Chapter 2: Discovery of a Dark Book?

Written by: TheChannyWizard

At the great hall, Elizabeth broke off and went to go visit Ravenclaw. There she found Scorpius, Rose, and Al (seated in that order) chatting together. Elizabeth cleared her throat. Rose turned around and jumped and her. "Elizabeth! I honestly didn't see you here!" she looked down to her watch and jumped up. "Ugh, look at the time! Mum's going to kill me if she knows that I'm not studying!"

The three others stared at her in wonder. If you didn't believe that Rose had inherited her mother's brains, you'd believe it now. Elizabeth turned to the two boys. "Err...is she always like this in the beginning of school?" Al laughed and nodded while Scorpius just stared the way she went, deep in thought. "Yoo-hoo! Scorpius! Malfoy? SCORPY!" she yelled loud enough for 3 tables in front of her to hear. Scorpius flushed a beet red and scowled as the other tables snickered.

"Shut it Lizzie! The others are staring!" he hissed, clearly embarrassed. She snickered.

"Sorry mate. You were deep in thought...thinking about Rose???" she jeered. Scorpius flushed even darker.

"Gosh, don't you have other people to bother?" he whispered hoarsely in embarrassment, getting up and running away to the Ravenclaw common room. Al looked lonely, so he stuffed all the food in his mouth, and went running after Scorpius. Elizabeth shook her head laughing and walked back to the Gryffindor table, but passed Slytherin on the way.

"Yea, and then I went down to my Mum and Dad's basement, and found this!" a 3rd year boy was saying, showing his friends a spell book titled: Deepest Darkest Spells: 100 gruesome spells that are sure to get rid of your enemies. Elizabeth stifled a gasp as she ran back to her table.

"...and I told her-" Craig was saying

"James! You'll never believe what I found!" Elizabeth whisper- yelled. James turned around with a confused expression on his handsome features. (and yes, I am in love with James Sirius Potter) "Some Slytherin bloke has a dark spell book! He said he's going to use it against his enemies!"

James smiled. "I'm sure it's nothing!" he said. "Now, let's worry about something more important. Are we going to go to Hogsmeade together?" Elizabeth giggled as he smirked.

"Of all things...Hogsmeade?" she managed to say between giggles. He gave her his best puppy dog face and she sighed. "Fine, you win this round Potter, I'll go with you!" she laughed, smacking him playfully on his arm.

Rose, Scorpius, and Al (in that order) were walking to Herbology with Professor Neville Longbottom. They were talking excitedly about Quiditch practices. "Can you believe that Derek Hunter is the Ravenclaw Quiditch captain?!" Rose squealed as she sighed dreamily. "He really is something" she giggled. Al and Scorpius rolled their eyes and Scorpius's stomach burned with jealousy.

"We'll never understand you Rosie," Al sighed. "We really could care less about Hunter...but Shannon Crawley on the other hand...." Al smirked. Rose's mouth turned into an 'O' in the middle of her rant about Derek Hunter. She smacked his arm. Al looked at her. "What...?" he whined.

"You ,sir, should not be thinking of her! She's dating Kyle Mclaggen for Pete's sake!" she pointed out softly but firmly.

"Ah, but Sylvia Shaklebolt (And yes, Shaklebolt had a son, but I don't know who the mother is) on the other hand..." Scorpius trailed off, a smirk playing on his lips. Rose looked back and forth between the two boys, her face with apparent horror, and smacked her head.

"I don't want to listen to your little fantasies, thank you very much!" she squealed, running off. Scorpius and Al looked at each other, and shrugged, walking to class, still talking about the two girls.

Rose, Al, and Scorpius (I'm sure you're getting tired of me saying that by now...) walked side by side, brooms in hand. It was time for Quiditch try-outs and the three Ravenclaws all had butterflies in their stomachs. Rose was trying out for keeper; just like her father (only so much better than her father (um....no offense Ron!!)) , Al was trying out for seeker (wonder where he got the skills from, huh?), and Scorpius was trying out for beater (eh, I have nothing to say for this...oh wait...now I do!!).

The three friends' shoes sank in the wet grass, and they crossed some fields, just in time to see Derek Hunter start to give everybody a pep talk. Derek Hunter was kind of like this generation's Cedric Diggory. He was tall and lean, not to mention muscular, and was a fairly smart student (uh, well, duh! He's in Ravenclaw). He had shaggy brown hair and dimples (for dimples make the man) with a low voice that, so to say, made most of the Hogwarts girls swoon.

"...so, in conclusion, I wish everybody good luck!" he finished. By this time, Scorpius was inwardly fuming since Hunter was looking at Rose the whole time. "All right, beaters first!" he called out, blowing his whistle. Scorpius looked to the side to see half the Ravenclaw girls giggling on the bleachers. He rolled his eyes, as he got in line to try out his awesome skills. (Insert random name) was up first. He got 3 out of 7 shots- not the best score...(Insert another random name) was up second; he got none of his shots, because he was shaking in so much fear that he had a panic attack, fell off his broom, and was rushed to the infirmary. How unfortunate Scorpius thought as he mounted his broom. He kicked off and felt the adrenaline as he soared through the air.

As the bludgers were thrown up and one by one, he flew to and fro, beating each one of them as accurately as he could. He heard Al, and more specifically, Rose cheering on for him, and gave the last one the biggest 'thwack' he could. The whistle was blown and he slowly flew down. As he landed on the ground, he saw all the girls on the sidelines cheering for him, some girls swooning- he rolled his eyes to this.

But Scorpius Malfoy was looking for one girl, and one girl only; he found her near the bleachers, grinning from ear to ear, cheering alongside Al. As he made his way there, he was crushed in a bone crushing hug by his two best friends. "That was amazing!" Rose squealed, jumping up and down. A shrill whistle was heard and everybody settled down.

"That was amazing mate!" the captain praised him. "Alright, keepers next!" he boomed, as loudly as he could. Rose cracked her knuckles and stretched he legs.

"Wish me luck!" she called back to the two boys.

"Good luck!!" Al screamed, not knowing she didn't literally mean it. Scorpius rolled his eyes.

"Honestly, Al, you really are clueless..." Scorpius commented. Al looked at him confused and Scorpius rolled his eyes again, before turning his attention to Rose. Like him, she was last in line; a fairly big line actually. Ten people were actually trying out. Scorpius watched each of the first eight people failed to save at least 3 goals. Then, contestant nine was up, and the blonde boy's eyes bulged out. There, on the field, was Shannon Crawley, walking up to the post and mounting her broom. Wolf whistles and loud 'woots' could be heard from the bleachers. Shannon managed to save 5 goals, and by the time she ended, Scorpius could see Rose look extremely disheartened. But she wore a determined expression on her face and she mounted her broom gracefully.

Scorpius looked at her in awe as she saved 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, AND HOLY COW, all 7 shots! She landed on the ground with a soft 'thud' and pumped her fist up in the air. The guys were whistling and hooting with cheers as they all crowded up to her. Even from all the way where Scorpius was, you could see her ears, then her face flush with embarrassment from all the praise she was getting. She pushed her way through the crowd and ran up to him-and Al. Scorpius looked her in the eye, having a silent conversation with her. Al took this opportunity to thump her back (which she glared at him for) and Scorpius hugged her, reluctantly letting go. He knew he was probably grinning like a fool, while Rose turned to Al to give him encouragement. Scorpius looked at Al. "Not worries mate! You're a sure in for seeker! You're Harry Potter's, greatest seeker of our last generation, son!" Al took a deep breath and walked over to the fields.

"Alright everyone, you guys were phenomenal, but I can only choose a limited amount of people. So here are our beaters: (Insert random name), (Insert another random name) and Scorpius Malfoy!" Scorpius felt Rose squeeze his arm, and he inwardly smiled. "Keeper: Rose Weasley!" Scorpius squeezed her hand and heard her giggle under her breath. "Chasers: (Insert three random names), and finally our seeker: Al Potter!!" he concluded. "Practice is tomorrow, after lunch. Got it everyone?" the new team nodded enthusiastically and they were dismissed.

"Oh, you were phenomenal Scorpius!" Rose exclaimed, as they walked together down the hall. Scorpius bowed his head down so no one would see the faint blush that was building up.

"Ah, Rose has got a point! That was amazing mate! Where did you learn to do that?" Al chimed in. Suddenly, Scorpius bumped into somebody. He looked up to see Elizabeth Wood and James Potter standing there. "James, James! Guess what? I'm Ravenclaw seeker!" Al exclaimed, jumping up and down.

"I'm keeper!!" Rose added in, not wanting to be outshined. James grinned and gave his cousin and brother each a one-armed hug. "And Scorpius is one of the beaters!" the red-headed girl added, sounding extremely proud. Scorpius saw James's facial features turn from a grin to a scowl. He quickly began to walk away when he heard the Potter boy talk.

"So, they're actually letting the Death Eater's son play?" he sneered. He froze in horror and turned around, his blue eyes as cold as ice. Elizabeth was gripping onto James's arm, a desperate expression on her face.

"James, please, let it go!" she pleaded. He turned to her and shrugged off her arm.

"No! How could they let the son of a Death Eater play?" he questioned, looking at Scorpius with dagger eyes. Scorpius took a step closer to him, his eyes cold and fierce.

"What are you saying Potter?" he spat.

"I'm saying you're a no good, filthy little boy! That's what I'm saying!" he shouted in rage. Scorpius tried to keep the tears from his eyes springing.

"Shut up!" he cried, his voice already choked with tears. James smirked.

"Aw, is the little Death Eater boy going to cry to his Death Eater FATHER?!" he sneered. Scorpius slugged him in the stomach, with every ounce of energy he had, and started to run away before anyone heard or saw him cry. The last thing he heard was Rose shouting and cursing at James, her voice in tears, "YOU TAKE THAT BACK YOU BLOODY BASTARD! TAKE THAT BACK!" before everything faded away and he collapsed on the concrete floor in tears.
