Chapter 5
pov: Scorpius Malfoy
“I'm not doing this again Scorpius! You will find a girl or I'll find one for you.”
My father said as he kept walking through the haunted-like halls of Malfoy Manor, I saw his fingers curled into fists as he yelled at me
“Dad please-”
“You will call me father and you will be marrying as soon as possible!”
He stopped walking as he yelled at me, his accusing finger pointed at me. My eyes falter to the ground, tears falling
“We will have guests in 30. Go to your room Scorpius. Come back down to greet them with me. Be presentable.”
My father was a cruel man, it seemed to others that he had changed but he hasn't.
A cold heart and colder walls.
I trudged up the stairs.
I needed Albus, Albus would take care of me.
I open the door to my room, a very spacious room, painted green for Slytherin and Albus’s gorgeous eyes. My dark brown desk next to my bed with my trunk at the bottom. A walk-in closet equipped with a full bathroom on the other side of the room.
I walked into my bathroom, my pearly white hair was messed up and strands were everywhere. My face flushed and my eyes were reddish. A sigh emerges out of me as I lean against the sink.
A loud clang of glass makes me squeak, I carefully go to my window, Albus? It's Albus..!!
“ALBUSS!!”
my smile was instantly back on my face as I opened the window, taking his broom off of him and propping it against the dresser I didn't wait till he took off his coat, I needed to feel his arms around me.
Albus had gotten considerably stronger and it shows off, I feel safer in his arms, secure and content
“Scorp!”
Albus smiled and he hugged me back
“Sorry for no owl or anything but I had to come see you..! It feels like ages since I've seen your face!”
Albus said while he nuzzled his cheek into my already messy hair
“Merlin I missed you too but.. I have to go... We have visitors..”
I stated, feeling uneasy just thinking about it
“Ooh don't worry ill stay here until you're back~!”
And who could say no to that smile, to that boy? Not me.
“That would be perfect.. but.. our visitors.. are not just any visitors…”
My fingers fidgeted as I paced a bit
” What do you mean? Like… uh… well, who?”
He gave up on guessing as I gave up on trying to tell my father I didn’t want a wife in a few years
”My father, he is… adamant on me having a girlfriend right now and getting married once I’m 18…”
The words came out and I wanted to take them back instantly, Albus looked dismal at my confession.
“I-im going to find a way..! I promise... I'll do anything to be with you, only you Albus”
I stuttered, feeling nervous and so painful.
“I know you'll find a way. I love you so much Scorpius, go on and be strong...”
Albus said before pressing a comforting and reassuring kiss to my forehead with a somewhat fake smile.
Again, I treded down the haunted halls of Malfoy Manor. My father was standing in his Mr. Malfoy mask.
I liked my dad when he was Draco or just Dad, right now he is Mr. Malfoy and my father. I stood next to him, straightened my posture, and clasped my hand in front of me.
“Right on time.”
My father said as the door opened.
A man with light brown curly hair walks in first, his sleek modern robes draping the floor behind him. He grinned as he saw my father if I had to guess the man was an old friend
“Crab, long time no see”
My father gave “crab” a hug with a smirk. Crab and my father started to talk
“Oh Scorpius do meet Anna, she is a lovely young lady.”
Said my father, as if he had just forgotten I had been there, behind “crab”
A pretty girl, long brown hair with brown eyes, and a pretty face was dressed in a sage green dress that complimented her.
Crab offered to have me and “Anna” go in the sitting room to “talk” or something. Anna seems eager to, but not so much for me.
It felt like it had been hours when she finally stopped talking, I could be a talker too, I know it but that was truly unbelievable! I didn't know someone could talk so much about so little!
I stood next to my father as he wished them both well and a safe flight home, I was eager to get back to my room.
Click, lock
The door closes and the automatic lock switches. I instantly start for the stairs to get back to my room, to get back to Albus.
“How did you like her Scorpius? She is a wonderful young girl, with outstanding marks, and she's sure to be an important figure.”
My father said in his enlightening tone
“She was... Okay..? Uhm, had lots to talk about”
I countered back, trying to put the uncomfortable situation in the best terms which weren't very good anyways.
“Great. I want you to ask her out next time you see her which I will be scheduling soon.”
My father promises while he looks at his watch, checking the time.
“Father..! No! I-i had just met her! I truly don't think-”
“Scorpius! I will not do this again-”
“Dad I'm gay.”
