Unhealed wounds ➣ Drarry ; Scorbus

Chapter fourteen

«What happened?» it was the headmaster who had talked «Could you two please tell us everything?»

Yes, what had happened?

Now they were in McGonagall's office, at half-past one in the morning.

Not only Scorpius and Albus.
But their parents were there too, next to the old lady, looking at them with the most worried and anxious eyes. The professor had called them.

Albus wished she hadn't.

«We really don't know, professor» the young Malfoy spoke after one entire minute of pure silence and stares at their fathers «We were just going to sleep when all suddenly the windows in our bedroom broke and all the water came flooding in,» their clothes were still wet, soaked «We tried to escape but as soon as we left the room, we were literally swimming-»

«You were swimming. I can't and if wasn't for you, I'd be dead by now» the green-eyed said, turning his head to him.

Their eyes locked. And although it was for a single second, they immediately understood what happened.

It was them.

«-in the dungeons. All the Slytherin Dormitory was inundated-»

They had caused the inundation.

«Until we discover what has caused the flood, the Slytherins will be sleeping in the Great Hall, in fact,» The headmaster interrupted him, «However since we know that the inundation started from your bedroom, you absolutely have no idea of what could have caused it? Nothing at all?»

Their bond. Their love had.

Scorpius and Albus looked at each other instantly. And then at their parents.

The above-mentioned were staring at them, not even glimpsing at the other.

«I already told you that. We know nothing, professor-» Scorpius started, hesitating but Albus immediately stopped him.

«Why don't we ask the Great Harry Potter if he has an idea of what could have caused it?»

Shock hit their faces.

«Albus-»

«No, seriously dad, why don't you try to assume something?» his voice was furious, mad, his traits altered by anger «For example- let me think- mh- I don't know, the fact that you never told your son that he was destined to love your real soulmate's child?»

Silence.

Harry tried to get closer to his third son, but he flinched, disgust on his face.

«Or that you liked boys too, at least?» Albus shook his head, «You dared not to tell your children that your soulmate was not your wife, but fucking Draco Malfoy!»

Silence fell again in the office.

«I think it's better if I'll leave you four alone...»

As soon as McGonagall had left the office, Albus found himself eyeing at his father and his father only. Even Scorpius seemed far from him now.

Draco, however, give the stare back with wide eyes, «You never told your son that it's normal to like a person of the same sex?»

«Listen, Malfoy-»

«You didn't have to tell him about me! Or whatever was what you and I had!» he turned his head to him «But that you loved a man! And that it felt good!»

«Malfoy-»

«Why are you calling him by his surname dad?» Albus interrupted him hastily «From what I've heard, you two seemed very close. First-name basis»
