Chapter 12
He moved his hands over his back, in his hair, over his cheeks and Albus felt like he was in heaven.
Feeling Scorpius so close to him makes him stop thinking entirely. Laying under him—was heaven
They‘ve been doing that for the whole summer now. They don’t bother to go outside, snogging in Scorpius room is much more fun. Albus presses the boy closer to him while having his hands on his waist. Scorpius laughed into the smile when he suddenly stopped.
There was a long silence were he just looked at the door. „My dad“ he said
They separated and right after that the door opened. „Scorpius, I’m out until at least tomorrow evening, just so you know“ he said „Alright dad“ The door closed again and they both started laughing.
They hadn’t felt this happy in a very long time. Finally feeling him was all Albus ever wanted. They‘re connected in a whole other level now and Albus wishes he could touch the blonds hair forever.
„It’s hard keeping secrets from him“ Scorpius said. „I should‘ve come out to him a long time ago, I just—I can’t“
„Don’t pressure yourself, Scor. Take all the time you need“ he said and hold his hand. „I haven’t come out yet either, and I don’t know when I should come out. I just tell them when they asked“
„Do you think they‘re gonna be cool with that?“
„Well, my aunt Luna is queer, so I think they won’t mind“ Scorpius smiled by that answers. „what do you think? Does your dad accept you?“
He exhaled. „I don’t know. We don’t talk about that kind of stuff“ he said. „Maybe he would accept me for who I am or—he‘ll kick me out of the house. We‘ll see“
„He’s not gonna do that. You‘re his only son“ he said. Scorpius slide in his arms and hugged him tight as they lade on his bed. „Besides, if he really does that, you‘re always welcome at my home“
„Really? Your dad doesn’t mind?“
„Oh no, he will. We just ignore him“

The sun of August was shining through the summerhouse of Eudora‘s parents. They used to hang out here everyday last summer. When they got back here, it seemed like nothing ever changed.
„would you roll me a fag too, Albus?“ Eudora asked.
They got closer again this summer, which is a relive to Scorpius and Timothy because their fighting was always pretty harsch.
„but they look very ugly, Eudora“ Timothy said and laughed.
„You can smoke them, so shut up“ The others don’t know about Albus and Scorpius, but they will find out eventually.
Scorpius and Albus want to spent the time for themselves in secrets—no one needs to know what they‘re doing right now. It’s gonna be so much harder when they get back to Hogwarts.
<3
By the time Albus and Scorpius got back to the Malfoy manor, Mr Malfoy arrived at home
„Hey dad“
The man had two letters in his hands. „Haven’t you saw than when you came in?“ he asked and gave them to the boys
„My god-„
„Oh shit“
They opened the letters and saw their grades of their OWL‘s. While Scorpius smile grew bigger, Albus couldn’t even get over himself to read his.
„What do you got?“ Albus asked and looked at his boyfriend who smiled bright.
„It’s okay I guess. Just have O‘s in every subject“
„shut up“ he took Scorpius letter and saw it himself. He passed every subject with an O. „You stressed yourself for nothing“
„Well, you know me“ he said and showed the letter to his father. You could see in his gaze how proud he is. „What did you got?“
„not important“ he said. „Just—i only failed two classes“
He rolled his eyes and takes a look on his letter. „How did you fail charms?“
„Hard to explain“ he said and lade his head in the table.
„You have an O in potions?“ Draco asked and Albus look up again. „you sure you‘re Harry‘s son?“
„Unfortunately“
<3
Scorpius bedroom was comfortable. It seemed different than the other rooms in the Malfoy manor. Scorpius explained it to him—every room changes into the owners personality. That’s why Scorpius room seems so much lighter than the others. The walls were normal white except for one—it was lime green. His bed was also in the same Color as the one wall. There were plants everywhere and white bookshelf’s.
When Scorpius came back from the shower, his blond hair was wet and messy and you could clearly see his curls.
He leaned to Albus and kissed him. „When we go to Diagon alley Tomorrow, I need to go to flourish and blott‘s. I‘ve been looking for that one book for months now“ he said and lade besides Albus
„Which one?“
„About a healer school in New York. I heard a lot of great healers went there so I just wanted to see how it is“ he said. „there’s no chance I could ever go to this school, but you know—I just wanted to see how this school is“
„Why would you think that?“ he asked. „The one who had O‘s in all of his OWL‘s exams thinks he can’t do something like this?“ Scorpius starts smiling by his words. „You can do whatever you want, you‘re awesome“
Scorpius moved his hand to his cheek and gave his boyfriend a long, Intense kiss. Scorpius moved his body above him and Albus hands were in his waist. As they stoppt—Scorpius just looked at every detail in his face and tried to remember every detail—he looked at him like he’s about to disappear forever
„You‘re staring“ he said and smiled
„You make it hard not to stare“
„are you flirting with me, Mr Malfoy?“
„I sure am, Mr Potter“ They kissed again—this time more intense.
<3
Diagon alley was full with wizard and witches as usual. It was a hot summer day in mid August. Scorpius was in Flourish and blott‘s for at least an hour looking for his book. He even asked the man on the counter—were he had to disappoint Scorpius.
„it’s so frustrating“ he said. „Nowhere in this god damn country is the book“ he said.
„Maybe in the Hogwarts Library?“
„I‘ve already looked there“ he said. He was laying against the wall of the bookstore and layed his head in his hands. „I‘ll just give up“
Albus looked around and saw that they were in a alley without anyone around them. He lifted Scorpius chin with his finger and gave him a quick kiss. „do you wanna get ice cream?“ Albus asked and Scorpius smiled bright
They both couldn’t get their eyes form each other. And when they check again if anyone can see them—Scorpius pulled the other boy close to him and gave him another—this time longer kiss. „ice cream would be great“
<3
Albus came home from the Malfoy’s in late August. Every time he’s not with Scorpius he feels so alone. He misses his touch and the smell of his hair. He misses his lips on Albus‘ and his hands tight around his waist.
It was like a state of euphoria when he was with him. He never thought that he could be so close to his best friend—now secret boyfriend.
„someone seems happy“ his mother said as he entered the kitchen. „Had a good time at Scorpius?“
„Yea“ he said. „It was fun“ by the memory’s he had to smile bright—and it didn’t stop until he had fallen asleep in his bed
<3
We see each other tomorrow in the train
I can’t wait
Me too.
I can Promise you that the second I see you I’m gonna snogg your face off
I honestly don‘t understand British people, what is „snogg“ even suppose to mean?
Oh that’s what you‘re focused on right now?
I can’t wait till you snogg off my face
Albus laughed into himself. He‘s on cloud seven right now. Everything is all beautiful and rainbows that he’s scared any moment now, everything will be destroyed. It’s too good to be true
„What are you smiling about?“ a familiar voice echoed through his room As he looked at the door, he saw who it was.
„Teddy!“ He jumped off his bed and Albus had to put his phone away quickly.
„Who are you texting?“
„No one?“
„No one? Is that so?“ he said and smiled. His blue hair seems to have changed colours over the time they haven’t seen each other. „who’s that no one that makes you smile like a morron, huh?“
„So what’s going on in your life?“ Albus tried to change the subject. „how are the dragons you‘re training?“
„Albus“ he said and his smile got even bigger. „Who is she?“
„Who is who?“
„you know what I’m talking about“ he said and tried to get his phone. „Come on, tell me“ Albus holds his phone tight in his hands and tried to scream as Teddy Lupin almost had it in his hands
„Okay, okay! I Tell You“ and he stopped. Albus was already out of breath and tried to put his story so he won’t know it’s Scorpius. „I might date someone right now“
„I knew it“ he said. „Name?“
„I can’t tell you“
„Alright, well, how do you know her?“
„I know that person from Hogwarts. They‘re in my year“ he said and almost had to laugh about that Teddy doesn’t even notice anything. „We‘ve been dating for a month now…and I really, really like them and I’m also kinda scared I might mess it up“
„Damn“ he said. „You must really like this person. And if they like you back, than you shouldn’t be scared of messing up“
Albus smiled. „Yea…probably“
„You should pack now“ Teddy stood up and was walking out of his room. „Tomorrow Hogwarts and seeing your boyfriend must be exiting“
„Please don’t tell my parents“ he said before opening the door. „I haven’t come out yet…to anyone“
„Am I the first one?“ „James knows, and Scorpius does too“
He raised an eyebrow and removed his hand from the door knob. „You‘re dating Scorpius Malfoy?“
He exhaled. „Yea“
<3
When he saw Scorpius at King‘s cross—he just wanted to hold him and never let go. They saw each other only a few days ago, but it felt like a lifetime.
Most of the comportments were full. Only the one where Eudora and Timothy were sitting—so no way they could give each other a Hello-kiss. Eudora was already asleep on Timothy‘s lap before the train even started moving. Scorpius read his book and Albus listener to his playlist before his phone is not working anymore.
While he’s doing that, he’s watching Scorpius completely focused on his book. He was pretty—very pretty. Since they got together, Albus couldn’t explain himself how someone like Scorpius likes someone like him.
„Do you think It would bother anyone when I smoke in here?“ Eudora asked tiredly while still laying on Timothy’s lap
„It would bother me“ he said
„be quiet, pillows don’t talk“
„You‘re still half asleep and you wanna smoke?“ Scorpius asked almost laughing You can’t tell if she’s really awake or just talking in her sleep.
Her eyes were still closed while she was talking. Maybe it’s the lack of nicotine in her body speaking.
Eventually, Timothy fall asleep too. Albus still hasn’t removed his gaze from Scorpius.
„You‘re staring again“ he said quietly without talking his eyes away from his book
„You‘re beautiful“ He didn’t wanted to show it, but he was hiding his smile and his cheeks turned lightly pink.
„We‘re not alone“ he said „They’re asleep“
„they could wake up“
„Would that be so bad?“
The Malfoy slightly lade his head to his side. „Not for me“ he said He smiled and layed towards him. It was a quick kiss on the lips
„Cute. Now let me read“
„Ouch“ he said Sarcastically offended.
„Wait till we‘re back in our dorm. You can’t get enough of me“
