Scorpius Pov
'So James, if you and Sirius were in Remus's I don't know aunt or wherever, how the hell do you explain these scars?'

'Remus has a cat.' said James.
'A nasty one' Sirius added and gnawed his teeth and looked fiercely at him scratching him.

'Ow'
'Just showing'
'I don't think those are cat scratches or marks or bites or whatever.'
'Then what do you think they are, Mr I am a little too much curious?' asked Sirius munching on bacon.

'I just want an honest answer. It was bad enough with Minnie lecturing me and keeping me till 12 for detention '
'Sorry mate-'
'And she told me that when I meet you two, I have to tell you that you two have two extra weeks of detention for bunking this one' he grinned.

'Oh great. What did she make you do anyway?'
'Clean the closets in the fifth floor'
'Thats okay-' Sirius started.
'Without magic.'
'Okay maybe not but still-'
'You know what use those closets have?'

Sirius looked at him.
Then smirked 'I have used a couple too many of them.'
'Exactly my point. I mean it was torture. At one I practically wanted to die, especially this closet at the end of the corridor-'

'On the right side?'
James, Scorpius and Peter laughed knowingly.
'Hey sorry buddy, that was me and Rachel.' Sirius winked.
'The Ravenclaw?' asked James.
'Yeah.'

'So you are dating her now?'
'It was a one time thing but man was she good in bed and oh my you should hear this one time-'
'Sirius, in my six years of being your best mate I have reminded you six million times that I do not want to hear the details.'
'Sorry just got carried away.'

Scorpius Pov
Professor slughorn entered the room and greeted them with a 'Hello'

'So I guess there are two new students - Miss Charlotte Stephens and Mr Drake Rogers. You may share the empty table in the corner. All others may remain in the original pairs assigned to them at start of year.'
***

'So Stephens, what's up?'
She ignored him and continued dropping ingredients in the dark green potion.

'What are we making?'
She ignored him once again.

'Hey we are partners, so don't you think you should be telling me what we are doing.'

She looked up.
'Dont you think you should know what we are making?'

'Well partners normally make.. out but' he stopped with her glare.
'Okay seriously what the hell are we making?'

'I am making a potion, it seems. And you I guess you know what you are doing..'

'I-' He stopped deciding not to make another dumb class statement.

'I can chop those with my wand, sure. I have experience. Tried to chop my father's head once.'

'Stop joking.'

Flashback

'No way, dad... You cant just move on like that.'

'Scorpius.. I think its time we both moved on.. We have moped on for two months straight and the house is a hell-hole..'

'Maybe you could forget her so soon but i wont..'
'I havent forgotten her-'

'Then why the hell were you making out with that-that crazy woman.'

'Scorpius' Draco sighed. 'You need to stop calling her that. She is going to come in a few moments and if you dont stop..' he sighed again.

'Oh really what will you do?' asked scorpius.
'You want a duel? Its on.' scorpius challenged.
'What? No.  You are my son-'
'Scared,  dear daddy?'

'Oh okay.. Its time for you to go hangout with your friends. Should i call jeremy to cheer you up? Or maybe Derek?'

'Stupefy'
'Protego. Scorpius you need to stop this. NOW. Its an order. '

'Oh come on. You are just an itsy bitsy-'

'Scorpius this is insane. I am your father and you.. you know what? If this makes you feel good, we can duel after my date with Katherine.'

'Oh no. I am having fun. Lets do this now.'
'It has to be completely educational.'
'Sure, weeper.'
Draco sighed again.
'Now its so on.'
***

That had been one hell of a night..  Which ended in scorpius almost chopping his dad's ear.
Later, Katherine stopped seeing his dad after watching him fight with his son..'

Draco promised scorpius that he would never take up a serious relationship..
So dates came and went.. New girls every week.. And his dad remained single.

*End of Zone out*

'No.. I really did. Well Stephens, you never really told me about yourself-'
'What? Why would I tell you about myself? We don't even know each other.'

'That can be changed, love.'
'Ugh Lily was right-'
'About what?'
'That you are an ugly arrogant typical guy.'

'Wait she said... I was ugly?'
'No, I added that part.'
He grinned.
'-Because that is my opinion '
His grin faded.

'You think this' he pointed at himself 'Is ugly?'
'Yep. Stop being a big headed ugly git.'

'Charlotte, I thought you were hot-'
'Really? That's endearing but I still think of you as a pig.'
'-at first but now I think you are one hell of a bitch.'

'Excuse me, I take offence-'
'Fuck your offence.'
'How can you be so-'
'Nice in bed?' he suggested.

She stopped for a moment.
'No. I was thinking about stupid but heck you would go with fat.'

'Fat. You didn't call me fat. You don't seriously think that do you?'
'Does it hurt you?'
'Yes. It's like this arrow suddenly pierced in my heart-'
'Then yes I seriously think that.'

She ignored him then just as she was leaving asked a question he had been expecting...
'And you and Marlene.. how the hell did that happen? You barely know her two days.'

'Nice to meet you too, Stephens' he winked and walked away.
