Chapter-2
Hard Decisions
Loud shouts and screams disturbed Harry's peaceful sleep and he huffed in annoyance and turned towards Draco who was looking tiredly at him.
Harry turned his body towards Draco who was staring at the ceiling,
"Merlin, Draco, your son-"
Draco glared at him furiously and snapped "My son. Christ, Harry. Earlier it was, 'Draco your father' and now it is 'Draco your son'. Will you stop blaming me for my family's mistakes. It's not my mistake if Scorpius has chosen to fornicate with everything on two legs, which was clearly obvious by Albus's words. Just stop blaming me for it."
Suddenly Harry felt laughter bubble in his throat and he started laughing. Draco glared at him again "Why are you laughing at me?"
"I am not laughing at you. You are just so cute sometimes." Harry laughed and kissed his nose and Draco glared at him weakly "I am not cute."
"You so are." Harry replied and captured Draco's lips by his own and Draco hugged him back. Soon he found himself being pulled in Harry's tight embrace and complied.
"Sentimental much." He rested his head on Harry's chest and Harry placed his head on Draco's.
"I love you. I am really lucky to have gotten you."
"I love you too, dear husband." Draco kissed his chest and they were silent for a few seconds. Draco was the one who broke the silence "What are you thinking?"
Harry sighed and replied "I am really worried about Albus. Payback is a bitch, isn't it? Perhaps destiny is punishing me for torturing you."
Draco traced Harry's chest with his fingers, lost in his thoughts "Bygones are bygones. I have forgiven you and you should forgive yourself too."
Harry sighed sadly "I did hurt you a lot, didn't I?"
"Forget the past, Harry. Move on." Draco looked into sad green eyes of Harry and kissed his lips softly.
"You have a heart of gold, Draco. I am really lucky." He whispered and stroke Draco's soft hair.
They fell silent again and this time it was Harry who broke the silence.
"Say, Draco. Are you sleeping?" He whispered in a sleepy voice.
"Sleeping..." Draco replied back.
"I really do love you."
"Me too."
"Night.
"Night." Draco yawned before answering and falling asleep on his husband's chest.

Morning found Albus in the dining room, having a cup of strong coffee to alleviate his headache. He was fed up of pubs and pub fights and anger and everything that came with dating Scorpius Malfoy. He had made a decision to turn over a new leaf. Yes it would be hard but it was necessary.
Someone cleared his throat and he looked up to find his father staring at him with crossed arms behind a chair across from him. He lowered his eyes into cup.
"I-" Albus cleared his throat before continuing "I am sorry for yesterday. I embarrassed you-"
"Oh! Don't worry. I have embarrassed myself enough in my past. You don't have to worry about that." Dad started and continued looking at him with furious eyes.
"I have made a decision-" Albus replied in a soft and apologetic voice and dad cut him off "To destroy all the pubs of Britain."
"To move on."
Dad stared at him and so did Mr. Malfoy and Scorpius who had been approaching the dining table slowly.
"What do you mean by moving on, Mr. Potter?" Mr. Malfoy asked when he settled down on a chair "Sit down, Harry." Dad sat down beside his husband and continued staring at him.
Scorpius was about to sit beside him but Albus stopped him "Don't sit beside me. I will shift to another chair if you-"
Scorpius blinked and stared and then whispered after composing his face "It's fine." and then walked towards another empty chair.
"What did you mean by moving on, Albus?" Dad enquired and he looked at him.
"Dad, I can't do this anymore. I really hate drinking and smoking and I have to move on from Scorpius if I want a modicum of peace." He replied and continued after a deep breath "I am going to start dating."
Scorpius's eyes bore into his face and he did not have to look at the boy to know that. Albus had not wanted to move on. He had wanted to get over Scorpius's infidelity but he just couldn't forget what he had witnessed.
"Date. As in?" Mr. Malfoy asked and Albus sighed "Mathews Thomas wanted to go out with me. I refused, of course. I was already-" Albus stopped speaking and stared at his cup to get past the lump in his throat "-spoken for. I told him that I am already committed. Now, it's not so, so yeah, I am going to accept his invitation. Headmaster Dumbledore has held a ball within a week of commencement of school. He had wanted to go with me and I will say yes. I had refused earlier because I had wanted to go with Scorpius but now, he already has a list of boys and girls to chose from."
Albus stopped and closed his eyes and then breathed hard to stop the sudden onslaught of tears in his eyes. He had screamed and fought and drunk to get over Scorpius's betrayal. He had fucked a couple of blokes but nothing seemed to reduce the pain. The anger had vanished and pain had replaced it. Albus wasn't angry any more. He couldn't bear to look at Scorpius anymore. He couldn't breath without feeling the lump in his throat anymore.
His eyes opened when he felt someone's arms wrap around him and having expected his dad, he whispered "dad, I-" but his dad was sitting across from him, looking very worried for him. He did not know Scorpius's reaction at all. The boy was quiet and he couldn't look at the blonde without tears in his eyes.
"It's okay, Albus. I am sorry for my son's betrayal." Albus hugged Mr. Malfoy back and buried his burning face in his jacket. Mr. Malfoy rubbed soothing circles on his back and he breathed hard to control himself. After a couple of minutes, he breathed and cleared his throat "Thank you, sir. I am fine now."
Mr. Malfoy nodded and Albus looked at his dad who was staring at him with concerned eyes "Are you sure?" and Albus nodded, taking the last sip of his coffee and then stood up "I will serve breakfast."
"I can help." Scorpius finally spoke and Albus closed his eyes. He was not ready to talk to the blonde at all.
"No. I do not need any help. Porridge and toast are ready and fruits are already cut. I can manage myself. I do not need anyone's help." Albus spoke softly and hurried to the kitchen.
Ten minutes later found him having breakfast silently. Of course, Scorpius had to disturb the peace of his mind.
"How can you just move on?" The boy asked in a low voice and Albus kept his head bent on his plate.
"The way you did by fucking the entire slytherin population behind my back." He replied and noticed that dad and Mr. Malfoy were completely silent.
"I was not committed to you. I did not betray you." Scorpius murmured and this time, Albus looked at the blonde, trying to find any kind of guilt and when he found none, he returned his eyes towards his own plate.
"Now you don't need to commit to me. The veela bond is broken and you don't need to live with me. You can fuck as many people as you want." He replied.
"I have apologized countless times." Scorpius started and Albus stayed stubbornly quiet. "You are exaggerating the whole thing. I don't feel anything for them."
"Albus." Scorpius tried again and when Albus remained stubbornly quiet, he tried again "Get over it already."
But Albus did not respond. He was so bloody tired of fighting and breaking things and fucking around and just pointless noise.
"CHRIST." Scorpius shouted in annoyance and Mr. Malfoy spoke sharply "Have your breakfast silently and leave Albus alone, Scorpius."
After clearing his throat, Mr. Malfoy turned towards Albus "Albus, don't stop yourself from inviting your date to supper with us, just because Scorpius is my son. We are your family and you have a right to invite friends to supper if you want. I hope you understand that I have no grudge against you at all."
Albus looked at Mr. Malfoy and smiled "Thank you, sir." and after a few seconds, he muttered "Scorpius is nothing like you."
To his surprise, dad chuckled and then cleared his throat to hide it and Mr. Malfoy covered his mouth.
"Why are you laughing?" Albus asked, a small smile grazing his face, ignoring the furious blonde completely.
"Well, you see, he is more like my father than me." Mr. Malfoy snickered before turning to his newspaper but dad couldn't stop his chuckles.
"Father, this is so unfair." Scorpius started "You are not trying to make him understand. I want to pursue a relationship with him."
Albus concentrated on his breakfast waiting for Mr. Malfoy to support his son.
"This world does not revolve around you, dearest son just like it did not revolve around my father. He paid for his sins and you will pay for your mistakes. Eat your breakfast quietly and do your homework after that. Keep away from Albus's way."
"Are you not being hard on him, Draco?"
Albus was surprised when he heard dad ask this question. Scorpius's face mirrored his expression. Of course it did. None of them had expected dad to support Scorpius, though by the way Mr. Malfoy clucked his tongue in annoyance, he did not look surprised at all.
"No." He replied and then stood up after addressing dad "I need to speak to you Harry. I will wait in our room."
"Okay." Dad replied and drank the last of his juice.
Albus looked at his dad "I have decided to owl Mathews. Their is no point of staying at home when I am just going to wallow in misery." and then ducked his head.
"Okay. Just take care. Good day." Dad replied and stood up. Albus knew that his father disapproved his decision and his face fell but then he felt his father's familiar warm arms around him "I am always with you. Don't worry.", he closed his eyes, relieved, that dad supported him.
"Thank you."
Dad left and Scorpius cleared his throat and Albus realised with a jerk that Scorpius was still present in the room.
"Albus, you can't just give up." Albus just shrugged and chose to stay quiet.
"Say something at least."
"I have spoken a lot of things and nothing seems to work. It's not like you have stopped fantasising about your past fucks." Albus muttered and Scorpius spoke sharply "I am not fucking anyone-"
"Look, Scorpius, I don't want to fight with you." Albus breathed deeply because the lump made an appearance again in his throat. "I would rather cherish our sweeter memories than remember these bad ones. Please leave me be." Albus replied and got up and if his voice shook at the end and a lone tear fell from his eyes as he left the room, he couldn't really be blamed for it. Because even if Scorpius did not love him, he did. He loved Scorpius with everything he had and had cherished the moments he had spent with the blonde. He would rather not pollute his memories by fighting any more.
