The Slug Club
Obviously it was going to happen.
If people made a fuss about the son of the savior of the magic world and the son of Draco Malfoy existing, it was obvious they would make a fuss about them being friends. And about them dating?
Yeah, they should have seen it coming.
It wasn’t that they weren’t used to it. Honestly, the meetings of the Slug Club were sort of fun. Sometimes. If he tried enough… Who could blame Albus, though? He didn’t like people. And he didn’t like attention and he didn’t like the extra attention that came from being a Potter and it was all just too damn much .
He still always agreed to go, being it for the food, or for being polite, or because he got to see Scorpius excitedly speak about his plans for the future and all the random information about healing he had. There was nothing better than seeing Scorpius being happy and enthusiastic,
And the best part of it all, was that now that their relationship was public, he didn't have to worry about watching Scorpius with heart eyes for too long.
So maybe Albus was looking forward to the Slug Club Meeting. And that made him happy, because it meant he was getting out of his shell. Which was good. His sixth year was close to an end, and it probably would always be Albus’ favorite. He started the year being awkward, and even if less than other years, the fact that his crush for his best friend didn’t seem to go away made the chance of starting the year confidently very faint. And now, he was dating the boy of his dreams, and he was looking forward to a social event for the first time in his life.
The last meeting of the year was always the most informal one, which was why Scorpius chose a nice yellowish sweater to go with his outfit, in case he got cold in Slugthorn’s office. Albus told him he looked good in yellow, because now that they were dating he could say that kind of stuff. Scorpius blushed at the compliment and Albus blushed back because he would never get used to it.
It was James’ last meeting, since he was finally graduating Hogwarts, so the attention got directed mostly to him, but Albus still got a chance to listen to Scorpius talk about all of his knowledge on how poisonous plants could be the future of magical healing.
He didn’t pay much attention though. He was worried thinking about how Scorpius Malfoy could be his future.
