Always

Chapter 10

** Today Scorpius is going back to Hogwarts for his second year.**

I rummage through Scorpius's drawers in attempt to find something for him to wear. Since when did he become so picky? Usually there is no fuss when it comes to Scorpius, there hasn't been any trouble with him all summer and today he wants to be picky? I pull out two different things for him and he takes them both and puts one on. He looks in the mirror, I laugh as he looks at every angle, and shakes his head. " The shirt is fine but the pants.... Nuh-uh. Oh! Hand me those shorts!" He says as if he's just come up with a new spell. Doing as told, I hand him the shorts and walk out as he begins to put on his shoes, thankfully he isn't fussing about those.
I'm about to call for him when I hear him stomping down the stairs. I hand him his luggage and we head out, making our way to platform 9 and 3/4.
As we are waiting along with many other families, all waiting for 10:00, I notice Scorpius eagerly scanning the crowd, obviously searching for someone. " Who are you looking for?" I ask casually, when on the inside I'm desperately hoping he's not actually looking for someone. " Just someone Father."
" Mind telling me who this 'someone' is?" He sighs.
" This someone happens to be the love of my life. She's a Ravenclaw. Her name is Stella."
" Longbottom's kid?"
" Yeah..." He says shyly.
" Well she's just arrived. And, not trying to ruin things for you, but I'm pretty sure she not the love of your life. Just some silly crush," or at least I hope. He looks up at the crowd and his eyes settle on Stella. He runs over to her and starts a conversation. I can't believe I just told him where she was! He's too little. They're both to little to even think about dating! Just as I begin to make my way towards him, I feel a tug on my shirt sleeve. I look down and see a young girl, probably 8 or 9, with green eyes full of curiosity.
" Are you a Deaths Eaters?" She asks.
I shake my head no and say," Not anymore... Never really." Just as she is about to say something else a voice shouts out," LIAR!" I look at where the voice came from and see Potter's kids staring right at me. I shrug it off as if it were no big deal, I get loads of accusations about me trying to bring back the Dark Lord. The little girl slowly backs away from be and runs to her mother, who was standing a few feet away. Potter and Weaslette pull their kid away and begin to have what looks like a very serious talk, occasionally looking back at me. " It's okay Father. They just don't get it," I hear Scorpius say to me. I chuckle and think, Seriously, when did he become so wise and intelligent? " Father, I have to board the train. Goodbye, I'll write to you weekly, as promised. I love you."
" I love you too. Don't forget to write me! I'll see you on Christmas break. I have a special surprise planned."
" Now you tell me! Now I'm gonna be thinking all semester about what it is!"
I laugh and pull him into an embrace,
" At least you have something to look forward to," I say as I let him go. He smiles and shrugs, acting like he doesn't care when I can tell he's thinking really hard about what it is.
" Alright, off you go, wouldn't want to miss the train."
" Okay. Love you."
" And I you."
With that he walks away and boards the train. Even after 12 years of being with him, I don't think I will ever be able to get used to saying 'I love you' Lucious certainly played the caring father part, but I knew that he never meant it. The train slowly pulls away from the platform and I wave goodbye when I see Scorpius. He shouts something out the window and points to my right, then he's gone. I look to where he points and groan internally when I see Granger, Still on about that isn't he? I'm just glad she didn't see that!
