Chapter Eleven:
November 10th:
Scorpius hefted the bag from his back and dropped heavily onto his stomach on the cushioned rug before the lighting fire.
"Must you throw yourself about the place like that?"
Severus's irate tone broke through the haze of tiredness in his mind and Socrpius opened one silver eye to gaze up at the portrait of his father's Godfather. "I am sorry, Sev, but I'm exhausted. It's been a long day."
Severus placed aside the book he had been reading, his blank face morphing into one of strained interest. "Go ahead. Speak your mind, mister Malfoy or I shall go insane from listening to your self-pitying moans throughout the evening."
Scorpius glared at the picture as he pulled himself into a sitting position, shrugging from his robes to release his wings slowly. He smiled in relief. "It's not that anything's happened, and I suppose that's the problem."
Severus raised an eyebrow. "Meaning?"
Scorpius sighed and rummaged through his bag. He captured an apple from the bottom and rested on his stomach once more, his wings fluttering behind him as he bit into the fruit. "I am tired Severus. That's the point. I've only had one class with miss Fleur and the classes have been anything but strenuous and yet I feel constantly weary."
Severus offered a thin smile, his dark eyes bright. "Might I suggest, Scorpius, that you are simply bored? It is, I am told, the infliction all teenagers must bear with. With McGonegal directing any post for you that is not directly from Malfoy Manor into oblivion and the students too fearful to approach you, I am certain life has fallen into its usual boring routine."
Scorpius frowned as he considered that, his tongue running over his teeth. It was true that life at Hogwarts had returned to a semi-normality. With the exception that he was no longer considered a Slytherin, sitting at the Gryffindor table and speaking with Gryffindors, life had, indeed, gone on as before. His only remaining connection to Slytherin was, of course, Alistair Brook, the former dorm mate who had been the only Slytherin to show him some modicum of friendship.
Not that Scorpius had been devastated by his house's withdrawal from him. Whether from fear or their disgust at his 'abnormality' Goyle and her heavy-set friends had taken to vanishing as soon as they glimpsed Scorpius.
It took the sarcastic tone of Severus waking him from a sudden doze for Scorpius to realise that this was not due to simple boredom.
The potions master stared down at him curiously. "Perhaps it would not be a waste of time to see that fluttering nurse, madam Pomfrey." He sneered, before returning his attention to the book in his lap.

Scorpius walked the halls after his trip to the infirmary with a frustrated furrow on his brow. He cursed when he stumbled sleepily and clipped his shoulder on a corner wall.
"Scorpius?"
The blonde turned with a smile, his silver eyes landing on green eyes so familiar. The jolt he received in his stomach when it was Albus' eyes he was staring into was completely absent with the twin orbs of Lily Potter. The younger girl smiled up at him brightly, her auburn curls just brushing the shoulders of her robe. "Are you alright, Score? Dizzy?"
Scorpius laughed, waving his hand carefully, "Not at all," he lied easily, "simply tired, Lily." When she opened her mouth to argue, he clucked his tongue softly. "And before you ask, I have been to Madam Pomfrey, she agrees that it is nothing more than simple sleepiness. A pity, really, I could have used a vacation in the Hospital Wing from the Gryffindors."
Lily smacked his arm with a scowl as Scorpius laughed and steered the both of them in a different direction, their steps light and unhurried. Lily ruffled her hair in a gesture that was nerve-wrackingly similar to Albus. "It's those noisy Gryffindors who've taken you in, Score," she reprimanded softly, "Robbie's never said a bad word against you, you know. Cousins Fred and Teddy and Victoire and the others always defended you whenever the others got out of line. It was just James who was an ass."
Scorpius felt his mouth draw down in a grimace at the thought of James. The man was studying to become a Magical Creatures Professor in France, as Albus told him, and had yet to respond to his brother's letters on the abrupt occurrence of their relationship.
It was with that thought that Scorpius' mood rose and he smiled. Relationship. He and Albus were in a relationship. He had doubted it until that moment one week ago when Rose had turned around during breakfast and asked Albus to tell his boyfriend to pass the jam.
Scorpius had frowned for a moment, unsure of who she was speaking about and trying to still the vicious thrumming of his heart. That was, until Albus had laughed and pulled the blonde into a half-embrace, announcing that his boyfriend was no lackey, and for Rose to get her own jam.
Such a simple gesture, and yet it had made Scorpius' day. He had been in his element to the point where he had begun to thrill softly without realising it. It took Robbie's awed stare to force the inhuman noises to a stop.
"Hello? Anybody home?"
Scorpius snorted and pushed Lily gently. "Go on, the Gryffindors will be missing you," he said with a small smirk. Lily stared at him gently, her eyes worried. "You would tell me if something was wrong though, right?"
Scorpius raised his eyebrow. Lily rolled her eyes in response, a smile breaking over her features despite her attempt to hide it. "Go on, get back to wherever it is you're hiding out nowadays. I'll know myself if you're not right. But do be careful, Score. Those snakes have a nasty habit of striking without warning."
Scorpius grinned as he watched her retreat up a spiral staircase. "Should I be offended?"
Lily flung her hair over her shoulder. "You've never been a snake, Score."
