Chapter 19- Sorry
Saying your sorry or pleading for forgiveness isn't what making up is all about, no its something entirely different:
I found my best mate.
I had ran around like a banshee for a good twenty minutes until I remembered what Lorcan had said about Scorpius being on the fifth floor. I went there and searched for another twenty minutes for the classroom and only then did I find my best friend throwing hexes at a castle wall.
I almost felt indignant on behalf of the castle, call it instinct or something but I really felt like throwing spells at a castle that is basically alive is a bad idea.
I stepped towards my friend, "Scorpius, be careful."
He whipped around lightning fast, "What are YOU doing here?"
"I came to talk to you." I said cautiously.
"Albus, leave me alone."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
Yes."
No." Scorpius faltered and glared at me, "That wasn't fair."
I grinned triumphant at my little play, "All is fair in friendships and war."
"I think the quote is, "All is fair in love and war," you dolt." said Scorpius.
I rolled my eyes, "Yes, I know that, but it sounds weird if I said that to you." Scorpius looked at me doubtfully and I groaned, 'Fine, how 'bout "Live Long and Prosper", is that better."
"That is totally irrelevant to this conversation."
"I know but I love Star Trek, and quoting it was the only logical thing to do, when your best friend wont talk to you."
Scorpius sighed and smiled slightly, "You're such a nerd, Al. And I hang out with you way too much since I knew where the quote was from."
I walked over and sat down on the floor next to him, "I know, but I'm an awesome one and you love hanging out with me, Malfoy."
Scorpius tipped his head to the side, thinking about it before saying, "Nah, you're just a regular old geeky Potter."
I pouted at him, "Not cool dude."
Scorpius shrugged and looked at the floor, I took this time to talk, I mean really, really talk.
"Scorpius, you should know, not long before someone said something to you accusing me of stuff, Mark Nott did the same to me, just accusing you and your family. I think he is trying to put us against each other, separate us, because apart we lower our defenses to others. And we need to stick together, especially now with all of this stuff happening, I think something bad is coming, Dad does too." Scoprius looked at me shocked, I continued earnestly, "Scorp, I want you to know I don't care about your family's past, only the present and no matter what I have been, and always shall be, your friend. "
Scorpius looked me in the eye we held eye contact for a few seconds until he started cracking up, "Star Trek again, Al?" Scorpius clutched at his stomach and before I knew it I was laughing too.
He didn't need to say he was sorry, he didn't need to say anything, I knew immediately.
Scorpius Malfoy my was best friend, that was that.
Authors Note: Hello one and all, hoped you liked it, and Yes I'm a trekkie, not as bad as mother is (she used to go to inventions and own a tribble, if anyone knows what I'm talking about). And I've always taken Al as a bit of a geek (like me) but more social (not like me).
I'd like to thank everyone who has been reviewing and alerting this story it means lots to me (:
