Harry Potter (19 Years Later)

Chapter Three : Friends

Chapter three: (Scorpius's POV)

Rose and Albus were so popular and Diana was sweet and out going, they didn't even know I excise and then there was every other one of my classmates. All of them thought I was wrong, teachers too, I could practically feel their thought all day worming their way into my mind

"He's a deatheater!"

"Malfoy in gryffindor, I think he's about to burn!"

"There's something wrong with his brain, he's evil. He should be with the rest of the devils in Slytherin."

They hurt, my father didn't tell me of what happened until the night before school and I was so scared. I've written letters home and I'm wondering if they can tell I'm getting ranked and picked on. I don't want Rose and Albus and Diana to know because their amazing and polite and love by everyone who is graced to look at them.

When is see Proffessor Longbottom asks rose to help him I know I'll never get to do anything like that. I love herbology and potions, they go hand and hand and I think it's beautiful. I was always loved the magic that just came from inner-power, skill and patience. Rose and Diana are next to me on my right for potions and Diana nearly killed Rose and me last potions.

As I pass greenhouse 6 I hear the scream from inside. Rose, Diana and Albus are being swallowed in vines of what looks like venomous tentacula, the flower buds preparing to feast. It reminds me of a prank a third year played on me last week. Wand waving might not be my favourite thing to do but I've gotten good these last 2 months, bullies are everywhere. I remember a counter squeeze spell I found just last night in a third year book, now what was it? What was it?

Releashio "Releashio!"

The branches all loosen and sink away and I'm still pointing them away when they stop staring. Good, I wasn't too late. I hope they don't blame me, they'll hate me for sure. They'll hate me and make my life hell, I just know it until rose comes up after stepping out from the last bit of vines around her feet and sticking out her hand to shake.

"Hi, thanks for the save, I'm rose weasley. Aren't you scorpius malfoy?"

I'm dumbfounded, I grasp her hand and shake speaking and trying to keep the shake of fear out of it.

"Yeah, I am. Are you three alright. What were you even doing in the venomous tentacula ?" I spoke with worry for them more than myself instead of what I thought.

"We were trying to feed the driggible plums like Proffessor Longbottom asked, and we kinda messed up. We usually help him at home and we're good but all the different plants at the same time kinda just jinxed us up like a body bind curse." Albus interrupted.

"Thanks for saving us scorpius, hope you can teach us that spell sometime if your not busy?" Diana spoke up with a smile, I think her last name is Finnigan.

My reply is slightly sad, I had a slight hope that we could be at least passing friends "sure anytime, I'm always free."

"Come on guys we are missing lunch and I can smell the food baking from here and my stomach wants something until dinner!" Rose groaned.

"We're coming" Albus grinned at his cousin as they finished feeding the driggible plums and walking up to the castle.

"HEY SCORPY!!! YOU COMING???" Rose called out and I hurried to catch up, I think friends might not be as much of a problem as I thought.

As we head into the hall we all take seats near each other conversation about proper plant rights and the dangers comes up. Somehow by mid-course we're talking cannon's latest game against the harpies last game. I don't think I've ever felt as free, not to be judged or blamed or yelled at in my life.
