Harry Potter: The Next Generation

Chapter 9

~~Chapter 9~~

(Albus's POV)

I make my way down the quiet halls after leaving Griffydor tower. Actually that's an understatement I'm practically floating down the halls. I just can't believe how remarkable tonight was. I think I may need to pinch myself to make sure it's not a dream. 

Ow! Crap! 

Nope it's not a dream.

I Albus Severus Potter am now the proud boyfriend of Ivy Thomas. Better yet I'm dating the girl who had the choice of dating my brother and still chose me instead. This is definitely something to celebrate. I can't wait to rub it in his face!

I finally reached the Slytherin portrait and whispered the password before entering. The common room was dimly lit by the fire place and a couple of candles here and there. There were a few students scattered around the room, books in hand looking as dull as possible. 

Seriously!! We might as well be Ravenclaw house if this is all we do!

I rolled my eyes at my boring housemates and climbed the large staircase that led to the bedrooms. Hopefully Scorpius is inside so I can tell him everything. It's after curfew so he should be; then again this is Scorpius we're talking about. He wouldn't know a rule if someone through a rule book at him.

I enter my room to find my best mate sprawled out across his bed twirling his wand in one hand and holding book in the other. This is the second time I've caught him with a book. I think I should be worried. 

"Have you finally started that homework you owe professor Yems from weeks ago?" I snicker plopping on my bed across from his own. He removes the book from his face and send me a menacing glare.

"No you jackass I happen to enjoy reading from time to time thank you." 

"Since when?" I rose a brow in surprise.

"Eh since about two seconds ago when I heard you coming into the room. Had to make it look like I wasn't sitting here wondering of the details about your date with your dream girl." he shrugged as if nothing was wrong with his confession.

"Yeah because that would be creepy, glad you weren't doing that." he laughed before throwing his book to the floor and looking at me expectantly. 

"What?" I tried my hardest to hide my oncoming grin.

"What do you mean what? I want details man details!!"

"What is this Oprah's share circle?"

"Who in the bloody name of magic is Oprah?" he questioned looking completely confused. I forgot he's never lived in the muggle word so he is clueless when I make certain references.

"She's this woman who....never mind never mind." I waved the matter away as he shrugged.

"Well fine, if you won't tell me I guess I'll just have to find out for myself." he grinned evilly slipping his hand under his pillow and pulling out the very familiar hard cover book. 

"Scorpius!! Why do you have my chat book!?" I shrieked lunging towards him. Unfortunately he was too quick for me and I landed in his bundle of blankets; he, now on his feet, chuckled as he walked farther away from me opening the book.

"Oh would you look at that! There's even a page glowing just waiting to be read." 

No!! Damn, Ivy must've wrote me goodnight.
