A House Full of Gingers

by writergal24

"Family is fighting. Family is forgiving. Family is making up. Family is being there not only after the battle, but during it, too." A series of 100-word, pretty random oneshots about the nextgen Potter/Weasley/Lupin/(Malfoy) family, dealing with issues from love to babies to death. Ch121:Molly's love life.

40. Chapter 40

Because an anonymous reviewer asked me to do a Scorpius oneshot where he wasn't falling for someone. They suggested Scorpius with his parents, but when I thought about it, I realized that a oneshot just about Scorpius didn't really fall under the category of "A House Full of Gingers." So, Anonymous, I hope this will be good enough.

Scorpius Malfoy first met Harry Potter on Platform 9 ¾ the day he finished his First Year. Albus and Rose had dragged him over to meet their family.

Scorpius had been worried. He knew his father had been mean to Harry in the past and he was afraid that, like so many others had, Harry would treat him weirdly.

But Harry greeted Scorpius almost as warmly as he greeted his family.

Those were the moments when Scorpius forgot about all of the dirt and sneers that clung to his last name, following him like a shadow.

And he was free.

Honestly, I was just amazed that I managed to write about Scorpius without making it even slightly ScoRose ;)

I would have updated sooner, but I got sick on Thursday night and I've literally done nothing for almost 48 hours except sit on the couch and watch TV. The upside of this? It's Harry Potter Weekend on ABCFamily and being sick gives me the perfect excuse to watch Harry Potter all day.

And, a head's up, we are getting close to fifty chapters. When we get there, there will be a special celebration. More details to follow!
