Somewhere Only We Know (Scorbus & Drarry)

Chapter 28

Albus's point of view

"Delphi?" Albus was panicking right now. "But... you can't be! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in-"

"Azkaban," Delphi finished for him. "I know. I escaped half a year ago. Easier than I expected actually."

Albus couldn't decide if he was more frightened or angry. He hated her. He hated everything she had done. 

"What are you doing here?" he snapped although his heart was beating faster than the fastest creature could run.

"I've come to apologize," she said calmly. Albus didn't buy it.

"Apologize?! APOLOGIZE?! I won't forgive you! Ever! You murdered Craig, tortured and threatened to kill my best friend, right before my eyes, you nearly killed me, and you nearly killed my dad! And not to mention what you almost did to the wizarding world." Delphi didn't seem surprised at all from his reminder.

"Unfortunately I can't undo any of that, can I?" she said and looked down. "But as long as we have regrets and forgiveness it is possible to move on"

"It doesn't matter what you say. I won't forgive you," he said coldly. "Watching Scorpius suffer in pain was like having thousands of knives in my heart." Delphi sat down crosslegged beside the rock Albus was sitting on.

"How is he doing right now?" she asked politely.

"I don't know," said Albus and swallowed. For some reason Delphi started to make him feel comfortable. "We don't talk anymore."

"You broke up?"

"Unfortunately- Hang on. How did you know we were dating?" he questioned.

"I've seen you two. Saw you at the Three broomsticks back in October. And also before new year's eve, where you left Hogsmeade holding hands." Albus looked at her.

"You were spying on us?" 

"I was just trying  to get to you. For this discussion," she said and looked down.

"I still don't trust you. If you're here to kill me then go ahead." Delphi looked up at him.

"Even if I wanted to kill you I wouldn't be able to," she said and looked down again taking a deep breath. "I've lost some of my powers because of my illness." At first Albus thought she was lying, but is she was then she was an awfully good actress.

"What illness?" he asked as Delphi got on her feet.

"Until we meet again," she said and apparated. 

Now it hit him. He actually realized now what she did last time, and the way she acted. How he really thought she was his friend and then she turned out to be Voldemort's daughter! Of course she was pretending! She was trying to lure him into something again. It frightened him. There was only one person he could talk to at this point; Scorpius. He didn't care if they weren't together anymore. This was way more important.

As he returned to the castle he started to think. Where could Scorpius possibly be att this point? The library of course. So he made his way there to look for him. There he was. Sitting by the table reading. Slowly Albus began walking towards him. He stood across from him and gently put his hand on the table for his attention. He looked up surprised to see him.

"Hi," said Albus calmly.

"Hey," said Scorpius and looked down on his book again. Albus took a seat.

"I'm sorry about the other day. It was a stupid thing to say." Scorpius ignored him. "I really want us to be friends. I miss you."

"Okay." He still didn't take his eyes off from the book.

"I mean it," said Albus and tried to make eye contact. "Like before. Can't we just... forget about what we had and accept the fact that we're going to be step brothers?"

He never thought about it that far. And it felt absolutely wrong. Scorpius was definitely not a brother to him. However Scorpius seemed to agree with him.

"Sure," he said giving him a weak smile. And now let's move on to what just happened.

"You won't believe me if I told you who came up to me on the grounds." Scorpius looked at him ready to hear anything, except for what he actually had to say. "Delphi." Scorpius froze in chock. He leaned forward so no one could hear him.

"Really? I thought she was in Azkaban?"

"She escaped," Albus explained. "I have no idea how, but she said she wanted to apologize for last year's events. And now she wants to see me again."

"Maybe it's a trap," Scorpius warned him. "Don't worry. I've got your back." Just as Albus was about to answer he was interrupted.

"Hey, Scorpy!"

Albus looked up and saw Bianca running towards him. She took a seat beside him and kissed him on the... lips?! Albus looked at them in shock. He wanted to pretend that he he didn't see anything.

"Oh. Right," said Scorpius as he noticed Albus's confused look. "You probably didn't know. Bianca and I... we are... well..."

"Wait a minute... You two?" Albus was very upset about this.

"Yeah," said Bianca. "We thought, you know, since you two-" 

"Then maybe I should get out of here if I'm excused," said Albus refusing to let her finish.

He left his seat and made his way out of the library. Scorpius and Bianca. The image he had of them kissing disgusted him. He hated Bianca. She was nothing but a fake friend who used him so she could steal Scorpius from him. And what on earth did Scorpius see in her? He couldn't stand looking att couples right now. Not even Lily and Isac, who turned out to be a good guy after all. It all reminded him of what he and Scorpius had and what Scorpius had now. He never wanted to see him again.
