Possessed by Love

Can We Have A Happy Ending?

Albus POV

Scorpius had been asleep all day and most of the night; I still hadn't slept one bit. No change if I'm honest, I never get to sleep. I'm pretty sure I have insomnia.

When I finally decided to get my ass out of bed the next morning I was pleasantly surprised by an awake and happy-ish Scorpius.

"Hey Al." He smirked. I loved his cute little smirk so much. "Hey Scorp." I replied.

"God there's so much I want to say to you Al, I just don't know where to start." He blushed, taking my hand.

"You don't need to explain yourself. Just tell me you love me." I squeezed his hand gently.

"I love you, Al. I love you with all my heart and I never want to leave you again. I'm so sorry Al, I couldn't tell you the plan because I needed it to go right so I could save you all. I didn't care if I died, and I didn't think about what the rest of you would think. I'm so, so sorry."

He sobbed, letting go of my hand and bringing his hands up to his eyes. Tears seeped through the fine gaps in his fingers; I tucked my arms underneath his and hugged him.

I finally understood what was going on; no one understood what he was going through. It must feel horrible to know that you were dead and that it made everyone you loved miserable.

I held him until my arms went numb; he cried until his eyes were starved of tears. I loved him so, so much and I never wanted to let him go.

Scorpius POV

As I clung onto Albus like a squirrel to a nut, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I didn't move; I wouldn't cause any more trouble.

She never left. She never left and I knew it. My stomach turned at the thought - I couldn't deny it. The feeling of her taking over began to rise again, but I was drained.

I didn't even try fighting back - she was so much stronger than me, and I was so tired of everything I started to want her to win. At least I wouldn't be able to fuck anything up.

My soul sank into the pits of my body, I knew there was no going back now. I was done with fighting; all it did was hurt other people.

I made a promise to myself before I was fully gone - no more putting myself before other people. I thought before that by doing what I did I would help them; but it was completely the opposite.

I would never do anything without running it past someone who hasn't fucked up their life first. I probably wouldn't do anything again.

The pain was becoming too unbearable to handle - I let out a shriek of pain. My breathing grew shakier by the second, the tips of my fingers beginning to go numb.

"Scorpius? What's going on?" Albus freaked, he grabbed my left hand. I couldn't respond - my lips were tight and dry. He shook me, trying to get an answer. I couldn't.

Delphi POV

I could feel it. I was finally emerging from this dark hellhole. He was letting me win, I could tell. He truly had given up.

At last, I was out. My vision was slightly blurry but it was manageable. I could see the boy that Scorpius was friends - well, boyfriends according to new-found knowledge - with, Albus; he looked worried about him.

I had to keep his character playing, I wanted Albus to think he was still in there a little bit longer.

Just then, Draco burst through the archway and into the room. He brushed my - Scorpius' - hair out of my face. "Is she back?" This was the perfect time. I mean, gotta make my entrance dramatic, right? That's the whole point of my existence.

I stopped everything; the shaking, the shouting and the screaming. My gaze fell upon Albus; his eyes were glossy with tears. He knew his boyfriend was gone.

Draco on the other hand still thought his son was there; stupid mistake. "Scorpius?" Draco sort of whispered. Dramatic entrance time.

I started to laugh, the femininity in my voice clearly noticeable. His face dropped in the sudden realisation that there was nothing left of his sweet, sweet boy.

"Miss me?" Now the real fun would begin.
