A reason (Sequel to Always)

Skipping detention

Both boys decided to go to a party instead of detention.

They drank. And drank. And drank. For hours. 

It ended up with both of them asleep on the floor in the Room of Requirement. Along with many others. 

Harlow woke up to find a girl asleep. Horizontally across him. Scorpius woke up with beer bottles around him. 

***************************************************************************

Later on Harlow came across the girl that had woken up with him in the room of requirement. He kept smirking at her and after class-

"Can you come with me for five minutes?" She asked him in more of a statement than a question. She dragged him along a corridor when finally she pinned him the the wall. "Don't you dare tell anyone about what happened in the Room of requirement. Alright?" 

Harlo smirked. "Okay then, I'll be nice to you." She stared at him murderously with soft teal eyes. She let him go and walked off with her curly blonde hair bouncing as she did. Harlo smirked and made his way to potions. 

Professor Higgins was going over the theory of a living death potion, when there was a knock at the door. A Gryffindor student stood in the doorway. "Professor McGonagall would like too see Harlow and Scorpius Malfoy, because of some verita serum." Both boys gulped.

"Well you better go boys." Professor Higgins smirked. The blonde haired girl smirked at them as they walked out of the door.

***********************************************************************************************

There was a crowd of teachers chattering nervously. Professor Sound looked at both boys smugly. Obviously glad they were getting punished for stealing the verita serum.

"Well boys, I haven't summoned you to ask you about the verita serum." Professor McGonnagall spoke with a slight smile. Professor sound pouted.

A short grey-haired man stepped forwards. "You are both in danger, you're two children of prophecy." He handed them a yellowish parchment. 

The short grey man closed his eyes and began to read the prophecy. "

Two are born

 Two shall die

One shall see within the eye

The other speaks, but not be heard.

Whilst the other may control World.

One shall control their mind.

One shall see further than their eyes

Both shall live

For they have not died

A sibling will need of a brother

None shall die in vain

If one dies young

And their blood is spilt

They will be drained to the bone

Forced to live as shells.

Brother of a brother

Sibling of a sibling

Both from blood, flesh and bone.

Born of life.

And dead of death."

"Take a look at this." Professor McGonagall placed a silver thread of light in the pensieve. She pushed the boys heads into it. 

********************************************************************************

Two children were sitting on a pier. "I bet you that I can make grass grow from the wood of the pier." A blonde haired one smirked. The other nodded and the blonde haired boy placed a hand on the wood and green blades of grass grew from the wood. A dark haired one looked back at a woman who had a feather in her hat. "I bet you anything, I can bring that feather from that woman's hat, without her noticing." The other one nodded. 

The dark haired boy got up and closed his eyes. Then, everything and everyone, stopped moving. The waves stopped flowing, the people stopped talking and speaking. The boys however, could still move. The dark haired boy walked towards the woman, and plucked the white feather from her purple hat.

"Told you."

*********************************************************************************************

"And why did you show us that?" Harlow scowled. Professor McGonagall sighed. 

"Those children, were you."
