Hogwarts - The Next Gen.

Chapter 21. Spring Break

Spring break has arrived.
As everyone now knew about their relationship, it got easier to be around certain people.

Y/n took the invitation of Lilly to stay with her and her family again, since Albus took intress in another and just saw them as friends.

Y/n sighed as she gazed out the window of the Potter's cozy guest room. Spring break at the Potters' was filled with a mixture of fun and relaxation. Every night, Scorpius Malfoy, called her. It felt like they where miles away from each other. Y/n's heart skipped a beat when her enchanted phone buzzed with Scorpius's name on it. No matter how much they talked, it wasn't the same as having him by her side.

As the days passed, Y/n found herself missing Scorpius more than ever. The mere thought of his absence during her final year at Hogwarts sent a pang of longing through her. She wished she could be with him, sharing in his excitement and supporting him as he searched for an apartment in London for his future studies.

Scorpius's dreams of becoming a doctor or professor filled her with envy. While she admired his ambition and determination, a part of her couldn't help but feel left behind. She longed to be a part of his journey, to experience the thrill of pursuing her own dreams alongside him.

The next day Y/n told Lilly everything and kept looking at her necklace.
Albus called y/n and Lilly downstairs with a bright smile. It was Scorpius who stood behind him holding flowers. Y/n jumped into his arms from joy, he kissed her on her forehead .

She looked at him teasingly "hey you!" Scorpius smiled and handed her the flowers. Y/n got tears in her eyes and started blushing. Albus and Lilly laughed. Albus suddenly thought of something and said "Oh now that you are here, I have to tell you something." Y/n, Scorpius and Lilly were surprised when Karl also walked in. "Karl...?" Scorpius growled "What is he doing here?" Karl grabbed Albus's hand. Everyone was dumbfounded. What did this mean? Albus and Karl simultaneously coughed "euh well.... yes... euh. we have the same interesse and we..." Lilly looked closely and examined the two. "Are you seeing each other? As in?" Y/n laughed softly "Stop teasing Lilly." Lilly looked at y/n with another puzzled look. Then her mouth fell open.

The group left to visit a small town. Scorpius Malfoy, Albus Severus Potter, and Karl Jenkins sat at a table in the corner of a small lunchroom their voices mingling with the low buzz of other patrons. The trio was engrossed in a discussion about their future studies, each contemplating their next steps after Hogwarts.

Scorpius leaned forward, excitement dancing in his silver eyes as he spoke animatedly about the different magical universities he was considering. "I've been looking into programs at the Wizarding University of Edinburgh and the Institute of Advanced Magic in London. Both offer fascinating courses in magical theory and potion-making."

Albus nodded thoughtfully, his glasses slipping down his nose as he pondered his own options. "I'm torn between pursuing a career in Auror training or delving into magical research. Dad thinks I'd make a good Auror, but I'm also intrigued by the idea of exploring new magical phenomena."
Karl, ever the practical one, interjected, "I'm leaning towards a more hands-on approach. Apprenticeships in magical craftsmanship seem like a solid choice for me. I've always had a knack for wandmaking, and I think I could excel in that field."

As the conversation flowed, Y/n couldn't help but feel a pang of apprehension. She knew this day would come, where their Hogwarts years would draw to a close, but the reality of it still seemed daunting. With one more year left at Hogwarts, the thought of her friends moving on to pursue their dreams left her feeling a mixture of excitement and uncertainty.

Scorpius noticed the change in Y/n's demeanor and reached out to gently squeeze her hand, his touch sending a warmth through her veins. "Hey, don't worry." he said softly, his gaze full of reassurance. "We'll figure it out together. And who knows, maybe we'll even find a place of our own someday." Y/n's cheeks flushed at the suggestion, her heart fluttering at the thought of sharing a future with Scorpius. The idea of living together seemed like a distant dream, but one she couldn't help but entertain.

Just then, Lilly sauntered over with a mischievous grin on her face. "Sooooooo... when will I become an aunt?" she teased, winking at Y/n. "You two lovebirds seem to be planning quite the future together." Y/n couldn't help but laugh, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and affection for her friend's playful teasing. "Okay, okay, that's enough," she said, playfully swatting at Lilly. "We're just taking things one step at a time." But deep down, Y/n couldn't deny the thrill that coursed through her veins at the prospect of what the future might hold. With her friends by her side and Scorpius's unwavering support, anything seemed possible.

They later went to an arcade to have a nice playfull afternoon and finishing it off with a BBQ. The shrill ringing of Scorpius's mobile shattered the laughter of the late afternoon. With a furrowed brow, he fished the device from his pocket, his heart pounding with a sense of urgency as he recognized the caller ID: Rose Weasley Granger. "Rose? What's wrong?" Scorpius asked, his voice laced with concern as he answered the call.

"Scorpius, it's terrible! You have to come right away."Rose's voice crackled through the line, filled with panic and desperation. "Something strange is happening, and I don't know what to do."

Scorpius's mind raced with worry as he listened to Rose's frantic words. Without a moment's hesitation, he knew he had to go to her aid. "I'm on my way." he assured her, already moving to grab his coat and wand.

Y/n watched from the doorway, her heart sinking at the sight of Scorpius preparing to leave without letting anyone know.

What was going on....
