Sex Education // Scorbus

Chapter 4 - Christmas

Professor Potter was in his office working with a student who had asked for private help on his writing, when Professor Malfoy burst in, holding to cups of tea in his hands. Both Albus and the students head shot up in surprise. Scorpius hadn't knocked.

"Oh, hello there, Professor!" Albus spoke.

"Hi," Scorpius smiled, and walked towards the desk, holding out the tea he'd gotten for Albus, "I knew you were working so I hope you don't mind that I brought you some tea."

Albus gladly took the drink and inhaled the nice steam, "Oolong? How'd you know that was my favorite?"

The blonde professor rolled his eyes, "You drink it every morning at breakfast."

"Awh, goals," the student, whose name was Felix, cooed almost sarcastically. The two teachers flushed slightly, having forgot momentarily that he was still in the room.

Albus quickly adverted his attention back to the boy, "What have you got written so far?" Scorpius then slipped out of the office with a smile on his face.

End of semester was two days away and Albus found Scorpius in the break room drinking a cup of coffee, he instantly started up a conversation.

"So, what are you going to be up to over your break?" He asked, proceeding to make himself a drink.

Scorpius, who had been leaning against the counter, shifted to be facing Albus, "Didn't I tell you that I was asked to stay during the break to help monitor the students who're staying? Myself and Mrs. Knaggs are some of the lucky few," he added a bit sarcastically.

Albus chuckled, "Lucky you. I'll have to owl you all the wonderful activities I get up to with my insane family."

"Oh yes, please do. Even if you just wrote to me about how you slept all day and did nothing else, it would be more entertaining," the blonde joked.

Albus gave his colleague a crooked smile, "That's too bad, cause I was thinking about inviting you to my family's Christmas."

"Oh really?" Scorpius perked up a bit.

Albus sheepishly turned away and fiddled with the mug in his hands, "Well only if you were interested."

Scorpius smiled fondly, "Thank you for the invitation. I wish I could come."

Albus nodded, "Me too." Then almost jokingly added, "As friends of course."

Scorpius soft smile turned into a bigger grin, "Oh for sure."

Albus laughed and hit Scorpius' arm playfully, "I'll be thinking of you while I go teach these fifth years some sex ed." He faltered as soon as he said it and watched Scorpius' eyes go wide.

"Oh-?" Scorpius barely got to stutter out as Albus blurted, "Not like that! I didn't mean - not in a sexual way! That's - that's so weird, I - I'm sorry!" He held his hands up as if in defense. His cheeks were slightly pink in embarrassment.

Scorpius merely chuckled, "It's okay, I get it."

"I meant like, I'll be thinking of you 'cause I feel bad that you have to stay, and not - not because I think about you and sex together - no..." He was extremely flustered and Scorpius found it hilarious.

Scorpius playfully shoved him away, "Stop making a fool of yourself and go teach your class!"
