Dragon's Promise

Chapter 30

EDITED

Albus' P.O.V

I was back in the Potter's house. Scorpius tried to see me but I told him to leave every time. He scared me. All I remembered of being tortured was the pain and Scorpius' face. That's why he scared me. I never slept but every day, three times a day, Harry would bring me food. My stomach was weak at first but after a while I was able to eat whatever was on the plate. I grew stronger and slowly got my confidence back. One day Scorpius came in when his parents weren't home and tried to talk to me. I told him that I hated him and that he should go away. His eyes filled with hurt but he didn't say anything, instead he just walked out of the room. Why did that bother me?

I felt a dull ache in my chest ever since I was taken away from Scorpius a month ago. When I was far away from him it hurt more but I thought it was just from being beaten up. When I had got to the Potter's house and had been healed I noticed that I had a tattoo. It was of a dark blue phoenix, so blue it was almost black. After I told Scorpius that I hated him I watched as it faded to an ashen grey and lost some of it's feathers. What the hell was this? My stutter was back. I hated it. It made me feel weak. 

"Al? Albus?" My thoughts were interrupted by Draco's voice. I looked up slowly. He held his hands up in surrender. 

"I need you to help Scorpius. He's hurt and you can heal him." I can heal him? I didn't want to go anywhere near him. But at the same time I was worried about him, somehow he was hurt and somewhere deep inside me I knew I could heal him and that if I didn't I would regret it. I stood up. 

"Where is he?"

Draco waved his hand and brought me to Scorpius' room. He was lying with his palms up and bandages around his wrists. A feeling welled up inside me and I felt tears prick my eyes. I walked slowly to his side and stood there, just staring at him. His breathing was uneven and he was even more pale than usual. 

"What happened?" I asked quietly. 

"He- oh Merlin Albus! He tried to kill himself. He left a note." I looked to my right and saw a piece of paper on the bedside table.

Dear Albus,

If you're reading this then you probably don't know what you mean to me. So I'll tell you. Albus I love you more than words can describe. I discovered that we share a bond not unlike my parent's. I have a tattoo of a red phoenix but when you told me you hated me it turned grey and old. I knew that this is because you are falling out of love with me, wether it is due to Ginny using me to torture you or wether you just can't remember. I assume you have the same tattoo. When I brought you home that night I lay you on the bed and cried. Phoenix tears heal and apparently we have a bond like a phoenix. You woke up but were to afraid of me. It's my fault your mom hates you. It's my fault that you were tortured and now hate me. Even I hate me. So that's why I'm gone. I love you Albus Wood and that will never change. I love you.

Scorpius 

Scorpius loves me? 

"W-w-what the h-hell k-kind of s-sick j-joke is t-t-this?" I asked, whirling around to face Draco. His eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed. 

"This isn't a joke. Scorpius tried to take his life today and that right there is his note." He snarled. 

"N-no. He w-w-wouldn't." Pain shot through my chest and I turned back to Scorpius. His eyes were open and he was gasping for air. I could see blood leaking through his bandages. I rushed to his side and grabbed his hand. 

"What's happening?!" I yelled in a panic. Draco came up behind me. 

"His cuts have reopened! He's lost to much blood already, this will kill him Albus! You have to help him! Please." His last word came out in a whisper. I watched as Scorpius' breathes became shallow and his eyes rolled back into his head. 

"No! Scorp! I remember! I love you! You can't die, Scorp..." My eyes filled with tears as I leaned over him to kiss him. Then I remembered.

Phoenix tears heal.

I closed my eyes and felt a tear fall. 

Silence.

I slowly opened my eyes and was met with Scorpius' grey green ones. 

"Scorp?" I whispered softly. He smiled weakly. "You remember?" I nodded. I leaned down and kissed him softly. I heard Draco quietly leave the room. When we pulled away I smiled but that turned into a grimace of pain. 

"Agh!" Scorpius gasped too and looked down at his forearm. His phoenix burst into ashes as did mine. No. No. That's not supposed to happen. I gave Scorpius a panicked look that he returned. There was no pain in my chest. 

"No. No, Scorp I love you this can't be righ- ow!" I exclaimed. I looked down at my arm and noticed that my blue phoenix was emerging from the ashes. So was Scorpius' except his was red. He let out a laugh of relief. I kissed him again and we started to glow, just like his parents. But it wasn't. This was us. Our bond and our love that formed it. "I love you, I love you, I love you." I whispered over and over between kisses. 

"Al? I love you too."
