Albus sat at the Ravenclaw table eating his breakfast. He kept his head down trying to avoid glares from Emily’s friends who had become almost vicious to him since they had split. Emily herself burst into tears every time he came into view. To make matters worse, Scorpius was in the hospital for reasons unknown. His life could not get much worse.
“Albus, you look like someone has just killed your puppy.” Rose said as she took a seat next to him. When he did not reply she added “He will be okay.”
Instantly Albus knew that “he” was Scorpius. “What? I don’t know what you mean by that.”
Rose gave him an inquiring look. “Scorpius, your best mate, he will be alright.”
“How do you know?” Albus asked sounding a little more desperate than he would have liked.
“Rita, this third year girl in Huffelpuff told me. Her mom is a healer and she was assigned to Scorpius.” Rose stated plainly. A prompting look from Albus however forced her to elaborate. “Well Rita and her mother both have a knack for gossiping, even when they should not, about things that are usually private biasness of others. Anyway Rita told me that… ah well…” Rose paused and bit her lip as she stared at the floor.
“What? What did she tell you Rose?” Albus asked forcing himself to remain calm.
“Well, apparently, from what her mother told her… Scorpius was raped over the break, he was hurt badly, and that’s why he went to the hospital.” She answered cautiously.
“Raped!?” He exclaimed as his heart dropped into his stomach. “By like a girl?”
“Well his um, insides, were all torn up, so probably not.” She answered gently.
Albus’ heart skipped a beat, and then another. Scorpius had been raped by another boy, not just raped, but brutally used. Tears began to build behind his eyes as he thought of the pain that Scorpius must have endured. “When did it happen?”
“No one knows for sure. One of the house elves who were cleaning up the dorms found him in the showers and told Madame Spats.” Rose said with a sad face as she took her cousins hand as a gesture of comfort. “But Al, don’t worry. He is being taken care of.”
“Don’t worry?” He scathed removing his hand from hers. “How am not supposed to worry!?”
“Al, I just…”
“I’m sorry Rose; I just want to be alone right now.” He said quietly as he got up and hurried out of the great hall, curious stares following him out the door.
Albus ran all the way to his dorm. Thankful that no one else was there as usual he immediately sat down on Scorpius’ bed. The knowledge that if he would have taken Scorpius home for break and not Emily would have prevented the horrible event, weighed heavily on his mind. The fact that he had not been there to protect him tore at his very soul. Albus lay his head down upon the others pillow. “I’m so sorry Scorpius…” Tears rolled down his face as he thought about Scorpius who had lain so peacefully in the same bed only few weeks earlier.
“I would have been better to you our first time.” The thought crept out before he could stop it. Almost instantly Albus was repulsed by it. Countless times he had imagined entering Scorpius, mused upon the idea of how soft the blond would feel beneath him as they made love. Now the very concept of sex being used to harm the person he loved most made such thoughts seem cruel and disturbing.
Albus was suddenly filled with an anger that he had never felt before. Who could have done this to Scorpius? Only Ravenclaws could have gotten into the dorm. But which of the boys had stayed for break? They would have to be one of the larger more capable to hold Scorpius against his will.
Albus sat up wiping the tears from his face. With a newfound energy he walked down the stairs and into the common room which was filled with a number of students. “Amul,” he said pulling aside a large older boy who he had become friends with over the year, “do you know which of the Ravenclaws stayed over Christmas break?”
“No I don’t. Sorry Albus.” He replied quickly. “But you can ask Adam, prefects always get a list of who stays. I think he is in the library studying.” Albus gave him a quick nod of thanks before running off toward the library.
Out of breath, Albus entered the library. Walking through the shelves it took him only about three minutes before he spotted Adam sitting at a table with several books lying open before him. “Adam!” He said gasping when he reached the table.
The brown haired boy gave a jolt, apparently startled, and looked up from the parchment he had been reading. “Potter.” He stated regaining his composure.
“Amul said you have a list of the Ravenclaws who stayed over break.” He said quickly between a gasps of air.
“Yes, what about it?” he replied looking at Albus with one eyebrow lifted as if he were a beggar asking for money.
“Can I see it?”
“Well I suppose there would be no harm in giving it to you. It’s not like its important anymore.” Adam reached to the ground beside him where his bag was and began to rummage through the papers inside.
“Adam!” Came a voice from behind them. Both turned around to find David leaning against one of the shelves. “Are you coming with me to the potions lab or not?”
“David!” Adam replied as his face turned red. The boy ceased looking though his bag and instead began shoving his books into it. “Sorry, I lost track of time.”
“Adam, can I have the…” Albus began to plead.
“Sorry Albus.” He replied hastily as he swung the bag over his shoulder. “You know what, if I find it I will get it to you.” He added as he walked off with David who was wearing an extremely smug look.
Once they were gone Albus sat down at the table where Adam had been seated. He dropped his elbows onto the table and hung his head to rest in his hands. Frustration swept though him. What was he supposed to do now? Albus sat in silence for a while simply thinking.
Running a hand through his hair he quickly glanced up at the table. A small piece of parchment remained. Adam had obviously forgotten it in his haste. Reaching over and pulling the slip toward him he began to read:
You had a go with Malfoy, why won’t you give me a chance too? At least I won’t cry about it after.
Underneath in different handwriting was written:
Fine, if you want it that bad. Meet me in the lowest level potions lab at noon. There is no class there until after dinner. Don’t be late, I hate waiting.
Albus felt as if he had just received a blow to the head. “a go with Malfoy?”It had been David all along. Looking back it only made more sense. Scorpius would disappear with David for an hour or so, only to return looking as if his spirit had been broken. But they had become “friends” months ago, how long had David been abusing Scorpius, and for what reason?
Albus was not sure how he would find the answers, but he was definitely going to try.
