Chapter 40
'scorpius dear have you finished packing yet? Only you've been up here all day and' Astoria Malfoy cut off as she got closer to scorpius' room. 'What's that noise?' 'Nothing, mother' Scorpius replied 'Honestly, will you never learn' Astoria muttered before saying in an more audible tone 'what are you up to scorpius, you must be doing something. Don't lie. You know what happened to great uncle Albert because he lied' 'Mother lying had absolutely nothing to do with great uncle Albert going to Azkaban and you know it, but if you really want to know I'm trying to pack all this parchment into my school trunk' 'Don't you cheek me young man why didn't you say you were still packing in the first place?' 'I didn't think it was that important. Was there something you wanted, mother?' 'just to remind you supper will be at six sharp. Oh and I hope you haven't forgotten that your grandparents are coming' with that she turned around and left Scorpius to it. 'you know hedi, I think my mother likes to do that on purpose remind me at the last minute of something I'm suppose to know.' Scorpius said to the owl that had landed moments before his mother's call 'Right then what's in this box' he continued. Scanning the letter quickly Scorpius found out that the gift was a rememberball. Laughing softly Scorpius read the rest of the letter properly before replying:
Dear miss R
Oh, you know that makes much more sense, why didn't I think of that. To be honest I quite liked your plan even with the owls but your right that would probably give us away, which would be a shame seeing as we have decided not to meet until after our sorting.
Yes, I still have no idea why he wants a divorce but it is only my uncle that wants it. How come you've read a book about magical divorces? Do you think I could ask my cousin if she knows the reason, or do you think I should leave it?
Thanks for that R but the thing is most people aren't like you and they do judge. It seems like your aunt doesn't need to worry either way then, but I guess it is good advice on the other hand though its a lot more difficult for these people not to matter when you see them judging you. I promise not to change my name yet but it really is as bad as I make it sound S... H... M... And each name is as worse if not even worse than the name before. Yeah, I guess I might grow in to my chin but do you know the problem with having a pointy chin like me? No, well it makes it really uncomfortable to lean on not to mention most muggle villains have sharp pointy chins like me. Maybe you can help me with some hair dye at hogwarts so I can blend in slightly better.
That's good to know that you've read the textbooks too.
Thanks for the gift I will use it wisely, just to be sure though do you want it back when we get to Hogwarts if someone gave it to you as a gift?
Question 30 answer is not exactly, but you see I was trying to reach something once and I sort of somehow managed to use accidental magic and managed to vanish all the bones from my lower arm. What about you how did you break what you broke, and what did you break if you don't mind me asking?
Question 31 do you have any family members you sort of don't like? I only ask because my mother just reminded me my father's parents are coming to tea.
As I'm sure you can tell that means my answer is yes, they, my grandfather especially make me feel uneasy and like I'm a slight disappointment to them.
Wow. R, just wow. How do you know the Hogwarts countdown that precisely, that's amazing.
Can't wait
Love from
S
