Meanwhile at the Potters:
The adults went to their bedrooms. Scorpius, Albus and Lily were seated on the sofa. James, Hugo and Rose were on the floor in front of them. Teddy was on a chair, reading a book. While James, Hugo, Rose, Lily and Albus were talking, Scorpius felt uneasy, like a fish out of water next to them. He looked around the living room with his eyes. He noticed portraits of the family, but something caught his eyes. There were some photos of his family. Scorpius can't explain why, but suddenly he felt fear
.- Scorpius, are you ok? - Albus asksScorpius turns his attention back to the group.
Everyone was staring at him, even Teddy.-
Yes! I just got distracted, sorry! You know ... I was thinking about my family - Scorpius
says- What about them? - James asks-
They must be feeling lonely there. Maybe I should just go, you know ... make them some company - Scorpius says-
NO! - Everyone yells- Why not? - Scorpius asks confused-
Because they want to be alone, have fun as a couple duh! - Rose says-
Even so, I feel like I shoud come back - Scorpius says while standing and walking to the door. But someone holds his arm. He turns around and sees Albus holding him.
- Don't go Scorpius, please - Albus pleads
Scorpius notices that James, Rose, Lily and Hugo were around them as if expecting Malfoy to try to run away for them to hold him back. He sees Teddy on the door. There is no other way, I'm already stuck here for the night, liking it or not.
- Well, I couldn't go even if I tried - Scorpius says while looking at the arm Albus was holding
- Good! Let's go make you something to eat and after that, we'll go to my room - Albus says while leading Scorpius by the arm to the dining room.
- Wait here. I'll come back with something for you to eat - Albus says while pointing to one of the chairs of the table. Scorpius seats. Teddy, James and Rose sit at other chairs, while staring at Scorpius all the time.
-I don't know if I'm having an illusion or if I traveled to another world, but they are acting strange- Scorpius thinks.
- So, uhhh ... where are Lily and Hugo?
- They went to their bedroom - Teddy says while looking at Scorpius
Scorpius was starting feeling uncomfortable being the center of attention. So he says:
- It's hot today, isn't it? I guess I will take some air outside - Scorpius says while standing up and everyone, still staring at Scorpius, stood up too. But when Scorpius turns around, he gets scared when sees Albus in front of his face.
- Oh! You scared me Albus! - Scorpius says
- What were you thinking about doing? - Albus asks serious
- I was just gonna take a walk at the beach - Scorpius says confused.
- No, you won't. It' s too late for that and you promised that would stay. Here. I made some sandwich for you. Hope you enjoy it - Albus says while giving the food to Scorpius.
Scorpius sit back at the chair and the others did too. Albus ans Rose sit next to Scorpius. Scorpius started eating the food and it was pretty good.
- Wow! This sandwich is awesome! Thanks, Al - Scorpius says
- You are welcome! - Albus says.
After a few minutes:
Scorpius finished eating and drinking the juice that Teddy had made and decided to go to sleep.
- Well, guys! I guess I'm gonna sleep. I'm really tired. I'll just wash it first - Scorpius says while taking the cup with him.
- No problem, Scorpius. I can wash it. Go to sleep - Teddy says while standing up. He takes the cup from Scorpius and goes to the kitchen.
- Alright. Well, I'm going. Good Night, guys! - Scorpius says
- Good Night! - James and Rose say at the same time.
- Let's go Scorpius. I'll show the room - Albus says
- Okay - Scorpius says while Albus put his arm around Scorpius' sholder while leading him to his bedroom. But, Scorpius did not notice the exchange looks between Albus and the others (James and Rose), where all 3 were with deviously smiles on their faces.
Scorpius and Albus arrive at Albus' bedroom. Scorpius notices some photos of them (Albus and Scorpius) in small portraits.
- Do you still have them? - Scorpius asks
- Yes. They were the best moments of my life, Scor - Albus says
- I feel the same! - Scorpius says while understanding what his friend meant.
- Well, I'm gonna take a shower. Do you need something? - Albus asks
- Ah! No, thanks! - Scorpius says shy
- Alright! I'll be right back - Albus says going to the door to open it. But stops and turns to face Scorpius.
- Scor? - Albus asks
- What is it? - Scorpius asks
- Please, don't go away - Albus pleads
- I won't - Scorpius says while Albus smiles and leaves the door. Scorpius sighs and takes a portrait with a picture of them when they won their first quidditch game. He keeps looking at their happy face.
"Good moments" - Scorpius thinks
Few moments later:
- Scor, I'm bac ... - Albus stops his sentence while arriving in the bedroom. He sees Scorpius holding a portrait with the two of them, sleeping on his bed. Albus comes closer to the bed and kneels next to Scorpius. He whispers:
- Everything is gonna be alright, my love. Just wait a little bit. Soon, you'll be mine and we'll be togeher forever!
