Chapter Two:

Scorpius' POV

It surprised me a bit when Albus chose to sit with me on the train. I was used to everyone ignoring me, being scared of me. I've never had any friends in my life because I looked different than all the others here in London. With my long, shaggy white-blonde hair and naturally cold grey eyes, everyone was scared of me. I thought that I could never make friends…but then he showed up. Albus Severus Potter. And he chose to sit with me.

"-pius? Scorpius!" I heard a voice calling me. Albus' voice. I shook my head and looked at him. There was concern in his green eyes. "Are you alright? You went quiet all of a sudden."

I blinked my eyes, not realizing that I had gone quiet, then smiled at him, "I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you, Albus. I was just lost in thought," I explained honestly to him.

He relaxed and smiled back at me, "Okay. When you went silent, I thought I had said something wrong," he replied with another smile.

I chuckled, "No, of course not."

We were on the boats on our way to the castle. Before we knew it, the castle was looming over us, the large windows lit up. My mouth dropped when I saw it. It was so cool seeing the castle perched on a stone hill. I looked at Albus and saw that his mouth was open as well and I smiled to myself. At that moment, I found myself hoping that Albus would be in Slytherin so we could always be together. At that thought I frowned, realizing how selfish I sounded. Albus said he wanted to be in Gryffindor just like his father and mother. As Albus' first friend, I should be supporting him in that decision, not hoping he would be in the opposite house.

When we entered the castle, we walked up some stairs with the other first years and at the top of the third set of stairs stood a witch in emerald green robes. We stopped in front of her and she looked over her glasses at all of us.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, first years. My name is Professor McGonagall. I am the Headmistress of Hogwarts. In a few minutes time, you will enter the Great Hall, but before you can sit down you have to be sorted into your houses. The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your triumphs will earn you points, but any rule breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will be awarded the House Cup. Please follow me into the Great Hall," she said. Her voice was stern and I got the impression that this witch wasn't someone that you would want to make angry.

"Wow…I don't want to make her angry," whispered Albus, voicing my thoughts.

I nodded and we began following the others. McGonagall led us between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables, towards the front of the room where an old, ragged and torn hat sat on a stool. We stopped and I felt everyone's eyes on us.

"When I call your name, you will sit on the stool, place the Sorting Hat on your head and will be sorted into your houses." She started at the A's and made her way down. While I was waiting for her to get to the M's, I kept glancing at Albus. He looked really tense and he was shaking. Finally, I heard my name being called and Albus chose that moment to look at me, his green eyes were wide and scared. I took his hand in mine and squeezed gently and he visibly relaxed at my touch.

I walked to the front and sat on the stool. I heard the Sorting Hat's voice in my head and then finally he yelled out "Slytherin".

I got off the stool and looked down at Albus. He smiled at me, but his eyes looked dull and sad. I smiled back at reassuringly and then made my way to the Slytherin table. I sat down and kept my eyes on Albus, waiting impatiently as a girl was put into Ravenclaw along with three others who were put into Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Finally, Albus was called and I sat up straighter. Even from this distance, I could see that he was shaking again. He sat on the stool and McGonagall put the hat on his head. Almost instantly, the hat yelled out "Gryffindor!" I clapped along with the rest of the Great Hall, even though my heart was aching.

Before he sat down, he looked over at me and I forced a smile onto my face and gave him the thumbs up. Albus smiled sadly back at me and it looked like he was about to cry, but he looked away. When he looked away, my smile faltered and I felt tears well up in my eyes. I prayed with all my heart that even if we were in different houses, it would never keep us apart from each other. He was my best friend, my only friend, and I didn't want to lose him at the beginning of the school year.

Albus' POV

The dinner was really good, but it would have been better if I could have eaten it with Scorpius. I looked behind me to sneak a glance at him and saw him picking at his food and ignoring anyone who tried to talk to him. I frowned at that, but was secretly happy because I didn't want anyone to take Scorpius away from me. I flinched at that train of thought. What is this feeling of possessiveness that I have? I thought. I felt someone nudge my side and turned around to see James frowning at me.

"What?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"You're a Gryffindor. He's a Slytherin. You can't be friends with him anymore, Al," he growled.

I was beginning to lose my temper and I stood up, knocking over my glass of Pumpkin Juice. "YOU'RE NOT DAD!" I screamed at him, not caring that everyone was staring at me. "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHO I CAN AND CAN'T BE FRIENDS WITH, JAMES!"

James was staring up at me with wide eyes and I felt tears well up in my own eyes. I closed them and ran out of the Great Hall, collapsing onto the stairs as my chest heaved with sobs. I have never fought like that with my brother. We were always close, even if we started drifting apart after he started Hogwart's. Why can't he see that Scorpius isn't like his father? I wondered as sobs continued coming out of my mouth.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and whipped around, expecting to see James. Instead, it surprised me to see Scorpius standing there. I hastily wiped away my tears, not wanting him to think I was a wimp. "S-Scorpius," I hiccupped. "What are y-you doing here?"

Without replying, Scorpius pulled me into a standing position and into his arms. I was shocked, but the shock didn't last very long and I was hugging him back. One of his hands tried to smooth down my hair and the other kept a firm hold on my waist. "It's okay, Albus. You shouldn't be afraid to cry. I won't judge you," he whispered.

I clutched his robes and held him close as tears began to fall from my eyes again. I felt a wetness slowly expanding on my shoulder as Scorpius began to cry as well and I knew at that moment that I couldn't let anyone get between us.

Hey! I am soooooo sorry for the delay! I haven't really been in the mood to write because of stress and homesickness. Please don't kill me! I will try to update this story faster, however I have a mid-term exam in two weeks so I have to study as well. I really hope you enjoy this chapter :D And I hope you enjoy the fluffiness between Albus and Scorpius :P Please read and review! Constructive critiscism is always welcome as long as it isn't flame! Bye bye for now!
