't a lie, he had. He just hadn't thought to ask until five minutes before. "I have."

"Once," Scorpius said in the sternest voice he could, unable to keep a straight face as Albus lit up. "And then we'll see whether or not to do it again."

"Thank you!" Albus exclaimed, throwing his arms around Scorpius' neck. "You won't regret it!"

"I hope not," the Professor peeled Albus off him. "Now save the affection for tonight. You'll get plenty of hugs then."

"And kisses?"

"And whatever you like."

Albus grinned. "Whatever?"

Giving the boy another stern look, Scorpius wagged his finger slightly. "Don't push it."

As soon as the man left the classroom, Albus fistpumped the air, mentally cheering himself on before running out the room and heading straight back to the library, unable to contain his excitement. Even if Rose's excitement was going to be the fact her plan was working out, he wasn't going to let it get him down. He was going to spend the night with his boyfriend and he was going to enjoy it.

Albus found himself outside his Tranfiguration's Professor's door at ten o'clock exactly, having given Liam the excuse that he would be out all night and to cover for him, the boy grinning and telling him he had it covered. The knowing look the sandy haired boy had given him made him fluster and scowl on his way out though. Sucking in a breath, Albus raised his hand, knowing lightly on the door before glancing behind him, hoping that no one else wanted to see the former Slytherin so late at night. The idea was unsettling.

The door opened, distracting him from his thoughts and making him smile widely as he saw the blond on the other side wrapped in a blue dressing gown, stepping through the portal and standing as unawkwardly as he possibly could as he waited for Scorpius to shut the door, tugging on his collar.

The Malfoy heir turned, a welcoming smile on his lips. "Albus."

"Hi," the boy raised a hand in greeting before running it through his hair and clearing his throat. "So…how was your day?"

Scorpius chuckled, moving forward and taking Albus' hands in his own. "You don't need to be so nervous. It'll be like cuddling on the couch, only for longer. And in a bigger space."

"I know, I just," Albus shrugged, feeling his face heat up.

The blond guided the boy to the couch, sitting them both down on it and attempting to ease the boy into the situation. "My day's been fine, thank you. I've been distracted by looking forward to seeing you."

"Your desk's a mess," Albus noted as he glanced over at the man's work space.

Scorpius flustered, giving a light shrug. "Like, I said, I've been distracted."

There was a small rush of power at the man's lack of usual composure, grinning as he leant forward and placed a soft kiss to his Professor's lips. "Looking forward to getting kisses from me?"

"Amongst other things," Scorpius murmured as he pulled the smaller boy closer to him, hand travelling down the toned back and swooping in for another kiss. Albus smiled into the kiss, wrapping on hand round the man's shoulder and the other threading through the blond locks, deepening the kiss easily and moving so he was nearly sitting on the man's lap. Scorpius pulled the boy closer once again so that he was sat on his lap.

It wasn't long before tongues began to get involved, hands beginning to move and wander around, over shoulders, down arms, through tangled hair and up and down each other's backs. He didn't know when it happened but Albus was soon sat astride the taller man's lap, his hands running down the man's front, stopping as the bottom of his palms touched the rope wrapped loosely round his waist, pulling back to look into the grey eyes.

"I seemed to remember you mentioning something about a dressing gown once," Scorpius breathed, a smirk playing on his lips. "I believe I said that I'd help you finish that dream."

Albus swallowed a lump in his throat, feeling his body react instantly, his whole body alight. The confidence in the other man began to falter ever-so-slightly until Albus pressed his lips against Scorpius harshly, pressing their bodies together and threading a hand in the blond hair, Scorpius getting a good grip on the boy's waist before turning them, Albus letting out a sound of surprise as his back hit the seats of the couch, Scorpius hovering over him with a smirk on his face. Albus licked his lips eagerly, hands still hovering near the rope.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" the Professor asked. Not wanting to rush the boy.

There was a pause before Albus smiled lightly, reaching a hand to the blonde's face, pulling him in for a soft kiss, his other hand tugging at the rope and sucking in a breath as it fell open, resisting the urge to pull back and look down at the man, favouring running his hand back up the chest, letting out a small noise of satisfaction at the feeling of warm skin against his hand, his fingers travelling all the way up to the man's shoulder.

Scorpius pulled back and looked down into darken green eyes. The lust that was matched in the stormy pools made a shiver run all the way up Albus' spine. "Perhaps we should move this elsewhere," he murmured. The blond couldn't help but chuckle at the large grin that spread across Albus' face, moving from the couch and beginning to saunter over to his bedroom, his gown slipping off his shoulders and falling to the floor in a puddle of fabric. Albus licked his lips as his eyes travelled over the man's back, unsure if he should be disappointed by the fitted boxers that the man wore or not. They certainly did look good on him after all.

As the blond opened his bedroom door, he looked over his shoulder and quirked a brow, smirking as Albus' eyes snapped up to his face. "Are you going to sleep there then?"

Albus was up in a matter of seconds, rushing towards the other man who slipped into the room, ignoring the fact that he was probably doing this a lot less seductively than his Professor was. He entered the bedroom shortly after Scorpius, who turned to walk backwards, taking Albus' hands and pulling him forward towards the bed, raising his hands as Scorpius grasped the hem of his shirt, pulling it over his head and tossing it behind them, pressing a heated kiss against the younger boy's lips and running a hand over the newly exposed skin as his other hand pulled at the strings to Albus' trousers, waiting for them to drop to the floor before turning their position subtly to have the back of Albus' knees pressed up against the side of the bed, giving a soft push that sent him falling backwards.

Albus grinned up at the other man, sitting up on his elbows and pulling himself further onto the bed as Scorpius crawled onto it very much like a cat stalking its prey. Merlin, he never thought that analogy would be so sexy.

"Well then, Mr Potter," Scorpius purred, making sure his skin didn't touch Albus', lips hovering millimetres apart. "Are you ready for your first lesson?"

The boy licked his lips again in response, leaning forward as Scorpius pulled back with a mumbled: "Can't wait."

Scorpius ducked his head at the second attempt to get a kiss, latching his lips onto the boy's neck and pulling his arms out from under him, making Albus fall on his back. Scorpius' tongue flicked out, lapping at the skin before travelling down, leaving one long wet path along the boy's skin, making Albus shiver and writhe under him, Scorpius' fingers intertwining with Albus' and keeping them pinned to the bed, chuckling as the boy tried to pull them free. The protest to his restraints died on Albus' lips however as Scorpius' tongue twirled quickly round his nipple, making him gasp for air, eyes flying open wide at the sensation. Scorpius sucked on the nub, quick to move onto the next and giving it the same attention, pulling back and blowing on the moist nipple, pulling a delightful sound from his boyfriend's lips.

The blond moved back up Albus' body, leaning down for a kiss before pressing his body against the smaller one below it, letting out an involuntary groan as he rubbed against the other boy, feeling his boxers becoming tighter as he did so. Albus bucked his hips up as he felt it, flickering his tongue out along Scorpius' bottom lip, trying to move his hands once again. Scorpius ground his hips down against the other boy's, enjoying the feeling over having someone's skin against his.

Albus let out a sigh of relief as one of his hands was freed, reaching up and tangling it in blond locks, his toes curling as he realised why his hand was released, pulling back for air as finger tips slipped beneath his own, much loser boxers, looking up into Scorpius' eyes and feeling his breathing get heavy just thinking about what was going to come. Scorpius' flirtatious smirk didn't help.

"Have you ever done this before, Albus?"

The boy shook his head slowly. "Not with another boy."

"You're not doing this with another boy," Scorpius pointed out, amusement laced in his face. "I much prefer to think of myself as a man."

Albus opened his mouth to reply, but was cut off by a hand that wrapped itself round his growing erection, electricity running through his veins as he did everything he could to calm himself down. It had been a while.

"Let's try get rid of any lingering thoughts of those other experiences, shall we?" Scorpius purred, his thumb dancing in circles round the tip. "I'm going to have you calling my name by the end of the night."

The boy was too enraptured by the moment to possibly reply now. He could feel Scorpius' breath mingling with his own, his hand wrapping round the man's shoulder and gripping at the skin, pulling him down for another kiss to muffle the sounds he was making as the blonde's fingers wrapped round him, beginning to move up and down slowly, briefly wondering when the man's hands got wet. He wasn't sure he'd ever heard of someone performing a wandless lubrication charm. But he certainly wasn't going to complain or question it at that moment.

Their lips moved against each other, their bodies still rubbing as Scorpius' hand began to pump Albus' cock, letting go of his other hand in favour of running his fingers through the dark hair, Albus' hand wandering down to slip into the man's underwear, his fingertips brushing against Scorpius' head almost accidentally, loving the way the man's hips seemed to move to meet his fingers. He spurred himself on, reaching down further and wrapping his own hand round Scorpius' erection, his palm rubbing against the leaking tip before his fingers ghosted down the shaft, wrapping round and beginning to match Scorpius' speed.

It wasn't long before they were moving in unison, one of them occasionally squeezing lightly, both speeding up at the same time, eyes locked and breath mingling, noses bumping as the worked, their breathing becoming slightly erratic. Albus could feel his insides slowly beginning to warm up, biting down on his lip and squeezing his eyes shut, trying to force himself to last longer. He arched up into Scorpius' hand with a gasp as the man began sucking on his neck, his own hand tightening round Scorpius' cock and squeezing as his fingers dug into the man's shoulder, noises spilling from his lips that he had no control of.

Scorpius speed up his movements once again, giving a long suck against Albus' skin, making sure the he was sucking close to the boy's collar bone to avoid marks being visible, feeling a bubbling coiling in his stomach at the noises he was drawing forth, knowing that those moans were his doing. And how beautiful they sounded spilling from Albus' lips.

"Scor," Albus moaned, tying to gain control of his breathing. It wasn't happening. "I-I can't-!"

Before the boy could even finish his sentence, Scorpius moved his lips to the boy's ear, breathing heavily as he allowed himself one long groan of pleasure, smirking lightly as his hand became covered in warmth, Albus crying out as his entire body seemed to arch off the bed, climax exploding in his stomach, his hand somehow managing to still move at the pace it was as Scorpius' slowed down, smearing cum on the boy's stomach as he allowed himself to lose control, shuddering as Albus tugged on his earlobe.

And that was all it took.

Scorpius came into Albus' hand, feeling his boxers become soiled with sperm, trying not to collapse on the boy as he shook from the force of his orgasm, panting heavily as he his shaky arms kept him up.

He let out a breathless laugh as Albus giggled slightly.

"What's so funny?" he breathed, collapsing next to the boy.

"I don't know," Albus replied. "I'm just- happy."

Scorpius smiled softly, Albus' heart catching in his throat at the sight. "Good. Now let me go find my wand, I'll clean us up."

"I can do it," Albus insisted, standing and reaching to the trousers he had, pulling out his wand and casting a quick cleaning charm, barely having a chance to put his wand back before Scorpius had his arm round his waist, pulling the smaller boy onto his back and nuzzling up to him, making Albus laugh again.

"You're so talented."

"It's only a cleaning charm."

Scorpius gave him a look. "Take the compliment."

Albus grinned, rolling onto his side and snuggling up against the man. "Thank you, Professor. I've been practicing."

"If only you were that good at Transfiguration."

Rose scowled down at her pocket watch, glancing down at the map as she waited. Albus was at least twenty minutes late. She knew he might be slightly delayed, but she didn't think it would be by much. She was sure she had the right room. Just as she began to wonder whether or not she was in the wrong place, the door opened, and she looked up to see Albus standing there, uncovering her head from the cloak, glancing down at him and raising a brow as she spoke. "Would it have killed you to put on a shirt?"

Albus relaxed as Rose revealed herself, but flustered brightly at the comment she made, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly and letting her into the rooms. "I-I kind of panicked. I thought you'd have left by now."

"You're late."

"I was asleep."

Rolling her eyes, Rose trotted into the room, glancing around and taking in the furnishings, both brows rising this time. "It's surprisingly bright in here."

"I know," Albus said with a grin. "It's nice."

"We don't have time to waste," she said, heading straight to where the desk was, looking over the mess. "He's not as organised as I expected."

"Yeah, it's usually not this messy. But he does look a lot neater than he is."

Rose shifted some of the paper, flicking through to try find something helpful. "This mainly just looks like school work-!" she covered her mouth as she found one essay, pulling it out and waving it at Albus. "Ninety percent!"

"What was that you said about not having time to waste?"

"Right, yes, work," she looked back down, gesturing to the drawers on one side. "You check those, I'll take these."

The two began making their way about the desk, Rose quicker than Albus, moving back to the top before she heard a door open, pulling the cloak back over herself and ducking, down the side of the desk, watching as Albus stood and spun round, eyes wide as a man exited the room that Albus had never been in till that night. Their Professor had an enigmatic look on his face as he approached Albus, still wearing nothing but his underwear, much like the Gryffindor boy. It had Rose burying her face in her hands. She couldn't deny she didn't understand the attraction, but she really didn't need to see what was to follow. She peeked anyway.

"Albus," the man said, voice level. "What are you doing?"

"I couldn't sleep," Albus stammered.

Scorpius glanced behind him at the desk. "So you decided to rifle through your fellow student's work instead? Hoping it would bore you to sleep?"

The boy glanced behind him, trying to find an exit route. "I just got a little curious."

"About what?"

"Your desk?"

The man didn't look convinced, folding his arms across his chest and giving his student an expectant look.

"I was worried," Albus started, biting down on his lip. "About the thing with your grandfather," he grimaced as the man tensed, grey eyes narrowing. "I'm just," he felt his throat run dry. "I'm just scared you're going to get hurt, Scor, you seem like such a private person that you wouldn't tell me even if it hadn't all been solved, and I didn't want to try drag it out of you because I figured you'd get offended, so I figured this was the safest way to do it."

"I'm disappointed that you don't trust me."

Albus looked down at the ground, his toes curling slightly. "Sorry."

"But," green eyes snapped up. "I appreciate the sentiment. I'm not going to get hurt, I promise you that," Scorpius moved forward, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy, placing a kiss on his cheek. "Now I think we should head straight back to bed and you can start making it up to me. Or sleep, seeing as I have just woken up."

"I didn't wake you, did I?"

Scorpius smirked down at the boy. "I went to hold you and you weren't there. I was very upset when I realised you'd disappeared."

Albus grinned slightly. "Well, I think I have a lot of making up to do then, don't I?"

The blond began placing kisses against the boy's neck, lifting him onto the desk and running his hands up and down the boy's legs, fingers disappearing underneath the green boxer shorts.

"I-I think," Albus managed to croak out, holding back his groans and doing his best not to avoid to the half-hard member that was pressing up against his own. "I think your students wouldn't appreciate it if they got their assignments back all crumpled and damaged."

Scorpius chuckled, pulling back and running his hands over to Albus' inner thighs, brushing against the boy's balls as he did so, making the boy let out a whimper. "You're probably right. You get back to the bedroom, I'll check you haven't completely ruined my organised mess."

Albus scoffed, moving off the table. "Organised my arse."

The Professor smirked, slapping his palm across the aforementioned arse, making Albus squeak slightly. "Go."

"Try not to be too long," Albus purred, not wanting to turn round because of the tent that was going on in his underwear. "I don't think I care about other people's assignments that much."

Scorpius rolled his eyes, turning to the paper work and shifting it around, pleased that it hadn't been entirely misplaced. As the door to his bedroom shut, Scorpius turned to the drawers Albus had been crouched by, reaching the bottom and running his thumb along it in a pattern before it opened, glancing inside to check nothing was moved. Satisfied, he shut it and stood, heading back to his bed room.

Rose let out a sigh of relief as the man disappeared from sight, her face hot and her stomach feeling slightly ill. She could have gone without seeing her cousin engaging in such activities. Trying to block it from her mind and hopefully erase the images forever, the girl headed to the drawer that she had seen Scorpius opening, trying to memorise the pattern he'd made before it clicked, smiling happily as she opened it and pulled out the contents, beginning to absorb the information that was there.

She felt her blood run cold, covering her mouth in shock, staring down at the final page.

Her cousin was dating a liar.

The redhead was out of the room in moments, the papers still clutched in her hand, one person on her mind as she fled through the halls.

Headmistress.

IT'S LONG! LOOK AT HOW LONG I MADE IT TO MAKE UP FOR MY TOTAL LACK OF UPDATING! LOOK! AND THERE'S A HALF NAKED SCORPIUS! SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU GUYS? I'msosorryfornotupdating.

This is the first male/male sex scene I've wrote in a while, sooo I hope it's okay. I hope the whole chapter's okay. But I really need the bathroom so I'm wrapping this note up quickly.
