"Are you sure we aren't going to get caught?"
"You are such a goody-two-shoes." Al muttered, pulling Scorpius along the corridor.
"I'm supposed to be doing rounds." Scorpius said, frowning, fingering his prefect badge.
Al rolled his eyes, "And I'm supposed to be in bed, far away from you. Is that what you want?"
Scorpius's grip tightened on Al's hand, "No." He admitted.
Al gave him a knowing smile that was tinged with exasperation, "Then shut up, and follow me."
Scorpius sighed resignedly, following Al through the castle. He stopped walking when he realised they were heading for the Gryffindor tower.
"Al? Why are we heading this way?"
Al sighed, turning to Scorpius, "Do you trust me?"
Scorpius didn't even have to think. "Of course I do."
"Then stop questioning me. Do you want this to be a surprise or not?"
Scorpius pouted, "I just don't see what the surprise is if we're only going to the Gryffindor Common Room."
"You are so bloody impatient, love." Al mused, shaking his head.
"So I've been told." Scorpius said as they stopped in front of the Fat Lady.
"You're letting the Slytherin corrupt you, Mr Malfoy. Take care." She said as she swung outwards to admit them when Scorpius uttered the password.
"I'm inclined to agree with her. Al, what are we doing here?"
Al ignored him this time, heading straight for the fireplace. Taking out his wand, Al tapped five seemingly random stones with his wand. The stones folded into one another to reveal a hidden staircase that went up.
Scorpius gasped, walking around the space, "How did you know that was there?"
"Teddy told me about it. He found it when he was in school here. Apparently his dad had written about it in one of his diaries. Even my dad doesn't know it exists." Al said, pulling Scorpius into the alcove and tapping his wand to the wall once more. The bricks rearranged themselves, closing off the opening at the Gryffindor Common Room.
"From what I've heard from your siblings, your dad has a map of the whole school that Teddy's dad helped write. Wouldn't he have put this in?" Scorpius wondered, following Al up the stairs.
Al chuckled, "They weren't called Marauders for nothing. Teddy said that in the diary his dad explained that they couldn't be sure what house the students who ended up with the map would be in. And what kind of Gryffindors would they be if they gave away house secrets?"
"And yet his son turned around and told the secret to a Slytherin?" Scorpius chuckled, "Oh, the irony."
Al nudged Scorpius's shoulder with his, "Fuck you." He said with no real anger, "Besides, Teddy told me about this before I even started school. He didn't know I wouldn't be in Gryffindor. He used to bring Victoire up here. If I'm right, and I'm the only one he told, then it should look exactly like he described it." Al stopped in front of a large, heavy-looking wooden door.
When turning the knob didn't work Al tried alohamora. That too produced no result. Al frowned, studying the door thoughtfully before gesturing for Scorpius to move back.
Scorpius frowned, "Al, what are you—" He cut himself off when Al all but threw himself at the door. At the impact, the door shuddered and fell backwards the rusted hinges coming off, and Al fell with it. Scorpius rushed to kneel next to his crazy boyfriend, "Al! Merlin, are you hurt?"
Al just groaned as he sat up, flashing a grin at Scorpius as he dusted himself off, "I knew that would work." He looked around the room and his eyes widened, "Whoa!"
Seeing that Al wasn't hurt, Scorpius also perused the room, feeling his lips part in surprise as he did. He had expected a dusty room with perhaps a couch, table and maybe, since Teddy had apparently brought Victoire up here, a bed. What he saw was no dusty room.
The room was circular in shape but only the half to Scorpius's left was walled. The other half was open, giving whoever was in the room a spectacular view of the quidditch grounds and the Forbidden Forest. The room did have a full ceiling though – which meant that rain and snow couldn't get in.
Pushed up against the walled half was a large double bed complete with scarlet and gold sheets and pillows. Beside it was a bedside table on one side and a large shelf lined with books on the other. Four brooms, old ones that looked as if they hadn't been used in years, were piled up beside the door. A throw rug occupied the middle of the room and a mirror stood a little away from the bedside table. It didn't look like someone hadn't been there in over ten years.
"Do you think the house elves know about this place?" Scorpius asked, moving towards the bed, running his finger along the line of one of the rows of the bookshelf. Not a speck of dirt.
"They must." Al nodded, moving in the opposite direction toward the open half of the room. With no railing whatsoever, Al felt as if he stood at the edge of the world when he stood there.
"Al." Scorpius's voice held fear, "Come here."
Smiling inwardly, Al turned and made his way to where his boyfriend stood by the bed. He slipped his arms around Scorpius and leaned forward, one of his hands pulling away the tie in the Gryffindor's hair. "So, what do you think?"
"I think I want to break in the bed." Scorpius muttered huskily as his hair fell out of its ponytail and around his face, shoulders and back.
"And I think that's a great idea." Al conceded, closing the distance between their faces.
Combing his hands through Scorpius's silky hair, Al held his boyfriend's head in an angle that allowed him to dominate the kiss. Loving this new side of Al, Scorpius pressed himself up against the Slytherin. Al broke the kiss, and, ignoring Scorpius's whine of protest, he kissed the line of his boyfriend's jaw to his ear, nibbling on the pierced lobe there, earning a needy whimper from Scorpius.
"You're mine." Al whispered hotly against the Gryffindor's ear.
"Yours." Scorpius agreed, wrapping his arms tighter around Al's shoulders and jumping up to link his legs around Al's waist.
Al instinctively placed his hands on Scorpius's butt, kneading it as he pressed him back against the bookshelf, kissing him once more.
"Mmnnngh!" Scorpius whimpered, pulling away from the kiss as Al's erection rocked against his own, "Fuck! Al!"
"You're never going to do this with anyone else." Al said through rough, biting kisses that he placed along Scorpius's neck, "Ever again."
"Oh, Merlin!" Scorpius threw his head back as Al's hands gripped his ass particularly hard, "Ungh! No. Never again." He promised, tightening his grip on Al's neck with his hands and waist with his legs as he tried to grind harder against Al's erection, "I won't want to."
"Because you only want me." Al said, raising his head to hit Scorpius with the impact of those green eyes that were filled with dark desire. Just that look took him over the edge.
Throwing his head back, he moaned Al's name loudly as he came in his pants. The orgasm was a powerful one, and it took Scorpius a few minutes to come down from it. In that time, Al drew him close and deposited him on the bed on his back, before moving to lie beside him.
"What exactly did Smith say to you?" Scorpius asked finally, when he was done catching his breath. He turned his head to look at Al's shadowed face, reaching up to cup his cheek with one hand, caressing his cheekbone with a finger. "Tell me."
"Nothing important." Al said, turning his head to kiss Scorpius's palm.
Having expected an answer along those lines, Scorpius just sighed, looking up at Al with soft silver eyes, "You know you're it for me, Al. It may be too early for me to be saying stuff like this, but it's true. You were always it for me. No one else could ever match up."
His words earned him a small but genuine smile, and the darkness in those green eyes dissipated slightly, "It's not too early."
Scorpius knew what Al was trying to say and grinned, showing that he understood. Perhaps Al couldn't voice his feelings yet the way Scorpius could, but he knew Al felt the same way. And that was enough. In fact, it was more than Scorpius had ever dreamed he'd have.
With that thought in mind, he turned and reached for Al's belt, unbuttoning and unzipping his pants. Al's eyes widened, "Scor, what are you—ungh!" Al arched up into his touch as he pressed his hand to the clothed erection, shutting those green eyes as a look of pure ecstasy crossed his face.
"It doesn't seem fair that I have all the fun." Scorpius said, moving closer as he pushed Al's pants and underwear down, leaving him bare, hard and leaking. Scorpius couldn't help but lick his lips.
"You don't have to." Al said, his voice rough, and when Scorpius looked to him he saw that's Al's gaze was focussed on his mouth.
Scorpius chuckled, "Oh, love, I want to."
That being said, he reached for Al and wrapped his hand around the long, hard length making his boyfriend whimper with need. Scorpius shifted so that he was pressed up against Al's side, his hand gliding slowly up and down Al's shaft as he pressed soft, lingering kisses along Al's neck and jaw. Al let out a harsh breath as Scorpius flicked his thumb over the head of Al's erection, spreading the pre-cum over the length so it was easier to jerk his boyfriend off. Scorpius increased the speed of his motion and Al moaned, fisting the sheets on either side of him as his head turned toward Scorpius, searching.
Scorpius leaned forward and caught Al's lips in a bruising kiss, marvelling at how utterly gorgeous his boyfriend was, especially like this. His jet-black hair was at its messy best and those green eyes were large and dilated with pleasure. Soft pink lips were parted and the most delicious sounds left them.
"Oh! Mmnh! Scor!" Al gasped, "I-I'm going to—"
Scorpius felt a rush of satisfaction as his hand became coated with Al's cum. He grinned and brought his hand up to his face, licking one finger clean as Al watched hungrily. "Mmm." Scorpius hummed, "Yummy."
"Merlin." Al breathed, tangling his hand in Scorpius's hair and crashing their lips together. He could taste himself on Scorpius's tongue, and it was incredibly arousing. If he hadn't just gotten off, he would desperately need to.
Al broke off the kiss and reached for his wand, muttering a cleaning spell so both Scorpius and he could lie comfortably without worrying about the mess they had made of one another.
Scorpius sighed contentedly and curled up against Al, resting his head on Al's chest, "You know, everything you made me say when you had me up against the bookshelf stands for you as well."
Al chuckled, "I know, love."
"Good." Silence reigned between them for a long moment, before Scorpius asked, "How come you haven't been up here before?"
Al lifted his head to meet his boyfriend's silver gaze, amused and thrilled by the warm look in them, "I didn't really have anyone to come with, did I? I didn't want to tell Fran and Dai about it. If I did, they'd always be up here."
Scorpius grimaced at that thought and then frowned, "But what about your cousins? Or your siblings? I'm sure they would have loved to explore this place with you."
Al shook his head; "They would have been annoyed with Teddy for not telling them about it. Besides, I always saw this place as somewhere I could maybe come for refuge. What kind of refuge would it have been if everyone knew about it?"
Scorpius sat up, "A refuge? A refuge from what?" He asked, confused.
Al looked away from him, a faraway look coming into his eyes, "From my thoughts. From other people's opinions and comments. From my family and friends." Al sighed.
Scorpius shifted closer to his boyfriend, "Don't come up here to hide from me." He said solemnly, running his hand through Al's short black hair, "Don't ever feel like you need to."
Al leaned forward and kissed Scorpius's forehead, "You know, there are times when I feel like I'm alone, even when I'm surrounded by people, because of how different I am."
Scorpius nuzzled Al's cheek, "Different from who, love?"
"Anyone who matters." Al admitted softly, burying his face in the crook of Scorpius's neck, inhaling the scent of his hair.
"Oh, Al." Scorpius wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and held him close; "Being different is what makes you so special. I love that you're different."
Silence met his words and Scorpius knew Al was not convinced, but he decided to let it go, opting to hold Al instead. He knew he would get another opportunity to convince his boyfriend to believe him. For now, it was enough that Al was willing to let the Gryffindor comfort him.
