Hey everyone! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, I hope it is fun to read! Enjoy
Albus Potter couldn't believe he was in the exact same situation again. Well, maybe not exact. Last time he had come to the Slytherin dorms he hadn't a clue what wall to speak the password too. Now, he did know where the entrance was, but had Scorpius bothered to give him the password? No, of course he hadn't, the stupid git.
A month ago, the password had been cottonmouth. Albus had tried it, along with all of the snake breeds he knew off the top of his head. The wall had remained, unfortunately, stationary.
Albus was just about to give up and head back to his dorm when he noticed a tiny girl walking towards him. She couldn't have been older than twelve, and she regarded him very nervously.
"Oh, hello." Albus greeted, trying to flash his friendliest smile. "I was hoping to get into the common room." He said pointing to the wall he had been standing in front of for half on hour.
"Albus Potter right?" The girl questioned, staring up at him.
"Right." Albus replied.
"The honorary Slytherin?" She said with a tiny smile on her face now.
"Oh, right. Yes, that's me." He had totally forgotten about the title Scorpius had bestowed upon him last time he had visited, but apparently it was common knowledge among the Slytherin students. This justification seemed enough for the girl. She walked over the wall and announced, "treacle toad". The wall opened and they both stepped inside.
The common room looked very different from his last visit. For one the room was brighter, there were a few fireplaces along the wall of the room, with couches and chairs in little half circles around them. The fires created a soft glow and lit up the faces of the people sitting around them. A few people turned and glanced his way, when he entered, but there was no mob like last time.
Albus looked down at the tiny girl he had entered with.
"Um, what was your name?" He asked awkwardly.
"I'm Elva." She replied.
"Well, Elva, do you know where Scorpius might be?" Albus really didn't like the idea of wandering the Slytherin common room, looking for someone he might know.
"I have an idea," she replied. Then she began to walk off without another word.
Albus assumed he was supposed to follow her, so he did. They walked back into the farthest corner of the room, where there was a single fireplace, removed from all the others. Sitting around the fire were familiar faces. Wendy, Jaysen, Andrew, Sullivan, Tess, Stephanie and, of course, Scorpius, were all lounging on plush looking couches. Albus approached them slowly, and it was Tess who noticed him first.
"Albus!" She called loudly, even though he was only a few feet away. Everyone turned and greeted him, with large goofy smiles or giggles. It was only then that Albus noticed they were passing around a familiar pipe. So they were all smoking again. Great.
"Get outta here first year." Scorpius yelled, apparently noticing Elva.
"Hey, watch it." Albus called back, but Elva had already scampered away.
"What, you found yourself a girlfriend?" Andrew teased. "Isn't she a little young for you?"
"Yeah, also she's a girl." Jaysen sniggered.
"I thought you liked blondes." Scorpius added, beckoning the Gryffindor to come closer.
"Don't be mean," Albus responded as he walked into the circle of couches and stood in front of Scorpius. "She got me in here because someone forgot to give me the password." He crossed his arms and sent a small playful glare at Scorpius who in returned grinned like an idiot.
"Oops."
"Aren't you going to say sorry?" Albus asked.
"I don't know what you've heard," Scorpius remarked, "But I never apologize to anyone."
"What I've heard, that is if I recall correctly, is you apologizing to me." Albus countered.
Everyone in the circle let out a low "ooooooohhhhh" showing that Albus had clearly won the argument. Scorpius rolled his eyes, annoyed by his friend's reaction. He then reached out, grabbing the Gryffindor's hands, and yanked the boy down to sit on the couch.
Albus blushed as he was literally pulled into Scorpius lap. He tried to move to sit next to the blond, but Scorpius held him there tightly.
"I think someone needs to loosen up." He purred into other boy's ear.
"Yeah, well what did you have in mind?" Albus asked. He realized after he said it, how sexual the whole conversation sounded. Then he remembered that he was currently straddling the object of all his affections, and blushed harder still. Scorpius hands roamed lower and lower on his back. Albus pushed himself off of Scorpius and moved to sit on the far end of the couch.
Scorpius laughed and the rest of the group couldn't help but smile at Albus' reaction.
"Don't know what you were thinking." Scorpius teased, "I was talking about smoking." He grabbed the pipe and passed it to Albus.
Albus didn't take it, or move at all. He was too embarrassed to do anything.
"Come on," Scorpius insisted, nudging the Gryffindor.
Albus glanced over. "What does it do?" He asked innocently.
Before Scorpius could even reply Albus interjected, "Oh that's right, it makes you mean and cruel and forces you to say terrible things to people that don't deserve it." As soon as Albus saw the surprised look on Scorpius' face he regretted his outburst. He had already forgiven the Slytherin for what he had done last time he was high, Albus knew he shouldn't have brought it back up.
Scorpius' face however, quickly shifted from surprise to humor. The rest of the group grew silent as they watched the two boys interact.
"Well you sure are⦠spirited today." Scorpius commented a moment later, taking a long drag from the pipe. "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you the password." Scorpius finally said. Then he handed the pipe to Albus with a smirk.
Sighing Albus took it and, putting the opening to his lips, breathed in long and slow. Equally as slowly he breathed back out, determined not to cough or wheeze.
"Look at that." Andrew said, "He's just like a pro."
Albus could feel the effects almost immediately. The tips of his fingers started to tingle, almost as if there was electricity running through them.
"So, how does it feel?" Tess questioned him.
"A little weird, I guess. Nothing much." Albus replied with a shrug. It sure didn't feel like he had expected, like some huge wave of enlightenment or some sudden divine voice speaking to him. That's what people made it out to be. But it was nothing more than a slight tingling in the fingers. Albus almost rolled his eyes. People liked to make such a big deal out of things.
The group watched him with curious eyes, and Albus stared back almost insolently, showing that although he was a lightweight drinker, wizard's weed had almost no effect on him.
"Looks like we're gonna need some more weed." Stephanie announced with a mischievous grin. She took the pipe and refilled it from a small bag that was on the floor. Once that was done she charmed it to stay lit and handed it back to Albus.
"Um, shouldn't we, like, pass it around?" The Gryffindor asked, suddenly nervous.
"Oh, no Albus, this is all for you. I think Scorpius was right, you need to loosen up." She delivered the last line with a wink that sent a chill down Albus' spine.
What had he gotten himself into?
Twenty minutes later Albus was, to say the very least, high. To say more he was hysterically laughing and standing on a couch, waving his shoes above his head trying to touch the ceiling.
"Albus, sweetheart, you should get down." Wendy provided.
"But I want to go swimming!" Albus replied excitedly. "Why can't I go swimming?" He pouted.
"Albus, while I understand your desire to swim, trying to dig a hole through the ceiling of our common room into the lake with your shoes is just not a very good idea." Sullivan reasoned.
"Yeah, but it's right there!" Albus insisted, pointing directly above his head. "The lake is right above us!" Albus giggled excitedly.
"Albus if you dug a hole in the ceiling we'd all drown." Scorpius said, grabbing the boy's hand and forcing him to sit back down on the couch. Albus fell, sitting on Scorpius' lap, and looked at the blond with a worried expression.
"Oh, Scorpius!" He whined, "Don't you know how to swim? Don't worry I'll teach you!" He started to flap his arms around in circles, hitting Scorpius quite a few times in the face. Jaysen couldn't contain himself; he started laughing so hard that he fell off of his chair, hitting his head on the cement floor, which only caused him, and everyone else to laugh harder.
For everyone else the effects of the weed were starting to wear off, but for Albus they were in full force, and he had a stupid grin on his face that refused to be removed.
"Stop is Albus." Scorpius said gently, pulling the boys arms down to his sides.
"M'kay." Albus replied sweetly. "Thanks Scorpius." He said a moment later.
"For what?" The blond asked.
"For making me an honorary Slytherin." Albus giggled like crazy.
"You like being a Slytherin?" Andrew asked laughing at how childlike the Gryffindor had become.
"Sure do." Albus asserted, "You guys have a LAKE a above your common room. All Gryffindors have is air." Albus said air as if it was an awful thing, and then stuck his tongue out and made a farting noise so it was very clear how he felt about air.
Stephanie laughed loudly. "This is amazing. He's hilarious. We should have done this weeks ago."
Scorpius had to agree. Albus was a completely different person, and very entertaining. Smoking always made him very relaxed and tired. Albus was the exact opposite, he was energetic and animated and he said whatever was on his mind.
"Loooooooooooooooooongbottom." Albus announced suddenly. And then he threw his head back and cackled.
"What's so funny?" Jaysen asked, still lying on the floor.
"LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGBOTTOM!" Albus repeated louder and then laughed even harder.
"Yeah what about him? Scorpius asked with a grin.
"His name is long-bottom." Albus said, as if it was a revolutionary thought, "Why is that his name?"
"Because he has a big nose." Scorpius replied. Albus looked at Scorpius with a smile, "I think he has a lovely nose."
Scorpius couldn't help but smile back. Albus' mood was contagious. Scorpius watched Albus as he started to argue with Sullivan about what kind of breakfast food was the best. Albus was valiantly fighting for eggs, while Sullivan sided with bacon.
Watching Albus made Scorpius smile even more. The way the boy's lips moved was mesmerizing, and the way his bright eyes glowed green in the firelight was the most beautiful thing Scorpius had ever seen. Every time Albus gestured or shifted in position he would brush against Scorpius, causing tingles to run all across the blonde's body.
After a while Scorpius became aware of Stephanie watching him watching Albus. She gave him a knowing wink, which confused Scorpius because he didn't even know what it was that she so knowing about.
"Albus!" Stephanie interjected suddenly. Sullivan looked disappointed that they would never discover which breakfast food was best, but Albus looked excitedly at her, practically bouncing in anticipation for what she was going to say.
"What do you think of Scorpius," She asked slyly. Scorpius frowned at her, having absolutely no idea what she was up to.
"Scorpius." Albus said the name slowly, and Scorpius couldn't deny the heat that spread through his body when he heard it. Or maybe it was the fact that the boy was currently bouncing on his lap.
"He's great." Albus said with an adorably affectionate smile. Then he turned to Scorpius and repeated, "You're great." In case the blond hadn't heard.
"What's so great about him?" Wendy asked, the same sly look on her face that Stephanie had. Scorpius still didn't really understand what was going on, but he couldn't deny he was enjoying the attention.
Albus grinned again, this time with a bit of a blush spreading across his cheeks. He leaned back and rested his head on Scorpius' shoulder. Then he stared up at the ceiling and spoke in a dreamy voice. "He's just so cool."
Wendy and Stephanie couldn't help but giggle at how love struck Albus looked.
"He's so handsome too." Albus continued, blushing even more, "And a really good kisser."
"Why thank you." Scorpius replied, feeling only slightly awkward that Albus was talking about him as if he wasn't there.
Albus turned to face the blond, their faces inches apart, "Am I a good kisser?" He asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, very good." Scorpius assured him. He reached up and ran his fingers through the boy's thick black hair. Albus hummed contentedly so Scorpius did it a second time.
"Good night." Albus yawned, and then he nuzzled his face down into Scorpius' neck and closed his eyes.
Scorpius felt himself soften a little as Albus cuddled into him. Cuddling wasn't really his strong suit but Albus looked so peaceful and he was so warm. Scorpius felt his own eyelids get heavy, urging him to rest his head on top of the Gryffindor's and sleep.
"Eh-hem." Someone cleared their throat loudly. Scorpius looked up irritably.
"He can't sleep here." Andrew pointed out. Scorpius glared at his best friend, as if the whole situation could be blamed on him.
"Alright, alright." Scorpius finally said. He lifted his arms, to slowly push the boy currently sleeping on him to the upright position. Albus' eyes flickered open in the process.
"Wha- wha's going on." He mumbled.
"It's bed time." Stephanie told him.
"Oh good." Albus said, trying to lie back down.
"Oh no you don't." Scorpius said, grabbing Albus before he could lie back down. "You have to go back to your own dorm."
Albus stared up at Scorpius, looking like he was about to cry.
"But-but i's so far." Albus whined, "An' I'm sleepy." He reasoned.
"I know, I know." Scorpius said, pulling them both to their feet.
"Scorpius will go with you." Tess said with a large smile.
"What?" Scorpius cried. "Why me?"
"You invited him." Sullivan pointed out. "Plus, you two look like you could use some alone time." Everyone seemed to find this amusing, which only made Scorpius angry.
Scorpius glared at Sullivan, "Fine."
They said their goodbyes, which in Scorpius' case was just standing off to the side as Albus went around and hugged everyone and told them how much he would miss them.
When they finally left the common room and made their way into the hallway the two boys fell into silence.
Suddenly Scorpius felt a warm hand envelop his.
"What are you doing?" He asked Albus, slightly amused.
"You have nice hands." Albus replied happily.
Scorpius laughed at the ridiculous Gryffindor, "You too." He wondered if Albus would remember any of this in the morning. And how embarrassed he would be if he did. Scorpius smiled at the thought of Albus' blushing embarrassed face. It was one of his favorite expressions. When Albus' face was red, his eyes downcast, maybe biting on his lower lip. Scorpius groaned, wanting to see that face in that very moment.
He quickly let go of Albus' hand, and instead pushed him up against the nearest wall. Towering over the other boy, Scorpius put his hand under the boy's chin and lifted his face until their lips were inches apart. He looked down, surprised to see that Albus' face was embarrassed at all. His eyes were staring intensely back at Scorpius, and his lips were spread in a cocky little grin.
"You want something?" Albus purred quietly. Scorpius felt Albus' hands, tugging on his shirtfront, pulling them closer together.
"What is it Scorpius, what do you want?" Albus purred again. Scorpius couldn't contain himself. Embarrassed Albus might be cute, but this Albus, was turning him on big time. He pressed himself up against the other boy, and captured his lips in a fierce kiss.
Gliding his hands down the Gryffindor's back he slid one hand under the top of Albus' pants, reaching down, and squeezing the boy's bare ass hard.
Albus groaned faintly, and in response lifted one of his legs, wrapping it around the taller boy's waist. Scorpius could feel himself getting hard.
For a moment he wondered if he was doing the right thing. Albus wasn't exactly in the right state of mind, or thinking very clearly. Maybe he should calm down and take the boy back to his dorm instead of assaulting him in the corridor. Right about then, Albus ground his hips against Scorpius again, and the Slytherin decided, fuck it. Albus was asking for it. He leaned down and again captured Albus' lips in a fierce kiss, this time forcing his tongue into the other boy's mouth and snogging him thoroughly.
At least that was what he tried to do until Albus started laughing hysterically. Quickly Scorpius pulled back and detached himself from the boy.
Albus continued to laugh, getting louder and louder.
"Albus, shhhhhh!" Scorpius whispered frantically. "Someone will hear!"
"Ah-haha-sorry." Albus giggled, trying to quiet himself.
"What the hell?" Scorpius asked, having no idea what could be so hilarious to the boy, when they had been in the middle of what Scorpius considered a really hot make-out session.
"The worm!" Albus whispered with a grin, and then continued to giggle.
"The what?" Scorpius asked, looking around, but seeing nothing, definitely no worms.
"You put a worm in my mouth." Albus laughed, "It felt so funny."
Scorpius looked at the boy incredulously for a moment before understanding dawned on him, "You mean my tongue?"
"It was all wet and slimy and it was wiggling around." Albus couldn't help but start laughing again. "It felt so funny."
Scorpius rolled his eyes. He now knew the steps of a high Albus Potter. First came energetic, then completely exhausted, then horny, then hysterical. Maybe next time they would just stick to whiskey.
"Let's just go." He sighed. Dragging a still giggling Albus Potter down the corridor Scorpius decided that the young Potter was turning out to be more trouble than he was worth.
Almost an hour later Stephanie, Sullivan and Wendy were still waiting for their friend to return. Andrew and Tess had disappeared a little while ago, and Jaysen not long after.
When Scorpius finally appeared through the entrance to the common room Stephanie had let out a loud catcall.
Scorpius looked surprised and not at all happy that his friends had stayed up waiting for him.
"Well look who finally decided to come back home." Wendy said with a suggestive eyebrow raise.
"So, how was it?" Stephanie asked excitedly.
"I don't want to talk about it." Scorpius replied with a glare.
"Oh no you don't. Scorpius Malfoy I waited an hour for this story and I want to hear it!" Stephanie insisted.
Scorpius looked like he was going to yell, his eyes flared angrily but he voice came out controlled and quiet. "I'm going to bed."
"Scorpius!" Stephanie yelled, "Don't make me-"
"HE FORGOT THE PASSWORD" Scorpius roared, cutting off what Stephanie was about to say.
"Huh?" Everyone looked up in surprise at Scorpius' outburst, having no idea what it meant.
"The password! For his common room! He couldn't fucking remember it. I had to stand there for forty-five minutes as he tried hundreds. At one point he was convinced it was the name of a pope so he recited them. ALL OF THEM! He recited all of the popes names! He can bloody remember the names of all the popes back to the 4th century, but he couldn't fucking remember one goddamn password." Scorpius continued to rant. "I can't believe I APOLOGIZED to him for forgetting to give him our password. He couldn't even remember his own."
"What happened?" Sullivan asked, after Scorpius had finished.
"The damn fat lady finally let him in." Scorpius grumbled.
"So you didn't get any?" Wendy pouted.
"Fuck you Wendy." Scorpius practically spat.
"Well I sure didn't stay up and wait to hear this." She grumbled, "I wanted dirty details." With that she stood up and walked back to the staircase that led up to the girls dorm.
"I'm going to bed." Scorpius grumbled.
"Oh, don't be so cranky." Stephanie said, standing and ruffling his hair. "You and Albus were adorable earlier, bickering and cuddling almost like a real couple. I can tell you really like him." Steph smiled, " and I'm sure you'll get some eventually." She added with a wink.
Scorpius was not amused. "You've been spending too much time with Wendy. You're getting stupid. I don't like him, not at all. He's just my latest entertainment. He's fun to tease."
"I think you're spending too much time with Andrew. You're getting stupid." Stephanie replied.
"What the hell does that mean?" Scorpius demanded.
Stephanie didn't reply, she simply gave Scorpius a kiss on the cheek and said good night to both him and Sullivan.
Once she had disappeared Scorpius turned to Sullivan.
"Girls are too bloody emotional, trying to turn anything into a fucking love story."
Sullivan gave his friend a pitying look. "You know, it's pretty obvious to all of us that you are attracted to Albus. In fact you look like an idiot when you deny it all the time." Without another word Sullivan walked up the stairs, leaving Scorpius alone.
He felt like he couldn't move. Everyone thought he was crazy for Albus Potter? Seriously? Had they forgotten that this was supposed to be a prank? Sure, he had thought Albus looked appealing tonight, and maybe he had gotten a little turned on, but that was because he had been ridiculously high at the time. Plus, he was a teenage boy! Anything that rubbed up against him made him hard. It wasn't as if Albus was special or different from the rest of the girls he had messed around with. Scorpius could not figure out why his friends didn't see that.
"I guess I'll just have to make them see." Scorpius said to himself.
