Harry Potter One-shots

Scorbus: Ignored It Until Now

Wrote this before the Cursed Child came out, so sorry if the characters are OOC!

When James first noticed them speaking to each other outside a first year potions classroom, he ignored it. After all, his brother was a Hufflepuff, he wouldn't associate with slimy Slytherin's. He knew Albus wouldn't go against their mums rule on not befriending Malfoy's. Mum said Malfoy's were rude and arrogant. Though, Albus was always closer to dad then mum after they spilt in 2011, when Albus was only six. Dad had said that Draco Malfoy wasn't a bad guy, simply dragged into the wrong crowd when he was too young to know better.

So, James ignored how Albus would hang out with Scorpius as often as possible, the affection touches they would share after his brother started his fifth year and James his sixth. He even excused how Albus was growing his hair out after Scorpius made a comment on how it looked better longer! But he would not let Albus' first kiss be taken by that slimy git on James Graduation day!

"What do you think you are doing to my brother!?" James growled, grabbing his wand out to hex the bastard when his shy natured brother quickly grabbed his own.

"James...Put the wand away." Albus asked softly. James would have continued to hex the Slytherin if not for his knowledge that Albus was not only a great dueler, but that he had perfect O's on all his subjects and would likely beat him quite quickly, despite the extra year above him.

"But-but what would mum say?!" James tried to use the guilt card, even though he hated using it on his innocent little brother, he would rather that then his lips soiled by an arrogant Malfoy.

"Dad said I can do whatever I want as long as I'm happy, so why are you trying to stop something I've been waiting forward to for three years?!" Albus scowled lightly, pouting the slightest bit as he put away his wand after James did.

"Three years? Ah, you've made me waste time chasing you Kitten." Scorpius chuckles while Albus' blushes an adorable crimson red at the nickname.

"What? So you're gonna marry a Malfoy? You know it won't last Al, he's the heir of a Pureblood line, he needs to have a blood child or be disowned. He's only gonna leave you later on." James tried to reason as Albus looked at the ground, shuffling his feet slightly.

"Sorry Potter, I forgot that your father's a half-blood. Most half-blood's would at least know that male Pureblood's can carry children? Gosh, where were you born?" Scorpius rolled his eyes. "Every Pureblood parent should know that. Hasn't your mother told you that?"

"W-Well, mum probably didn't need to tell us since Albus hasn't told her he's gay." James countered weakly.

"Scorpius, please don't be speak to him like that, you know I hate it when you speak like that. Not everyone knows Pureblood traditions." Albus said softly, smiling a little.

"Sorry Al. I was just telling him that he's wrong."

"I know you love proving people wrong, but please refrain a little while my brothers here." Albus sighed softly and kissed his cheek, reassuring he wasn't mad in the slightest.

"Albus! Don't act like I'm not here! I don't trust the slimy git around you, he'll make you into some type of housewife!" James interrupted hotly as he huffed in anger. He hated being ignored.

"I don't really mind..." Albus mumbled shyly as he fidgeted with the hem of his robes, a cute flush on his pale but slightly freckled cheeks.

Scorpius grinned in victory.

"Your plan to separate us isn't working Potter. Why don't you go find your parents and see if they want you. Al and I were busy you know." Scorpius reminded with an arrogant smirk.
