My Slytherin Boys

Chapter 5

Exploring with Scorp and Al was... interesting. First we had to go outside, because that's "where all the cool stuff is, like gigantic squids and killer trees!" (What is a killer tree? Well I guess Al is just sorta out of it).

They had to run also, I don't mind running, I mean, I do have older brothers, but goodness gracious, we ran a lot in that first week. We ran to the lake where we avoided a bunch of Hufflepuffs (who wants to talk to them anyway?), laughed at a few Gryffindor girls and ended up lying under a tree a ways away from the lake and the school.

"Hey," Scorp says, sitting up with a stupid grin spread over his face, "guess what?"

"What?" Al and I ask, Scorp may be weird, but he has some pretty cool ideas.

"So, you have a brother in Gryffindor, right?" Scorp asks Al, who nods. "Okay," Scorp nods and then turns on me: "and you have a brother in Slytherin?"

I laugh, "just a few."

Scorp rolls his eyes, "oh be quiet," he says, "I mean, one in the same year as Potter's brother." I nod, and Al and I look at each other curiously.
Scorp grins and stands up, he looks excited and is about to start talking, but another voice appears.

"Al? What are you doing?" It's a boy, he looks like Al, and is wearing Gryffindor robes, he has a few other boys behind him and they are all looking at Albus, who is slowly turning a redder color.

"Oh, hi James," he says softly.

"So I suppose you ended up in Slytherin..." the boy, James, says crossing his arms slightly, Albus nods and I sit up, watching the Gryffindors.

"And what's it to you?" I ask, Albus sits up as well, looking at me, but I ignore him, looking at James with an eyebrow raised.

"You a Gaunt?" James asks, and Scorpius purses his lips eyeing the older boys. I nod.

"Go run to your brothers then," another boy says, his hair was sticking up everywhere and he had a black smudge on his nose.

"She doesn't have to go anywhere, Finnagen, they're here." Nate says with a chuckle, he had appeared and was walking over to stand behind me. "I mean, she could probably bet you in a race of running if we want to test that as well." He smirks.

James uncrosses his arms as Nate walks around their group, and looks back at the boy who spoke, then back at Nate, "we aren't challenging your little sister, Gaunt." He says looking at Albus, "just trying to say hello to my brother."

"M-hmm," Nate rolls his eyes, "well you've said your hellos, now take your posse away, we don't want another fight, do we?"

James frowns and Finnegan scoffs.

Nate nods, "goodbye, Potter, goons." He sneers. The boys around James frown and some roll their shoulders as if ready to pounce on Nate.

James nods slightly, "Good day." He says and turns walking away, and the rest of the boys slowly walk away with him.

Albus let's out a breath and Scorp looks at Nate, who just chuckles as the boys leave, "hello, Will." He says looking down at me, ignoring the looks both Albus and Scorpius were giving him. "How are you?"

I roll my eyes looking up at him, "pretty good, we we're just talking." Nate nods and looks over at the boys, giving them both a grin.

"Welcome to Hogwarts!" He says happily and Albus looks concernedly at Nate, who catches his look and laughs, "I'm completely sane, promise." He says, "just ask Will- actually no, don't ask her."

I grin, "yeah Nate's totally sane." I say sarcastically.

"Shut it," Nate says with a slight smile, Scorpius and Albus just look at each other and shake their heads. "Okay, well, if you are all safe, I will go and get back to my friends." Nate says and I roll my eyes.

"We're always safe," Scorp says and Al rolls his eyes, but he smiles and nods.

"Oh, yeah, how could I forget?" Nate chuckles patting my head and then messes my hair up, "bye, Will!" He grins, walking away.

I sigh, fixing my hair. I was used to it, but it was still annoying.

Brothers were annoying.

"So, what was your plan?" Al asks Scorp.

"Oh, it was stupid, maybe we'll doit later," he shrugs, "anybody got anything else?" he asks.

I shrugs and Albus stands up, "check out the library?" He asks.

I pull a face but stand up, "why the library?" I ask and Scorp looks at Al, curiously.

"Well, we'll probably have to go there to study and we might as well check it out before classes start." Albus shrugs.

"I suppose that makes sense," Scorp nods and I shrug.

"What are we waiting for then?" I ask with a small smile, "race you there." I say and take off, running for the school with the cries of me 'cheating' following me as the boys try to keep up.

•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^•^

I bet them by a Quidditch field.

They still thought I was a cheater and grumbled the rest of the way to the library. (We got stuck on a staircase and the paintings weren't very helpful with directions).

As we walked in we snuck into the shelves, trying to avoid anyone who would question us as to why we were in the library of all places.

But of course, there's one person you can't take away from the library. My nerd brother, Adam. He was sitting by himself, which was probably because his things were spread all over the table meant for four.

"Hey, Adam," I say as we walked closer to his table.

"Hey, Willow," he says not even looking up from his book, "don't ask me what I'm doing, it's complicated."

I smile to myself, "okay." I nod and Albus raises an eyebrow at me and Adam. I shrug at Al and we keep walking through the shelves.

"So why'd we come here again?" Scorpius asks.

"To look at stuff, doofus," Albus rolls his eyes and I laugh softly.

"No, really, thanks," Scorpius says sarcastically. "Well if that's what we're doing, I'm bored." He sighs.

"Willow?" A familiar voice says and I rush to place it as I turn around, and I internally groan as I see who it is. Of course it's her.
