Is it Summer Yet?

Dear Dad,
I'm writing you this letter, as you confiscated my phone and I couldn't really leave you a message, Mum, for some reason didn't want to lend me her phone. I just want to say I really didn't want things to turn out this way, So If you're reading this, it means Me and Mum are currently soaking under the sun of Honduras while we rest at the shores of Roatán. We would like to let you know It wasn't our intent to keep you in the dark about this trip it really was a very spontaneous plan, at least to me, and it is common knowledge how you hate things that aren't planned properly so we knew you're approval wouldn't easily come forth. Also as you had forbade me from visiting the Potters this summer Mum had claimed "Scorpius stop moping around this instant it is utterly miserable to watch. I'm putting an end to this! We're going on Vacation" considering that I did not have anything better to do, I went with it and Hence the absconding. The spontaneity and instinctive decisions were overwhelming at first but I feel like Mum has had this planned all along. Once again, Dad, I'm really sorry cause I know you're positively fuming right now and picking up your phone to call Mum, just so you know, you won't be able to reach her. It really wouldn't be a vacation without you, need someone to keep us from going off track. I really do miss you despite.
P.s: If you go to the top drawer of Mum's bedside table you will find a Plane ticket to the Bay Islands, Honduras. Don't worry its business class, you can upgrade it if you want.
P.p.s: My birthday is this Summer, not that you forgot
P.p.p.s: Mum has attached a message for you with the plane ticket its beneath it, and if you haste-tear it I have emailed you the soft copy.
P.p.p.p.s: 712***6020 This is my Mobile Number Text me if you change your mind, I will arrange for your arrival. We really hope you come. I miss you, Dad.
votre plus précieux,
Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy

Oh. Draco was most definitely seething right now. Like How dare! Disobeying him was one thing but completely leaving the continent Is another. Has he been hard on Scorpius, Yes. Has he forbade him from visiting his best friend, Yes ( he never really liked that boy) but all of it was for his own good it's not like he had some Ulterior motive involving Scorpius's friends' Father. Yet still, it doesn't give them the dismissal to do at their own will, especially something like absconding to another country, without his knowledge and no proper way of communication! It was utterly Insane! He is so furious right now he is going to Call Scorpius and his mum and give them a piece of his mind. Other things could wait.
Draco hurriedly pulled out his phone out of his Blazer, clutching the letter in his other hand while he tried to type in the number. He brings the phone to his ear, his leg wobbling anxiously waiting for Scorpius to pick up. With every passing second the tighter his grip on the letter gets.
*Ring*
* you've reached the voicemail of Mr.Malfoy*
** Dad I know it's you I haven't given anyone else my new number. Please text me your decision**
there was an air of silence as,
Draco's nostrils flared as he crumbled the letter in one hand flinging his phone right across. *Crack* shards of the broken phone spluttered from the impact of hitting the wall without giving a second thought he walked out of the room.
" Mr. Mippy!" Draco's furious voice echoed through the hallway as he made his way to the Pantry fury radiating in his every stride. He suddenly halts only to be met with the frightened Butler and two other housekeepers.
"Master Malfoy, Is there something wrong? Anything I can do to help"
"Yes There is, I want the bedside tables in the master bedrooms to be disposed of this instant!" Draco said firmly,
"You two," he addresses the men behind Mr. Mippy " The mess in Astoria's study is to be cleaned up" They immediately look at each other panic-stricken, but leave to fulfill the order after a nod.
" Master Malfoy, am I to retain the contents of the tables? If so where do I store it?" The butler looks at Draco with an inquisitive look
" Throw it all. I couldn't care less!"
Draco's footsteps retreat as he turns the hallway.

<< Scorpius POV >>
he has been waiting all day. yet there is no sign of him. Did he ditch him again? probably. but he'd have a good excuse right, he wouldn't do that to him purposely. He must have gotten caught up with something. Something more important....more important than him.
a long tired sigh escapes Scorpius's mouth. His usually ghastly pale skin sported a mild tan now, his cheeks had a burning feeling from all the sunlight, and he had forgotten his sunscreen while hurriedly getting here to make sure he was on time. It had been three hours, why wantedly call him, ask him to meet, and not show up?
Albus had been quite off lately. They hadn't been speaking as much, Albus hadn't texted back either or maybe he did but Scorpius couldn't possibly check, thanks to his dad. his dad has been giving him a hard time too for god knows why. His Mum hasn't been acting like herself she's been spacing out a lot lately but she's a lot livelier he could say. his lips slightly quirk up a bit, he'd really like for his mother to stay that way. lively and carefree. all these years both his parents have been working so hard, His mum is usually stressed out or always worried about something, he hasn't seen her like this in a really long time. he wishes his dad would quit being stubborn and be there with them right now.
he probably looks like an idiot, sitting outside a surf shop for three hours, even the sun has set the shop's owner has been eyeing him non stop, she is even closing it now. he really has to leave now. Well, it has been just another uneventful day.
he grabs his bag and throws it over his shoulder, he gets up to leave
" SCORPP!!!" he hears someone call
" Scorp! thank god! scorp, Over here!" he turns around unabashedly only to be met with fiery red hair and unmistakable Hazel eyes
" Oh Scorp you're still here! I thought you would have gone back home!" slender arms wrapped around him as Lily pulled him in for a hug.
" lily...uh..hi.." he managed to say, Lily had grown for sure, the last time he had seen her, was when she was an innocent teen who thought he was pretty. Right now all he sees Is a gorgeous, Fierce girl ready to take on whatever comes her way.
" Scorp you're completely mental you know that right? Oh, Albus was so correct. do you realize you have been waiting here since 3.30 in the Afternoon!"
" hey I'm the one who is supposed to be upset here, Can i even ask why Albus didnt turn up or did he just forget."
"Scorp, you know I didn't mean it that way and I am here to get you. Come on let's get going! I know this place for dinner it is absolutely wild, it's got these.."
" Lily. Stop. Aren't you going to answer me? why didn't he show up, I've been waiting like an idiot all day in a completely new country! and that's what he does! he stands me up! and sends his sister three hours later, thinking I'd still be pathetically waiting for him!"
Lily looked at him with guilt and shock from the sudden change of mood.
"What? What is it? Huh? tell me? Did he just Forget?"
" Scorpius. Do you really think Albus would have forgotten? He is your best friend. You should know how he gets every time anything is related to you, you are one of the most important people in his life. and I know that he means the same to you. Right now your best friend really needs you and that's why I'm here. It is up to you now, Albus wasn't in a situation to come and see you." Lily replied in a serious tone her brows furrowing together
"what do you mean...what happened?" Scorpius asks in a shaky voice
"Hey, I don't if I can.." even before Lily could finish
"It's fine! let's just get to Al. okay?" Scorpius completes with a nod, lily nods back with a small smile.
"So do we hail a Taxi?"
" Oh. no no, my Car's right there let's go." Lily informs him, as she starts walking without a second thought he moves to hurriedly follow her.
it was quite a tiring walk back to the road. Lily stops in front of what seems to be a Sarge Green Jeep.
"hey, that's our ride" she points at the Jeep, just when the window in the driver's seat rolls down. Scorpius's eyes widen as he gulps forcefully. He slowly opens his mouth, but no words come out.
"Why's he here?"
