Chapter-3
Marcus Tom Marvolo Riddle
Scorpius had thought that perhaps Albus was not serious about moving on. He had thought that it was just a temporary phase which will pass away with Albus's anger. He had been so wrong. Albus was dead serious which was proven by the arrival of an unexpected guest the following day.
He was studying near the fireplace or he was at least attempting to study. Albus was sitting on the dining, studying. Father was in his potions lab and Mr. Potter was in his study, working on his book. He glanced every now and then in the green eyed boy's direction to check if Albus was paying any attention to him at all. Alas! How wrong he was.
Albus was concentrating on his potions booklet of fifth year and he was paying no attention to Scorpius. Scorpius was irritated but he still did not understand his fault. He had fucked around. So what?
A sudden knock on the front door jarred him from his thoughts Before he could attempt to get up, Albus stood up to open the door. Several minutes passed and Albus had still not returned with the visitor so he finally got up to enquire.
"Alllllbussss." A red head was speaking and Scorpius cringed. It had to be a Weasley, with hair that red.
"Knock. Knock Albus. Is this the way you greet your guests?" The red head beamed at Albus.
Albus's attention was on the other boy though. The boy had startling red eyes and a very enigmatic smile. He was tall and was wearing dark green robes over simple shirt and trousers and the boy was smiling at Albus, who was staring fixedly at him.
Scorpius stuck his hands in his trouser pockets and asked Albus coolly "What are you looking at Albus? What is taking so much time?" He was anything but cool when he noticed Albus's eyes. Albus was positively smitten by the boy who was still smiling at Albus. His lips were red and something burned inside Scorpius when Albus jerked into consciousness again and spoke softly, addressing him "None of your business." It was not the sentence that angered Scorpius. It was the way Albus shook the boy's extended hands that lit a fire inside him, a fire that he did not know how to extinguish.
Nevertheless, he breathed and composed himself and walked towards their visitors. Only when he reached them, did he look at the red head and the strange red eyed boy.
"And who might you be? I have never met you before?" He asked in a sharp voice.
The red eyed boy looked at him and then back at Albus who was staring at the ceiling and then grinned at him. The grin was not at all friendly and when he looked back at Albus, their was a trace of lust in his red eyes which was like coal to the fire inside Scorpius.
"Hello, I am Hugo Weasley and this is-" The red head looked at him and replied cheerfully, beaming at him.
"I am Marcus. Marcus Tom Marvolo Riddle." The red eyed man grinned at him and his eyes were literally mocking him when they trailed through Albus's chest and down to his trousers and back to his chest and lips. Scorpius wanted to slap the boy and stand in front his oblivious veela who busy wallowing in his jealousy and was turning a blind eye to everything in front of Scorpius's supposed infidelity.
"Scorpius Malfoy." Riddle pulled his extended hand back when Scorpius did not shake it. The boy might be able to fool Albus but Scorpius was still alive and he would let no one manipulate Albus, no one at all.
Little did he know that he would have no choice in the matter.
"Well, Al, are you not going to invite your long lost brother in?" Hugo mocked and grinned brightly at Albus who shook his head in amusement.
"Come in, you. I will bring some refreshments." Albus spoke and retired to the kitchen.
Scorpius directed his guests gracefully towards the sitting room and murmured "Please have a seat. I will help Albus and then call father and Mr. Potter."
"Thank you." Riddle spoke and his voice was so intoxicating that Scorpius could just stare at his red lips. Of course, Albus would be attracted to the boy. But Scorpius knew better. He saw the way the boy leaned back and threw his right ankle on his left knee and smiled challengingly at him. The red head was oblivious to all this. He just looked around the home in awe.
Scorpius tilted his face and smiled right back at the boy. His eyes might have told Riddle that he had expected the supposed unspoken challenge but it was not a challenge or a game to Scorpius. He was very worried for Albus who was angry and hurt and sad right now which made him vulnerable.
He abruptly turned and walked towards the kitchen where Albus was pouring juices in glasses and serving some snacks.
"He is going to manipulate you, Albus. You must stay away from him." He leaned against the wall and followed Albus's movements. He picked up a jar from the drawer and spoke softly "When I did not have any right to stop you from fucking your mates, why should you have a right to order me around?"
"I am not ordering you around. I am looking out for you. You are not thinking properly, Albus. He will manipulate you. He is strange and has red eyes and he was mocking and challenging me silently." Scorpius confessed and when Albus picked up the tray and looked at him, the pain and sadness was as clear as day on his face.
"So, it is just a game to you now. A challenge that you must accept and win at all costs. I will not be a game to play with and I will most certainly not be ordered around by you. I am not a child and can look out for myself. Mind your own business."
Scorpius couldn't take it anymore. He pulled away from the wall and took the trays from his hands and placed them on the table. Then he closed the door.
"If you lay a finger on me-"
But Scorpius just walked forward and hugged the boy close to him. Merlin, it felt so good. It felt like coming home and it was everything that Scorpius wanted and had lost.
"Get off." Albus struggled weakly and tried to push him away but Scorpius did not let go. This might be the last chance he had to embrace Albus, at least for a long time ahead and he did not want to lose it.
"Listen." He spoke softly and Albus still tried to push him away "No. Go away. I hate you." Scorpius closed his eyes when he heard these words and he did not know why they just boiled his blood.
"No listen to me. Whatever might happen, I am always with you. No matter what. It does not matter how embarrassing it is or how painful. Just come to me and I will help you. I do not want to see you hurt. So, when it becomes too much to handle, just come to me and I will help you." It took a lot of strength to speak these words because Scorpius was an introvert person.
"I won't sleep with you." Albus had stopped struggling and stood limply in his arms.
"You don't have to. I know your anger will not allow you to forgive me yet but if you are in trouble, any kind of trouble, just run away and come to me and I will never abandon you. Okay."
Albus did not reply and Scorpius pressed in a soft voice "I said, okay?"
"Okay. Now let me go." Albus snapped at him or tried to because he eyes gave his pain away. Scorpius had never seen another man who wore his heart on his sleeves, except perhaps Albus's father.
Albus picked up the tray and glanced at him with his betrayed and pained eyes and then left and Scorpius stared at ceiling, praying the heavens above to help him.

Albus served the drinks and settled down, avoiding the enigmatic red eyed boy at all costs. The boy was too attractive and Albus did not want to be manipulated at any cost. But he had to look up when Hugo asked him brightly.
"Well, Albus, what are you upto these days?"
Albus cleared his throat, keeping his eyes away from the boy and looked at Hugo with false cheerfulness "Fifth year is commencing in a week and, well that's it. What about you?"
"We dropped out of Beauxbattens. We wanted to continue our schooling in Hogwarts, you see." The reply had arrived from Marcus's mouth and Albus couldn't avoid the confrontation this time. He stared and stared and just stared. How could a person be so attractive. he had a brilliant smile and fair complexion and jet black hair, red eyes and red luscious lips which just begged to be bit and kissed. The boy was sex on legs and all Albus could do was stare. As attractive as he was, Albus could still not bring himself to ask the boy on a date.
Well, duh, silly boy, you have just met him.
Someone cleared his throat and he felt a hand land protectively on his shoulders. That was when he noticed that dad and Mr. Malfoy had arrived. Mr. Malfoy was standing behind him, his hands on Albus's shoulders and when he looked at Mr. Malfoy, he merely smiled sweetly and blinked at him.
Dad, though was completely another story.
He stood beside Albus, his hand crossed and his eyes, fixed menacingly on a very composed Marcus. Dad was angry. He was so angry that his body was trembling and the bowls and glasses started shaking from the effect of his anger.
Albus had only heard that dad was the most powerful wizard after Albus Dumbledore and he got a living evidence of this when the glasses burst and the broken piece landed on Marcus's cheek. It was only Hugo's quick reflexes that prevented the cheek from being cut by the piece of glass.
"Uncle Harry, stop." Hugo yelled in fright.
"Mr. Potter." Scorpius called worriedly from somewhere beside him and Albus turned his face to look at Scorpius's reaction. The boy was positively fuming at Marcus.
He attempted to speak "Dad-" and stopped mid sentence when he felt a squeeze on his shoulders. He looked up and Mr. Malfoy shook his head and mouthed him to remain silent.
"Uncle Harry, what's the matter?" Hugo exclaimed when another glass shattered and the pieces spread all over the room. Dad's attention shifted towards Hugo who had turned completely white.
Dad looked deep into Hugo's eyes, searching for something, and Hugo stared back silently. Dad did not speak anything at all. Suddenly, Hugo blinked and shook his head, as if just waking up from a deep sleep and his demeanour changed from utterly cheerful to confused.
"Hugo, back off and stand behind me." Dad barked and glared menacingly at Marcus. The floo closed and the doors locked and Albus looked all around as Hugo mumbled "yes Uncle Harry" and hurried towards Albus. Something flashed in Marcus's eyes when Hugo came towards their side but Albus chose to ignore it in the face of dad's anger.
The flash lasted for only a few seconds, after which a soft, innocent smile grazed his face and he looked at dad. It seemed that dad's anger did not effect him at all, which was strange because almost everyone he had met was scared of dad's anger.
"What's the matter, Mr. Potter?" Scorpius enquired curiously and somewhat cautiously.
"Quiet, Scorpius. Do not speak unless I ask you to and back off. Stand behind Draco and do not move in any circumstances." All the while, dad's eyes glared mercilessly at Marcus whose soft gaze was confident and unwavering.
"Who are you? Tell me the truth." Dad had his wand out and pointed towards Marcus now and Albus decided to intervene.
"Dad-"
"Albus, Quiet." Dad ordered him, without giving as much as a look to him and Mr. Malfoy whispered in his ears "Let him talk."
"Who are you, boy? Speak up." Dad growled and that was when Marcus moved. Till that moment Albus had not even realized that Marcus had not moved or spoken at all.
Marcus stood up gracefully and extended his hand towards dad but not before giving a brilliant smile to Albus which Albus returned back of course. He could feel the anger emanating from Scorpius and it brought a gleeful satisfaction in him.
Serves him right. Disloyal Bastard.
Marcus's next words froze his thoughts and his dad's strange behaviour suddenly made sense to him now.
"Hello, Mr. Potter. I am Marcus Tom Marvolo Riddle. Heir to Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known by the name Lord Voldemort.
