Chapter Three:

"Sixth years, can you believe it? We are one year away from ruling this school."

Scorpius snorted into the book he was reading, his long hair falling and hiding his face from view. "and what, exactly, would you change, O mighty ruler?"

Albus pushed the blonde backwards into the grass and smoothed back his messy black hair, green eyes dark. "For one thing," he said, completely serious, "I'd expel the bastards who keep pushing you around."

"Like you?"

"Shut up, Score."

Rose smacked the sixteen-year-old on the head and put her hands over Lily's ears. "Language!" she scowled, "impressionable minds are listening!"

"yes, Mum," Albus muttered, glaring darkly at a snickering Scorpius who lounged back on his elbows.

"Pfft," the blonde's tone was dismissive, "as if those people matter, Albus."

Rose gazed curiously out into the lake before pinning her eyes on the blonde. "Who does matter then?" The red head grinned at the wiry male.

She shrieked as Scorpius grasped her hand and tugged her close, "why, you, of course, you beautiful example of womantry." He dove for her mouth as though to kiss her and Rose growled and smacked him hard on the shoulder before pulling away and shaking her head.

Lily laughed outright at the display and Scorpius grinned as he leaned back once more, face tilted as if to catch the sun. "Ah, don't be sad, sweet Rose, you do matter." Her response was to stick out her tongue like a child and Scorpius smiled back lazily. "All of you do."

Albus puffed his chest out like some romantic hero at the statement and both girls dissolved into giggles at the ridiculous sight. Laughing along with them, Albus stopped when he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He turned and caught the glare his brother was sending in his direction.

James sat some distance away, surrounded by a group of chattering friends. Albus sighed and looked away. The physical distance between the siblings now was a near perfect metaphor for their tenuous relationship. Truly, Albus believed that it was only a matter of time before the elder Potter boy snapped.

Scorpius groaned as he rose from his seat in the library. The chairs were stiff and uncomfortable and he twisted his body in an effort to loosen the tight muscles. He adored the library, but McGonegal really needed to invest in new chairs.

He cradled a book to his chest as he left the room, brushing an imaginary piece of dust from its cover. Books were a treasure in the blonde's eyes, something he would undoubtedly be lost without. He blinked wearily at the increasing shadows which signalled the arrival of night as he made his way to the Slytherin dorms. His blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail and whipped lightly against his back as he hurried his footsteps.

He rounded a corner and an arm emerged, dragging him into a secluded alcove. His yelp of surprise was cut off abruptly by a hand placed over his mouth. Frightened and panicked, Scorpius blinked into the darkness. His eyes slowly made out the scowling face of James Potter, whose blue eyes were narrowed in distaste.

The blonde felt his stomach sink like a lead weight. James stared down at him in obvious mistrust, a sneer plastered across his normally handsome features.

"I don't know what your game is, Malfoy, but I want you away from my family."

The threat was hissed and Scorpius felt his panic rise. His nausea at being touched was fast outrunning his fear and he pulled his face back. "You're doing this now?" The blonde hissed incredulously, "all the years I've spent with your family and you warn me away now? When we're nearly finished?"

James smirked and pushed the smaller boy against the wall. "I don't mind Al playing nursemaid to the school outcasts, but he's growing up now. His future choices can't be influenced by the likes of you."

Scorpius' heart sank and he gaped up at the elder Potter in disbelief. "You can't be serious?"

James' response was a low growl. "Not serious?" he spat, "we'll see how serious I am when I tell Al and the wizarding world little Scorpius Malfoy is a bloody poofter." Scorpius gasped as though he'd been struck, his mouth going slack.

James chuckled nastily. "Oh yeah," he said, "I know, Malfoy. I've seen you pant after my baby brother, though he's too straight to notice. As if he'd fall for the likes of you. Even if he was gay, as if he'd settle for a Malfoy when he can have his pick of anyone."

Scorpius felt his eyes begin to heat as James' words struck true. Of course he knew Albus would never love him back. Of course he would have to watch his best friend bond with someone else.

"I know!" Scorpius shrieked, pushing the taller boy away from him and clutching his chest as his heart begin to crack. "I know."

James nodded curtly, blue eyes somewhat guilty. "Good." He announced, "so end this... farce and leave my brother in peace."

Scorpius stood in the same spot for many hours after James had left. When his feet grew tired, he merely slipped down to sit on the floor, eyes staring vacantly into space. His cheeks remained dry, though his eyes prickled with unshed tears. His hand, cold now, clutched at his chest, certain that his heart would never beat the same way again.

"Hey Score!"

Scorpius tensed, forcing his feet onwards and feigning ignorance.

"Score! Wait up!"

The blonde hurried as the voice grew closer and was forced to stop abruptly as Albus rushed in front of him, cheeks flushed. Breathing deeply, the dark-haired boy held up a finger as he regained his breath, eyes bright. It was a cruel sight, and one that Scorpius had grown too fond of.

"What's up, Score? You've been avoiding me for days." Those green eyes were filled with only concern and Albus' arms, wiry with the slender muscles of a Chaser, tensed as if to reach forward.

When Scorpius found courage enough to look up, his mask was firmly in place, sneer unbroken. "I've merely come to my senses." Scorpius sniffed and glared at his friend, his best friend. "The like of you and I cannot mix, Potter, nor do I wish they would. I am far better off alone, without the influence of half-bloods such as you and your family."

Internally, Scorpius wept as Albus' eyes became dark and his mouth twisted. The Gryffindor took off in a flurry of crackling magic and robes. Outside, Scorpius' mask remained in place, uncaring, unfeeling, untouched.
