The waves crushed towards the shore. Their violent nature evodent in the uproar caused by them. The deathly chill that ran like ripples in the body of a 15 year old was impalpalable, more violent than those waves. The darksness of the cell was beginning to eat him alive, thus when the door to the cell opened he should feel a glimmer of hope but instead it was dread that filled his mind. The solemn expression on the face of the Auror was reason enough for him to believe that this ray was of the fire that would burn him alive. He was unwilling to even take a step but rough and harsh pushes -which made him almost fall- frenzy forced him travel through the long corridors. But what was this cold numb felling that traversed through his body? He couldn't point it but it felt that his life was being sucked out of him.The happy faces of his parents, his small family, the laughter of his mother were all becoming a fuzzy memory . His favourite potions, the proud look on the face of his teacher when he brewed something beyond his standard were all becoming hazzy. Standing there numb he couldn't move, couldn't run behind those memories, his peace was falling like a sand from his fist -the harder he clenched the harder it fell out of his reach. Then with a defeaning roar everything stopped. He was too numb to understand anything but he was sure he heard
'Expecto Patronus'

Scorpius was pissed. The old hag had the audacity to question him. He may be a very patient , respectful and understanding human but he was placed in Slythrine for some reasons though. And he was determined to show that old man those reasons. Determined, he made his way in the office premises sending eveyone into a frenzy. He entered his office building with his long coat flowing with the wind and his footsteps making the pulsating sound in the otherwise quiet place. The silence generated from the shock, terror and surprise of people who worked for him. His blood boiled at the prospect of suspecting anyone of his employees. For him they were a part of his extended family, who he trusted and respected too. Now for some wanker he has to eye every individual with suspicion, a habit that he had parted ways with so much difficulty.

His mind preoccupied with these thoughts didn't register the knocks on his cabin gate. When he finally came out of his melancholy he muttered a quiet 'coming in' allowing his assistant to enter. He had a  huge bundle in his hands while the other fees were being levitated by him. Smirking he said,
"Let's show that wrinkle head that who is the real boss here, Shall we Martin? "
Martin sighed listening to his boss but nodded nevertheless, knowing very well that this man would be making him pull an all nighter again. Giving a stink eye to Scorpious he also sat down and started going through all the files kept in front.
Scorpious laughed at the range of emotions that appeared on his face, from being sad, hopeless to finally being angry, his face displayed it all. Just to poke him one more time he asked, " Do you want to be somewhere else Martin? You okay there?"
Martin raised his head to look at him with a bored expression and raised his wabd to warn him to shut his trap and then went back to work. At this point Scorpious couldn't control the boisterous laughter thaat escaped his lips. He laughed more at the misery of his friend. After a log of warnjngs from Martin, he also found a confortable spot and started his work.

"Congratulations Mr. Malfoy how does it feel to reverse the table at the last moment?"
"How did you manage to change Mr. Ray's mind, Mr. Malfoy? "

"Oh the answer to all is very simple. By using the dark charm" replied Scorpious with the famous Malfoy smirk preseng on his face.
