Love is Love: A Scorose Fanfic

Chapter 7: Quidditch Tryouts

(A/N: Ok, so in the last chapter I made a mistake. When Albus replied what Roses's Patronus was, I wrote "but" it was meant to say "bug." Whoopsie!)

The first three weeks of classes went by. They were the same as usual, but now the fifth years had twice the amount of homework that they did last year. Along with the new school year kicking off, meant another Quidditch season was ready to start. Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw were determined to beat Gryffindor this year. Gryffindor had won the Quidditch Cup for the last nine seven years in a row. (Mainly due to a team mostly made up of members from the Weasley-Potter family). This new season excited many students. One of those students include Scorpius Malfoy.

Scorpius woke up at 7:00 am on Friday to have a day filled with classes, and then a night of Quidditch Tryouts.

Like usual, Scorpius woke Albus up, and they went down to breakfast. When they walked into the Great Hall, everyone looked over at Albus.

    " Why are they all looking at you?" Scorpius asked Albus.

"I don't know." Albus responded with a suspicious look on his face.

"How come you didn't tell us!" James said as he waved his brother over to where he and the rest of the Weasley/Potter family was sitting.

"Tell you guys what?" Albus asked.

"That you got your Patronus on the first try!" Roxanne blurted.

"Yea, Rose and the Daily Prophet had to tell us!" Lily added.

With this comment Albus snatched the newspaper, and saw what his family was talking about.

15 year-old wizard, sets new record, being the first to cast a Patronus Charm on the first try when learning it.

Albus Potter, 15 year old Slytherin fifth year, casted a full Patronus Charm on the first try in an O.W.L. Level class. This is the first time in wizarding history that a student casted this complicated charm on the first attempt. Harry Potter, Head Auror for the English Ministry of Magic, told us that he is extremely proud of his son, even admitting that he himself defiantly didn't get the charm on the first try.

Albus read this piece many times. Since Ginny worked at the prophet as a Quidditch reporter, she could pull strings and have this published.

"Explain!" Lily said.

"Well, um, I guess it slipped my mind to tell you. Whoops. Well, it's true." Albus responded.

Lily then playfully hit him on the arm, then Scorpius and Albus continued to the Slytherin table to eat their breakfast.

With many people talking about the subject of Albus's Patronus, Albus and Scorpius continued on with the rest of their class filled day.

It was soon about 4:30 pm, and Albus and Scorpius headed back to the Great Hall for an early dinner. They agreed to do this because Scorpius had to be down at the Quidditch Pitch by 5:00. Scorpius glanced over at the Gryffindor table, but there was a lot of seats empty.

"I reckon they have their tryouts today too." Albus told Scorpius as he saw Scorpius glance over at the red and gold table.

They quickly ate, then Scorpius headed back to the dorm to change into his Quidditch robes and grab his broom.
