Harry Potter and the Death Dodger

Chapter 2

Scorpius Malfoy was in the parlor when he was called over by his father. "Come, Scorpius, into my office" said Draco showing no emotion.
"Yes, father. Have I done any wrong?" Scorpius asked, frankly quite scared of the answer.
Draco Malfoy was a great father. Even though, he didn't show it in public places, inside these four walls, he called his office, he was more himself, a better father. He only called Scorpius into his office, if he needed to tell his son how proud of him, he was, or if Scorpius had done something bad. Which he has done a few times, either with Albus, to get Rosie's attention or something she asked him to do. That Rose, it's all he could think about. She was lovely, wasn't she? He thought to himself, nobody else seemed to agree. she typically distanced herself from him and Albus, only to hangout with James Potter, Judy -or Nessa, or whatever she wants to be called, for what matters- Longbottom and their mates, like some guy called Tony Shiba, he was adopted by some family and every girl is crazy for him. Rose wasn't crazy for him, she was friends with him, she wouldn't want to ruin the friendship between her and darling Tony Shiba. Scorpius was jealous, he'd admit to that much, but never he thought that Shiba was better than him in that way, or any way, as far as he's concerned.
"I called you in here," pause for suspense, Draco loved doing that "to discuss the rest of the year and how, by the end of the next year, you'll be choosing who's hand you are going to take." Those last few words terrified him. He knew who's hand he wanted to take, Rose's, of course, but he couldn't just go up to her and say she and him were meant to be. He died a little inside, he didn't want to marry anyone but her.
"Father, I think we better wait and see." Scorpius was surprised those words came out of his own mouth "Wait for the right one, I mean, you never know what you can get nowadays.
"You're right," Draco replied straight away "we wouldn't want you running around with a Parkinson."
Scorpius was relieved as he was summoned to get ready for once again, entering the train, where he first met Rose, hoping that he would "accidentally" bump into her there.
