                       Albus' POV
           The Hogwarts express chugged down the tracks rhythmically. I looked at the window at the green mountains flooding by and the vast golden fields and marshes. I was about to start my 4th year and I couldn't wait to roam the large, cool halls. To marvel at the long spiraling staircases, to dodge the ghosts and eat bountiful feasts in the great hall. And most of all, to spend as much time possible with my boyfriend. We have a whole compartment to ourselves. Scorpius lays on the seat across from me, his head buried in a book. This was actually quite unusual for him, but I didn't mention anything. He looked cute all focused, his light hair tousled around his head and his soft hands turning the pages with ease. I notice they shake a little bit. I notice his eyes seem a little watery....
           "Scorp? Love? Is something wrong?" I stand up from my seat and walk over to his. I lift the book out of his hands, lift his head and the sit. Lowering his head back into my lap. I know he loves it when I do this, I run my hands gently through his hair and look down on his face.
     Suddenly, he pulls his hands up over his eyes and chokes back a sob.
        This is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. The love of my life is crying in my lap. I quickly react.
         "Scorpius!!" My hands stop playing with his hair, I reach down and pull his hands off his face. I trace his knuckles and hold his hands tightly, just like I do when he gets nightmares and crawls into my bed. Just like I do when we are walking through the halls at Hogwarts, so everybody knows he's mine.
         His face is red and blotchy from crying. I pull him up and hug him tightly. I immediately realize what's wrong. I hug him tighter, a firm grasp around his midsection. I let him sob into my shoulder for a while, not caring. I shush him quietly, and trace hearts on his back. His arms wrap around my neck as if he's grabbing on for life support. We stay like this for a while, until Scorpius's sniffles die down and he pulls away.
             "Astoria...." I say gently to Scorpius.
         Tears stream down his face and I feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. "Oh Albus. It happened a few weeks ago. I knew it was going to come at some point but I.. oh god. I miss her so much. I can't think straight."
          "Well that's because you're gay, love." I try and crack a joke. I see a faint smile on his face.
             "I just want to disappear.." Scorpius says, laughing a little. He grabs my hand and holds it gently. "Maybe I shouldn't of come to Hogwarts. Is it too soon?? Oh god I'm being a bother aren't I." He starts playing with his hair nervously. More tears.
            I trace his hand. "No no no no no no no!! Scorp, please. I love you. I'd follow you to the ends of the earth, I'll stay by you through anything. It's not a bother... I loved her too. Almost as much as I love you." I see him fading away.
         "You're not thinking straight, Scorpius. I love you and I promise you from the very bottom pits of my heart that it is going to be okay. And I'm so sorry that happened", I say, "but I'm here for you. Love?" He suddenly had a huge smile on his face.
              "You're right Albus. Hah. I'm not  thinking straight... I'm thinking gay. I love you so much."
           And just like that he pulls my head towards him, our foreheads touching for a moments time. Then he connects our lips and we share a teary, sad and slow kiss.
           I grab his lower back and pull him into me, and the Hogwarts train pulls to a stop.
           "I have a longing feeling for Astoria now, but I know she is in a better place away from all this suffering. May she Rest In Peace." I whisper in Scorpius's ear as we grab our stuff and head towards the castle.
