This was Albus' first Christmas break since before he went to Hogwarts where he didn't talk to Scorpius at all. He was rapidly becoming depressed because of this, so he decided to tell his parents.
"Hey mum, dad, can I tell you about something happening at school?" Albus comes into the kitchen the night before he returned to Hogwarts.
"Of course sweetie, you can tell us anything." His mum Ginny states sweetly. She was a very great mother, and Albus was lucky to have her.
"So, Scorpius got a girlfriend. Her name is Addison Wood, and she's Oliver Wood's daughter. He-"
Harry interrupts Albus by saying "Son, Oliver Wood doesn't have a daughter. He has a son that graduated from Hogwarts three years ago. I know this, for I am still in contact with Oliver. This girl is lying about her parentage, which is very sketchy. Continue." Ginny gives Harry a look of concern, and then looks over to Albus so he can continue.
"Well, ever since they've gotten together, Scorpius has been acting different. I don't mean the normal different, I mean a stark difference. He sleeps in her room, always ignoring me. I don't have any friends anymore, and when I tried to confront him about it he started yelling at me and calling me a - " He pauses, tears threatening to pour from his green eyes. Ginny and Harry go over to hug their son.
"What did he call you, Albus? You can spell it out. If you need, sweetie." Ginny says, a tinge of sadness lacing her mature voice.
All Albus did was grab a nearby quill and some old copy of the daily prophet and scrambled down the word 'faggot' (sorry) onto it.
"Mum, Dad, I'm gay. Scorpius was my crush, ever since year one. I don't know what to do." Albus falls into his mothers arms, sobbing into his shoulder.
"Sweetie, it'll be okay. It seems Scorpius is in a a - situation. Harry and I will contact the headmaster immediately. We'll get this sorted out, Albus." Ginny whispers softly into her sons ear.
"Ginny, do you think Scorpius could be under the Imperius curse?" Harry asks thoughtfully.
"I don't know, but it seems plausible. We need to figure out who that Addison girl really is, and stop her. She's gonna ruin our babies life." Ginny says worriedly.
"I'll go write to McGonagall, and maybe Draco." Harry somberly states, giving his son one last hug before quickly pacing upstairs to his office.
Albus was happy that he told his parents, but he didn't know how that would really make things better. He heard his dad say Scorpius may be under an Imperius curse, which Albus most definitely believes. He just needed to get proof.
