Scorbus Fluff

1- Train ride to Hogwarts

"Scorpius, the permission slip for hogsmead is in the side pocket of your trolly. If you can't find it just owl," Draco Malfoy fussed over his son, "and just remember to have a good year and make some good friends.
"Thanks dad, I'll find the slip, and I already have a friend. Albus is all I'll need," Scorpius Malfoy responded comfortingly to his father as he hugged him. The young blond ran off and heard his dad say, "Write to me when you decide if you'll be coming home for Christmas!"
"I will! Love you Dad!"

Although no one noticed, those three words made Draco tear up every time. He was so proud to be able to call such an amazing young man his son, and to hear him openly express his love for his father was, as Mr. Malfoy thought, the best feeling in the world.

And, in all honesty, Draco didn't really care if Scorpius's best and only friend was a Potter. His son was happy with his friend, period. There is nothing else to say but that. Scorpius's happiness is the only important thing in the world to Draco, so as long as Albus doesn't mistreat his son, there's no issue in the proud fathers mind.

With the Potter's on the other hand, it's a bit of a different
story...

"Albus Potter, I am tired of this snarkey attitude you've had going on lately. You need to make more presentable friends," Ginny started, scolding Albus for defending Scorpius.
"Your mother is right young man, you're lucky we're letting you go to Hogsmead this year. Plus imagine what would happen if word spread of you, a Potter, being friends with the child if a Malfoy. Our family reputation would be over!" Harry fumed closely after.

"But what if I'm happy with him Dad? No one else gets me, or even makes an attempt to!" The youngest Potter son tried to reason with his father. Harry scoffed and, along with the rest of the adults and all the kids exept Lily and James,ignored Albus. After realizing this, Albis got on the train, trying to tell his parents goodbye but getting nothing back from his close family.

The only one who cared he was leaving was his Uncle George, whom Albus didnt even know he was there.
"Bye Al. I'm sorry about the others not wanting to try to make you feel better, but I'm gonna miss you." Albus almost broke down in his uncle's arms, feeling so grateful for his words.
"Bye Uncle George. I'll see you next summer."

As the train took off Albus heard his Uncle shout jokingly, "Support our goods at hogsmead!"
After a deep breath Albus was ready to find his friends... friend.

Scorpius has waiting for Albus in their usual compartment. He saw Lily and James earlier, so he knows he's here.
Just as the blond had started to fret, Albus moped in, surrounded by a negative aura.
"Albus, are you okay?!" Scorpius immediately began to fret over his friend. When Albus said nothing, he stood upto check on him better. As he walked over, the Potter slumped onto him, head resting between Scorpius's head and shoulder.

Scorpius turned instantly red, and, without thinking, wrapped his arms around Albus, pulling him onto the train seat. As they sat down Albus left his head on the Malfoy's arm.
About 15 min into the ride, Albus spoke.

"I got in a fight with my family. Only my siblings and Uncle George will talk to me," He finally explained leaving Scorpius shocked.

"What was the fight about?"
"..."
"Al?"
"Our friendship. My family was saying all these horrid things about your mother having no standards and about how the dark lord would be a step up from your dad, which is completely unfair. I told him that Mr.Malfoy had went through a lot and to treat him as such, and how your mother was the pride and joy of many people's lives. They told me I was being snarkey and I was lucky I'm allowed to go to hogsmead." This is when Albus started sheding tears. "Then they said stuff about me being friends with you and how it's gonna ruin our family rep, which I think is stupid. I told them how no one gets me like you do, and they ignored me... no one even said a goodbye or an I love you." This I'd when he really cried.

Scorpius thought of how hard that must be for him, not having anyone care your leaving. He thought about how his father always fussed over him and made sure he knew he was loved, and never minded who Scorpius hung out with as long as they were good people who treated him right.

"Want to spend Christmas with my Dad and I?" He suggested.

"Doesn't your dad hate my guts?" The Potter asked.

Noticing his friend's confused reaction, he added, "you know, cause I'm a Potter and all?" Scorpius smiled.
My dad makes a point not to judge people on their heritage. It's just nit fair."

Albus looked over at the Malfoy with eyes that suggested to Scorpius, and this gave the blond butterflies, that he might have some sort of affection for him, and nodded before burying himself in his friend's chest.

This marks the exact moment Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy realized he was in love with Albus Severus Potter.
