Chapter Eight:
Draco dropped his face to his hands, a groan building somewhere in his chest and only barely audible to his wife, who huffed in amusement.
"I would not go to assume that it was your sexuality that caused this, Albus," she told the dark haired boy with a smirk, swiping her skirt beneath her as she sat primly on one of the hard-backed chairs. "It is Scorpius' sexuality which determines his mate. What with there being only female Veela, all of whom attract males, it was easy to assume that Scorpius would attract females. His human nature seems to have affected his Veela's consideration in a mate."
The Headmistress was nodding as she listened to the logical explanation, her amused eyes never leaving Albus' pale face. Draco groaned again and Albus threw a glare in his direction. He wasn't that bad a candidate!
"My apologies if this grieves you, mister Malfoy," the Gryffindor sneered, "But I'm not going to leave Scorpius now that I know what I am to him."
The platinum haired Scorpius snapped his head up from where he had been gazing at the floor, his heart swelling as his eyes met Albus' lazy smile and bright green stare. A purr broke from his chest, spilling over his lips as his eyes became heated.
The scent from his dreams enveloped Albus, floral and sweet and strong and musky. The Gryffindor closed his eyes, all but leaning into it, only for a cough to bring him back to reality. His eyes snapped open and he flushed brightly at the stares the three adults were aiming in his direction. Draco turned his glare on his son, hands crossing his arms in a manner terrifyingly familiar to Scorpius' actions when mad.
The Veela bowed his head with a mumbled 'sorry' and the elder Malfoy sighed. "I will arrange for Miss Fleur to be here as soon as possible if she agrees to tutor you," he spoke with a tone of finality and Astoria rose from her seat, causing Albus and Scorpius to do the same.
"For now, get some rest. You're in for an interesting tomorrow. And you also, Potter, I'll be sending your father an owl tonight." Albus paled somewhat but nodded slowly. Draco was ushering them out when he halted and threw a cautious look over his shoulder at his wife.
"I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell my father?"
When she merely snorted he rounded his shoulders in defeat. "Thought so."

"Hello? Earth to Rosie?"
"Shut up a minute I'm taking it in."
Rose held up one stern finger, a small frown line between her eyes as she thought over everything Albus had just revealed to her.
"You're his mate?"
Albus rolled his eyes, glancing in the Slytherin table and trying not to feel disappointed when he noticed a lack of platinum hair. "That's what I said, what everyone said. They reckon he fancied me before hand."
His smile was unacceptably wide, he knew, making him look like a loved-up fool, but he couldn't help it. If he had known Scorpius had felt that way he'd have jumped the shy little Slytherin in the hallways years ago.
Rose chuckled and threw a grape at him, smiling when he scowled. "An interesting turn of events… I thought he would attract females regardless of sexuality. Veela are logical creatures, they tend to go for the person who would be a good gene carrier. I mean, look at our cousin Dominique, she's fairly certain she swings the female way yet she always attracts men and only the occasional… eh… less than feminine looking female."
Albus snorted in amusement, his shoulders lifting in a shrug. "I've no idea, Rose. There's never been a male Veela so I guess maybe Scorpius' Veela is a female. When you think of it like that, it kind of makes sense that it would attract a man."
Rose shook her head, stabbing a sausage with her fork as the owls began to arrive overhead. "No likely, Al. Scorpius is male, it's only logical his Veela is too. Be careful of that."
Albus was about to reply when a large bespeckled white owl landed in front of him, dropping a letter into his lap. He picked it up with a look of horror, his mouth gaping. Rose saw it and her fork clattered to her plate, allowing her hand to rise to her mouth and stifle the bout of laughter welling there.
He had been sent a howler.
Albus cast it down on the table, petrified. Not once in his lifetime at Hogwarts had he ever been given a howler, that was James' thing! Not his! The envelope began to smoke, causing a well of alarm to build in Albus until the red paper exploded into action.
"ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER!
HOW DARE YOU NOT MENTION THIS TO ME SOONER! HOW DARE YOU ALLOW ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU AND SCORPIUS MALFOY WERE ONLY JUST FRIENDS ALL THOSE YEARS! THAT POOR BOY HAS NEVER BEEN INVITED TO OUR HOME NOR ALLOWED TO BE A PART OF THE FAMILY ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO STUBBORN TO TELL YOUR PARENTS YOUR TRUE FEELINGS! TO HEAR WHAT HAD HAPPENED FROM DRACO MALFOY OF ALL PEOPLE! AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE THE OTHER DAY! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE SCHOOL GROUNDS AND YOU TOO ROSE! YOUR MOTHER IS ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS. YOU HAD BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION ALBUS BECAUSE YOUR FATHER AND I WILL BE SEEING YOU TODAY.
All our love, Mum and Dad."
"You psycho!" Albus yelled at the paper as it ripped itself to pieces, only causing the fitful laughter of his friends and the other tables to double. He blushed hotly and scowled at Rose. "I'm blaming you for the second bit."
"You left school grounds?"
Albus yelped and spun to look at the person that had spoken. Scorpius had settled down beside him, his eyes curious as he gazed up at Albus and twisted a strawberry around in one hand. "Er…"
Rose rolled her eyes, leaning over the table to wink at Scorpius. "We went to see Aunt Fleur, Score. So she could tell us all about Veela. I also know she's agreed to be your tutor, you'll love her… As long as you don't get her angry, that is."
Albus watched the pale Slytherin nod and take a bite from his fruit. The Gryffindors threw him odd glances but otherwise ignored him, as did the Professors and everyone else, apart from his own table. It was as though Slytherins sat at the Gryffindor table every day, which was certainly not the case.
"Am… Any particular reason why you're at this table, Score?" Albus asked with a laugh, downing his pumpkin juice in two loud gulps. Scorpius smiled softly, "I don't feel right away from you. It feels as though my skin is crawling. Is this okay?"
Scorpius' face became wary, as if expecting to be told off and Albus could do little but smile back at him. "Of course it is."
"Hey, Scorpius?" The pale boy jumped at being addressed by someone other than the Weasley Potter duo. He spun around to meet the brown-eyed gaze of a freckled seventh-year. The boy grinned at the Slytherin, a thing that only enhanced Scorpius' nerves. "You alright, Malfoy? You gave the lot of us some scare last night."
When Scorpius seemed to freeze, his mouth open slightly, Albus touched his shoulder, sending a spark of heat down his arm. "he's alright, Robbie, thanks for asking. Hey, what did you think of the essay Slughorn assigned us the other day?"
When the Gryffindor, who Scorpius could now identify as Robbie Finnegan, began to prattle on, Rose joining him in occaision, Scorpius felt Albus lean down slowly and whisper lightly in his ear, words only he could hear.
"Not everyone is your enemy Score. You'll be okay now."
