Scorpius zoomed around the room packing, what seemed to a lot more clothes than he had originally come with, Al lay on the bed with the Quibbler in hand flicking lazily through the pages.
"Damn it where are my robes?" Scorpius mumbled, "I was sure Molly had given them to me after she had washed them," he continued as he entered into the bathroom to grab a large bag of bathroom related things. Albus looked over the top of his paper and watched as his boyfriend began forcing the large trunk shut, one already lay by the door shut, with bit of clothing hanging over the lid of it. Scorpius stopped in the middle of the room and starred with one eyebrow lifted as he scanned and then rushed to the left side of the bed and disappeared. Al raised himself slightly as he waited for his boyfriend to appear, which happened only seconds later as he held his robes, "Found them!" Scorpius proclaimed as he threw them into his trunk and slammed the lid closed, using a flick of his wand in order to make it lock.
"Finished then?" Albus asked with a grin on his face and a heavy sigh escaped his lips, Scorpius gave him a confused look as he walked towards him placing a soft kiss on his lips and looked into his eyes. Neither boy spoke as a voice was heard shutting up stairs,
"Scorpius your father is here," Fred's ghostly voice sung, Scorpius stood up and walked towards the door, he turned when he noticed Albus was not coming,
"Come on then!" Scorpius demanded as he waved his wand and the two trunks lifted from the floor and out the door. Albus looked away and sighed again,
"I don't want to watch you go through that fire," he answered sadly, "I'll miss you to much," a tear escaped his eye and he quickly wiped it away while continuing not to look at his boyfriend. Scorpius breathed deeply and starred at his boyfriend,
"Albus dear, what are you in the name of merlin talking about?" he questioned as he walked to Albus and grabbed him by the arm pulling him off the bed and into a kiss, the two boys tongues intertwined and Albus felt his heart rise and then drop when he realized where Scorpius was going and he pulled back, Scorpius face was wide with his famous smirk and began dragging Albus towards the door,
"What are you doing Scor-" Albus began but was cut off but his boyfriend announcing loudly,
"You are coming too," Al felt his face widen with a smile as Scorpius continued to lead the boxes and himself down the winding stairs of the burrow. Albus's heart sank into his rectum,
"c-c-coming too?" he interrogated clenching his fist to his heart. How could a Potter be expected to go to Malfoy Manner? And not just any Potter at that, Harry 'the boy who lived' Potters son! He would be like an octopus out of water there and not to mention what Lucius Malfoy, former death eater had done to his boyfriend for even being friends with him, what would do now that they are together? What would he do now that a Potter was to enter his previous home? Down stairs stood a very awkward Draco Malfoy who coughed loudly,
"Now boys, well be on our way," he said running his hands through platinum blonde hair and gesturing towards the fireplace, "Weasleys, Potter its been a pleasure and I thank you for allowing Scorpius to stay," he said,
"Hang on, boys?" Harry said puzzled,
"Yes potter boys as in my son and your son, it seems Albus will be welcoming in the new year with us at Malfoy manner," Draco said avoiding eye contact with his former classmate,
"Oh" Harry began "right then, um you take care Albus, we are only an owl away if you need us after all," Harry placed his hand on his sons shoulders and squeezed it,
"Good luck in snakevile, sure you'll fit it just fine," James teased,
"Yeah, yeah alright you see you at school," Albus retorted raising his eyebrows and with that the three stepped into the fireplace and Draco gathered the courage to wink at Harry before declaring,
"Malfoy Manner".
Once the flames had cleared Albus was met with a large, dimly light room with a with a black table and leather chair just positioned a few feet away from the fair place they now stood in. The chair lay empty and Al wondered if this was the room that Scorpius had mentioned in his retelling of that first year they had met. Once the three had stood out of the firs place Draco and Scorpius began walking towards the large doors that were at the other side of the room, the walls were lined with thousands of books, and Al couldn't help but think if they were all about the dark arts. Scorpius grabbed his hand as they walked to the door and opened it.
The light flooded into the room they were now leaving, it hurts Al's eyes and he could slightly see Scorpius covering his eyes slightly as they stood out. In the large spacious hallway with it's high celling's and black marble pillars. Al found himself turning his head in all directions, as not to miss anything, this was his first time if Scorpius's house and he wanted to see everything his boyfriend had grown up with. The walls were covered in portraits of Malfoy ancestors all starring at Al, he knew his Black messy hair was that of his fathers and it had already giving him away, he looked quickly to the only women that stood in the hallway which Albus could only assume was Scorpius's mother, her awkward smile gave him an almost uncomfortable shiver as she rushed to her son and held him tightly,
"Oh Scorpius my dear, I have missed you, are you ok? Did they feed you well?" she asked quickly, Draco moved swiftly between his wife and son and motioned to Albus,
"This is Scorpius's ..." Draco stopped for a moment and looked from his son to Albus "and his boyfriend Albus potter, you remember his father, Harry from school dear," he stated more than asked and Scorpius mother moved her eyes to him, not hiding even the shock disgust that lingered in them before forcing a smile and holding her hand out,
"Of course I do Draco, nice to meet you Albus I'm Astoria Malfoy, Scorpius mother" she showed enough of her teeth in her smiled that Al found it difficult not to feel scared, so he instead refused to talk and placed his hand in hers, she shook it quickly and let go before turning back to her son and smiling widely.
Albus embraced the smell of the cooking taking place in the kitchen, of course he had amazing dinners while at his Grandmothers, but this smelt different, almost exotic. Scorpius smiled back his mother and gave a side glance to his boyfriend,
"Yes mother all was fine, they gave me all their wine, I didn't even have to ask," he smirked and gave Albus a sneaky smile, Al smiled awkwardly back and Scorpius took this as a sign his boyfriend needed time to relax,
"Mother we are going to my room, alert us when my grand parents arrive and make sure to have some butter beer ready for us when we come down stairs," and without waiting for answer Scorpius grabbed his boyfriends hand dragged him towards the large Marble stairs, Albus turned his head and gave a low wave,
"It was lovely to meet you Mrs. Malfoy" and they disappeared upstairs out of sight. After they packed their belongings away, Scorpius smirked and turned to Al,
"Well my dear thinking it is time to give you the grand tour,"
"Ye-yeah sure," Al answered with a slight smile, Scorpius continued to smirk and snapped his fingers,
"Potpourri now" and with a little pop the house elf appeared,
"Potpourri welcomes master Malfoy back to the manner, is there anything potpourri can get the master and his friend?" said the small creature itching its ears,
"Yes Wine, the finest we have in fact," Scorpius began, he turned to Albus and smirked, "only the best for you babe," he finished with a cheeky wink,
"Honestly Scor your going to make me vomit," Al laughed.
"Does the masters special friend require a bucket?" peeped Potpourri,
"No no the wine will do for now, thank you," replied Scorpius and with that they began to wonder around the gigantic home of the Malfoy's and it wasn't long before they heard the screeching that was belting out of dear Aunt Bellatrix's portrait words such as
"filth" and "Potter scum in the home that belonged to my sister," were the clearest to make out, Al clenched hard on his wine glass that was barley drank from whilst Scorpius had the house elf pour him a second.
"Ah Albus, I see you haven't met my dear Aunty Bellatrix, actually she tried to kill your mother however your grandmother intervened and murdered her some say the word bitch was used before hand and now she lives here trapped in the portrait, sad times indeed," Scorpius said smoothly swirling his wine round in his glass, Bellatrix's mouth opened and more screeching came out,
"Get that retched Potter boy and his tainted blood out of here, Scorpius you disgrace this family, you blacken the good name of Malfoy and Black with your dirty ways going out with another man, you should find yourself a nice Slytherin girl and not one from the disgusting Potters! You fool Scorpius!" Scorpius chuckled lightly,
"You may call me a fool aunty Bella however you are the one trapped inside a portrait for loosing a duel, anyway Albus moving on to the next family member,"
Scorpius downed half of his glass in one gulp,
"Err actually Scor, I think I understand your whole family from this one encounter, honestly its fine," Al protested,
"Well if you're sure on to the torcher chamber," Scorpius galloped away spilling some of his wine. Al looked at his wine and shook his head, the words,
"Torcher chamber" echoed in his mind and he felt his face pale as he quickly lifted his head to see then back of his boyfriend turn at the end of the corridor. Al ran quickly after him shouting,
"Torcher chamber? Scorpius your joking right?" his words were met with silence as he ran straight into the back of Scorpius, who stood as the house elf poured him another glass of wine, "Right Scorpius?" Al asked again breathlessly. Scorpius knocked back half his glass, of his newly poured wine,
"Of course it's not a torcher chamber, what do you think we are barbicans?..." He paused for a second as his boyfriend relaxed "It's a wine cellar now… but it used to be' Al could feel Scorpius smirk as he sank what was left of his wine and walked forwarding, grabbing of what was left of the bottle of wine from the house elf and empting it into his glass as he stumbled slightly, but just like in Scorpius's style, it still seemed elegant. Albus felt himself shiver and followed lead as his boyfriend, swallowing everything left in his glass and walking forward, he was going to need it.
The house had poured Al a new glass, of a new bottle of wine, as they walked through, what seemed to be endless halls and turns, before Al came to a corridor he believed he recognized, but at this stage they all seemed to merge together. Scorpius was stumbling a little more as he stopped outside a door and turned the handle, Al stopped in front of his waiting for his to speak,
"And this is where we keep the dead bodies" Scorpius said calmly as he walked inside, Al's eye widened as he opened his mouth,
"Wha-" he was cut off as Scorpius pulled Al into his bedroom and slammed the door behind them. Astoria walked pass her room and stopped when she heard her son call out,
"I'M SORRY SCORPIUS! I HAVE WINE DICK, THIS DOESN'T NORAMALLY HAPPEN", her face paled and the other boy called out,
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME YOUR OWN NAME?" Astoria quickly gathered herself together and rushed quickly by, as the house elf stood with earmuffs covering his long pointed ears. The two emerged from the room several hours later, Scorpius's hair in perfect condition as always and Al's sticking out just likes his fathers, but it seemed the sweat was more obvious on Al's hair. The house elf stood outside the door, two glasses and a bottle of wine in hand, as he handed one to Al and one to his master, filling them to the top once again.
"Exactly what I needed," Scorpius stated drinking the whole glass and handing it back to the house elf as he tripped slightly over his own feet and walked forward, "Now down for dinner my love, I'm sure my family are waiting patiently" He continued as he held on to the banister and climbed down the stairs.
I'n the dinning room Al was met with the faces of Scorpius's mother and father and the deathly stare of Lucius Malfoy and the side-glances of his wife Narcissa. The two boys sat and Scorpius lifted his glass nodding to his family and looking at his boyfriend with a small smile, Albus hiccupped slightly and covered his mouth. Scorpius smirked and turned to his father,
"Father did you hear that? The boy is very very trollied, Merlin Albus, learn to hold your drink" Scorpius smirked again and looked at his boyfriend. Al lifted his eyebrow confused,
"I've had two glass of wine, Scorpius, you on the other hand have had twelve bottles."
"Nonsense boy, I have barley drank at all I feel find and dandy," Scorpius said,
"You've brought that to my house and you expect me to dine with it," Lucius said sitting his scotch on the table peering over at Albus "A Potter at Malfoy manner, I never thought I'd live to see the day and to be frank it should have been over my dead body,"
"Now that's enough Lucius, I want to get to know my grandsons boyfriend, after all you and him may share a name one day, now dear what NEWTS are you taking?" came the voice of Narcissa Malfoy from across the table, Albus gulped,
"Um potions, defense against the dark arts, herbology and transfiguration and hang on share a name, what makes you think I'll be the one taking his name," Albus laughed playfully,
"Come on Albus lets be very serious here, what the fuck did you think was going to happen, of course you'll be taking my name!" Scorpius exploded,
"Yeah? We shall see," Albus retorted grabbing his boyfriend's hand and squeezing it as he went to pull away Scorpius tightened the grip and intertwined their fingers,
"There is no need for that at the table." Lucius bellowed.
"Leave them be! I quite enjoy seeing young love, your very nice together you too, and I think Albus you'll be able to handle my handful of a grandson just fine," Narcissa beamed at the two, Lucius arose from the table,
"I will not sit around such disgusting displays, not only are you involved with a Potter but its not even a female one, you Scorpius are a repulsive young man who clearly was not bred properly and I know you do not get it from my side of the family so clearly your father chose the wrong whore to fuck and impregnate,"
"Do not ever dare think you can come into my home and talk about my mother in that manner old man," Scorpius arose from his and pulled his wand out,
"Outside grandfather, shall we?" Scorpius face-hardened.
"Just you remember little boy, who's house this was before your pathetic self found itself inhabiting it, and yes we shall let me show your stupid worthless boyfriend just how big you really are," Lucius gestured towards the door while his wife screamed that this was enough ordering both men to sit down,
"Sorry grandmother, I love you but this is personal," said Scorpius leaving the table completely, Albus grabbed the back of him,
"Darling you don't have to do this, this is what he wants, just look at me and calm down," Albus's hands were caressing Scorpius's face and Scorpius leaned in for a passionate kiss,
"Albus you know I have to," he said giving a look and as if Albus could read his mind he knew that this was not something the alcohol had brought on, this was not merely the things said this night this was years of torcher and abuse spilling out and the lid was about to be screwed on tight.
