Albus did not have much time to investigate before Scorpius returned to Hogwarts. He had not found much out except from Rose who told him that David was nothing more than a �vile man-whore� and there was no doubt in her mind he was capable of committing such an atrocity towards Scorpius.

When Albus discovered Scorpius had retuned he was uncertain of what he should say to him. He did not want to scare off his best mate by telling him that he was madly in love with him. Nor did he want to embarrass Scorpius by telling him that he knew he had been raped. But soon, making this decision was of little importance; Scorpius had made his own efforts to avoid Albus at almost every turn. Albus would sit next to him at breakfast he would leave the table still with a full plate and lie that he was full. Albus would find him in the common room and suddenly Scorpius would need some silent place to go study. It did not matter how Albus attempted to interact with him, Scorpius always had an excuse to leave.
At first he feared that perhaps Scorpius had discovered he was gay and, after his experience with David, was afraid Albus would try to do the same. But this fear was quick in passing, he had not even told his siblings he preferred men, and he very much doubted that his parents would have leaked the news. Albus was left with even more questions and still no answers.
***********************
�It�s a nice day out. Do you want to sit under that one tree with me and we can read those pages Professor Nilles assigned today.� Albus offered once he had caught up with Scorpius at the end of class.
�I can�t. I have to�� Scorpius began to say diverting his eyes so that he did not have to look at Albus.
�You have to what?!� Albus exclaimed as his frustration mounted. �You have to go to the library and read them?� There was a pause of silence as Albus waited for an answer that did not come. �Why can�t we read them together? We are best friends and all you have been doing this past week is completely ignoring me!�
�I�m sorry but��
�Save it Scorpius.� Albus said finally as he walked away turning his back on Scorpius.

*********************
The bright and cheerful day conflicted completely with how Albus was feeling. His histories of magic book lye open on his lap, but he could not concentrate enough to actually read it. His thoughts were completely centered on the events that had just taken place. In part he felt justified in the way he had acted, Scorpius had been ignoring him. Yet, the compassionate side of Albus that loved and cared for Scorpius felt utterly betrayed.
Albus gave a determined sigh as he closed the book and placed it into his bag. He had to find Scorpius and at least apologize for the way he had acted. The last thing he wanted was to drive the blond even further away than he already was.
********************
Scorpius sat in the library at a table. He had not even bothered to take out his book; it would be of no use anyway. Just as he had been for the past week he could not concentrate at all, all he could think about was how he could next avoid Albus. Scorpius wished he could have the company of his best mate, but he was certain Albus would have already heard the story of his rape. Scorpius knew there would be questions he would have to answer, but he was not yet ready to expose his secret to Albus.
Still in the back of his head a small bit of information nagged at him� something David had told him before leaving that night. As always, it was lost in his mind amidst the pain that came with the recalling of that memory.
Scorpius simply sat the table and thought about how much he missed Albus, and the rejection his friend would be feeling at that very moment because he was afraid to confess his sexuality. They had been inseparable, but now they were torn apart. Scorpius had never felt more alone. Tears once more built up. In an attempt to save himself from being seen crying in public, he made his way toward the Ravenclaw common room and into his dormitory.
When he arrived he sat first on his own bed but as his eyes traveled over to Albus� he burst into a sob. He did not have the comfort Albus would have provided in that moment when he needed it most. He did not have the dark haired boy�s gentle embrace, claiming words, or even the sweet forestry scent he had grown so accustomed to. His eyes, blurry with tears, wandered up to the pillow on the bed. It was the same pillow that had provided him a small measure of comfort as David had ravished him. Against his better judgment Scorpius got up and then collapsed into Albus� bed. He buried his face into the pillow and was immediately enveloped in the other boys scent.
***************
Albus could not find Scorpius in the library; his next stop was the dorm room. As he placed his hand on the knob to turn it he head sobbing from the other side. It was not just any sobbing, it was Scorpius. Albus hung his head knowing instantly that the boy was probably crying because of his less than caring exchange earlier. He entered slowly and carefully. What he saw when he entered the room however was not what he was expecting; Scorpius lay in his Albus� bed, face buried into the pillow. The slender body shook with every sob. Albus� heart pounded out of his chest as he approached his bed.
He bent towards the blond and placed a steady hand between the boy�s shoulder blades. Instantly Scorpius leapt up. For a tense moment they simply looked at each other. Albus could no longer restrain himself. He sat on the bed and pulled Scorpius into a tight embrace. �I�m so sorry. I should not have treated you like that.� Whatever emotions the boy in his arms had been holding back suddenly came forth as Scorpius began to cry worse than ever, his body shook as if mildly convulsing.
�Why are you sorry?� Scorpius asked resting his forehead in the crook of Albus� neck. �I ignored you all week. I�m the sorry one.�
Albus could feel his heart breaking. He took a deep breath to calm himself and replied. �Scorpius, I know that� I know that David, well um, he,� Albus paused sensing the rigid tension coming from Scorpius in waves, �he raped you didn�t he?� The blond simply nodded in agreement against his neck. �Everything is alright. I�m here now. I�ve got you.�
�No Albus!� Scorpius said as he began to pull away. �Everything is not alright!� He attempted to get up, but Albus held him firmly.
�Scor.� Albus began sensitively as he pulled the boy�s head to his shoulder once more. �Why did he rape you?�
Scorpius became very tense in his arms. A long silence followed before Scorpius spoke again. �I, um, well I made a deal with him.�
�What kind of deal?�
�He knows something about me that I don�t want other people to know.�
�So he raped you?� Albus countered not quite understanding the connection.
�Well he told me that if I did, ah, certain things for him, he would not tell my secret.�Instantly Albus was repulsed. David had been sexually blackmailing Scorpius since the first time they had met. �But over break, that was the first time he, um, went that far.� Scorpius tears were rolling down Albus� neck and onto his chest. The collar of his shirt was completely saturated.
�What secret is so terrible you let him do that to you?� Albus asked pulling the blond away so he could look into his stormy eyes.
�Promise me you won�t stop being my friend?� He asked, tears dripping from his chiseled nose. Albus simply nodded. �Or tell anyone?� Another nod.
�Albus, I�m gay.�
