Somewhere Only We Know (Scorbus & Drarry)

Chapter 27

Harry's point of view - Flashback

"Are you alright, Harry? You been acting strange lately," said Ron who was sitting in the couch in the common room.

"Don't worry. I'm fine," Harry lied.

Just as Ron was about to answer they saw Dean entering the room, holding hands with Seamus. He gave Seamus a kiss on his cheek before they made their way to their dorm. Ron watched them and then turned his head to Harry.

"Dean and Seamus?" he said in surprise. "What about Ginny?" 

"They broke up," Harry explained.

"Wow. I didn't even know that he... you know... was into boys." 

"They're not the only ones," said Harry ready to tell him the truth.

"What? There's another one? Who?" Harry took a deep breath.

"Me. I've felt this way for a long time," he explained before Ron had the chance to say something. "I have a boyfriend too." 

"Blimey, Harry. Why didn't you tell me? Who is he?" 

"I didn't know how you'd react. About him I mean." 

"Do I know him?" 

There was a silence. He wanted to tell him straight ahead, but something was stopping him.

"If I told you, you would hate me forever." 

"Harry, I'm getting nervous. Just tell me who he is." 

"It's Draco." Ron looked at him, eyes wide open. "I know what you're thinking, but he has changed. He's nothing like before. He's a lot nicer now. I love him, Ron." 

Another silence. Ron seemed to try collecting his thoughts about this. Then he looked Harry dead in the eyes.

"I really hope you realize what you're doing," he said.

Harry was now in his kitchen. He hadn't seen Draco after he told their sons about them. He had owled him about their reactions, and sent about ten unanswered letters to Albus. James and Lily knew about them as well now. They weren't happy about it either. However it was no harder for them than it was for Albus.

He heard a knock on the window. Wilbur had arrived with letter from Draco. He let him in and read the letter.

Hey Harry. I knew things would turn out this way. I got a letter from Scorpius the day after you told them. He was furious with me for not telling him and he refused to leave Albus. I know it's a lot harder, not just for us, but for them after what The Daily Prophet wrote, but I shall tell you. I still love you and we could make this work. We'll solve this together //Draco

He thought about the boys. He couldn't imagine them separating at this point. Maybe that's the reason Albus wouldn't answer his letters, because he wanted to forget about what h told him.

Albus's point of view

A week had passed since Albus broke up with Scorpius. Every time he saw him he would just walk on pretending that he didn't see him. He didn't like it. He missed him. He didn't even know what he was up to these days when they weren't in class.

He found himself in the library. All alone. Not even Madame Pince was in there. Without thinking he made his way to the restricted section. The bookcases in there were like the walls of a very long hallway. He walked on until he saw something. A sight of a human looking creature. Someone who looked like... Scorpius. Could it possibly be him? He kept walking until he saw him clearly. It was him. Smiling at him. Albus began tearing up and threw his arms around his neck.

"Oh Scorpius, I'm so sorry for everything!" he said over his shoulder. "I love you so much, I didn't mean any of what I said." 

"It's alright. I'm right here now," said Scorpius while stroking his hair. Albus looked him deep in the eyes and leaned in for a kiss. Scorpius kissed back with no hesitation. "Shall we go on?" Albus looked at the way between the bookcases.

"Where does it go?" he asked.

"Somewhere only we know," said Scorpius and held out his hand for him. Albus took it as they went on.

Albus woke up in his bed. Of course it was all just a dream. It was a Saturday morning and, as usual, he was the last to wake up. Not even Scorpius would wake him. He went to eat breakfast and as he finished he decided to take a walk outside.

It was a lot colder than he expected and his feet kept sinking down the snow for every step that he took. He found a rock to sit on after brushing off the snow. He sat down and watched the sight of the frozen lake.

"Sitting here all by yerself are yeh?" Albus turned his head and saw Hagrid.

"I like being by myself," he said and looked back at the lake. "Well sometimes. Easier to let my thoughts run free."

"Yeh sound just like yer father."

"I'm nothing like him."

"Yeh have his eyes," said Hagrid. "Fancy a cup o tea? Yeh must be freezing."

"No thank you."

"Alright then. Well. I'll be home incase yeh change yer mind. Gotta run now." He made his way to his hut and Albus was left alone again.

He thought about the beginning of the year when he used to come here with Scorpius. Scorpius would always bring a book to read when Albus just wanted to cuddle. They usually made a deal that for every page he turned he owed him a kiss. He wished he could've been here with him now so they could keep each other warm. But he couldn't think of him that way anymore.

His thoughts were interrupted by a person, dressed in a black cloak, about ten feet away from him. They wore a hood that covered the half of their face. They went closer. He almost panicked since he had no idea who it was. Then he saw the visible part of their face that looked familiar. They pulled off the hood and he saw the silver blue hair releasing.

"You must be joking," Albus whispered to himself.

"Good afternoon, Albus. Long time no see."
